About: I've loved animals my whole life, back to the days of summer camp at the National Zoo. I've walked many different dogs through watching friends' and neighbors' pets and volunteering at local animal shelters. I'm also a cat lover who has had cats in the house my whole life, and I even have some experience with pet fish! Animals of all sizes and personalities will be well-loved when spending time with me. :) Added bonus: I'm an excellent pet photographer, so I promise I'll get your furry friend's best side! I'm on summer break from school starting June 19, 2026, so I'll be available most days (including daytime, evenings, and weekends) unless I'm traveling! Before then, I'm available evenings and weekends. My priority is making sure your pet is safe and feels safe with me. I will always ensure your animal has food and water, bathroom access, and protection from other animals. I'm happy to accommodate any pet-specific concerns, too -- I have lots of experience with reactive dogs and will discuss your pet's needs before I spend time with them. I'm committed to spending as much time as needed making sure an animal feels comfortable with me.
About: I have been a vet technician for 4 years. My specialty is general wellness. Taking care of fur babies and giving them excellent care. Pets with different temperament and sizes are no issues for me. I work full time at the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA). From Tuesday to Friday. I volunteer at City Wildlife in DC all day Monday. I’m Available all weekend at whatever time. I have a 1 bedroom apartment with just 1 cat. A big neighborhood with a lot of open space. I also love long walks & hikes. A lot of outside time & new adventures.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have learned how to care, play, and communicate with them through a lifetime of caring for them in my own home. I’ve come to love their little personalities, every pet a distinct individual. I also have experience working in a local pet store and know a great deal about nutrition and treats for pets. I can walk, check in on, or sit for your pet while you’re away in a safe, trustworthy manner. Dogs of all sizes as well as cats are welcome! I hope you’ll consider me today! I’m a full time college student, so my schedule is very flexible. I am most available in the summer and winter, but during the semester I’ll have plenty of time fri-sun and later availability mon-thur! I am able to control rowdy/excited animals on walks and have extensive knowledge in pet diet restrictions. Pet care may seem simple, but I take their safety and security very seriously. If anything unusual happens, you’ll be notified straight away.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets throughout my lifetime, starting at the age of 7. I’ve had fish, turtles, cats, dogs, and bearded dragons. So my passion for animals across the board runs pretty deep. Though currently I’m unable to have a personal pet of my own, that has no effect on my ability to take care and love on the pets you cherish. I have 2 dephews (dog nephews) that I love very much, as if they’re were my dogs and that’s the closest I’m able to get to a personal pet at this time. Nonetheless, my passion for animals has drawn me to the idea of becoming a dog & cat walker/sitter and I think I will find a lot of joy and fulfillment in this. I’m currently unemployed and have a very flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs daily or weekly attention, I’m definitely the girl you need for the job! I will care for your pets in accordance to how I would want my pet to be treated. With respect, and love. I’m very attentive and will be sure to take care of your pet to your specific wants & needs.
About: I’ve had a dog since I was 6 then I got another one that was all my responsibility when I was 15. I went through basic, intermediate, and advanced training and I hold titles in all of them for my dog. I’ve dog sat my friends little Yorkie mix and I myself have a 90 pound golden doodle and a 45 pound Irish troodle so I’ve been with and handled dogs of all sizes. I’ve always had a love for animals and not to brag but all the animals I meet love me too lol. I am very responsible and have been taking care of dogs for a long time now. I am a new grad school student with a part time job. My schedule is pretty consistent and flexible week to week so feel free to reach out to inquire about scheduling:) If I am caring for a pet in your home all I ask is that you give me some instructions of what you would like me to do and I will be happy to do that.
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether they’re energetic puppies or gentle seniors. I have experience with basic training for young pets, helping reinforce good habits, and I’m patient and compassionate with older animals who may need extra support or mobility assistance. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy while giving owners peace of mind. I can work part time and spend as much time as needed with each pet. I love taking care of animals. Pet care is a part of my daily routine I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention. Throughout the week, I stay flexible to accommodate different needs. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks and any specific instructions. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates (Pictures), and make sure pets feel secure in their familiar environment. At the end of the day I want each pet that I meet to have a loving care experience and feel relaxed and well cared for at all times.
“Nasheia is incredibly professional, communicative, and so very caring towards our dog Charlie! Charlie has a few special needs in his diet and behavior around other dogs, and Nasheia has handled everything he’s thrown at her. She drops in to our home for feeding and walks while we’re in office a few days during the week, and Charlie absolutely loves her. Nasheia communicates any issues early on, like scheduling or unexpected things happening during visits. She also politely points out when supplies like treats or food are low. She’s forward thinking and that’s a perfect match for us as planners when it comes to our dog. We’d recommend her to anyone!”
About: I work as an assistant manager at Preston’s Country Club for Pets, supporting daily kennel operations. What sets me apart is the experienced, attentive care I give every pet.

I am currently attending University of Maryland, however I only have class for few hours a day. My schedule for classes are Mondays/Wednesdays 9-11:30 and Tuesdays/Thursdays 10- 12:30. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress free. This includes feeding according to instructions, providing fresh water, walks or exercise, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I also maintain the home by cleaning up after pets, keeping food and litter areas tidy, and sending regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, piranha, bunnies, turtles and rodents, etc! I have always loved and seen animals as the more primal side of our nature but that’s one of the purest forms of love that one can give! I am currently working full time at NIH, and after about 3:30pm, I work with animals around my community. Weekends I like to volunteer with people struggling with bigger dogs and temperament issues. Walking and leash training is key in my experience. I have a big yard for good time and to keep them safe!

Currently freelancing as an IT professional with my schedule opening up more in the evening time and full availability on the weekends as well as holidays. Own a pet tortoise and he doing really good. Currently in hibernation so minimal care required just rehoming when it gets a little hotter out here.
“I went away for a week to cali and had no worries. Cam took great care of my little ankle biters. They even had wardrobe changes. My cat Poe even came out to beg her for pets and he usually stays hidden. When I got back the place was clean just like I left it. 🙂 As a sitter myself, I'm super grateful I don't have to worry when I have to travel out of town. Yay Cam🎉”

I can also care for pets in the evening. I am pretty flexible! I will care for pets the way their owners intended in their own home. I would want the same done for my animal babies as well!

Ilia thank you so much for being patient, kind, and genuinely caring with my puppy. Ilia will go above expectations to ensure that your pet feels loved and cared for. She asks questions, was timely, and followed all instructions. I felt at ease knowing that my pup was in your care. I appreciate your help and will continue to book with you.
Julie is truly a dog’s best friend! She’s incredibly warm, patient, and genuinely understands that every dog has their own unique personality, quirks, and triggers. She takes the time to build trust with each dog and makes them feel comfortable and safe. She’s also an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and giving us complete peace of mind. We always know our dogs are in the very best hands with Julie, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Layla was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! They take some time to warm up to new people and Layla went at their pace. Within just a few visits the dogs were in love with her! Layla is very communicative about her visits and sends great picture updates. We’ll definitely be hiring her again in the future. Thank you, Layla!!
Alexis was absolutely amazing while we were out of town! She took such great care of Uno and gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Uno was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker!
Diana came at short notice to meet all my rescue dogs with their quarks. She took the time to get to know them and allow them to warm up to her. She was flexible and very easy to work with. She sent me updates letting me know I didn’t need to worry about my babies while I was away. I would recommend her if you’re looking for a caring and compassionate sitter.

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.
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 New Carrollton 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
