“This was my second time using Meagan and she was amazing again!! Took care of my two kitties wonderfully. Water, food, and litter boxes were perfect upon arriving home. Even my plants are doing well and she took care of the house too. I will definitely be using her care again if we ever need it. 10/10 we love Meagan!”
“I would like to say thanks to Jazmin for her willingness to continue care of my two pups while my flight was cancelled due to the weather. I appreciate her keeping tabs and updates on my two pups during my absence.”
About: Hi, I’m Ashley — a dedicated and dependable animal lover with over 25 years of experience as a professional, a homeowner and pet caregiver. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home and life with dogs, cats, and even rabbits, and I understand just how important it is to know your pets and home are in safe, capable hands while you’re away. What I Offer: 🐾 Experienced Pet Care – From energetic pups and senior dogs to independent cats and cuddly bunnies, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets with various personalities and needs. I’m confident with administering medications, maintaining feeding routines, and providing lots of love and attention tailored to each animal. 🏡 Reliable Home Stewardship – As a long-time homeowner myself, I know how to care for a home with the same respect and responsibility as my own. Whether it’s bringing in the mail, watering plants, or keeping things tidy and secure, you can travel with total peace of mind. 💬 Clear Communication – I believe trust is built through communication. I’ll keep you updated with regular messages, photos, or videos of your pets, so you’ll never feel far from home. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. My roommate, Holly, and I tag team boarding, pet walking or house sitting jobs depending on our availability. We have a fenced in yard with lots of space to run and sniff! We also live very close to a local park and walking trails. Your pet is like family when at our house, we have 3 high schoolers and 1 preschooler!
“Emily was great and took excellent care of my two cats while I was away! They were very communicative throughout the entire time and they followed all of my instructions exactly as requested. I really appreciated their reliability and attention to detail. I would definitely trust them again in the future.”
“Shannon was a dream! We are so happy we were able to find her before our trip. She went above and beyond making sure our cats were happy and taken care of. She also made sure to send us many updates which really put our minds at ease. Most importantly our cats loved her and felt safe and comfortable with her! We will definitely book with her again when we go out of town!”
“JHahna is great with my Marley. She is always on time, communicates well and follows his care instructions to a T. It feels really good to find a trustworthy and reliable sitter. Marley also loves her doggy which is an extra bonus.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young, I love dogs. I enjoy meeting their different personality traits and getting to know them. Dogs make my heart melt. I will take care of your dogs as though they are my own because i know the fear that comes associated since I’ve kept my dog with others myself. I have a pitbull and a chihuahua as well as 2 cats so I love any size, any attitude. They’re all perfect lovable creatures & I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them or even just laying with them and cuddling. My dogs are my best friends and I would like to make your dogs the same way. They need lots of love attention and affection and I’m willing to provide that when you aren’t able to! I’m currently in school for social work so I have a lot of extra time on my hands, I love filling it with our furry friends. I understand all methods of caretaking when it comes to our pets. If your dog is a jumper, I’ll always watch and make sure they don’t jump over any fences. I am somewhat of a hover parent myself & I keep such an eye on my pets, they’ve never had an accident resulting in a vet visit. I also understand sensitive stomachs & our babies that are dying to eat everything, itching for a vet appt but not on my watch. I multitask well so your pet will never go unnoticed.
About: Hi everyone! I’m a vet tech by day and have been in for about 7 years. I love all fur babies and would love to meet your babies. I’m currently working at a veterinary radiation clinic in Annapolis. I have worked at an Emergency Room for animals in Columbia. I do work from 8am to 1pm but am sometime off early. I will take care of your babies as if they were my own. I understand that our fur babies mean a lot to us and that they are family.
“From the moment Marley met our two cats for the first time I knew I could rest easy on our long trip away. My cat was just coming off a bad reaction to sedation and has hyperasthesia, and she handled his meds and a setback in symptoms effortlessly and with care. She kept us thoroughly updated daily, followed all the instructions and notes I left! and made sure everything was clean on her last day. Most importantly Marley was a caring, loving presence and caregiver for our kitties every day, and was a very kind, compassionate person in all our interactions.”
“Leah was a huge help to us over Labor Day weekend, dropping in to let out and feed our three dogs. My husband and I are both small business owners, so we jumped at the chance to take a brief overnight trip together and Leah’s help made it possible. She was on time and engaging with the dogs and they were well cared for in our absence. We would definitely recommend Leah!”

About: I’ve grown up with huskies and they are very high energy and active! I have experience with puppies as my sister adopted a chocolate lab puppy and I was over almost every week, including several different times where I watched him for a week on my own over the last year. I have also taken care of other small and large dogs and used to volunteer at Lucky Dog in D.C. where I walk ownerless dogs for free. My neighbor has relied on me to take care of her two cats for several different week-long occasions. I love playing with animals and will provide the best care because I know that our pets are our family. I work from home so I am able to watch pets during the day. I work from home Monday through Friday, so I am very flexible. I am able to let your pets out at any time of the day! I used to have a husky of my own so I know how important our “fur-babies” are to us. You can trust that I will give them the best belly rubs, treats, and take them on nice long walks. If you choose me as your pet caretaker you can guarantee your pet will get all the love and care they deserve!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Herald Harbor
Rebecca was available last minute (within 4 days of our trip) to visit our 2 cats. She fed them, played, and took pictures for us. She was reliable and available by phone, was quick to respond. She even brought in a large package we had delivered and checked on a hair straightener I was concerned I left plugged in. She was easy going and we would book her again!
From our first visit with Adelyn we could tell she had a lot of experience and confidence with dogs. She had a few drop ins with our dog and was very communicative and provided a detailed report after along with a bunch of cute pics. Lloyd looked so happy to hang with her! Will book again!
Carla was awazing with our two girls. She took such good care of them. I was able to enjoy time away knowing that they were in good hands. We played with them, gave them so much attention and even cleaned up the yard. I will definitely use Carla again and highly recommend her.
Jazmin has been wonderful!! We are so blessed to have her watch our fur babies. She was always on time, sent at least 10 photos and our pups loved her. She was very conscientious about them eating and even giving them snacks. This was our first time having Jazmin at our home but we will certainly use her services again!!!!
Courtney did an amazing job of taking care of my cat while I was on vacation. Food, water, and litter were good to go the whole time. She even got him to come out of hiding and play around, sending multiple pictures for peace of mind. Overall 5/5, completely hassle free, if I need a pet sitter again she’ll be the first I ask.
Aiden watched our dog and cat for a long weekend and did an amazing job. He checked in regularly, asked questions if needed, and was very responsive. We have a disabled, elderly, dog and he was great at giving her medication too. I definitely recommend using him.
Elizabeth was wonderful! She came and met my pups the day before and they loved her. Everything went off well and I'm having her back already. I really appreciate how flexible she was at a last moment request. And, I loved her report! Will use again! Thank you!

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.
