“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 is incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely caring, not just toward pets, but in everything she does. My cat seemed comfortable and well cared for the entire time, which gave me real peace of mind during my vacation. What truly stood out was how she went above and beyond: she even helped me quickly access important information from a time-sensitive delivery while I was traveling. That level of thoughtfulness and trustworthiness is rare. If you’re looking for someone responsible, dependable, and truly compassionate, I highly recommend her. I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Nicole always does such a wonderful job caring for our dog. I especially like her comments to us on Rover that truly shows she understands the personality of our stubborn, quirky yet lovable dog. It makes me feel secure knowing Nicole is looking after her while we travel.”
“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.”
“Sharon was very attentive my little kitty’s needs! She sent pictures and updates and came for a pre visit. Instructions were followed to a T! Thank you so much, I will definitely use Sharon again!”
“Emi took great care of our two cats while we were traveling. She gave some love to our babies and even the more shy of our cats came out to greet her. Couldn’t have wished for a better sitter!”
“Sophia was incredible. She came to our house and shone as an amazing pet sitter. She had time, experience with pet sitting and she asked all the right questions. She played with our cats and even picked up a bag of chocolate that was on the floor for us which would have been a big hazard. Sophia went above and beyond and did the litter and our cats are very picky. I feel overall the cats were well loved and cared for while we were away which is a great blessing and I’m so glad we booked Sophia to take care of our pet needs. I recommend her 10/10. Thank you Sophia!!!”
“John is a great cat sitter - he took great care of the kitties and was prompt in communication! I will definitely be hiring John again the next time we go out of town.”
“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.”
“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!”
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.
“Julianna is absolutely incredible! It has been a while since we saw such a responsible, reliable and punctual pet sitter. I’ve been struggling to trust someone with my fur babies but Julianna made it so easy! Most pet sitters just come over, give the food and that’s it. But Julianna stayed a while to play with our very active kittens! She’s truly amazing!! Cannot wait to book her for our next trip!”
“Highly recommend for any of your pets!! We had Christine drop in for house visitors for our dog and we will def. reach out again! Took excellent care and provided updates everyday; excellent communication!”
“Andrew did a great job taking care of our our two cats! He followed our instructions and contacted me to let me know the litter robot looked like it was having an issue. He was very helpful and we will definitely ask him to watch our pets again.”
“My cats and I are extremely grateful for Jenni's help. I truly felt comfortable being out of the country, knowing that my cats are being looked after very well. I could also see my cats' pictures and read about their day daily thanks to Jenni. Jenni is really great in so many ways!”
“If you're looking for someone who truly cares, Jessica is the one! She’s incredibly responsive and has such a gentle, loving touch with our elderly dog. I trust her completely and will definitely keep booking her services. She’s reliable, punctual, and always goes above and beyond. If you want peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in great hands, you won’t regret choosing Jessica. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our sweet pup!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockville
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 great with my cat and dog! My dog is very nervous and she took her time letting Tot warm up to her. Ashley accommodated a short notice booking which was amazing, and she was prompt, kept me updated and checked over everything I asked her to. I would highly recommend her!
Courtney was incredible. Not only did she do really well with our older cat (who can be slow to trust) she went above and beyond including dropping by our house at night (after she had already visited our cat for the day!) to grab an important box of medicine and get it out of the rain and into the fridge (even though I told her it could wait a day to not inconvenience her!) She's really a great person, a wonderful sitter and our cat loved spending time with her!
Had a great experience with Jessica! She took such good care of Truffle during the drop-in visits, kept the litter clean, and made sure food and water were always taken care of. Super reliable and caring — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rockville on Rover is $22.47 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 17,628 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rockville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rockville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
