About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, with experience caring for cats, dogs, bearded dragons, turtles, rabbits, and other small pets. My love for animals eventually led me to work professionally in the pet-care field, starting at a grooming salon in Brentwood, Maryland. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic as a Veterinary Technician Assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals, recognizing changes in their behavior and health, assisting with treatments, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. As a lifelong pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. ❤️🐾 I work full-time, but I’m available for weekend pet care and services before or after work depending on my schedule. I’m happy to communicate about your pet’s routine and find a schedule that works for both of us. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication assistance, or simply some company while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to care for them! 🐶🐱💕 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions before providing care. When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, pets are supervised appropriately, and their food, water, medications, and belongings are kept safe and organized. With my veterinary clinic experience, I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or signs that something may not be right and will communicate with you promptly if I have any concerns. I also understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable with someone new, so I never rush the process and allow them to warm up to me at their own pace.
“Meeka was fantastic with our kitties! She even befriended our really shy kitty super quickly - it was impressive! Would definitely recommend her and will be requesting her check ins again 😊”
“Lindsay cared for our 6 cats this past weekend and exceeded our expectations! She was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the whole process. We know our pets were thoroughly cared for and we will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve always had pets and have been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family for years. My professional career offers me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-ins, and in-home sitting—including working remotely from your home when Wi-Fi is available. I love helping pets stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, where they can maintain their normal routine while their family is away. It gives both pets and their people a little extra peace of mind knowing they’re safe, comfortable, loved, and waiting for you to come home. 🐾❤️ My professional government career offers a flexible hybrid schedule. I’m available for evening and weekend walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays, and on telework days I can work from your home with Wi-Fi—giving your pet extra companionship throughout the day. On office days, I can provide care before and after work. Your pet’s safety and your trust are my priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and always respect your home and privacy. On walks, I stay attentive to surroundings, weather, other animals, and your pet’s comfort and energy level. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Aleyah was amazing with my Puppy! He really enjoyed her checking in on him. She walked him, fed him and took the time to play with him. I'll definitely book again! Thank you so much!”
About: I get along with animals pretty naturally. I do a lot of sitting for family and friends when they go on vacation. Giving love and care to your fur baby takes a lot of time and the DMV has a lot of traffic. It takes a village! I can pop in or stay over to make sure all physical and emotional needs are taken care of. I am a fitness instructor. My schedule changes and is flexible as long as I am given notice and clear instructions. I do not work full time. I do not have a fenced in yard, but can keep a crate. It is a townhouse so limited space, but plenty of parks and areas to walk your fur baby.
“Corissa was great! She came over to our house for a meet and greet with Ginger and me. She's personable, calm and loves animals. She followed through on the contract even though Ginger was not cooperative! I'll definitely use Corissa again.”

“Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
About: I love dogs and have years of experience caring for family, friends, and my own two “fur babies.” I provide safe supervision, playtime, and lots of love, treating every dog like part of my family. I can guarantee they won’t want to leave and I keep owners updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for. Pet care is my full focus during sitting bookings. I make sure I’m fully available to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, feeding, and plenty of attention so each dog feels safe and cared for.” I provide loving care for pets while maintaining a safe and comfortable home environment. I prioritize safety by following all instructions, supervising pets closely, and keeping spaces clean. I build trust with owners through regular updates and photos. Having a young baby at home, I understand the importance of gentle, calm interactions, and I ensure every pet feels secure, happy, and well cared-for.

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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
