“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 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!”
“Wow! And WOW again! My two cats were totally gratified with every bit of Xin's detailed care for 3 weeks. And so am I! And she swooped back in when my return flights delayed my return to home which was great. All my upcoming trips will be with Xin - no doubt about it.”
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.
“Sharon took great care of our two cats while we were away for a week! One of our cats requires daily medication and she was able to administer the medication even when our cat was not being the most cooperative. We will definitely book her again!”
“Teresa did a fantastic job checking in on our cats! She was available for a last-minute holiday booking, was super patient with our shy cat, and we felt safe and comfortable having her stop by our home.”
“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.🥰”
“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!”
“John was an excellent caretaker for my cat. John was quick to communicate when we were setting up dates, and came to visit before to meet us. Sent multiple photos and details about each visit and was attentive to my cat's needs. Would highly recommend.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Jenni is the absolute best. We work with her every single time we go out of town. She’s really so loving and caring to our cat, he’s always in a good mood when we return. She provides thorough updates and plenty of pictures. He has medical conditions and she makes sure he takes his medicines! Highly recommend Jenni!”
“Julianna was absolutely wonderful with my two kitties. They usually take awhile to warm up to strangers but Chestnut in particular came out to greet her every day and even Peanut (more shy) came down to see her. Julianna reached out to me before entering the house to make sure alarm was off and did a great job keeping me informed. Will definitely be using her again!”
“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!”
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!
About: Hi! My name is Anna, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 6 years. My experience includes dog sitting, walking, and bathing dogs of all ages and sizes. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. I treat every pet with the same kindness, attention, and affection that I would want for my own furry friends! I work part-time so I am usually free late afternoons and early mornings before work! I am currently working part-time! so my early mornings before 8 are free, as well as my afternoons after 4 :). I am completely free on weekends. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning litter boxes or yards, giving medications, or simply providing company, I make sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I treat every home with respect, keep pet areas tidy, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident and connected while they're away.
“Our three cats had a great time with Claudia! She was diligent about letting us know how they were doing, how much they were eating, and if they were playing/socializing with each other and her. Claudia even went above and beyond by medicating one of our cats after she had a surprise trip to the vet the day before we left on vacation, and by watering our plants at each of her visits as well. We would definitely book with Claudia again!”

Jessica was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my elderly cat and followed all of my instructions perfectly. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up after the cat and taking gorgeous pictures as updates throughout her visits. I would happily book her again, and I recommend her highly!
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!
Ana was fantastic! I will absolutely use her again for my two feline furbabies. I know all cat owners say their cats are particular but mine definitely are and Ana followed all the instructions I gave her. Her photos and notes were so helpful while I was gone. My cats were clearly comfortable with her right away which made being away easier. Thanks so much, Ana!
Rachel took amazing care of our cat, Blue, while we were away. She followed all of our feeding instructions, spent time playing with her, and sent regular updates and pictures that gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Blue and made sure she was happy and well cared for. We are so grateful to have found Rachel and will absolutely continue using her services in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.

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:

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.
