About: As I have evolved, I've found connecting and caring for fur babies brings pure joy. I am here to support your journey with your loved pets. I'm a yoga instructor and teach only on Wednesdays. Im available other weekdays and weekends, anytime after 11am usually. Im able to adjust per requests. I would prefer to care for pets in client's home, where they can be most comfortable with all resources readily available. I'm available to take dogs for walks/day sit.
“Jenny is amazing! Every interaction with her is thoughtful and with so much attention to detail. Thank you so much for taking great care of our dog, from giving her all the cuddles to sending us excellent communication updates and photos.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I've owned and cared for dogs since I was 8 years old and have experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, personalities, and temperaments. Along with dogs, I've cared for cats throughout my life and have completed extended cat-sitting assignments lasting up to 8 months. My animal experience doesn't stop there—I have also cared for exotic pets, including lizards, reptiles, and birds, and have owned birds myself. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I pride myself on adapting my care to each pet's personality and routine. One of my specialties is working with larger reactive dogs. As the owner of a reactive dog myself, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, reading body language, and maintaining a safe environment. Safety is something I take extremely seriously—for your pet, for myself, and for everyone around us. I always follow owner instructions carefully and prioritize responsible handling practices during walks, drop-ins, and house sits. Over the years, I've provided house-sitting and drop-in care for many friends and their pets, giving me experience adapting to different homes, schedules, and care requirements. Whether your pet needs a high-energy play session, medication reminders, quiet companionship, or a structured routine, I'm happy to accommodate their needs. As an added bonus, my apartment complex has a dog washing station available for baths if requested. I also love building genuine bonds with the animals I care for and occasionally leave owner-approved treats or small gifts for pets I've gotten to know well. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, feathered, or scaled family members! My schedule is perfect for pet care throughout the week! I'm available on weekdays before 10:00 AM and again after 5:00 PM for drop-in visits, walks, and check-ins. On weekends, I have open availability and can provide care at any time of day. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible, whether they need an early morning visit, evening care, or multiple check-ins throughout the day. Feel free to reach out with your needs, and I'll do my best to accommodate your schedule! I provide pet care directly in your home, helping your pet stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you're away. This includes drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, walks, and any other routine care your pet needs. Staying in their own home helps reduce stress for pets, especially cats and animals that do better with consistency. I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to make sure everything stays as close to their normal routine as possible while you're gone.
“Gracie is very attentive and took great care of our two kitties. We got pictures every visit. One of our automated feeders failed while we were away and it was really easy to communicate with Gracie by message on the fly to solve the issue. Will definitely be leaving our kitties in her hands in the future!”
“Ashley was wonderful and took great care of our two kitties while we were away for a week. She was able to successfully administer medication and accommodate a slightly complex feeding schedule. Her updates were really funny and I looked forward to reading them!”
“Michelle was a huge help and I really appreciated her flexibility. My cats are very shy but seemed to warm up to her by the second visit. I’d definitely book her again. Thanks!”
“It is pleasure working with Lingshan. She is punctual, responds promptly, keeps me updated of the visits and is very reliable. I also appreciated extra time that she spent with my Golden. She is of great help when I am away at work.”
“Andrew was an excellent sitter for our two kitties while we were away. He sent us numerous photos and adhered strictly to their routine. It was evident that our kitties adored him and were delighted to see him in the pictures. We’re definitely planning to use Andrew again for our next trip away.🥰”
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!
“Krystian is always great with our pet’s! They love the care and attention they receive when he comes to check in on them. I always get lots of pictures from the visits. They are always super happy which makes me happy.”
“Julianna did a great job keeping us informed of how our kitty was doing during our five days away from home, always sending pictures and giving us updates on how the kitty was handling our absence. We recommend her highly.”
“Catherine took care of our elderly cat recently. She did a great job with her special needs and provided feedback for each visit. Catherine offered and checked our mail each day. Thank you!”
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.
“Xin took excellent care of our two cats, who warmed up to her immediately! We loved the pictures she took during her visits. Knowing they were in great care made it easier to enjoy our time away from them. Xin is highly recommended!”
“Teresa was an excellent pet sitter for our dog (Luna)! She sent detailed notes, pictures, updates through the days she was pet sitting. She also responded to our questions quickly and made sure Luna felt comfortable.”
“Hazel has been great help for our busy family and taking care of Max our fur baby. Super punctual and flexible and communicative. Max sure enjoys his walks with her. Thank you Hazel 🙏🏻”
“Our cat loved Emi and she was a great caretaker for us over the weekend. She communicated with us very well and did a great job letting us know how each visit went, with great candid photos! She was able to meet our needs last minute and followed all of our instructions perfectly!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and have been dog-sitting for over 10 years. I’m experienced with senior dogs and pets with special needs, and I always make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I just graduated from a master's program and am currently studying for my licensure test, so I am fairly flexible! For the next couple of months, I am looking to fill my days with pets and practice tests :) I love to send pet parents photos so you can check in on your little one while I'm with them! I also strive to keep your pet's typical routine consistent while you are away, helping your pet stay happy, healthy, and stress-free.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Rockville
Ashley was wonderful and took great care of our two kitties while we were away for a week. She was able to successfully administer medication and accommodate a slightly complex feeding schedule. Her updates were really funny and I looked forward to reading them!
We had a wonderful experience with Yuandi. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly very experienced with cats. From the photos and videos she shared, I could tell that my cat felt completely comfortable with her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with Yuandi again in the future and would highly recommend her to other cat owners.
Melody did a wonderful job with our cat Isabel for a week while we were gone! Even though Isabel was a little suspicious at first, Melody was patient with her and won her over. Melody was also super professional, communicative, and responsive throughout our entire booking. We'll definitely keep her in mind for future cat-sitting needs, and we'd highly recommend her to others!
Alice was so wonderful and gave me lots of updates and pictures of my cat and let me know how he was behaving, eating, etc. Her level of communication was exactly what I was hoping for since I had just moved & this was the 1st time I had been gone for a few days since the move. I really appreciated her reassurance that he was fine.
Judson is the best catsitter we’ve had. He’s attentive, caring, and consistent. He gets on the floor with the cats and interacts with them and plays with their toys. Our cats are a bit spastic and weird about strangers but they warmed up to Judson quickly which is always a great sign. He sent us multiple pictures every day of the cats along with a note about how they were doing. Choosing a random person on an app is nerve wracking and stressful because you’re putting all your trust in them to not only take care of your animals but also be in your home. Judson is trustworthy and respectful, but he also has a great sense of humor! I would recommend him again and again.
Alisyah is really great at communicating key pick up and giving detailed updates every day! I always received multiple photos of my cats and images to confirm feeding etc. My cats liked her almost immediately and were very well taken care of. I didn’t worry about them the whole trip!
Amanda did a wonderful job caring for Coco with daily drop-in visits while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos that gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. We really appreciated knowing Coco was being cared for in the comfort of our own home. Amanda was professional and dependable, and we’d be happy to book with her again. Thank you, Amanda!
Jenny was great! She seems very conscientious, reliable, and concerned about our pets. She arrived at the pre-arranged time and confirmed by text. As requested by us, she called when there were questions about feeding, medication, etc. We will definitely request her support in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Rockville on Rover is $23.31 per visit (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 8,111 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Rockville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
