“Genevieve was absolutely amazing! She took care of my cat like he was her own. She sent endless pictures and gave him all the love he needed while I was away. Let’s just say, he didn’t miss me as much as I thought he would thanks to her! Thank you again Genevieve, you’re the best! ❤️”
“Went out of her way to meet with Bear and get to know the routine before hand. She was great with my puppy and asked great questions so she could take the best care of Bear!”
“Dazia was respectful of my home and prompt on drop in days. She is not afraid to ask questions if she is unsure and sent very cute pictures of my furbaby.”
“I was absolutely blown away by Traci and the experience she provided. Before I ever even paid her, she came by early before I went out of town to meet the dogs. She was so kind, thoughtful and meticulous about caring for them. She went out of her way at every opportunity to provide my dogs with comfort and love. She cleaned up one of my poms after a poop break, she hand fed the other who was too nervous to eat her food the first night, and she sent the best pictures/videos/updates on the dogs. It really helped me while I had to be away from them. 13/10 experience and would never want to book anyone else but her.”
“Mary was an excellent cat-sitter ! She took great care of my cat Freya when I had to be out of town for 2 weeks, she fed and even played with her. I’m definitely coming home to a happy cat! ?”
About: I currently am a high volume spay/neuter veterinarian assistant which includes surgical prep for 10 hours - 4 days out of my week. Along with this, I have 4 years of doggie daycare/walking behavioral experience, and two additional years of shelter medicine experience where I’ve had to vaccinate and help doctors examine animals with many different temperaments. On weekends I like to focus less on the medical and more on the personality of animals which includes walks, running at parks, car rides, dog pools and lots of treats. I will have full conversations with your fur babies because I 100% know they understand what I’m saying. I will treat them like my own and respect their boundaries and yours. My goal is to build a consistent routine with the same clients. I’ve seen the good, the bad, & the ugly in my years of experience in shelters where we took in untrained animals and helped find their personality. Working with animals is more therapeutic for me, so this doesn’t feel like a chore and I’m willing to help in the ways that I can.

“Damilola sent the best videos of buddy during her visit and was so sweet throughout the entire booking process and visit. She went above and beyond for us and we know our dog was in great hands.”
About: Growing up my coaches did Rover. I stayed with them very often and helped them take care of their 6 dogs as well as any pets they were taking care of for work. I am a full time college student saying at home. Majority of my code is held online so I am very flexible when it comes to pick up and drop offs! I will make sure to follow the pet parents instructions as no one knows their children better than the parent. I understand that all pets are different so it is important to pay special attention to direction.
About: Animals have always felt like family to me—and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ve spent over 5 years looking after dogs of all sizes—from bouncy pups to gentle seniors. Walks, belly rubs, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and loved are all part of the care I provide. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or just being their favorite human for the day, I’m here for it. Caring for animals truly brings me joy—I genuinely believe pets are just furry kids, and they deserve all the love. I work from home and set my own schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet throughout the day. Pet care fits in perfectly! Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I aim to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment that feels familiar. I stick closely to your pet’s routine—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. In my home, pets have a cozy, calm space with plenty of attention and supervision. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal like family, no matter the location.

I also have two cats and a very friendly medium sized dog of my own. For dogs that aren’t cat friendly, I do have space to keep the cats safely separate from the dog. However, I request that dogs boarded will have to be other-dog friendly for the safety of both the dogs and myself.
About: I’m really observant and pick up on pets’ moods and behavior quickly, which helps me adjust to what they need whether that’s play, space, or extra attention. I’m patient with shy or energetic pets, comfortable with routines like feeding and walks, and I focus on keeping them calm, safe, and genuinely comfortable while you’re away. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible and consistent schedule for pet care throughout the day. I also have pets of my own, so feeding, cleaning, playtime, and routines are already a regular part of my daily life.🤎 I prioritize pet safety by staying attentive, following routines closely, and keeping a clean, secure environment so pets feel comfortable, protected, and well cared for at all times.🤎

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!!
Briony was amazing with Cooper and he really enjoyed his time with her! It was my first time leaving him with a new person. She was very patient, communicative, supportive while I was away. She really went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable with the care she provided. Cooper had several hot spots that were in different phases of healing. She was very attentive to his care and made sure he got what he needed during every visit. Furthermore, after a power outage, my fridge had a leak. She communicated that to me asap and did what she could to ensure there was no additional damage. 10/10 would definitely recommend!!!
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
