About: I’ve cared for dogs for over five years and currently raise a Border Collie/German Shepherd mix, so I understand high-energy breeds and puppy training. I’m consistent, patient, and attentive to routines. I have experience with crate training, basic commands, teething stages, and managing excitement around children. I treat every dog like my own and prioritize safety, structure, and plenty of exercise. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I already structure my days around my own dog’s schedule. I’m used to morning and evening walks, feeding routines, playtime, and weekly training sessions. I spend my work breaks playing with my own dog. I plan ahead and prioritize consistency, so adding additional pets to my routine feels seamless and well-organized. Safety is always my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep doors and gates secured, and maintain a calm, structured environment. I’m attentive to body language and behavior, especially with high-energy dogs, and I never leave pets unsupervised in unsafe situations. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and stick to all instructions to ensure their pet feels comfortable and secure. When walking dogs. I always make sure to be attentive and watch our surroundings
“Nicole has been amazing with our Nyla. We had to make a quick transition when our previous sitter needed to step away. She has come in and made fast friends with this lovable Presa pup! We look forward to seeing how this blossoms. Choose Nicole and your fur baby will be in great care.”
“Jessica was great even though Chuck was a bit timid and unhappy that I was not home … she did a great job giving him his pills and making sure he was ok … highly recommend !! Thanks so much”
“Amy did a wonderful job! She was so prepared and attentive, and patient with one of our cats who was nervous to meet a new sitter. We would love to work with her again and highly recommend to others!”

“We've used Heather twice and she is great! We really appreciate the pictures she sends of our cat while we are away. She is responsive and can trust that our cat is in good care with her.”
“Ziasia was a great dog sitter for my sweet Jaeda. Jaeda was walked and feed, brief updates were given with a photo. I was able to communicate with Ziasia as needed during my time away which was very comforting to me.”
“Great sitter. Spent time not just feeding but playing with my cat and ensuring he had interaction while I was away. While also being incredibly flexible with my work travel changes, easily earning 5 stars”
“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!!”
About: Hello experienced dog owner and sitter. I’ve grown up with dogs , as well as been a sitter for friends and colleagues for many years. I have trained my own animals with basic commands and I have had a show dog boxer breed. I currently own a chihuahua mix myself. She is my lil ray of sunshine! I’m a very routined and organized person, so I would like to maintain the schedule your pet is already accustomed to. I have relocated to the area from upstate NY recently to be closer to my parents . I have open availability. I would like to maintain a schedule your pet is accustomed to . I am very patient with our furry friends and as a dog owner myself understand the little or big personalities. We can always discuss what is comfortable for you and your pet .
“So nice to have a responsible, pet-loving sitter in the Pointer Ridge area. Jessica was amazing, 10 stars out of 5, truly. She was always timely, consistently sent at least two photos per visit, and went the extra mile by bringing packages inside (when we were out of town). Our day of departure didn’t go as planned and Jessica was very patient, flexible, and understanding. Again though, having someone on the P section of Bowie who could literally walk to our house for the sitting gave us that extra piece of mind. Already planning to schedule with her for the holidays.”
About: My schedule can be sort of flexible. I specialize in cats and frequently look after pets on military bases or in Active Duty families! Dog walks and house sitting is A-okay for me! If pet is located on Joint Base Andrew's, frequent walks and checkups are possible. Otherwise low maintenance animals are preferred as I'd only be able to check up in the afternoon/evening. I have a cat that I play with often. I cut his nails and bathe him weekly. Im aware that every animal is different so I'm flexible to different personalities and needs.
“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 been around dogs since I was six years old, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up, I helped walk, feed, bathe, and care for dogs of all ages and personalities. I also have experience looking after pets when they're not feeling well, including cleaning up after digestive issues and providing extra patience and attention. I've cared for cats as well, including those with medical conditions, making sure they're comfortable, following care instructions, and giving them the love and attention they need. To me, pets have always been more than animals—they've been like family, almost like my own brothers and sisters. I enjoy spending time playing with them, keeping them active, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own It gives me the freedom to continue to focus and work in school. I can be around animals which I love and adore. I’m happy. In my home I try to make sure they can go outside as much as possible. The times when I’ve had pets it’s been very important to me to emulate an environment that is similar to what they would find in the wildlife. It’s important to me the pets feel free and happy. Have enough space to stretch out. That they can enjoy their lives as much as I am enjoying them.
About: I’ve been a huge animal lover my entire life! I grew up with a family dog for 14 years, and for the last 2 years, I've been a cat parent to my own kitty, so I understand both dog and cat personalities. I’ve been the sitter for my friends and family whenever they go out of town. Plus, giving back to animals is super important to me; I've been volunteering at animal shelters since high school and still do today. Whether your fur baby needs lots of playtime, long walks, or just some cozy cuddles, I'll treat your baby like my own! My work gives me flexibility throughout the week. From Monday-Friday, I normally work in the office from 12-6pm. So, I am available for early morning and late morning walks before I leave, and I am back in time for dinner and evening care. My weekends are pretty open, so I have plenty of time for extended visits and walks. I follow all the rules and instructions you give me for both your house and your pet's care. Whether your pet has a specific feeding schedule, strict house boundaries, or a precise medication routine, I will make sure everything is done exactly the way you want it. Your home and your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities while you are away

Jessica took great care of Sylvia while I was out of town. It was a last minute booking as everyone I contacted were also out of town. We had a meet and greet super early because of my insane schedule but Jessica and her partner were super accommodating. Would definitely hire again.
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!!
Haley was an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Nami, while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure Nami was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my kitty was in good hands. I would absolutely trust Haley to watch Nami again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Jacki was a great joy to our two cats! We really appreciated her taking the time to get to know them and giving them space when they needed it. She is extremely knowledgeable and she was able to get the both of them to warm up to her quickly! Would recommend!
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.

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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
