About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life 🐾 I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets—their personalities, their quirks, and just making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I offer pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I always try to tailor care to each pet’s needs. Whether that’s long walks, playtime, sticking to a specific routine, or just keeping them company and giving lots of attention, I’m happy to adjust. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on keeping things calm, consistent, and stress-free. I’ve had experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs, and I’m very attentive to details like feeding routines, medications (if needed), and behavior changes. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I work in a way that allows me to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I’m reliable, responsive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member 💛 I’m currently y working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your babies. I have plenty of dog and cat toys to play with, grooming stuff etc. I have a partially fences yard and a medium size dog and 3 cats to keep your babies company. If I come to your house, I make sure I follow your instructions closely
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love I have for animals - it's not just a service I provide, it's something I truly care about. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets for years, which is how I got my start and built my experience in dog and cat sitting, walking, and feeding. What I'm most proud of is my patience and my ability to take the time to understand each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, quirks, and comfort levels, and I make it a priority to learn those nuances so I can provide care that feels familiar and safe - not one-size-fits-all. I treat every pet like my own, and that's something their owners always feel. I currently work from home during the work week so I will have plenty of time to play with your animal! I need at least a day heads up but can be pretty flexible in providing care throughout the week. When caring for pets my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the dog - whether that means a leisurely stroll for a senior pup or a more energetic outing for a high-energy breed. I always make sure they're safe, have a chance to explore, and return back home happy. Above all, I treat every pet with the same patience and attention I would give my own because I know how much they mean to their families.
About: I've been a pet owner for over ten years for both dogs and cats. I used to work at a Montessori school for dogs, as a behavioral specialist at an animal shelter, and as a Attendant at a doggy daycare, so I have taken courses from both the Victoria Stilwell Academy and the Karen Pryor Academy and have some experience with animal training. I am familiar with many temperaments and how to properly approach a new friend. While I am still working towards certification, I’d be happy to positively reinforce good habits as well as teach your animal a fun trick or two (this extends to cats as well)! I work full-time and my schedule is decided on a weekly basis, so my availability isn’t something set in stone. I am transitioning to a new job though, so I will soon be generally available on weekends and evenings. At your home, I'm comfortable with pets of all temperaments. I can keep up with dogs who want to play all day, or I can chill and provide cuddles to the softer, gentler pups. Some pets are content watching from a distance, and I can do that as well. At my dog school job, we had a detailed system of categorizing different "play styles", and at my shelter job, I often taught interested adopters how to properly introduce themselves to a possible new family member. I hope to incorporate that into my work with your beloved pet so we can better understand one another.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 6 then I got another one that was all my responsibility when I was 15. I went through basic, intermediate, and advanced training and I hold titles in all of them for my dog. I’ve dog sat my friends little Yorkie mix and I myself have a 90 pound golden doodle and a 45 pound Irish troodle so I’ve been with and handled dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had a love for animals and not to brag but all the animals I meet love me too lol. I am very responsible and have been taking care of dogs for a long time now. I am a new grad school student with a part time job. My schedule is pretty consistent and flexible week to week so feel free to reach out to inquire about scheduling:) If I am caring for a pet in your home all I ask is that you give me some instructions of what you would like me to do and I will be happy to do that.
“Alyia has been such a great sitter for my puppy Snoopy. This is my husband and I’s first dog together and so we were very cautious trying to find the perfect fit and Snoopy couldn’t be happier with Alyia. Not only does she follow all of our specifications for Snoopy’s health issues, she also gives him so much snuggles and play time. He barely misses us when we’re gone! She also is incredibly communicative and sends pictures/videos and texts during each visit. The most impressive part about Alyia is her professionalism, care for our home when we’re gone and was even willing to babysit my neighbors kids with Snoopy for an afternoon. She’s truly a star!!!”
About: I have six years of deep, hands-on experience raising and loving my own sweet fur baby. Being a dedicated pet parent taught me every aspect of dog care from maintaining strict, feeding and medication schedules to reading, subtle body language handling daily walks and providing comfort during storms or anxiety. I lost my baby girl in March 😢 and that showed me how irreplaceable our pets. Are I now know firsthand that your pet isn’t just your animal. They are your family. I treat every dog in my care with the same exact patience, tenderness, and safety first mindset that I gave my own. Pet care fits into my schedule because I managed my own flexible schedule from home. Pet care just fits in naturally. It’s my passion. I have a large two bedroom apartment and I have plenty of living space and I also have a dog park provided by my community.
“Savannah was a great drop-in sitter for our cat! She was kind, communicative, and responsive. She also took a ton of photos each day which we loved! Thank you!”
About: I have owned different breeds of dogs over the last 10+ years. I am highly experienced in training, walking, feeding, bathing, playing with dogs, etc. I have a mature, friendly 6 year old beagle of my own who loves to meet new friends and enjoys company! I am home 7 days of the week and do school virtually, so I am able to be extremely attentive of pets under my care. I walk my pets multiple times daily around College Park, MD where they receive lots of attention, I also have a fenced in play area attached to my living space. I work from home/do school virtually, so I am home 7 days out of the week! I am able to be extremely attentive of pets under my care. I have a fenced in play area where other dogs also play attached to my living space, I walk my pets multiple times daily, exploring new places and pretty sights! I have roommates who also assist in supervising pets under my care, when I have to run out for errands. Pets are always supervised!
“This is my second time working with Madelyn; she is great with my cats! And she dealt with all this crazy DC ice to care for them. Will be keeping her as my go-to! Thanks, Madelyn!”
“Gabs always communicates so well and we always trust our home and pets with them. Gabs even watered our plants while we were out of town, which was super helpful!”
About: "I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11. When I got my first dog. I would to walk, feed and bathe her. After I gained a new appreciation for family pets I’m currently working part-time. I’m working the closing shift. Because of this I normally do walk and sitting on my free days and/or in the morning/afternoon. I also make sure to take care of the animals in my care with the highest quality of care that can be provided to the pet.
About: Hey busy pet parents! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 8 years of combined animal shelter and dog walking experience. I'm currently the proud owner of one senior kitty, and have almost always owned dogs. As someone who has worked with many dogs and cats with varying degrees of energy, excitability and anxiety, I hope to do everything in my toolbelt to keep things as lively, entertaining and cozy for them as possible while their human is away. My approach is positive-reinforcement based and minimally intrusive. I prefer not to force an interaction with pets that need time to get to know me; I let them come to me on their own terms. ~I am comfortable taking care of small animals and certain exotics. (I’m a former rabbit mom.) ~If you have a pet with more challenging behaviors, please don’t hesitate to message me about it. Let’s discuss if care is possible and how I can best offer support to your pet. ~I am comfortable administering medications, whether they are oral, nasal, ocular, aural (ear) or subcutaneous injectable. ~If you need your plants watered or your mail brought in, just let me know! I’ve got some 20-something house plants at home that I’ve managed to keep healthy. I believe that pets deserve the very best and refuse to offer anything less. Feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and yours! I work part-time in my other industries, and currently have plenty of free time. If you book me, rest assured that window of time will be fully committed to your pet. Since I have a cat at home, I will be restricted to in-home stays and drop-ins. Your dog/cat will receive regular walks, potty breaks, and playtime.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cheverly
Thalia was so friendly and very sweet with our dog, Fig! She did a drop by visit ahead of taking care of Fig while we are out of town and had a lot of great questions. She is very knowledgeable about dog care and we are very happy that Fig will have such a good friend while we're away!
Bryanna was wonderful with our furry crew! She took such great care of everyone and even our shyest kitties opened up to her! I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for conscientious and loving care for your pets. She was timely and communicated well with us the entire time.
Another wonderful experience!! From the updates, great communication, and photos all through the entire drop in visit.. I love not only hearing but seeing my pup is having a good time and happy when I am away it warms my heart and just puts me at ease all around knowing she is getting the love and care she deserves when I'm away. I can't thank you guys enough for the services you provide to our loved animals!
So many great things to say about Natalie!! She took my booking the same day even though she was not feeling well earlier in the morning she still showed up to care for my Mocha! I had some internet issues right before she was do to leave out and she helped out even more by trying to assist me in fixing the issues with my internet so the tvs would be left on for Mocha while Noone is there. She is truly very caring and communicates very well during her visits! I can't praise her enough! Thank you for everything Natalie!
Emma is amazing with Santino! She takes such great care of him whenever we’re away. She sends photos after every visit, which gives us so much peace of mind, and it’s clear that Santino absolutely loves her. She even opened his Chewy box with him, which was such a thoughtful touch. We always know he’s in great hands with Emma, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.
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.
Lindsay was great with Mocha today. I'm one of those pet owners that enjoy detailed updates along with photos. She handled Mocha's lil accident in the kitchen without any hesitation was very thoughtful and kind about the situation which is a major plus in my book along with being on time she was even arrived a few mins early!! Highly recommend her services!! Thank you so much Lindsay!!
Amy did a fabulous job with our dogs! She was very considerate of their needs, especially during a few thunderstorms that passed through. She sent lots of pictures and helpful updates. We felt very comfortable with how our dogs were cared for during our vacation. It helped us fully relax and enjoy our time away!
Alexis was absolutely amazing while we were out of town! She took such great care of Uno and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Uno was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!
Daniela was amazing with Bleu! She was Available at a last minute request, and she took such good care of my dog. Her communication was perfect, she was on time, and she was very friendly. Highly recommended! I will definitely be rebooking her when needed. My dog loved her soo much that she’s the only sitter I want to use moving forward lol. Thank You Daniela :)

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 Cheverly 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
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.
