About: Hello World! My name is Rouday and I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old. In those 25 years I have had the privilege of raising three dogs, all different shapes and sizes. I enjoy taking dogs on long walks, playing with them at dog parks, and loving up on my furry friends. I currently have an extremely flexible schedule as I work remotely and control my own workflow. I also have two young children that require schedule flexibility. Very safe secure building, which includes dedicated dog walking areas, and also room to groom pets as well. Location is also close to some great parks and walking paths that dogs will enjoy
“Gabs always communicates so well and we always trust our home and pets with them. Gabs even watered our plants while we were out of town, which was super helpful!”
About: Hello! I am a PhD student at UMD studying black bear ecology. I have been an animal lover since I could talk. I own a German shepherd but I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve watched many animals throughout the years for colleagues and friends. I’m new to rover sitting but I am reliable, will be very communicative, and provide the best care to your furry friend. I am a full time student, but I have very flexible hours. I’m open any time on the weekends, as long as I have a few days notice. I can be flexible to your needs! I’ll send you photos, updates on when I am coming and going, follow any rule you have etc. I will care for your animal like my own.
“Emma was very communicative and helpful throughout the week we had her check in on our cats. They both seemed happy and well cared for when we we’re gone. I will definitely hire her again in the future.”
“I can't recommend her enough! She took such wonderful care of my two cats while I was away. She was incredibly responsible, reliable, and attentive throughout the entire time. She also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cats, not just completing the job. When I came home, my cats were happy, healthy, and well taken care of. I truly appreciate all of her hard work and kindness. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, giving pets attention and affection, and following each owner’s specific instructions. I’m responsible, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll keep you updated throughout each visit! I get off of work at a good time to care for your pets in the late afternoons and early evenings. Reliable to meet your needs. I care for every pet according to their individual routine and needs. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they have fresh water, food if needed, potty breaks, exercise and playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I’ll also send you updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Erica is wonderful. She is very professional and always on time. She gets along great with Rayne, who can be a little untrusting, so this is a very big accomplishment. She helped us out on short notice and we truly appreciate everything. We feel lucky to have found her and plan to book her again for all our doggy needs in the future. She is truly a delight.”
About: Hi! My name is Hannah and I am a college student paying my way through school. I have two cats and I’ve also cared for family and friend’s pets. I can complete walks, simple grooming, meals, and activities. I’m currently a full time student , but I am available for you and your family anytime on weekends or after 3pm on Thursdays! I am dedicated to caring for your pets and providing them with adequate attention. I believe in meeting animals where they are. I try to establish trust initially so that their comfort is a priority. I am open to any stipulations or accommodations that they may need at any time.
“Jared was fantastic with our crew! We have a dog and cats who are pretty wary of strangers, but he was so patient and totally respected their boundaries. He eased in slowly and the results were great—everyone was happy and relaxed. The communication was awesome, and we loved getting all the updates. Plus, a huge extra thanks for cleaning up some cat vomit on our bedspread while we were out—definitely went above and beyond!”
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life, and for the past five years I've had the joy of raising my labradoodle Charlotte since she was born. Caring for her taught me how important patience, attention, and consistency are when it comes to keeping dogs happy and healthy. My passion for helping others with their pets started when I began walking my neighbor’s dog to help her out due to limited mobility. Seeing how much that support meant for both her and her dog made me realize how rewarding it is to help families make sure their pets still get the exercise, care, and attention they deserve. I treat every animal like they're my own — with plenty of love, playtime, and attention to their individual needs. Whether it's a relaxing walk, burning off some energy, or just making sure your pup (or kitty) feels safe while you're away, I'm here to help. I'm a fully remote worker, working 4 days a week meaning my weekends are completely free to help take care of your fur baby. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, and adjust the pace and route depending on the dog’s energy level and needs. For drop-in visits, I follow all care instructions closely — whether that’s feeding, refreshing water, playtime, or simply giving your pet attention and companionship while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and make sure everything is left exactly how I found it. I also provide photo and message updates so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for a ferret and a bearded dragon. I strive to be a calm, safe, and comforting presence so your pet feels secure while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like my own and keep you updated every step of the way. I work full-time from Monday to Friday, but my job is not traditional and allows me flexibility with proper notice. I am free in the evenings, other than Thursdays. I am also free on the weekends. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, pay close attention to their needs and behavior, and treat them with the same patience and love I give my own pets. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing.
“We had a great experience working with Carla! Communication with Carla was very good from the start, and she has great reviews, so I felt confident that my cats would receive the very best care. Carla introduced a laser pointer to our cats, which they were really into! Our cars are not as active as they used to be, so I’m glad they had workouts catching the laser while we were away. Carla even remembered to cancel recurring visits before we returned home, so I didn’t have to remember to do it myself. Sorry, my review is a bit hectic, because I’m severely jetlagged and not thinking straight, but I highly recommend Carla’s services!”
“Abigail was fantastic with our dogs, and a pleasure to work with overall. Very responsive, friendly, and reliable. The dogs loved her. Highly recommend booking with her.”
“We really appreciate Zach being available and taking such good care of our three cats and our one foster cat! He navigated our house well and treated all the cats with tenderness. Thank you!”
“Daniela was amazing with Bleu! She was Available at a last minute request, and she took such good care of my dog. Her communication was perfect, she was on time, and she was very friendly. Highly recommended! I will definitely be rebooking her when needed. My dog loved her soo much that she’s the only sitter I want to use moving forward lol. Thank You Daniela :)”
About: I've cared for a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, reptiles, and rabbits. I've been lucky enough to live with several wonderful pets, including special needs dogs, and currently share my home with two wonderful cats. I currently work early mornings, with a fairly flexible schedule. I am currently available for afternoon and evenings, but with notice, I can also provide morning check ins. I have the utmost respect for clients' pets and homes and I want to do everything I can to seamlessly integrate pet care into your routines.

Devin and Precious have been such a blessing for Mocha and for me. They treat Mocha with so much love, care, and attention, and it's clear that they genuinely care about her well-being. Mocha absolutely adores them, and hearing and seeing how excited she gets for her walks says it all. Their reliability, kindness, and dedication give me complete peace of mind each day they dropped in on her. I am incredibly grateful for everything they do and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, trustworthy dog walkers. I know I will be using their services again!!
Madeleine was seriously amazing with my baby Brooklyn!! 🥹💕 Brooklyn is only 16 weeks old so I’m very particular about who I leave her with, especially since she’s still a puppy, but I felt so comfortable having Madeleine take care of her. I booked her for drop-ins for the entire Holiday weekend and she was super sweet, reliable and very flexible with me timewise, especially when some of my plans changed. She was Sooo accommodating which I really appreciated!! She also kept great communication with me before, during AND even after all of the visits were over, which I loved. She followed everything I asked, kept me updated and sent me sooo many cute pics of Brooklyn lol. I could genuinely tell she cared about her and wasn’t just coming over to do a quick drop in and leave She honestly went above and beyond for us 😭💕 she made Brooklyn homemade organic treats AND the cutest little good doggy certificate after their weekend together lol 🥹 and then surprised me with the most beautiful flowers, a card and a Starbucks gift card which I was NOT expecting at all!! It was seriously so thoughtful.🥹🥹🥹 As a first time puppy mom it means a lot to have someone I can actually trust with my crazy little child 😂💕 Brooklyn clearly loved her and I knew she was in good hands while I was gone. I will definitely be booking Madeleine again!! I’m sooo glad we found her and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and take care of their baby. 🥹💕 10/10!!
So many great things to say about Natalie!! She took my booking the same day even though she was not feeling well earlier in the morning she still showed up to care for my Mocha! I had some internet issues right before she was do to leave out and she helped out even more by trying to assist me in fixing the issues with my internet so the tvs would be left on for Mocha while Noone is there. She is truly very caring and communicates very well during her visits! I can't praise her enough! Thank you for everything Natalie!
Emma is amazing with Santino! She takes such great care of him whenever we’re away. She sends photos after every visit, which gives us so much peace of mind, and it’s clear that Santino absolutely loves her. She even opened his Chewy box with him, which was such a thoughtful touch. We always know he’s in great hands with Emma, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Lindsay was great with Mocha today. I'm one of those pet owners that enjoy detailed updates along with photos. She handled Mocha's lil accident in the kitchen without any hesitation was very thoughtful and kind about the situation which is a major plus in my book along with being on time she was even arrived a few mins early!! Highly recommend her services!! Thank you so much Lindsay!!
Amy did a fabulous job with our dogs! She was very considerate of their needs, especially during a few thunderstorms that passed through. She sent lots of pictures and helpful updates. We felt very comfortable with how our dogs were cared for during our vacation. It helped us fully relax and enjoy our time away!
Catherine did an amazing job watching my babies while I was out of town. I am so glad I found her on here! It can be difficult finding someone trusted that is also good with your pets. Catherine came right in and immediately my two dogs took a liking to her. Thank you so much Catherine I’ll def be reaching out again soon!

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 Hyattsville 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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Hyattsville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
