“Matilda left everything in fantastic shape and took wonderful care of Milo. She even filled our bird feeders - which is such good entertainment for Milo! She is always very thoughtful and informative about her visits.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child. I’ve fed, walked, trained, given medications and even IV treatment to all of them. From babies to elderly pets, I have experience with them all. I have open availability any day of the week. I do have 2 children which depending on the time of day may need to come with me. I cannot stay overnight or have any pets at my home. I will feed, walk, give medication to and of course play and interact with your pet and tend to their needs. I know all animals have their own personality and am very patient and will work with all of their quirks and behaviors.
“Erica did a great job taking care of our Lucy while we were gone for five days. She was reliable and showed up every day, twice a day to care for Lucy and always sent us pictures and updates. I would greatly recommend her and trust her again to care for Lucy.”
“Excellent job! I am very pleased with the way Isabelle took time to play with my cat. Last time I went away she was so anxious and stressed when I came home because that sitter just went in and out. But this time, my cat was happy to see me and there were no accidents! I will definitely use Isabelle in the future!”
About: I’m an experienced kitten foster parent with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve trained my own cats to walk on leashes and master basic tricks, and I bring that same patience and care to every pet I meet. I'm a huge dog lover too—and I will definitely ask to pet your dog! I also like all types of animals. I currently have pet fish, but love snakes, guinea pigs, the whole zoo! I work remotely so I can hang around your pet as needed! I can come morning, lunch time or evening to check on your pet. I have reliable transportation and flexible schedule I have experienced coaxing pets with food as needed. I have a good ability to gain pets’ trusts and speak with a calm relaxing voice. I have that vibe animals really love.
About: I have cared for cats and dogs since childhood. As an adult, I’ve adopted and fostered four dogs and worked closely with trainers to deal with obedience, reactivity, and impulse control. As a helper to you and your pet, I will prioritize earning your dog or cat’s trust, being consistent with your routine and training goals, and showing them all the love I have to give. You can count on me, and I’ll aend more photos than you need to prove it! ☺️ I work from home and can adjust my meeting schedule easily. I have two dogs myself and understand how important routine is. As long as we plan ahead, we can make anything work! I offer walks, drop ins, and pet sitting in your home. Happy to care for the plants as well. ☺️ Depending on the distance, I can stay overnight or make multiple daily trips while balancing care for my own fur babies.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child. I got my first dog at age 7 and was always helping take care of him. I have helped taken care of animals for my friends and family as well as neighbors when they are away. All ages and all sizes and all kinds are accepted. I love animals and will always make sure your furry friend is taken care of! I am caring for animals part time. I am available weekends full day and night if needed. I can do evenings during the week if needed after 4pm. I have a fenced in yard and a fur baby to keep yours company. Her name is Stella and she is super friendly. I have a crate if needed to use. I have many extra toys and treats to offer! Your furry friend will be effortlessly cared for and loved by me and they will have gained a new friend!
About: I've been a go-to pet sitter since I was 12, starting with dog walking as my first real job. Friends and family trust me so much they have referred me to others, and now I've got fur nieces and nephews all over the country. Whether it’s puppies or senior pets, I make sure they feel loved on and happy. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I currently have a cat and share pet duties with my roommate, so I'm used to balancing responsibilities. Plus, I miss being more active, and pet care is a perfect way to stay active and enjoy time with furry friends. It’s a win-win for all of us! I like to learn the pets regular home routine & abide by the rules of the house. From there, it’s important for me to make the transition feel seamless. I give them a lot of love & reassurance especially if I sense their feeling anxious or confused. I also love to incorpore long walks and more active play time to help them expend some energy and hopefully soothe any anxiety. I would determine the right type of activities based on their temperament & guidance from their owner.
“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!”
About: Hi I am an illustrator from Washington D.C. I am a former graphic designers and Production Specialist at the Washington Navy Yard. I also have five years dog waking experience which began In 2014 during my college spring break. I have worked off an on as a dog walker since then. I am a relaxed dog walker who does not get frustrated with extremely hyper dogs. I am also pretty big so I will not be pulled and yanked around by rambunctious pups. I am pretty accommodating to the needs of the owners. If you prefer your dog walked solo that can be arranged. I have been doing this a long time so I’m am used to being around dogs and look forward to walking your family member.
About: I’ve always had a strong love for animals and plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. I have four dogs and three cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m patient and attentive when getting to know them. I’m responsible, caring, and treat every pet I look after like they’re part of my own family. I enjoy giving animals plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure their owners feel confident that their pets are in good hands. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine because I have four dogs and three cats of my own. I’m used to keeping consistent feeding, walking, playtime, and cleaning schedules throughout the day. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they get the attention and care they need. Because pet care is already part of my everyday life, I’m comfortable working it into my schedule and being dependable with other people’s pets as well. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, bathroom breaks, and bedtime routines. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, safe space and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized while making sure their pets feel comfortable and cared for. I also give regular updates so owners can feel reassured that their pets are doing well.
About: Your dog will be like family when staying with us. We have a Redbone Coonhound mix pup (8/1/22) and a Weimaraner (3/24/23) that loves to play with other dog visitors. We are an active family that likes to get outside, throw the yard around and play in the yard. Your doggy will be tired by the end of the day after playing with us. Lots of love and attention are given. We can customize your care plan based on each dogs needs. We have experience with senior dogs and dogs that require medication. I’ve been around dogs all my life and started off watching dogs in their homes, to picking up dog walks, to having our own dogs, to now boarding in our home. Our dogs are like our children and yours will be treated the same when he/she comes into our home. Any dog we board must be comfortable around other dogs. Crate trained preferred until they can be trusted. Any aggressive behavior, we will have to cancel stay early. All furry friends must be up to date on their shots, heart worm and flea/tick meds. Doggy day care rates are based on drop off between 8-9am with pickup between 5-6pm. Any stay over will be charged at a pro-rata rate, please message for extended hours rates. One of us works full time, with the other at home full time. We tag team to care for all visiting dogs. They are given triple attention with us, as we also have a teenager that loves to throw the ball around with the dogs and give them brushes and attention. We have lots of space to run outside in our fenced in yard. Your pup will be tired by the end of the day here! Dogs are allowed in our yard and home, with the same privileges as our dogs. There are dog beds for them to rest on inside and bins of toys to play with.
“Will absolutely ask Coralie to watch our boys again. They are each capable of getting a little spicy and it was nice to know that she gets it, doesn’t mind, and will still have chill social time with them. Thanks Coralie!”
About: I have been raised around dogs all my life. My dad bred bigger dogs like cane corsos & i breed french bulldogs. The love for animals, especially pups, should be unconditional, just as theirs is to us!! I train pups as well, notably walking my pup around without a leash when in safe environments. I love any pet that comes into my care! I am self employed as well as an experienced dog breeder. I love pets, cherrish them, & treat them like my children! I spend all day with my pup & take her everywhere. I am self employed from home. I have different arrangements for client preferences including food options, crate options being a cage or a flexi kennel, and a gated area to safely allow the pups to enjoy being pups!
About: I have had cats since 2018, when we went to a shelter and found a little orange fluff hiding under another cat. Since then, my family has accumulated a gang of 8 cats! Some younger, some older, I have experience with kittens as well as older cats. I don’t have as much experience with dogs, just occasionally walking them but I am looking to learn and happy to tend to every pet’s needs! I am available late evenings and on weekends for any needs and to meet all the fur babies! I have a full time job, but I am free after 4-5 PM on weekdays, and all day on weekends. I will follow any specific needs your pets need. At home, I have 2 cats who love to chase each other around. They have space to roam, and they are indoor only!
“Alexander did a great job visiting my puppy while I was away. He was timely, gentle and attentive when handling him. I appreciate the updates and extra help with cleaning up after my pup and I trusted that my dog was in great hands. Thanks!”
About: Just like cats, I’ve had several dogs, big or small. I’ve helped at my local shelter, feeding the dogs their medication, and spending long hours understanding them. I’m currently unemployed, I’ll have all day to tend to your pups/kitties! I’m currently studying virtually, so I can always prioritize them above all. I have a large yard and several parks in my vicinity/nature trail. I have a 2500 sq ft floor, meaning I have plenty of room for a fuzzy friend.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ammendale
Matilda is very dependable and conscientious. Our Cat love is very comfortable with her and I can tell because if Milo is stressed, she looses hair on her ears. After being gone over 2 1/2 week and Matilda caring for her, Milo did not loose any hair at all! That might sound silly, but it shows us how much our cat trusts Matilda.
Rachel has a confident, calm and caring approach to pet care. She is professional, on time and flexible with the needs of each of the dogs and cat (and me!) Rachel took the time to understand each of their personalities and bonded with them, and provided fantastic communication and feed back during the entire booking period.
Anny is incredibly nice and she did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She sent me photos and updates so I always knew what was going on and went above and beyond, playing with, petting, and brushing my dog not just popping in to dump food in a bowl/rushing the dog outside and leaving.
Tiera watched my dog Duke for several days and she did an amazing job, she is extremely dependable. She took pictures of my dog. Sent them to me and most importantly she fell all the instructions to a T. I will definitely be using her again and I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a dog sitter.
Nathalie is an outstanding cat sitter. We came home to very happy, healthy, and well loved cats. Nathalie was a great communicator about how our cats were doing and helped us work through getting them used to their new feeders. We loved the daily photos and the clear peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of so professionally.
We were really hesitant at first because this will be the first times our dogs got visited by a sitter, Alexander made everything easy, they went to my home even before the actual dates to meet my dogs i have 3, my dogs instantly liked him, we had alex come by to our home 3 times during the day, he took them out for walks, spend time with them, and also feed them with no problems whats so ever, send pictures updates, really recommend him
Olivia was a wonderful sitter for our three cats. We arranged her service at the last minute after our regular sitter was unavailable. Our cats immediately took to her as she lovingly extended her hand to meet them. They were fed, litter boxes were cleaned and they were calm when we returned. Great communication and it was a nice touch to get photo updates! I can highly recommend her service!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 17,830 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ammendale. 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 Ammendale. 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.
