“Thanks so much Yerlis. Very professional. Dogs took to her immediately. Timely and accommodating. First time on the app and a great impression so far. Will see you soon.”
About: I am 19 and I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a freshman in high school. My experience includes dog walking, overnight stays, and boarding dogs in my home for up to two weeks at a time. I’ve cared for both puppies and senior dogs, so I’m comfortable meeting a variety of needs. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to provide pets with reliable care. I’m currently a college student with an open schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! Whether they need a walk, playtime, or just someone to keep them company. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special instructions. I treat every home with respect, keep owners updated with photos and messages, and make sure their pets receive the same care and attention I’d want for my own.
“We really enjoyed our meet and greet with Matt. He was great with both my dogs and his background and understanding of dog behavior and dog training is very reassuring with my very anxious puppers!”
“Kristal was great with my two kitties. She did drop in visits while I was on a multi-day vacation. I got updates and pictures everyday and she even cleaned up kitty cat puke (from one of my babies who has a sensitive tummy). Would absolutely book again!”
About: I’m 19 and new to pet sitting but very passionate about animals. I’m eager to learn and provide attentive, loving care to every pet I watch. I’m reliable, patient, and enthusiastic about helping pets feel safe and happy. Pet care fits well into my daily routine as I am flexible and committed to prioritizing your pet’s needs. I can adjust my schedule to ensure your pets get consistent attention and care. I create a safe, clean, and loving environment whether in your home or mine. I follow all care instructions closely and respect your pet’s comfort and boundaries to build trust.
About: I’ve been passionate about animal science and animal welfare for as long as I can remember. I’m currently a veterinary technician at an animal hospital in the DC area. I’ve worked at the Smithsonian Zoo, NIH facilities, doggy daycare and boarding facilities, animal clinics, and a humane society shelter for birds, cats, dogs, rodents and reptiles. I will be applying for veterinary school this summer and I am currently in a Master’s program with a concentration in bioengineering. I’m currently working full-time at an animal hospital, including mornings on Saturday. I have two days during the week that I am off the clock. My shifts are from 7:30am to 6:00pm during the week and 7:30am to 12:00pm. I’ve used my experience in veterinary medicine and educational background (B.S. in animal science from UMD) to recognize animal behavior. I’ll know to understand your pets boundaries and behaviors when interacting with them in their home.
About: I have always been an animal lover. I've had small,medium and extra large dogs! Growing up I was the kid that had rabbits, chickens, dogs and cats. I obtained my vet assistant certification to learn how to better care for my pets and have enjoyed spoiling them ever since! I'd love to help care for your fur babies. I am currently working until 4pm but I'm available any time after and on weekends. My husband is home during the day so there is always someone home to look after our pets. I have a park very close by along with nature trails for long walks. I have a 6 year old large baby who is able to keep anybody entertained.
“Jessica gives excellent service. She is committed, respectful, flexible with her schedule if possible, and tends to one’s needs. Most importantly, she loves pets and that really made me feel good while I was gone. I’ll definitely book her again if she’s available. I recommend her to anyone in this area looking for some help with their pets :)”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old! I love dogs so much and the joy that they bring me is therapeutic. I have a 10 year old spayed dog-ther named Disco! She is great with other dogs and loves company. We would love to host your fur baby. I am at home currently doing freelance so I am available! Your fur baby will be in good care and have lots of fun here. I have a fenced in backyard and a nice neighborhood to walk through. I have 1 spayed female 10 year old terrier mix named Disco who would love to have some friends.
About: Hello, I'm Kristen and I would love to spoil your dog(s) while you are away! I started Rover dog-sitting after losing my dog of 12 years and it was the best decision. I've watched dogs of all sizes and personalities and enjoy learning what makes them unique. I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I get to meet many dogs and learn more about dog behavior. I will treat your dogs like my own and make sure they get plenty of exercise to work off any anxiety from missing you. I'm happy to take care of puppies (if they are potty-trained) and senior dogs (if they are ok with stairs) and provide the extra attention they need. I live in a three-story townhome with a small carpeted basement off the garage, hardwood floor on main level, and carpet in the upstairs bedrooms. I have a small non-fenced yard in the back with a deck (4 stairs to ground). I've attached pictures of all the stairs for anyone with senior dogs. Dogs are free to couch-surf and allowed on the bed here. But I can reinforce whatever the rules are in their home.
About: Hi, I’m Angel! With experience working and volunteering at animal shelters and Dog Daycares, I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who will treat your pets like my own. Your pets happiness and well-being are my top priorities! Updates and photos are included in every service for your peace of mind. When you leave your pet with me, you can rest assured they’re in loving, capable hands. As a substitute teacher (who is now out for the summer!) I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available for pet care on weekdays and weekends, 24/7. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs. My priority is ensuring they receive the attention, care, and companionship they deserve, no matter the time of day! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to exercise needs, and ensure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or (consensual!) cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and preferences. I also keep the home clean, respect the space, and provide regular updates (including pictures) so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is safe and sound.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in the house. I have experience caring for both from birth to end of life. I can give medications, hand feed, clean incontinence/accidents, scoop and clean litter boxes, administer subcutaneous IV fluids, walk, play, and anything your baby may need. I will care for them as if they are my own and would love to spoil them. My schedule is semi-flexible as I work from home. I’m available afternoons and evenings. Feel free to reach out if a different time is needed and I will see what I can do. I am offering drop in visits and walking for right now. I will be respectful of your property and sensitive and patient with your baby.
“I can’t say enough great things about Miranda. We are so grateful to have found her and for all the care she gave our Tux over the past year. He’s a shy outdoor cat but he feels so safe and loved with Miranda. We are sadly moving but I wish we could duplicate Miranda!”

“My dogs took to Brooke immediately and they were so happy when I got home. She is very professional, responds almost immediately, took great pics of the pups, is great about explaining the app to newbies :), and I am definitely hiring her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends and family members have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am currently working from home and am available during the day for walks or available for overnights. My schedule is pretty much flexible with the right amount of notice. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood. I have a yard for them to go outside. I also have a basement dedicated to a play area for them.
About: I am a photographer with a beautiful and friendly Keeshond living by my side. I love to take my buddy on long hikes and he has become quite the mountain dog. I do pet photography and would be happy to capture pictures of your puppy during our walks. (A few of the pictures in my profile show examples of dog portraits I’ve taken in the past) IG: BeusBeus I have flexible hours but I do have a toddler who needs a lot of my attention but she goes to school for most of the day. We have a fenced house and I go on walks with my dog at least twice a day and love to take him hiking around the Bay Area where he thrives in nature

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Accokeek stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Accokeek choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Accokeek with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
