“Linda was great. She followed the laundry list of instructions I left, and let me know if she had any questions. She made an effort to win over my 3cats…and two accepted her quickly. Unfortunately, my anxious cat didn’t buy it, LOL. Hoping that next time, he will remember hard and come out of hiding.”
About: I’ve walked and cared for many kinds of dogs, and loved my time with all of them! I’m experienced with leash manners, medical needs, reactivity, and physical restrictions. I have a very flexible work from home schedule that allows me to walk, drop in on, or stay with your furry friend as often as needed! I treat your space and pet’s routine with the same care I do my own. I understand trust is everything when it comes to your home and pets, so I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and leaving the space as I found it.
“I’d give callen 6 stars if I could. She was great! Communicative. Friendly. Professional. She helped out on a last minute ask and did great! I highly recommend her to look after your furry friends!”
About: Cat papi Trav. Good for watching after your little fluff of love while you’re out enjoying yourself. Avid pet lover, but have a soft spot for cats Work from home so I have time to sneak in belly rubs and ear scratches throughout the day. If your cat/dog isn’t the most social we car look at each other from the across the room. I have a 2 bed room condo. Enough space for all to enjoy themselves. A nice park for the walks, and nice windows for the cats to peer into the outside world.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. As a dog and cat parent myself, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with a wider range of pet owners and ensure clear understanding of your pet's needs and care instructions. My goal is to give your pets the same care, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work during the week, but I’m available in the evenings after 6pm for dog walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can offer boarding and extended care. Because I have a set work schedule, I’m able to plan ahead and make sure every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals, so pet care is something I genuinely look forward to. When your pet stays in my home, they’ll have plenty of space to relax, play, and move around comfortably. I have a friendly Labradoodle and a cat who have their own separate areas of the home, so your pet can have some company if they’re comfortable around other animals. I always respect each pet’s personality and your preferences, and I’m happy to keep pets separated or crated if that’s what makes them feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and welcoming home where every pet can feel comfortable while they’re away from their family.
About: Since growing up at a young age, I’ve always had a pet by my side and now that I love daily unconditionally. If there is one thing I can teach them is to get along with others animals as well as people. My patience and understanding will keep them thriving and healthy. I only want to give them more than they need. I am available 5 days of the week to care for your pet, including the weekend if needed! After all, someone has to be there for them. No pet under my supervision has ever been in harms way. I have a big cage with food and water. Pet toys, cleaning supplies, and pet proof items to keep them safe.

“Pepper has enjoyed her stays with Nasheia and Nina so much that we have made it a weekly thing. With other sitters I would drop pepper off and she would run back to me to pick her up and not want to leave. As soon as Pepper saw Nina she forgot all about me. She comes home happy and tired from all her playing.”

“Tandy was amazing! She responded very quickly to my last minute booking and was very accommodating of my schedule. Flexible and detailed, the cats loved her! She made sure that my cat Sigmund took his thyroid medication and kept me informed of everything they were up to. Tandy double checked with me if any questions came up, which I really appreciated. 6/5 stars!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Capitol Heights
Natalie is amazing and went above and beyond at very late notice to make my Dante happy and comfortable while I was away for work. She was flexible with a very rushed meet-and-greet and remained flexible throughout the stay, even as I added another sameday drop-in. She had great treats and toys for him and took tons of pictures. I know he loved the walks and getting outside. I’m very appreciative and grateful for her time and care! Will absolutely be booking again.
They were absolutely amazing. I just moved to the area from Texas and had to travel to Colorado for my niece’s birthday, but couldn’t bring my dog. My usual pet sitter is back in Texas, so I was unexpectedly without pet care. When the dates of my trip changed, they were generous and flexible enough to watch Scooby a little longer. Scooby normally takes a while to warm up to new people and can be particularly hesitant around men, but he bonded with them incredibly quickly. They truly exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with pets.
Anh was wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety, and Anh truly went above and beyond to help her feel safe and comfortable. Communication was excellent throughout, and as a first-time Rover user, she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. I felt confident leaving my dog in her care and would absolutely book with her again. I highly recommend Anh.
Stephanne is great with my 3 dogs. She can handle taking all 3 of my dogs on walks together, has so much experience with dog behavior, and she’s very attentive to their health and well being. She is incredibly reliable; I have such peace of mind knowing she’s taking care of my dogs.
Ehuniz did an amazing job sitting for my dog Asja! I can pretty much fill out a potential sitter during the Meet and Greet. Ehuniz was very warm and calm which made me quite comfortable (my dog feeds off energy). Ehuniz was very responsive when I made initial contact with here to sit for my dog which was a pretty quick turnaround due to a last minute issues with the person originally scheduled to sit for her. I highly recommend Ehuniz if you are looking for a reliable sitter!

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 Capitol Heights 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.

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.

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.
