“Nicole took great care of my two cats while we were away. Very thorough and she made sure litter boxes were clean and tidy every day. And my normally shy/if they don’t know you cats loved her, even letting her give them pets!”
“Valerie was absolutely amazing!! She was really attentive and affectionate with my baby boy and she provided wonderful updates with pictures and videos. If you need someone to take care of your pet while you’re gone, she’s your girl! I give her 10 out of 5 stars!!! ⭐️ ✨🌟💫”
“Jessica was a great pet sitter for our 2 cats! She did a great job administering medication to our cat, who typically hates it and hides. She communicated well and was very reliable! We will definitely be using her again!”
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!
“We were very nervous to leave our cat alone for a week. Haley was attentive and patient during the meet and greet. She was empathetic to our nervousness and sent extra pics during her drop ins to make sure we felt confident Albert was doing okay. We especially appreciated the pics of his food and water. She listened and followed our instructions, made sure both locks on our doors were secure, and we came home to a happy cat and a home in perfect order. Will absolutely be booking with Haley anytime we need care for Albert.”
“Jessica did a great job watching my cats. She sent pictures every check in and arrived for the check-ins on time. She was also very responsive to chats and questions. Highly recommend!!”
“A true star! Taryn was able to come and look after my 4 large breed dogs on last minute notice. She followed all my instructions perfectly and from the pictures you can really see how much my dogs loved her and happy they were. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring small rescue dogs. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medication if needed and providing plenty of love and attention. I work full-time from home on weekdays, so your dog will enjoy plenty of supervision, companionship, potty breaks and playtime throughout the day. I treat every dog as if they are part of my own family. My home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac, providing a peaceful environment with minimal traffic. I have a big, fully fenced backyard with locking gates and security cameras.
About: I’ve been a huge animal lover my entire life! I grew up with a family dog for 14 years, and for the last 2 years, I've been a cat parent to my own kitty, so I understand both dog and cat personalities. I’ve been the sitter for my friends and family whenever they go out of town. Plus, giving back to animals is super important to me; I've been volunteering at animal shelters since high school and still do today. Whether your fur baby needs lots of playtime, long walks, or just some cozy cuddles, I'll treat your baby like my own! My work gives me flexibility throughout the week. From Monday-Friday, I normally work in the office from 12-6pm. So, I am available for early morning and late morning walks before I leave, and I am back in time for dinner and evening care. My weekends are pretty open, so I have plenty of time for extended visits and walks. I follow all the rules and instructions you give me for both your house and your pet's care. Whether your pet has a specific feeding schedule, strict house boundaries, or a precise medication routine, I will make sure everything is done exactly the way you want it. Your home and your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities while you are away
“My kitties loved Jill. She accommodated my cat's preference to eat early in the morning and arrived on time to feed and care for them. I felt secure that my beloved kitties were in good hands while I was away. She's ultra-efficient and a true pleasure to be around. We highly recommend Jill!”
“Ian was extremely quick to respond, thorough with all the details, very affordable and exceptionally flexible with our needs. Will absolutely use Ian again and highly recommend to anyone! ?????????”
“Amy took care of my cat Barba for 5 days. She was punctual and reliable, and she followed all of my cat care instructions. She sent photos and a video daily. Barba was well taken cared for while I was away. I will definitely book Amy again!”
“Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.”
“Ziasia was a great dog sitter for my sweet Jaeda. Jaeda was walked and feed, brief updates were given with a photo. I was able to communicate with Ziasia as needed during my time away which was very comforting to me.”
About: Hi! I'm a college student home for the summer with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for dogs. I provide a safe, comfortable, and attentive environment where your pet can feel at home while you're away! I have dog sat for family, friends, and even neighbors for a little over 4 years now! I’ve always wanted a pet myself but never had a chance to so I disperse my love and affection for all pets! I understand that every pet has different needs between playtime, walks, needing a specific schedule. I will make sure that whatever the need may be, I will follow it as closely as possible so that they can feel as comfortable as possible. I believe that communication is very important so I will always provide updates, pictures, and etc so that you can have peace of mind at all times! My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I currently work with the government on a schedule where I choose the days and times that I work! Shifts are not available everyday so in the free time that I have, I love to pet sit! Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a calm, supervised environment and make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a comfortable place to rest, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I will follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special needs. There are no other pets in my home and no children present! Pets can be crated if needed and they are not often left alone (if cannot be left alone at all then your pet will not be left alone!).
“Alayja was amazing with my cat during her drop in visits. She went over and beyond for him and always responded quickly to any questions I had. I will definitely be rebooking with her.”

Haley was an amazing pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, Nami, while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and made sure Nami was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my kitty was in good hands. I would absolutely trust Haley to watch Nami again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!
Jacki was a great joy to our two cats! We really appreciated her taking the time to get to know them and giving them space when they needed it. She is extremely knowledgeable and she was able to get the both of them to warm up to her quickly! Would recommend!
Valerie did a great job with my kitties. She kept me informed about what they were doing while I was away and sent tons of pictures. I miss my cats when I’m traveling but I know they were in good hands with Valarie and I loved getting pictures and videos everyday.
Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.
We are so appreciative of Chris being avail to pop in on our Lil big guy during the holiday. He was great from the communication, the photos he sent and giving big baby some tlc which I'm sure he enjoyed. We'd definitely recommend Chris and look forward to reaching out to him again.- Thanks Chris!!
I cannot recommend Sarah B.enough. From the very first message, their communication was clear, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. They treated my pet like family, patient, attentive, and genuinely caring the entire time. I received regular updates, photos, and check-ins that gave me total peace of mind.

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 August 2026, there are 16,901 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Mitchellville. 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 Mitchellville 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 Mitchellville. 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.
