About: I have had my dog for 11 years she is now 12 years old. I love all type of pets. Long walks outside, belly rubs, and cuddles all day! My dog is older and I miss having a little more energy from a pup so I can work with any ages. I work M-F one day from home. I get off around 4pm but can also go home on my breaks if needed. My dog stays home with my mother. I take my dog out for walks, there are some neighbors with pets that are on leashes as well. We have plenty space for dogs to fun around and have fun!
About: Hi there! I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, caring for pets like dogs, cats, and even ferrets. I’m currently in college studying to become a vet tech and work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I care for pets of all sizes and personalities. I started pet sitting in August of last year and have loved every second of it! I provide personalized care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, and I treat every pet like family. Let me know how I can help care for your furry friends—I’d love to meet them! I am currently a student, and my work schedule varies weekly, typically ranging between 6:00 AM and 6:30 PM. However, I pride myself on being highly flexible and am happy to accommodate your needs with clear and timely communication. I currently have two dogs at home—a pit mix and a greyhound mix. My pit mix does not get along with other dogs, so I have experience managing and keeping dogs safely separated when necessary. I am also experienced in administering medications and ensuring pets receive the care they need. Additionally, I provide detailed updates and photos throughout the day to keep you informed and at ease.
About: Me and my wonderful partner Jazz have decades in the fur-tastic game! With a childhood on a farm, my daily crew included dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and cows (just to name a few!). I wear a perpetual grin, love nature walks, and I always take time to train any of our furry guests! As an at-home actor and producer, I occasionally swap my comfy couch for the thrill of a film set. We always love some furry friends to play with our corgi. Daily walks? We're on it 2-3 times a day. Backyard escapades? Always on the schedule! And come weekends, we're either hitting the trails or chasing fun at the park. Safety first, fun always! Our neighborhood is safe and walking distance to a park. And for the tinier fur-bundles, we've got a cozy crate ready for some snug time.
“Absolutely outstanding care! Esontay was reliable, attentive, and clearly very thoughtful with my dogs. Not only were my dogs well looked after, but I also had total peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend and will absolutely book again.”

About: I am currently working as a dog trainer in Grant Park, I have experience with dogs and cats, as well as socialization with reactive dogs.

Otherwise I am free to help you in when needed! Let me know how i can work into your schedule I am very supportive of special needs and care needed for any given pup. I also provide flexibility for any schedule adjustments or training needed
About: Welcome! My name is Jah, and I’m passionate about providing top-notch care for dogs. With years of experience as a dedicated dog lover and caretaker, I understand the unique needs and personalities of each furry friend. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate. Rest assured, your dog will be in good hands, receiving the best care possible. Thank you for trusting me to care for your beloved pet. I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon! I’m currently working part time, through the week I’m available in the evenings from 6:30pm through 11:00pm and from 12:00pm through 11:30pm on the weekends. I look forward in having the opportunity meeting your furry friend. As a pet caregiver, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, whether in my home or in the client’s home. Here’s how I approach caring for pets in both settings: In My Home: • Comfortable Accommodations: I ensure that pets have a designated space to relax and sleep, free from hazards and in a quiet area. • Routine & Consistency: I try to maintain the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime, making the transition from their own home to mine as smooth as possible. • Exercise & Enrichment: I provide regular walks and playtime in nearby parks. • Supervision & Safety: Pets are never left unattended for long periods. I pet-proof my home to eliminate any potential dangers like toxic plants or loose wires. • Cleanliness & Hygiene: Regular cleaning is a priority to ensure a fresh, hygienic space for pets. This includes keeping their living areas clean, providing fresh water, and ensuring food bowls are sanitized. • Medical Attention: I am vigilant about any signs of illness or discomfort, and if needed, I’m prepared to take pets to the vet promptly. I also make sure to administer any necessary medications as instructed. In the Client’s Home: • Respecting the Pet’s Environment: I strive to keep the pet’s routine intact, whether it’s where they eat, sleep, or play. Familiar surroundings help minimize stress. • Customized Care: I tailor care based on the pet’s needs and preferences—whether that’s a specific feeding schedule, favorite toys, or preferred walking routes. • Security: I am cautious about keeping doors and gates secure to prevent pets from escaping. When entering or leaving the home, I always ensure that pets are safe and accounted for. • Communication with Clients: I maintain open communication, sending regular updates and photos of their pets. This helps owners feel at ease and keeps them informed of their pet’s well-being. • House Care: In addition to caring for the pet, I also ensure the home is kept tidy, respecting the client’s space and cleaning up after the pet as needed. In both settings, the well-being of the pets is my top priority. I aim to create a nurturing and loving environment that gives pets a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away.
“Kamron was awesome with our dog and friends dog that was staying over. We asked for a last minute drop in and Kamron came through! He left great feedback. It was such a relief having someone we could trust to check on them. He was super quick to respond. He also paid attention to detail and took great care in what we needed. We will use him again for sure! Above and beyond, excellent experience.”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I grew up with dogs, so being around them comes naturally to me, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I also regularly care for my nephew (a high-energy Goldendoodle) and my niece (a small Papillon), so I’m comfortable handling both larger, active dogs and smaller breeds with different needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable—whether your dog needs lots of playtime, structured routines, or a calm, gentle approach. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work full-time, but I’m available after 5 PM on weekdays and fully available on weekends. I also work from home occasionally, which gives me extra flexibility for daytime care and check-ins. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and on their normal routine in their own home. I follow all instructions closely—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care—while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I adapt to each pet’s needs, whether they’re high-energy and need exercise or prefer a calm, relaxed visit.

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my entire life and started helping care for them at a very young age. While living with my father, we had multiple dogs and raised them from puppies into their senior years. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, bathing, and general daily care. I’ve had experience with a variety of breeds, including Boxers, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Beagles, Labrador Retrievers, Great Danes, and Dobermans. Some of the German Shepherds were trained in basic obedience, and I helped support that training. My fathers dad was a police officer and had working dogs, including a Great Dane and Doberman, and I would help care for them when he was away and spend time with them regularly. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 5 years old up until I moved in with my mom a few years ago. Even though I’m not currently living with dogs, I’ve continued to stay very comfortable and experienced around them and still have a strong love for animals and pet care. I am currently a college student with a flexible schedule and I also work part-time. My availability varies throughout the week, but I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs! I have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. I work on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, and my shifts usually end around 1:00 PM, 2:00 PM, or 3:00 PM depending on the day. Fridays and Saturdays are completely open, so I have plenty of availability for pet sitting, walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks. I’m dependable, caring, and willing to communicate with you ahead of time to make sure I can provide the best care for your pet! I prioritize safety, trust, and following each pet owner’s instructions carefully while caring for pets in their own home. I am comfortable spending time outside in a fenced yard and will happily sit and play with your dog to make sure they get exercise and attention in a safe environment. I can also crate or kennel pets if that is part of their routine or preferred by the owner. I have experience with basic pet care routines, including administering medication when needed, taking them out for potty breaks, cleaning up, and following specific instructions exactly as given. I always make sure pets feel comfortable and secure while maintaining their normal habits as much as possible. I enjoy playing with pets and keeping them active throughout the day! I like using toys such as ropes for tug-of-war and fetch, as many of the dogs I’ve cared for in the past enjoyed those activities. My goal is always to keep pets happy, active, and safe while in my care.
“Ashley was so wonderful in caring for my young/energetic puppy! This was the first time I had used Rover and was really grateful that Ashley was super responsive and communicative throughout which made me feel comfortable leaving my pup. Loved all the cute photos and updates she shared and it was clear she went above and beyond in interacting with my dog. I would HIGHLY recommend Ashley as a sitter - you will be pleased you reached out to her!”

About: Our family has had two very sweet cats for over a decade. We love them so much. I can always tell how they feel based on their nonverbals. I am happy to rearrange my schedule to meet the needs of the pet parent. Happy to work recurring gigs as well! Please feel free to request drop ins, sitting, and walks. I’m happy to feed, walk, and clean up any messes that your fur babies may have made. If you have any specific requests please don’t hesitate to ask!
“I had to leave town unexpectedly and Michael was there to save the day! Max and Sadie seemed disappointed when I was the one that walked in the door when I returned home a couple of days later, lol. He was extremely communicative and he clearly loves animals and is great with them. I appreciated his thorough reports and great pics - it was great to have such peace of mind while I was away. I cannot recommend Michael enough and will definitely use him again!”

About: Equal opportunity animal lover since 1992. Life is better with a furry friend around. * Educated in some Veterinary Technician skills such as giving pills and injection medication * Energetic Personality to keep your dog engaged yet calm energy for cats * Able to handle different sized dogs My current schedule is fairly flexible for drop-in services or dog walks. I work part-time as a server and would love to spend the rest of the week with some furry friends. For dog sitting, I will need a week in advance to clear up any schedule conflicts, otherwise I may need to pop in and out throughout the day. When I’m out on dog walks, I really value your dog’s safety. I always carry pepper spray to make sure I can protect your dog if an aggressive dog charges during our walk. I also use body block techniques to keep your dog safe when off-leash dogs are around. I usually steer clear of other dogs on walks unless you specifically let me know that it’s okay for your dog to greet and interact with them. I prefer to be safe rather than risk your furry friend getting hurt. For cats, I’ll make sure they stay indoors unless you have a catio. If I do take cats to a catio, I’ll always supervise and play with them for a bit before leaving them to nap happily.
About: After spending my childhood years helping take care of dogs of many breeds and sizes, I naturally became a dog lover! I have been a dog owner for 15+ years to my pom-chi and I recently added a bichon-poo to my pack. They are treated like my babies as I have been nurturing them since they were puppies. Along side my mom's Chihuahua at times- the girls are very healthy, happy and playful. Outside of being a dog mom, I always have a love and connection to the animals and enjoy volunteering at the shelters and horseback ranch. I've administered oral and ear medication, post op care, given baths/grooming, brushing teeth, taken care of puppies... among other pet care needs. I signed up to provide these services as I enjoy the company of dogs. They're fun loving animals and a pleasure to take care of. I ensure to make your fur baby feel like they're at a home away from home. I currently live with 3 dogs and a cat of all different ages, while working from home full time. We have a routine of our own which other fur babies are welcome to join. I'm currently working from home full time and have time throughout the day to look after and care for your pets with plenty of play, rest, water and care. I have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to enjoy. My 2 other playful girls are there to join in on the fun while my senior dog can show off her favorite spots to lounge and sun bathe. I sometimes take the dogs for walks around my neighborhood so they're able to release energy and enjoy time outside the property. Although I am home, I do have crates available, if your dog prefers their own personal space. I've administered oral and ear medication, post op care, given baths/grooming, brushing teeth, taken care of puppies... among other pet care needs. In case of emergency, I'm 5 minutes away from a caring vet that I use as well as a 24 hour animal hospital.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs, including fostering them for months at a time and providing a loving home until I find their forever families. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! I’m available every day of the week for drop ins between 8am and 3pm. I also can make myself available for all day/overnight stays upon request. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! While I don’t have a fenced yard, I have plenty of nearby parks and walking areas for exercise, playtime, and fresh air. I also have reliable transportation and can easily crate your dog if needed. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while maintaining their usual routines. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for your peace of mind!
“At risk of sounding redundant, Toney truly goes above and beyond! He brought treats and toys for my cats and asked thorough questions at the meet and greet to make sure he got everything. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
Daniel was great! He was very accommodating to my pups needs and went the extra mile for her and I. When my dog refused to go out in wet grass, he made a third trip back to ensure she was comfortable and accident-free overnight. I really appreciated his extra care and highly recommend him!!

Madison was an amazing sitter and I would absolutely hire her again to watch my dog. She was very understanding and patient when watching him. He’s got a few little weird traits but she was able to adapt to his needs to make sure he was comfortable while I was away. I received daily updates with pictures and I could tell he was being well taken care of and enjoyed his visits with her.

Sean was our first experience hiring someone to look after our girls. He was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and spent time with our babies. One of them consistently had accidents while we were gone but Sean took care of it every single day no problem. He made sure to spend some time with them in the yard and gave them some brushing due to it being shedding season! Since he lives close to us, he would pop by in to check on them in the afternoon. One of our babies started showing some scary symptoms our last night of vacation and Sean cared as if it was one of his own babies. Sean was fantastic and we highly recommend hiring him!

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 College Park 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.

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 .
