About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. My clients get to travel calmly, knowing their loved one is in safe hands. I am great with pets that require a lot of attention. I give them the love and affection they need to feel at home. I live in a house of animal lovers in a safe suburban neighborhood. It has dog parks and trails and lots of sidewalks. I also have a gated and decent-sized backyard for supervised potty breaks and playdates, so your pet will never be left alone. I am available any day to care for your fur baby. I will make sure they are fed, walked, and loved as if they were my own 🥰 I follow the feeding schedule and provide a frequent supervised potty break and playtime. I am a big animal lover, and the comfort of your pet is my priority.

Sandra took such great care of both our very large dogs and cat for ten days. Very detailed with her notes and consistent with pictures. They had long walks, play time , food bowl refresh and cuddle time. Couldn’t be more pleased for the love care and attention she provided to my fur babies.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and respect I have for dogs. I believe dogs are not just pets—they are cherished members of the family. I treat every dog in my care with patience, kindness, and attention, just as I would my own. My goal is to give dog parents complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re away. • Puppy training & obedience reinforcement • Senior dog care & medication administration • Positive reinforcement training • High-attention, compassionate care • Reliable routines & clear communication • Puppy training & obedience reinforcement • Senior dog care & medication administration • Positive reinforcement training • High-attention, compassionate care • Reliable routines & clear communication I allow pets on all furniture, my bed, my chairs, couches. I don’t believe that pets shouldn’t be allowed on furniture. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I currently have ample time and flexibility to dedicate to dogs in my care. This allows me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, training reinforcement, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. After recently losing my own dog to kidney failure, I understand deeply how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. That experience has strengthened my commitment to providing attentive, compassionate care and treating every dog as if they were my own. I’m able to give dogs my undivided attention, whether that means extra comfort for senior dogs, structured routines for puppies, or simply being present to ensure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. My goal is to give dog parents complete peace of mind, knowing their fur baby is receiving the same care, patience, and love I would want for my own.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have learned how to care, play, and communicate with them through a lifetime of caring for them in my own home. I’ve come to love their little personalities, every pet a distinct individual. I also have experience working in a local pet store and know a great deal about nutrition and treats for pets. I can walk, check in on, or sit for your pet while you’re away in a safe, trustworthy manner. Dogs of all sizes as well as cats are welcome! I hope you’ll consider me today! I’m a full time college student, so my schedule is very flexible. I am most available in the summer and winter, but during the semester I’ll have plenty of time fri-sun and later availability mon-thur! I am able to control rowdy/excited animals on walks and have extensive knowledge in pet diet restrictions. Pet care may seem simple, but I take their safety and security very seriously. If anything unusual happens, you’ll be notified straight away.

About: Hello! My name is Teena! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter with 3 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience. I’ve cared for my friends’ cats, dogs, and even fish while they were away on vacation, helping with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their normal routines. I’m especially passionate about making sure both cats and dogs receive the care and attention they need. I love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch, keeping them active, giving them potty breaks, and providing plenty of companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs—whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and affectionate. I genuinely love animals and don’t see pet sitting as simply a job. Whether it’s a long walk with your dog, playtime with your cat, a clean litter box, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I’m here to make sure your pets are in caring hands. I’ll treat your fur babies with kindness, patience, and plenty of love—because they deserve to feel right at home while you’re away! 🐾♥️ Pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine because I’m currently available most days and have a flexible schedule. I’m happy to work around your schedule and adjust my availability based on your pet’s specific needs and routine. I’m comfortable with different types of schedules and responsibilities, whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a daily walk, multiple visits throughout the day, feeding at specific times, medication, playtime, or simply some extra companionship. The most important thing to me is communication. As long as I’m given clear and detailed instructions about your pet’s routine, needs, preferences, and what is expected of me, I’m happy to accommodate. Every pet is different, and I want to make sure I’m following your instructions so your pet can maintain as much of their normal routine as possible while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you provide, including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter-box cleaning, medication, and any other specific care your pet needs. I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate different routines and requests. As long as I receive detailed instructions about what needs to be done and what you expect from me, I’m happy to follow them. I understand that you know your pet best, so I take your instructions seriously and do my best to keep their routine consistent. I’ll also make sure to be respectful of your home, keep your pet’s areas clean, and pay attention to how your pet is behaving throughout my visit. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing that your pet—and your home—are in responsible, caring hands while you’re away.

About: I’m a dog lover through and through. I’m a teacher by trade, so I have flexibility during the summers to walk or dog sit, essentially all day! I have experience in walking and boarding large and small breeds alike. I pride myself on providing meaningful and engaging walks and making sure owners feel comfortable and secure by sending updates and pictures during and after care! Hi!! I’m a teacher and I have the summers free, so I use this as an opportunity to pick up extra work that also happens to bring me joy! I can usually work my day around waking your fur babies. I'm all about providing your pup with the utmost care. I have experience with both small and large dogs alike and have no issues walking, feeding, or crating your fur babies!

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life, and dogs have always been part of my daily routine. I regularly walk, feed, and play with them and would consider myself a natural when it comes to canine companions. In fact, a dog is usually the first thing to greet me when I wake up in the morning! Because I have a dog of my own, and interact with other dogs frequently, I understand their body language and cues, and can thus anticipate their needs and behavior in any given situation. I am patient, kind, and loving in all my interactions with dogs, as they are truly a humans best friend. I look forward to the opportunity to spend time with, and care for, your companions as if they were my own. With 3 dogs and 5 cats, I am well versed in everything from dog park etiquette, to deep litter box cleaning. My daily routine always consists of animal care, from morning until night. With the animals I have in my house, I would prefer to sit at the clients home. I am very low maintenance, and leave no trace of my presence, other than a happy pet waiting for your return.

About: I've taken care of a wide array of dogs ranging in size, age, and breed. I've fed, bathed, and trained dogs ranging from Yorkshire Terriers to Golden Doodles to German Shepherds. I currently attend morning classes from 8:30-11:30 Monday through Fridays so times in the afternoon typically after 1:00 is most suitable. My schedule shifts on weekends as I do not attend classes on those days but I do prefer to care for animals in the morning or early afternoon. While I do have two animals of my own, both my dogs are trained and do not bite. However, should I pet-sit for someone, my animals would stay on a different level of my house than the animal I'm watching to avoid any problems. I have a dog gate blocking access to my kitchen and free space for any animals to roam free if they want.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 8 years old so with dogs of every size and temperament, from laid-back seniors to high-energy pups, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s personality and needs. I know how much routine and comfort matter to dogs, especially when their people are away, which is why I love doing home visits: your dog gets to stay in their own space, with their own smells, toys, and schedule. My flexible schedule means I can be reliable and consistent, whether that’s a quick daily drop-in or something more frequent. I treat every dog like I’d want mine treated. throughout the day which means dogs in my care get consistent attention, bathroom breaks, and company instead of long stretches alone. It also makes home visits easy to fit in, since I’m not squeezing them in around a commute or office hours. When I’m in your home, I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine; same feeding times, same walk schedule, same little habits they’re used to. I do a walk-through of the home and yard first to spot anything that needs extra attention (gates, fencing, escape routes), then spend quality time with your dog: play, cuddles, or just company. I send photo updates so you can see they’re settled and happy. I keep dogs leashed and under control at all times, paying attention to their comfort around other dogs, people, and traffic. Since I’ve lived with dogs of all temperaments, I adjust pace and route to what suits your dog — whether that’s a calm sniff-around walk or something more active.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, piranha, bunnies, turtles and rodents, etc! I have always loved and seen animals as the more primal side of our nature but that’s one of the purest forms of love that one can give! I am currently working full time at NIH, and after about 3:30pm, I work with animals around my community. Weekends I like to volunteer with people struggling with bigger dogs and temperament issues. Walking and leash training is key in my experience. I have a big yard for good time and to keep them safe! I love being outside, and making sure that the animals are safe while doing so is of the utmost importance to me !

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Lanham on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 17,025 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lanham. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Lanham 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 Lanham 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 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 Lanham with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lanham. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
