“Shane did a great job taking care of my older dog over the weekend. He has quickly earned Gizmo’s trust. I look forward to the report and pictures from each visit.”
“Our regular sitter unfortunately couldn’t make it so Jessica swooped in to save the day! She’s so sweet on our senior dog Oscar that we couldn’t be luckier to find Jessica! Thank you for your gentle care of our little precious guy! ???❤️”
About: Since childhood, I’ve had animals - cats, dogs, rodents, reptiles - you name it! For the past 5 years, I’ve volunteered at a cat shelter and now work as a Vet Assistant. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to spend with your pet(s). I have a flexible schedule and I’ll work with you to develop a routine that suits your needs. I’m happy to help with your animal’s medications, exercise, feeding, and general care. As a vet assistant, I have a lot of experience handling and medicating animals.
About: I have administered medication both orally and nasally to both cats and dogs in my time as a pet owner taking care of middle-aged and older furry family members. I work full-time with stable income, in hybrid status. I am in-office Monday through Thursday currently from 7:30am to 3:30pm. I work remotely on Fridays. I like to spend my time with animals as I grew up in New York City and South Florida with 3 dogs and 1 cat.
“First time using rover, and found Johnny. He was wonderful, and my 5 month old German shepherd x malinoi absolutely adored him, Johnny was a good listener and has such good patience. I would definitely recommend him especially for those with high energy puppies or breeds. I know my puppy had such a good time with him with all the photos i received.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12 years old and have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m also happy to follow specific routines, feeding instructions, and care needs to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently in school and have class Monday through Thursday from 6–8 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, walks, and other pet-care needs throughout the week, including weekends. I have a pet-friendly apartment in a safe and comfortable environment where your dog can feel at home. My apartment also has access to a dog park, giving your pup plenty of opportunities for exercise, playtime, and fresh air. I’ll make sure your pet receives attentive, loving care and that their routine and individual needs are respected while they’re with me.
About: With having my own dog and cat, I've worked hard to create harmony in my own home, even while adding in foster dogs to the mix for about a year during covid when I was home all the time. I've done 18 months of dog training with my dog, so I've learned how to manage stressful situations and socialization skills. I take pet care extremely seriously and would care for someone else's fur babies as much as I do my own. I hope you consider me to care for and love on your pet! I work a full-time job, mostly from home currently, but my dog gets walked 3-4x a day, and both of my animals get fed 2x/day. They sleep with me in my bed, snuggled up with me all night. We all hang out together when I'm off of work, and they both know to sit for treats. :) I have a 36" crate and would likely crate a visitor dog for safety when I'm not home. I have a small apartment, so I would need to ensure your pets get along with mine prior to boarding. Otherwise, your pet will be welcomed and encouraged to spend time with my pets and I at all times. ❤️ I don't have a yard, so all walks will be on-leash, except for the off-leash area my neighborhood has - I would only let your pup offleash here if we are alone, though. I would also be very careful with any socialization, steering clear of other dogs, unless we are in your neighborhood and you give me clear instructions on who to socialize with.
“Thank you, Kelly, for checking on my cat! My trip was less stressful knowing he was in good hands, his litter boxes were cleaned, and his water was changed. Thanks for the photos too!”
“Rachel is the absolute best. She genuinely cares for animals and I’m so comforted when traveling to know that they’ll be in her care while I’m away. 10 out of 5 stars every time.”
“Lauren is AMAZING!!! She was very patient and sweet with my shy cat. She gave a detailed report card with lots of pictures after each visit. I’ll definitely book with her again! ❤️”
“Thank you Jo for providing the very best Kitty care while I’m away! Even shy little Livy became your buddy by the end. I couldn’t have asked for better.. I’ve had no worries the whole time I’ve been gone. Thank you so much!!”
“Natalie was outstanding in her visits of my two cats. She is very reliable and efficient and really cares about the work she does. She went over and above what I asked her to do and was so attentive to them and kept me so well informed everyday at every visit with videos and pictures and details. I would hire her again and again and again!”
“Amanda was great to work with! She was able to accommodate my request with short notice. She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos from each visit. My pets were immediately comfortable with her. Would book with her again!”
“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!”
“Gaelle was wonderful! She dropped by to check on our cats while we were away, and sent updates each time she did. It was nice not to have to worry about our furry friends. Thank you! 5 stars, would rebook again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
To say Kimberly was amazing is an understatement. She REALLY cares for the well being of your pets. My one cat can be a stubborn eater and she tried everythunf to get him to eat and was genuinely concerned. I would definitely book her again and again. She is incredible.
Isabel was great! She took such good care of my 6 month old kitten. He’s a handful! She played with him a ton and provided enrichment to help keep him engaged and entertained. She fed him per instruction, and he continued to grow and gain weight! Isabel is friendly, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. And George Michael loved her! I will definitely be requesting her services in the future! She really helped put this anxious “new mom” at ease!
Kaylie is phenomenal! While I was out of town, it became evident my two cats were in careful and loving hands. My only worry was that they would begin to love Kaylie more than me! Happily, they were excited to have me back again, so no issues there. In sum, I trust Kaylie implicitly. She stayed in contact with me and sent snapshots every day. Moreover, my cats clearly took to her in my absence.
Presha was amazing! She was super friendly, caring, and reliable. She took great care of my cat and followed all my instructions carefully. I really appreciated her attention to detail and the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and wonderful pet sitter!
Bre was an outstanding caretaker for our cats while we were away for ten days and. She was thoughtful and patient with my shyest cat, managing to get her to open up a bit for some brushing and play time after a few days of being distant. My youngest cat had plenty of affection and playtime from his new bff as well. Bre is great, and we will book with her again in the future.
Yulia was so wonderful for watching our boys while we were on vacation! She provided detailed updates with each visit and adorable photos. Our boys loved her! Since both have urinary tract disease, it was very important to us that we have regular communication and someone who would be willing to look for the more subtle signs of distress. I felt so comfortable with Yulia and would trust her to take care of the boys if anything were to happen.
Great communication, kind to people and pets. We had to last minute change our trip dates due to a pet injury. Scotty was still able to accommodate us and took great care of our injured dog and two cats. His prompt communication, flexibility, and compassion towards our dog was much appreciated Thanks so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in College Park is $23 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $36 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 15,753 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:
- 84% 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.
