“I have used Maura twice to feed my two cats and dog and to walk my dog this most recent time on short notice. My dog is older and takes a lot of time and patience to take for a walk. All my pets seemed healthy and happy when I got back.”
“Carla was amazing! She came by to meet Luke before my trip and sent lots of pictures tires and messages while I was away. It made my first international trip so much better knowing Luke had someone to check in on him. Highly recommend Carla!”
“We rely on Jared for walking our dogs and also for dropping in on our cats when we travel. He stays the whole time and plays with them in addition to feeding them and cleaning their litter boxes. All our pets like Jared.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 10 years, I know how to bathe, feed, walk, and play with your dogs even train dogs (not certified). I’m usually always home because I don’t have a job currently, I’m always taking out my dogs every 2 hours because I have a senior. I’m offer dog walking, bathing, playing anything you need from me. Even if it’s feeding, giving them water, putting clothes on them, I can do it all.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the natural care, patience, and affection I bring to every pet I meet. Dogs truly have my heart! 🐾❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy. I'm attentive to each dog's unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether it's a naturally playful puppy, or one who needs a little extra encouragement or a senior dog who enjoys a slower pace and gentle care, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm also reliable, detail oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents informed and reassured. For me, pet sitting isn't just a job; it's something I genuinely enjoy! 🐾🐶❤️ I'm currently taking a little break from my regular work, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule and would love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy caring for animals! 🐾❤️ I love filling my days with walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship, making sure each pet feels happy, loved, and well cared for. I'm happy to accommodate their routines and give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their family is away! 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines and make sure they feel just as happy and cared for as they would with their family. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that means feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also respect each pet's personality and boundaries, giving them affection when they want it and space when they need it. I treat every home with care and respect, and I'm always happy to share updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured knowing their furry loved ones are in good hands!
“Jane was great!! Serena usually hides when a stranger comes in. But Serena did great!! Great feedback from Jane. And pictures!! As a nervous fur mom, Jane will be taking care of my fur baby for a week next month. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!!!!”
“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.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Nichole took amazing care of our 4-year-old cat, Tookie, during our week-and-a-half trip and truly went above and beyond in every way. Tookie is a long-haired cat, and she took the time to brush her regularly and keep her coat looking beautiful. She even cleaned her ears, which was such a kind thing to offer. Beyond caring for Tookie, she also watered our plants and looked after our home with great care. When our travel plans changed and we needed to come home early, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole process completely stress-free. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she’s entrusted with. We felt so comfortable knowing Tookie was in such capable hands. We 100% recommend Nichole to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter, and we absolutely hope to book with her again in the future!”
“This was the first time I used Rover and someone I did not know to take care of my dog. Sydni did more than take care of my pup, she took care of my worries. She was so thoughtful in the texts. Matrix was beyond happy. I would use her anytime. It was easy to meet with her, and she kept me updated twice a day on how he was. She cut the walks short if it was too hot outside, considered how he might react with the fireworks, just incredibly caring.”
About: As a pet lover and parent, I have cared for animals my whole life. In the past 10 years, I have not only cared for my own cats and dogs but I am a trusted pet sitter, house carer and dog walker for my neighbors and friends. I’m in Silver Spring, MD area and willing to travel up to 10km around the Washington DMV. I bring verve, reliability and love to each visit I have with your pet. I can also board your pet during the day or overnight in my home. My home has a fenced yard, is pet safe and comes with the company of one small easy-going Cavalier dog named Ziggy Stardust, who always loves visitors. I offer free meet and greets. I will give you regular visit reports and photos to ensure you feel at ease with the attentive care I give your beloved four-legged. 💜🐶🐱🌈 I’m currently working from home with some regular appointments outside of the home. I live solo with my easy-going ruby cavalier pup, Ziggy Stardust. I have a dog friendly home with a fenced yard and plenty of soft places for pups to be and enjoy. I welcome traveling up to 10km away to take care of your cat or dog in your home. Bringing in mail, cleaning up litter boxes, picking up after dogs and/or taking dogs out for up to 3x daily walks. I will care for your home and pets like they are my own.
“Mia is amazing!! So glad to know her! She is so great to work with and I feel like my cat is in wonderful hands. I hope she is available for my next trip.”
“I love how conscientious Matilda is with all of our requests and providing feedback to us during her visits. My cat, Milo, is warming up to her and has even spent time on her lap (for my Scardy Cat - that is amazing). I hope to continue to use her during our travels.”
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: Option 2 (more professional): I have six years of hands-on experience caring for my own two cats, one female and one male. I’m experienced with daily feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming, and giving medications when needed. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and always prioritize patience, safety, and plenty of affection. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available in the evenings, on weekends, and for drop-in visits. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special routines. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I’ll take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Both of my cats are super friendly. I’ll also provide regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

“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.”
“This was our first Rover experience and if they are all like Joe then we should have been doing this a long time ago. His responses were quick, the dogs loved him, he documents everything in the app, and he even worked with us when our flights were cancelled last minute. If trying to decide on a sitter or walker, go with Joe. You won’t regret it.”

Joe is amazing! My old kitty warmed up to him and connected to him right away. He definitely speaks animals! He was able to get my kitty his inhaler every day while we were gone, and I know that has been challenging with previous sitters. He was very patient and kind with my cat and gave great updates. 10/10 recommend Joe to care for your furbabies.
Abigail is hands down the best pet-sitter that we've ever had. We have three cats, two of which I'd describe as being skittish (though non-harmful). By day two, both of those cats were comfortable with Abby! Typically, I tell pet-sitters that those cats may hide the entire time, but that was not the case this time--both cats seemed to hang around her, actively and happily anticipating her visit. When we arrived home, my cats were none the wiser of and clearly had not experienced any anxiety in our absence. It is an immense relief to experience that as a pet-owner and can say that I will continue to book Abby as long as she's available!
We had a great experience with Jane! She was reliable, attentive, and took wonderful care of our Buddy cat. I especially appreciated that she made sure she actually saw our cat before leaving each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure everything was okay. We felt very comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Marika checked in on our two cats while we were on vacation. She was thorough in her communications, took great pictures, and gave our cats excellent care. They were peaceful and calm when we got home, a sure sign that they were happy while we were gone. Were very grateful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Adelphi is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 17,730 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Adelphi. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
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.
