“We had a good experience with Nina - she and her boyfriend watched our 2 Australian Shepherd for a few hours. They were easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. We’d be happy to use them again!”
“Jennifer was amazing and helped me out last minute when another rover sitter cancelled! She was super responsive and Spike enjoyed spending the day with her and Louis :) I would definitely book again!”
“My dog Eddie had a great time at Marie’s playing with her dog and running around her fenced yard. He came home and promptly crashed. I highly recommend Marie and will be using her again.”
“I always get nervous leaving my 1 year old pup with someone new, but Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful and exceeded all my expectations. I could tell immediately that she’s a dog person, and she sent me tons of updates throughout the day. I’m so grateful for her and will be booking again next time I need daycare!”
“Russ and Andra are excellent dog sitters! They are very reliable and treat our dog like one of their own. They always send cute pictures and videos of our pup running around, playing, and relaxing. Our pup Twyla has the best time when she visits Russ and Andra!”
“Sputnik had a great time with Shane. When we left him at Shane’s place he was exited to arrive and when we picked him up he was happy and tired. Really good experience !”
About: My first two rescues were Rottweilers my third and only child is the child that my mom blessed me with. She is a needy, loving girl but high energy so I’ve dealt with everything from couch potato to high Strong lovely I work from home and my height energy baby is used to go out multiple times a day and she is great with any dog she needs. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I am very active walking them in the neighborhood and we will always make time to go out. We are sidekick and we go walking together, dog parks together, but also she has not ever met a dog that she doesn’t love. Even those in the neighborhood that don’t get along with others love her. I do not have kids, but my nieces who are 5 to 9 or around her often so she is great with them, but I also understand those that don’t want their dog around kids so I will not bring them around them if they are uncomfortable.
“Eduardo and Suseth were fantastic! We appreciated the patience with our puppy and he had a great time with them. Looking forward to booking them again!”
“Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Kasey made me AND Pinot feel so at ease! She was so enjoyable to communicate and work with. Very detailed and thorough in her updates and overall a genuine and caring person! Thank you for having Pinot.”
“Cynthia took fantastic care of Woody during his daycare visit. She took the time to learn his likes/dislikes and quirks so that he felt comfortable in a new place. And she managed to tire him out with fun and adventures with her and the other dogs.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Megan. She really went above and beyond for Ollie and it shows. He crashed every time he came home which shows just how much play he got at Megan’s. We will definitely be back!”
“Behice was amazing with my dog! She is caring, reliable, and kept me updated the whole time. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Within a day's notice, Madina agreed to watch Ali. She was accommodating to an impromptu meet-up and kept an optimistic attitude the entire time. I highly recommend booking with her. Thanks again Madina!”

Tess was great watching Biscotti for the day! She was communicative, made it easy to arrange pick up and drop off, and was clearly comfortable with all of the directions for Biscotti’s care. Most importantly, Biscotti must’ve really enjoyed herself because she was worn out the rest of the day! I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Tess again!
I'm so glad that Boba got to stay with Allie, Austin, and Oakley because we are already familiar with each other from me and Boba taking care of Oakley. They know Boba well and took such good care of him. Allie shared cute pictures and updates throughout the day, which I appreciated greatly!
Jessica took amazing care of Luna. She was communicative during her stay, sending me photos and letting me know how she was doing. This was very reassuring when using a new pet sitter. Luna also took a liking to her and we look forward to booking again with her.
Tricia was great ! We initially did a meet and greet to see if our doggies would get along and we went over how Milo’s daycare day would be. The day of the daycare went great, Milo went on walks and played with Lily and another corgi they were taking care of. She sent a lot of pictures and video of Milo and it was really nice see Milo having fun and relaxing with them ! Thank you Tricia !
Megan was absolutely amazing with Percy and Pico during their doggy daycare stay! She took such great care of them, kept us updated throughout the day, and sent plenty of photos so we could see how much fun they were having. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely book with Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
Chris and Nina were great! I was in town for a short time and needed a last minute day care for my dog. They were able to accommodate my last minute booking. Communication was good and quick. When I asked for pictures and updates they provided them. If I’m in the area again I would book with them.
I needed to find a sitter while traveling to VA for the 4th of July - Christin is a wonderful communicator, and even without the opportunity for a meet and greet I felt very at ease about having Felix stay with her. She was very understanding and flexible with my fluctuating schedule, she and her husband were both very helpful in making Felix feel comfortable when we first arrived, and I had total confidence that he would be well cared for during his stay with her (and he was 😊)!!
Adriana has been an amazing sitter for Rosie! Rosie is always excited to see her, which gives me peace of mind whenever I leave her in Adriana’s care. She is responsible, reliable, and incredibly accommodating, and I always know Rosie will be well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.
Natalie is the best!! She has exceeded any and all expectations as far as taking care of and loving our dog— not to mention how she has been to kind to us by accepting last minute bookings and unexpected longer stays. Our dog is so comfortable with Natalie and in her home which makes any dog parent feel at ease. Natalie sends updates and photos throughout the day which is the best! We have used Natalie many times and will always recommend her!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your College Park commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 5,107 sitters in College Park, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
