Ruby took excellent care of our two cats and was very prompt with responses. She also took care of our cat food auto-ship delivery when that arrived. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone.

This was the first time I used Rover and someone I did not know to take care of my dog. Sydni did more than take care of my pup, she took care of my worries. She was so thoughtful in the texts. Matrix was beyond happy. I would use her anytime. It was easy to meet with her, and she kept me updated twice a day on how he was. She cut the walks short if it was too hot outside, considered how he might react with the fireworks, just incredibly caring.

About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 13, when I was gifted my first pup and he’s been my best friend ever since. Taking full responsibility at a young age taught me how to truly love, care for, and understand dogs. Now, seven years later, he’s happy, healthy, and thriving with a solid routine. Over the years, I’ve also become the go-to dog sitter for my family. I regularly care for three family dogs, all with unique personalities and breeds, and I enjoy every second of it! No matter the size, breed, or temperament, I’m here to help give your dog the love, care, and attention they deserve when you need an extra hand. I’m currently available all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as weekends. I may also be available for evening walks after 5:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays—just reach out and we can work something out! I’m flexible, reliable, and always happy to adjust to meet your and your dog’s needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or an occasional visit, I’m here to help your pup stay happy and cared for! I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on surroundings during walks, and give plenty of attention, play, and love to help your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and know how to take care of them. I’ve had a dog of my own until he passed away recently. The care and safety of your pets is my top priority. I believe in effective communication, so I will try my best to keep you updated throughout the process. I follow all my clients’ instructions and preferences, so you don’t have to worry about your home while you’re away; I make sure everything is locked up, treat your belongings with respect, and leave your home just as you left it so you can come back without extra stress, especially knowing how exhausting travel can be. I work fully remote so I work from home, so I can pack up and stay in your home whenever I'm available. I tend to adapt my daily schedule around my new roommates' schedules, so they don't get stressed out by the situation. I can also be of assistance for drop-in visits and for walking service. I work currently from Sunday to Tuesday so from Wednesday to Saturday I’m available to take care of your pets in whatever need they may have. I am unable to care for your pets at my home since my apartment doesn’t allow pets. Thank you for understanding. However I’m willing and able to care for them at your home.

About: I genuinely love dogs and enjoy adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m a very active person who loves being outdoors, so I’m always happy to go on long walks, play, and keep energetic dogs engaged. At the same time, I’m patient and calm, which helps dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether your dog wants an adventure or just a companion to hang out with, I’m happy to be exactly what they need. As a recent college grad, I currently have a very flexible schedule, and I am taking some time during the summer before starting the next chapter of my career pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and being outdoors whether it’s going for walks playing or simply keeping a pet company care for animals is something I find rewarding and look forward to. When caring for pets, I like to follow the routine they are already used to so they feel safe and comfortable. I thrive with structure, so I appreciate clear instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications for feeding, or any special needs. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in their home, my goal is to be present, attentive, and give them the care they need.

About: Lifelong dog lover who grew up with a playful Bichon! Experienced caring for both small and large breeds through dog walking and pet sitting for friends (anything from German Shepherds to Maltipoos). I also have experience caring for puppies as well as older, blind, and sick dogs, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they require. I recently graduated from college and currently babysit part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m a morning person who loves getting outside early, and I try to walk 10,000–20,000 steps every day. I genuinely enjoy long walks, staying active, and spending time outdoors, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’m happy to provide dog walking services and spend time playing with and caring for pets in clients’ homes while following their normal routines and any special instructions. At this time, I do not offer boarding or pet care in my own home.

About: Your dog will be like family when staying with us. We have a Redbone Coonhound mix pup (8/1/22) and a Weimaraner (3/24/23) that loves to play with other dog visitors. We are an active family that likes to get outside, go on walks and play in the yard. Your doggy will be tired by the end of the day after playing with us. Treats are plentiful and lots of love and attention are given. I’ve been around dogs all my life and started off watching dogs in their homes, to dog walks, to having our own dogs, to now boarding in our home. Our dogs are like our children and yours will be treated the same when he/she comes into our home. Any dog we board must be comfortable around kids and other dogs. Crate trained preferred. Any aggressive behavior, we will have to cancel stay early. All furry friends must be up to date on their shots, heartworm and flea/tick meds. My husband and I both work, but have different hours, so that someone is home most of the time. The longest we would be gone would be 4 hours. We have lots of space to run outside in our fenced in yard. Your pup will be tired by the end of the day here!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Burtonsville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 17,572 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Burtonsville. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Burtonsville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
