About: Hi! I’m a reliable and active dog walker who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a longer outing, or just some attention during a drop-in visit, I’m here to help. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, whether that’s high energy exercise or a slower, relaxed walk. During drop-in visits, I can also handle feeding, fresh water, playtime, and quick updates so you know everything is going well. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’m available everyday of the week unless there is conflict. I’m very flexible and can work with whatever time works best for you . No time is too early or too late I respect the owners home and make sure to stay where I belong . I make sure the pet is safe and visible . I like to keep them engaged and play with them .
About: I have cared for and trained dogs of all different types, sizes, and personalities. When I moved out on my own, I got two cats and have had them both for four-five years. I understand how important pets are to the families they’re belong to as I have never gone without having one in my life. I’m a stay at home military wife with a baby on the way. I have a flexible schedule as I am looking for something to do part time. Although I wouldn’t be able to pet sit at my own home I am more than willing to sit at your home where the animals are most comfortable as well as taking them out to parks/outs.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, and I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented, whether that means going on walks, providing playtime and enrichment, following feeding routines, or giving a senior dog a little extra attention. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training, practice good leash manners, and work on consistency with puppies. I treat every pet as an individual and want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are receiving thoughtful, reliable care while they’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to plan my day around their needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, and companionship. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and don’t like leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to work with each owner’s preferred routine to help their pet feel comfortable and settled. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication if needed, exercise routines, and any special care requirements. I keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, use secure leashes and harnesses, and make sure their environment is safe and comfortable. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I aim to provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. I also respect each pet’s boundaries and personality, allowing them time to adjust and feel comfortable. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.
“Tiffany was very sweet, and beyondf helpful! We got multiple pictures everytime that she stopped by! She communicated with me through every step from booking to her last visit with our animal! She was wonderful!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young, I love dogs. I enjoy meeting their different personality traits and getting to know them. Dogs make my heart melt & my own dog genuinely gets me up every morning. I will take care of your dogs as though they are my own because i know the fear that comes associated since I’ve kept my dog with others myself. I have a pitbull as well as 2 cats so I love any size, any attitude, any pet. They’re all perfect lovable creatures, no matter the personality type & I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them or even just laying with them and cuddling. It’s seratonin for us both! My pets are my best friends and I would like to make your pets the same way. The excitement of seeing my pet friends every day is such a blessing I’m grateful to experience. I have tons of love & affection to give (or none at all, if they prefer) & I’m excited to share it with your pets I’m currently in school for social work so I have a lot of extra time on my hands, I love filling it with our furry friends. I understand all methods of caretaking when it comes to our pets. If your dog is a jumper, I’ll always watch and make sure they don’t jump over any fences. I am somewhat of a hover parent myself & I keep such an eye on my pets, they’ve never had an accident resulting in a vet visit. I also understand sensitive stomachs & our babies that are dying to eat everything, itching for a vet appt but not on my watch. I multitask well so your pet will never go unnoticed.
About: I grew up with many dogs in Northern Minnesota, where I helped my grandma train sled dogs and participate in dog shows. Through that experience, I learned how to care for, train, and understand dogs with different personalities and needs. I am capable of handling all types and sizes of dogs, and would love to help you out! Currently looking for a job, so I’m available every day of the week from 8am-4pm! More than happy to drive to you to give your pup ample exercise. I am very watchful of my surroundings while out with dogs on walks. I am also fairly experienced in reading behavior. I treat every dog like my own and am always looking out for them first.
“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.”
“Whitney was so awesome with our golden retriever! She sent very detailed reports of her visits and tons of pictures. I could tell how happy our pup was to see her everyday and how engaged she was with him. Incredible experience!!”
“Kaela watched our two cats, one is outgoing, the other shy. She came over to meet them before we left and I knew it would be a successful pairing. each day she sent us messages and pictures of our cats and was honest about Greta (shy cat) hiding under the bed. However, she did not let that stop her from trying to bond with Greta . Greta was under the bed so Kaela put her food and medicine next to her, that built trust between them. We appreciate the efforts Kaela employed to make our angels feel safe and loved.”
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.
About: I’m very active myself and would love for you pup to join me! I’m a teacher in Fort Meade, MD. I’ve taken care of my neighbors pups for toy money in middle school. Now, I love pet sitting to keep me active and bring in extra income as a middle school teacher! I am a middle school PE and dance teacher.

Pet 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!
Fennel was GREAT!! She is very dependable, compassionate and shared photos and notes everyday while we were gone. This was a very long trip for us (12 days) and Fennel provided us with a peace of mind. We can’t thank her enough! Highly recommend her. Thank you again Fennel! 😻
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!
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 Pet Sitting in Fort Meade is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 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 15,554 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Meade. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
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.
