“Victoria willingly accepted to sit my dog while I went on a last-minute work trip. She sent daily pictures, kept up with the dog's schedule flawlessly, and maintained constant communication. Truly a professional in every sense of the word. I'll seek her services again and recommended her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter.”
“Sarah was wonderful with the cats. They got along with her really well and she was very thorough in giving us updates and photos. I will definitely be asking her to cat sit again in the future!”
About: Ive grown up with dogs since I was 4 years old and had independently trained them on my own. I’m a BIG animal lover cats AND dogs of all sorts. Any pet sitting/walking endeavors you seek I am more than happy to help out especially with the current season of summer travelling In currently on summer break from college with full access to a car. Tues-Thurs I am occupied with online summer classes that last from 6:30 pm - 8:45pm but any time before or after I am fully happy to help out I train clear boundaries within the home (no wandering in the kitchen) and remain all food items and tools off the floor. I also keep various toys such as Kongs and puzzles to keep my dog stimulated indoors. I’m also pretty active myself so most of the time I like to go on walks
“This is the third time we have booked Amber for drop-in visits. She is an excellent pet sitter. Our dog is nervous around strangers. Amber has made him feel at ease and he looks forward to seeing her. She communicates frequently and always sends photos. We very much appreciate Amber and will definitely book her again.”
About: I have experience working with puppies all the way up to seniors. I always make sure any medication is taken on time. I have potty trained puppies in the past. I work full-time, but I work from home on Fridays. I also finish work early on Friday so evenings are great for me to pet sit. My weekends have lots of free time to spend walking or playing with dogs I have a fenced in yard for the dog to run around and play. I like playing with dogs so I would be keeping an eye on them as well. I'll make sure they have lots of fun and cuddles.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. I’ve had all kinds of animals, from tiny dogs to big dogs, from social cats to the prickly don’t get too close to me types! I absolutely love animals and have been a vegetarian for 8 years. I currently have two dogs of my own, and often take care of my family’s senior dog (going strong at 16 due to the loving care!) I love going on long walks as well. I’m currently on summer break from teaching so I have a lot of free time on my hands to care for your furry or scaly friends and family! When the school year begins late August my schedule will be more limited to evenings and weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, attentive care. I’ll always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and household rules. I understand that every pet is different; some love attention, while others need space—and I’ll respect what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels secure and cared for until you return. I am also okay with crating if need be!
About: I've grown up with a Bullmastiff and later a Retriever. So I know my way around bigger and heavier dogs as well as more active and energetic ones. I am looking forward to apply those experiences to sitting and walking your four-legged companions with the similar dedication. In addition, we’ve recently lost our Charlie (my golden retriever) and would love to spend time with your pets to try to fill in that gap. But we are in the process of getting a new golden puppy, so puppy requests are welcome as well!
About: I’ve taken care of animals in my home my whole life, from large dogs to guinea pigs! I have experience taking care of animals with various medical issues, anxious dogs, senior animals, and i’ve volunteered at local animal shelters. No animal too big or small! I’m currently working full time, but I am able to stay overnight and check in on your pet anytime after 3pm. I am available at any time during weekends as well. I take the safety of your animal very seriously. I ask you to please let me know if your animal has any special needs, issues with other animals, anxiety, etc. so that I can provide them with the best and most informed care possible.
“Juan is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond with communication and over all care! My pup has special meds and Juan had no problem with it when feeding breakfast and dinner(: Juan went out of his way to go to a pet store to grab a sweater for my pup because it was cold out during their walks 🥹 It was so comforting to know Brody was with someone who goes the extra mile!! 10000% recommend!!!”
“Victoria and her son communicated in a very timely manner. Photos were sent every visit and if something came up they addressed it with me as well. It was nice to have them as pet sitters and recommend them! Thank you once again!”
“Rachel was wonderful! She was friendly, warm, and caring and did a great job watching our two sweet kitties. Great communication and pics sent as well. She will be our go-to moving forward!”
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life and have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, Boxers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and currently a Labrador Retriever. This experience has given me a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and training needs. I am comfortable handling both large and active dogs, and I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and attentive care for every dog as if they were my own. As an educator with Montgomery County Public Schools, I have a structured schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care. During the school year, I am available for dog walks and visits between 6:30 AM and 8:00 AM on weekdays, as well as after work beginning at 3:30 PM. I am also available on weekends. Beginning June 18, I will have open availability and be available seven days a week for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, overnight stays, and last-minute requests. Caring for dogs has been a part of my daily life for many years, and I enjoy providing dogs with the exercise, attention, and companionship they need to be happy and healthy. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow the owner’s instructions to ensure their routine remains consistent and comfortable. For dog walking, I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog’s age, energy level, and needs. Whether your dog enjoys a brisk walk for exercise or a slower-paced stroll, I make sure they get plenty of activity, attention, and care. For drop-in visits, I can provide fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and any other care requested by the owner. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable and cared for when their family is away. For doggy daycare, I provide a safe, supervised environment with plenty of attention, exercise, play, and opportunities to relax. My goal is to make sure every dog feels secure, happy, and well cared for throughout the day. Having owned dogs my entire life, including German Shepherds, Boxers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and a Labrador Retriever, I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels.
“David is a true hero! While we were on vacation out of the country, the person we had hired to watch our dog failed to show up. We were in complete panic mode, but David stepped up in the most incredible way. At 2 o’clock in the morning, he came to ensure our dog was safe, and he didn’t stop there. David stayed and took care of our dog for the entire duration of our trip, giving us peace of mind when we needed it most. His dedication, kindness, and reliability were above and beyond anything we could have expected. David treated our dog as if it were his own, and we are forever grateful for his selflessness and care. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, David is your person. He’s not just dependable—he’s a lifesaver! Thank you, David, for being our hero when we needed one most!”
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.
“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!”
“Jony is a great sitter— communicative, responsive, friendly, and professional. We’re grateful he was available on such short notice and that he cared for our cats like they were his own. We especially appreciated the pictures and updates that showed each cat’s personality.”
“Gretchen was amazing taking out both of my dogs! One of them is very nervous and Gretchen was extremely patient with her. She stayed longer than she needed to in order for my dog to warm up to her and really put in the effort to make my dog feel safe. Thank you Gretchen!”

Kae is literally the person I was hoping to find on here! He is kind, thoughtful, conscientious, communicative, and flexible. He is amazing with the animals and is careful to ask questions if he doesn’t understand something. You can always tell a true animal lover when you meet one! Kay goes above and beyond. I am so happy to have found him and trust him 100% to take good care of our animal crew when I’m away!

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.
