“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!”
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve spent a lot of time caring for pets belonging to friends and people in my life. I regularly help care for my friends’ dogs by spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they’re comfortable and safe. I also cared for a friend’s cat for about two years while they were away at college, making sure the cat was fed, had clean water, and received attention and care. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m patient, responsible, and committed to making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When it comes to house sitting, I’m naturally a calm and home oriented person who enjoys spending time in a quiet environment. I tend to stay in one place for long periods of time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and supervision while also keeping the home secure. I’m also someone who likes things to stay organized and clean, so I’m very mindful about respecting a client’s space and making sure everything remains in order while they’re away. My goal is always to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets in my care. Since I’m able to adjust my routine, I can visit or stay at your home as needed to make sure your pets are comfortable, fed, and cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and relaxed. I respect each client’s space and routine, making sure pets are fed on schedule, litter boxes or outdoor needs are handled, and everything stays clean and organized while you’re away.
“Landy did such a great job with our cat, she always made sure to take plenty of photos, and it was clear our normally shy cat really liked Landy! We would absolutely use Landy again!”
“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”
“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.”
“Coralie was an amazing sitter! She gave my baby so much love while I was gone, but also is well versed in cat behavior so knew to slow down playtime when my baby was getting overstimulated. I couldn’t get enough of my daily updates from her - great pictures and funny comment cards! I came back to a clean home and a very pleased cat. I look forward to booking Coralie again!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“Steve, thank you so much!! That’s a great walk route you guys took! I am honestly relieved that we made a wonderful connection with you. Thank you for making sure Shelley’s safe, secured and comfortable. THANK YOU!!!”
“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.”
“I can't say enough good things about Idit! I hate to leave our cats, but I feel so much better knowing that she is checking in and playing with them! I can tell from the photos that even our super shy kitty was excited to see her!”
“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our cats! She was reliable, caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cares about them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We came home to three very content kitties! We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely trust Rachel with them again. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Angela is a wonderful cat sitter! Our cat was well-cared for and content. Angela kept us updated throughout and with pictures. This is the second time Angela has cared for our cat and she is extremely reliable and trustworthy. I recommend her highly!”
“Sophie was amazing with my two cats! Both are rescues with their own unique quirks, and Sophie took it all in stride and provided incredible care. She communicated clearly and often, so I was never worried. Highly recommend!”
“Delaney took care of our cat while we were on a trip for a few days. She was very responsive and clear in her communication, and our food-motivated cat was happy, and healthy. We hope we will be able to call on her again in the future.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Takoma Park
This was my first visit with Heidi and she was very communicative about the cats’ medicines, food and playfulness during her visit adapting each time with anything I forgot to mention during our first introduction visit. Great experience, would definitely recommend.
Jason is the absolute best. Not only did he take loving care of our kitties (and provide such cute pics), when I received an alert from DC water that there was water running at our house he went back to the house and turned off the valve to a running toilet.
Idit is a great cat sitter - she takes her time with my cat and plays with her at my cat’s own speed (Freyja can be fickle in which toys she likes to play with.). She was very attentive to her and was sure to give her lots of pets. She’s very nice and easy to work with, and definitely open to listening to any pet concerns or things to watch out for while you’re away.
Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our cats! She was reliable, caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cares about them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We came home to three very content kitties! We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely trust Rachel with them again. Highly recommend! ❤️
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.
Mahira is amazing! Extremely attentive and communicative sitter. We were out of town for two weeks and she was extremely helpful and friendly for the entire time we were gone, and very accommodating when needed. Thank you Mahira! Hope to see you again soon :]
We highly recommend Sarah! She did daily drop-in visits to care for our cat for two weeks. Her care and attention were top-notch. She sent daily updates to share how our cat was doing. Sarah went above and beyond, collecting our mail and watering plants. Not only was our cat in excellent hands but it was nice having the peace of mind that someone as diligent and attentive as Sarah was keeping an eye out while we were out of town. Thanks a million, Sarah!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
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.

As of September 2026, there are 8,041 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Takoma Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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

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.
