“Deann is our absolute fave pet sitter! She was able to pick up our last minute reservation and sent us lots of check-in pictures of our babies while we were away. She went the extra mile and brought in some packages, she was beyond helpful and such a delightful person!”
“Hania watched our kitties for us while we were out of the country on vacation for a week. She went above and beyond what she needed to do for them and all our kitties love her. Even our normally skittish cat Fiona let's her feed her out of her hand and play with her now! Highly highly recommend Hania! She is one of if not the best sitter here in the Lewisburg area!”
“Cari did an amazing job looking after all of our fur/feathered(cats, ducks, rabbits) animals! Great communication and sent updates and pics each visit. She even mastered herding our ducks into their house at night, which can be tricky. Our animals were well taken care of and would definitely use Cari again for our pet needs!”
“Amber is a life saver! She is super flexible, responds quickly and is very considerate about how we raise and train our pup. We have used Amber’s services several times this month and we’re very happy with the care she provides. Boba is always very excited (and relieved) when she visits!”
“Christina sent daily updates to let us know how Zoey was doing. Everything seemed to go great while we were gone and when we came home everything was in place and Zoey was a happy girl. Thanks Christina!”
“Alexandria took very good care of my 2 kitties while I was away recently. She asked questions, made notes and sent daily "report cards" with updates on her daily visits with the kitties. I would consider using her services again. Jagger and Jewels Mom”
“Payten was amazing. She got great pictures of my cats. Even the outside community cats were coming to see her. My foster kittens were a challenge and ahe handled it beautifully.”
“I can’t recommend Katie enough as a dog sitter! She is responsible, caring, and truly loves animals. From the very beginning, Katie was reliable and communicative, always keeping me updated with messages and photos so I knew my dog was happy and well taken care of.”
“Jennifer B. is an excellent petsitter for our cat, Bella. We have used Jennifer B. on four different occasions over the past year for drop-in visits for Bella. Jennifer B. is trustworthy, very efficient, posts pictures of her interactions with Bella during her drop-in visits, and MOST IMPORTANTLY--she is a good caretaker, and our Bella loves Jennifer B.!! ❤️🐈⬛🥰”
About: I'm Hannah! I have two boys, ages 3 and 7. My kids are great with dogs as we have been doing Rover for over 6 years. We are dog lovers and we would love to have your doggy in our home while you are away! I can offer as much or as little outside time that’s needed. Your baby will be in great hands while you’re away and you won’t miss a beat with all the pictures that are sent your way. Your dog will get a lot of outside time, exercise, play time, snuggles and freedom. Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. (: I have a flexible work schedule and work from home 3 days a week. We love to be outdoors playing but are also completely fine staying inside and relaxing. We treat any dog in our home like family. We try to make them feel as comfortable as possible as we understand that being out of their home and away from their owners can cause different behaviors such as anxiety, sadness, hyperness, etc.
“I absolutely recommend Corrinna as a care giver for anyone's pets. We were away for Memorial Day weekend and were thrilled that she was able to fit our fur babies into her busy schedule. Knowing that she is retired and dedicating all her time to pet sitting and drop-ins put our minds at ease. We knew our pups would be well cared for, and they were. Corrinna was on time for the drop-ins and sent pictures and messages with every visit. It was obvious that she was loving on them and that they were happy and content while we were away. We will definitely be booking Corrinna in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I provide attentive, reliable care for your four-legged family members. Whether your pet needs an afternoon stroll, engaging yard playtime, a gentle drop-in visit, or quiet companionship while you’re away, I ensure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. My Background & Experience I’ve shared my home with cats my entire life and currently care for two beloved felines of my own. Two of my family's cats were diabetic, giving me hands-on experience administering feline insulin. I understand subtle body language, strict feeding schedules, and how to help reserved pets feel at ease. When it comes to dogs, meeting neighborhood pups while out on my daily delivery routes is always the highlight of my day—I always keep treats on hand to make fast friends! My hands-on dog experience includes: Playful walks & companionship: Great with friendly, moderately active dogs who enjoy neighborhood strolls, interactive playtime (fetch or gentle tug), and backyard sniff sessions. Senior dog fostering: Fostered an older pup through the Humane Society, providing patient, medication-aware care suited to a relaxed pace. Sitting for friends & neighbors: Experienced handling reliable feeding routines, potty breaks, and check-ins. Midday flexibility: Operating as an independent courier allows me to easily accommodate midday walk breaks and playtime drop-ins during prime work hours. What You Can Expect Safety & Respect: I always confirm dietary restrictions before offering treats and adhere strictly to your leash, feeding, and house rules. Clear Communication: Photo and status updates with every visit so you know your pet is happy and secure. Grounded, Caring Energy: Attentive company for friendly dogs and a gentle, quiet presence for cats. I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a great match! I am an independent contractor and online student, which means I don't work a rigid 9-to-5 desk job. My schedule allows me to quickly adjust to your pet’s routine—whether you need regular mid-day potty breaks while you're at work, evening visits, or flexible weekend care. I focus solely on drop-in visits and walks at your home, keeping stress low for your pets. I respect your home's security, follow your exact feeding and care instructions, and practice careful door awareness so indoor cats and pups never slip out. Your pet receives my undivided care and attention.
About: I have experience with potty training all my puppies since I remember. I am a dog lover but I also love and care for all animals in general. I have also foster a dog last year and it was one of the most satisfying experiences in life. Being able to provide care for those little ones who we love so much. I am free all day every day. But I do have preferred schedules I would like to follow for safety. Regardless, I am flexible to work with what’s best for the pet. Happy to take furry babies in my home. I have a very nice gated park/gazebo are where pups usually meet and play during the day. I will work with the resources provided and go above and beyond to accommodate the needs of the pet.
About: Though I've never had my own dog, I have always adored my loved ones' canine friends! From pitbulls to pugs and everything in-between, I am a reliable and dedicated caretaker for your pups. I am in grad school currently so I am decently flexible aside from my classes and internship. Feel free to inquire beyond what my calendar says on the off chance something has opened up! I am unable to care for pets in my own home but am willing to go to yours. After going through the care plan for your specific pet(s), you can be confident they'll be in good hands with me!
“Natalie is fantastic! Very communicative and I could tell from the questions she asked that she was going to provide great care to my cats on her drop-in visit. Everything went smoothly and I will definitely rebook!”
“Satsuki was an excellent sitter, and would be my first choice in the future. She was very communicative, easy to coordinate with, and took great care of my senior cat Sadie. Sadie seemed very taken with her, which speaks to Satsuki's kindness and care. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a professional, kind, and communicative sitter. Thank you!!”
About: Good on you, friend! You want more than a cold cage for your pup. And you want a family to treat your pup with genuine care and affection when you cannot take her or him with you.

As we live in Hagerstown, we offer free shuttle service for our clients along the I-270 corridor—Bethesda, North Bethesda, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Urbana, and Frederick. Our clients are very welcomed to pick-up and drop-off at our home if their plans take them through Hagerstown. We're excited to be in our sixth year with Rover! During this time, we developed wonderful and continuing relationships with many of our repeat guests and their parents. Find out for yourself why our clients trust us with their precious furry ones and refer to the Lounge as their dogs' "vacation home"...their dogs' "home away from home"...their dogs’ "second home/family". Many of our guests seem to develop friendships among themselves as they often encounter one another at the Lounge. We also understand that a few of our guests' parents have become familiar with one another and occasionally meet at dog parks for playdates.

If our calendar shows we are unavailable, please don’t hesitate to message us just to be sure…we may be able to squeeze you in🐾🐾 Our flexible schedules allow us to be home when your pet is trusted to our care. Plus, our teenager has a very light after school/summer activities and sports schedule. Together, we are committed to care for our guests just as if they were members of our own family. This includes taking your pooch with us when we need to be away from our home, if that is acceptable to you. We’ll send lots of messages with pics and clips that keep you in touch. And you can call us anytime through our Rover phone number if you ever need to discuss a particular matter. We have a spare room with open beds, large crates, and collapsible kennels are available if required/requested. Please remember to pack your dog’s favorite food, treats, toys, blanket, etc., to make their stay more comfortable. We provide the dog beds, bowls, and potty pads and bags, so there's no need for you to worry about any of that.
About: I never had a dog of my own growing up, but I always had a blast watching animals for my family and friends! Taking dogs on walks and simply playing with them is so much fun. I love to be able to bond with pets and really get to know them. I’m not a professional dog trainer, however I’ve attempted to crate train and teach other simple tricks to dogs and was successful. I have experience with senior dogs as well as high energy puppies. I am able to adapt to any dogs personality to ensure they have a great time while their owner is away! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I am currently available full time, Monday-Sunday. I make sure to set aside time for walks, feeding, and playtime with the pets I care for. I also ensure they have regular check-ins and any necessary medication or grooming is done on time. I prioritize their needs around my other commitments, and I’m always flexible to adjust my schedule to accommodate their care. I am not currently able to have pets in my home, however I can travel to your home if dog sitting or an overnight stay is needed!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Halfway
I keep praising this woman, and I will never stop!! She has been there for me every single time, which most of them has been last minute due to my husband's illness. This latest episode was for 5 days and she didn't miss a beat! Naija has been wonderful, amazing, and there beyond anything I could imagine. I'm NOT blowing smoke! She has been an absolute godsend, and if you don't pick her, you're an idiot and missing out on one of God's truest blessings!!
Stacy did a wonderful job caring for my 4 cats while I was out of town 2 weeks. She’s very prompt and friendly in all communication before, during, and after watching the cats. She sent me photos of my cats every day while I was gone, and followed all instructions I gave. I will definitely book her again for future care.
Amazing experience. This was our first weekend away since the addition of our kitty boy and the nerves were high with a sitter falling through previously. She was amazing, sent the cutest pictures during check ins. We got home and he was content and thriving. 10/10

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 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 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 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.
