“What a great first time experience on Rover with Astrid! She was friendly, communicative and thoughtful; her love for animals really showed. Thank you for taking care of our Mellow!”
About: I would love for you all to know about my experience with pet sitting, so I would like to start with a quick story. When I was turning five, my grandpa took me to a pet shop the day before my birthday. After feeding the neighborhood cats and playing with the stray puppies, I just knew I’d come home with a dog of my own that day. I was elated — that is, until we left and I was the owner of a bird. As a five year old, I was disappointed! But I grew to love the bird as I realized I loved other animals. And by the time I turned 12, I finally did have pup of my own. I tell that story to say, I have years of personal experience caring for pets, whether they were my own or not. In my family home, we currently have an elderly dog and a teenaged cat - in my apartment, we have a one year old kitten. I love pets of all ages and sizes and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! You can trust that I’ll give them lots of love and cuddles in your absence! I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible - the main thing I’d have to take into account is commuting! Once I’m there, I’ll have tons of time to spend with your pet, or take them on as many walks as needed. My goal is to make sure you and your pet are happy and comfortable throughout this process! If your pet seems overwhelmed or nervous with me at first, I’ll know how to read this body language and I’ll give them the time and space they need to open up to me. If they want cuddles, they can have as many as they need! I’ll communicate openly with you to ensure your comfort level and trust, and I’ll make sure you and your pet are my top priority!
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!
About: Hello World! My name is Rouday and I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. In those 25 years I have had the privilege of raising three dogs, all different shapes and sizes. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, playing with them at dog parks, and loving up on my furry friends. I currently have an extremely flexible schedule as I work remotely and control my own workflow. I also have two young children that require schedule flexibility. Very safe secure building, which includes dedicated dog walking areas, and also room to groom pets as well. Location is also close to some great parks and walking paths that dogs will enjoy
About: I’ve had 3 dogs that have all lived long happy lives. I have stayed overnight with dogs of all sizes. Love all animals! I have a platform that highlights pet owners and nature. I work remotely and have flexibility that allows me to be present for the animals I care for. I have a schedule I follow, so I will be available as needed and great communication I ask clients to be clear on their preferences so we have a safe and fun experience. I am open to trials and meet and greets as well.
“Thalia was great! She came to do drop ins with my dog and cat over the weekend and did a great job. The boys were very happy with their care. Thalia even was able to do a quick meet and greet prior to the scheduled drop ins to make sure the boys were comfortable with her.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and bring over five years of dedicated walking and sitting experience to the table. As a distance runner who loves training for races, I am a fantastic match for high-energy breeds that need to burn off steam with long, active routes. I am highly reliable, communicative, and dedicated to keeping your pup safe, exercised, and happy! I work a hybrid 9-5 job, but I am remote on Mondays and Fridays, and my hours are very flexible, so most days I don't leave for the office until 9:30 or I come home early around 3:30! I love taking my dogs out on walks in the morning when it is nice and cool outside to avoid the heat, as well as letting them out to play with me in the backyard so that they can stretch their legs. I love to give them extra pets and treats as a small reward for their physical activities.
About: I provide reliable dog care including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and medication if needed. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult, and senior dogs while following each pet’s routine. I use patience and positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, and my flexible part-time schedule allows me to give every dog personalized attention and dependable care. My part-time schedule allows me to provide flexible, attentive care for pets while giving them the patience. I focus on trust, patience, and keeping each pet’s routine consistent while they’re in my care. I have a safe and comfortable space for pets when they are in my care, and when caring for pets in their own home, I am respectful of their space and routines.
About: Many of my friends often trust me with their dogs and cats which gives me a variety of experiences with many different ages and breeds I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I enjoy having them around the house with me. My house is currently pet free so your animal will of course have free roam of the house and plenty of space to roam around freely.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and birds! As a bird owner myself, I love being around animals. I’ve helped my friends pet sit their animals, so I’m very used to it. I’m currently in college, but I have very free weekends and most of my classes are spaced apart! I have a lot of time on my hands to play and walk your pets! We have an apartment complex that is animal friendly and we also have a great dog park in the back of the apartment as well.
About: I have been raised around animals all my life so I am prepared for any animal emergency! My experience helps me conquer behavioral issues in animals and navigate how to cater your pets needs. When I’m not at college I don’t have a full time job so pet sitting fits into my schedule perfectly! Contact me for any scheduling conflicts. I have a fully fenced off yard with 3 dogs who are good around other animals. I also have 2 cats who are friendly to all animals as well.
About: 34 years old & looking to spend my spare time walking adorable dogs. I am very comfortable around all dogs, all sizes - in my years dog sitting/walking, I've cared for Labs, Great Danes, Pitbulls & Shar Peis. I love long walks; my chocolate lab and I went on 45 minute walks, twice a day. I will feed, walk, brush dogs - and help them reach the daily belly rub quota. I'm currently working part time, so the best schedule for your pup is the best schedule for me. Happy to accomadate early birds and night owls. I'm great at following instructions; happy to follow whatever routine is best for your dog so they feel comfortable at my arrival. I want your pup to be happy when they see me coming to meet them!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have learned how to care, play, and communicate with them through a lifetime of caring for them in my own home. I’ve come to love their little personalities, every pet a distinct individual. I also have experience working in a local pet store and know a great deal about nutrition and treats for pets. I can walk, check in on, or sit for your pet while you’re away in a safe, trustworthy manner. Dogs of all sizes as well as cats are welcome! I hope you’ll consider me today! I’m a full time college student, so my schedule is very flexible. I am most available in the summer and winter, but during the semester I’ll have plenty of time fri-sun and later availability mon-thur! I am able to control rowdy/excited animals on walks and have extensive knowledge in pet diet restrictions. Pet care may seem simple, but I take their safety and security very seriously. If anything unusual happens, you’ll be notified straight away.
“Pambi did a great job taking care of our two kittens. She was communicative, flexible, and great with our pets. She asked clarifying questions as needed and made adjustments to her schedule to accommodate our preferences for the cats feeding times. She shared lots of photos of our cats and spent time playing with and giving attention to them.”
“Jocabet was a lifesaver! She filled in last minute when our usual walker wasn’t available and was very communicative, punctual and gave great updates as well as photos. We will definitely book her again!”
“Jason was wonderful. He was communicative, went above and beyond (like offering to pick up more food when I miscounted and didn't leave enough cans of food), and was generally lovely to correspond with. Me and my cats wholeheartedly endorse!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
Baylin was great, Rolo is a very anxious and took some time to warm up to Baylin, Baylinn was calm and patient and Rolo eventually warmed up to him and the drop in went well, Roscoe loved Baylin and was happy to be pet the whole time, we will definitely be using Baylin again.
Bryanna was wonderful with our furry crew! She took such great care of everyone and even our shyest kitties opened up to her! I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for conscientious and loving care for your pets. She was timely and communicated well with us the entire time.
Another wonderful experience!! From the updates, great communication, and photos all through the entire drop in visit.. I love not only hearing but seeing my pup is having a good time and happy when I am away it warms my heart and just puts me at ease all around knowing she is getting the love and care she deserves when I'm away. I can't thank you guys enough for the services you provide to our loved animals!
Trish does the hero job of locating all the balls that my girl plays with and sometimes “forgets” to bring back. She’ll also do sweet things like crumble up and cookie treat and toss it in L’s box 📦 . Our dog loves fetch and cardboard. 🤷♀️ We are very happy with Trish time. 🙌🏽
We were really hesitant at first because this will be the first times our dogs got visited by a sitter, Alexander made everything easy, they went to my home even before the actual dates to meet my dogs i have 3, my dogs instantly liked him, we had alex come by to our home 3 times during the day, he took them out for walks, spend time with them, and also feed them with no problems whats so ever, send pictures updates, really recommend him
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.

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. 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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
