“Jennifer and Louis were very friendly and accommodating for me and my pup first overnight stay I was very nervous in the beginning due to it being my dog first overnight stay. I a new to the app and was looking for a playful friendly dog that my dog can stay and play with occasionally. We have found one thank you Jennifer and Louis for your hospitality pictures and videos everything went great!”
“Jodee and AJ are great. They were so patient as I worked through multiple schedule changes with my job leading up to the booking.

“My pup had a great weekend with Aisha over a long weekend. She was great about asking about what I was okay with her doing with my dog, like if it was okay to take him to the park with other dogs. It was my first time using a pet sitter so I was nervous to leave him, but she knew all the right questions to ask to make it a safe and fun weekend for him. I loved the picture updates of how my pup's weekend was going and hearing about what they did that day, and all the communication about her daily schedule and plan for potty breaks. Would definitely recommend her and will be booking again when we need a sitter again!”
“Francise was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Ollie! She took him on lovely walks around town, helped him meet new people, and made sure he got plenty of exercise and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared about his happiness and well-being. I came home to a very content pup! I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
Vivian did a great job taking care of our 2 pups for 2 weeks! She was very flexible and accommodating when we had slight changes to our travel plans. She sent some photos throughout the 2 weeks which was appreciated! I would recommend Vivian to others and use her again!
Such a lovely family! My pups seem to really love their "vacations" and play time with Jennifer & Joel's dogs. I really appreciate their patience with my dogs over excitement at pick up. The daily picture updates are great and show that my pups are well loved in their home. Thank you!
Lauren and her pup Bentley were great hosts for Lincoln! This was our first stay with Lauren, and right from the initial meet and greet, she made us feel comfortable. Lauren made sure Lincoln settled in and sent us lots of photos and videos throughout. We knew Lincoln was well taken care of.
Derek and his wife were excellent hosts for our dog, Kiri. They managed her anxiety medication well and provided helpful daily updates. We also had Derek visit our cat and feed her wet food, but he went above and beyond by playing with the cat every day. That level of care was greatly appreciated.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their College Park home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your College Park.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your College Park sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
