About: Hi! I've had dogs my entire life and have plenty of experience walking and caring for pets. I'm also comfortable caring for cats and will treat your pets with the same love and attention I'd give my own. You can count on me to provide reliable, compassionate care while you're away. I currently work full time, with the flexibility of working from home three days a week. I'm available to care for your pets in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends, and I have additional availability on my work-from-home days to provide extra attention and care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll follow your care instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and affection, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I’ve been caring for my cat Angel since she was 4 months old, and I’ve spent the past 3 years learning how to provide love, patience, attention, and proper care for a pet’s needs. I understand that every animal has their own personality and deserves to feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part-time at Safeway, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m able to provide care before or after my shifts, as well as on my days off. I already have experience caring for my own cat, Angel, who I’ve had since she was 4 months old for the past 3 years. I’m used to maintaining a routine with feeding, cleaning, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they feel relaxed and cared for. I make sure they have fresh food and water, follow their normal routines, provide playtime and attention, and keep their space clean. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to be patient and learn what makes each pet feel comfortable. From my experience caring for my cat Angel for the past 3 years, I know how important consistency, affection, and responsibility are when caring for animals.
“Kaitlin was awesome! This is the first time ever we have left our two dogs and didn’t suffer with anxiety! She showed up when scheduled, took great care of them and sent photos. Very grateful to have found her and hope to use her in the future!”
“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 have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other small animals! I love all animals and will take care of your fur babies like my own! I’m a teacher and work M-F during the school year and am available for overnight stays, before school, or after school. In the summer I am available throughout the day. I am available for overnight stays as requested. I am happy to feed, water, scoop, play, and snuggle with your kitties as much or as little as you prefer.
About: I am a scientist with two little Cavalier King Charles Spaniels of my own, Maggie and Callie. We love walking and hanging out with other dogs. With two little dogs of my own, we are outside at least three times a day for walks, potty time, or car rides with the top down. We live in the city with lots of parks and sidewalks. Great for pups of any age. Feel free to leave any instructions on what your pup needs and we will follow them.
“We could not have been more pleased with Leo our sitter from Rover. From the start he ahead a great relationship with Bella. I loved the notes and comments on each visit. I felt really comfortable leaving him to care for Bella. I would definitely use him again.”
“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!”
“Chloe was wonderful to my two kitties, making sure to spend time with them alongside feeding/litter help along the way. I really appreciated her daily updates and getting plenty of pics of my babies! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the NW DC area”
“Jason dropped in to check in on my 2 dogs over the last weekend while I was out at a seminar. He was very punctual, followed directions, communicative, and my pups seemed very happy when I came home later in the day. Looking forward to Jason staying with my pups during my upcoming trip.”
“Landy was a wonderful pet sitter! She was so attentive to every detail when she stopped by before her first visit, and my cat was instantly drawn to her. She also provided excellent feedback and updates while I was away, and she left everything in tip-top shape for my return. I will definitely invite her back when I go away again!”
“Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!”
“Sophie is great with my somewhat shy cat, which definitely puts my mind at ease while traveling! Ripley had a good safe, healthy weekend with Sophie (including antibiotic pills!!)”
About: Jordyn has 5 years of experience in pet care. Her passion began at home, where she has 4 dogs and 1 cat. She found a way to turn her love for animals into a local service, and she can’t wait to share that love with your pets! I am currently a college student with a busy life, but I am able to be relatively flexible with days and hours needed for care. I can provide care in any way you need. Feeding and watering, taking them outside, playing with them, and any thing else your dog enjoys or needs. I am able and willing to care for multiple pets.

Brianna was amazing! Meet and greet beforehand was easy, and my cat loved her. She provided daily updates, which gave me peace of mind when I was away. She’s reliable, communicative, and definitely took good care of my cat. I highly recommend Brianna and will book again.
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!
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.
Karrah was wonderful! She took great care of our cats while we were away and sent us regular updates and photos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. It was clear they were in good hands, and we came home to happy cats. We would definitely recommend Karrah and would be very happy to have her watch 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 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.

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.
