“I had the pleasure of meeting Aliyah during a meet-and-greet for my puppy, Asparagus, and I was very impressed. She was kind, knowledgeable, professional, and has a genuine love for animals. Asparagus had only been home with me for a few days after coming from a farm, so he’s still adjusting to city life and was understandably shy. Although he didn’t fully warm up to Aliyah, he did allow her to take him for a walk, and she was incredibly patient and respectful of his pace. Aliyah also shared some great tips to help keep him calm and settled, which I truly appreciated. This visit was simply to help them get acquainted, and I’m confident they’ll build a wonderful bond over time. We look forward to having Aliyh care for Asparagus in the near future. I highly recommend her!”
“Micaela was amazing once again! She sent multiple pictures and videos everyday and made sure Dax followed his normal routine. She was so respectful of my home and told me every time she left and came back. 100% will book again!”
“Anh was amazing with Pico. She jumped in last minute and handled everything so thoughtfully - including some unexpected tummy issues and his occasional puppy chaos. She kept me fully updated the whole time and sent lots of great photos, which I really appreciated. It made such a difference being able to see how he was doing. Pico is used to being with me all the time, so social interaction is really important for him. Anh adjusted to Pico’s needs and routine and also made him part of hers - giving him so much extra love and attention. You can’t always guarantee that level of care when you’re away, and I’m so grateful I never had to worry. I would absolutely recommend Anh to anyone without hesitation!”
“Great communication and awesome with my oldish (12.5+ yrs) pets!!! I’m a veterinarian and would book Juliann again in a second. If she has availability on Rover while she pursues her veterinary degree do not hesitate to book her to take care of your fur babies!!”
“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!”
“Nicole stayed at our place to watch our cat for almost two weeks and did a fantastic job! She was responsive and checked in regularly, and we came home to a happy cat. Our cat is very social and needs a lot of interaction and playtime, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Nicole was looking after him. Plus she took great care of our house and kept our plants alive. We’ll happily call on her again to take care of our cat when we’re out of town!”
“Very happy with Nia—very responsive and kept me supplied with pix so I could see my little buddy while I was away. Left house spotless and pup well cared for. Will definitely book again if available!”
“Tristen is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. It is incredibly hard to find someone you trust completely with your animals, but Tristen makes it easy. They are super dependable, detail-oriented, and excellent at keeping us updated while we’re away. It is such a relief to travel knowing the crew isn't just being taken care of, but truly loved. Our pets absolutely adore Tristen, and we’ll definitely be keeping them on speed dial. If you want someone responsible and genuinely sweet, look no further.”
“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: Hello! I love pets of all shapes and sizes. I have been a dog owner my whole life. I worked in a kennel in a veterinary hospital for two years. My jobs there were walking, feeding, bathing, cutting nails, giving medication, and most importantly ensuring the pets were safe and comfortable. I have a lot of experience with dogs as well as cats. I recently had my dog of 13 years pass away from cancer. He required a lot of attention and care which I feel I now specialize in. I am full of love and care for any puppy sent my way and I’m thrilled to be a part of this app. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to not only care for your pets and their needs but also ensure they are comfortable, happy, and loved.
“Megan did an amazing job! Our two cats have different foods, different medication needs, and very different personalities, and they both seemed to love her from the first time they met. Megan was extremely communicative and helpful and sent us lots of great pictures of our girls. It was the first time we've been away for more than a weekend since the pandemic started, and having her here with the cats made it easier to be away from them. Thank you!”
“Sebastian was a fabulous dog/house sitter. He took care of my two 80-pound golden retrievers for a week while I was away. They can be a lot, and he handled them beautifully. I have had a lot of different sitters and he checked all my boxes: He arrived when he said he would; he stayed at the house and never left them for too long; he reached out when he had a question about their water bowl system; most importantly, the dogs were happy and healthy when I got back and the house was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.”
“Sometimes you’ll only know if the Sitter was great by how the dogs react when you walk through the door. I’m happy to say that after being gone on vacation, I came home to two very calm and happy dogs. In the past, I’ve had sitters where when I’ve come home the dogs were uneasy and full of anxiety. So it’s really important to know that the dogs are calm and we’re not stressed out while we were gone. It takes a dog person to be able to give this kind of love. I’m so thankful.”
“Dahlya was an incredible find for our wedding and honeymoon! She gave us great updates and pictures, and the house was spotless when we returned home. Our pets are so happy and cared for and we'll definitely look to book her in the future!”
“Alayza was very attentive and patient with my pup! Updates and communication were quick and constant. My flight home was delayed but she accommodated the unexpected schedule change. Will definitely be asking for her expertise again! My pup absolutely loved her.”
“Cameron is such an amazing dog sitter/walker/handler! His interactions with my skittish dog has left her feeling loved and secure while in his care. Cameron is prompt with communication and very professional in all his interactions. He was flexible when we had to change our departure time due to longer TSA check in time. He followed instructions in caring for Storm and left the house immaculate. I was impressed he put the sheets and towels down the laundry shoot, I definitely didn't expect him to do that. He even remembered to leave the light on in the living room because I was returning late. If you're looking for a dog walker or sitter, don't hesitate to hire Cameron.”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets throughout my lifetime, starting at the age of 7. I’ve had fish, turtles, cats, dogs, and bearded dragons. So my passion for animals across the board runs pretty deep. Though currently I’m unable to have a personal pet of my own, that has no effect on my ability to take care and love on the pets you cherish. I have 2 dephews (dog nephews) that I love very much, as if they’re were my dogs and that’s the closest I’m able to get to a personal pet at this time. Nonetheless, my passion for animals has drawn me to the idea of becoming a dog & cat walker/sitter and I think I will find a lot of joy and fulfillment in this. I’m currently unemployed and have a very flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs daily or weekly attention, I’m definitely the girl you need for the job! I will care for your pets in accordance to how I would want my pet to be treated. With respect, and love. I’m very attentive and will be sure to take care of your pet to your specific wants & needs.
“Stephanie did a wonderful job of caring for our pup while we were away. She took great care in following his routine and keeping in touch, even sending funny narrated videos of his play. We are extremely grateful for Stephanie’s professionalism and ease with animals and would recommend her most highly.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Landover Hills
Our pups took to Almita immediately! They’re both fairly shy and can be possessive of each other, but they were extremely taken by Almita. She was very communicative, caring, and ensured that our pups were well cared for and their routine followed. We returned from our time away to calming music playing from our TV, and to two very happy and healthy dogs. We can’t thank Almita enough and look forward to working with her again!
Aliyah did a wonderful job with Asparagus! He’s still building his confidence, and she was incredibly patient and kind with him. She took him on a walk, kept me updated with pictures, and made me feel at ease the entire time. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!
Bryanna was great - very very kind and great with our two cats! She was able to help us a bit last minute and took all of our directions in stride. The cats really liked her and she took excellent care of them while we were away for almost a week. We needed drop in visits and I loved the photo updates she gave each time. She also was willing to look after our disabled gecko, so I highly recommend Bryanna if you also need someone to check in on your reptile!
Gabz was awesome to work with. From our first meet and greet to the last message after we are back home from a weekend away Gabz was easy to talk to and very friendly. The pups loved their walks and chill out time with Gabz. Thank you, Gabz for cleaning up Balto’s vomit. Five stars for that!
Don't be put off by her young age - Karleigh is mature beyond her years. She handled our elderly dogs incontinence issues with aplomb, kept us up-to-date, sent pictures and videos, and asked all the right questions. We will absolutely hire her again, when/if the need presents itself.
Corraly did a FANTASTIC job caring for our sweet boy Prince and home while away for a week long vacation celebrating our 1st year marriage anniversary, and we could not have been more pleased with her services. This was our first time working with Corraly and she made a quick bond with Prince that clearly grew during the days they spent together. She texted daily updates and included lovely photos of their time spent together in our home and during long walks and was super responsive throughout her stay. We (including Prince) 100000% highly recommend Corraly and look forward to her future dogsitting stay 🤎 🖤
Javien is amazing! He stepped in to care for our dogs for a few days at our place with barely any notice. Our dogs adored him right away! He also handled our dog’s diabetic needs, including insulin injections. Plus, he kept us in the loop with updates all day. We felt so confident that our dogs were in good hands, even when we needed a sitter last minute. We’re definitely going to ask Javien again for future pet sitter needs! Thanks, Javien!

FAQs for House Sitting - Landover Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 11,191 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Landover Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Landover Hills walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Landover Hills maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Landover Hills 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
