“Amy was great!! Her knowledge about and love for animals was evident and she gave us great updates on our cat while we were away so we felt very comfortable. She went above and beyond leaving the cat areas even tidier than we left them. Thanks Amy!”
About: I am reliable, responsible, active and caring. I owned and trained a Chiweenie for 3 years and would love to pet sit, dog walk or board for you! I work remotely most days. I am free to dog walk/board on most weekends and the occasional weekday. I am also free early mornings and after 5pm. Due to primary work schedule, last minute requests are actually preferred! I am a House Director for UMD Student Housing and have a two bedroom apartment. There is plenty of space in the house for a large or small dog. Good for dogs that like people and belly rubs!
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and affection, and following each owner’s specific instructions. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll keep you updated throughout each visit! I get off of work at a good time to care for your pets in the late afternoons and early evenings. Reliable to meet your needs. I care for every pet according to their individual routine and needs. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, potty breaks, exercise and playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’ll also send you updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Jane was great!! Serena usually hides when a stranger comes in. But Serena did great!! Great feedback from Jane. And pictures!! As a nervous fur mom, Jane will be taking care of my fur baby for a week next month. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!!!!”
“Maura was absolutely wonderful with Duchess! This was my first time leaving Duchess home without me for several days, so I was definitely a little nervous, but Maura made the entire experience so much easier. She was attentive, spent quality time with her, took her on walks, and made sure she was comfortable and well cared for. I especially appreciated how consistent Maura was with sending updates and pictures and letting me know how Duchess was doing throughout the day. I would absolutely book with Maura again. I think Duchess may have officially found herself a new babysitter!”
“Lilla has been amazing with our dog and communication with me. Lloyd was having severe anxiety and Lilla communicated with me every step of the way, on his behavior, shyness, and even when he got a bit aggressive towards her. She comforted him and gave him the space and attention he needed as we devised a plan. I appreciated her openness, understanding and thoughtful approach to our dogs needs!”
About: I provide patient and love for all animals. From walking to snuggling, we always a favorite show to watch. Your pet will be safe in my care. Any time after 5pm on weekdays. Open all day on weekends. I’ll travel in Maryland & Virginia as well if needed for any services for the animal. I treat your home and pet with the utmost respect and care. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, walking, and routines to maintain consistency. I keep your space tidy, provide updates during visits, and ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away.
“We’ve had Astrid cat sit for us 4 times now and she is THE BEST!! She is so sweet and accommodating, trust worthy, and you can tell she really loves and adores our animals. She also sends the cutest pictures. If you are wondering whether or not to book her, DO IT!! She is so wonderful. Thanks Astrid :)”
“Your fur baby will be well looked after of with Daniela. She is very caring, thoughtful and has excellent communication and follow through. My dog fell in love with her. I was able to go out of town and feel confident that my girl was in good hands!”
About: Hi! My name is Hannah and I am a college student paying my way through school. I have two cats and I’ve also cared for family and friend’s pets. I can complete walks, simple grooming, meals, and activities. I’m currently a full time student , but I am available for you and your family anytime on weekends or after 3pm on Thursdays! I am dedicated to caring for your pets and providing them with adequate attention. I believe in meeting animals where they are. I try to establish trust initially so that their comfort is a priority. I am open to any stipulations or accommodations that they may need at any time.
About: Hi! I love all animals and pets! I primarily have experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, birds, hamsters, hermit crabs, and horses as those are the pets I have owned growing up and through adulthood. Most of my care experience has been either for my own pets or for family and friends—all with glowing recommendations! I know basic AFA (Animal First Aid), however, I am not yet certified. I am confident caring for animals of all ages, young through senior. I can provide care for animals that need medications and those with asthma. I would love to take care of your fur babies! I currently work as a nanny to this sweet girl. She’s school aged so I mostly just handle afterschool pickup and care. My schedule may change once school ends late June, however, this can be discussed. It will most likely stay within the hours of the afternoon. My hours currently are 2pm-6pm every weekday. I do not work on the weekends and with afternoon pickup I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your fur babies! I am confident caring for all animals in any space. I am great at following directions, anything you leave will be followed to ensure your fur baby is well taken care of. I always make sure they are well fed, well maintained, and loved while their human is away. Each animal is different and the type of care given depends on the individual pet. All pets will be loved and looked after as if they were my own.
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, and for the past five years I've had the joy of raising my labradoodle Charlotte since she was born. Caring for her taught me how important patience, attention, and consistency are when it comes to keeping dogs happy and healthy. My passion for helping others with their pets started when I began walking my neighbor’s dog to help her out due to limited mobility. Seeing how much that support meant for both her and her dog made me realize how rewarding it is to help families make sure their pets still get the exercise, care, and attention they deserve. I treat every animal like they're my own — with plenty of love, playtime, and attention to their individual needs. Whether it's a relaxing walk, burning off some energy, or just making sure your pup (or kitty) feels safe while you're away, I'm here to help. I'm a fully remote worker, working 4 days a week meaning my weekends are completely free to help take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, and adjust the pace and route depending on the dog’s energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I follow all care instructions closely — whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, playtime, or simply giving your pet attention and companionship while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and make sure everything is left exactly how I found it. I also provide photo and message updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I love pets! I have experience house/dog sitting for clients that have taken vacations of up to 15 days. While house sitting, I can also bring in mail and water plants. In the past, I have been able to watch up to 2 dogs at a time. I love the exercise that comes from walking dogs, and I welcome dogs that have both high and low energy levels. When given specific instructions about caring for someone's dog, I always follow them, never letting my previous experience and "what I usually do" come before meeting the expectations of my clients. I have lived with at least one dog as a pet for 18 years of my life. Let me take care of your dog and be an extension of your love towards them when you cannot be there. I have graduate school classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, but I am free for pet care outside of those hours. I am flexible to work around your schedule. I’ve house sat and taken care of cats and dogs while I’ve lived in the house. I’ve also stopped by house periodically to walk dogs and feed them. I’m open to both methods.
“Lindsay is awesome! On time and super communicative. Her comfortability with Kai and overall experience is very comforting and Kai loved her. Looking forward to booking again soon!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and growing up, neighbors and friends would often reach out to me for pet care! I also volunteered at an animal shelter through middle and high school and, in addition to learning how to properly care for animals, I also learned a lot about reading dog and cat behavior and body language. I also have experience giving medication to cats and dogs (even the most stubborn and wriggly of them all), so if your pet requires medication, you can feel confident that they will get it! I mostly work from home and have a pretty flexible working schedule. The chance to get out of my house, go for a walk, or hang out with a cute cat or dog is always a bonus for me! I look forward to the days I get to take care of someone’s pet because it fits perfectly in my schedule, brings me so much joy, and gives me an opportunity to help others out. I can visit your home to give your pets potty breaks, feedings, walks, or quality time. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of play time and interaction over the course of a home visit!
About: My whole life I have owned dogs, so I am very confident dealing with dogs of any size/age. Additionally, I am an animal lover and will make sure you always have updates on your pet! I am currently a college student on break, so I am available at almost all times of the day! Having two dogs of my own, I am used to frequent walks and playtime. I love taking care of my dogs, whether that includes going on long walks or running around the house playing, I am always interacting and keeping them entertained.

Devin and Precious have been such a blessing for Mocha and for me. They treat Mocha with so much love, care, and attention, and it's clear that they genuinely care about her well-being. Mocha absolutely adores them, and hearing and seeing how excited she gets for her walks says it all. Their reliability, kindness, and dedication give me complete peace of mind each day they dropped in on her. I am incredibly grateful for everything they do and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy dog walkers. I know I will be using their services again!!
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.
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!
Catherine did an amazing job watching my babies while I was out of town. I am so glad I found her on here! It can be difficult finding someone trusted that is also good with your pets. Catherine came right in and immediately my two dogs took a liking to her. Thank you so much Catherine I’ll def be reaching out again soon!

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.

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.

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.
