About: I've had dogs since I was 9 years old. Friends and family rely on me to walk and feed their dogs. I love playing and caring for dogs! I mostly work from home during the week so I am able to be fully present and attentive to those I am watching during that time. I stick to a schedule based on what their owner has told me what their needs are. I like to stick to their walking and feeding routine, as well as gaining their trust so they are comfortable in my home.
“This was our second time having Taryn drop in on our cat Nimmie. As before, she did an amazing job and communicated very well. Taryn will be our new go to cat sitter as long as she's available.”
“Rachel was amazing and so so helpful. We lost power/wifi while out of town and she offered to try and reset it for us to get our litter robot and automatic feeders back up and running. Will definitely be using her again!!”
“The absolute best sitter you could find!!! Michelle will always be our go to. She is so thoughtful, kind, and communicative. We love all of the thorough updates and beautiful pictures she sends us. We rest easy when we are out of town knowing she is taking such exceptional care of Oliver!”
“Jessica was great! This is the second time we have booked with her. She was able to help us out and do drop ins for our dogs last minute. She communicates everything and is great about double checking details. Our pups were in great care!”
“Talia was very accommodating to our requests even though some of them were last minute. She is very thoughtful and sweet. Our pets seemed to have warmed up after the initial meet up. She treated Kuma and Kitty as her own. We’ll definitely hire her again in the future.”
“Michael was incredibly helpful and accommodating to my cat. We just recently lost our other cat and Michael took extra care to make sure everything went smoothly. He took lots of pictures too! I highly recommend him and I will be rebooking for future trips.”
About: I grew up with several dogs living in CT. Over the last eight years in MD I have offered to pet sit and walk or let out neighbors dogs building clientele. A dog to me is more than a pet its a loving companion, its therapy! Nobody else gives you unconditional love like a dog everyday you come home. I'm currently working remotely, which gives me the freedom to stay at the house all day and to make sure your pet feels comfortable and well taken care of. I like to stay at the client's home to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment and so they can stay in their routine.
About: I've been caring for dogs of all sizes around the multiple states I've lived in for just over half a decade. Also have been a dog owner for a majority of my life and am comfortable giving meds to dogs as well as consistently giving walks to all dogs. Animals are my passion and I am even in school right now for animal based fields Currently job searching so I have all the time in the world to care for both my shih tzu and any other animals that may be included in my house at any given time. I will be able to easily walk and play with dogs of all sizes and ages I do have an apartment, however there is tons of safe and surveilled space to walk dogs and they will easily be able to go on mile+ walks if need be. My dog is another member of the family and I do mean that literally. She is treated as such and even eats at the same time as us (when she feels like it) and your dog will be treated no different than her as all pets deserve the best.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was a kid. Walking, feeding, bathing, and training have all been part of the routine for over 11 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pets time and again, and that trust is something I take seriously. Whether your dog needs a calm and structured walk, a bath, or just good company while you’re away, I bring the same patience and attentiveness every time. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and I have a lot of flexibility throughout the week, so I can work around most schedules. Whether you need someone on short notice, over a weekend, or during the week, I’m generally available and happy to accommodate what works best for you and your dog. Your dog will be in a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard where they can run and play freely. I have pets of my own, so your dog will have friendly company and will be comfortable in an environment that’s already used to animals. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual temperament and make sure every pet in my care feels secure and at ease.
About: I have watched dogs and cats for the past 2 years. I’ve always loved animals and bonding with them! I love dog walking and playing with dogs outside to make them happy. I am very good with caring for dogs and making them feel loved! I am not working another job but I do have practice most nights during the week. However, during the day I will always be around unless I am at the gym or running an errand! I have a fenced yard and 2 very friendly dogs. I take them out every 3 hours and keep a routine schedule of when to feed them. Any dog is able to sleep in my room and bed if they would like.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, always loved taking care of them and giving them the love, attention and care they need! I have one dog, he’s a pitbull who’s been around most of my life. I’ve been dog sitting and walking for a few years now so i have plenty of experience and i’m excited for more! My schedule is pretty clear so i can be very flexible, i'm available Monday-Sunday from 11am-6pm. I can be available most holidays throughout the year. I have a fenced in yard and lots of open space for them to run around. If i’m at a clients house i will be respectful of any rules they may have.
About: I’m currently a college student at St. Mary’s College of Maryland but I’ve always had a dog growing up. Additionally I’ve also had hamsters and fish. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family since I was a teenager. I’ve also used my art background to draw pet portraits for various people! So, I am very comfortable being with dogs of all sizes. Walking them, feeding them, crate/potty training, and of course playing with them! Further more, I’ve worked as a kids art camp counselor for many summers through Abrakadoodle art camps. And while no dogs were on premises (most of the time) I was in charge of keeping kids safe and engaged. I fully understand that animals are family and deserve someone trustworthy to look after them. In the summer I have an internship at the Maryland Anxiety Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays that I will leave early in the morning for and not get back until after 2pm Otherwise I am fully free Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As my only other obligation is an online class! If housesitting is needed I would make absolute sure that nothing gets disrupted and that your pets are on track with their daily routines. I’ve housesat for neighbors before and I understand that an extra level of care is required for the animals overnight. Whether that means making sure they’ve gotten excessive for the day or whether they’ve been given a treat before bed.
About: I have had a dog of every age at some point in my life and they brought me so much joy. I no longer have pets of my own but I would love the chance to care for yours. I am not currently in school so I will have plenty of time to give your pets (or pets) all the love and attention needed. I have a small fenced yard if the service will be done in my home, and will follow the pet parents routine if the service is at your home.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned a dog my entire life and have cared for my rabbit for over four years, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, patient, and caring looking after your pets while you are away. I recently graduated college and am currently searching for a full-time job, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am available most days for pet care and can work around your pet’s routine. I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own space. I follow their normal routine, give them attention, take them on walks, and always make sure they are secure before I leave.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crofton
Rachel was amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and leaving our senior cat for a longer amount of time and Rachel made us feel comfortable from the start. She was very communicative throughout our trip, sending pictures and updates everytime she visited. She gave our cat pills, wet food, cleaned the litter box, and made her feel loved and cared for. She treated our cat as if she was her own. We are very happy with our experience with Rachel!
Talia was very accommodating to our requests even though some of them were last minute. She is very thoughtful and sweet. Our pets seemed to have warmed up after the initial meet up. She treated Kuma and Kitty as her own. We’ll definitely hire her again in the future.
Heather was outstanding watching our two dogs and cat while we were away for 2 weeks. She is reliable, communicates clearly, and is very comfortable handling multiple pets. During our trip, one of our dogs had an unexpected medical issue, and Heather handled everything start to finish. She recognized something wasn’t right, notified us and with our ok took him to the vet, kept us informed the whole time, and took care of the treatment he needed to get better. Her experience working in a veterinary setting really showed, and while we felt completely comfortable trusting her to make the right decisions, she also made sure we knew what was going on every step of the way. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and everything in great shape. Heather is truly extraordinary and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
Trishia was fantastic!! As a new mom of a diabetic pup it’s a bit of a learning curve figuring out how to properly administer insulin. I scheduled Trishia for a drop in and she so gracefully gave me tips and tricks to help the process be more comfortable for Faye and I in the future! I will absolutely be booking her again in the future.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Crofton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
