“Karrah came for in-home visits to feed and look after our two kitties. She was absolutely fantastic with them, so much so that the one that always hides under the bed the entire time we're gone even came out to socialize. She sent us daily updates with photos and even tidied up when they got litter all over the place. The kitties were so content they barely noticed we were back. I can't recommend Karrah enough!”
“Maura took great care of my fur baby and provided plenty of pictures throughout their time together. Layla is very shy but Maura was able to get her to warm up to her! Thank you again”
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.
“Drew is a fantastic sitter! We have used him before for drop-ins and he provided such great care that we booked him again for our most recent vacation. Yet again, he provided above and beyond for our cats. I very highly recommend him!”
“I want to share my recent experience with Valeria, who looked after Mr. Lucian, my Bengal cat, while I was away in Colorado. Although Mr. Lucian can get a bit anxious when he's not at home, Valeria sent me regular photos that showed that he settled in beautifully under her care. Valeria is a wonderful communicator and punctual when it came to picking up and dropping Mr. Lucian—a real life saver for someone with a busy schedule like mine. Valeria’s genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially cats in my case, really comes through. Her attention to detail and warmth made me feel confident that Mr. Lucian was in good hands. I will definitely reach out to Valeria first for any future pet-sitting needs, and I highly recommend you consider doing the same.”
“We rely on Jared for walking our dogs and also for dropping in on our cats when we travel. He stays the whole time and plays with them in addition to feeding them and cleaning their litter boxes. All our pets like Jared.”
“Sandi saved us last minute over the Thanksgiving holidays, was very professional and reliable. She definitely has a way around animals, and gave us, beginner cat parents, a couple very helpful tips, too.”
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.
“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!!”
“Landy did an absolutely fabulous job with Charlie Tuna - she gave him lots of cuddles and was super communicative throughout. Would definitely want Landy to catsit again!”
About: When I was younger, I took care of my family's many cats and leapt at any opportunity to walk and play with friends' dogs. As a adult, I'm dedicated pet "parent" who would do anything to ensure my cats are happy and healthy. They're as important to me - and I love them as much - as any person. At the same time, one of my favorite things about my neighborhood is that I've had big, adorable dogs living on either side of me that I can shower with affection. Just seeing them makes me smile! Cats in my home and friendly dogs next door...I couldn't really ask for much more! Like a lot of people in the DC area, my current schedule has a lot of flexibility...plenty of time to take care of your pets! My default is to care for other people's pets as if they're mine. If I'm taking care of your dogs or cats, you can be sure I'll take that responsibility very, very seriously.
“We booked Quantairra pretty last minute before a trip. She came the next day to meet us and our cat, Cash. She was attentive and we felt good about leaving Cash in her hands! Quantairra sent us photos and a helpful report in each Rover report, which we really appreciated, and Cash was doing great when we got back. She also cleaned up a couple messes for us which we really appreciate. Thanks Quantairra!”
“Julie watched my two cats while I was on vacation. Julie is absolutely amazing and extremely caring. She followed every direction I gave her and was just the sweetest pet sitter I have had the pleasure of knowing. Upon returning home, Julie left my house cleaner than how I left it. My two cats seriously miss her already! If you are looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who truly cares about your animals, look no further! Hire Julie! She is an absolute star and I will 1000% be requesting her services in the future. I am so happy to have found such an amazing sitter. Thank you Julie for your kind heart.”
About: Hi! I'm Kimberly, a lifelong animal lover with experience in caring for dogs, cats, and small mammals such as guinea pigs, rabbits, domestic rats, and hamsters. Whether you're heading out for a weekend or an extended vacation, I offer personalized, attentive care to keep your pets safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm trustworthy, detail-oriented, and flexible to your pet's needs - from energetic pups to mellow seniors. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to give you total peace of mind while you're away. I volunteer with the Humane Rescue Alliance, Brandywine Valley SPCA in DC, Friends of Rabbits, and Montgomery County Animal Services and Adoption Center. I've received training in dog walking, cat socialization and care, small mammals training and care, and received a certificate of completion for Fear Free Shelters with a focus on cat and dog behaviors and strategies to reduce stress. Also, I received bottle baby feeding and kitten care training through National Kitten College. I am available Tuesday-Thursday and Sundays for dog walking, some occasional house sitting, and drop-in visits for cats, dogs, and exotic pets such as guinea pigs, rabbits, and hamsters. I will care for your pet(s) through dog walking, drop-in visits, and some occasional house-sitting services. I'll make sure to keep your fur baby safe in your home or while taking walks in the neighborhood.
“Aliyah went above and beyond in taking care of my cats. My youngest fur baby instantly warmed up to her, which is quite rare! Aliyah sent me lots of photos while I was away, easing my separation anxiety. Being away from my cats is never easy, but knowing they were in such great care with Aliyah made it so much better.”
“Anthony was a phenomenal dog sitter. We needed a reservation with little notice because another sitter backed out on us, and he made sure to make it work, and even came to meet the dogs prior to the first pop in visit. He took care of our dogs' needs in every way we could expect. He kept us informed with any questions or needs. Honestly, he is the best sitter that we have ever had on Rover, and we truly hope that we can book him again in the future! 6/5 stars hands down!”
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and cat-sitting for different clients. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to give pets the attention and affection they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around pet care visits. I'm happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their pets' routines and make sure they receive reliable, attentive care. I prioritize each dog's safety and comfort during every walk. I follow the owner's instructions, keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, and make sure they have access to water and breaks when needed. I treat every dog with patience and care, and I provide updates to owners so they know their pets are in good hands.
“Lilla did an amazing job taking care of my cats. she sent lots of photos and detailed visit summaries, and even replaced my feeder ball that had broken while I was out of town. I definitely recommend her!”

Mary is absolutely wonderful! I know that my cat Athena is in the best hands when under her care. Mary is always responsive, provides thorough updates, and snaps adorable photos. She has a repeat customer here and I would absolutely recommend her to care for other’s pets!!
Coral took fantastic care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. It was clear from the meet and greet that she's a seasoned cat sitter, and she shared thorough updates for each drop in visit. We'd be very happy to have her care for our cats in the future and highly recommend her!
Karen did an excellent job taking care of Chester and Kate. She spent time brushing, petting and playing with them. We enjoyed seeing Karen's daily updates and photos. In addition to taking great care of our kitties, Karen took packages for us. Thank you for all of your great work and support! Job well done!
Joe is amazing! My old kitty warmed up to him and connected to him right away. He definitely speaks animals! He was able to get my kitty his inhaler every day while we were gone, and I know that has been challenging with previous sitters. He was very patient and kind with my cat and gave great updates. 10/10 recommend Joe to care for your furbabies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Silver Spring is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,468 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 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 Meet & Greet.

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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
