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.

About: I have 2 cattos, Poppy and Percy. I've grown up with a dog and plenty of other critters, guinea pigs, gerbils, fish and turtles. I'm a professional photographer, and my kitties are my main subjects. I am comfortable watching people furry babies and giving them the attention they want. I've spent my weekends watching my sisters 3 doggos when I lived closer to her. I'm currently working part time and my schedule is flexible during the week. I will have weekend availability for pet visits. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I like to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Very grateful for Majdoline. My cats warmed up to her very quickly and she went above and beyond to follow my instructions thoroughly and precisely. I felt very confident leaving my home and cats in her care and appreciated all the photos and updates. Will definitely be reaching out again for my next trip.”
“Martha was very accommodating with a last minute booking. She didn't get a chance to meet our nervous dog before the appointment, but was still able to coax her from under the bed and get her outside. Highly recommended.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Meade
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!
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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Meade 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 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 .

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 Fort Meade with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
