House Sitting in Landover Hills

“Was able to come on short notice. Did an amazing job once again. So good with my dog and cat. Left the house in better condition than I left it.”

“Micaela was amazing! She responded to a last minute booking and was very communicative the whole time. She sent pictures and asked questions and my pup loved her! Will definitely book again!”

Jessie M.

“Karleigh was great with our boy. She sent plenty of photos and wasn't afraid to ask any questions that came up during the booking. Very communicative and Hunter definitely had a good time with her!”

About: I have been petsitting, house sitting, cat sitting, and farm sitting since Rover was DogVacay, but actually since I was a child caring for my neighbors pets and horses. My dog Quill is around 8 years old and gets along with almost everyone. No one is perfect. That's why I ask that you allow enough time to schedule a Meet-N-Greet so we know your dog, my dog, and I are a good fit. I do not accept dogs that are not spayed or neutered. Sorry:( I am skilled at giving pills, liquid oral medications, and subcutaneous shots. (think diabetics and thyroid disease for cats) We have taken in a family member's cat in the past year. She is the queen of the household and is not intimidated by most dogs as long as they are not aggressive toward her. I can do drop in visits for cats, reptiles, and birds as needed. I do accept reptiles and birds into my home as well. My Husband and Stepson enjoy all the animals that come and go. I am working full time until June 17th, therefore I only accept dogs on the weekends until school is out. I just updated my summer schedule so there are more opportunities for walks, house sitting, and cat drop ins. I have a fenced patio that the dogs enjoy hanging out on. I do not have a yard, but my Condo is very large and there is plenty of room for the dogs to play and take breaks from each other. I do not take dogs off leash unless I know the dog very well and we are in a safe area such at the dog park or dog beach. I will only take your dog on excursions with your permission. My dog loves to go to the farm and the dog beach, but that's not for everyone. ;)

“Alexandra took wonderful care of my adult dog and puppy. She bonded with the dogs right away, sent plenty of photos and updates, and provided the dogs with lots of attention. She is great at communicating and gave us peace of mind during a couple of busy days of medical appointments. We have already booked her again!”

Ellen N.

“We have a very high needs dog with anxiety issues and Sharon not only was able to take the best care of him while we were gone but even became best friends with our pup. She clearly cares about animals and shows it. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her come watch our dog again!”

Drew H.

“5 stars! Very communicative and was sure to clarify any questions she had to ensure a great stay for our pets. Our anxious dog quickly took to her, showing us she knew how to handle even a giant dog who’s unsure of most humans. We highly recommend Taylor and hope she can continue to help us in the future!!”

“Alayza was great! My husband and I had to leave town quickly for a funeral and Alayza came over the same day I put in my request to Rover so we could meet each other. I have a 16 yr. old Border Collie with kidney disease and a complicated diet and a need for two good walks a day. Alayza was willing to take our request and stayed at our house for some nights. When we returned after 5 days, the house was spick and span but more importantly, we have never seen our dog in such good spirits on a return from a trip!! We are so grateful for Alayza and plan to use her again in the future.”

“Keaton was a fantastic house/dog-sitter, taking care of our elderly dog and three cats. Keaton quickly made friends with everyone and updated us twice a day with medication info, walk notes, and photos. We felt relaxed and comfortable knowing our pets (and home) were in good hands. Thank you, Keaton!”

Allyson H.

“Maria was so great! I loved that she wanted to do a meet and greet beforehand. I can tell Shiloh was well taken care of. Even when I got a little worried, she was able to quickly reassure me. I definitely plan on booking her again for my future trips if she’ll have us :)”

About: I currently work in an animal hospital, where I care for dogs and cats every day and have gained hands-on experience handling pets with different personalities, ages, and medical needs. My hospital also offered boarding services, so I have experience supervising pets, feeding them, administering medications when needed, cleaning kennels, and making sure they are comfortable and safe while away from home. I'm currently a college student who is off for the summer, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I work in an animal hospital and have experience with pet care and boarding, so caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and feel comfortable doing. I'll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you're away, and I'll treat them like one of my own. I can provide pet care exclusively in the clients' homes, where pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment. I can follow each owner's instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care requests. My experience working in an animal hospital has taught me to pay close attention to animals' behavior and well-being, so you can trust that your pet will be safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they're my own.

“Megan put our mind at total ease when we went on vacation. She’s the best with our *ahem feisty and strongly opinionated cat. Megan was the BEST house sitter and provided us with tons pictures and updates of the cats which we of course obsessed over. She is so wonderful with our cats and was an extremely attentive sitter as always. Not sure what we’d do without Megan!! I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been around them my entire life. I currently have a 5 year old German Shepherd mix named Akari who is the absolute love of my life. I also, LOVE taking photos of pets. It's one of my favorite parts of doing Rover! I work Full Time 9am-5pm at the University of Maryland! During the week I can do drop ins/walks early in the morning and after work in the evening! Weekends I am completely open! Let me know what you need and we can work something out! Your pups comfortability is my first priority. I want this to be a fun and enjoyable experience for your dog and will do my best to make sure that happens.

“Cassandre did a great job with my "old lady" dog. Good about checking in and providing pictures, and, most importantly, I came home to a happy, healthy dog.”

Kate R.

“Kymberlee was great! It was our first time leaving Bella for this long and we were nervous. She provided regular updates, sent pictures, and kept Bella company the whole time we were gone. And the place was cleaner when we got back then when we left it! Will absolutely be calling Kymberlee in the future!!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Corraly! She’s been an absolute lifesaver for me and Cloud. From day one, they showed so much care, patience, and a genuine love for dogs that I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her hands. Cloud always comes back happy, well-exercised, and honestly a little extra spoiled. She goes above and beyond to make sure my dog’s routine is followed, and they send me the cutest updates and photos, which truly puts my mind at ease.”

About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Over the past year, I’ve lived with three dogs, two parrots, and 4 cats, and before that, I lived with and helped care for around 23 rescue animals. Everything from lizards and turtles to dogs, goats, and horses! My goal is to pursue a career in animal care, and pet sitting is the perfect way to gain even more hands on experience with different breeds and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m suppose to start college in December and am not employed, at the moment I am free all day and all night and can care for your pets whenever and give them the most comfortable stay, and lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard and a wide dog cage in the backyard and in the house in case your pet needs to be caged. I take care of both my dog and my mother’s elderly dog they eat and get walked at around the same time every day and go outside to play with toys or just to run around the yard a lot throughout the day.

“Gabs did a great job with my pup, Lula Mae. Lu was well cared for and I got great communications & updates. Gabs also left our home spotless, which was much appreciated when I got home from my trip! We look forward to booking with Gabs again in future!”

About: Hi! My name is Aubrey, and I’ve been pet sitting for over 5 years caring for all kinds of animals — from household pets to farm animals. I have experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, whether they’re playful puppies and kittens or senior pets needing extra patience and care. I’ve also raised two puppies of my own, so I’m very familiar with puppy care, training, routines, and the patience and attention young dogs need. As a college student and future grad student at UMD, I have a very flexible schedule, especially over the summer and into next semester. I’m available for overnight stays, daily check-ins, walks, feeding, medication administration, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I understand every pet has different needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! As a college and future grad student here at UMD, I have a flexible schedule with availability for overnights, walks, drop-ins, and pet care. I always make sure to ask questions not only about your puppy but your house and regular routines. Health in animals is very important while you’re away so I always ask to have detailed notes or instructions.

“Chandler was an AMAZING pet and house sitter! I expected this based on her other reviews, but our dog and two young cats seemed to adore her! Usually when I board my dog he comes home very stressed out. This was such a different experience- he was just his normal, happy self. Chandler is very communicative and sent us photos and updates of our pets, letting us know how they were. She kept up on all the pet duties, brought in the mail, took out the trash, and left the house better than she found it. She's also got a lovely personality! Next time we need to go out of town, I hope she's available because this was an amazing experience!”
