“Brianne was an amazing pet sitter for my two cats. She took pictures of them and gave them a treat. Very easy to work with and I didn’t feel any anxiety while gone for a week. I will be booking with her again!”
“Dymond was wonderful with my cat! Very responsive, caring, and easy to communicate with. This was my first time leaving my cat since adopting her and I felt very comfortable doing so knowing Dymond would be checking in on her!”
“Amy was great taking care of Jasper for the first time. I was nervous to leave him alone but I am glad Amy was available specially on the Holidays season. She did amazing and it was a good communication since the meet and greet. I will definitely look for her again!”
“Lynette took care of 3 of my cats. One needed eye drops, one needed pills and the third just needed lovies. She did a good job at administrating the medicine! My cats were happy overall and were taken care of very well. Food, water, litter were cleaned at a timely manner. She provided written update each visit with lots of pictures too! Thank you!”
About: As a life-long animal lover, I've had the wonderful opportunity to take care of a variety of animals over the years. I personally have 2 shih tzus of my own, Archie and Chess; I formerly volunteered at adoption events walking dogs and caring for cats; and I have been trusted by friends & family to take care of their pets. I am currently a full-time student and work sparse hours. Consequentially, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days. Barring that, I surprisingly have very flexible availability! And no matter what, I will always prioritize your pet's care :) As a former house cleaner, I have years of experience taking care of others' homes! This has left a profound impact and, even in my personal life, I take the upmost care to ensure the spaces I inhabit are left a little better than I found it.
“Skylar was absolutely amazing. This was my first experience with using Rover and she made me feel comfortable to leave my kitty in good hands. She alsi paid close attention to my needs and was very understanding. She also sent photos of my kitty to make me feel my Pebbles was doing ok. Thank you! ?”
“Julia is amazing!! She is quick to respond and takes the most adorable pictures!! I also love the notes she leaves with each drop in. I would HIGHLY recommend her!! My dog absolutely loves her.”
“This was my first time using Rover. My husband and I were very nervous about having a stranger come into our home to take care of our new puppy, Lucy. Katherine put our minds at ease and we feel like we got so lucky to have her take care of our puppy. She set up a meet and greet which was so helpful. It was so nice meeting the person who will be taking care of your pet and to see how she interacted with her. Katherine was very professional and was great with Lucy. She arrived on time, took plenty of pictures, and made sure Lucy was comfortable before she left. We will use her again and we are grateful for her:)”
“Jay is wonderful with my dogs. They are always so happy when he shows up and my little one eats better for him than she does me. Lol. It's so wonderful to come home to healthy happy dogs who didn't have to be kenneled because we went away. Jay is a Godsend in our busy lives and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting great care for their babies.”
“Mabelyn helped us out with an evening drop in and took great care of our pets! She fed them both and spent some time hanging out and made sure Maggie got out. Once again, we highly recommend Mabelyn. She is dependable and she really cares for the pets so well!”
About: We understand the stress of trying to find a place for your pup. We have teo dogs, Mocha (a miniature Schnauzer) and Luka (a mix Lab). Having dogs has given my kids the confidence to feel comfortable around pets and lately we have been sharing our love with other dogs that we have cared for. The day starts with a walk, feeding, a later stroll down to the park (to play outside-based on weather), afternoon feed and a later walk. But if you feel this is too much for your dog, don't worry, we adapt and do what your dog likes best....We will take care of your dog with diligence and plenty of love. We have plenty of love to give. Morning feeding and walk. Mid day snack and playtime (outside, if weather permits). In the afternoon, a walk or playtime (if weather permits) and evening ends with a feeding and a walk. Again, we adjust based on each dog's needs. We board pups in our home. We have a fenced yard for supervised playtime and we keep your pup with the same that they have in your home. They will be loved!
About: Hi! I’m Shelley 😊 I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly love what I do. After recently losing my own dog, I really miss the daily walks, playtime, and cuddles which is why I treat every dog in my care like my own. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs with medical needs, including administering medication, so you can feel confident your pet is in capable and attentive hands. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to be home most of the day and provide consistent care, supervision, and attention. We spend a lot of time outdoors—walking in the neighborhood, visiting the park, and enjoying walks around the lake. I’m able to maintain a flexible schedule to meet your dog’s needs, whether that’s regular potty breaks, multiple walks, or extra playtime. We spend a lot of time outdoors—whether it’s neighborhood walks, trips to the park, or walks by the lake. I love keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy, and I’m comfortable in all types of weather. I have a fenced patio area and live near a lake with a large open field nearby, perfect for walks and playtime.
About: Since I was born, my parents and my family have owned pets. From my birth my siblings have owned their own birds, we owned a Dove for multiple years and owned a Black Labrador from birth. I am a college freshman, who will be starting the school year soon and will not be going to school far. I'll be able to only work certain days in the week due to school. Scheduling can be discussed during the booking process. I will review the needs of the client pertaining to their individual needs and their pets individual needs before and during my visit with them.
“Cindy is great and for our first visit was very thorough in explaining how she would take care of my dog. Certainly made us feel welcome and grateful my dog and Nero got along great. Definitely will be using Cindy in the future.”
About: I've walked dogs as a volunteer as well as administered medication. Those skills taught me patience and understanding while scooping and entertaining the animals. That's it. I'll have plenty of time to play with puppies and dogs. Which will be a good way to support them and make sure they get the loving care they need. I have a regular home that has cats in it and it is a safe place for animals in general. That's about it for that detail.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. I have experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of daily routines, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and can make time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding them, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents about their pets’ routines and work together to find a schedule that works for everyone. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities.

About: I have cared for my own as well as neighbors dogs in the past from puppy to adulthood. I have 2 dogs of my own that I love just as much as my daughter and truly see pets as part of the family. I have experience in crate training or potty training. I am ready to give your pets what they need. I am available for drop ins and dog walking as I work from home and can easily pop in to help. I usually like to go out for walks or bike riding so taking care of your pets in between would fit well into my schedule. I am super comfortable with dogs and cats. If you have a special bed or toy or blanket that your pet prefers, that is absolutely fine to bring.
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart! With over 10 years of professional dog-sitting experience, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved furry family member. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own, providing plenty of love, attention, cuddles, and personalized care. My goal is to make sure your pup feels happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether you’re heading out for the day or enjoying a well-deserved vacation, you can relax knowing your four-legged family member is in loving, experienced hands. **Your peace of mind and your pup’s happiness are always my top priority! 🐶💕** My schedule is very flexible so it’s easy for me to be there for your dog. I take dogs on several walks a day, giving them a chance to go potty and enjoy playing with them to make sure they feel loved and secure while they’re with me. You can bring your dog’s favorite toys or blankets, however we have everything your dog would need to feel at home with me. I wash everything after each visit to make sure all of my things are clean for the next fur baby. I have food and water bowls, toys, beds, blankets, crates and even leashes. I want to make it as convenient as possible for you while ensuring your dog is comfortable with me. A typical day for us is getting up early and taking your dog for an early walk. Feed him or her breakfast. Go for several walks throughout the day and spend lots of time playing and cuddling. Feed him or her dinner and end the day by going for a long walk after dinner and cuddle watching tv. Because we live on a 600 acre property, safety is our top priority. When we are taking walks with your dog, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure your dog is safe.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laytonsville
Amy was excellent at watching our senior cat, who required medication twice a day. She was extremely attentive and responsive to his needs, especially his picky preferences for receiving as an older cat. We really appreciated her help and time to be able to make so many frequent visits and would rebook Amy again in the future.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Laytonsville is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 17,830 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Laytonsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
