About: I’ve been a dog owner for over 3 years, with hands on experience in daily care and routines. What sets me apart is my focus on each dog’s well being and happiness I’m attentive, patient, and treat every dog like my own to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time and am a student, but I’m available after 3:30 PM on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, all day Wednesday and Friday, and also on Sundays. I provide a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment for every pet. I live in a three story home with plenty of space to roam, along with a fenced backyard for secure outdoor time. I’m also near a dog park for additional exercise and enrichment. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize supervision, routine, and making sure each pet feels safe and cared for.
About: I treat every dog like family — whether they’re a playful pup or a senior soul who just wants cuddles and calm walks. I have experience with all ages, and I’m especially patient with shy or high-energy dogs. Need someone who understands puppy training, senior care, or medication routines? I got you. I also send regular updates and pics, because I know how much it means to see your fur baby happy and safe while you’re away. I show up on time, follow instructions to the letter, and genuinely love bonding with every pet I meet. Basically: I don’t just “watch” dogs — I vibe with them. Pet care is a regular part of my routine! I build my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, including my own. — whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening cuddle sessions. I keep a flexible calendar so I can be available when you need me most, including weekends and holidays. If your pet has a set routine (meal times, meds, potty breaks, play), I’m all about keeping them on track and stress-free. I plan my days to make sure your fur baby gets the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or caring for them in yours, I aim to make them feel safe, loved, and stress-free. I follow your pet’s routine closely — feeding, walks, meds, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles — just the way they’re used to. In your home, I respect your space like it’s my own and keep everything clean and in order. I make sure your pet feels comfortable while you're away and that you stay updated with daily photos and notes. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have a cozy space, plenty of love, and lots of supervised play and rest. I make sure they feel like part of the family while you're gone.

“Nasheia is incredibly professional, communicative, and so very caring towards our dog Charlie! Charlie has a few special needs in his diet and behavior around other dogs, and Nasheia has handled everything he’s thrown at her. She drops in to our home for feeding and walks while we’re in office a few days during the week, and Charlie absolutely loves her. Nasheia communicates any issues early on, like scheduling or unexpected things happening during visits. She also politely points out when supplies like treats or food are low. She’s forward thinking and that’s a perfect match for us as planners when it comes to our dog. We’d recommend her to anyone!”
“Lilla was great for visiting with my two pups! She was flexible and quick to respond when I needed a sitter due to unexpected trip to attend a funeral. She communicated well and provided me pictures of her visits. She even cleaned up after one of my pups when she got sick in the house. I’d recommend her and will use her again. Thank you, Lilla, and sorry about the pup mess!”

“Talayia! First let me again say Thank You! Now if your reading this and you a pet parent like I am who is just absolutely sick about having to leave you pet, yet alone have a stranger stay/drop in to care for them THEN U MUST BOOK TALAYIA! She was able to accommodate my day of request and even came for a meet and greet prior to our departure. Talayia was so thoughtful and caring of our dog Sadie that there is absolutely no way I will ever not want to use her as our sitter! She followed every guideline I left and went above and beyond to ensure that not only was our pet safe but that Sadie was emotionally safe (she suffers from Separation Anxiety)before leaving. Seriously- Talayia- you have exceeded my expectations and I am so so thankful you were able to watch Sadie for us.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenarden
We instantly felt comfortable upon meeting Naomi! We booked drop in visits during the 4th of July weekend for our dog pack of 3. She's very professional and went the extra mile for our pack and bonus fur baby-the outside neighborhood cat. We definitely will book with Naomi again! 1
My family and I highly recommend Jackalyn services. We took a trip out of the country for some days and having Jackalyn visiting and taking care of our baby furs really made our trip much better, by a lot. Jackalyn was very communicative during her visits during our whole trip including sending daily pictures of our pets’ activities, among other tasks. We will definitely use Jackalyn services when we take future trips out of town and recommend her services without a doubt.
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glenarden. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
