“We had issues with our doorman passing off our key and Evan was very patient and communicative throughout it all! Evan has been reliable every time we’ve used him and we will certainly continue to use him!”
“Our family had a medical emergency and Summar was flexible and understanding when we needed to change the schedule around slightly! During a very stressful time, it was a relief to know that our cat was in good hands - one less thing for us to worry about. She is dependable, trustworthy, and I think of her like family! Thank you Summar!!!!”
“Karsyn was awesome! We went away for 8 days (the longest we’ve ever left our cats) and I was really nervous but Karsyn took great care of our kitties and sent lots of photos :)”
About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.
About: I have experience caring for my own two dogs and cat-sitting for different clients. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to give pets the attention and affection they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around pet care visits. I'm happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their pets' routines and make sure they receive reliable, attentive care. I prioritize each dog's safety and comfort during every walk. I follow the owner's instructions, keep dogs securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, and make sure they have access to water and breaks when needed. I treat every dog with patience and care, and I provide updates to owners so they know their pets are in good hands.
“Celeste was an excellent sitter. She followed all of my instructions, sent photos and videos and was great company for my attention seeking kitty. I would not hesitate to have her come to my house and watch Caccia in the future!!”
“Hannah followed my cat’s instructions perfectly; she was responsive and friendly too. I received lots of great pictures and felt that my cat was well cared for. Thanks so much, Hannah!”
“Stephanie stepped in on short notice and took great care of our dog and cat while we were away? She left helpful notes, sent photos and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were out of town! I would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her when we travel again.”
“Landy is not only a wonderful person but you can tell she loves animals. My cat can be very stand fish to new people and immediately fell in love with Landy after the first visit. She also was very accommodating with my needs of pick up and drop off of my keys, just a wonderful wonderful sitter!”
“Anne took fantastic care of our cat while we were away for the weekend - she sent pics and communicated after her visits too which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend!”
“Linda was reliable, communicative, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. One of the standout aspects of Linda’s visits was the genuinely great photos she took. It was so reassuring to see my cat looking happy and engaged with her. You could tell he was enjoying her company and playtime sessions. The photos were a wonderful bonus that really showed the quality of attention she was giving him. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her services to other cat owners!”
About: For as long as I can remember, my family has had pets. I've had the opportunity to love and care for many wonderful animals over the years including geckoes, cats, and dogs, including my current darling cat Artemis. I live in downtown Silver Spring, MD, right by the metro station, so I can get around very easily. I'm used to caring for animals both big dogs and those who require a gentle touch, and I make sure to look after their safety and happiness. I also have experience caring for older dogs, and I am happy to tailor my care to their needs. When caring for others' pets, I make sure to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins. My goal as a sitter is simple: to give you peace of mind and to provide your pet with safety, care, and love while they wait to see their favorite people in the world once again. I am currently in-between positions, and so have a large degree of availability for taking care of your pets. I have availability any day of the week at this time. My home is a small, 1 bedroom apartment, but the building borders a small park area which itself contains a dog park for walking needs.
About: I started caring for pets in college (~2015), I am a 3rd Medical student at PSCOM. I am currently completing a research year at the NIH. Pet care is a great way to raise funds for my education, while doing something I love! I grew up with dogs: chihuahuas, german shepherds, saint bernards, and pitbulls. I have cared for small-to-extra large dogs. Loved each experience! I love to run/walk near-by trails and hikes. If you are comfortable with me taking your pets, I would gladly do so! I always send photo updates. I have two Jack Russel mixes of my own! They had to stay in Pennsylvania with my family, so taking care of your fur-babies will help me feel connected to them. If you want me to house sit, I will be studying most of the time and would appreciate a well-lighted desk and/or kitchen table! Happy to answer any questions. I am an early morning riser, and can fit in a 1-2 mile walk/run (whatever you & your pet are comfortable with) before starting my day at 9am. If the location is near my area, lunch visits to your pets are possible. Afternoon care could start as early as 5pm. I will model my gym & studying routine around whatever routine you & your pet are used to. When we are home our two boys stay inside, they love head pats and jump up for hugs/cuddles. In the summer time we have a fenced backyard patio where they stay during the day. In the winter time, we set up an enclosed area in our basement so they stay warm while we’re at work/school. They are small bodied but take up our queen sized bed!
“My two cats were happy and well cared for with Annika while I was on a trip, and she provided great updates during her visits with them. I will definitely go with Annika for future cat sitting needs!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Westgate
I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough! Leaving Liam is always stressful, but Jennifer gave us total peace of mind from day one. She strictly followed his feeding routine and litter schedule, and sent us updates regularly. Professional, punctual, and a genuine cat person. We will definitely be booking them again!
Gabby always goes above and beyond in catsitting my cat. She is always punctual, follows care instructions to a T, and genuinely cares about making my cat happy and pampered. Gabby also goes the extra mile to ensure my cat feels comfortable around her, hanging around with my cat until she’s happy and content. She also sends tons of cute pictures of my cat and sends a Rover Card after each visit. Gabby has helped me out so many times in watching my cat, sometimes at the last minute. I’m so happy to have her!
Best catsitting experience we had so far. Audrey was very friendly, punctual, absolutely reliable and sent photos of our cats’ and her interactions with them every time she visited. Peace of mind for us, and the cats obviously enjoyed having Audrey, too. We will definitely avail ourselves of her help in the future.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Westgate is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $60 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.

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.
