“Kathy is a great rover sitter! We were so pleased with her. She sent us pictures and updates with each visit. She even went the extra mile of dressing our dog up like Santa Claus and giving her a special bone. We are so pleased with how she treated our house and dog. We will recommend her to everyone! Thank you Kathy for being respectful of our home and our little doggy baby!”

“We had a trip planned and had Brian watching our wild child (dog). We really appreciated him last min helping with our dog! He followed all instructions and took great care of Gemma!

About: We are Jeni and Ashlie- we have been loving dog parents who have experience caring for dogs for most of our lives. We have raised three rescue dogs together who aged from 10 to 14 years, with varying training and health needs. We are also experienced with sitting dogs for friends and family members, up to one month at a time. We are a family of 4 with two young kids who are not ready to commit to a dog of our own again, yet, and instead would like to spend time loving yours while you’re away! With us, your dog will be treated as one of our family members as long as they are with us. For in-home care, dogs must be friendly, well-behaved, potty trained, young children and family oriented. Well behaved means no digging, chewing or pottying in the home. While we have experience with territorial and reactive dogs, due to children in the home, there is a zero tolerance to aggressive behaviors towards children or people. We are experienced with dogs of all ages and sizes, and children will be monitored for positive interactions with dogs in our care. No cat care provided due to allergies. While we work full-time, we are lucky to work from home a few days per week. We also have a dog door if your pup is fully trustable with free roam in the backyard and house. Fenced yard - large yard; No other dogs in home, we have fish; Family environment; Dog door available, if appropriate; Can crate dog if preferred

About: Hi! Thanks for visiting my profile. I live in Englewood with my pitbull mix named Sampson, my tuxedo cat named Cleo, my corn snake, Ringo, and my 2 ball pythons, Onyx and Monty. It’s a zoo in my house and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have been an animal lover my entire life. I have pet-sat since I was about 11 years old, from lizards to horses to everything in between! I have about 15 years of experience owning dogs and am simply obsessed with them!! I can care for puppies to senior dogs and all other ages and breeds. I hope we make a good fit and I can care for your fur babies! My schedule is very random but flexible! I can care for your pets mornings or evenings, depending on the day. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings are very open and Tuesday & Thursday afternoons/evenings are open. I am very active so I can walk or run your dog based on its needs. I am also more than happy to give them love and cuddles if they prefer. I have a very friendly dog and a big fenced in backyard, if your fur baby needs to get some energy out/companionship they can come to my home to play in the backyard, or we can walk around the park or neighborhood or whatever their needs are.
“Irmak checked on our 2 cats while we were traveling and she is the best!! She gave them tons of love and play time each visit! She also sent a bunch of photos and we could tell they were so happy after each visit! We will definitely book her again the next time we travel!”
About: Please note the following when making a request: - If a drop-in visit will require your dog(s) to be taken out on a leash (not just let into your yard), my walk rate will apply - For walks and drop-ins, a 2 hr time range is required for each visit's arrival time I have had dogs and cats as pets from childhood, and have always been an all around animal lover. I used to work at PetSmart in the pet hotel. I worked there for a little over a year and it gave me a ton of valuable experience in caring for people's pets and facilitating friendly interactions between dogs. I currently work as a server Thursday-Saturday and am just looking for a side gig and would love to take care of people’s pets! I’m free Sunday-Wednesday and am available during the day as well as in the evenings. I am careful to never overbook clients to ensure that your pet is always given plenty of love and attention while you are away! I will always be careful to follow any instructions given by owners. Through my experience working with pets, I have become well-versed in dog behavior and am capable of noticing early signs of fear, aggression, and anxiety and know how to prevent these things from escalating.
About: I’ve always loved animals! I’m the resident pet sitter for all of my friends and family! I can’t wait to hang out with yours!! I currently work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. I can be available on weekdays when you’re at work or on weekends when you’re out exploring somewhere your little buddies can’t go! I have plenty of room in my car to take your pet to a park if there isn’t one in walking distance. I am happy to feed/walk your pets as often as you’d like and I loooove taking pictures for as many cute updates as you’d like!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bow Mar
Jordan is so thorough and caring. I completely trusted her with my kitties the moment that I met her and even more so after the care that they received. She checks in, sends photos, asks questions, and was genuinely concerned when one of my kitties never showed her face until the last day.
Holly was absolutely super with our two extremely shy kitties and even got them to come out of hiding for treats a couple of times during our absence. She is very conscientious about timing, excellent communicator, courteous and delightful to work with. Her love of pets shines through in all her words and deeds.
Natalie is one of our go to sitters! Not only does she do a great job at watching and taking care of our dog and cats, but she always reaches out with any concerns so we can address. She also provides great pictures that show our pets are happy and excited to see her! One specific call out - we originally only had a morning drop in visit booked. We anticipated on being back at a reasonable time in the evening to let our dog out and feed all of our pets. The hike took longer than expected, so we messaged Natalie and asked if she could do one more visit. She responded within 2 minutes and said she could do it. Obviously not something that can always be expected, but her communication and service even after the original service is phenomenal! If we could give 6 stars, we would.
Pilar did an amazing job taking care of my Jaci. She was loving, attentive, and made sure Jaci was happy and well cared for. I felt completely comfortable knowing Jaci was taken care of. I truly appreciate how well she took care of him and would definitely recommend Pilar to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pet. ❤️🐾
Todd did a great job taking care of our kitty "Sweet Pea"! Arrived home and our cat was relaxed and happy to see us. Todd efficiently managed the distribution of meds into her wet food, and sent us daily photos, which gave us peace of mind that she was in good hands. We highly recommend Todd for your petsitting needs,

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bow Mar is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 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 13,664 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bow Mar. 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 Bow Mar. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
