“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!!! ⭐️ ✨🌟💫”
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!
“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!!”
“Trishia looked after my two cats for a week. She's nice and responsible. Did everything I asked her to per the care instructions. She also sent me pictures of my cats every time she visited. Highly recommend.”

“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!”
“Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”
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.
“As always Ashley is the best with my cats! She's all the things! Friendly, responsive, and goes the extra mile. We will keep coming to her whenever I need someone to look after my chaos goblins.”
About: I’m a proud dog mom to my Maltipoo, Mylo, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I’m available most evenings and weekends, with additional weekday availability depending on my schedule. I am willing to work around your schedule for your pets care. For safety reasons, specifically regarding children and the other small dog they might interact with during their stay, I do not accept large or X-large breeds.!!
About: What sets me apart is my professional expertise as a groomer, which gives me a deep understanding of animal body language, stress signs, and safe handling. I am pet CPR certified and highly experienced in specialized care, from managing complex medication schedules and post-op recovery to providing the gentle, patient touch senior pets require. Pet care is just a natural part of my day. Since I work from home, I'm around to keep a close eye on everything. From keeping up with regular feeding and potty breaks to making sure meds are given right on time. For drop-in visits, I enter your home quietly to keep things calm, immediately tend to your dog's primary needs like fresh water and a potty break, and ensure your home stays completely secure and tidy before I lock up.
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.
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: Since my teenage years, I have taken care of various pets, cats, dogs, fish, turtles, frogs, birds, rabbits, and hamsters. In Denver, Colorado, I was assistant manager for a pet shop. We not only provided retail, but we provided play space washing, and grooming. I am looking forward to working with friendly only pets. I currently work my digital editing business part-time so I have ample time to add a pet in my daily routine. I am available daily from 4:30 AM until 10 PM. My preference would be to pet sit where they reside, but if a pet does need to stay with me overnight, they can expect a friendly, quiet, playful, safe place with three levels. There's also a dog park walking distance.
“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.”

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.

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.
