“We were very nervous to leave our cat alone for a week. Haley was attentive and patient during the meet and greet. She was empathetic to our nervousness and sent extra pics during her drop ins to make sure we felt confident Albert was doing okay. We especially appreciated the pics of his food and water. She listened and followed our instructions, made sure both locks on our doors were secure, and we came home to a happy cat and a home in perfect order. Will absolutely be booking with Haley anytime we need care for Albert.”

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
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!
“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.”
“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 😊”
“Booking Ashley was super easy and she made this first experience with Rover completely painless. Ashley was flexible with our schedule and adjusted when our plans changed. She was helpful in cleaning up when our pet had an accident and left us notes and pictures in the app that left us feeling comfortable and confident that Milo was being well taken care of. We’d definitely book with Ashley again!!”
“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.”
“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”
“Ian was extremely quick to respond, thorough with all the details, very affordable and exceptionally flexible with our needs. Will absolutely use Ian again and highly recommend to anyone! ?????????”

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 16,883 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
- 96% 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.
