“Brianne was amazing with my cat Goose. She kept me updated and followed his feeding instructions perfectly. She played with him and kept him company and he was a happy boy when I got home. Couldn’t ask for better.”
“Kyrstin was absolutely wonderful! She was super communicative and cared for my two Siamese boys in exactly the way they needed. I loved all the messages and pictures she sent during her visit. She even left a handwritten note along with two Polaroid pictures of my boys from when I returned. They both seemed so happy and content when I got back from my trip - which is exactly what I would wish for my feline babies. I’ll definitely book with Kyrstin again and highly recommend her services!”
“Theresa was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties when we were away. Kept us updated with photos and descriptions of her visits. Very responsive via text/email. Will happily book again!”
“Andrew was an excellent sitter for our two kitties while we were away. He sent us numerous photos and adhered strictly to their routine. It was evident that our kitties adored him and were delighted to see him in the pictures. We’re definitely planning to use Andrew again for our next trip away.🥰”
About: Ive taken care of pets from working at boarding big companies to sitting in my home for about 10 years and would love make your pet feel as close to home from my home My schedule is open to your pet 24/7 i only leave home for pick ups and drop off for kids and grocery runs but someone is always home and your pet will never be left alone! I have a fenced big yard your dog can let all there engery out and enjoy the scenic views when I walk them in my neighborhood
About: I have been taking care of my personal dogs for over 20 years, since I was a child, I have always had a dog in my house. In the past 5 years, I am the go to person my family and friends go to when they are out of town and they need someone to care for their pet. I recently decided to go back to college to finish my degree, in the mean time, to earn some money I would like to do something with a flexible schedule and something I enjoy, which is taking care of pets! The way I would care for someone’s pet is with love and attention, that is something I would expect as a dog owner myself, I understand how important pets are and how important they are to a family. Prefer if dogs are crate trained, although they will be free to roam during the day I prefer they sleep on a crate since it is the only time of the day I cannot keep an eye on them to make sure they are safe. I work full time from home and am able to spend time with dogs! I am able to provide short-term and/or long-term walks twice a day when caring for your dog. I am able to handle both small and large breeds. I prefer if your dog is comfortable with other dogs as I own a Samoyed puppy. My dog is free to roam around my apartment but sleeps in a crate when it’s bedtime or when unsupervised. Also do take him out for potty breaks every 3-4 hours and goes on 1-2 long walks a day (45 mins to an hour). Can provide more potty breaks/walks to your dog as requested. I would prefer if your dog is crate trained so they can sleep in crate to make sure they are safe during the night. During the day they have full supervision to make sure they are safe! I know carrying a crate is not easy, I have additional crate for them to sleep in! My wife and I recently crate trained our 7 month old Samoyed puppy, we can help your dog as well 😊
About: I love animals very much. I can always establish a good interactive relationship with pets and help them adapt to the new environment quickly. By observing and perceiving their needs, I can provide timely help and let them spend a relaxing and happy time. I have also taken care of many older dogs and know how to feed them medicine and care for them. I work from home so I am able to take care of the pet throughout the day, I take dog for walks in the morning and evening and take him out to play in the backyard every two to three hours. I have a fenced backyard and I have a six year old very well behaved and friendly little dachshund at home to play with your dog. Because I take care of my own dog every day and have taken care of different kinds of dogs, so I can take good care of your dog too.
About: We grew up with cats and have been cat lovers our entire lives! We currently have three cats of our own, Sophie, Milky, and Yolkie, who are truly part of our family. Over the years, we’ve gained plenty of hands-on experience caring for cats of different personalities and needs, including administering medications and looking after sick cats. We understand how important it is to pay attention to the little details, from changes in appetite and litter box habits to subtle differences in behavior. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or loves cuddles, we’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We’re happy to help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications, and anything else your kitty may need. We know how stressful it can be to leave your cats behind, so we’ll treat them just like our own and keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. Your cats’ happiness and well-being will always be our priority! Taking care of your pet is my full time job no matter the day or week. Unlike many others, I am able to make sure that your pet has my attention 24/7. We are in a 3 story townhome with plenty of space to explore! Your pet is allowed to roam anywhere they please inside and the entire house is pet-friendly. We have a small front yard but it is not fenced so we will definitely make sure they are not outside without a leash. We always make sure the leash your dog before leaving the house. I will be there 24/7 with your dog to play and tend to there needs. Plenty of walks!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for friends and family for the past couple of years and I enjoy welcoming our fur babies into my home. I work during the week from 9:30-6 so before and after work my time and efforts are dedicated to showing your fur babies as much love and attention as possible Even though I don’t have a big yard or a lot of run for your fur babies to play, I’m a sucker for a long run walk and ample time outdoors so that they’re getting their steps in too
About: I've had a love of dogs (and all animals) for as long as I can remember. Though I haven't been blessed with a dog of my own, I often care for my cousins' dogs and cherish every minute spent with them. One of them is a handsome mixed breed little guy named Juno and the other a Great Pyrenees named Rosco. I take them on walks several times a day, feed them, and play with them to their heart's content. They are my furry nephews and I love them so much! I'm a fast learner and a detail-oriented person. I will adjust to your dog's routine quickly. Their safety and well-being is my priority and I will take care of your fur babies with as much attentiveness as I would my own. We will have so much fun and they will get all the love and cuddles they desire! I currently have open availability so I can care for your pets whenever suits you best! I can take them for walks, do drop-ins, or house sit while you’re away. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and will leave it tidy for your return. I will make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while sharing their home with a stranger (soon to be friend)!
About: I’ve been caring for other people’s dogs and cats for years, with my experience caring for pets going all the way back to my teens. For the past two years, I’ve especially loved walking and doing drop-in visits for dogs in my neighborhood, and I’ve also cared for cats through house sitting and drop-in visits over the years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each fur baby, learning their personality and routine, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets. After having such wonderful experiences using Rover for my own fur babies, I decided it was time to join the sitter side and share that same kind of care with other families! 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes welcoming another fur baby into my home an easy fit! I personally provide all care, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and love throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, and bedtime routine as closely as possible. Your fur baby will be welcomed into my dog-loving home with a fully fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who love having company! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship throughout the day. I walk my dogs regularly and would love to include your fur baby in our walks when appropriate. I’ll personally provide their care and follow their normal feeding, potty, sleeping, and care routines as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while their humans are away.
“Xiaoyi was absolutely amazing with my dog Bella. At first, I was skeptical about this service as I am very picky about who I like to work with Bella. That being said I would absolutely book Xiaoyi without any hesitation or reservation. If you like someone who is very attentive communicative and very caring, please look no further. While I was away on my trip, she kept me informed with pictures and text messages on my dogs experience. I look forward to working with her in the future! 10 out of 10 experience!!!”
“Christian was very good with my cat, who is very cautious around new people. He did lots of little thoughtful things like leave treats around the apartment for when she was less stressed. He was also very flexible when my travel plans changed without much warning. He is polite and responsive. You can't find a better sitter for a cat in Rockville or Gaithersburg!”
“Susan was great! I felt safe with her taking care of my cat while I was away overseas. She was communicative the entire time, very responsive, left me daily notes on time, and my cat seemed to have had a great time with her. Would book again :)”
About: Growing up around animals gave me a lifelong love and appreciation for them, especially dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals with different personalities, routines, ages, and care needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have several years of experience providing pet care for families through pet sitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight stays. I also volunteer with a local animal shelter and have assisted with animal care in my community. I understand that every pet is different. Some are energetic and social, while others may be shy, anxious, older, or simply happiest following their familiar routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight pet sitting and can accommodate both recurring and occasional care. I do my best to maintain each pet’s normal feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime routine so they experience as little disruption as possible while their family is away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, household rules, and security. I respect your home and keep your pet’s environment clean and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. If I notice any unusual behavior or changes in your pet’s well-being, I will communicate with you promptly.
“Julia was great - she is very responsive and detail-orientated. The cats knocked over a photo frame during our trip and she cleaned up the glass for us because she knew it would be a hazard for their little paws. Great cat sitter, definitely plan to hire Julia again!”
About: I personally have 4 cats and have taken care of them for more than 10 years. I've also taken care of my friends' dogs. They relied on me to feed and take good care of them. I'm a junior in college and have plenty time over the summer. I'm available taking care of pets overnight. I prefer weekdays but sometimes I can also do weekends. There is a lake near my house and I can take them for a walk at there. I have a deck to ensure their safety. My family loves animals, which keeps them company.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Washington Grove
Our girl Mao Mi (9 year old cat) loved Brianne! I have never felt so at ease leaving Mao Mi at home while on vacation. She was completely cared for and paid lots of attention; she got lots of play time, treats, and pets. When I got home after Brianne took care of Mao mi, Mao mi was very calm and happy, and didn’t have the forlorn energy she usually does after I’ve been gone awhile. She seemed Brianne is a very experienced professional who knows how to play with and interact with cats. She was respectful of the house and left things in good shape. She does informative daily updates and is a great pet photographer.
Amy was such a pleasure to work with!! She made sure to meet me and my cat before the actual day I needed her to check on my cat to have clear communication on what she needed to do and how my cat reacts to her and it really made me feel so relieved leaving my cat with her!! She’s so thoughtful about each pet and I’d 10/10 recommend!!
Immediately our kitties Ovi and (even sassy) B took a liking to Cindy. Cindy was flexible and met the kitties few days before the appointment and was very attentive and sweet towards the kitties. Detailed oriented. Provided updates and photo during the visit. Will highly recommend and will use service again.
Amanda is so reassuring to her clients and make sure our pets are being taken care of. She does a great job at communicating and taking care of your pet! Trust me, if you have a sitter or this is your first time doing anything like this, pick her or change your sitter because she’s the best of the best! Thanks Amanda!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Washington Grove is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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.

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.

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.
