About: Hi Im TJ, a lifelong dog lover who truly understands how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ve been there myself, and that’s exactly why I joined Rover, to offer pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is safe, loved, and well cared for. My Care Philosophy: I treat every pup I care for like my own, with patience, affection, and attention to their comfort and well-being. I work from home full-time, which allows me to be very hands on and present throughout the day. Whether your pup is energetic or laid back, I’m able to match their vibe and provide a safe, nurturing environment. I have experience with administering medication, puppies and elderly dogs. In my home, I specialize and care for small and medium sized pups. I’m focused on quality care, I make sure each pup has a comfortable, cozy setup. I understand that every pup is unique, so I follow their established routines as closely as possible to help reduce any stress or anxiety. What to Expect •Constant supervision and companionship •Lots of playtime, affection, and mental stimulation •Regular walks, potty breaks, and updates to you •A calm, pet-friendly home environment • Crate-Trained Canines Only Your pup must be crate-trained because we serve meals and naps in their cozy "doggy suite." While you’re away I’m here to make your pup feel at ease, cared for, and loved. As someone who works from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to consistent potty breaks and cuddle sessions. Pet care is naturally built into my routine, so your pup will never feel alone or overlooked. I also keep their spaces clean, cozy, and calm to make them feel right at home. In my home, I provide a clean, calm, and structured environment where dogs feel safe and loved. I follow each pup’s routine closely, offer regular potty breaks, playtime, quiet rest, and use crates for overnight safety and comfort in line with Rover Trust & Safety guidance. For drop in visits, I make sure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention while keeping their home routines consistent and stress free.
About: Hi! I’m a reliable and active dog walker who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a longer outing, or just some attention during a drop-in visit, I’m here to help. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether that’s high energy exercise or a slower, relaxed walk. During drop-in visits, I can also handle feeding, fresh water, playtime, and quick updates so you know everything is going well. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’m available everyday of the week unless there is conflict. I’m very flexible and can work with whatever time works best for you . No time is too early or too late I respect the owners home and make sure to stay where I belong . I make sure the pet is safe and visible . I like to keep them engaged and play with them .
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember! Friends and family have always noticed my natural connection with animals and have trusted me to care for their beloved pets. Through pet sitting for friends and relatives, I've enjoyed getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet! I'm always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet so we can get acquainted, discuss your pet's needs, and make sure we're a great fit. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! 🐾 I work full-time, Monday through Friday, and am generally available for pet care starting at 5:30 p.m. on weekdays. I have two work-from-home days each week, which can offer some additional flexibility depending on my schedule. My weekend availability varies, so please feel free to reach out and we can see what works! For overnight stays, I'm happy to discuss your pet's routine and make sure my work schedule is a good fit for their needs. 😊 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! Having grown up with dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of their needs, behaviors, personalities, and the care it takes to keep them happy and healthy. I'm comfortable with the day-to-day responsibilities of dog care and understand that every dog has their own unique personality and routine. In addition to caring for my own dogs throughout my life, I've also pet-sat for friends and family, giving me experience caring for dogs in different homes and making sure they're safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I'd want someone to give my own. 🐾
“Taresse was wonderful!!! I was so anxious about leaving my senior cat Martha for a long international trip. Taresse sent me wonderful photos of her every day that put my heart at ease. I will definitely be requesting her care for Martha again. Thanks!!!”
About: I have 2 cattos, Poppy and Percy. I've grown up with a dog and plenty of other critters, guinea pigs, gerbils, fish and turtles. I'm a professional photographer, and my kitties are my main subjects. I am comfortable watching people furry babies and giving them the attention they want. I've spent my weekends watching my sisters 3 doggos when I lived closer to her. I'm currently working part time and my schedule is flexible during the week. I will have weekend availability for pet visits. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I like to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Over the years I've helped friends, family members, and neighbors with cat & dog care, ranging from walks to playtime and feeding. I am comfortable with reinforcing good behavior and obedience training. I work remotely most days, so I'm able to arrange regular times to care for pets, whether it's a mid-day walk, feeding breakfast or dinner, or administering medications before bedtime. I make sure all pet-accessible areas remain safe and clean. I do regular checks for hazardous items and clean up any accidents. If any toys or bedding become damaged to the point that they could cause harm to a pet, I secure them away from the pet and notify the owner.
About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Wherever there was a dog, that’s where I would be! I’ve had experience caring for newborn puppies to elderly dogs. I’ve cared for a litter of 6 puppies at a time and dog sat 5 energetic dogs. I am also pet first aid certified. I take caring for our furry friends very seriously! I am currently working part time and going to school 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to take care of pups. I have a flexible schedule so I am open to walking and sitting during various hours of the day. I live in a town house with 1 adult, a dog, and two younger kids( A family of 4). My pup loves dogs and gets along tremendously well with other dogs. If have a variety of crates so if need be I would be able to separate the dogs. There are also multiple rooms in the house so is your pup isn’t a big fan of children they would be able to stay separate. As far as dog sitting in a clients home, any instructions that are given will be followed.

I can tell she spent quality time with them after feeding, the difference in their temperament after coming back is very noticeable. Your cats deserve Martha, I will definitely book her again.”

Madeleine was wonderful! She was available at the last minute, very flexible, and had great communication throughout the process. She took excellent care of my dog and made the entire experience stress-free. I really appreciated her responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our needs. I would definitely recommend Madeleine and would happily book with her again!
Shanae was wonderful for her first visit with our special girl! We really appreciated starting with a meet and greet—it gave us a chance to get comfortable with one another and made the first walk feel seamless. She was warm, professional, and dependable, and she even went above and beyond by cleaning up a small mess on our carpet. I was also incredibly grateful that she accommodated a last-minute request. It’s clear that Shanae genuinely cares, and we’re thankful to have found her. Highly recommend!
Very grateful for Majdoline. My cats warmed up to her very quickly and she went above and beyond to follow my instructions thoroughly and precisely. I felt very confident leaving my home and cats in her care and appreciated all the photos and updates. Will definitely be reaching out again for my next trip.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Annapolis Junction is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 16,261 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Annapolis Junction. 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 Annapolis Junction. 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.
