“Kristen is reliable, trustworthy, and prompt. We are very happy with her and so glad we found her. Finding a reliable person on base was the best thing for us. We definitely recommend her!”
“Although I ended up having to cancel my trip so Ashley/Olivia didn’t end up doing the drop in visits, Olivia was great at the drop-in visit I scheduled before our trip! My chinchillas took to her immediately. Gus, our fiestiest boy, happily accepted cheek scritches from her and another one of my chins even let her pick him up :) That says a lot about how she interacts with animals because as prey animals, trust doesn’t come easily to chinchillas. She also asked a lot of important questions about their care which I appreciated. She was super responsive and flexible about when I came to pick up my key from her. I would feel at ease with her taking care of my pets the next time I need care for them!”

“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: I grew up with pets and have experience with dogs and cats of various ages and sizes! I am comfortable training puppies and administering medication. I adore animals and understand that each pet has a different personality with different needs, I can’t wait to meet your pet! I have a girl dog (5 years old) and a boy cat (2 years old) that are my whole world. I am used to taking my dog out for walks multiple times a day, feeding them both, changing litter, and giving them lots of love! Every pet is different so I will always stop by for an introductory visit before we book to ensure that I am the right fit for your fur babies! During that visit I will also make sure that I understand your pet’s routines and needs so that they can get the care they need!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Meade
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 Pet Sitting in Fort Meade is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 15,629 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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
