About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who just want a little extra love and patience. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m reliable, flexible, and always treat your pet like family because that’s exactly how I’d want mine treated. What makes me different is my calm, caring energy and attention to detail. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and comfort zones whether they need active play, gentle handling, or medication reminders. I have experience with crate training, leash walking, and helping anxious or shy pets feel at ease. My goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet feels at home. As an educator, structure and consistency are a big part of my daily life and that carries over into how I care for pets. My schedule allows me to dedicate time before and after work, as well as weekends, to make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I approach pet care the same way I approach teaching: with patience, understanding, and a genuine love for helping others (whether they walk on two legs or four!). Caring for animals brings balance to my week and gives me joy it’s my way to unwind while doing something meaningful. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my main goal is to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I take time to learn each pet’s routine from feeding times and walks to their favorite toys or chill spots , so I can keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. In my home, pets have a calm, clean space with plenty of attention, outdoor breaks, and playtime. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions closely, and make sure your pet feels at home while you’re away. It’s all about trust you trusting me with your pet, and your pet trusting me to care for them like family.
“Gina is extremely professional and very responsive. I felt very at ease leaving Izzy at home knowing Gina would be coming by. Really great, will definitely use Gina's service again.”
About: I’m a dog lover through and through. I’m a teacher by trade, so I have flexibility during the summers to walk or dog sit, essentially all day! I have experience in walking and boarding large and small breeds alike. I pride myself on providing meaningful and engaging walks and making sure owners feel comfortable and secure by sending updates and pictures during and after care! Hi!! I’m a teacher and I have the summers free, so I use this as an opportunity to pick up extra work that also happens to bring me joy! I can usually work my day around waking your fur babies. I'm all about providing your pup with the utmost care. I have experience with both small and large dogs alike and have no issues walking, feeding, or crating your fur babies!
About: I’ve always had a deep love and respect for animals, and that passion shows in the way I care for each pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs—from energetic puppies needing structure and training, to senior pets requiring patience, gentleness, and extra care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine—I offer evening and weekend availability. I prioritize communication and make sure each pet gets quality attention and care. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have two friendly small dogs, and we keep a calm, safe, and clean environment with plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structured routines. I ensure all pets feel comfortable, loved, and part of the pack.
“We were really happy with the level of care that was provided. Our very easily spooked cat took to Alexandra and he was clearly well taken care of. She provided lots of photos and videos and her arrival times were always as agreed. I will happily try to use her for future cat sitting”
“Pepper has enjoyed her stays with Nasheia and Nina so much that we have made it a weekly thing. With other sitters I would drop pepper off and she would run back to me to pick her up and not want to leave. As soon as Pepper saw Nina she forgot all about me. She comes home happy and tired from all her playing.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of personal attention and care I give each pet. I treat every animal as if they were my own, taking time to learn their routines, personalities, and comfort levels. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and stress-free. I also make sure owners feel at ease by sending regular updates and photos, so they never have to wonder how their pet is doing. I work remote and am pretty flexible. I will schedule my work time around pet care and clients bookings. I like to plan ahead to make sure each pet is given the appropriate amount of care. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable by providing a clean, pet-friendly environment. I also have a fenced back yard for easy access outdoor play area.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenarden
This was my first time using Rover and boy was it worth it! Naomi was absolutely outstanding. A competent and caring professional who I could trust 100% with my pets, my home, and unexpected issues that would arise while I was away (like my dogs tearing up plant food). I couldn’t have asked for a better experience – thank you, Naomi!
Ilia thank you so much for being patient, kind, and genuinely caring with my puppy. Ilia will go above expectations to ensure that your pet feels loved and cared for. She asks questions, was timely, and followed all instructions. I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in your care. I appreciate your help and will continue to book with you.
Alexis was absolutely amazing while we were out of town! She took such great care of Uno and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Uno was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!
Bria was great with our dog. She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand and was able to accommodate doing a drop in visit with short notice. Highly recommend her! We will definitely be reaching out again, when we need someone to check in on our dog. Thanks Bria!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Glenarden 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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
