“We couldn’t have asked for someone better to take care of our kittens for our first time away. Chloe gave such great updates and photos and it is clear how dedicated she is to making sure the cats and owners are comfortable in their time away.”
“Leo is a consummate professional. He showed up for our pre-care meet and greet promptly and listened to all of our instructions and anxieties. During our 12-day trip, he showed up on time and provided excellent care to our cat. He sent a message with each visit telling us how our cat was doing and included multiple photos with each update. We would be thrilled to book Leo again the next time we need someone to drop in on our feline friend.”
“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.”
“Sophie was fantastic with our cat Mimi. We got lots if photos and videos where Sophie was petting and caring for her. And Mimi’s litter and food were well taken care of as well. Would definitely work together again!”
“Landy was great! She was very patient, very attentive to all the instructions I left, and very communicative throughout the process. I felt confident while I was away that my two cats were well looked after. I will definitely retain her services again the next time I travel.”
“Allison did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She would always communicate when she was coming and how my baby was doing. My cat warmed up to her immediately and I totally trust Allison. I will definitely be booking 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.
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.
“Annika was super professional and responsive - I'd book her again for animal care! No issues with anything and it sounds like she has animals of her own that she treats just as well as yours.”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and empathy I have for both cats and their owners. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I treat every cat with the same attention and kindness I would want for my own cat, Lucre. I enjoy spending quality time with each cat, respecting their personality and making sure they feel loved, secure, and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable visits throughout the week. I understand how important consistency is for cats, so I do my best to maintain their usual feeding, cleaning, and play routines. I am committed to providing attentive care and making sure your cat feels comfortable while you are away. Your cat's safety and well-being are my top priorities. During each visit, I make sure food and water are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and the home remains secure. I pay close attention to each cat's behavior and comfort level, and I will keep you updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
“She kind and caring to my cat. She made sure my cat was well taken care of and updated me daily. She was also very flexible about the pick up and drop off time with me, i would highly recommend and definitely go to her again to watch my cat!”
About: I’ve had my own fur and feather babies all my life and taken care of many breeds of dogs, cats, birds (Conures, Lorikeets, Parakeets & Caiques to name a few), And I have been a pet foster home caregiver for over 10 years. I currently walk and board animals in my home, specializing in 1-on-1 care. I have work from home flexibility and I have dedicated hours for spending time with your fur baby if you need pet boarding. I accommodate my schedule to adapt to your pets normal home walking, activity & feeding schedule. Overnight stays include two walks per day, one in the morning and one before bed. Any additional walks are 20$. I provide reliable and loving boarding for cats, dogs, parrots, pocket pets & exotics. I also offer flexible drop off and pickup times. I’m located near Takoma Metro. My home is a low-stress, quiet sanctuary for all pets, especially shy or senior pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, parrots, exotics & pocket pets. I will walk your dog in my neighborhood or to the nearby park. I have a nice yard in which your dog can enjoy fresh air and exercise. I love spending time outdoors while walking dogs! Cats: I am with your cat during the day & set aside play time with them so they can chase ribbons, be rubbed or cuddled. Parrots: I spend quality time with your birds and allow them window space to see the outside world. I only board one animal at a time- unless they are from the same household, ensuring your pet receives quality care. My husband and daughter also assist with the care of your pet. This ensures that they are always cared for and supervised.
“Teffni was amazing! Was super communicative with us while we were gone, sent us pictures and made sure she had all the information about our cat prior to us leaving!”
About: I have cared for pets since I was a child. We've had our own fur babies and also fostered many rescues from the street. I did this especially when we lived in Morocco and Jordan, where many stray animals could be found lost in the streets. Over these years I have learned to understand animals and notice their personality traits and quirks. I love them all! I work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am often also available on short notice. I am willing to keep pets at my home or come to yours. I have a cat but she is very friendly and easy going with dogs. If a dog or cat I am caring for needs some space or if they don't get along I keep my cat upstairs, and put up a baby gate if needed.
About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. I have owned and cared for pets since I was seven years old and worked for the humane society for two years while attending college. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, patience, and a safe environment. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, car rides, and engaging them in playtime activities that keep them happy, active, and mentally stimulated. My experience with a variety of breeds has given me extensive knowledge of different temperaments, behaviors, and care needs. I am gentle, dependable, and committed to ensuring every pet feels comfortable and secure. In addition to caring for my own animals, I have rescued pets and helped provide safe homes for those in need. I am also a dedicated supporter of the humane society because I believe pets truly enrich our lives. Each animal has a unique personality and special way of communicating, and I find great joy in building trusting relationships with them. For me, caring for pets is more than a responsibility—it's a passion and a way of helping save and improve lives. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a working professional, I understand the importance of balancing responsibilities while ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I schedule pet visits, walks, feeding times, and playtime just as I would any other important commitment. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure your pet receives consistent care, companionship, and affection throughout the day. Your pet's well-being will always be a priority in my schedule. A place where tails wag, paws play, and dogs are treated like family! At 3BK Scratch & Play Hut, your furry companion will enjoy all-day play, safe and engaging walks, endless cuddles, affection, and plenty of love. ❤️❤️ We provide a fun, comfortable, and caring environment where every dog receives personalized attention, companionship, and the care they deserve.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Takoma Park
Michael is my favorite pet-sitter that I've hired on Rover. From the very first meet and greet, Michael impressed me as warm, thorough, and completely focused on task. His wonderfully detailed notes on the visits with my girls warmed my heart and put a smile on my face. He went the extra mile to get my skittish Pixie-cat to warm up and play, and documented their play thoroughly. I would recommend him to anyone and happily and enthusiastically hire him to care for my babies in the future.
Danielle did a wonderful job looking after our cat. Our cat seemed to really like Danielle as she usually hides when people come to our house. Danielle sent photos of our cat looking very relaxed and curious. Our cat was fed well and her litter box looked great! Thanks, Danielle.
Highly recommend! Quantairra was flexible with my last-minute booking and provided updates after each visit. My scaredy cat, who normally hides under my bed whenever new people come over, actually came out on the first day, let Quantairra pet her and engaged in some playtime. Honestly, that alone deserves 5 stars!!
Kim was super professional and took great care of our two cats. She was organized, communicative, and spent plenty of time playing with our cats during her daily visits. We got lots of great pictures and detailed updates too! I’d definitely recommend Kim to others.
We were naturally a bit anxious using Rover for the first time after our long-time pet sitters moved away, but Joelle and Andrew completely put our minds at ease! They took care of our three cats—Church, Cherry, and Ebony—for almost a week and were absolutely wonderful. They arrived on time for every visit, kept up with feeding and box maintenance, and made sure to spend quality time playing with each of them. Capturing the hearts of three very different personalities isn't easy, but Joelle and Andrew gave each cat the exact attention and care they needed. We couldn't be happier or more satisfied, and we will definitely be booking them again!
So great to work with Haviland. She was timely with communication and gave the best care and updates of my cats. I felt reassured they were in good hands; they’re also notoriously skittish and finicky and really warmed up to her unlike most cat sitters I’ve had. Definitely highly recommend and can’t wait to have her watch my kitties 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 .
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 , 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 .
