“I could actually enjoy my trip and not worry about my newly diagnosed diabetic cat while he was in the care of Madison. Butters is a big scaredy cat but despite his evasiveness she administered his insulin shots twice a day without fail and even gained his trust a bit. I will book again with Madison next time I leave town! Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had experience working with dogs for almost my entire life with about 10+ years of walking and sitting the dogs of many close family members and friends. I have previous experience taking care of senior animals, such as my 16 year old Westie Schnauzer who required daily shots of insulin. I currently have two 3 year old fur babies! One cuddly, curious Tabby cat and one playful, yet lazy mixed Shepard. Both of which are very chatty and opinionated at times! We’ve learned to speak each other’s languages through repetition and reward. Over the years, I’ve taught my Shepard a whole assortment of tricks that he loves to show off! During my visits, I like to really figure out what the dog wants to do whether that be going for long walks in the park, playing with toys for hours, or just chilling out on the couch getting cuddles. Any health requirements or specific treatment can be handled without any problem as long as I’m given prior notice and instruction. I am a freelance creative who enjoys being outside more than anything. Walking my own dog is the highlight of my day, and walking yours will just add to the fun! The mornings are prime time for me, however, I do have a very flexible schedule to attend to your fur babies! I personally am very particular about things in my home, so I will be sure to give that same respect to you! Dogs stay off the couch? No problem! Cat loves to scratch something they shouldn’t? I’m keeping an eye out! Any and all instructions will be held with the upmost care.
About: Hello! I have taken care of pets since my high school days. I enjoy taking care of pets because it is a calming experience. Not only will I take care of your pet, I will dote on them because I believe these innocent animals deserve to be taken care of. I spend my free time playing outdoors and going on walks. I love to interact with animals. If you have a high energy pet it will fit perfectly with my active lifestyle. I care for pets by understanding their body language to be mindful of their needs. I plan on being a companion to your pet. I find joy in nurturing animals.
“I’m so happy to have found Genevieve to help take care of my puppy! She has been reliable and sends me pictures after her visit, and lets me know details of her visit. She is kind and I feel confident that my baby is in good hands!”
About: Hi :)) I love exercising and being outdoors and nothing is better than doing that with a dog! I love walking and taking care of dogs and I have plenty of experience with dogs (young and old) and their dietary needs, exercise/physical concerns, and making sure that their overall wellbeing is taken care of and adored :)) Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies!! I graduated from UGA with an Economics degree and am currently in school part time (again :(( lol), as well as studying for my CPA exams, so I have a very flexible schedule! I typically exercise early, it could be very early (6am) to 2:00pm in the evening, so I am very open between those times any day of the week to take care of your pet(s) :)) Later evenings are perfectly fine as well! Please let me know what you would like for me to do for your dog (pets), their dietary and exercise/physical needs, and if house sitting along with your pet, what I need to do specifically for your household to ensure a smooth experience! I am more than willing to accommodate and want to make sure everyone is happy and healthy!
“Mary is the absolute best! She’s been watching my cats for a while now and always makes me feel so safe in leaving them in her care :) they’re always well loved while i’m away!”
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.
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.🤎
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: I have been working with dogs for four years now! I started off walking for Wag!, and now I not only do walks, but I am also available for sittings and drop-ins! I have experience walking dogs that tug and dogs that are more slow walker; I enjoy them all! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently in school, so I have Monday-Thursday open for mornings and afternoons ONLY, and Friday and Sunday are open for books all day! I can also do Saturday nights occasionally! While animals are in my care, I love to play with them and give them frequent belly rubs! Whether they go in the backyard to play or they play in the house, I try to keep them occupied with fun!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was four, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. Caring for them makes me genuinely happy; they bring me peace and joy. I love making dogs feel safe, loved, and playful, and this job would let me earn money doing something I truly enjoy: spending time with animals. I currently work during the week at night so i am only available on the weekends and if needed during the week it would have to be early morning I always make sure pets are well fed, get plenty of playtime, and go on walks. I spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while in my care. SERVICES WILL BE DONE AT CLIENTS HOME
“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.

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a College Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
To find sitters in College Park with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
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.
