“Erica, we want to thank you so much for taking excellent care of our 4 cats. Erica was checking in on our cats twice daily for the week we were on vacation. She arrived right on schedule each day and fed and cared for our cats, and before checkout sent pictures from each visit. When we arrived home our pets were happy and well cared for, thanks to Erica. I highly recommend Erica to anyone who is looking for a reliable, honest and trustworthy caretaker for your pets.”
“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.”
“Carla was amazing! She came by to meet Luke before my trip and sent lots of pictures tires and messages while I was away. It made my first international trip so much better knowing Luke had someone to check in on him. Highly recommend Carla!”
About: I was a longtime dog sitter for some neighbors of mine, and I have also had my own dogs. I have grown up around dogs and have loved pets my entire life! I love the variety of dogs, whether that be their breed, age, or temperament. I love going on walks, thoroughly enjoy playtime, and feel comfortable meeting new pooches! I am currently a full time student here at the University of Maryland, however I like to think of myself as a strong multitasker and student. I am positive I will be able to serve you and your pet needs outside of my class hours. Additionally, I am more than willing to be flexible, and I have found much success in extracurricular activities so far this semester, proving my academic load to be more than manageable. I have a dog of my own with my family back home in Frederick, Maryland. This obviously includes waking up and letting little Bob outside in the morning and throughout the day, and we enjoy going on walks together, and Bob is a very active dog who loves play. He enjoys being chased throughout the house or tossing a ball outside and he even has his own funny, unorthodox sessions of play where Bob enjoys being spoken to or chased without toys. I typically take care of feeding Bob, giving him water, and making him comfortable. I want to meet a dog’s needs, and provide them with a positive experience!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have over 10 years of personal experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, with my third dog passing a little over a year ago, so I am very comfortable caring for multiple pets withe different needs and personalities. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs. One of my dogs was diagnosed with diabetes, so I have over 3 years of experience administering medications and insulin injections. With multiple dogs in the house, I’ve had plenty of experience keep track of different diets, medications, and routines at the same time. I also have experience with anxious and reactive pets, and I understand the importance of being patient, attentive to their body language, and know how to learn the different personality of your pet. I know that every pet has their own routine, personality, and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow any instructions to help your pet feel most comfortable. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention that I give my own. Whether they need a long walk, playtime, medication, or just some love and attention, I want you to feel confident that they’re being well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently a college senior, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for boarding on weekends as well as extended stays throughout the week. I do have classes Monday-Thursday, but I have long breaks throughout the day that will allow me to return for check-ins, walks, and spending time with your pet. Outside of class, I’m home frequently and have plenty of time to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand that I am entering both their space and their pet’s territory. I always approach pets patiently and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I will closely follow any instructions provided regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules so that your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I will treat your home with respect and make sure your pet receives the same care and attention that I would give my own.

I’m currently unemployed, I’ll have all day to tend to your pups/kitties! I’m currently studying virtually, so I can always prioritize them above all. I have a large yard and several parks in my vicinity/nature trail. I have a 2500 sq ft floor, meaning I have plenty of room for a fuzzy friend.
“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.”

“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!!”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
Abigail is hands down the best pet-sitter that we've ever had. We have three cats, two of which I'd describe as being skittish (though non-harmful). By day two, both of those cats were comfortable with Abby! Typically, I tell pet-sitters that those cats may hide the entire time, but that was not the case this time--both cats seemed to hang around her, actively and happily anticipating her visit. When we arrived home, my cats were none the wiser of and clearly had not experienced any anxiety in our absence. It is an immense relief to experience that as a pet-owner and can say that I will continue to book Abby as long as she's available!
Emma was punctual, communicative, and wonderful with my three cats. She cleaned the litter and ensured that everything was completed according to the instructions I gave her. My cats were all happy to get their treats and sat on her lap while she was there. I would not hesitate to use her services again!
We had a great experience with Jane! She was reliable, attentive, and took wonderful care of our Buddy cat. I especially appreciated that she made sure she actually saw our cat before leaving each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure everything was okay. We felt very comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in College Park is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 17,576 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across College Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
