“Karrah D. is a wonderful cat sitter! She came everyday that I was away, and took good care of my older cat, Grace. She played with her and then shared several photos of Grace each day with her visit report to me. I would definitely ask her back, and I highly recommend her.”
“Sophie was amazing with our kitties. She was so communicative throughout her stay and gave our boys lots of love. Will definitely be calling her whenever we go out of town!!”
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
About: I’ve had all types of pets growing up from fish, turtles, cats, three dogs, a bunny, an insane amount of guinea pigs you name it. Always loved furry friends. I recently relocated to the DMV area and had to leave my job. I wanted to do something I love and I love animals so I have plenty of free time for your babies! I like to make sure furry friends are fed, walked, and enriched with fun stimulating activities. Rest assured your furry friend and safe and cared for.
About: I’ve help my friends taken care of different types of dogs when they are away. I understand dogs can feel anxious when their owners are gone, so I give them calm, consistent companionship. I’m working full time from Monday to Friday with every Friday work remotely. More availability from Friday to Sunday.My boyfriend works 100% remotely and he can help me too. I love spend time with furry friends. I care for each pet based on their individual personality, routine, and needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow your instructions closely for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication if needed, and any other parts of their normal routine. I know many cats feel most comfortable when things stay familiar, so I’ll give them space when they want it and plenty of attention when they’re ready for it. I’ll also keep their environment clean and secure and send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Drew was great with our kitties! They were happy and well cared for. Drew was always excellent with communication, and he even went above and beyond in care by making sure everything was very clean in the process (without needing to even be asked). We are very happy with the service he provided and we will definitely book again in the future!”
About: I have been working with pets in my neighborhood since I was in 7th grade and have gradually gotten more involved and invested as years went on. I volunteer with lucky dog animal rescue as well as different local shelters in my area! I have a passion for animals, especially spicy dogs and shy/anti social cats!! I am currently at home working on rehabilitation with my sister and family after she had a large medical procedure. I have a lot of free time within her schedule and am excited to add in some furry friends! Trust and safety are always important. Communication is very important within both sides. I want to work with you to not only ensure your comfort, but your pets comfort too. I look forward to learning all the things important to you and your dogs lives, boundaries and special moments within everybodys needs.
“Landy was great! She was very patient, very attentive to all the instructions I left, and very communicative throughout the process. I felt confident while I was away that my two cats were well looked after. I will definitely retain her services again the next time I travel.”
“Landy was fantastic! She is very attentive and communicative, giving us detailed daily reports and lots of pics, which gained our trust knowing our cat was in great care. We definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs, and we look forward to booking her in the future to take care of ours.”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 6 years old and have always had a love for animals. I currently have a Border Collie, and I've helped train him to follow basic commands like sitting. I regularly walk, feed, bathe, and care for him, which has given me hands-on experience with daily pet care and routines. Since moving to Maryland, I've also gained experience cat sitting for both small and large cats. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's going for a walk, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., which allows me to help with feedings, walks, check-ins, or other pet care needs before and after work. I am also available in the evenings to spend quality time with pets and make sure they receive the attention and care they need. On weekends, I have a much more flexible schedule and am generally available throughout the day for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and extended care. I enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to each week. I am very respectful when entering a client's home and always treat it with care. I take off my shoes, follow any instructions provided, and make sure I leave the space the way I found it. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. When caring for pets, I like to take the time to get to know them and build trust so they feel comfortable around me. Every animal has a different personality, and I try to meet them where they are. I also love keeping pet parents updated, so I'll send photos and messages throughout the visit so you can see your pet is happy, safe, and getting plenty of attention while you're away.
About: Growing up, my house was full in the best way possible. Every pet was treated like family, and I learned early on that each animal has its own personality, needs, and way of showing affection. I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, hamsters, chinchillas, snakes, guinea pigs, fish, and more. That range means I’m comfortable with more than the usual routine. I pay close attention to body language and habits, and I can keep you updated with photos and notes. I’ll treat your pet the way I’d want my own pets to be treated! I’m working full-time from 10am-7pm, but I’m flexible outside of those hours. I’m also a graduate student, so I know how to use my time wisely. I like to stay busy. I have a secure house and I’m very respectful when entering someone else’s home. I’ll leave everything as-is and perform tasks with ease and composure.
About: I’ve been professionally pet sitting for 5 years, and I love giving my attention to dogs and cats! I’m easy-going and would love to chat with you about how to best meet your pet’s needs. I will ensure your pet’s happiness and safety above all else. I understand our pets are just like our children so they should be treated with the same love & care. I can give them medicine as needed or watch out for any concerns you might have. If I watch your animal for an extended period of time, I will send you pictures and updates too! I work in person from 9-5pm daily in Silver Spring but I’m more than happy to take care of your pets before and after though. On weekends, I like to explore the DMV area as much as possible, but I will always make sure your pet’s needs are taken care of first. I always take care of the pets I’m watching before I start work for the day. Every pet is different so there’s not a one size fits all description, but I will make sure your pet is well-loved in your absence.
“Tania was a great sitter and I know my kitty enjoyed her regular visits over my trip. Have worked with her a number of times now and am always satisfied. Great communication and updates. My place was as clean as it was before I left, if not better. Thank you!!”
“Cat parents - look no further than Mary for your kitty sitting needs! Mary kept us at ease with our three kitties during a trip. She is very communicative and shared plenty of routine updates as well as whenever something was a bit off with the cats or the house. All of our instructions were followed purrfectly and Mary treated our cats with a lot of care. If you're a cat person looking for another cat person to watch your kitties then I highly recommend Mary!”
“Jennifer is wonderful. This was the first time she took care of our cat, and it went well. She is easy to communicate with. We will definitely request her again.”
About: I have cared for pets since I was a child. We've had our own fur babies and also fostered many rescues from the street. I did this especially when we lived in Morocco and Jordan, where many stray animals could be found lost in the streets. Over these years I have learned to understand animals and notice their personality traits and quirks. I love them all! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am often also available on short notice. I am willing to keep pets at my home or come to yours. I have a cat but she is very friendly and easy going with dogs. If a dog or cat I am caring for needs some space or if they don't get along I keep my cat upstairs, and put up a baby gate if needed.
“Booked Lilla for cat care while I was away for the week and she went above and beyond to give my kitty the special attention he needed. She also provided detailed reports during her visits so I knew he was doing well!”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Silver Spring is $22
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Silver Spring
Michael is my favorite pet-sitter that I've hired on Rover. From the very first meet and greet, Michael impressed me as warm, thorough, and completely focused on task. His wonderfully detailed notes on the visits with my girls warmed my heart and put a smile on my face. He went the extra mile to get my skittish Pixie-cat to warm up and play, and documented their play thoroughly. I would recommend him to anyone and happily and enthusiastically hire him to care for my babies in the future.
Highly recommend! Quantairra was flexible with my last-minute booking and provided updates after each visit. My scaredy cat, who normally hides under my bed whenever new people come over, actually came out on the first day, let Quantairra pet her and engaged in some playtime. Honestly, that alone deserves 5 stars!!
Kim was super professional and took great care of our two cats. She was organized, communicative, and spent plenty of time playing with our cats during her daily visits. We got lots of great pictures and detailed updates too! I’d definitely recommend Kim to others.
We were naturally a bit anxious using Rover for the first time after our long-time pet sitters moved away, but Joelle and Andrew completely put our minds at ease! They took care of our three cats—Church, Cherry, and Ebony—for almost a week and were absolutely wonderful. They arrived on time for every visit, kept up with feeding and box maintenance, and made sure to spend quality time playing with each of them. Capturing the hearts of three very different personalities isn't easy, but Joelle and Andrew gave each cat the exact attention and care they needed. We couldn't be happier or more satisfied, and we will definitely be booking them again!

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
