“Asha was absolutely wonderful with our big guy, Ollie. She provided detailed updates, took care of him when he was scared during holiday fireworks, and walked him in between some pretty intense weather events. We felt totally comfortable on vacation knowing that Asha was there!”
“Chandler was amazing! She bonded with my two Siamese cats almost immediately, adapting to their individual personalities beautifully. She played with them, cuddled with them and probably treated them better than I do!! I loved the great photos that she sent throughout the day and evening, showing them at play and at rest. Also loved the fact that she took the time to run and empty the dishwasher, wash her linens , put fresh water in their bowls and clean litter boxes before she left. I highly recommend Chandler and will be inviting her back in the future to visit and take care of my cats!!”
“Nya was terrific. Would 10 out of 10 recommend Nya and will be using Nya to watch our dog again. Nya took our dog for runs around the neighborhood, provided timely updates and made sure our dog was safe and happy the entire time.”
“Katherine was amazing with my girls!! She was able to do a meet and greet before our booking and ever since was very responsive and kept me update all the time. At the time of her stay she was very respectful of our home, and took amazing care of my dogs. Definitely will book again!!”
“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!”
“Anh took terrific care of our pups. She was responsive, sending daily updates and getting in touch with any questions she had about dog care. I absolutely recommend her for puppy care and will request her for future needs.”
About: We live in Colombia, South America for the school year and return home to the US during the summer and other school holidays to attend summer camp and visit friends and family. We are able to housesit small and medium dogs for one family at at time. We do not offer boarding services at this time but invite our boarding families to book us for housesitting. _____________________ With over 175 bookings in just two years and many repeat families, we’re proud to have earned Rover Star Sitter status—a reflection of our consistent care, reliability, and the trust our clients place in us. We specialize in small to medium-sized dogs, especially those with special needs due to age or temperament. Our experience spans the full spectrum of dog care—from energetic puppies to beloved senior companions. My journey as a dedicated dog caregiver began with my own Pomeranian, Chewy, who was part of our family for over 12 years. Through every stage of his life—puppy training, routine vet visits, managing health issues like dental care and kennel cough, and eventually learning the nuances of senior care—I gained invaluable hands-on experience. I understand how to provide attentive, compassionate care while maintaining structure and safety. Beyond my personal experience, I’m deeply attuned to dogs’ moods and behaviors, always alert to changes that might signal discomfort or illness. I also understand what pet parents look for, having used doggy daycare, boarding, and dog parks extensively myself. My daughter Layla, who grew up alongside Chewy, shares this same love and intuition for dogs. She’s a gentle, responsible helper with a natural ability to make dogs feel safe and loved. Together, we’ve cared for many neighborhood pets, and thanks to Rover, we’ve extended that care to families across our community. Layla likes to say our “superpower is love”—and that really sums it up. We offer your pups a safe, affectionate home away from home, where they’ll be treated like family every single day. We’re available for housesitting at and time but we do prefer earlier/daytime arrivals as it allows your pup/s to get acclimated while they are awake and alert. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give our doggie guests plenty of attention and regular outdoor breaks, around Layla's activities. My daughter goes to school or camp during the day, but she enjoys walking and playing with our dog clients before and after school/camp, always under my supervision. Together, we make sure your pup feels loved, engaged, and part of our family routine. I also provide daily photo and message updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. We walk your pup/s on a leash at all times unless we have access to an enclosed yard. Generally, we prefer to crate overnight especially if this is your first time using Rover for dog sitting, but we can adapt as needed. Your pup will spend most of their day outside of their crate but perhaps, contained in a part of the house (e,g, watching tv in the sitting room or hanging in the kitchen while we prepare meals). We will try our best to incorporate their usual routine and preferences whenever possible. For puppies, we prefer to crate/contain in confined area.
“Alexis contacted me for a last minute booking and she was flexible in working out a schedule to care my Princess. She was there like we agreed on and she send messages and pictures for every visit She also contacted us when Princess didn’t want to take her medication. She will definitely be my sitter from now on”
“Marcus and his wife, Shenee, were fantastic!! They were able to watch our pups relatively last minute. The dogs immediately loved them. You can tell they both genuinely love and are at ease around dogs. Shenee sent us frequent updates and photos. I would highly recommend them!!”
“Molly has been walking our dogs for a couple of weeks, and we couldn’t be happier! Our dog, Finn, is pretty nervous and weary of strangers, but Molly has been really patient with him! Would 100% recommend”
“Dee was great! Very communicative and sent lots of pictures while I was gone. She was great at recognizing and giving my dog the time she needed to get used to a new person and brought the nice calm energy that she needs.”
About: Individual with a BS degree in animal science who loves animals of all kinds and would love to keep your furry family members as happy, active, and healthy as possible while you are away! I have over 1000 hours working with animals in all aspects from basic husbandry and pet sitting to veterinary clinical care! Due to my busy schedule working a full time job at a veterinary clinic, my services are best suited to individual walks or drop in visits on my days off (usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays), or sitting for pets that are able to be left alone for 9+ hours at a time. I do not have any pets of my own and am child free, so I can easily provide overnight pet sitting for clients if they would prefer rather than just being present during the day.
“We can’t say enough good things about Alex. He stayed with our 7 year old pit bull through the very hot July 4th holiday, and sent multiple daily updates and photos. When she wasn’t up for walking in the heat, he played with her and made her frozen kongs. He also watered our plants and set food out for the neighborhood feral cat. Highly recommend! PS - Make sure you book him early - he’s always in high demand, and rightfully so.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the real-world experience I bring from living and working with dogs every day. I’ve raised and trained a variety of breeds, including high-drive working dogs like Dobermans and a Donovan Pinscher, and I currently share my home with three dogs and a cat. My dogs are actively involved in dog sports. Giving me a strong foundation in obedience, structure, and engagement. I understand how to meet each dog where they are—whether it’s a playful puppy needing boundaries or a senior dog requiring calm, attentive care. I take a thoughtful, balanced approach with every dog I care for, focusing on clear communication, calm energy, and consistency. My experience allows me to confidently handle dogs with different needs and personalities, and I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being. Whether you’re looking for someone to reinforce good habits, provide mental stimulation, or simply give your pet a safe, peaceful break from home, I offer more than basic care—I bring a lifestyle built around respect, trust, and a genuine love for animals. Pet care fits naturally into my work schedule because it’s already a central part of my daily life and routine. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I’ve built my lifestyle around. With experience raising and training multiple dogs, including high-drive working breeds, I’m used to managing feeding times, structured exercise, training sessions, and downtime throughout the day. My schedule is intentionally designed to support the physical and emotional needs of the animals in my care, allowing me to provide reliable, consistent attention without it ever feeling rushed or secondary. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm, structured environment. In my home, I maintain clear routines, supervise all interactions, and ensure every animal has their own space and comfort. When in your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, respect their space, and provide consistent, attentive care. I read body language carefully, move at your pet’s pace, and focus on building trust through calm, confident handling. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, no matter the setting.
“As always Haley did an amazing job communicating with us and taking great care of our pups. She sends pictures - is flexible with out travel schedules - manages their dietary & medication changes, Thanks Haley!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lanham-Seabrook
Cameron was excellent with our dog Dot! He house-sat for us and watched her while we were on vacation. He sent daily updates and let us know right away when she chewed up her frisbee (no biggie) and when she got into a tussle with a groundhog in the backyard (more of a biggie). He cleaned her up and made sure she was safe and healthy when we got home. Thank you Cameron!
Alexandria did a fantastic job with Milo. When I returned he was in his crate which I let him out and he was in no urgent need to go outside. Which means he was still on his schedule. No that’s what one wants to come back to. My instructions were followed. Thank you for treating Milo like family.
Crystina goes above & beyond for our pets and we’re always happy to leave them in her care. She sends lots of pictures and updates, is very attentive to the care instructions we leave for her, and we feel really confident that our dog and rabbit are in great hands with her!
Asha was absolutely wonderful with our big guy, Ollie. She provided detailed updates, took care of him when he was scared during holiday fireworks, and walked him in between some pretty intense weather events. We felt totally comfortable on vacation knowing that Asha was there!
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!
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.
Meg was great with our pup while we were away for Thanksgiving week. She house sat for us, handled all care instructions to the T, and gave our pup lots of attention and play. It was great to come home to a happy pup and a clean, neat house, just as we left it. She was communicative and provided regular updates. We won’t hesitate to use Meg again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lanham-Seabrook
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 11,104 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lanham-Seabrook. 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 Lanham-Seabrook 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 Lanham-Seabrook 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 Lanham-Seabrook 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.
