“We have worked with Megan countless times. She is thoughtful and conscientious. Our favorite go-to catsitter. Our elder cat needs lots of special attention, and she gets that every time with Megan.”
“Astrid is wonderful! She made us feel very comfortable to leave our cats with her. She would always go above and beyond and send us so many pictures. We will be booking with her again!”
“Will absolutely ask Coralie to watch our boys again. They are each capable of getting a little spicy and it was nice to know that she gets it, doesn’t mind, and will still have chill social time with them. Thanks Coralie!”
“Camila was fantastic! She stopped by several times while we were away for our wedding and made sure we got plenty of updates and photos! Our cat Mimi warmed up to her quickly, and even gave her the coveted floor scoots and belly access!”
“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!!”
“Kendra was very responsive in all our communications. Her care was prompt and thorough and she spent extra time trying to befriend both of my very skittish cats. I would definitely recommend her in caring for your pets.”
“We recently met Amy and have used her for our pet care needs twice in the last two months - once for a long weekend away and again for a longer two week trip. Amy was really flexible with some last-minute scheduling conflicts, and super communicative. Our kitties loved Amy's daily drop-in visits (even our skittish and very shy kitty was so happy to see her) and we were so relieved to be able to travel with peace of mind in knowing Amy was looking after our buddies as she would her own.”
“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: 🐾 Pet Experience I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have been caring for pets since elementary school. I’ve had dogs and cats of my own, giving me years of experience with different personalities, routines, and individual needs. 🐾 Dog Sitting & Pet Care I’ve cared for other people’s dogs and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and a range of personalities and energy levels, including high-energy, timid, and low-energy dogs. I can provide walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and follow specific feeding schedules or routines. 🐾 Veterinary & Animal Care Experience My veterinary internship gave me experience in a professional animal-care setting and helped me develop strong communication, organization, cleanliness, teamwork, patience, and attention-to-detail skills. I’ve also provided husbandry for praying mantises used in college research, which taught me to be consistent and attentive to an animal’s specific care requirements. 🐾 Future Goals I intend to pursue a career working directly with animals and am currently working toward enrolling in a vet tech program. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m currently taking some time away from school while looking for permanent employment, so my schedule is fairly flexible right now. I’m generally available in the mornings and afternoons, especially between 9 AM and 4 PM. I also have pets of my own, so caring for animals is already a regular part of my daily routine. I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s usual schedule and needs. 🐾 I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and able to stick to their normal routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any household preferences. 🐾 I pay attention to each pet’s personality and energy level, giving them space when they need it and plenty of attention when they want it. I also keep their areas clean and make sure they have fresh food and water. 🐾 Since I have pets of my own, I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving them in someone else’s care. I treat every pet with patience and the same level of care and attention I would want for my own.
“Jane took great care of our elderly cat, including giving her multiple medications when the cat struggled with being alone. It was a great relief knowing how well Jane was taking care of our pet.”
About: I have owned my dog, Onna for 11 years now, and along the way gained experience not just caring for her but for other independent clients, friends, and neighbors’ dogs. I am able to administer medication orally and topically and am hyper-attentive to behavior and environment changes that might affect your dog! Although I have a part time job and attend school full time, I always work in visits for dogs before school/work, right after, and any other times the owner wants me to drop in. Plus, I love dropping in to give lots of lovin’s! I treat all clients’ homes as my own. I don’t wander into any rooms I don’t need to be in and nobody but myself will enter the home, and only to take care of the pets, never to linger or just hangout. I want to remain respectful and try not to make messes, if I do, I clean them up.
“We have an older cat who needs medication and a high energy younger cat. Keaton always does a fantastic job with each of them. Keaton is very communicative, organized, and flexible—thank you!”
“Lilla was great for visiting with my two pups! She was flexible and quick to respond when I needed a sitter due to unexpected trip to attend a funeral. She communicated well and provided me pictures of her visits. She even cleaned up after one of my pups when she got sick in the house. I’d recommend her and will use her again. Thank you, Lilla, and sorry about the pup mess!”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend Iris highly enough! She was so kind and patient with my timid pup. She took extra time to make sure my dog was comfortable and cared for. My dog really enjoyed her visit with Iris and I loved working with her. I look forward to booking her again!”
“Obuchi provided excellent care for our cat while we were away. Our normally timid kitty seemed to be very drawn to her. Obuchi went above and beyond to make Ginger feel safe and us to feel secure. I would highly recommend her and would book with her in the future.”
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.
“Ana was extremely flexible with assisting with my two dogs and showed great knowledge in training and handling both of them. They received nothing but love and care from her. I could not recommend her enough and I will definitely be using her in the future!”

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. 🙌🏽
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!

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
