“Sharon L. did an absolutely outstanding job taking care of our cat, Zeus, through drop-in visits. From the start, her professionalism and attention to detail stood out. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, ensuring all arrangements were followed seamlessly. What truly impressed us was her personal touch. Sharon left a thoughtful, handwritten postcard summarizing her visits, which added such a warm and caring touch to the experience. It’s clear she genuinely loves what she does and cares deeply for the animals she looks after. Zeus was happy, well-fed, and content when we returned – a testament to the splendid care Sharon provided. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and professional pet care. Thank you, Sharon!”
About: I grew up on a farm and I have been caring for pets and animals all my life. I had 6 dogs growing up on the farm and I had to care for most of them. I also have extensive knowledge on caring for puppies and elderly animals. As well as dogs in heat and pregnant. I work from home as I own another business that is completely hands off. So I love to be able to help people with their pets in the meantime. The pets will love the home we allow them to roam unless directed by owner to be in the cage. Also we have a backyard that is nice and fenced so they can poop and play.
About: I am a huge dog lover and enjoy walking and playing with dogs in the neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own and enjoy their company. I'm currently working part time and can work with your schedule for dog sitting, walking and more. I just recently graduated college last year and I am looking for work. I am able to take care of trained small and medium sized dogs in my family home, where I have a fenced in backyard, neighborhood for walking and a dog friendly space. My own pup is a cavapoo and very friendly.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience training my own pups multiple times. I bring patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for—treating them like part of my family. Caring for dogs is a natural part of our family’s routine. I work from home twice a week, but my husband is home during the day and loves taking the pups out for walks and playtime on his breaks. We have a large fenced yard that’s great for playtime. I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your dog feel most comfortable—whether that’s sleeping in a crate, curling up beside our bed or sticking to their usual schedule. My goal is to make their stay feel as close to home as possible.
About: I've had pets all my life! I grew up with several cats, fish, a rabbit, and a dog, so I have experience with various animals. I've also taken care of guinea pigs for friends. I'll send photos and updates often so you can stay connected with your pet! I am at work during the day but during the week, I am usually available after 5pm. This means I can do evening visits and walks! I like to be active and really enjoy being outdoors :) During weekends, I am usually available for overnight pet sitting if that is something your pet needs! Having a new person around can be stressful, so I will do my best to make sure your pet is comfortable. When caring for a pet in an owner's house, I am very careful to maintain the state of the home. I also communicate with the owners often and send them cute pictures of their pets!
“Celeste has done a terrific job while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. Our cat Shetani was found to be in excellent spirit on our return and the house was impeccable. Shetani requires a probiotic on a daily basis so he does not throw up and Celeste was able to administer it without any issues. We will definitely ask Celeste to look after Shetani during our next trip! Thanks Celeste!!”
“Yuki provided the highest quality of care to our lovely puppy. Although she can still be a stubborn puppy at times, Yuki was patient with her and gave our pup the best time ever! Yuki also went out of her way to provide extra treats and gifts for Luna knowing that it would help Luna in the long run. 100% found my go to dog sitter for the coming future.”
About: Four years ago I adopted a corgi named Pippin. When I got him, I did not know his history or what environment he was raised in. He came to me incredibly reactive to other dogs, but over time I was able to train him to handle encounters in a safe manner. For the next few years he will be living with my wife while she attends grad school. I would love to care for your dog until my little guy comes back home. I will provide personalized and attentive care to your pup the way I would for my own Pippin. I work an M-F office job that is 10 minutes from my apartment. My evenings and weekends are completely free, but my job still allows me to come home midday to check on your pup if you need any weekday care. My apartment is incredibly pet friendly. My own dog is living with my wife while she attends grad school so I will be able to provide all the care and attention your dog deserves. My apartment is located near a variety of parks and trails, so they will get some wonderful exercise.
“Juna continues to take fantastic care of my hound mix! My dog is always happy to see Juna, and I can tell from her consistent communication and her lovely walking/drop-in photos that my dog continues to enjoy Juna's care and company throughout each booking. Juna has proven to be capable and resourceful throughout all of her visits with my dog, and I'm confident she would be the same with yours, too!”
About: I work from home and am very active! First dog walk is about 5/5:30 AM and again every 2-3 hours. High energy dog? No problem.. if it’s not raining I have rollerblades :) I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old .. from a chihuahua to German shepherd to Rottweiler to teacup pups. Each dog has their own personality so I make sure I keep them nice and tired and petted. I’ve found that makes a pretty happy, chill dog. 😀 I’m a stay at home mom and am home all day, except for random errands, grocery shopping, etc. I am an avid walker (about 7-miles per day) so love the company (dogs, not people) when I can get it! Pups are given my attention all day! Between belly rubs, obedience games, watching tv, getting the mail.. they’re a constant companion and will receive pets throughout the day.
About: Active lifestyle especially suited for high energy dogs. Dependable and trustworthy caretaker. Will provide active fun walks as needed. Will take care of your dog as of my own. Have a daytime job and will be available to house sit your dog at your home if necessary. Weekends are generally available for visiting and walks. Will provide house-sitting service for your pet at your home or make visits for caretaking and walks outside regular daytime work hours. Dependable and committed caretaker.
About: I grew up with animals, especially dogs and just absolutely adore them. I also have a lot of experience pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I will treat your furry friend like my own and will love and care for your little one. My schedule is flexible so that allows me to really dedicate time to make sure your baby gets all the love and care that they need. I also am a runner so can run with your dog. Additionally, i have a puppy of my own so I understand how to work with younger dogs as well. I live in the Germantown are but can travel. Please provide me with information regarding your pet including any special needs, diets, etc. this way I can make sure your pet gets everything they need.
“Mitzi is such a kind person—professional, thoughtful, and responsive. I’ve now used Mitzi’s services twice and have had a wonderful experience each time. I will definitely continue to use her services in the future. Thank you, Mitzi!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs in the family since I was 8 or 9. I love to play with all kinds of dogs and go on long walks. I will be available to take care of your pets anytime weekdays or weekends! I am starting a full time job in mid October but until then I am around. I have a very calm environment with a completely fenced grassy yard with lots of space to play. We have one indoor cat but she can keep to herself or play a little.
“Landy was fantastic! She is very attentive and communicative, giving us detailed daily reports and lots of pics, which gained our trust knowing our cat was in great care. We definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs, and we look forward to booking her in the future to take care of ours.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Echo
Absolutely wonderful dog walker! They are reliable, caring, and clearly have a genuine love for dogs. What really stands out is their thoughtful communication—they always keep me updated, share helpful details about each walk, and make sure I know how my pup is doing. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such attentive and trustworthy hands. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Nicole was reliable and communicative with her drop-ins, and sent notes and pictures about how the cats were doing. She went above and beyond cleaning up barf when both cats decided to puke the same day. My cat really took to her and enjoyed sitting in her lap for pets. I am more at ease when I travel knowing that Nicole is caring for my babies.
Stephanie stepped in on short notice and took great care of our dog and cat while we were away? She left helpful notes, sent photos and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were out of town! I would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her when we travel again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
