About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. My clients get to travel calmly, knowing their loved one is in safe hands. I am great with pets that require a lot of attention. I give them the love and affection they need to feel at home. I live in a house of animal lovers in a safe suburban neighborhood. It has dog parks and trails and lots of sidewalks. I also have a gated and decent-sized backyard for supervised potty breaks and playdates, so your pet will never be left alone. I am available any day to care for your fur baby. I will make sure they are fed, walked, and loved as if they were my own 🥰 I follow the feeding schedule and provide a frequent supervised potty break and playtime. I am a big animal lover, and the comfort of your pet is my priority.
“Absolutely fantastic service. Very communicative and my dogs loved her! We have a new rescue and he came out of his cage and his room to greet her. He hasn't done that until now! I'll definitely book again.”
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: Hello! I've had dogs all my life and worked as part of a rescue group for part of that time. I love dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them. I can take them for walks, give them lots of attention and if they take any medication, I have experience with that as well. I'm good with any size dog since I've had a lot of different ones from Cocker Spaniels to Irish Wolfhounds. I don't have any "official" recommendations but I have pet sitted for friends of my family a time or two. I'm also good with multiple dogs, having grown up around 6-12 in my house at any given time, along with multiple cats. I would love to be able to pet sit for you! I currently work from home, so I am able to be flexible when it comes to taking care of your furry family members, rain or shine! I can do doggy daycare in my house if your furry friend gets along with mine, but also more than happy to take care of your pets in your home, whether taking them out for a walk, feeding them, or letting them out into the yard.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from everywhere! Neighbors and friends count on me to feed and play with their pet as if it’s my own! I currently have very flexible availability. I am working on building my career so I have plenty of time between planned obligations to take care of your pet. I have an apartment so I only offer pet walking and house sitting. My complex has a “no pet” policy. I enjoy long walks and resting with pets.
About: I’ve had 3 dogs that have all lived long happy lives. I have stayed overnight with dogs of all sizes. Love all animals! I have a platform that highlights pet owners and nature. I work remotely and have flexibility that allows me to be present for the animals I care for. I have a schedule I follow, so I will be available as needed and great communication I ask clients to be clear on their preferences so we have a safe and fun experience. I am open to trials and meet and greets as well.
About: Fostered and adopted rescue cats and dogs since childhood. As an adult, I’ve adopted and fostered four dogs and worked closely with trainers to deal with obedience, reactivity, and impulse control. As a helper to you and your pet, I will prioritize earning your dog or cat’s trust, being consistent with your routine and training goals, and showing them all the love I have to give. You can count on me, and I’ll aend more photos than you need to prove it! ☺️ I work from home and can adjust my meeting schedule easily. I have two dogs myself and understand how important routine is. As long as we plan ahead, we can make anything work! I offer walks, drop ins, and pet sitting in your home. Happy to care for the plants as well. ☺️ Depending on the distance, I can stay overnight or make multiple daily trips while balancing care for my own fur babies.
About: My experience comes from caring for my own pets and giving them consistent, loving care. I’ve had a cat since I was around 12–13 and have been responsible for feeding, cleaning, playing with, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I’ve also had a dog and have lived in homes with dogs, so I’m comfortable around both cats and dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have pets of my own as of now, but I am always free to show animals the love and care needed. I'm available for pet care and happy to help!! I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment for pets. I follow each pet's routine , keep them supervised, and make sure they have food, water, attention, and a comfortable space.
“Kay truly goes above and beyond. She’s great at communicating and always keeps me in the loop, which gives me so much peace of mind. Even when I forget something last minute, she’s more than happy to help without any stress. I always know my kitties are well taken care of, fed on time, and have fresh water. I never worry when they’re with her.”
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! I love being outside, and making sure that the animals are safe while doing so is of the utmost importance to me !
About: I have cared for dogs over 25 years. I have taught my children how to care for and love dogs. Although, we currently do not own any pets- we put our love on your pets. I work from home 5 days per week until 2pm. The children are all home by 5pm when they can walk, feed and play with pets together. I will only care for your dog in my home. When I am home I walk, feed and allow playtime for your dog. We always have fun!!! I ask that your fur baby is caged trained and shots are up to date.
About: I have over 3 years experience walking and pet sitting on Rover, and have been the primary pet caregiver for my household, including 3 dogs, for over 12 years. I love showering pets with tons of affection and play, but also respecting them as animals to give them the proper care they need. I’m pretty comfortable with dogs of all sizes and can do feeding, walking, or drop ins to sooth anxiety. Right now I care for dog Lola, and when she’s not around I’m making new fur friends around Patterson Park. I know that your dog is not just a pet, but a cherished member of your family, and let’s be honest it really does takes a village, so I’m here to be part of your pet support team and treat them with with love, respect, and exceptional care. I’m currently self employed and working from home. I know that life can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible availability whether you require daily walks or last minute appointments I can be there to make sure your pet has the care and attention they deserve. Constant Communication with you, the pet parent, is essential as I believe transparency and trust are the building blocks to a successful partnership and positive experience.

“I love how conscientious Matilda is with all of our requests and providing feedback to us during her visits. My cat, Milo, is warming up to her and has even spent time on her lap (for my Scardy Cat - that is amazing). I hope to continue to use her during our travels.”
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 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.
“Baylin was great, Rolo is a very anxious and took some time to warm up to Baylin, Baylinn was calm and patient and Rolo eventually warmed up to him and the drop in went well, Roscoe loved Baylin and was happy to be pet the whole time, we will definitely be using Baylin again.”
About: I've cared for a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, reptiles, and rabbits. I've been lucky enough to live with several wonderful pets, including special needs dogs, and currently share my home with two wonderful cats. I currently work early mornings, with a fairly flexible schedule. I am currently available for afternoon and evenings, but with notice, I can also provide morning check ins. I have the utmost respect for clients' pets and homes and I want to do everything I can to seamlessly integrate pet care into your routines.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Carrollton
Anny is incredibly nice and she did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She sent me photos and updates so I always knew what was going on and went above and beyond, playing with, petting, and brushing my dog not just popping in to dump food in a bowl/rushing the dog outside and leaving.
Bryanna was wonderful with our furry crew! She took such great care of everyone and even our shyest kitties opened up to her! I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for conscientious and loving care for your pets. She was timely and communicated well with us the entire time.
We were really hesitant at first because this will be the first times our dogs got visited by a sitter, Alexander made everything easy, they went to my home even before the actual dates to meet my dogs i have 3, my dogs instantly liked him, we had alex come by to our home 3 times during the day, he took them out for walks, spend time with them, and also feed them with no problems whats so ever, send pictures updates, really recommend him
Olivia was a wonderful sitter for our three cats. We arranged her service at the last minute after our regular sitter was unavailable. Our cats immediately took to her as she lovingly extended her hand to meet them. They were fed, litter boxes were cleaned and they were calm when we returned. Great communication and it was a nice touch to get photo updates! I can highly recommend her service!

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 .
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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
