“We can’t recommend Colleen enough! She kindly cared for our elderly pup during a vacation period that saw a storm/blackout/heatwave. Colleen thoughtfully provided updates and ensured our pup was comfortable during this time.”
“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”
“Julie has started drop-ins with my pup, Atlas. Atlas seems really happy with how it’s going and I don’t have to worry about her. Julie always sends photos and lets me know how the visit went.”
“Leo was absolutely amazing with our bunnies! He sent us updates and pictures and was so sweet and respectful of our space. We will definitely be asking for Leo's help in the future!”
“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.”
“Delaney was fantastic. Our cat has asthma and needs and inhaler and a pill twice a day for treatment. He also needs his food set in a timed feeder twice a day so he does not eat too quickly and on top of that he always wants some play time. Delaney did a fantastic job of meeting all his needs while we were gone so he could remain comfortably in his own home. Delaney clearly took care of our pet as if it was her own. I would highly recommend her services.”
“Olivia was extraordinary. Our dogs had some digestive issues while she was taking care of them and she couldn’t have been more loving and caring toward them. She was communicative and accessible the entire time and went beyond my expectations.”
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.
“Megan watched my cat Figs while I was out of town for a week and did a great job! She got my scaredy-cat boy to come out of his shell a bit, adjusted his wet/dry foods to make sure he was eating, and sent photos and reports every day. Excellent sitter!”
“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!”
“Kaitlin did an excellent job watching my pets while I was out of town. I was very nervous about leaving my almost 12-year old blind dog, but Kaitlin had no issues walking her and getting her to take her meds. She was very patient with my cats and even my notoriously shy cat seemed to take a liking to her! I highly recommend hiring Kaitlin for your pet sitting needs!”
“Coralie always goes above and beyond to make sure my cat is cared for. I was out of town for over a week on holiday, and she made it so easy and stress free with her care of my cat! She kept an eye on his skin allergies and made sure he was eating normally, and she even allowed me to FaceTime with him a little bit! I’m pretty sure she’s the most professional and kind pet sitter you could ever find. Thank you so much, Coral!”
“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.”
“Thomas took great care of our kitties. Made sure they had everything they needed and was very good with them. Sent great pictures of them playing, too. Will definitely use him again.”
“Idit always does an amazing job taking care of our cat when we’re out of town. She’s very reliable and responsive, and takes the time to give him plenty of playtime and snuggles!”
“Mia is amazing!! So glad to know her! She is so great to work with and I feel like my cat is in wonderful hands. I hope she is available for my next trip.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Takoma Park
Haviland was great! She was very responsive and accommodating and flexed with some last-minute schedule changes. She did all the little things with my cats, who seemed to like her. She also helped out with some packages that arrived and was very courteous about it even thought they were heavy and soggy from rain. I'd definitely have her cat-sit again! -Zack
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.

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.
