“Samantha was 10/10 as always. My cat truly loves her so we can go on vacation feeling a bit less guilty! The beautiful photos she sent us daily made a huge difference in our trip.”
“Watching my cat clan is basically a full-time job, so I’m impressed! 😂 Alexis handled all of their different personalities, attitudes, and general cat chaos like a pro. I got updates, everyone was happy and well cared for, and my house was still standing when I got back — a win all around! I would absolutely book again and definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“This was the 2nd time booking with Lauren and I would recommend her 100%! She was very dependable and took excellent care of my very senior cat. She took the time to crush her everyday which she loves and she looked great when we got home!”
About: Throughout my life I have always had either a cat or dog as pets and have always enjoyed taking care of them. As a dog owner myself, I have a deep appreciation and respect for all breeds which allows me to really bond with them. My patient manner allows them to become comfortable with me very quickly and really provides for a better experience for both myself and the pet being looked after. I have taken care of many different types of breeds and sizes which allows me the knowledge of taking great care of them so you have the peace of mind that your baby is well loved and cared for while away. From puppies to seniors, I am able to handle them all. I am also not shy to dietary restrictions and specific instructions you may have. Hi, I'm Hannah I'm a Frederick local and lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they're my own. A little about me: · Proud Frederick local — I know and love this community. · Pet parent to a Boxer-Border Collie mix, so I'm no stranger to energy, smarts, and big personalities · Animal lover through and through — I've never met a pet I didn't adore. Why book with me: · Trustworthy — you can count on me to be reliable and honest · Responsible — I take your pet's routine, safety, and happiness seriously · Friendly — I'll make sure you and your pet both feel comfortable and cared for · Respectful — of your home, your pet's needs, and your instructions My promise: Your animals will be treated like my own — with love, patience, and plenty of attention. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine, so your pets get consistent, reliable attention. I'm up early every morning — no sleeping in around here. My own dog is usually the reason, and I wouldn't have it any other way. That early start means morning walks, feedings, and drop-in visits are easy for me to work into my day. I'm currently in between jobs and heading back to school, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of open time during the day. Pet care is a great fit for this season of my life — it works around my classes, and it gives me something I genuinely enjoy doing with my time. I'm married, and together we share our home with our own dog — a Boxer-Border Collie mix. We're also hoping to add another dog to the family soon, so I understand the excitement and the responsibility that comes with a full house of animals. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening visit, I have the time, the flexibility, and the heart for it. Your pets will get the same care, attention, and routine I give my own. I have a fenced in backyard, walking trails, and plenty of space in my home to host your furry friends. Security system is also active and I am home throughout the day.
“Keri took excellent care of our kitties! She was communicative with us and sent tons of photos. The kitties all warmed up to her in no time at all. Keri looked after each cats unique needs and personalities. I felt reassured that they were in her care while we were away!”
About: I have two dogs of my own and I would be delighted to take care of your cat or dog as if it were my own! When I was 15, I used to pet sit therapy dogs which provided me with a great deal of experience working with different breeds and personalities. As a current college student, I believe that getting to know your pet would be the best reward! I am excited to work with you and your furry baby. I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. As my schedule can vary slightly from week to week, so will my availability. If I know your needs ahead of time, I can often build my schedule around you and your pet. I will take care of your pets with all my heart, giving them all the love they deserve and more. While in your home, I will ensure that everything is kept in tip-top shape, cleaning up after your pet in every way necessary. I am comfortable administering medications if you provide instructions and following specific feeding routines and schedules. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I will make it happen! There will be lots of playtime and snuggles too.
About: I used to work for a pet care company called Pet and Home Care. I was a traveling pet care agent for them and I am trained to take care of all kinds of pets. I even took classes through them on what to do if a pet has a medical emergency. I grew up around animals and have a deep love for them and I’m excited to work with your pets :) I’m currently a part time student at FCC and I’m looking for extra work. I have time everyday for visits. I have open availability all day Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday I give fresh water and treats every visit (if treats are allowed). Plenty of pets and attention. I can administer medication and follow special dietary plans. I have a leash belt I use when walking dogs that keeps the dog hooked to me for extra control and ensures they can’t pull the leash out of my hand.
“Thank you so much for your help tonight and letting me have a night out. I will definitely use your services in the future! Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! :)”
“Thank you Raven for taking such great care of our sweet cat Emmie and our home! Highly recommend Raven. She is friendly, reliable, will love your pets and go above and beyond. We are repeat customers for drop-in visits and know that we can trust Raven to keep our home safe and our pets loved and cared for. Thanks Raven!”

“Shen-Huan was excellent! She gave Squeaky lots of attention, fed him his favorite food, and got him several new toys. He was not lonely during his stay with her! She clearly loves cats and the work she does. I will recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter, and will definitely use her again!”
About: I love pets, and a great walk. I just lost my pup recently so I think this would help. I have a genuine heart, time and patience for your pets. I have taken a pet through general puppy training, and I have also administered shots for an ill pup. I own 2 cats so I love a feline as well. ❤️ About me, I am easy going, trustworthy, caring and kind. I am very detail oriented and observant which I believe are key traits in caring for pets. And I’ll bring the treats! I’m very flexible currently, name the time and I can put on my schedule. I am in easy to work with, and will be on time I care for my pets as if they are kids. They have the bed, treats, food and all the snuggles they need. I did have a pet with diabetes and so I can do shots if necessary
“Justine was absolutely wonderful. My cat is very shy, and usually hides from Catsitters and other people she doesn’t know. She did not hide from Justine, which I see as a major good sign. Justine also made a game with my cat of hiding the treats I said to give her so my cat could find them, which helped keep my cat entertained. I would absolutely hire Justine to watch my cat again!”

Samantha H. does a fantastic job taking care of my elderly fur babies. Samantha is on time, gentle, efficient, attentive, and thorough. I am so happy and comfortable leaving the cats with Samantha to watch over them. Kudos, two thumbs up & applause for Samantha!
We had a wonderful experience with Elizabeth! She was incredibly communicative, always on time, and left everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, she took excellent care of our kitties and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring cat sitter!
Ariana took care of our 17 year old cat for over 3 weeks while we were away. We are relatively new to this area and were a little reluctant to let someone we didn't know visit our house and take care of our cat. We feel very lucky for finding Ariana. She did a wonderful job taking care of Dashy and communicating with us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter.
Haley took wonderful care of our two kitties, Miami and Virginia, through drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly caring, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Haley, for taking great care of them. We would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to work with her 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 .

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.

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.
