“This was my first time hiring a sitter, and Anna came through with flying colors! She came right on time, took extra care with my diabetic kitty, and kept me up to date. I'm so grateful!”
“Gracie was great! She was available for a last minute drop-in to give my cat his morning pill. We video chatted the day before to show her the ropes and I appreciated how detail oriented she was in making sure she knew exactly what my cat needed.”
“Lingshan was great! She was super communicative and sent lots of update photos. My cats are usually fearful of new people and will stay hidden with care takers, but my girl Mia warmed up to Lingshan immediately during our meet and greet and followed her around during every visit.”
“Xin did a fantastic job looking after our cat over the holidays. She was great at communicating, got along well with our cat, and was very mindful of the urinary issues that we advised her to look out for. I would absolutely book Xin again.”
“Brianne, was prompt, responded quickly and capture the best a pictures. She was able to make a last minute adjustment to the schedule I appreciate her and will definitely book again.”
About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.
“This was a last minute request and Sharon was unable to do the original time asked but was kind enough to offer another time same day. I was sent photos and updated on Christofur. I'm very thankful for her and will use Sharon's services again.”
“I highly recommend Ivan as someone who will take great care of your pet. He has been doing a great job looking after my dog (1h drop in visits daily). There was a recent minor medical emergency and he handled it extremely well. He is thoughtful and conscientious of the pet’s individual needs. Very grateful to have him!”
“Andrew was great! This way my first time using Rover and I was so nervous about leaving my cat. He made me feel comfortable leaving her in his hands and she loved him (she typically hides when she isn’t sure of someone).”
“Emi was an absolute gem! She checked on Gracie every day and took the best care of her. I think Emi could tell that I was very nervous about leaving my baby home alone for the first time ever, so she sent me pictures and very detailed descriptions of her visits, which I loved and appreciated very much! I highly recommend Emi, and will request her every time! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!😻”
“John is awesome! Everything was great: dogs fed on time, let out to play, and were well-taken care of. John sent us pictures and videos of them for each visit and they were very happy. We will definitely ask him to take care of our dogs again - he does wonderful work!”
“Jessica was a wonderful walker of our three dogs, of varying sizes and temperments I might add. She was responsive, adapatable, warm, and funny. I would highly recommend her.”
“As usual, when we came home, the cats were all in good moods, their litters were clean, and they had fresh water. It’s such a relief to know that Heather is consistently great with them.”
“Julianna is amazing. Reliable, Trustworthy, Communicative and Kind. Couldn't recommend her more. It was a relief to know that our precious kitties were in great hands.”
“Jenna is a superstar! She has been caring for our dog who absolutely adores her. Jenna is loving and sweet, she plays with our dog, and she sends us terrific pictures. By the way, I think she can start a pet photography business, because each photo is amazing. I completely trust Jenna with our fur baby, and we have 100% peace of mind that she is dropping in and giving dog love, fresh air, a bio break, and exercise. We feel so fortunate to work with Jenna!”
“Ashley took care of my cat while we were away for a couple of weeks. She is great! Yayo really enjoyed her company, and she took care of all his needs. Definitely recommend booking with Ashley!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I can remember. From house sitting, to walking them, to even taking care of my own dog. I’ve worked with different breeds and ages, and I love them all! I stay at home mostly throughout the week, and I’ve been wanting to get out a couple of times, and this would be the perfect opportunity to take care of your dogs in walking, or dropping by to play! I live in an apartment complex, so I would have to go to where you are to walk/play with your dog, or I could take them to a dog park!
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Rockville is $22
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rockville
This was our first time using Rover and Annika was absolutely fabulous!! She did such a amazing job going above and beyond to take care of our sweet girl Alice while we were out of town. We definitely look forward to having Annika watch after Alice whenever we go out of town.
I want to share my deep appreciation for Ashley taking very good care of my two cats while I was away for 17 days. She was so communicative and always kept me up to date. She has a lot of knowledge about animals and was very helpful when one of the cats was having trouble with anxiety and diarrhea while I was away. She also cleaned up several messes, which I hugely appreciated. I would trust Ashley to take care of my cats any time and definitely would like Ashley to be my regular cat sitter. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you!
Ashley was an absolute gem! She was completely reliable; we never had to wonder if she’d show up or follow through. The adorable photos she sent at every visit became the little highlight of our day we’d find ourselves looking forward to. The biggest sign she was doing something right? Our cat normally wolfs down her food out of anxiety or boredom when we travel — with Ashley, she ate totally calmly and looked happy in the photos. That said it all. We’re so grateful for the peace of mind and will 100% be rebooking her. Highly recommend!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rockville on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
