“Kasianay did an absolutely amazing job with our girl Mable. She was very professional and made sure to get any and all information she would need while house sitting for us. She did a great job keeping us up to date which left us feeling safe and comfortable. Our dog Mable always had a big smile in all the pictures she sent. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be requesting her again!”
“Jenny was very communicative, and took great care of our pets! She sent lots of videos and photos of our cat and dog being playful and happy, and we came home to a clean house. Grateful!”
About: Hourly Avail: M: Anytime AFTER 1:30pm T: Anytime BEFORE 2:30pm W: Anytime AFTER 3pm Th: All day F: Anytime BEFORE 5pm S: Anytime BEFORE 5pm Sun: Anytime AFTER 10am I have been a pet owner of large breed and small breed dogs, as well as cats over the course of my entire life. I’m trained not just in human CPR but also dogs and cats. I’ve cared for terminally ill animals, disabled pets, kittens, and puppies. I’m basically open to all, and look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I am a full time student currently, however, always feel free to message me for inquiries as I can sometimes work with scheduling. Please note my daily hourly availability listed below: M: Anytime AFTER 1:30pm T: Anytime BEFORE 2:30pm W: Anytime AFTER 3pm Th: All day F: Anytime BEFORE 5pm S: Anytime BEFORE 5pm Sun: Anytime AFTER 10am I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a large woodsy trail right in my backyard with plenty of run/walk space for the pups (leashed of course). 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.
“I cannot say enough good things about Christian!!! Our sitter fell through last minute and I reached out to Christian about two days before our trip. He got back to me within 30 minutes and then came over to meet the dogs the next day. My dogs and cat immediately took to him! He is a truly lovely young man and he took great care of our buddies, including sending regular pics and updates. I feel so lucky to have found a sitter who we can trust and we will continue to call Christian whenever we need a sitter or dog walker moving forward. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!”
“Tabitha did an excellent job watching my dog, Alice while I was out of town for 5 days. Tabitha sent me updates on a daily basis sometimes even more than once. I would definitely recommend Tabitha and will use her in the future,”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for close family members, caring for their small dogs with love and patience. I also own a Rottweiler, so I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds. These experiences have taught me responsibility, trust, and how to connect with different pets, making me a reliable and caring pet sitter. I’m flexible on weekends, after work hours, and during holidays, which gives me plenty of availability to provide consistent, attentive care. I make sure to prioritize each pet’s needs while balancing my other responsibilities. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always follow their routines to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food, water, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also make sure to follow any special care instructions and keep their space clean. When caring for pets in my own home, I provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of exercise, play, and rest. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel happy and cared for wherever they are.
“Alfie was so well taken care of with Cabby! She watched him for almost a week at our house. We loved the regular updates and all the love and care she gave our sweet (but very needy) Pitt Bull! Cabby is incredible and we are grateful to have found her!”
“We had the pleasure of having Anna take care of Philip while we were away, and she did an outstanding job. She took wonderful care of him, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We came back to a spotless home just as we left it, and most importantly, Philip was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her!”
“Desiree took such good care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats for several nights. She was so responsive and sent regular updates and photos of the pets. She was up for the challenge of managing both an energetic puppy and an older dog on some medications. We can’t recommend her enough!”
“We're so glad we found John! He is an outstanding pet sitter, looking after our two cats and two dogs with such dedication and care. Before our booking, John made sure to meet with us to learn about our pets' specific needs and routines, which really put us at ease. Throughout our time away, he was incredibly communicative, providing daily updates and photos. It was clear that our pets were well taken care of and happy. Additionally, John took great care of our home too. We would definitely hire John again and highly recommend his services.”
About: Hello! My name is jewel and I attend Spelman College where I am a biology major on the pre-vet med track. I love animals and work at a boarding and daycare facility. I have lots of experience taking care of pets including walking, feeding, analyzing behaviors, and spending quality time. I aspire to be a veterinarian and I love and adore all animals. I am a full-time student with lots of flexibility and availability. I just returned to Atlanta but over the summer I worked full-time at a doggy day care and boarding facility in Texas. I prioritize making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I live in an apartment, so I can only accommodate small dogs in my home, but I have plenty of experience caring for dogs there. I’m also an volunteer with the Atlanta Humane Society through their Dog Day Adventure program, where I take dogs out of the shelter for hikes, dog parks, or relaxing at my apartment with lots of attention and belly rubs. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs and always prioritize their safety and well-being.
“We were so sad when we found out our wonderful pet sitter was moving away and were worried that we would have trouble finding someone who would care for and love our dogs like she did. We reached out to Summer mainly because she has great reviews and we are very glad we did. She came to stay with our pups for the first time. She made sure she was there with them most of the time we were gone. She sent regular photo updates and it was reassuring to see how much our pups felt comfortable with her. It really set my mind at ease. I definitely recommend reaching out to Summer if you need someone who will treat your furbabes like her own.”
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.🤎

We booked Saniya for a couple of nights to care for our dog at our house. She was very responsive, professional, caring, and respectful of staying at our house. We loved the daily updates and pictures while we were out of town. Most importantly, we came home to a happy, relaxed dog which was all thanks to Saniya. We will be reaching out to her again.
Sean did amazing. When the trickster Glitch got into something he was not suppose to (my mistake leaving something he could get to). Sean called and took him straight to the emergency he knew existed (I was still Googling). Then sat there and made sure to cover everything with constant communication back to me. The timeliness and attention probably saved my dogs life. You can bet I would recommend him and will be using him again.
OMG, Christian was an absolute saint with my three babies, especially my Rottweiler, Princess, who doesn't usually warm up to strangers. After our meet-and-greet, I knew they were in great hands. I went on a 7-day cruise, and everything went perfectly while I was away. Even though my phone service was sporadic, Christian kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When Princess decided she didn't want to eat because I wasn't home, Christian was incredibly patient and knew exactly how to handle the situation, and before long, she was eating again and doing well. Coming home to three happy, healthy, and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and who truly loves animals, I can't recommend Christian enough. I'll definitely be booking him again!
Kaylah was absolutely amazing with our dog, Shadow! From the moment we connected, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure Shadow’s routine stayed consistent, which was incredibly important to us. Throughout the stay, Kaylah provided updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Shadow was comfortable, happy, and receiving lots of attention and care. Knowing he was in such capable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time away without worrying. We are so grateful for the love and attention Kaylah gave Shadow and would not hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly great with dogs, we highly recommend Kaylah!
I would certainly recommend Chloe! She’s been great with my guy, a French Mastiff, who can be uneasy with new people and she’s been incredible handling him. She communicates before, during, and after all her visits. If you need help with your pup, definitely reach out to Chloe!
Mia is awesome! She was truly a lifesaver when I needed someone to watch my puppy. She made me feel at ease since we first met her and I knew my Eevie was in good hands. Mia provided me updates and pictures throughout the evening. I would definitely recommend Mia to anyone, she is truly great.
Lina was great!! She took care of my dog and cat while I went to the beach for a few days. It was so nice to be able to relax and not worry about my little ones. She communicated often and let me know that they were doing well and that everything was OK at the house. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again in the future! It’s great to know that there are people like her out there! A+++++

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in College Park on Rover is $63.83 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,453 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across College Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred College Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in College Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in College Park. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
