“Joanne is a great sitter, she did an excellent job with my Hershey! She stayed in contact with me throughout the evening, checked in with updates regarding Hershey, and shared pictures. This was my first time using a sitter through Rover and I’m so glad I lucked out with Joanne. Her experience with pets was perfect for Hershey (and me lol) since he’s still a young puppy and used to being with me mostly. I will definitely work with her again!”
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.
“Maura was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! This was my first time leaving Duchess home without me for several days, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Maura made the entire experience so much easier. She was attentive, spent quality time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. I especially appreciated how consistent Maura was with sending updates and pictures and letting me know how Duchess was doing throughout the day. I would absolutely book with Maura again. I think Duchess may have officially found herself a new babysitter!”
“Leo was great with Hemingway and adapted well to his special needs (inhaler). He was punctual and communicative and I would definitely use him again!”
“Katherine has been so helpful, accommodating, and reliable, when it comes to Callie. As a first time dog owner, I am worried all the time about my puppy, so it’s nice to know she’s with someone who genuinely cares during the day. Would definitely recommend!”
“Maggie always does a fantastic job with our crazy dogs. She is dependable, trustworthy, and goes the extra mile with the dogs during each visit. The dogs love her and We are so grateful we found her!”
“Drew went to my home daily for almost 2 weeks and took exceptional care of my 4 dogs. He left very good notes and did everything asked of him. I would definitely use Drew again to care for my dogs.”
“Steve and Jesse were great pet sitters and took such good care of our cat Kodak. They took lots of pictures and left very detailed care notes after each drop in visit. Kodak was well fed, groomed, and engaged with during the entire time we were away. I highly recommend Steve and Jesse and will definitely be using their services in the future.”
“Rounida was very reliable and an excellent cat sitter. She took great care of my Callie and made sure she was behaving herself. She also cuddled and played with her so she wouldn't be so lonely when I was out of town. I came home to my house exactly as I had left it, and there were no unwelcome surprises. I will definitely book her again!”
“Larquana was wonderful!!! She was timely, followed instructions very well, sent the best and most pictures and left the sweetest report cards. I’m so thankful to her and we will certainly book her again for our future needs - thank you so much!!!”
About: I've cared for dogs throughout college as a part-time job, gaining experience with both dog walking and pet sitting. I've walked dogs multiple times a week for several families and understand the importance of providing consistent care, attention, and exercise. I love being outdoors, running, and staying active, so your dog will get plenty of exercise while having a fun and safe experience. I'm currently working remotely part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day. For those working 9-to-5 jobs, I'm available to walk, play with, and care for your pups while you're away! My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet in mine, I'll ensure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
“Jason was kind and gentle with my two old dogs. i would definitely recommend him and use him again too. As a bonus he took beautiful pictures oh my old black dog.”
“Delaney took care of our cat while we were on a trip for a few days. She was very responsive and clear in her communication, and our food-motivated cat was happy, and healthy. We hope we will be able to call on her again in the future.”
About: My passion is making sure pets are cared for to the utmost quality. My pet sitting journey started by walking my neighbors dogs when I was just 12 years old and continued dog walking/pet sitting for family members/friends/clients until graduating college. My pet sitting has grown over the years and I definitely have grown more in love with it. I have a lot of cat sitting experience as well and have always cared for my grandma’s cats when she needs the extra help. I’m currently only pet sitting part-time. I am available after 5pm Monday to Thursday and after 12pm on Fridays. I’m available all weekends. This can be variable as I will also have days off from work which will allow me to have more availability. I live in a spacious 700 sq ft studio by myself. I also don’t have any pets that live with me. I live in a very dog friendly community with a dog park and large fields of grass perfect for off-leash time. I do also have large windows perfect for bird watching for my meow-er companions :)
About: “Lifetime pet lover with experience caring for my own dog and my current cat. Excited to provide loving and reliable care for your furry friends!” “My schedule is flexible right now, so I’m available pretty much anytime to care for your pet! Morning, afternoon, or evening—I’ll be there whenever you need! I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for pets, trying to ensure they feel at ease with gentle care, attention, and plenty of affection.
“Sophie was very communicate, easy to work with, sent lots of pictures, and seemed to get along well with my two cats. Would definitely book again, she has a real love and care for animals. :)”
“This was our second time having Megan drop in to take care of our cats and we’ll certainly look to her for a third. Her attention to detail, great communication skills, and overall care for our pets is all top notch. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hey! I’m Jess. I’ve lived in 5 different states & just moved back to MD with my doggos, Dug & Bob. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages & sizes since I was a kid. I’m a sucker for rescues, but I love them all the same & treat them like my children. I’ve accepted that I’ll probably always have some dog hair on my clothes and in my car at all times. I’m detail oriented & great at following directions, and know I could handle anything just how you’d prefer. I’ve also had dogs from 20lbs to 120lbs, so I can probably handle any kind of pup you’ve got. Looking forward to meeting all the best boys & girls 🐾 I work remotely full time, so that’s why my schedule is pretty flexible. I don’t have many meetings or calls and keep it pretty low key at my laptop most of the day, so it’s nice to get out for a walk for sure! I live in a pet friendly apartment building with plenty of great walking paths nearby. My dogs, Dug & Bob, are super friendly & chill and typically keep to themselves when it comes to other dogs, but can also sometimes be coaxed to play if your pup is persistent enough 😅 I’m trustworthy, dependable & patient with your doggos! I give them the same love, attention & affection I would my own pups. I respect my clients’ spaces and do not go anywhere I’m not explicitly instructed to go. If you bring your pup to my place, they get all the same couch & bed privileges as my own unless you’d rather them not.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Silver Spring
Larquana was amazing with my fearful cats for drop in visits! My most anxious cat came out for her from the beginning. She sent great updates and photos and communicated any concerns she had immediately. She gave details about how they were eating, playing, etc. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter!
Jason is the absolute best. Not only did he take loving care of our kitties (and provide such cute pics), when I received an alert from DC water that there was water running at our house he went back to the house and turned off the valve to a running toilet.
Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our cats! She was reliable, caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cares about them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We came home to three very content kitties! We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely trust Rachel with them again. Highly recommend! ❤️
Marilyn was a wonderful cat sitter. She was very thorough in making sure she knew where everything was and what needed to be done ahead of time. She came at the scheduled times, fed them per my instructions, and pilled the cat that needed medication. She sent plenty of photos of the kitties and gave me a detailed update of how things were going, and spent plenty of time with them. I really appreciate how wonderful she did taking care of my three kitties. I would not hesitate to have her come again.
Karin took wonderful care of my cats while I was away! She came to my apartment to look after them, played with them, and made sure they always had access to food and fresh water. She also kept me updated on how everything was going and let me know about the little mischievous things my cats got up to while I was gone. What impressed me the most was how quickly my cats warmed up to her. Within just one day, they already seemed comfortable with her and trusted her, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Karin is caring, attentive, and reliable, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets!
Joe took wonderful care of our cat Sunday. He sent so many amazing photos and bonded with our weird cat pretty quickly. He checked in each day with us daily to let us know how our cat was doing. He’s very responsive and very responsible and we really appreciate the fact that we have someone to trust with our cat. Thanks Joe.
Ashley did a great job caring for our cats! The first time she came over to meet our girls, she asked really thoughtful questions about them and their routine. This told me she really cared about what she was doing and our cats were in good hands. She did a great job taking care of our kitty that gets medicine, and was able to adapt when our girl wasn't being super cooperative. We always got lots of cute pictures, and great updates on their Rover cards that made us less homesick. I feel like I can look forward to more trips, knowing that Ashley did such a great job with our fur babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Silver Spring on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,059 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Silver Spring. 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 Silver Spring. 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.
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.
