“Trishia did a great job, caring for our lovable 4 legged family member. She easily accepted the challenge of some of our pup's high maintenance needs and provided great feedback so we felt completely relaxed while away.”
“This is our second time hiring Kathryn this holiday season! She’s reliable, quick to reply to messages, and great with our cat (who is selective when it comes to friendship!). Would highly recommend!”
About: I have watched dogs and cats for the past 2 years. I’ve always loved animals and bonding with them! I love dog walking and playing with dogs outside to make them happy. I am very good with caring for dogs and making them feel loved! I am not working another job but I do have practice most nights during the week. However, during the day I will always be around unless I am at the gym or running an errand! I have a fenced yard and 2 very friendly dogs. I take them out every 3 hours and keep a routine schedule of when to feed them. Any dog is able to sleep in my room and bed if they would like.
About: Hi! My first gift as a baby was a white german shepherd named Pepper that I grew up with and I've been a dog owner ever since. Friends even brought me a stray found on campus at GWU, Wiggles. He was our house mascot. And I've owned and cared for dogs ever since. I started rescuing dogs in 2010 in Oakland. I found forever homes for 13 dogs. Your dog will be safe, made comfortable and well cared for by me. I'm happy to care for senior dogs or puppies and anyone in between. I am attentive. Responsive to them and focused to obey your instructions concerning your fur baby. I want them to be happy while you're away and I want you to be comfortable while they're in my care. Most of all, if anything happens, I know how to respond quickly. My 12yo Weimaraner Gideon passed away during the pandemic. I've been fostering. This just seems like another way for me to play with and care for a new dog until I get another one. I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I'm a professional writer and program developer so my schedule is flexible which makes caring for your dog and its needs really easy. I am able to maintain whatever schedule you've established at home. Your pet will have full run of the house and will be encouraged to make themselves at home. Their crate and food/water will be set up in places where they can be seen and made comfortable.
“Ashley did a fantastic job once again taking care of our numerous pets. Her reliability and expertise were such an asset when we had a challenging situation arise. We were so thankful for her efforts!”
About: I've spent years dog sitting for family and friends, caring for dogs with different energy levels, and routines. I'm patient, calm, and very attentive to details especially important for anxious dogs, seniors, or pups who thrive on consistency. I follow care instructions closely, prioritize safety and comfort, and focus on creating low- stress, familiar environment. My goal is aways to help your dog feel secure and well cared for while giving you peace of mind. I work from home mostly only going into the office once a week. My schedule is pretty flexible where I can step away for walks and potty breaks! I treat them as if they were my own with love and care. I'm patient as well so if I know certain details about the dog, I adapt to cater to their needs.
“Excellent experience with Briana. She communicates well, shows up in time & is friendly. You tell that she really cares about our pet. It was our first time with Rover and Briana and it was a wonderful experience. We could not be happier!”
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring small rescue dogs. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medication if needed and providing plenty of love and attention. I work full-time from home on weekdays, so your dog will enjoy plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I treat every dog as if they are part of my own family. My home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, providing a peaceful environment with minimal traffic. I have a big, fully fenced backyard with locking gates and security cameras.
About: Hi, I'm Hela. I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I work from home, meaning your dog will never be left alone and will get full attention. I live near local walking trails in Bowie, have an unfenced yard, and send photo updates during every stay. I treat every guest like my own family. Message me to set up a meet-and-greet! I am currently available full time to give every attention and love to your pups. I am available from Monday to friday and sometimes flexible for weekend care. I have a two level house that your pup can move and play in. I also have an unfenced back yard, and the park is within walking distance from my house
“Sandra is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to care for our pets and communicated consistently . Our older dog had stayed with the vet because she was sick and we realized that upon our return from vacation the vet would close earlier than our arrival. Sandra not only took care of our younger dog and cat but also picked up the older one from vet and brought her home. I can tell she loves her job and my fur babies truly enjoyed being cared for by her . Second time using her and plan to continue doing so for long term travel!”
“Diana went above and beyond with caring for my cat. I was a little worried leaving my cat for a week, but my worries were elevated with her care. She always sent me photos and descriptions of what her drop in entailed and I was happy to know he was being well cared for!”
About: Hi! I'm a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment where your pet can feel at home while you're away! I have dog sat for family, friends, and even neighbors for a little over 4 years now! I’ve always wanted a pet myself but never had a chance to so I disperse my love and affection for all pets! I understand that every pet has different needs between playtime, walks, needing a specific schedule. I will make sure that whatever the need may be, I will follow it as closely as possible so that they can feel as comfortable as possible. I believe that communication is very important so I will always provide updates, pictures, and etc so that you can have peace of mind at all times! My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work with the government on a schedule where I choose the days and times that I work! Shifts are not available everyday so in the free time that I have, I love to pet sit! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a calm, supervised environment and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. There are no other pets in my home and no children present! Pets can be crated if needed and they are not often left alone (if cannot be left alone at all then your pet will not be left alone!).
“Alyia has been such a great sitter for my puppy Snoopy. This is my husband and I’s first dog together and so we were very cautious trying to find the perfect fit and Snoopy couldn’t be happier with Alyia. Not only does she follow all of our specifications for Snoopy’s health issues, she also gives him so much snuggles and play time. He barely misses us when we’re gone! She also is incredibly communicative and sends pictures/videos and texts during each visit. The most impressive part about Alyia is her professionalism, care for our home when we’re gone and was even willing to babysit my neighbors kids with Snoopy for an afternoon. She’s truly a star!!!”
About: I’ve had pets in my household for as long as I can remember, they’ve always been part of my life. Right now I share my home with a cat I adore. Animals have my whole heart, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I treat every pet like family my own included because to me, they’re not just animals, they’re my kids. If you trust me with your pet, I promise they’ll get the same unconditional love I give my own. I work a hybrid schedule, typically in the office just 1-2 days a week. That means I’m home most days and able to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day, not just quick check-ins before and after work Safety is second nature to me, I’ve had pets since childhood and know exactly what foods and everyday items are dangerous for dogs and cats. I’m also no stranger to handling the unexpected. I’ve faced situations where something happened to one of my own pets, and I’ve had to think fast and act quickly to keep them safe. Whatever comes up, you can count on me to stay calm, resourceful, and ready to jump into action.
About: Having taken care of a precious Springer Spaniel for 14 years (Cocoa), I'll do my best to take care of your dog as if he or she were my own. I'm usually quite responsive when it comes to bookings and arrangements, responding within 15-20 minutes. I'll take them out to play and walk and feed them at least three times a day. I'll also bathe them, if need be. Most importantly, I will be as flexible and accommodating as possible to ensure that your dog will have fun while with me. I currently have open availability in my schedule, so I could most definitely sit your dog full-time if necessary. Above all else, I just love working with dogs as they are my favorite animal.

Alison was fantastic with our dog, Rosy! She was so kind from the moment we met for the meet and greet! Alison has a great communication style that allowed us all to make sure we were on the same page with regard to Rosy. Throughout the booking, I know Rosy was well cared for, walked, and loved on while I was gone. I received lots of picture update photos, which I always enjoyed! I really appreciate Alison for being such a wonderful and reliable Rover sitter. We will absolutely book again with her in the future!!
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .
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 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.

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 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.
