“My wife & I had a fantastic first rover experience with Tameka and her Husband Jerry. We are absolutely thrilled we have found trustworthy, pet loving people to take care of GSD, Hugo. We have established a returning schedule with them and hope you do the same!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for 12 years now! I am very loving, dependable and attentive. I provide a safe, nurturing and fun environment. I work part time right on Tuesday and Thursday from 3:45-5:45, but I do have a lot of free time to care for pets and spend time with them!! I treat every pet like my own. The environment is very safe and there is a lot of grass areas to walk and run around!
“Melissa is highly professional, thoughtful, communicative, and courteous. She took excellent care of our two cats who both warmed up to her immediately. This was my first time using Rover and I am so pleased I found Melissa! My husband and I could not be happier with Melissa’s service and we absolutely plan to book with her again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for dogs has been part of my life for years. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. I enjoy giving dogs attention, making sure they’re comfortable, and helping them stay active. I’m excited to meet new fur buddies and give them the same love and care I give my own. I currently work part-time in the mornings, which leaves me available most afternoons and evenings for care. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a time that fits their dog’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are important to me. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and use a leash during walks. I’ll respect your home and your pet’s routine, and I’ll communicate with you about how your furry family member is doing.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I had a golden growing up for 15 years and now have a dog of my own! I love going on long walks with dogs who need it, playing fetch, and giving lots of scritches and love! No dog is too small or too big for me. Happy to accommodate anything your pet needs! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work in VA and living MD so I’m really all over the map. I would prefer any time after 3 but can also come in the mornings with enough heads up. I do not have a fenced in back yard but do have a nice trail to walk on and get some energy out. I also have a lead in the backyard to keep the dogs safe and not escape if they would like to roam freely. My coonhound has been just fine with the set up! I also have a crate if preferred. My dog is friendly with others and loves other dogs!
About: Throughout my life, I have been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors, friends, and family. Whether it’s providing a high energy walk, managing feeding schedules, or simply offering a calm and comforting presence, I am committed to maintaining your pet’s routine so they feel secure while you are away. My experience ranges from caring for playful puppies to providing the gentle attention required by senior dogs. I work from home full-time, ensuring your pet has constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. My own friendly dogs provide built-in company. I prioritize routines and close supervision. Without a fenced yard, all outdoor time is leashed. You will receive daily updates and photos for peace of mind.
About: I have been a dog owner for 14 years and counting. My old girl still has a lot of energy so we are constantly outside or tearing it up around the house! I have experience working with and dog sitting neighbor's and family member's dogs for extended periods and am comfortable working with dogs larger than my own. I will try my best to be as flexible as I can and work towards building a lovely relationship with your dog or dogs. I can't wait to meet your furbabies! I currently work full time during the week. I can be available around 5pm some nights for night care and any time over the weekend for all day or overnight care. I treat all pets as if they are my own. I know what it's like having to leave your child with another and I aim to elevate any worries by showing my genuine care for your pet.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with them and my family has owned them ever since I was a baby. My parents got me my own dog when I was 8 and I’ve loved them ever since. Neighbors, friends, and family have all trusted me to care for their fur babies over the years whether it be short trips or long term. I love dogs and am excited to help care for yours! I just moved to the DC area and am looking for work I can do between travels. I don’t have another job, so when I’m in town I am available any day and anytime. I will be starting federal certifications soon but that will be done online. I have a fenced yard in a gated community. I have 3 small Yorkies who are friendly with other dogs. They do have their own room if I need to keep them separate. I can board dogs here, stay at your home, or stop in and check on them…whatever works best for you! Happy to discuss any details or preferences before hand.
“Amy took great care of our cats while we were out of town. It was very reassuring to get updates after each visit. We came home to happy cats. We would definitely book Amy in the future.”
About: I love all the dogs. I enjoy playing with them and taking walks. I love long hiking in the parks where me and dogs can be closer to nature. I have always met only great dogs. They all have different personalities and this is something that requires patience and understanding to allow the dog connect with me. However, as big or small the dog can be, it has no difference for me. In my life I had only one time dog biting me and it was when I was a child and was running through the neighbor's property and the dog did his duty and started running after me. He scratched my left leg with his teeth, but it was more of a gentle warning, than a bite. Dogs listen to me very well. Sometimes I get surprised myself how well they respond to me. This is something I would enjoy doing with all my heart Dogs are amazing creatures! Thank you, Oksana
“Kordell has taken care of my cat on countless occasions over the last couple of years and I have come to appreciate his kindness and reliability. When I'm away, I can rest easy knowing that my cat will receive quality care.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I’ve been a kid! Growing up my family would own 3 dogs at a time ranging from small to big dogs I’m working part time so I am usually available! I am also very flexible when it comes to cancellations or delays! I understand things happen! I consider pets an extended part of the family! The best way to take care of a pet is to give it plenty of attention!

“Ehuniz is the first pet sitter we had through Rover and she did an awesome job. She immediately acted with professionalism at our first meeting. She took care of our 2 cats for 1 week during the Christmas Season. She came to our house twice a day and was amazingly on time every time. She spent 30 full minutes each time to feed/play with the cats and clean the litter box. She even spent time to send us several pictures which was not expected but much appreciated! Not to mention that she is very easily reachable and ultra responsive. We are already in touch with her to not miss the chance to have her taking of the cats again and also of our dog for January!!!”
“Makiah is wonderful!! We had a situation where we had to fire a previous sitter, and she stepped in and saved the day on Thanksgiving! She was very helpful the whole time and showed our kitties the care and attention we were looking for. We'll absolutely be booking with her again.”
About: As a dog lover I bring gentle loving care to all dog friends! I can also work on training and exercise with high energy dogs. I volunteer with a local animal rescue and have fostered shelter dogs in the past. I work remotely Monday & Friday so I’m able to provide adequate walking, interaction and attention. I’m active and can provide all levels of exercise and play. This includes walking, running, potty breaks, indoor enrichment with puzzles, lick mats and toys. I simply enjoy being around dogs and will provide extra care such as brushing and cuddles. I treat any pet entering my home as my own and extend that same love and attention to them. I prioritize their needs as well as their owners to ensure everyone is comfortable with the experience and to give my new dog friend a vacation while their owner is away! Dog sitting is just as exciting for me as it can be for a dog getting to meet new people and do fun things!
About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.

Cynthia is wonderful! She takes excellent care of my dog and cat and always goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. She’s also one of the very few people my cat actually likes—which says a lot! Highly recommend her!
Shelby always takes such great care of Tulip when we’re away. We haven’t found a sitter we can rely on like Shelby in such a long time! We always know that when we book with her Tulip is in great hands. I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for someone responsive and reliable. The pics and videos are always a nice touch!
I highly recommend her! She took wonderful care of my dog and treated him like her own. She made sure he was well-fed, gave him plenty of love and attention, and took him on regular walks. It gave me great peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and responsible hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Marlow Heights is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $46 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 16,254 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Marlow Heights. 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 Marlow Heights. On Rover:
- 84% 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.
