“Shane is always the best sitter for our dogs. We are so sad to be moving away to Oklahoma. Thank Shane for always being reliable and taking care of our dogs while we were out.”
“Kaylie was absolutely wonderful with our cat Mischa. She took her time to give her extra love during her drop in visits. She gave very detailed reports and a collection of adorable pictures. Will definitely reach out to Kaylie when away next time!”
“Victor was absolutely excellent! This was my first time using Rover and Victor ensured it went smoothly. He is extremely professional and knows how to handle your pet. He was very comfortable during our meet & greet with my dog. Some people can get intimidated by her size (great Dane) but he didn't have an issue and she instantly cozied up for pets. He kept to our arranged schedule and was kind enough to send updates and photos throughout. Would highly recommend Victor and I will be booking him again!”
“Ann did a fantastic job at taking care of our 3 month puppy, she was super communicative the entire time and followed the instructions I sent step by step! Definitely recommend Ann!!”
“Erin has been an incredible sitter for my puppy, Sienna! She is kind, dependable, and has such a calming presence. It was obvious from the start that she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. She took her time with Sienna, was incredibly patient, and always kept me updated with thoughtful messages and adorable photos. Knowing Sienna was with someone so attentive made returning to work so much easier. She was punctual, communicative, and went above and beyond by sending frequent updates and photos after each visit. Her genuine compassion, patience, and enthusiasm for dogs really stand out. I’m so grateful to have found someone I completely trust with my puppy, I would happily book Erin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“An absolute professional that brought comfort to us knowing that our cat was in good hands as we left him by himself for the first time. Not only did she comfort him during this lonely time, she also took care of our balcony garden in our absence which led to our first cucumber. We’ve already booked her for our next trip. Highly recommended!”
“Erin provided wonderful care for my cat when I had long travel. She was thoughtful, communicative, and so considerate! Would highly recommend her care.”
“Rachel was great! Very communicative and did everything we asked for, and I really appreciated her stopping by before her first time cat sitting for us for an in person visit. Will absolutely be using her again!!”
“Sara was awesome! She was able to accept a short notice sitting and connected with Silver (my cat) immediately. We appreciated her communication and photos each time and even let us know when she was running late or needed to shift a visit time. I'm sure Silver would absolutely love to have you watch him again!”
“Matthew did a great job. He sent pictures on every visit, and was immediately comfortable with both my dogs. He came to meet them before our out of town trip. He gave me several suggestions for toys and things to use with my dogs.”
“I highly recommend Mariana! From the very beginning, she was flexible, thoughtful, and genuinely caring with my dog. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me informed, which gave me great peace of mind. I’ll admit, I was initially a little uneasy about using a dog walker I hadn’t met in person yet. However, something in my spirit told me my dog was in good hands, and I’m so glad I trusted that feeling. Mariana exceeded my expectations and treated my dog with kindness and care. Thank you so much, Mariana, for your professionalism, compassion, and dedication. I truly appreciate everything you did and would not hesitate to recommend you to others! 🐾💕”
“Rebecca cared for my dog like she was her own! She communicated efficiently, sent pictures, followed Remi’s routine, and kept the house clean. 10/20, would highly recommend. Remi looks forward to seeing her again!”
About: I've been a dog lover my whole life! I've had my own dog since I was 24 years old. Before that I had a family dog growing up. For almost 17 years I had a Boston Terrier. In the time that I had her, I administered various medication and care. I trained her as a puppy at 8 weeks old and took care of her as a senior dog when she was blind and deaf with doggie dementia. I have experience with all ages of dogs. I work full-time as a teacher. During the school year, I'm gone from 8:20am-4:40pm M-F. I do have a dog walker that comes between 11-1 to provide a 15 minute walk. She is able to take 1 other dog with her, with your permission. On the weekends I'm usually home most of the time and love spending it with my pup! Walks at least 3 times a day in a very dog-friendly neighborhood! I have a 7-year-old boxer mix. He is a rescue who is very sweet, but a bit timid at first. He loves to play with other dogs, though! Although I don't have a fenced yard, I do have a tether that allows my dog (and any doggie visitors) to enjoy the outside with supervision, of course! My pup loves to bathe in the sunshine. I live within 10 minutes walking distance of Shirlington dog park. So lots of play time options!
“Skyler has been an absolute blessing to our family! Not only does she take great care of our pup, but she also aids us in his training while we are away. She is very knowledgeable about animals, and she has a huge heart. She has also been very patient as our dog is just a few months old! She keeps us in the loop too :)”
“Hilary was AWESOME. I would highly recommend her, reason being ... her thoughtfulness. Just before my sit started she informed me of something that could change my mind, instead of canceling I keep the booking and I'm glad I did. She came on time even though she could've came anytime that day, she played with Felix, fed him, kept me up to date on his antics (he's a bengal so he's full of them), she left the light on for him and the tv on cat tv so he wouldn't get bored. I would definitely book her again. Thanks Hilary.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
Erin was wonderful with my cat! She was attentive, followed all care instructions, and clearly has a great understanding of cat behavior. As any cat parent knows, not all sitters understand the importance of letting cats approach on their own terms, but Erin absolutely does. My cat warmed up to her very quickly, which says a lot! I highly recommend Erin and would happily book with her again.
Yulia did a fantastic job caring for our kitty Cleo and home while we were away! She was extremely reliable and communicated daily about Cleo’s eating and mood. She went above and beyond to bring in packages and ensure everything was in order. I highly recommend her!

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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
