I treat every dog as my own and have excellent communication with pet parents. I work remotely during the week with a flexible schedule and am available all day on weekends. I am willing to accept clients on a recurring basis. I treat all dogs as my own. I am passionate about providing an excellent and stress free experience for both pets and pet parents !

About: Hi! I’m Hannah, an experienced animal caregiver with over 15 years of hands-on experience. I spent 10 years as a zookeeper, where I cared for a wide variety of animals. My job involved daily care, enrichment, behavioral training, observing body language and behavior, and helping ensure the animals were healthy, comfortable, and safe. Working with animals professionally taught me to be patient, attentive, and calm while always respecting each animal’s individual needs. One of the most rewarding parts of my zoo career was training animals to voluntarily participate in their own care. For instance, I successfully used positive reinforcement to administer COVID vaccinations to gorillas and ocelots, safely and effectively without physical restraint. If I can earn the trust and cooperation of a grumpy gorilla or an ocelot for something as important as a vaccination, you can feel confident that I have the patience, experience, and skills to help manage your pet’s care with the same level of compassion and attention. Before becoming a zookeeper, I spent 2 years volunteering at an aquarium as a veterinary technician assistant, where I gained valuable experience with animal health care. I also spent 2 years volunteering at an animal shelter, walking dogs and helping administer medications to animals who needed them. Lastly, I spent 1 year prior to these professional experiences dog walking and pet sitting. Several of my clients had pets that needed medical care involving insulin injections and oral medications. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets as I have a calico cat of my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll take the time to learn their personality, routines, likes and dislikes, and make sure they receive the same patience and care I would want for my own cat. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, your cat needs some company and enrichment, or your pet needs medication and a little extra TLC, I’d be happy to help! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for my clients’ pets throughout the day. I can often accommodate last-minute requests and am happy to work with my clients’ schedules, whether they need a quick check-in, a walk, or extended in-home care. I understand that life doesn’t always allow for weeks of advance planning, so I’ll do my best to accommodate short-notice bookings whenever my schedule allows. For overnight stays and longer bookings, advance notice is always appreciated so I can make sure I’m fully available and give my clients’ pets the time and attention they deserve. I provide in-home pet sitting so your pets can stay comfortable in the place they know best. I believe cats especially feel most secure when they can stay in their own environment, surrounded by their familiar sights, smells, and routines. When I stay in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their pets’ normal routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow their instructions for feeding, medications, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and any other daily routines. I also take time to get to know each pet’s personality and pay close attention to their body language so I can understand when they want attention, playtime, cuddles, or simply some space. I’m respectful of my clients’ homes and treat them as I would my own. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, follow any house rules, and make sure the pets receive plenty of attention and companionship while their humans are away. My goal is for the pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—and for my clients to have peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced and compassionate hands.
“Jennifer is the best! This is the second time she has watched our two cats and they absolutely love her. She always takes time to cuddle and play with them when she comes over. We could not be more grateful for her!”
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!
About: I have over 17 years of experience in pet care from sitting in home for those who needed me to board their furry loved ones at my home. I have had many pets throughout my life to include hedgehogs, cats, dogs, rabbits, and goats. I have had a wide range of breeds from small to large and the most recent sight hounds. I rescued my bangled empress (red brindle greyhound) from racing, and while our time was short, I fell in love with her intellectual and unique personalities. Looking to walk or sit as needed. Reach out and let’s connect to see how I can help you with your busy schedule. Pet care is per diem in between my medical work. While I do take most contractual work, I tend to give pet care the same degree of care and focus I give to our fellow human beings. Engaging in pet care offers time for me to recenter and focus on the little things and be present with the furry family members! I tend to engage and meet the client when in their home. Strictly adhering to their rules of the house and their pet routine. Let’s discuss more to see how I can assist!
“Sara was awesome! She was able to accept a short notice sitting and connected with Silver (my cat) immediately. We appreciated her communication and photos each time and even let us know when she was running late or needed to shift a visit time. I'm sure Silver would absolutely love to have you watch him again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs as pets, and I have a Labradoodle named Roux and a tabby cat named peaches. I know how important it is to take care of someone else’s pets because I would want them to do the same for me I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I take care of pets after work and on the weekends. I also make myself available for holidays If I were taking care of a pet in my home, they are free to roam the house and I also have a fenced in backyard and front yard. If I was taking care of a pet at someone else’s house, I would follow all of their instructions so that I can give the best care possible
About: I grew up with three dogs and started dog sitting for my neighbors in sixth grade. Neighbors and friends still ask me to watch their puppies. I’m attending college classes, so my schedule is flexible. I will adjust my availability to fit your needs. I’m also open to coming earlier or later if needed. I will ensure your pets are safe, cared for, and that I follow your instructions. I enjoy spending time with dogs and taking them to parks.
“Vivi helped me on short notice! She exhibited genuine concern for my animals and was quick to communicate. I truly appreciate her caring and confidence. I have no doubts that I will use her 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
“I’m brand new to using Rover and Jasmin really set the bar high! She was very helpful for me and so sweet to my babies! I’ve got four crazies who are afraid of new ppl but she got them all to listen and calm down with her! She’s amazing and I highly recommend her!”
About: I have cared for dogs and a variety of different animals for the past 10 years. I am very compassionate and hardworking, and I’ll take great care of your animal. I am a recent graduate who works from home so I’m very flexible and can accommodate you and your pet’s schedule. I am available to help out most days. I am comfortable traveling to your home and caring for your dog there. I would love to keep your dog in the daily routine as much as possible.
About: I have extensive experience in caring for both cats and dogs. I have a rescue Bombay cat named Mojo, who unfortunately has FIC (Feline Idiopathic Cystitis). However, this has made me proficient in administering medication to animals and monitoring them closely! Additionally, I grew up with many Pit Bulls in my childhood home. This has given me the ability to handle larger animals effectively. I actively volunteer at local shelters in my free time as well. I aim to create safe yet homely environments to ensure optimal well-being for every furry friend under my care. I am currently on summer break from college, granting me open availability. With no constraints on my schedule, I can provide round-the-clock attention and care to furry companions. Whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, or late-night cuddles, I am fully committed to catering to the individual needs and preferences of each animal under my care. I provide a fenced backyard for safe playtime and a separate room for restful sleep. With the presence of my friendly cat, Mojo, companionship and socialization are encouraged. Animals are free to roam, including my room if comfortable.

Melissa did a few drop-in visits over the long weekend while we were out and the pups were in excellent hands! She took great care of them, sent us photos, and even sent videos of our slipper and sudoku book crime scenes! RIP slippers. 😁 We look forward to working with Melissa again soon!
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.
Noah was amazing as usual ! He was able to fit us in during his busy schedule so we could visit family cross country . He took very good care of our boys and made sure to communicate any and everything (per our request) . Will definitely use his services again !

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.
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 Oxon Hill 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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
