About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has always been something that comes naturally to me. As a dog and cat parent myself, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with a wider range of pet owners and ensure clear understanding of your pet's needs and care instructions. My goal is to give your pets the same care, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. You can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family members are in caring and dependable hands. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work during the week, but I’m available in the evenings after 6pm for dog walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets. On weekends, I have more flexibility and can offer boarding and extended care. Because I have a set work schedule, I’m able to plan ahead and make sure every pet I care for gets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I truly enjoy spending my free time with animals, so pet care is something I genuinely look forward to. When your pet stays in my home, they’ll have plenty of space to relax, play, and move around comfortably. I have a friendly Labradoodle and a cat who have their own separate areas of the home, so your pet can have some company if they’re comfortable around other animals. I always respect each pet’s personality and your preferences, and I’m happy to keep pets separated or crated if that’s what makes them feel safest and most comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and welcoming home where every pet can feel comfortable while they’re away from their family.
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.
“Mariela accepted my dog visit bookings on short notice over the 4th of July weekend and took great care of them. She followed my instructions expertly and sent me photos. I recommend her 10/10!”

“Erica, we want to thank you so much for taking excellent care of our 4 cats. Erica was checking in on our cats twice daily for the week we were on vacation. She arrived right on schedule each day and fed and cared for our cats, and before checkout sent pictures from each visit. When we arrived home our pets were happy and well cared for, thanks to Erica. I highly recommend Erica to anyone who is looking for a reliable, honest and trustworthy caretaker for your pets.”

“Alexander did a great job visiting my puppy while I was away. He was timely, gentle and attentive when handling him. I appreciate the updates and extra help with cleaning up after my pup and I trusted that my dog was in great hands. Thanks!”

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.
“We’ve had Astrid cat sit for us 4 times now and she is THE BEST!! She is so sweet and accommodating, trust worthy, and you can tell she really loves and adores our animals. She also sends the cutest pictures. If you are wondering whether or not to book her, DO IT!! She is so wonderful. Thanks Astrid :)”

About: Hello! My name is Teena! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet sitter with 3 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience. I’ve cared for my friends’ cats, dogs, and even fish while they were away on vacation, helping with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their normal routines. I’m especially passionate about making sure both cats and dogs receive the care and attention they need. I love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch, keeping them active, giving them potty breaks, and providing plenty of companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog has a different personality and energy level, so I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs—whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and affectionate. I genuinely love animals and don’t see pet sitting as simply a job. Whether it’s a long walk with your dog, playtime with your cat, a clean litter box, medication, or simply some extra love and companionship, I’m here to make sure your pets are in caring hands. I’ll treat your fur babies with kindness, patience, and plenty of love—because they deserve to feel right at home while you’re away! 🐾♥️ Pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine because I’m currently available most days and have a flexible schedule. I’m happy to work around your schedule and adjust my availability based on your pet’s specific needs and routine. I’m comfortable with different types of schedules and responsibilities, whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a daily walk, multiple visits throughout the day, feeding at specific times, medication, playtime, or simply some extra companionship. The most important thing to me is communication. As long as I’m given clear and detailed instructions about your pet’s routine, needs, preferences, and what is expected of me, I’m happy to accommodate. Every pet is different, and I want to make sure I’m following your instructions so your pet can maintain as much of their normal routine as possible while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. I’ll follow the routine and instructions you provide, including feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter-box cleaning, medication, and any other specific care your pet needs. I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate different routines and requests. As long as I receive detailed instructions about what needs to be done and what you expect from me, I’m happy to follow them. I understand that you know your pet best, so I take your instructions seriously and do my best to keep their routine consistent. I’ll also make sure to be respectful of your home, keep your pet’s areas clean, and pay attention to how your pet is behaving throughout my visit. My goal is for you to feel comfortable knowing that your pet—and your home—are in responsible, caring hands while you’re away.
“Ilia was so with it! She made special accommodations for me, made herself available, and was super communicative throughout the process. She was so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend!”

“Lolah loves Ademide, and that says a lot since my cat does not warm up to any sitter or guest. Pet owners, rest assured that Ademide will respect your home and be your pet’s best friend! Book Ademide with confidence!”

“Carla was very thoughtful about how she looked after our beloved cats during an unexpected time away. She visitors ahead of time and asked good questions about their care, and was extremely flexible and responsive when our plans changed yet again. Highly recommend.”

About: I owned a Pekingese since I was a child who passed away a few years ago. I also walked dogs in the neighborhood since middle school. Since then, I've lived with dogs (including an anxious dog) and have also volunteered dog walking at an animal shelter. I'm a recent law school graduate who will be relocating to Seattle in October for work. In the meantime, I'm completely free to take on work! As for distance and location, I mostly get around by Metro - if you're near a train or bus station, I can get to you. Working with animals at the shelter I've been able to handle dogs who are reluctant to return to kennels or who are a little shy - I'm patient, flexible, and observant!

About: I’m a dog lover through and through. I’m a teacher by trade, so I have flexibility during the summers to walk or dog sit, essentially all day! I have experience in walking and boarding large and small breeds alike. I pride myself on providing meaningful and engaging walks and making sure owners feel comfortable and secure by sending updates and pictures during and after care! Hi!! I’m a teacher and I have the summers free, so I use this as an opportunity to pick up extra work that also happens to bring me joy! I can usually work my day around waking your fur babies. I'm all about providing your pup with the utmost care. I have experience with both small and large dogs alike and have no issues walking, feeding, or crating your fur babies!
About: I am an animal lover and have had various types of animal companions throughout my lifetime. Currently I am the Farm operator for our Urban farm. We raise ducks and chickens but they are always separate from visiting pups. Only within view for their entertainment and relaxation here on the farm. Yes we are located nearby in the city 🥰 I have a quiet understanding with most animals that I come across and enjoy their company. I have sat for many of my friends and family and am the go to person when someone needs to go out and about but cannot take their pet family members. I am currently focusing on dog sitting and have dedicate my time to being available to meet as many fur babies as I can in the next couple months. I have a room dedicated to pet care which has a greenhouse feel with plants but is fully enclosed in the home. It has a doggy door which leads out to our fully fenced back yard and large dog run with a insulated dog house inside. I also have a wireless camera on the areas which allow me to make sure that everyone is ok at all times. Please note that I no longer accept large breed dogs at this time aside from past clients. I am currently focusing my time on pet sitting. I am always also checking in via webcam on the pups wherever I am. Dog personalities are so amazing and fun to see. I have a double fenced yard to keep your pets safe. Lots of open dog crates and bedding for snoozing. A dog door that allows them some freedom and a large dedicated outdoor dog area for doggie playtime. They also always have access to fresh cool water.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 5 years. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to watch after their furry loved ones. I have my own dog who we adopted from our local rescue shelter. I am a college student with a very flexible schedule. I also have reliable transportation which allows me to travel to you and your pet(s). I can only care for pets in the clients home since I currently live in on campus housing which does not allow for non service or approved animals.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and growing up, neighbors and friends would often reach out to me for pet care! I also volunteered at an animal shelter through middle and high school and, in addition to learning how to properly care for animals, I also learned a lot about reading dog and cat behavior and body language. I also have experience giving medication to cats and dogs (even the most stubborn and wriggly of them all), so if your pet requires medication, you can feel confident that they will get it! I mostly work from home and have a pretty flexible working schedule. The chance to get out of my house, go for a walk, or hang out with a cute cat or dog is always a bonus for me! I look forward to the days I get to take care of someone’s pet because it fits perfectly in my schedule, brings me so much joy, and gives me an opportunity to help others out. I can visit your home to give your pets potty breaks, feedings, walks, or quality time. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of play time and interaction over the course of a home visit!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Carrollton
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!

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.

Layla took great care of our cat Mosey. She was very attentive and gave great, detailed notes on how Mosey was doing. Layla communicated with us throughout the week we were gone and our cat kitty was very happy with Layla’s company. I definitely recommend Layla for pet care.

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!

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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Carrollton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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 .

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.
