“John was fantastic! He kept us updated on what was going on at home and sent us pictures of the pets each day. He made sure the cats and Guiana pig didn’t miss a step in their routine while we were out of town. Fantastic experience! We will use him again.”

About: I have always loved caring for animals and have experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable. I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and giving pets the attention they need. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routine so they can feel right at home! I am available most mornings and on most weekdays, with flexibility when needed. I am also happy to care for your pets during holidays when you may need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel safe and cared for while you are away. I will always follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and provide plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I will treat them and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

About: My love for animals started the day a stray Bassett hound wandered into my garage at the ripe age of 4. Ever since then I have taken in all animals under my care as my own! I love take care of all the furry friends! I have personally owned puppies, big dogs, cats, fish, hedgehogs and gerbils - although not at the same time (could you imagine, yikes) and watched after the same! I have done any and all visits whether it is a quick play date or a longer visit due to vacation! I enjoy building a long term relationship to provide a dependable sitter throughout the year! I have a child in elementary school and work at a high school during the day. If and when an overnight sitter is needed, I assure you I make arrangements prior to accepting to give my 100% to your fur baby! I like to mimic the care the dog has at home to make sure they are most comfortable. In the beginning I expect normal hesitation, so I am patient and playful to earn trust until everyone is comfortable.

About: I have always grown up around all kinds of dogs, large and small. I understand they require times to not only go outside to use the bathroom but also get some energy out. I am always willing to spend some extra time with them to get energy out. I am currently working part time, therefore most weeks are rather predictable for me and I have time often in the mornings and evenings when pets are most needed to be cared for. Some days I have more availability than others allowing mid-day times as well. Being able to help out owners and pets is something I find enjoyable. All pets have different personalities and when caring for them in their own home I try to ensure I understand their body language to ensure safety for myself and the animal. Caring for the pet is what matters most to me, following what owners need for their pet is my top priority.

About: My time working a the trading and boarding kennel had allowed me to handle sometimes over a 100 dogs in a day, each one with different personalities and needs. Each time I would take them on their potty breaks I would make sure to lavish them in attention and play chase if they felt inclined. I also have monitored up to 10+ dogs together in group play, being very careful to watch behavior and know when a dog has had too much or needs a better playmate. I am also an experienced feeder that can create highly individualized meals and medicate dogs through pilling or hiding meds in food/treats. This also includes non-oral meds like ear and eyes drops as well as topicals. Before the kennel, I walked many neighborhood dogs, taking them for long 30+minute walks and ensuring they were fed and had water. I would stay and give them attention after their walks to keep them company if I was not spending the night. I have experience in using E-collar and commands as well. I mostly used commands for feeding purposes but I can also use them to stop bad behavior. Injuries can also occur not matter how careful one is, be it a broken nail, ear inflections, or cuts and scrapes. I have experienced this many times at the kennel and am apt at tending to said injuries should they occur. I’m currently working a part-time graveyard shift which still gives me a lot of time to play and interact with your pet. I am only 24 years old which allows me bounce my sleep hours around so I can still care for your pet. I work hard to slowly build trust with nervous dogs and give them all play time, pets, and treats (owner approved of course). If there are any special needs, like age or aggression, I take extra care to ensure everyone and dog is safe and secure around me.

“I give Bree a rating of 1000/10. This was the longest time (8 days) that we had to leave our curmudgeonly old-man behind and I was concerned, but Bree went above and beyond to make sure our Puppy Cat had companionship and felt loved. She kept in regular communication with us and reported in detail about each visit with him. She even provide photo evidence that he allowed her to touch him! I didn't think about it until I saw the pictures she provided, but she paid attention to the details during our initial meeting and I was especially pleased that our old man's food was handled how and where he was used to so it was one less disruption. We will definitely ask Bree to sit for us next time we need.”

About: Hi, I’m Jennifer. I’ve been caring for pets professionally since 2013, and I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and your pet’s routine. Care is built around patient, attentive care. I pay attention to the little things, from a dog’s favorite route to the way a cat likes to be greeted, so visits feel familiar and comfortable. I serve families in Charles, Calvert, and St. Mary’s Counties and are insured through Pet Sitters Associates. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life, both with my own pets and through Waldorf Walkers & Pet Sitting. I plan my week around scheduled walks and visits so each pet gets dependable care and plenty of attention. With over 13 years of professional experience, I understand how much consistency matters. Whether it’s a midday walk or care while their family is away, I make time for each pet’s individual needs—and a little extra love, too! I care for pets in their own homes, where they feel comfortable and can keep their familiar routines. For dog walks, I provide exercise at their pace, time to sniff and explore, fresh water, and plenty of affection. During pet sitting visits, I follow each family’s instructions for feeding, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they’re ready to play or need a little patience to warm up. After each visit, I send photos and an update so you know how your pet is doing. I also treat your home with care and make sure everything is secure before leaving.

About: I’m already someone who loves being home, going on peaceful walks, and keeping things cozy, so adding a furry friend to the mix just makes everything better. I treat pets like little VIP guests and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a routine that feels calm and predictable for them. I always try to match whatever your pet is used to so they feel safe and comfortable. If I’m watching your pet in your home, I keep their routine exactly how you have it. They will have their meals on time, daily walks, play breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m very detail-oriented, so I pay attention to the small things like their favorite toy, how they like to be greeted, or where they prefer to nap. If I’m caring for them in my home, they get a clean, cozy environment, lots of love, and a peaceful space to relax. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to what makes them feel happiest. I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own and give them spoiled-in-a-good-way kind of love. I’m patient, observant, and good with pets who may be a little shy or anxious. I have a patient personality and animals tend to trust me quickly. I’m also extremely reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’ve cared for a variety of pets from rambunctious puppies to senior dogs. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.

About: I have 6 years of experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. I provide attentive, loving, and reliable care while making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and plenty of attention and affection.

“Great pet sitter! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little skeptical at first; but Kathleen was very personable and accommodating. She made sure to update us the whole time we were away, and remained calm and collected when our home alarm went off and she had no way to reach us. She was very professional and Zoey absolutely loved her. Very happy with her services! 10/10 would recommend.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bull Run

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
