About: I've been taking care of my friends' and family's pets for years now. At first, I would take care of their cats despite being allergic just so they could have someone reliable (plus I love cats). Within the past year, I've been starting to pet sit for dogs both overnight and stop-in visits. I'm a huge dog lover, from small dogs to big dogs, especially the big ones that still think they're little babies. I would be honored if you trusted me with the care of ur pets <3 (plus I love sending photos of ur pets while ur away just so you know they're in good hands) I currently work 4-8 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I'm free throughout the morning and after work. I'm starting classes at the start of September, so I'm free to care for ur furry friends any time between those slots. I'm a huge animal lover, so if your pets need extra love when ur away, I can 100% do that. Im also a big nature person, so daily walks are more than fine. I know some animals are afraid of storms or loud noises, and when that happens, I tend to stay with them to offer some comfort so they feel more at ease.
“Thanks so much for taking great care of our cats. We felt good knowing they'd be in good hands during our time out of town. Thanks for the detailed descriptions of your visits.”
“Mary is fabulous! She’s so thorough that she puts some of our children’s babysitters to shame. Prescott could not have been better cared for - and we had extra peace of mind from all the great pictures and cute updates Mary sent. All the stars plus 100! We’ll definitely be booking again!”
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was 12 years old. I have had 4 dogs throughout that time. I have experience with both senior dogs and high-energy younger dogs. I am more used to smaller dogs, but one of my current 2 dogs is a 54lb pitt-bull, the other one is a 15lb pug mix. I also used to take care of a 70lb standard poodle for a family I was a nanny for. I am currently unemployed, so I have open availability. I am working on my master´s degree and would like to use this extra time to save a little money since I just got married. I offer dog walking and house sitting services. I can also play with them and provide a safe and comfortable envoinment. I will adapt to whatever specific needs your pets may have.
“Cathy has been wonderful taking care of our feline children. Cathy even administered insulin injections to our diabetic cat! Wow! Great service! She was always on time and did exactly what was needed to follow the complexities of caring for a diabetic pet.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laytonsville
Julia took care of my 3 dogs, two special needs puppies that are hearing and vision impaired and my older dog. She did an amazing job with my challenging at times dogs. She is reliable, trustworthy and was so kind and loving to my dogs. She sent messages and photos updating me after each visit. One of my puppies is very anxious and she was so patient with her. So lucky to have found Julia! We were able to go on vacation knowing our dogs were in her good care!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 17,975 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Laytonsville. 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 Laytonsville 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Laytonsville. 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.
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.
