“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!”
“Lo did a great job taking care of our geriatric zoo - above and beyond in a snow storm, 3 different medication regimens, and ensuring our fur babies were happy and well cared for.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I’ve had all kinds of animals, from tiny dogs to big dogs, from social cats to the prickly don’t get too close to me types! I absolutely love animals and have been a vegetarian for 8 years. I currently have two dogs of my own, and often take care of my family’s senior dog (going strong at 16 due to the loving care!) I love going on long walks as well. I’m currently on summer break from teaching so I have a lot of free time on my hands to care for your furry or scaly friends and family! When the school year begins late August my schedule will be more limited to evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I’ll always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules. I understand that every pet is different; some love attention, while others need space—and I’ll respect what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and cared for until you return. I am also okay with crating if need be!
About: I have always loved animals. I treat all animals just like a family members. I enjoyed witnessing their personalities and making sure they are comfortable. I am currently a nursing student and have a somewhat busy schedule however I am always open to finding extra time to give amazing care to your pets. Please reach out to me about same day visits if I am able I would still love to accommodate and accept them! I always look for signs of when pets need a bathroom break or if they are in distress, I want to give them all the attention they require.
“Juna continues to take fantastic care of my hound mix! My dog is always happy to see Juna, and I can tell from her consistent communication and her lovely walking/drop-in photos that my dog continues to enjoy Juna's care and company throughout each booking. Juna has proven to be capable and resourceful throughout all of her visits with my dog, and I'm confident she would be the same with yours, too!”
“Alyssa was so kind and communicative! She was so caring and respectful to my cat and gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling for the week. I'm endlessly grateful and can't recommend her enough to other cat owners!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and birds. For the past three years I’ve mostly been house-sitting/taking care of a good neighbor/friends bird who I love dearly. I’ve put her to bed and cleaned her cage along with fed her while sitting with her for 3+ hours most days. I’ve learned to take care of pets as if they are my own and love all animals. :)) I’m an active student at the Catholic university of America and not working so I have a good amount of free time to house sit and or take care of the family pets! When it comes to taking care of another’s home and pet I’ve always been good at cleaning after the animal and myself while keeping the environment warm and cozy. :))
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.
“Jason was wonderful. He was communicative, went above and beyond (like offering to pick up more food when I miscounted and didn't leave enough cans of food), and was generally lovely to correspond with. Me and my cats wholeheartedly endorse!”
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.
“Angela was so helpful and communicative with our cats! We have three cats, and they are all very different. One cat does not like strangers at all, and Angela respected her space but also sent a picture every day so we knew she was alright. The other two love attention (one takes some warming up), and Angela caught onto their personalities right away. We absolutely recommend Angela!”
About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and frequently volunteered with my local Humane Society. After college I worked with Rover for a few years doing various dogsitting jobs with all kinds of pups. I also became a cat mom myself and love them! As a mom to a human toddler, I’m very patient and caring towards all animals and take my responsibilities seriously. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and my husband has a flexible schedule, so I’m pretty open and easy to work with! Afternoons and evenings are probably easiest. I’m very attentive and responsible and can adapt to whatever setup you have- small apartment, fenced yard, etc. I’m very comfortable taking pets out on walks or crating them inside if needed.
“Joshgun is extremely professional, I would definitely recommend him! He was punctual, kind, communicative and flexible. Our cat felt happy and safe with him :) looking forward to working with him again!”
“Leo was super communicative, pro active, and sent lots of photos of our pup and cats while we were away for the weekend. It was our first time having Leo and he was super understanding of our rescue and reactive dog during the long walks. Thank you so much Leo!!”
“Giovanna was amazing!! Drako loved being visited by her, she was very communicative with us and made sure we got pictures and updates on a visit baisis! We felt so happy and comfortable that our dog was being taken care by her! Definitely would recommend her with anyone that needs his/her dog taking care of! We would definitely will be thinking of her if we need someone to take care of our dog! Thanks Giovanna!!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Silver Spring
Larquana went above and beyond to take care of our cat on short notice. She handled a detailed medicine regimen with ease, sent thorough updates with lots of pictures, and showed genuine care and affection for our pet. She is an absolute pro, and we look forward to working with her again.
Nichole was wonderful with our cats and cockatiels! She sent us photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets warmed up to her surprisingly quickly, and it was clear they were well cared for. We will definitely be booking Nichole again for our future trips. Highly recommend!
Katie is fantastic! She was an excellent care giver when a crisis arose. Mcat passed away in her care due to underlying conditions none of us knew about. Her quick response to get him to the er vet and contact my emergency contacts was amazing. I was out of reach at the time due to timezone differences. She did a great job handling such a difficult situation. I absolutely would hire her again.

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Silver Spring on Rover is $25.53 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 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 July 2026, there are 7,996 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.

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.
