Cat Sitting Rockville

About: I’ve been around pets my entire life, growing up in a family that always had two dogs. As the eldest, I naturally took on a lot of the responsibility, feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning up, helping with training, and of course giving plenty of love and playtime. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for neighbors’ dogs and cats, always making sure to follow their instructions carefully so each pet feels comfortable and cared for just the way their family would want.😊 Working from home gives me the flexibility to be fully present for your pets throughout the day. I naturally take breaks often, which I love to spend playing, walking, or giving them attention so they feel happy and cared for. Since I can bring my work with me, I’m also able to stay in your home as long as needed; making sure your pets have company, comfort, and consistent care without ever feeling alone. When I care for pets in their own home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar space. I follow your routines closely so everything feels consistent for them. Since I work from home, I can spend plenty of time with your pets, giving them attention throughout the day. My goal is to treat them like family and make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and never feel alone.

“Carolyn did an excellent job taking care of my two cats, and followed instructions perfectly. She even left a light on for me when I returned home late tonight, which was a pleasant surprise!! Would definitely recommend!!”

“Sierra was great with our older kitten, who was exhibiting signs of anxiety (not eating or using his litter box correctly). She immediately contacted with me, made adjustments and went above and beyond to help clean up and make sure he was comfortable and attended to. He calmed down and we were able to enjoy our extended trip.”

“Very sweet very kind would definitely recommend”

About: I truly love animals and care for every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, dependable, and always try to make pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to adjust to each pet’s personality and routine. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel at ease. Spending time with animals is honestly one of the best parts of my day. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, feedings, and check-ins throughout the week. Caring for pets feels natural to me, and I love making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with care and respect, always following your instructions closely to keep your pet safe and comfortable. I pay attention to routines, keep things clean and consistent, and make sure your pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also send regular updates so you always know how things are going.

“Corinne was fantastic! She went above and beyond to care for my cat Winky and made sure I knew she was happy and comfortable while we were gone. She helped us last minute, and was even able to come twice a day. She made an extra visit when I was worried Winky was stuck under our guest room bed. I would definitely ask Corinne to help again in the future.”

“Shes great, consistent and my babies love her”

“We felt completely comfortable when we were away. The animals loved Natasha and her daughter. So nice to find someone you can trust with your fur babies.”

Christina J.

“Sophia is very communicative and I know I can rely on her with my one senior and one high-energy pups. I appreciate how clear she communicates and her attention to detail!”

Chrissy W.

“Alexa did an amazing job. My dog has terrible separation anxiety and she took great care of him!!!”

Jodi S.

“This was our first time using Rover. Riley was helpful in explaining how it worked. She watched our cat for several visits for two days. For each visit she sent information on how the visit went. Unfortunately our kitty would run and hide after greeting her so she couldn’t get many pictures. She even went and found him and sat trying to convince him to come out! He ate well during her visits and she was kind to clean up the dirty cat bowls each time! It’s also very comforting knowing Riley has experience working in a vet clinic.”

Cathie S.

“Bianca took great care of our cats, dropping in to visit every day. They were happy and both mentally and physically healthy when we got home from an almost 3-week trip. We'll be long-term customers, for sure!”

Susan H.

“Although my cat was initially wary of a stranger, Alexandra made fast friends with him and I felt better knowing he wasn't too lonely while I was gone. Thanks Alexandra!”

Jessica T.

“Kate was so amazing with our two pets! Can’t recommend her enough! :)”

Kirsten G.

“Mark did a wonderful job with my fur babies. Very attentive, punctual, and caring. My two pups are like polar opposites, one big and hyper, one small and chill, and he made sure they each got the attention they needed. Excellent job!”

About: I'm a dedicated pet sitter with over 8 years of pet care experience. I've worked professionally at a dog daycare for 2 years and have volunteered with animal shelters for the past 4 years, where I helped train dogs and worked with pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am Pet First Aid certified through the American Red Cross and experienced in administering medications when needed. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a senior dog, or a nervous rescue, I strive to provide patient, attentive care tailored to their individual needs. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important communication is while you're away, so I provide regular updates and photos to help you feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days of the week for drop-in visits and dog walks. I respond promptly to booking requests, typically within an hour, and do my best to accommodate each pet's needs and routine. Availability may vary slightly based on my work schedule, but I keep my calendar updated and encourage owners to reach out with any questions about specific dates. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine and providing a safe, comfortable environment. I carefully follow feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions while ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. With 8 years of pet-sitting experience, 2 years of professional dog daycare experience, 4 years volunteering with animal shelters, and Pet First Aid certification through the American Red Cross, I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them and can't imagine life without them. Twice a week I volunteer at a local dog rescue, which keeps me sharp on handling dogs of all ages, temperments, and needs. I also share my home with cats, so I understand feline routines and personalities just as well as I do dogs. From playful puppies and kittens to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience, I am able to offer an energetic walk or a calm, reassuring visit to your pet's day. I bring genuine love, attentiveness, and real hands-on experience to every walk and drop-in. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have a consistent schedule and enjoy planning my days around the pets I am caring for. I volunteer at a dog rescue on Monday and Friday mornings and have a few standing commitments on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and am committed to maintaining each pet's individual or household routines. I am very reliable, thrive with structure, and always make sure the pets in my care receive the attention and consistency they deserve. I believe pets thrive with a consistent routine and am able to follow instructions closely for feeding, litter box cleaning, walks, medications, brushing, and any other custom and daily care. I also pay close attention to each pet's behavior and body language so I am able to recognize when something seems out of character or when they need a different approach, committing to always notify the owner for follow up. I never force interactions or activities- for example, if a dog is not interested in a walk, I will adjust and find an alternative way to keep them engaged and comfortable. Above all, I prioritize a clean, safe, and low-stress environment where both cats and dogs feel secure and well cared for.

“Mary took great care of our 2 cats while we were away. We appreciated the pictures she took during her check ins. Mary followed all of the instructions we provided to her and was always on time for check ins. We would definitely trust Mary to look after our cats again!”
