“This was my first time using rover and Olivia was a pleasure and constant professional and helped ease my nerves. She went over and beyond to make sure that the dogs were taken care of.”
“Sharmily is our ‘go to’ person for cat sitting. She does a great job with our 2 kitties and always sends a note with pictures so we know that all is well. We strongly recommend her to anyone in Hyattsville, Riverdale, College Park and nearby areas.”
“Carla is great! It didn't matter that we booked at the last minute, or that the weather was really lousy while we were out, she kept our kitties nice and happy day after day, and always on schedule ? This was also the first time I've hired a cat sitter, everything from booking till the last day of kitty sitting went smoothly. Would recommend!”
“Maura was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! This was my first time leaving Duchess home without me for several days, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Maura made the entire experience so much easier. She was attentive, spent quality time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. I especially appreciated how consistent Maura was with sending updates and pictures and letting me know how Duchess was doing throughout the day. I would absolutely book with Maura again. I think Duchess may have officially found herself a new babysitter!”
“Keaton, was so amazing and communicated often. They sent us great photos of our shy cat. Usually our cat doesn't come out but she was clearly in caring attentive hands.”
“Meredith is highly responsible, and has successfully taken care of my cat who has become quite sassy (and hissy) toward pet sitters. I am so grateful that she has been able to work with us, even though I know her visits to see Luna are not easy. You're my hero Meredith!”
“Megan was nothing short of amazing. I found her to be very trustworthy and patient with my cat who certainly has a big personality. She worked to ensure that Bella warmed up to her over the days and sent wonderful reports and photos after her visit. We will definitely be working with her in the future and look forward to seeing her more often!”
“Maria was so wonderful with our cat Lucy. Lucy is a bit shy but I could tell from the pictures and videos Maria sent me daily that Lucy was comfortable and having a a great time with Maria’s company. Maria was very reliable and even showed up for us on Thanksgiving Day. She sent me a report every day to let me know how the visit went and how Lucy was doing. We hate leaving our Lucy alone for a few days but it was a great comfort to know she was taken such great care of by Maria while my daughter had to go out of town. I will definitely use Maria again if we need a pet sitter in the future and I’m so grateful for her wonderful care of our sweet Lucy.”
“Ashley was fantastic with our cat! She was very responsive and communicative with us, flexible when our plans changed, and did everything we could possibly ask. Our cat was in great hands while we were away and was happy as ever after Ashley's visits. We will definitely book her again!”
“Drew was AMAZING! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my sweet Lady. She’s 12 years old and needs extra care and attention, and Drew went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of during each visit. Communication was excellent, and the updates gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend Drew to anyone looking for a truly caring and dependable sitter!”
“Sarah has watched my cats a few times now and every time I come home to happy, well loved and well tended cats. She is so kind and loving with them! I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Jocabet was a lifesaver! She filled in last minute when our usual walker wasn’t available and was very communicative, punctual and gave great updates as well as photos. We will definitely book her again!”
“Trish was very punctual for the meet and greet as well as the walks . She was very communicative. We have been trying to find a walker that worked well with Marlin and Trish is it ! We loved all the pictures.”
“Lilla was great for visiting with my two pups! She was flexible and quick to respond when I needed a sitter due to unexpected trip to attend a funeral. She communicated well and provided me pictures of her visits. She even cleaned up after one of my pups when she got sick in the house. I’d recommend her and will use her again. Thank you, Lilla, and sorry about the pup mess!”
“Lindsay is awesome! On time and super communicative. Her comfortability with Kai and overall experience is very comforting and Kai loved her. Looking forward to booking again soon!”
“Gabs always communicates so well and we always trust our home and pets with them. Gabs even watered our plants while we were out of town, which was super helpful!”
“Hayley was amazing! Arrived early/on time and took lots of pictures. We asked for help on short notice and she delivered! We came home to a happy dog and cat. Will definitely use her again!”

Brianna was amazing! Meet and greet beforehand was easy, and my cat loved her. She provided daily updates, which gave me peace of mind when I was away. She’s reliable, communicative, and definitely took good care of my cat. I highly recommend Brianna and will book again.
Izcali did an amazing job checking in on my two kitties while I was away!! Every day she sent amazing photos and she made sure they were well taken care of :) she played with them every day and when we came home the cats were healthy and happy. I had such peace of mind leaving the cats in Izcali’s care and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter
Maura was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! This was my first time leaving Duchess home without me for several days, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Maura made the entire experience so much easier. She was attentive, spent quality time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for.

I think Duchess may have officially found herself a new babysitter!
I cannot say enough good things about having Kim as our cat sitter. My last trip, she accommodated multiple scheduling changes. When one of my babies was particularly struggling with the separation, she took special care of him, was flexible with modifying longer visits, and amply communicated and reassured me.
Erica is wonderful. She is very professional and always on time. She gets along great with Rayne, who can be a little untrusting, so this is a very big accomplishment. She helped us out on short notice and we truly appreciate everything. We feel lucky to have found her and plan to book her again for all our doggy needs in the future. She is truly a delight.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Adelphi on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 17,971 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Adelphi. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Adelphi 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Adelphi. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
