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 truly can’t imagine life without paws! Caring for dogs and cats has been a lifelong passion. I take a calm, thoughtful, one-on-one approach to pet care, paying close attention to each pet’s individual routine, personality and comfort level so they feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for while away from home. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities and believe quality care goes beyond basic supervision. Much of my approach comes from my own experience as a pet parent. I spent 15 wonderful years with my dog, Fawn, and 18 years with my cat, Pepper. They taught me the importance of understanding and caring for each pet as an individual.

“Beth took care of our 2 cats & home and she was simply awesome! She communicated with us throughout the process and always let us know what is happening. Beth sent us plenty of pictures and as-it-happened updates during her visits and never gave us any reasons to worry. We highly recommend Beth and would gladly work with her again. Five+ stars for this one!”

About: 5 years of dog care experience, I have a great feel for dogs and their needs. I exercise frequently, so your dog will get plenty of play time. I’m also not shy about the dirty tasks of cleaning up after messes in or out of the house. I try to be generous with treats and toys, but I also like to make dogs earn certain items. I’m also a full-time student, so during nap time I can silently study as your dog gets much needed rest. I’ve always wanted a dog, but my living situation will not allow it, so dog sitting is the next best thing. I look forward to meeting your family and taking care of them as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover living in Severn with my two spoiled cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you're away. I have hands-on experience caring for cats and love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'm happy to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. For cats, I understand the importance of respecting their routines, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

I can easily keep your dog separate from my two cats if needed. There is a (unfenced) yard that backs into the woods. My house is tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks, perfect to walk your pup.
“Christine was great. She set up a pre-visit to meet Duke before the official visits started. During the visit she constantly updated me about how Duke was doing. She even watered my plants for me! Overall she was awesome”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Clarice was wonderful. I hired her to feed my birds while we were away over Thanksgiving weekend. She was on time everyday, sent me pictures and a detail video each day of what she did and of my birds. She went above and beyond. She even brought my packages in, which I didn't ask her to do! I will definitely hire her again!”
“Jenny was amazing!! She sent constant updates along with pictures to help us feel at ease while we were away, and she was on time every time. Our pets clearly enjoyed hanging out with her (even our shy cat and anxious dog!) She even went above and beyond to clean up after our dog when he had an accident. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
“Vatia was great with Cindy! I could tell Cindy was getting plenty of love and snuggles while we were out of town. She also communicated proactively and came out to meet us and Cindy before we left town to ensure we all felt comfortable.”
About: I moved away from my parents, but have been the primary care of my dog since she was a pup. I need more animal love! I've also dog sat for my grandmother and neighbors! I work as a teacher nearby, I get off work at 3:30 most days and can be over by 3:45. If it is summer time, it will be lots of time to spend! I care a lot about animals both in how I treat them, and how they are handled by me and others. Obviously you have your rules with your pets that I will follow, but I will never be aggressive, I will treat them with love and care like they are my own. I will also play a lot with them if they want, I will match the energy of your pet!
“Alyssa is so kind and quickly became one of Oliver's favorite people! She's responsive and communicative and I never had any concerns or worries for Oliver's care while she was with him.”
“Joshua was fantastic with my cat Athena. They got along famously when he came for a visit, and I was very happy with the updates he shared during my 9-day trip. He was flexible and responsive and I would happily book with him again.”
“Faith is so wonderful with my dogs. She walked them to the trail all the time which is their favorite place to walk. She even carried a bottle water for the dogs when the weather was very hot. I highly recommend Faith to other dogs owners.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Meade
We’ve had Olivia do drop in visits with our two dogs twice now so far and she has been amazing! She is very responsive and has been extremely helpful with us learning rover. Our two dogs are usually not the best with new people and are reactive, but she has been absolutely wonderful with them.
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.

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 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.

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.

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.
