“She did a great job with my two cats, one of whom has diabetes and requires injections twice a day. She was very flexible and adaptive to my cat's needs. Thank you Alayza!”
“Karima took excellent care of our dog Goose and our apartment while we were away for over a week. She was caring, responsive, and helpful throughout her stay. She sent us daily updates and was very professional. She left our apartment clean and Goose absolutely loved her! I would definitely book with Karima again and suggest her for any of your dog sitting needs.”
About: Hi! I have been a pet parent for most of my life. I enjoy helping others in my community feel safe and less stressed with leaving their loved ones with someone! I can adjust to your needs and make things easy as possible. I usually respond very quickly and I am open to short notices as well! I am currently building an app and finishing up my Masters degree. I am looking for something to earn income while I finish strong on these projects. I have 3 rooms, I have doggy parks, normal parks, and various pet stores near me and vets for emergencies. I have an experienced pet owner besides myself available as well. I clean every two days in general and I clean my cats litter 1-2 times a day depending as well.
“Rachel was spectacular in every way! From my first message, she was communicative, accommodating, and overall very easy to work with. She gave my dog a fantastic week while I was away on vacation and put my mind at ease with regular check ins and photos. She also went above and beyond by leaving my home spotless at the end of the booking. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“I booked Michaela for the weekend to housesit and stay with my dog. My dog can be reactive with other dogs, so I’m always nervous to leave her with new people. She did great with Michaela! Additionally, my flight back got canceled, and Michaela stayed overnight again and then my second flight got very delayed and Michaela was very nice to extend her stay and stay with my dog a little longer. Ensure she had gone potty and been fed before I got home since I was getting home very late. Additionally, the house was very organized and clean. I will definitely be booking Michaela again!!”
About: Being with the NFB {National Federation of The Blind}, I've been around dogs for a very long time. When their owners need a break, I allow them to have time for themselves, and be able to be a regular dog for a bit. I love helping them get groomed, make sure that they're well fed, enjoying walks with them, a whole bunch of other things, including playing with them. This helps the inner child within me, because I'm able to finally reconnect with dogs in a way that I've been reconnecting for the longest amount of time. Thank you for trusting me with them, and have a safe day. Currently, I am working part-time at another job, but hopefully this will be my point of income for a while. I absolutely love the concept of just being paid to play with animals that I have always loved. I can do that any given time frame, any given day, just as long as you are public transportation accessible, I am on my way. I can absolutely assure safety, because I'm a little paranoid about my own. I will make sure that if there's anything I need to know, I will scare me areas around me, know what potential risks there are, potential accidents that could happen, and anything else that needs to be paid attention to. I am good with quickly learning my surroundings and understanding what needs to happen at a very quick pace.
“Sherry was absolutely wonderful! We adopted Binx two months ago, and this was my first time to be away from her. Sherry kept in close communication with me and was an outstanding problem-solver. It could not have been a better experience!”
About: I have taken care of friends, colleagues and neighbors pets over the past 20 years. Some of my residents would not trust their pets to anyone else (so I was told). Pet care would fit into my daily or weekly routine just nicely at this time. I was laid off recently and what better ways to spend my days than with animals. I have two big dogs and a cat but my daughter lives with me so I can come and care for your pets in your home while my pets are taken care of by my daughter.
About: I’ve worked many professional jobs that have allowed me the opportunity to work with cats and dogs from all ranges of breeds and ages. I have my own dog as well as 5 household cats! I love the joy pets bring into our lives and I enjoy caring for them. I’m flexible with most schedules and can incorporate them into my schedule. As long as I know of any changes ahead of time, I will always try my best to meet your needs. I respect others’ homes with the upmost regard and strictly follow instructions given i.e., “walk dog, ensure they have clean water, feed kibble” etc. Any specifics can be discussed and mutually agreed upon.
About: I have sharpened my abilities in dog care and customer service, ensuring that the pets under my supervision receive the highest level of care and attention. My commitment to safety rules and adaptability allows me to handle various situations with ease, whether walking multiple dogs or catering to the unique needs of each pet. I possess a strong set of skills including cleaning, dog care, customer service, communication, time management, and problem solving. My strengths such as adaptability, responsibility, attention to detail, patience, reliability, and work ethic further enhance my ability to excel in this role. I have hands on experience working in professional dog daycare environments, including at Dogtopia and The Board Hound. In these roles, I cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments in a structured group setting. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, ensuring safety and positive behavior, feeding and basic care routines, and maintaining a clean, controlled environment. This experience helped me develop strong skills in dog behavior management, calm handling in high energy situations, and building trust with both pets and their owners. Currently Monday-Friday my availability is open. Have time in the morning, lots of time in the afternoon, I can also do overnight if its needed. I like to work with my clients to get an understanding of their pet's daily routine, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and special requirements.
“Bria was an incredible sitter. 10/10 Our pup is grumpy sometimes and she was so patient and earned his trust immediately. She was so kind and always sent us amazing photos and video updates. And took incredible care of our home as well. I can’t recommend Bria more. We will for sure be using her service again.”
“Crystal is amazing!! Thank you for taking such great care of Chelsea. I greatly appreciate the updates and photos you provided. Can’t wait to have you watch her again soon :)”
“Alexis contacted me for a last minute booking and she was flexible in working out a schedule to care my Princess. She was there like we agreed on and she send messages and pictures for every visit She also contacted us when Princess didn’t want to take her medication. She will definitely be my sitter from now on”
“It was so rough for my senior dog every time we needed to take him to the kennel but since Imani started dog sitting for us we come home to find a healthy and happy dog. Thanks Imani!”
“Jennifer, once again, was just amazing! We can't review her highly enough. Our dogs just love her, and we have no worries when we leave for vacay. Jennifer takes care of the whole house, and this time truly went above and beyond dealing with our heat not working right. She was happily willing to make sure she was at our house for contractors to come in to fix it (with all the craziness and weird hour schedules that go along with that). We were overseas and communication was really difficult, but Jennifer was wonderful at helping with this extenuating circumstance, and really helped us out. We love getting her updates and photos, and our dogs are spoiled in the best way. You can't even tell she's been in your house, I don't know how she manages it! Thank you so much for making our lives better! <3 We will most certainly book again...and again...”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, caring for a variety of pets and learning early on how important patience, consistency, and love are in pet care. Currently, I have a Shih Tzu that I’ve cared for over the past 8 years, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, grooming needs, and providing long-term, attentive care. I’ve also cared for a young Beagle for over two years, which gave me experience with high-energy dogs that require regular exercise, engagement, and structure. What sets me apart is my genuine connection with animals and my ability to adapt to each pet’s personality and needs. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog active, maintaining a consistent routine, or providing gentle care for more relaxed or older pets, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any special instructions, treating every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins without long gaps, ensuring pets receive consistent care and companionship. Because I’m home most of the time, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs, whether that means sticking to a strict routine, giving extra attention, or accommodating special care requests. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy being part of my everyday life. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or my client’s home. I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free. This includes following feeding schedules, regular walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping their pet’s environment clean, calm, and familiar. I also would provide updates, photos, and communication so owners feel confident and connected while they’re away. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, welcoming environment where they receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection. I’m mindful of each pet’s temperament and needs, whether that means giving energetic dogs lots of activity or providing a relaxed space for more laid-back or senior pets. Above all, I treat every pet like my own by prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times.
“Brian was amazing. We had a last-minute request over the holidays, and he truly saved us. He stayed at our home and took excellent care of our dog, King, who isn’t always the easiest, but Brian stepped in confidently and made it work without issue. Communication was great; he was always responsive and kept us at ease while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and a house left in great condition. We would absolutely book Brian again and highly recommend him to anyone on Rover.”
About: I'm patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog's individual needs, whether they enjoy long walks, lots of playtime, or simply relaxing with companionship. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies who need consistency and positive reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who require a slower pace, extra patience, and gentle care. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's a quick drop-in visit, a daily walk, or overnight care, I make it a priority to provide dependable, loving care while keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions so they can stay happy and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and affection while ensuring they're always supervised and secure.
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Parker! From the very beginning, she made me feel comfortable and confident that Parker was in great hands. She was attentive, caring, dependable, and treated Parker like she was her own. Parker was happy and well cared for when I returned, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s not always easy trusting someone new with your dog, but Sarah completely exceeded my expectations. I’m so glad we found her and will definitely be booking with her again. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Andrews AFB
Kayla did a great job for us, both housesitting and pet care (2 cats) for two weeks while we were traveling internationally. She is reliable, responsible, and an excellent communicator. The house was in great shape when we returned and she sent nearly daily updates on the kitties (with pictures) so we could travel without worry. I highly recommend her and will use her services again whenever we are away.
Sanai did a great job taking care of my pup. She was great with my dog and very respectful of my home. She communicated well with me while I was away. I recommend her sitting services. I will also be working with her to walk my pup when I return to in person work.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 9,841 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Andrews AFB. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Andrews AFB walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Andrews AFB maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Andrews AFB 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Andrews AFB. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
