“Obuchi provided excellent care for our cat while we were away. Our normally timid kitty seemed to be very drawn to her. Obuchi went above and beyond to make Ginger feel safe and us to feel secure. I would highly recommend her and would book with her in the future.”


“Jose was responsive in communicating both before and during the booking. He offered to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, which I really appreciated given the short time frame. He was attentive to the details, and took great care of my cat Olive. I would book him again.”

About: I would love for you all to know about my experience with pet sitting, so I would like to start with a quick story. When I was turning five, my grandpa took me to a pet shop the day before my birthday. After feeding the neighborhood cats and playing with the stray puppies, I just knew I’d come home with a dog of my own that day. I was elated — that is, until we left and I was the owner of a bird. As a five year old, I was disappointed! But I grew to love the bird as I realized I loved other animals. And by the time I turned 12, I finally did have pup of my own. I tell that story to say, I have years of personal experience caring for pets, whether they were my own or not. In my family home, we currently have an elderly dog and a teenaged cat - in my apartment, we have a one year old kitten. I love pets of all ages and sizes and I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! You can trust that I’ll give them lots of love and cuddles in your absence! I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible - the main thing I’d have to take into account is commuting! Once I’m there, I’ll have tons of time to spend with your pet, or take them on as many walks as needed. My goal is to make sure you and your pet are happy and comfortable throughout this process! If your pet seems overwhelmed or nervous with me at first, I’ll know how to read this body language and I’ll give them the time and space they need to open up to me. If they want cuddles, they can have as many as they need! I’ll communicate openly with you to ensure your comfort level and trust, and I’ll make sure you and your pet are my top priority!
About: I have experience with both large dogs, small dogs cats and caged pets. I have fostered litters of dogs and cats a few times in the past. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Please reach out if curious, I am willing to work to accommodate you and your pets schedule. I would love to spoil your fur baby! I am flexible with my schedule, I am available every day starting at 4pm. I’m happy to provide care on weekends and nights as well. I live in a home with an unfenced yard in a suburban area in DC. There are plenty of areas for walking that are low traffic. I have 2 friendly cats who are happy to interact with your pets.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets with different personalities, needs, and abilities. I have six cats of my own and also care for a feral cat colony, which has taught me a lot about patience, trust, and meeting animals where they are. I also help care for my family’s dogs, including a very happy three-legged mutt who reminds me every day that a disability doesn’t get in the way of a wonderful life! I’m comfortable administering medications to both cats and dogs, including insulin injections. I also practice cooperative care, helping animals feel safe and comfortable during medication and handling rather than making those experiences scary. I believe building trust and respecting an animal’s boundaries can make a huge difference in their well-being. When pet parents are away, I love doing more than just the basics. I enjoy spending quality time with animals, learning their personalities, and planning enrichment activities that keep them mentally stimulated, engaged, and happy. Whether that means playtime, sniffing games, puzzle feeders, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. I also love learning all the little things that make your pets feel at home! Tell me their favorite treats, toys, hiding spots, sleeping spaces, blankets, routines, and quirky habits. The more I know about what makes them comfortable and happy, the better I can recreate the familiar comforts of home while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel like you’ve just stepped out for coffee rather than gone on vacation! I know how much pets mean to their families, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, enriched, and well cared for while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time apart knowing they’re in good hands! I currently work a desk job but can visit your pet in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I unwind by spending time with animals, so being with your pet will probably be my favorite part of my day. It will not just be another item on my to do list. At home I live on a 1/3 of acer with a fenced in yard. Inside I have a 6 cats with lots of cat trees and space for cats to go up and get a good view of the world. We also have separate rooms for cats (or small dogs) to have their own space if they get overwhelmed or want their own space
“Baylin was great, Rolo is a very anxious and took some time to warm up to Baylin, Baylinn was calm and patient and Rolo eventually warmed up to him and the drop in went well, Roscoe loved Baylin and was happy to be pet the whole time, we will definitely be using Baylin again.”

“When our other sitter dropped last minute, Camille jumped right in. She was so patient with our grumpy old cat and didn't push her, but let her come to her. Great experience! Highly recommend!”

I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult, and senior dogs while following each pet’s routine.

I have a safe and comfortable space for pets when they are in my care, and when caring for pets in their own home, I am respectful of their space and routines.
About: I didn’t have any pets where I lived, but my neighbors sometimes rely on me with walking their dogs, feeding them food, and playing all sorts of sports, games and other fun stuff. I’ll be mostly working part time so I have more time to take care of your friend. I’m also open on weekdays where it counts. I live in an open space community where it’s more safe and accessible for your pets. They have all the resources they need to be more comfortable.
“She is absolutely amazing! We needed her last minute when our sitter fell through when we were out of the country. I was very nervous and she jumped in right away. Kept us constantly updated with pictures. Truly could not recommend her more!”

About: was raised in a family with a long history of breeding and caring for working dogs, and I have been around dogs since I was three years old—nearly 30 years of lifelong experience. I grew up feeding, walking, and caring for breeds ranging from Scottish Terriers and Collies to Borzoi, Belgian Laekenois, and Berger Picards. This background has made me comfortable with dogs of many sizes, temperaments, and activity levels, including large and high-energy breeds. I have also provided paid care for cats and dogs while their owners were away, including feeding, walking, companionship, and administering pills, liquid medications, and topical treatments. I have experience supporting senior pets with mobility, lifting, and gentler handling, while watching closely for changes in mood or behavior. I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of each animal’s individual needs. With anxious or shy pets, I move slowly, read their body language, and respect their boundaries, allowing them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. I take owners’ instructions seriously and care for every animal with the same thoughtfulness and affection I would want for my own pets. I work in Foggy Bottom from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekdays, so I’m available for early-morning and evening care, as well as overnight house-sitting. I may also be able to provide lunchtime visits for clients near Foggy Bottom. On weekends, my schedule is flexible throughout the day, giving me plenty of time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, play, and household access. I pay close attention to pets’ body language, mood, and behavior, and I never force interaction with an anxious or hesitant animal. I double-check doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes, and I will promptly contact the owner if I notice any change or concern. I treat every client’s home with respect and every pet with patience, affection, and attentive care.
“Chanelle went above and beyond taking my dog for a hike with her Mom when it wasn’t required, Her and her Mom loved it (as did Frida) and that makes me very happy. I will absolutely use Chanelle again for any future trips. She’s very pleasant and kind and my dog was taken care of, and very happy and that’s all I can hope for!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hyattsville
Thalia was so friendly and very sweet with our dog, Fig! She did a drop by visit ahead of taking care of Fig while we are out of town and had a lot of great questions. She is very knowledgeable about dog care and we are very happy that Fig will have such a good friend while we're away!

Another wonderful experience!! From the updates, great communication, and photos all through the entire drop in visit.. I love not only hearing but seeing my pup is having a good time and happy when I am away it warms my heart and just puts me at ease all around knowing she is getting the love and care she deserves when I'm away. I can't thank you guys enough for the services you provide to our loved animals!

Madeleine was an awesome drop-in pet sitter for my parrot! She tried very hard to befriend my scared parrot, and left her nuts as treats. Communication was awesome, with Madeleine sending daily pictures and special collages she had created. I’ll definitely use her again.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Hyattsville is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hyattsville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
