“Amy took care of our cat Simba on very short notice and sent us pics everyday! He is an indoor/outdoor cat but we wanted him kept inside while we were away and Amy was even able to not let him sneak out! Thanks so much Amy”
“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.”
“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Jodie is absolutely amazing with my senior cat! She makes sure my cat is well loved and taken care of (and makes sure she gets her meds which is a challenge on its own). My cat loves her. I can’t say enough positive things about Jodie!”

“Candice is AMAZING!!! She has a genuine love and heart for fur babies. Jace & Candice instantly connected during their 1st meet and greet 💙 She was very interested in understanding everything about Jace from his habits, the food and treats he likes most even his favorite toys! Such a comfort to know that our boy Jace would be in the care of such a loving sitter. Candice shared updates and photos while we were away and made sure that Jace was happy. Thank you sooooo much Candice, we cannot wait to have you care for Jace again. Welcome to the family 😊”
“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: 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
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Bowie is $20

Jessica was fantastic! I was having a challenging time finding a sitter available and she quickly volunteered. When she came for the meet and greet with Sylvia (cat), Jessica managed to get some pets in! This never happens with new people; she’s definitely a pet whisperer. She also provided great updates, photos, and gave me an update on the status of my apartment because of the storms. I definitely recommend her.
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!
We were looking for a cat sitter and chose Heather based on her excellent reviews. I’m very happy to give her a five‑star rating. She communicated quickly, was reliable, and took wonderful care of our cat, Bags. I highly recommend her. This was my first time using the Rover app, and I will absolutely use it again. I appreciated the notes and photos they send during each visit, and I’m very happy to recommend Heather. We plan to book her again for our next trip.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Bowie on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 16,808 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bowie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bowie. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
