“Sarah did an outstanding job caring for our two Boston Terriers! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves dogs, and our girls absolutely adore her. She kept us updated, gave them lots of attention, and treated them like they were her own. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and will definitely continue using Sarah in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I've been a go-to pet sitter since I was 12, starting with dog walking as my first real job. Friends and family trust me so much they have referred me to others, and now I've got fur nieces and nephews all over the country. Whether it’s puppies or senior pets, I make sure they feel loved on and happy. Working from home gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my routine. I currently have a cat and share pet duties with my roommate, so I'm used to balancing responsibilities. Plus, I miss being more active, and pet care is a perfect way to stay active and enjoy time with furry friends. It’s a win-win for all of us! I like to learn the pets regular home routine & abide by the rules of the house. From there, it’s important for me to make the transition feel seamless. I give them a lot of love & reassurance especially if I sense their feeling anxious or confused. I also love to incorpore long walks and more active play time to help them expend some energy and hopefully soothe any anxiety. I would determine the right type of activities based on their temperament & guidance from their owner.
“Julia is amazing!! She is quick to respond and takes the most adorable pictures!! I also love the notes she leaves with each drop in. I would HIGHLY recommend her!! My dog absolutely loves her.”

“We were very happy with Delaney taking care of our sheltie and shih tzu. She accommodated a change in our initial schedule. She also sent pictures while were away to show the boys walking and playing. I appreciated the way the Rover app works with communicating when check-ins occur. We wouldn't hesitate to have Delaney take care of our boys in the future.”

“Jodi has been there for us time and again and has always done an exemplary job. We have one "escape artist" cat but she's never managed to get out with Jodi on the job!”

I love animals and would love to help out with your pets while you are away. Your pets are in loving, caring hands. I would treat your pets with lots of care and love because they are your family members. If you would love to have a caring person take care of your fur babies please contact me below. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask I am more than willing to answer them! I work remotely, my schedule during the day is open and really flexible. This is will allow me to visit your pets whenever during the day. I walk my dogs daily and provide them with a lot of love and care. I pay close attention to their body language and adjust if needed.

About: I've been caring for puppies and dogs for family members and friends for several years. My experience includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, maintaining routines, and providing lots of attention and affection. I've cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels, including young puppies that require extra patience, supervision, and consistency. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care so both pets and owners can feel at ease. I’m currently working a part-time throughout the week. My preferred times are 9am-2pm to take walks, feed, playtime, or medication. Staying overnight shifts, I would love to know 3 days in advance for planning. Also my hours for house sitting is 7pm-next morning mostly Friday - Sunday. Weekdays is a little hectic for me but if it fits my schedule or something changed, we can figure something out, just send a message! Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and closely follow each pet's routine and care instructions. I offer regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving attentive, loving care in a safe and comfortable setting. 🐾
“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: I’ve taken care of various different species of dogs and cats within my neighborhood and area since I was 10! I’ve always been an animal lover so many of my neighbors counted on me to take care of their fur babies! Within this years worth experience, I have learned to work with different species of dogs & cats! I am able to work with cats and dogs of different personalities, traits, needs, etc! Neighbors have relied and trusted me to feed, walk, bathe, spend time and show loving to their beloved pets! I’m currently a part time collage student but I still have a lot of time to play, care for and show so much love to your fur babies! I am available Monday, Wednesday, Thursdays, Friday, and Sunday after 12:30 pm!🧡 In my clients home, I always ensure the pets safety! I make sure to check surrounding and keep things out of reach that could harm the animal! I always make sure to introduce myself slowly as I am in their home and allow them to get comfortable with me at their own pace. I always ensure to go through and memorize their routines and feeding schedules. I always respect the home owners home as well and make sure it stays clean!
“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.”

About: I provide attentive, home-style dog care with a fully fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to play, relax, and settle in comfortably. I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic young dogs to seniors who prefer a slower pace. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once and have experience managing different feeding schedules, energy levels, medications, crate routines, and individual needs. I take introductions seriously and closely supervise interactions so everyone can get comfortable at their own pace. My goal is simple: I want your dog to enjoy being here. Whether they want to play in the yard, go for walks, hang out with the other dogs, or sleep on the couch most of the day, I adjust their stay around what makes them comfortable. I send regular photos and updates so you can actually enjoy your trip knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and having a good time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home for most of the day, which gives me plenty of time for regular potty breaks, supervised yard time, walks, play, and attention throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule around the dogs in my care and follow their normal feeding, medication, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. Whether your dog is energetic and wants plenty of activity or prefers to relax and lounge around the house, I’m able to adjust the day to what they’re used to at home. My home is set up to give dogs plenty of space to play, relax, and feel comfortable during their stay. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, potty breaks, and play, and dogs are never left outside unattended. Inside, I have enough space to give dogs separate areas when they need downtime, personal space, or a break from the other dogs. I carefully supervise interactions and introduce dogs at a comfortable pace rather than immediately putting everyone together. I’m also comfortable with crating when needed, following specific feeding or medication instructions, and maintaining the routines your dog is used to at home. I keep the environment clean and provide regular photos and updates so you always know how your dog is doing.

“Elizabeth was wonderful! We did 3 drop in visits and each one was done in a timely manner with all the focus on the kitties. Communication was a breeze and our cats were very comfortable the whole time!”

“Brandon was great! He was very Communicative and did very well with my diva-kitty! She’s not really personable but did very well with Brandon the moment she met him and you could notice her comfort increase daily in the pix uploaded by Brandon. I am pleased, and kitty is happy and healthy.”

“Alena is very attentive to all special request and handled my large dogs excellently! It is clear she loves dogs and I would highly recommend her for care for any of your furry friends!”

About: Over the past decade, being a pet owner and caring for the dogs of family members when they travel has highlighted a deep, unwavering devotion to dogs. From managing daily routines—feeding, walks, exercise, and health check-ups—to offering attentive, hands-on care when loved ones are away, this ten-year span reflects a clear commitment to animal well-being. Your connection with dogs goes beyond basic caretaking; it is built on patience, trust, and genuine companionship. Whether ensuring a pet feels secure, comfortable, and energetic at home or stepping in to provide family pets with a familiar, loving environment during out-of-town trips, your love for dogs shows through consistent loyalty, affection, and dedicated guardianship. I currently work Monday thru Friday from 9am to 5pm. I’m looking for mainly weekends. I can also make time as I am a pet parent myself. Every pet in your care receives attentive, structured, and loving attention every day. Daily routines are built around regular, energizing walks that keep them active, healthy, and engaged with their surroundings. Visits to local dog parks provide ample opportunity for exercise, social interaction, and open play. At home, that care continues with dedicated quality time. Whether playing, offering comfort, or simply providing a calm, reassuring presence, you ensure that every dog feels safe, cherished, and truly part of the family.

“Thank you for caring for our cats while we were traveling! You really made them feel happy, played with, and fed! We really appreciated you staying for the whole drop in visit and sending pictures as we were really missing them while we were away!!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have trained many puppies and older dogs alike. All my dogs have been rescues so I’m very familiar with dogs that have come from bad situations and dogs that are misunderstood because of their breeds. I’ve always had dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I’m always the first person my friends and family go to when they need some extra help with t dogs or just need someone to watch them while on vacation. I live on 10 acres which is perfect for those dogs that love off leash time but don’t get a lot, I love exploring new areas and have assisted in training dogs while in the military. I'm a stay at home wife who takes care of all our animals! I adore dogs and take mine on several walks a day around the farm, we have a creek that the dogs can swim in as well in the nicer weather. Pets are my passion and I love hosting others in my home and going out to other places to walk pets! I live on twelve acres and can offer a safe environment for dogs to safely play in, I have extra long leads so if your pup isn’t quite off leash trained they can still have an amazing experience with the long leads and all the land. I always follow whatever instructions are left for me as I know how important routines can be for a pet!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Burtonsville
Tyasia took such good care of our cats the first time that we needed a sitter that we rebooked her when we went on another trip! Booking was a breeze and she gave us fantastic daily updates of the kitties and sent photos. We have one cat who is quite fearful and hid, but Tyasia was able to find her hiding spot and leave her bowl and some treats nearby to ensure she was taken care of. We came home to two happy cats and we are incredibly grateful!

Nathalie is an outstanding cat sitter. We came home to very happy, healthy, and well loved cats. Nathalie was a great communicator about how our cats were doing and helped us work through getting them used to their new feeders. We loved the daily photos and the clear peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of so professionally.
Faith was amazing!! It’s always very anxiety inducing for me to leave my cats, especially since my one is very shy and easily startled. But she took such good care of them and even got my loner cat to come out for some love!! Faith is very communicative and I loved that she sent plenty of pictures each day. It’s obvious that she loves the cats and taking care of animals! I will not hesitate to book her next time I’m out of town :)

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.

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.
