“Chloe was wonderful. Regular updates with photos and messages kept me informed and comfortable knowing Ollie was happy and well-looked after. She engaged him in his favorite activities and spoiled him in my absence with love. Highly recommend!”
“Idit is great! She checked-in on my 2 cats while I was out of town and did a meet and greet beforehand, sent updates/pics each day, and stayed in touch with me to make sure I got home as planned. Even though my cats are timid and hid under the bed most of the time I felt much better having Idit stop by -- will be rebooking!”

About: I have been working with pets in my neighborhood since I was in 7th grade and have gradually gotten more involved and invested as years went on. I volunteer with lucky dog animal rescue as well as different local shelters in my area! I have a passion for animals, especially spicy dogs and shy/anti social cats!! I am currently at home working on rehabilitation with my sister and family after she had a large medical procedure. I have a lot of free time within her schedule and am excited to add in some furry friends! Trust and safety are always important. Communication is very important within both sides.

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.

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.

“Our kitten Mowgli wasn’t getting along with other cats at a previous sitter so we had to last minute change plans and find someone to watch him. Thankfully Miss Sonia was available last minute and very responsive! She made me feel assured and comfortable that he would be in good hands with her and well cared for. And he was! She gave me frequent updates and sent photos during his stay. I’d highly recommend her and her professionalism to others. Thank you, Miss Sonia!!”
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: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special place in my heart for dogs! Most recently I had a 14 year-old terrier mix that I rescued 13years ago. She was my best friend and proof of my passion for giving pets the love they deserve. For nearly a decade, I’ve volunteered as an adoption coordinator with local rescues, helping hundreds of dogs find their furever homes. I also fostered pups in need, providing medicine, care, and plenty of belly rubs while learning to work with all kinds of dog personalities. I’ve even worked part-time at a dog wash, mastering everything from nail clipping to bath-time fun. Plus, I’ve managed DC-area dog walking and pet-sitting services, always ensuring every furry friend is treated like royalty. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet when you’re away, which is why I’ll go above and beyond to make them feel loved and secure—spoiled, even! Need nail trims, mail pickup, or a quick trick lesson for your pup? I’ve got it covered! Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or making sure they feel right at home, I’m here to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. 🐾" Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s taking care of my own 13-year-old terrier or helping other pets feel loved while their owners are away, I prioritize time for walks, feeding, play, and snuggles. My experience managing dog walking and pet-sitting services has taught me how to seamlessly balance pet care with my other responsibilities. Caring for pets brings me joy, so I always make sure they get the attention and care they need to feel happy and comfortable. From administering medications to ensuring plenty of exercise and affection, pet care isn’t just part of my routine—it’s a passion woven into my everyday life! When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment tailored to each pet's needs. I ensure they have their own cozy space, plenty of toys, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. I stick to their usual routines as much as possible to minimize stress, and I make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine by feeding, walking, and playing with them according to their schedule. I’m attentive to their preferences, whether it’s giving medication, providing extra snuggles, or respecting their independent nature. I also keep the home tidy, take care of tasks like bringing in the mail or watering plants, and ensure your pet feels safe and loved until you return. No matter where I’m caring for them, every pet is treated like family!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Takoma Park
Highly recommend Keaton! They are very attentive, communicative, and genuinely care about pets. They took wonderful care of our sick cat, and our cat absolutely adores them—which doesn't happen often with new people, and that really says a lot! We will definitely be using them again in the future. You can trust that your pets will be in great hands with Keaton! ❤
Coral took fantastic care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. It was clear from the meet and greet that she's a seasoned cat sitter, and she shared thorough updates for each drop in visit. We'd be very happy to have her care for our cats in the future and highly recommend her!
We highly recommend Mary for any cat sitting needs! She looked after our two cats under fairly short notice and was very communicative and accommodating to their quirky personalities. We enjoyed her updates and photos while away, and will definitely be booking again!
Kathleen kindly jumped in to help with a drop in last minute. I was very pleased with this first pet sitting experience with her. She communicated well and handled it well when I had technical issues and messed up my own communication. She took lots of pictures of the drop in and things were in a state I’d expect when I got back. I’m very grateful my kitty got some attention and love while I was gone. Thanks!!

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 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 Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
