About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as i can remember! House sitting, dog walking, petsitting, and dropping in- I have experience doing it all! Having two dogs of my own (and a bunny), my life has always revolved around getting to know the personalities of the animals around me and learning how they like to be loved. I am comfortable around all dogs! I’m happy to spend time with your anxious pup or your ball of energy! I’m currently working part time, and am home from college for the summer. I’m studying psychology and neuroscience and so I have a passion for the well-being of your pups! The safety of your pets is my main concern! I will care for your pets with care and respect- while keeping you in the loop! My camera roll is full of photos of my favorite animals to play with!
“Valerie was absolutely amazing!! She was really attentive and affectionate with my baby boy and she provided wonderful updates with pictures and videos. If you need someone to take care of your pet while you’re gone, she’s your girl! I give her 10 out of 5 stars!!! ⭐️ ✨🌟💫”
“Michelle was wonderful! She sent lots of photos and detailed updates, which gave me great peace of mind. My cat can be a little shy sometimes, but she absolutely loved Michelle! I highly recommend her and would happily book with her again”
About: Hi I’m Emily, I have had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable around animals. I’ve pet sat for family, helped with feedings, walking, and daily care. I also help take care of my senior dog with health issues, so I’m patient, attentive, and understanding of how to give extra care when needed. I truly love animals and will treat your pet like my own. I just graduated high school and I’m only working part time, so my schedule is pretty flexible, so I will have lots of time to give your pet love and attention! I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of playtime, care, and cuddles I always make sure pets feel safe, comfy, and loved. I follow all care instructions closely and pay attention to every little detail.

“Jessica is amazing! So friendly and knowledgeable, I feel so comfortable knowing my pups are taken care of while I’m gone. I love getting the daily updates and pictures too. Will definitely use her again”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I had a golden growing up for 15 years and now have a dog of my own! I love going on long walks with dogs who need it, playing fetch, and giving lots of scritches and love! No dog is too small or too big for me. Happy to accommodate anything your pet needs! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work in VA and living MD so I’m really all over the map. I would prefer any time after 3 but can also come in the mornings with enough heads up. I do not have a fenced in back yard but do have a nice trail to walk on and get some energy out. I also have a lead in the backyard to keep the dogs safe and not escape if they would like to roam freely. My coonhound has been just fine with the set up! I also have a crate if preferred. My dog is friendly with others and loves other dogs!
“My kitties loved Jill. She accommodated my cat's preference to eat early in the morning and arrived on time to feed and care for them. I felt secure that my beloved kitties were in good hands while I was away. She's ultra-efficient and a true pleasure to be around. We highly recommend Jill!”
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. The best part of my day every day is when I get to spend time with my furry friends. I currently work 12-hour shifts at a hospital three days a week. I have four days off every week that I am looking to fill spending time with animals. My schedule fluctuates so it will be difficult for me to have standing appointments, but I will know my schedule at least a month in advance. I have a fully fenced in yard with a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence, and three dogs of my own. They are treated like members of my family.
About: I have hands on pet care experience providing love, attention, feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship while ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy overall Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule. I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and lots of love and attention throughout the week. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. Whether they love long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing, I follow their normal routine while providing a safe, loving, and fun environment.
“Sandra took such great care of both our very large dogs and cat for ten days. Very detailed with her notes and consistent with pictures. They had long walks, play time , food bowl refresh and cuddle time. Couldn’t be more pleased for the love care and attention she provided to my fur babies.”
About: I am a dog handler for work and have been doing this job for 2 years now. I grew up with big dogs and cats my whole life, and have so much love and compassion for all animals. I am currently working full time with a monthly schedule change. 1st month I will work from 4am-5 pm. 2nd month I will work 8am-5pm. And my 3rd month I will work 4pm- 5am shift. I will sometimes have to leave the local area for work but will be notified in advance! My schedule can seem kinda crazy but I love to work! I currently live in an apartment and won’t be able to do any pet care in my home, but I have no problem with traveling to your home to let your fur babies out for walks, play time, feed and whatever else they need!
About: With over 15 years of experience, I am a caring, patient, and dedicated animal lover with a unique “dog whisperer” communication skill that helps me build trust and connection with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life, from playful puppies to senior companions, ensuring their specific needs are met with compassion and attention. I am responsible for the daily care of three wonderful dogs: a Presa Canario, an Akita, and a family member’s Welsh Terrier. Each day, I ensure they are well-fed, walked, and engaged with plenty of playtime to meet their physical and emotional needs. Managing two large breeds alongside a smaller, high-energy terrier requires understanding each dog’s unique temperament and energy levels. I tailor their routines to ensure they feel loved, secure, and fulfilled. Whether it’s a brisk walk, interactive play, or simply giving them the attention they crave, I’m committed to providing them with the care and companionship they deserve. My services include personalized walking routines, tailored feeding schedules, and administering medication with precision and care. Whether it’s a high-energy walk, a comforting cuddle, or specialized care, I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, loved, and happy while ensuring their overall well-being. Your furry family member will be in trusted hands!
About: I'm an animal lover who's grown up with multiple family members who owned dogs and have had my own German Shepherd for years since puppyhood! Well versed in caring for, walking, and enjoying company of pets. I'm a college student currently working part-time and studying for the LSAT, so I have a fairly flexible schedule that can work well for you! My approach would be to try to provide structure to the animals while following the rules and preferences of the clients. I've found my own dog is the happiest when provided efficient stimulation, so I would want to provide that for any pets I was sitting.
“Alayja was amazing with my cat during her drop in visits. She went over and beyond for him and always responded quickly to any questions I had. I will definitely be rebooking with her.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bowie
Robin was is so sweet and our pup just loved her company! She sent updates and pictures to let us know when she arrived/left, and also asked if we needed her to do anything else before she left. We came home to a happy pup! We hope to keep working with Robin in the future.
We are so appreciative of Chris being avail to pop in on our Lil big guy during the holiday. He was great from the communication, the photos he sent and giving big baby some tlc which I'm sure he enjoyed. We'd definitely recommend Chris and look forward to reaching out to him again.- Thanks Chris!!
I cannot recommend Sarah B.enough. From the very first message, their communication was clear, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. They treated my pet like family, patient, attentive, and genuinely caring the entire time. I received regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave me total peace of mind.
Trishia was fantastic!! As a new mom of a diabetic pup it’s a bit of a learning curve figuring out how to properly administer insulin. I scheduled Trishia for a drop in and she so gracefully gave me tips and tricks to help the process be more comfortable for Faye and I in the future! I will absolutely be booking her again in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Bowie stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Bowie 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 Bowie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
