“Our original pet sitter fell through the day prior to our week-long vacation. My wife and I were scrambling to find someone. Thankfully, Katherine accepted our request very quickly! Katherine took excellent care of our cat, was very responsive whenever we reached out, and sent daily photos and updates. We are incredibly grateful for Katherine’s help and will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Destanie was extremely attentive with our dog and cat while we were on vacation for a week. She sent cute pictures each day and made sure our fur babies got their medicine. She even maintained the litter box. I will definitely request her in the future. She made our vacation worry free”
About: I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been around pets my entire life. Growing up, I cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and needs. For the past four years, I have worked at Camp Bow Wow Airport in Metairie, Louisiana, where I have gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My work has taught me how to provide safe, attentive care, recognize pet behaviors, and ensure dogs are comfortable and happy while away from their owners. In addition to my professional experience, I have also dog sat for family and friends, giving me experience with in-home pet care and maintaining pets' daily routines. I am passionate about animals and committed to providing loving, reliable care so pet owners can have peace of mind while they are away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I currently care for three dogs and four cats of my own, so my days revolve around feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, exercise, playtime, and making sure all of my pets are healthy, comfortable, and happy. Caring for multiple pets has helped me become organized, attentive, and comfortable managing different personalities and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have worked at Camp Bow Wow Airport in Metairie, Louisiana, for the past four years. My job has given me valuable hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am responsible for monitoring their behavior, ensuring their safety, and providing attentive care throughout the day. Having grown up with dogs and cats, as well as caring for other animals such as hamsters and guinea pigs, pet care has always been a significant part of my life. Because animals are already part of both my personal and professional routine, I am confident in my ability to provide reliable, loving care and maintain a pet's regular schedule while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free. This includes feeding them according to their schedule, providing fresh water, ensuring they get appropriate exercise and playtime, and giving them plenty of attention and companionship. As the owner of three dogs and four cats, I am experienced in managing daily pet care tasks such as feeding, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and recognizing when something may be out of the ordinary. I understand that every pet has unique needs and preferences, and I make it a priority to follow any instructions provided by the owner. My four years of experience working at Camp Bow Wow Airport in Metairie, Louisiana, have given me additional experience handling dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I strive to create a safe, clean, and positive environment while keeping owners updated and giving them peace of mind that their pets are receiving quality care.
About: I’ve had dogs since before I could walk, and I’ve been around them my entire life. I have experience with all sized and tempered dogs, cats of different ages and even birds and farm animals. If there was a sitter to gush over your pet, it’s me! I work from home so I’m available any time. I will keep my schedule regularly updated. Let’s chat about what I can do for you and your fur baby! In my household I have one small dog named Rosie. She is free fed, we take a daily walk and she goes outside to potty or relax about 5/6 times a day. I really aim to focus on what each particular pet needs and enjoys to make sure they’re in the best care.
“Scott & Emily were awesome pet sitters for our 3 huskies! We are road tripping and wanted to explore nearby attractions while our pups were cool and relaxed back at our AirBnB. The pups received great care and even got homemade treats! Thanks so much!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bowie
Cleaned 2 litter boxes quicker than me! Very attentive, polite, nice. I was in a tough position whereas I needed to go to the ER and the pet person I had chosen and met was unavailable by phone so I had to scramble and find someone else asap and Alexandria stepped up, stopped at the grocery store because I needed cat food and milk (I paid her for it). She was wonderful!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bowie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 86 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bowie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
