“Lynleigh was amazing. She consistently updated me of every little detail. Adjusted to the schedule I required and followed all my instructions for my cat's care. My little one is notorious for knocking plants when she's mad at me for being away and Lynleigh took care of that mess as well. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone that requires.”
“Michael did a great job taking care of my cat and foster cat while I was away. He is good about communication and asking questions to make sure he is getting it right. Would recommend him happily to others as a dependable cat sitter.”
“Kaitlin goes above and beyond showing your animal love while you are away. Her promptness in booking response and communication is a plus! Highly recommend.”
“Yet another wonderful experience with Coralie! She took immaculate care of my cat and gave me all the peace of mind I needed during the trip. Photos and videos from everyday and prompt responses. Can’t ask for anything better !”
“Maura met all of my pets needs while I was out of town for a week. She was easy to communicate with and spent time with our cats each visit. I knew our cats were in good hands and appreciated her pictures with them. I will definitely be checking with Maura the next time I need a cat sitter!”
“Virginia took excellent care of Louis while we were out of town for 10 days. We were so happy to come back to a healthy happy cat and clean house - he had no accidents! Virginia went above and beyond to care for him and make sure everything was in order. Would definitely rebook!”
“Took great care of my kitty cat, and sent excellent pictures too! Understood that cats have their own rules, and cats that could be considered "mean" just need a little space and respect. Would hire again.”
“Karrah was GREAT! She went above and beyond with my kitty. I’ve never left her home alone for this long (2 weeks), but Karrah reassured me and let me know my fur-baby was doing ok and quickly became kitty’s spare human. I’ve always said “choose your people by how quickly your animals accept them.” Kitty took to her right away. Thank you Karrah! You will be my first go-to in the future!”
“Kim is amazing! She is so good with our little dude, great at play and understanding his signals, so reliable and very communicative. We were very at ease knowing our little dude was so well taken care of while we were gone.”
“Jonathan has watched my two cats twice now! He is the best. Always sends pictures and leaves the house nice and tidy. I appreciate Jonathan so much and definitely recommend him!”
“Megan’s done a fantastic job watching my cat Basil for a couple weekends while I’ve been away! She sends detailed updates and photos, is a superb communicator, and makes sure everything is tidy. Basil has always seemed very happy upon my return when Megan’s been watching him!”
“Leo was great with Hemingway and adapted well to his special needs (inhaler). He was punctual and communicative and I would definitely use him again!”
“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.”
“Izcali did an amazing job checking in on my two kitties while I was away!! Every day she sent amazing photos and she made sure they were well taken care of :) she played with them every day and when we came home the cats were healthy and happy. I had such peace of mind leaving the cats in Izcali’s care and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter”
“Allison was a wonderful cat sitter! She was so communicative, kind, and great with my cat! From all the photos and reports she sent while she was catsitting, I could tell that my cat was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again or recommend her to other pet owners!”
“Annika was very easy to work with and took great care of our cat Jerome. She helped us out on short notice and we really appreciated all the photos she sent of our cat while we were away.”
“Sharmily did her usual great job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. She sends regular updates with lots of pictures. She is our ‘go to’ sitter and we’ll definitely book her for future trips.”
“Joe took wonderful care of our cat Sunday. He sent so many amazing photos and bonded with our weird cat pretty quickly. He checked in each day with us daily to let us know how our cat was doing. He’s very responsive and very responsible and we really appreciate the fact that we have someone to trust with our cat. Thanks Joe.”

Maura met all of my pets needs while I was out of town for a week. She was easy to communicate with and spent time with our cats each visit. I knew our cats were in good hands and appreciated her pictures with them. I will definitely be checking with Maura the next time I need a cat sitter!
Haviland took great care of my three cats. I booked on short notice, and have three cats with very different temperaments. Haviland cared for each of them as they needed to be cared for, took fantastic photos, and followed all my instructions. I will definitely be using them again!
Kathleen was my daytime pet sitter when I was out of town and she was AMAZING - I cannot recommend her enough!! She took fantastic care of my senior dog and cat, was super professional, punctual, and warm, and sent me adorable photos of my pets every time she checked in on them. She is a very reliable and excellent pet sitter and I will 100% be requesting her assistance again in the future!!
Coralie went above and beyond by making sure that I felt safe and secure entrusting her with my two cat babies during my time away. The photos and extra steps she took to make sure all was well with my cats make me feel confident that I chose the right person for this huge task. I highly recommend Coralie for those who are seeking a cat sitter that wants their cats treated with care and attention to detail.
We’ve used them three times now to watch Paul and Paisley, and they have been wonderful every single time! I always feel comfortable knowing the cats are in good hands while we’re away. They’re reliable, attentive, and clearly care about the animals they’re watching. We already have a few more visits booked and will definitely continue using them! Highly recommend!
Jason did a nice job pet sitting my three cats while I was on vacation. He handled the many litter boxes every day and took great care of all three of my cats. He also went above and beyond helping with the stray cat I feed. I would recommend Jason and would be happy to have him care for my cats again!
We needed to find another sitter for our 2 cats, both have minor health issues and one is a senior. We were in a pinch but met Zach a few days before our 10 day trip overseas and couldn’t be happier with the care he took of Pete and Milo and of our home too! His drop-ins were always timely and the reports and photos great! We also appreciated the playtime he gave to our very active kitty and his gentle handling out our older shy kitty. We look forward to working with Zach again!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Takoma Park on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 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 .

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Takoma Park. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
