“Very please with Karen and Lyle. They came to meet Nicklaus and then showed up exactly as planned to walk and feed him. Very reliable and flexible as well when my work schedule changed.”
“Jenna is amazing with my dog and super communicative. She went over the top and helped me out a lot. She also took lots of pictures while I was away and missed my pup.”
“Emma did a fabulous job with our dog Marley! It was just for a short weekend, and it's our first time having Emma watch her but it was a great experience. When we initially did our first meet and greet, she was on time, very punctual and very nice and inviting. All throughout the weekend, she sent photos and updates and very detailed on her visit with Marley. It was great! She is very trustworthy and responsible, I definitely will have Emma again when we go out of town. Thank you so much to Rover for employing such a great person. A bigger thank you to Emma for doing such a wonderful job! 😁🤩”
“She took great care of Nudy while I was away. I really appreciated the detailed updates, photos, and notes after each visit. Nudy looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for, and I could tell she gave him lots of attention. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have 15 years of pet experience ranging from dogs to rodents and bunnies. I have taken care of dogs and have experience with them through their various life stages—from puppy to senior. I am no stranger to administering oral and topical medications for dogs and small animals like rodents. I have 2 years of professional dog walking experience, and I am eager to walk a cat down the sidewalk sometime too. I am a graduate student visiting home for the summer. I’ll be in the Upper Marlboro area from May 20 to August 10th, 2024. Also, for dog walking, my availability is really from 12pm-4pm on the days I highlighted, so it is important you schedule me between that time frame. I will be returning to Florida to complete my degree. I am a rule follower. Before I take on a client I always do a meet and greet to ensure the dog or cat and I are a good fit. Animals can be particular and I avoid perilous situations by meeting the dog to discern whether they like me or not. Once you show me something twice, I never forget it, so providing me with detailed notes on how you want your dog to be walked and situated in your home is ideal.
“Sarah has been a blessing. My shorti is pre diabetic and I feel less stressed knowing that someone as caring and intentive as Sarah is around. Pictures galore and updates ease my mind when I'm away on travel. Sarah has been wonderful and will keep using her as my needs for work travel increases.”
“Rebecca was amazing! She was so accommodating to our last minute booking due to a death in the family. She took all notes for our pup with a couple new ailments. She was awesome about sending pictures and updates. Our pup clearly felt comfortable with her and helped ease any extra anxiety. We've already booked again for an upcoming vacation - highly recommend!”
About: Animals have been part of my life from day one. I grew up with two veterinary technicians as parents, so caring for pets wasn't just something we did, it was part of our family. At 15, I got my first job as a kennel technician, where I learned how to safely handle dogs of every size, age, and personality. Over the years, I've had the joy of owning dogs and cats of all kinds, including raising three Great Pyrenees through college and adulthood. Giant breeds taught me patience, consistency, and how to confidently handle even the strongest dogs. Whether your pup loves a leisurely "sniffari" with plenty of time to explore or prefers an energetic jog to burn off some zoomies, I'm happy to match their pace and personality. I have experience with puppies, seniors, large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between. I know your pets are family, and I'll care for them with the same attention, safety, and love I'd want for my own. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. I'm available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I can often accommodate last-minute requests. My flexible workday means your pets will receive reliable, attentive care and won't be left waiting for their visit. I understand that trusting someone with both your pets and your home is a big decision. I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities, and I'll follow your routines and instructions carefully to help them feel relaxed while you're away. You can expect reliable communication, photo updates, and dependable care every step of the way.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The sitter did an outstanding job taking care of my dog and went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She kept me updated, took great care of my dog, and made me feel completely comfortable while I was away. My dog was happy and well cared for when I got home. I highly recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be rebooking with her again!”
“Tori was able to help me at the last minute with my feral cat. She literally came to my rescue when I wasn't home and forgot to leave food out. I can't thank Tori enough for her exceptional care and communication with me. THANK YOU TORI!!!! Paul”
About: I’ve taken care of family and roommate pets over the last year and a half. I have one pet of my own I have raised since a puppy. I am a compassionate and kind animal lover that enjoys providing pets with enriching experiences. I am a full-time graduate student, but have availability to take care of pets all day on Tuesdays, and Thursday- Sunday. I am flexible for daily and weekly pet routines. I provide fun and enriching experiences for my own dog, and family dogs I have watched. I am comfortable crating, feeding, and reinforcing basic training commands for pets. I love taking dogs on long walks to enrich their lives through smell and exercise.
“Shirel is super dependable and great with my boys! She communicates any changes and is great at following up with anything needed! I receive daily reports and photos of my boys and that eases my mind knowing they were taken care of. Highly recommend her :)”
“Jessica was an amazing drop-in sitter. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of Dice’s latest antics. Her experience as a vet tech made me feel that Dice was in good hands. I would highly recommend Jessica for anyone using her services. They will be assured that they are receiving the best care possible.”
About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover with experience taking care of dogs of different sizes and personalities. I enjoy walking, playing with, feeding, and spending time with pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to each dog’s routine and special needs, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos to their owners. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week.

I’m attentive during every walk, follow your instructions and your dog’s routine, and make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for 🐾
“Dalila was awesome! She was prompt and made sure to play with both the pups. As a person who is on the road a lot for work, it’s nice to be able to rely on someone to come and take care of your fur babies when you are gone. She did exactly that!”
About: I have owned dogs all my life. I grew up with Akitas and Clumber spaniels (It's a real breed) and then got into rescues. My Booboo (Westie) came to me in college and hung out with me in Orlando then in Brooklyn and then back to stay here. My fiancé's dogs moved in during a hurricane and never left. We were up to 3 in a studio apartment. They lived great lives. The current generation are gentle giants. Miles and Bart are their names. I could leave them in a room of toddlers and be absolutely sure nothing would happen. I love dogs. Also dogs love me! I'm the guy at a party the dog hangs out with. I run events at night so I can hang out with your pups in the morning and early afternoon. I have a car so I can get to them your pups fast. I live in a quiet neighborhood in a house with a fence and a pool. I've had friends tell me they hope to come back as my dog. We bought a king size bed so the dogs would be more comfortable. They slept in bed before too it was just far less comfortable for us.
“Natalie was AMAZING and dealt with my crazy schedule changes. My dog, Mijo, loved Natalie and was happier to see her than me! She was a life-saver in a difficult time for me, and made sure that Mijo was taken care of!”

Super helpfully with taking a last minute booking and helped make sure my dog felt loved and cared for. She made sure he got plenty of time and attention and safely secured him back in his kennel. We unfortunately didn’t have time to schedule a pre-visit but she was able to follow my instructions to get in and take care of Milo as needed. I would highly suggest for anyone looking for a sitter.
Camryn was amazing!! Camryn was communicative throughout my entire trip and I felt extremely comfortable leaving my girls alone. She took daily pictures and kept me updated as necessary. The entire process from start to finish went smoothly. She took great care of my girls and would love to have her again! I’m so grateful for her and all she did for us. I would absolutely recommend Camryn for your pet needs. Thank you, Camyrn! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Goldenrod is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $27 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 5,333 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Goldenrod. 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 Goldenrod. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
