“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”

About: I’ve always taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I begged my mom to get me a dog around that time as well. I promised her I would take care of the dog and do all I needed to do. With that being said I became a pet owner and trained my dog all by myself . From the simple commands, and crate training. I love to treat my current dog(Chloe) like a baby. From cuddles, long walks, nice tasty treats and all the love I can possibly give her. Sometimes I do travel and when I do its hard to find someone to keep Chloe. I realized I can’t be the only one who has experienced this . I am new to the app. I am ready to spread the love in my area. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Can’t wait to meet you ! I do work full time Monday-Friday. I have a Hybrid schedule. I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays . I am open on weekends ! I have a spacious apartment. We also have dog parks in my complex. Lastly my favorite a few different trails/ lakes that I love to walk currently.
“Tiera watched my dog Duke for several days and she did an amazing job, she is extremely dependable. She took pictures of my dog. Sent them to me and most importantly she fell all the instructions to a T. I will definitely be using her again and I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a dog sitter.”

About: Dogs, cats, horses, pigs, I’ve taken care of them all. From the smallest of animals to the largest I have experience the mental aptitude to handle multiple animals. I have taken on rescue dogs, and cats for 3+ years, and been the go to person by friends and family for watching their pets for extended periods. For our boarding dogs I can provide free bathing, safe paw clipping (granted the dog allows it), minor grooming of small dogs, a safe and fun environment. I’m currently living with my boyfriend so the dogs will get double the loving. He is a full time work from home employee with the leisure of working on his own time and pace. I’m a freelance graphic designer with the ability put all my needs towards animals at a moments notice. With the purchase of our house, and our family living near by we hardly travel and can accept pets at a moments notice. Our house is barebones with not a lot to get into. With the addition of multiple pets we understand that some animals may get anxious. We have the ability to separate animals between areas of the house (upstairs and downstairs) while providing them plenty of room still, and walks done individually at the clients request. Our most unique feature is all walks can safely be performed on our own land and doesn’t need to be done in busy areas. We sit on 2.5 acres perfect for walking, and for the more adventurous dogs we have 20 acres just across the street. We require all dogs to be treated with a flea and tick medicine, if you think your dogs medicine will lapse while in our care feel free to leave it with us and we will get it applied. Fleas are an unfortunate common occurrence especially when you have a large amount of dogs come in for boarding, day care and more.
About: An adult who has a big heart for all animals! I have owned pets since the age of twelve. 16+ years of experience working in pet care to include training, boarding/daycare, veterinary medicine, retail, dog-sitting, and dog-walking. Experience in caring for all sizes, rescues, puppies, and senior dogs. Experience with cats, small rodents, and birds too. Can administer oral and topical medications. Alert, observant, and attentive to a pet’s body language and will always try my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved whether it's feeding time, playtime, medication time, a cuddle session, or a walk. When I’m not at home or out and about with my pups and/or peers, I am a full-time Forensic Social Worker who works with incarcerated individuals.

Weekends are more readily available but please do not hesitate to message me and ask about my availability if there is a date and time that is not reflected on my calendar. I accept gigs in MD, DC, and VA. I do not provide services out of my home. I travel to my clients’ homes for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. I ask clients to provide me with clear instructions that list their pets’ feeding schedules, walking schedules, medical needs, etc. and I will accommodate to the best of my ability. Efficiency and communication are key. Progress reports will be given daily.

I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.
About: I love snuggles, walks, and spending quality time with all pups! I’ve cared for many friends’ and family members’ dogs over the years, and I’m the kind of person who’s always stopping to say hi to as many dogs as possible everywhere I go. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive. Whether your pup loves playtime and adventures or prefers naps and quiet company, I adapt to what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. Expect lots of love, attention, photo updates, and peace of mind while your pet is in my care! Starting August 17 I’ll be unavailable from 7AM-4PM during the week due to my full time job. I have off during the summer until Aug 16 so my schedule is pretty open! Beginning Aug 17, I can be available all day if needed on Sat/Sun and before and after work during the week. I honor your pet’s normal routine and give them lots of attention, affection, and companionship while you’re away. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any other care preferences you have. I also make sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles based on their personality and energy level. I know being away from their owners can sometimes be stressful for pets, so I create a calm, loving environment where they feel safe and cared for. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and always keep things clean, organized, and secure. I also send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and doing well!

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and being able to take care of them and get to know them. I had my first pet, a hamster (Snowflake) when I was about 8 years old and after him an old family friend gave me and my family her old dog Nula a beautiful little Yorkie and after her I had a Maltese named snowball for a while who was very sweet. Now I have two dogs, a Multipoo named Henry and Rhodesian Ridgeback named Okoye they are very playful and love getting to know new people and new dogs. I also have a love for cats and have cat sat a couple of times for my friends. I also enjoy walking so having a furry friend to walk along side me is always a joy! I am currently going to school part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your furry family members, pups and kitties alike. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 5pm. I have a fenced in yard and two dog friends to keep your dog or kitty company. I also have a gate inside my house so we can also keep them separate if they want some alone time from each other. If you would like for me to come sit for your fur babies at your home I also offer that service as well and will happily and diligently follow the rules and guidelines that pertain to your furry baby.

About: I've always had pets growing up from snakes, hamsters, dogs, cats and bearded dragons. My family and I love all animals. I have a passion for caring for pets and most pets tend to gravitate towards me. Over the past few years my family has started caring for other people's animals in our home. We have had puppies and also senior dogs that required special attention. My family is full of pet lovers. Dogs tend to follow me around and chill where ever I'm at. If you prefer your dog to be crated I can do that as well. I always follow the same rules you have set in place for your fur babies so they have consistency. Therefore, just let me know what you allow and don't allow and I'll do the same. I have a large fenced in yard and a smaller fenced in portion for fur babys that need less space. We have various dog toys around the house and love playing fetch with the fur babies. Dogs that don't know how to fetch yet can still enjoy running around the back yard as well. We have a dog pool we can setup for hot days with your permission of course. I am also near a park I can take dogs on walks at or around the neighborhood.
“Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”

About: I’ve been taking care of smaller dogs since I was 9, I’ve been around smaller dogs such as yorkies and pomeranians, recently I’ve watched/cared for Maltipoos and Mini Schnauzers under a Puppy Yoga Studio. Additionally I’d also like to mention the last few years I got to experience dog sitting for a bigger breed, an American Bully XL to be specific! I’m a full-time grad student in DC, but I reside in Maryland. I do commute to my classes in DC, my classes take place in the evening on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6pm - 10pm. I care for dogs based upon the instructions of the owner and of course with my own discernment and understanding of particular breeds and the behaviors that come with the breed. Nonetheless, love, play, and care will always be shown :)
“Kathryn was a great cat sitter while we were away! She was able to manage multiple dietary restrictions and all kitties seemed very happy in the check up photos. She communicated regularly asking questions when needed, making us feel totally comfortable leaving our cats in her care.”

About: I may be new to Rover, but not new to dogs. I’ve cared for my own dog and regularly watched family members’ pups, so I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, and just making sure a dog feels safe and loved while their owner’s away. I have a full time day job which is why I chose 3 weekly nights to devote to caring for your dogs in your home I have a puppy who is potty trained and she regularly goes on walks with me. She is well cared for and completely spoiled rotten
“Xianting was very patient and professional and monitor the conditions of my cat closely. It was our first time using rover and we immediately love Xianting and would love to come back to her again. Highly recommended!”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover, a mom, and someone who genuinely enjoys taking care of animals. I’ve had pets throughout my entire life, so I understand that they aren’t “just pets”… they’re family. ❤️ I’m offering drop-in visits and general pet care for people who need a little extra help keeping their furry family members happy, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away or busy. During a visit, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, attention and cuddles, litter box or other pet-area cleanup, medication if needed, and general tidying up after your pet. I’m also happy to follow your normal routines and instructions because I know every animal has their own little quirks and preferences. My goal is simple: you should be able to leave your home knowing your pets are being cared for by someone dependable, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. I’m a mom trying to build a little extra income while helping other pet parents at the same time. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your animals, and I’ll treat that responsibility seriously. I’m not afraid of the less glamorous parts of pet care either. Messes happen. I’ll clean up after your pets and leave their space the way I’d want someone to leave mine. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, some playtime and affection, a fresh litter box, or simply someone to make sure everything is okay, I’d love to help. 🐾 I work full-time and also have a part-time job, so my regular availability is primarily evenings and weekends. That said, I understand that pets don’t always operate on a convenient schedule! I’m happy to work with you to make time for drop-in visits when needed, including checking in, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up, and giving your pets the attention and care they need. My goal is to be dependable and flexible while working around my schedule. Pet safety is always my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routines carefully, while paying close attention to their behavior, surroundings, food, water, and overall well-being. I’ll make sure doors, gates, and other exits are secure, and I’ll never take unnecessary chances with your pet’s safety. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Meade
Madeleine was wonderful! She was available at the last minute, very flexible, and had great communication throughout the process. She took excellent care of my dog and made the entire experience stress-free. I really appreciated her responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our needs. I would definitely recommend Madeleine and would happily book with her again!

I hadn’t left Lucy with a dog sitter before. Sara showed up on time, gave Lucy lots of love, made sure she had lots of exercise, fed her, gave her her treats, and even watered my plants! Sara went above and beyond to make sure Lucy felt safe and comfortable. She did a great job and I will definitely ask her to care for Lucy again! Thank you for letting me enjoy my weekend away, knowing Lucy was well cared for.

Christine was incredible! Super professional, asked a lot of questions, and easy to communicate with. She went above and beyond in her drop in visits with our dog, gave updates, and provided great photos. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again

Jusskayy is a sweetheart! She accommodated me on short notice without a prior meet and greet and I am sooo thankful. She asked all the right questions prior to arrival and it was wonderful. Made me think of things I totally forgot to inform her about. She went over, spend time with my pup and left everything just as she got it. She is a definite top 5 on my sitters to use again!

We couldn’t be happier with Sabine’s care for our miniature Goldendoodle. My Indiana is an anxious pup who requires a bit of patience and we were very pleased with all of the effort, communication and pictures that were provided while we were out of town! 10/10 would definitely book with her again!

I cannot say enough great things about Angela. She took such wonderful care of my two boxers and treated them like family. I got consistent updates and adorable photos that made me feel completely at ease while I was away especially since one of them is disabled. Both pups seemed happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved in every photo shared. Her communication, reliability, and genuine care makes her an absolute 5‑star sitter. Would highly recommend and will book again when needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fort Meade is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 14,933 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fort Meade. 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.
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 Fort Meade 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 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.
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 Fort Meade with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
