“Diana was available last minute to stop by and take care of our two large dogs. She was friendly, punctual, and communicative, and she did great with our dogs! Would absolutely book her again in the future.”
About: As stated, I have an 8 almost 8 year old German Shepherd myself. I’ve trained him myself to be quite obedient off leash, to listen well, and overall he’s very well behaved. I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, turtles and more so I know my way around animals. I’m currently enlisted in the United States Navy. I work at the Naval Academy typically from around 9 in the morning to about 3pm most days. I’m also married with two kids and my wife is a stay at home mom who can also look after your furry friends as well. I don’t work weekends so I’m always available during the weekends and can be flexible throughout the week as well. At my home my dog is never crated he is always out and house trained. However, when looking after your fur babies if they need to be crated I have no issue catering to your needs. I don’t have a yard but we have a massive field and live in a circle so long walks are always a must. Whatever the needs of your fur babies, I can take care of those from daily dog walking, spending and playing time with your animals, staying over night at yours/my place, and giving g medicine if needed.
“Michelle was wonderful! She sent lots of photos and detailed updates, which gave me great peace of mind. My cat can be a little shy sometimes, but she absolutely loved Michelle! I highly recommend her and would happily book with her again”
“Megan was absolutely amazing with my cat Frankie! Not only did she follow all of his instructions, but she went above and beyond to do extra, including stay for longer scheduled visits than I had booked, solely because I had expressed Frankie’s need for a little extra company at night. Megan is attentive, caring, a quick responder, and overall an amazing sitter. I will 100% be booking with her again in the future. Frankie says thank you too :)”
“Snowden could not have been better for us! She has amazing energy and our dog took right to her. Incredibly respectful of our home & managing while we were away. We'll become regulars :)”
“Elizabeth was very prompt and professional. My pets are not used to me leaving and she went above and beyond what was expected for each visit. I felt like she was really paying attention to both of my pets specific needs and personalities. She was very flexible with my requests and worked with me to accommodate my pets. I will request her services again if I go out of town.”
“Megan was absolutely amazing with Oreo! She was incredibly kind, reliable, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Oreo in her care. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. Oreo looked happy, relaxed, and right at home with her. It was clear that Megan genuinely cared about her and treated her like one of her own. We would absolutely book with Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Liza is the BEST! This was the first time Liza visited Ruby and we will definitely request her again when we need a sitter. She was understanding of my concern for Ruby’s care. I appreciate her attention to details, her communication with photos and her interaction with Ruby. We came home to a very happy pup.”
“I highly recommend Kacie. She took care of my dog while I was away, very reliable and attentive. And the most important part was that she accommodated her schedule to my needs. She is Very professional and trustworthy, I would def be using her services again in the future.”
About: I can’t provide you references in history of taking care of animals. What I can tell you is that I have two beautiful grown children. We have rescued animals over the last 24 years, and love them dearly as though they are part of the family. We truly love animals with our full heart, and go that extra distance to attend to their needs, and provide the love they deserve. I will provide the same love, care, and joy to your babies as I have done to ours for so many years. I am an empty nester and want to provide my love to where it’s needed and wanted. I work from home and can set own schedule. I am available seven days a week. I will stand behind my commitment to you. Responsibility is my priority. I will love and care for your pets as if they’re my own, and I will follow the rules we’ve established. I have a Pet Sitter Notes page that we can complete together, or I can send to you before my visit that will address some of these questions/ideas. Please give me a chance. I won't let you or your pet down!
“Whitney went above and beyond for our 2 spoiled cats, Kiki & Coco! She took time to figure out which toys were our cat's favorite. Her pictures perfectly captured them in the midst of their playtime. We definitely will be rebooking her for our drop-in needs in the future.”
“Nina is fabulous! She watched our cat during a weekend away and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She is very responsive, friendly and caring. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing that he was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kathryn went above and beyond caring for our senior dog Jackson! We were a bit nervous about using a dog sitter we didn’t know, but Kathryn put us at ease with her kindness and expertise. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Ellie was absolutely amazing! She took marvelous care of our cats and provided detailed notes as to how the cats were doing during each visit. The pictures she provided were adorable. We would gladly re-book her and recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Jazmin has been highly communicative, very proactive, and sent me a lot of photos of the fur babies, which put me at great ease. She’s also been very punctual and checked in with me during the visits. I so appreciate that kind of thoughtful support and strong communication! Will be reaching out to her for future pet care. Thank you, Jazmin!”
About: Adopted 2 Newfoundlands over 20 years, groomed so much fur I could knit a sweater! I understand what Dogs need! Making canines happy until you get home. Availability all week as I am currently not working and would love to walk your dog and make sure they have water and food during the day Experienced in socializing and training pups. I can help keep the manners in check for your pet, whether walking or sitting or staying. Treats are encouraged
“Pros: - Fed them - gave them meds - took them for potty - First time they came they stayed the fully scheduled amount of time - Willing to come to our house before scheduling so the dogs could meet them. Cons: - Only stayed between 12 and 17 minutes for three of the four drop ins - On the second night they didn’t get to our house until two hours after their scheduled time (we have security cameras in our house so we could see). I messaged them and tried calling but they never responded and the call went straight to voicemail.”
“Thanks Phoenix. Reliable, got the job done well and a caring person to trust with my cat visits. I appreciate you watching my kitty kid and will be in contact again for your great services ASAP.”
About: Hi, I’m Tiffany! I’m a lifelong animal lover and the former owner of Jazz Pet Care, a full-time pet sitting and dog walking company that I built from the ground up during college. Through Jazz and growing up with 11 (yes… eleven) cats I gained countless experience helping care for your pets. While I took a break from professionally providing pet care, I’m excited to be back doing what I love through Rover! My goal today with pet care is to help pay back my student loans. Whether it’s feeding, medications, playtime, potty breaks, or extra cuddles, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always have peace of mind. Happy to be a friendly neighbor to you and your pets :) My schedule changes a bit each week, but luckily I have a flexible full-time job! I’m usually available for morning visits before work, lunch-time drop-ins, evening walks, and later evening check-ins. My weekends are flexible too. I occasionally work local events, but I’m almost always nearby and can easily fit visits in before or after. Feel free to reach out, even if your schedule is a little unique! I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home. During each drop-in, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Whether that means feeding, potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, medications, or just keeping them company, I’m happy to tailor each visit to their needs. Before I leave, I always make sure your home is secure and send plenty of photos and an update so you know exactly how your furry family member is doing.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Edgewater
Pam does such a great job in caring for our dog! She puts us at ease when we travel knowing he's being cared for so diligently. She goes above and beyond. Our dog can take a little while getting used to new people but really loves Pam. Will definitely call Pam again!
Marley was absolutely fantastic with our 5-month-old puppy, Goose! He’s definitely a handful, but everything went incredibly smoothly. Her quick and consistent communication before, during, and after her visit gave me complete confidence that he was in great hands. I also loved the pictures she shared and appreciated the updates throughout her time with him. I would happily have Marley watch Goose again and highly recommend her!
Jacqueline is kind, reliable and professional. She also communicates well and is very patient. She took detailed notes on my dogs’ specific needs and quirks, which helped me to feel very confident that they would be in good hands. She took the time to send photos and notes after her visits. I was so surprised by how quickly my rescue dogs got comfortable around her! I feel that anyone would be lucky to have her help with their fur-babies :) We look forward to her helping us out again!
Mara was amazing at caring for my very senior special needs dog and our other dog who doesn't warm up to people so well (but Mara's energy won her over). She provided great pictures to let us know they were doing well. Also, I appreciated how she accommodated our last minute booking when I was having trouble finding anything dog sitter. She's highly skilled and a literal dog whisperer. :-)
This was our first experience with Rover. Ava was professional, timely, and provided great communication during pet sessions. We came home to a happy dog, and a clean home ( Ava even pulled the trash cans down the night before needed due to our late return!!). Definitely worth the price for not having to corral several neighbors to coordinate pet care.
Caitlyn has been wonderful with our dog, Hobo. She was flexible and added in extra walks when we called from vacation and needed it. Her visits have always been lengthy with lots of exercise and playtime, and she was willing to come early mornings and late at night. She sent lots of pictures and it was clear that Hobo was having a great time with her. Caitlyn definitely went above and beyond and I would recommend her 100%.

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 Edgewater 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Edgewater choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Edgewater with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
