About: I have experience taking care of both dogs and cats in a responsible and consistent way from a young age. My best experience is from my pet Louise who is a pit mix, I learned a lot from this when it comes to handling different behaviors and needs as this was the first animal that was my own and not a family dog. I grew up around both big and small dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I’m also a very active person, so I can keep up with walks, playtime, and outdoor exercise without any issue. I make sure dogs are fed on time and get the attention and structure they need. Overall, I’m reliable, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Im currently working at a job with flexible scheduling. I have a pretty free schedule especially in the mornings and after 1:30pm. I’m off on weekends. Safety, trust, and environment are a big part of how I care for dogs. I always make sure I understand their routine and any boundaries before anything else, so they feel secure with me. I stay aware on walks, keep them on safe routes, and watch their body language so nothing gets out of control. I’ve grown up around dogs so I’m comfortable handling different temperaments, and energy levels. Building trust is important to me, so I stay calm, consistent, and patient with them instead of rushing anything. I also make sure their environment feels stable, clean, comfortable, and familiar so they’re not stressed while their owners are away. I pay attention to details like doors, food, water, and anything they could get into just to keep everything safe. Overall, I treat every dog like they’re my responsibility and make sure they feel secure, understood, and cared for.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and have always been around them, even as a child. My family owns a senior 70-lb golden retriever, and while I was in graduate school for two years, I had the opportunity to care for him full-time while my family was traveling. I handled his daily walks, trips to the dog park, playtime and socializing with other dogs, and, of course, plenty of cuddles and companionship! I also have a furry five year old mixed husky and alaskan malamute and she is right around 65lb so I’m comfortable with larger dogs (or any size for that matter) and genuinely enjoy spending time with them! More than anything, I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and want them to feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me. I just graduated from Physician Assistant school and am looking for a part-time job while I wait for my position to start in January 2027! I have a very open schedule from Monday-Friday and some weekends. I will prioritize every dog's safety, comfort, and routine. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own environment. I’ll provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh water and anything else they may need. I’m a very organized person and will be respectful of your home and keep everything clean and tidy! Most importantly, I’ll treat your furry companion with the same care, patience, and love I would give my own!

About: When your pet is with me, they immediately become apart of our family. Playtime is out of this world, Routines are followed and cuddles are a priority until you’re reunited with your fur baby. I’ve cared for dogs, my entire life so loving on them is second nature. **UNAVAILABLE 9/5-9/9** I work from home until 10 PM but work can follow me. Your pet’s care will include frequent visits up to 4 times a day including walks, playtime and feedings I have a fenced in back patio for your pup to soak up the sun. I also live in the first floor and have no other dogs or kiddos so hopefully your pup likes solitude as much as I do.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all different sizes, energy levels, and personalities since I was 9 years old. I grew up in a home with six dogs, including an Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, English Bulldog, Husky, Pitbull mix, and Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and their individual needs. I recently moved into my own apartment and now have an Australian Shepherd puppy of my own! I’m experienced with walking, bathing, feeding, playing with, and comforting dogs, and I truly love making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m a nurse, so my schedule can vary from week to week, but I always keep my Rover availability updated! I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I provide personalized care based on your pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, bathing, and medications if needed. I’ll follow any specific instructions you leave for me and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, I’m comfortable adjusting my care to whatever works best for your pup!

About: I’ve never not had a pet in the house! I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years, including small dogs, big dogs, elderly dogs, high-energy dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I’ve also dog-sat for many families and worked as a kennel technician for two years while living in Charleston, giving me plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m currently working part-time as a nanny while I prepare to move, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m looking to fill some of that extra time with something I genuinely love: spending time with and caring for pets! I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home and keep them on their normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.

I’m reliable, responsible, and compassionate, ensuring your pets get the attention, affection, and structure they deserve. You can always count on me for open communication and updates, so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and loved. ❤️ I am a current pet owner so pet care is always a part of my daily schedule.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Blythewood on Rover is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 1,084 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Blythewood. 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.

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 Blythewood 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!

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.

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 .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Blythewood with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 91% 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.

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.
