“Jodi was exceptional and took wonderful care of our two senior kitties while we were away. She asked thoughtful questions, was alwayd qucick to respond, and just the easiest person to get along with! We look forward to booking her for future cat sittings. :)”
“Stefany was great with our pets. They all came out to visit her, which doesn't happen to all care providers. She was friendly and professional to us and very loving to the kitties.”
“Geny was dependable, dedicated and very informative while caring for my dogs. She encountered several hiccups which she responsibly worked to correct and my dogs, one of whom is very skittish, love her!”
“I love how consistent Taresse was with her reports as she was watching my dog 3 times a day for over one week. I got a report with multiple pictures for every visit, which was a must for my peace of mind!”
“Matilda did a great job checking in on my dog. I love that she initiated a pre-walk-through to make sure that she had a good understanding of what to do. She sent pictures and detailed updates which I really appreciate it.”
“I had an excellent experience with Sarah. She was completely reliable and approached the job with real professionalism, even managing smoothly through some challenging weather while I was away. Communication was consistent and reassuring, and she followed every instruction carefully. Most impressively, our cats — who are usually slow to trust new people — warmed up to her right away, which says a lot about her calm and attentive manner. I felt very comfortable knowing our home and pets were in capable hands. I would highly recommend her services and already have her booked again in the coming months.”
“Hayley was amazing! Arrived early/on time and took lots of pictures. We asked for help on short notice and she delivered! We came home to a happy dog and cat. Will definitely use her again!”
“This is our second time booking with Alex, and she’s been wonderful both times! She’s reliable and great with both our cats and chinchillas. We really appreciate her updates and attention to detail during drop-in visits. Highly recommend!”
“Sabine was phenomenal with my two guys as always—they love having her visit and she is always reliable for playing with them the entire time. She also provides detailed, informative updates and fantastic photos. I’m so glad we found Sabine! Thank you for taking such good care of my kitties!”
“Marion is absolutely wonderful. She is always quick to respond, takes amazing care of my Luna Tuna, and clearly has a genuine love for what she does. As a bonus, she even loves plants. I could not recommend her more.”
“We’ve had Astrid cat sit for us 4 times now and she is THE BEST!! She is so sweet and accommodating, trust worthy, and you can tell she really loves and adores our animals. She also sends the cutest pictures. If you are wondering whether or not to book her, DO IT!! She is so wonderful. Thanks Astrid :)”

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 Burtonsville 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Burtonsville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Burtonsville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
