About: While I’ve always had dogs growing up, I am also very well-versed in dog and cat sitting. Whether that’s walking, feeding, changing cat litter, or simply keeping them company. I’m currently working part-tim so pet care fits great into my daily/weekly routine! I can do daily visits up to 3 times a day, whatever fits your schedule best. I will care for your pets however you prefer. Whether that’s a walk, letting them outside in a safe background, or watching your cat(s).
“Izcali has been great with our two dogs! Both our dogs can be nervous around new people but they took to her very fast. She arrives on schedule each day and takes them out to stretch their legs and potty. She sends us adorable pictures and updates us on what they get up to. Thank you so much for looking after our babies!”

“She was super friendly and very responsive. Communication was quick and easy, and she made the whole experience smooth and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember and have had several pets of my own growing up, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve looked after dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making sure your pet feels loved, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. I recently graduated, so I have a very flexible schedule and can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help. I know how important consistency is for pets, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, for both you and your pet. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking routes. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re happy and doing well. I also treat every home with the utmost respect and will care for your pet as if they were part of my own family.
“Ashley was fantastic with my cat Penny!! Very communicative throughout my entire trip. She was very patient and attentive with my cat, who can get anxious when I travel. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
About: Growing up, caring for animals wasn’t just a hobby—it was a responsibility I took on from a young age. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve been helping stray animals by providing food, basic care, and safe spaces whenever possible. That early experience shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially with shy, anxious, or previously neglected pets. In addition to hands-on experience with strays, I’ve volunteered at pet rescue organizations where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and preparing them for adoption. This has given me experience with pets of all temperaments, including those who need extra patience and attention. Pet sitting has become a steady and meaningful part of my daily routine while I am unemployed. It gives structure to my day, keeps me active, and provides a sense of responsibility. Caring for animals, managing feeding schedules, and ensuring their comfort helps me stay productive while also earning some income and maintaining a positive mindset during this transitional period. --- I do not have pets of my own, but I provide attentive and reliable care for pets in both my home and my clients’ homes, depending on the service requested. In a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, while also ensuring the home remains clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with regular supervision, exercise, and consistent routines to help pets feel at ease. My focus is always on maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and providing a calm, caring experience.
“Rachel is amazing!! Bernard lights up when she comes for their Drop-in Visits! She never complains and always sticks to his schedule! I really appreciate her we're lucky to have found her!!”
“I can't say enough good things about Sarah! She took amazing care of my cat while I was away—feeding, playing, and even sending daily updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. When I came home, my cat was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable cat sitter!”
“Very good with communication, was on time, and even got my Mocha to play and gave her lots of cuddles and love! Absolutely adore Pond. I look forward to Mocha having future visits with him! 5 🌟”
About: I helped raise 3 dogs from puppyhood and cared for one senior dog and cat. The senior dog had major health problems, so I'm more than comfortable caring for pets with specific needs and health difficulties. I'm currently involved in volunteer work, and my schedule is highly flexible, allowing me to be available for the summer. Scheduling will be tailored around you and your pet's unique needs. As a pre-law student, I highly value and respect trust, safety, and boundaries. I promise to respect you, your home, and of course, your pet.
“Brian took care of my cat for 3days, when I was out of town. He sent me pictures every day to let me know everything went well. From the pictures, I can tell my cat enjoyed playing with him and was relaxed. I would like to book Brian to be my cat's sitter next time, if he is available.”
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
I can't recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of my two cats while I was away. She was incredibly responsible, reliable, and attentive throughout the entire time. She also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cats, not just completing the job. When I came home, my cats were happy, healthy, and well taken care of. I truly appreciate all of her hard work and kindness. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
We really appreciate Sarah being able to drop in on our cats with very short notice due to an emergency trip we had to take. Our kitties took to Sarah right away even though they have shied away from strangers before. I hope Sarah won't be a stranger to them for long because we will definitely request her as a sitter for any future trips we will take.
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 17,988 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across College Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in College Park. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
