About: Hi, I’m Elysia! Nice to meet you! I’m new to Rover, but not to taking care of pets! I’m a recent college biology graduate preparing for medical school and I’ve been taking care of my neighbor’s pets since I was in middle school. I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats (young & old & many different breeds) for multiple days, including overnight sitting and of course, drop-ins and going on walks! I would love to be your next sitter and your pet’s new friend!! I’m currently in an accelerated graduate program, so my weekday schedule can be busy. I’m generally available for early-morning walks and overnight stays, with more flexibility on weekends! I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe and loved while you are away! I will treat them like family, follow their usual routine, respect your home, and send regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease!

“Courtney and Lily were wonderful hosts for Tuley and were even able to accommodate our last minute request. I can’t say enough great things about Courtney - she’s kind, caring and treats my dog as if she were her own. She’s also flexible so pick up and drop offs are super easy. I can’t recommend her enough. And I say that as someone with a dog that can be reserved around new people and dogs. While Tuley has met Courtney before and absolutely loves her, this was her first time meeting Lily. Tuley was a bit unsure of Lily’s puppy energy at first, but Tuley warmed up to Lily pretty quickly. I know they had a blast at the dog park and playing all weekend long, because Tuley fell asleep as soon as we got home. I’ll definitely be sending Tuley to Courtney’s next time we travel.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience walking dogs and providing overnight boarding. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with plenty of attention, I’ll make sure they receive the care they deserve. I treat every dog as if they were my own, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family member. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and providing a fun, safe, and loving experience! I’m currently a full time student with availability most mornings, Tuesdays and Thursdays afternoons. My dogs are away living with my family so I would love to take some time off work to take your dogs on a walk and enjoy some play time with them. I’m unable to offer pet care in my home because my building doesn’t allow dogs. When taking dogs on walks, I always follow each client’s guidelines and preferences. I’m happy to be flexible and tailor each walk to your dog’s routine and needs.

About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and children. While living in Colorado, I worked as a dog walker and nanny for families with large dogs and young children. Most of the dogs I cared for were medium to large breeds, and my experience ranges from puppies to senior dogs. Since moving to the DC area, I have continued working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also live with a cat at home, so I am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting visits. At this time I am not able to host pets in my home, but I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends, allowing me to accommodate consistent routines as well as last-minute or varying pet care needs. At this time I do not have the space to accommodate pets in my house, but I have transportation to do drop-ins and house calls.

About: Four years ago I adopted a corgi named Pippin. When I got him, I did not know his history or what environment he was raised in. He came to me incredibly reactive to other dogs, but over time I was able to train him to handle encounters in a safe manner. For the next few years he will be living with my wife while she attends grad school. I would love to care for your dog until my little guy comes back home. I will provide personalized and attentive care to your pup the way I would for my own Pippin. I work an M-F office job that is 10 minutes from my apartment. My evenings and weekends are completely free, but my job still allows me to come home midday to check on your pup if you need any weekday care. My apartment is incredibly pet friendly. My own dog is living with my wife while she attends grad school so I will be able to provide all the care and attention your dog deserves. My apartment is located near a variety of parks and trails, so they will get some wonderful exercise.

About: I’ve been fostering cats and dogs with humane rescue society for over six years. These fosters are long commitments until they are adopted. Love and attention are most important for our fluffy friends! We are WFH and work schedule is very flexible. We have plenty of time at home, offer 3-4 long walks (at least half an hour each) per day. We walk them upon dropping off and prior to picking up to make it easier and more convenient to you. We also take them to a nearby tennis court to play fetch and adjust walking based on the dog’s energy level. We set a maximum number of dogs we can host one time depending on the size, age of the dogs and how much we know about them. We may also lower the price for a less energetic or smaller dog. We have two loving cats who can be separated in a room if needed. We will spend quality time with your pets to keep them active and healthy. We will be providing food and water according to their needs and schedule, ensuring their sleeping environment is safe and cozy.

About: I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them! We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice I live in an apartment with ample walking nearby. Super dog friendly neighborhood. We have space to set up crates if needed. I am a neat person and will clean up after myself and the dogs. Since I live in an apartment, if your dog is reactive to noise outside the door, I recommend making that a consideration

“What can I say beyond the fact that Elizabeth was AMAZING with my cat son! My fur baby is incredibly shy and hides when new people are introduced into his space. I was extremely nervous about leaving him so long (approximately 11 days) with a sitter, but I’m so glad that Elizabeth assuaged those fears! On her first solo visit, she managed to coax the fur baby out of hiding spot and engaged with him. Her subsequent visits were full if pics with a not-so-why cat, a talkative cat (I thought he was only vocal with me!) and a cat wanting to be touched. She was patient and caring in dealing with my cat, and I greatly appreciate that. I cannot say enough about her cat sitting skills, seriously. Elizabeth is definitely a go-to for your cat sitting needs!”

“Catherine is great with animals, and really went above and beyond for ours. Our dog is very anxious about new people, and you can generally see that in pictures. This time, I could really see that Maui warmed up to Catherine and had fun with her while I was gone. Even our very picky cat decided to befriend her. I couldn’t possibly recommend her more.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes (experience having dogs less than 2 lbs in my care!) , and personalities — but I have an especially soft spot for puppies! I’ve fostered many puppies over the years, including caring for 6-week-old puppies on my own and fostering a mom with her litter of seven 3-week-old puppies for an entire month. I’ve cared for puppies as tiny as 2 lbs, so I’m very comfortable with the extra attention, patience, frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, and supervision that little ones need. I also grew up with multiple Pomeranians and Golden Retrievers, so my experience ranges from tiny toy breeds to big, energetic dogs. Between my own dogs and fostering, I’m very used to different personalities, routines, energy levels, and care needs. One of the biggest perks of staying with us is that either my husband or I am home throughout the day, so your dog will get lots of attention and companionship. It’s very rare that a dog in our care would be left alone — typically no more than an hour or two, maybe once a week. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I want them to feel as comfortable, loved, and spoiled here as they would at home. I’m also a huge picture person, so you can expect lots of photos and updates throughout the day — you’ll never have to wonder what your pup is up to! I’m more than happy to follow their normal routine and make their stay feel as much like home as possible. Whether you have a tiny puppy who needs constant supervision, an energetic dog who wants to play, or a professional couch cuddler, I’d love to have them! 🐾 Either my husband or I am home throughout the day, so your pup will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and potty breaks. It’s very rare that a dog in our care would be left alone — typically only for an hour or two, maybe once a week. This also makes our home especially great for puppies who need more frequent potty breaks, meals, and supervision! I treat every dog in my care like they’re my own and will always follow your normal routine, feeding schedule, potty schedule, crate routine, and any specific instructions you provide. I have extensive foster experience, including very young and tiny puppies, so I’m comfortable with dogs who need extra supervision and attention. Your pup will have lots of love and company, and I’ll send you tons of pictures and updates throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing!

Absolutely wonderful dog walker! They are reliable, caring, and clearly have a genuine love for dogs. What really stands out is their thoughtful communication—they always keep me updated, share helpful details about each walk, and make sure I know how my pup is doing. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such attentive and trustworthy hands. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Cabin John

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Cabin John on Rover is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 16,182 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cabin John. 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.

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 Cabin John 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 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 .

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 Cabin John with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.
