About: I've taken care of my own animals since I was around 10 years old. I have always been passionate about animal care, behavior, and I am even interested in environmental biology! I have had dogs and cats in my lifetime, and I currently have two fur babies (cats) of my own. I have experience in the following due to my experience(s) with my own animals over the years, as well as caring for friend's animals (such as ferrets, dogs, and cats!): - Administering meds at proper times, as well as updating a med log - Keeping up with litter box, food and water dish, and bedding cleaning - Providing enrichment via puzzle treats, different toys, and spending quality time with your furry friend so they don't feel lonely while you're away! I'm currently taking remote/online courses to further my education, making it easier for me to have plenty of availability to spend with your fuzzy friend! I am most available any time after 11am to be contacted for potential bookings! My own cats have their individual needs/accomodations in their day-to-day lives, especially considering one of my kitties is a senior cat himself. They each get their own morning medications as well as weekly nail trims, ear cleanings twice a week (as they both have very waxy ears), and brushes regularly as well. My two boys are quite picky with their litter, so they get pine pellet litter which is changed regularly. My pets are my family, I want them to live healthy lives full of love, and I understand the feeling is the same for fellow pet parents. I aim to help your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and loved during the time spent with them just as much as I do with my own kitties at home!

“Watching our kitties for the 2nd time! Nia continues to be a great sitter for us. I really appreciate her detailed check-ins (more questions is better than winging it), and pix and videos. Cats are happy, even if one of them tends to hide when we're not home :)”

About: I have 13 years of pet experience. I love fitness- so I love playfully engaging with furry friends! Also, I was a vet tech in high school, therefore, I am very knowledgeable on their demeanor and evolving needs. I do not accept dog walks that occur past sunset for safety reasons. Currently, I work remotely before starting school- so I’m always home and attentive to your pet’s needs. Unless specified otherwise, I am free during the week and some weekends. I’ve very intuitive to pets needs and cater to their personalities. Because I took vet tech in high school, I have vast experience with pets outside of dogs as well.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a kid and I love all animals as if they were my own. I have experience caring for a variety of different pets, whether sick, injured or senior. I always show gratitude and quality care towards all pets and pet lovers in appreciation to their lives and to the homes we provide for our little loved ones. I currently work part time, therefore I have plenty of time to care for your pet and their individual needs. I am typically available during the long weekends, where you will be able to take time away from your pet assured that they will be in a loving, patient and caring environment. I have a big yard and a very nice community with trails that I can take your pet on long and adventurous walks. I give pets all the love and attention they could ask for and I respect and appreciate them as well. The safety and well being of your pet is my utmost priority.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes since I was seven, providing walks, baths, playtime, feedings, and basic training sessions. My deep compassion and commitment to animals’ well-being sets me apart. I tailor my care to each pup’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether offering patience to a nervous dog, engaging an energetic pup, or providing comfort to a senior pet, I always prioritize their safety and happiness. I understand how important trust is for pet parents, so I treat every dog as if they were my own—with love, kindness, and reliability. I prioritize trust, comfort, and, most importantly, safety when caring for pets. I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously and pay close attention to the little details that help each animal feel secure and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and preferences, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable rather than forcing interaction. I carefully follow household and care instructions and make sure their environment stays clean and secure. Beyond meeting their basic needs, I want every pet in my care to genuinely enjoy their time with me. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, ensuring they feel secure and at ease in my care. For boarding, dogs will have access to designated sleeping areas equipped with ample blankets, stuffed toys, fresh water, and a nighttime treat to help them settle in comfortably. They will also enjoy designated play areas both indoors and outdoors, along with access to nature trails for scheduled walks. There are also dedicated areas for sunbathing and shaded spots for relaxation. For daycare, all amenities are available except for a nighttime sleeping area, ensuring a stimulating and enriching experience throughout the day. Dogs will have space for exercise, play, nap time, and entertainment, with a designated bath area available in case of emergencies. I am located near a quiet, hidden park and a dog park, allowing for safe and enjoyable outings. Additionally, my setup provides enough space to prevent overcrowding, ensuring each dog receives individualized attention and care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!

About: Since growing up at a young age, I’ve always had a pet by my side and now that I love daily unconditionally. If there is one thing I can teach them is to get along with others animals as well as people. My patience and understanding will keep them thriving and healthy. I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.

About: I'm new to professional dog walking and eager to grow my experience. I've regularly walked my grandmother's dog, and I love being outdoors with animals. I'm reliable, patient, and will treat your dog with the same care I'd give my own family's pet. I'm happy to follow your routines and send updates along the way. I'm currently in school pursuing my master's degree. At the moment, I'm available on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM for walks, and I'm available from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon for house sitting. I only provide care at my client's home, not my own, so your pet stays in their familiar environment, which I find reduces stress for most animals. When I'm in your home for walks or house sitting, I follow your established routine for feeding, playtime, and walks as closely as possible. I keep a close eye on your pet's behavior and comfort throughout, make sure doors and gates are secure, and send updates or photos so you can check in. I treat your home and your pet with the same respect and attention I'd want if the roles were reversed.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. As a dog and cat parent myself, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with a wider range of pet owners and ensure clear understanding of your pet's needs and care instructions. My goal is to give your pets the same care, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work during the week, but I’m available in the evenings after 6pm for dog walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can offer boarding and extended care. Because I have a set work schedule, I’m able to plan ahead and make sure every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals, so pet care is something I genuinely look forward to. When your pet stays in my home, they’ll have plenty of space to relax, play, and move around comfortably. I have a friendly Labradoodle and a cat who have their own separate areas of the home, so your pet can have some company if they’re comfortable around other animals. I always respect each pet’s personality and your preferences, and I’m happy to keep pets separated or crated if that’s what makes them feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and welcoming home where every pet can feel comfortable while they’re away from their family.

“I had a great experience with Ademide. She agreed to cat-sit on short notice and looked after my Luna for a whole week and some days. Our communication was smooth and reassuring and I received timely updates, cute videos and photos that showed my cat was comfortable and happy. My cat seemed relaxed and well looked after when I returned. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”

Amoy took great care of my cat Penny while I was away for Thanksgiving break. When my return flight was unexpectedly cancelled, she was incredibly flexible with additional last-minute visits, which was a huge relief. Penny is a senior cat with acid reflux issues, and Amoy handled cleaning up after her when she had flare-ups. I also really appreciated that her daughter spent time playing with Penny. She gets lonely when she’s by herself, so the extra attention meant a lot.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Upper Marlboro

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Upper Marlboro is $37 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $46 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,305 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Upper Marlboro. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Upper Marlboro. On Rover:

  • 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

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.
