“Elizabeth took great care of my cats. She fed and cleaned litter boxes daily. According to the cats, she gave out treats and pets as they demanded. I definitely recommend her for cat sitting!”
“Gracie saved us with a drop-in visit on Christmas Eve. She was kind to my over excited and lonely dog. Even took her on walks out in the bitter cold. Five out of five gold star service!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs throughout my life and understand their need for exercise, attention, and consistency. I enjoy making sure every dog feels happy and safe. Pet sitting fits well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to give pets consistent attention and care. I’m a student and work full time so I am usually available evenings, weekends. I follow thr guidelines set out by the family and would never hesitate to reach out to the family if I had questions. My goal is to do things almost exactly like the owners would if they were home so the pets are at peace!
“Mandy was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and cat, was very communicative, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care! I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone!”
About: I’m a dedicated dog owner with hands-on experience caring for multiple fur babies with different needs, personalities, and sizes. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic care, and giving pets the patience and attention they need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with dogs who deal with allergies, sensitive stomachs, and anxious behavior, so I understand how important it is to pay attention to routines and little changes in behavior. What sets me apart is that I truly treat fur babies like family. I know every pet has their own personality, comfort level, energy needs, and routine, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Whether your dog is playful and active, shy and nervous, or just wants cuddles and consistency, I aim to provide loving, dependable care and regular updates so you can feel at ease while they’re with me. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for dogs of my own and structure my day around feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m used to keeping up with routines, paying attention to behavior changes, and giving pets the time, patience, and affection they need. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or boarding, I make sure each pet gets consistent care, attention, and a calm environment. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I make sure pets have a clean, secure, and calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, potty schedules, medications if needed, and any special routines or triggers your pet may have. In a client’s home, I respect your space and do my best to keep your pet on their normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also believe in regular updates, clear communication, and treating every fur baby with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own.
“Nicollette took great care of the kitties, and was really communicative throughout. She was helpful and patient when our litter robot acted up, and even came back for an unplanned visit when our flight was changed. We felt very good having her in our home and taking care of our babies!”
“Melissa watched our two cats, Lily and Brie, on short notice. She did a phenomenal job! Our cats are usually shy around sitters, but they warmed up to Melissa right away. She sent photos of our babies, which put a smile on our face and let us know they were in good hands. Would highly recommend Melissa!”
About: I have seven plus years of taken care of dogs that range from newly born puppies to terminally ill dogs. Breeds include toy poodles to pit bulls. I work mainly remote but I am available to assist with mornings, and mid-afternoon walks, house sitting and full time care on the weekends. It's a bonus if your baby likes long walks. I can come to your home to care for your baby to offer potty breaks, walks or house sit. I am happy to also host your baby at my home. I hope they are social as I do have dogs of my own that are super friendly.
About: I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised my cairn terrier since she was two months old and she’s now 12!! I’ve worked with big dogs, small dogs, old and young. I currently train my dog in emotional and psychiatric care as she is training to be a service animal. I am currently working a part-time job and do online school so don’t worry about me leaving your pets high and dry!! I have two pets of my own so I know how important attention is. I’m available whenever you need me I live in a dog friendly neighborhood where all the dogs (and dog owners) know each other. I have a large yard and live only a couple minutes away from a park. I can easily crate your pet if necessary and have a super shy dog that won’t bother yours at all. We have plenty of things to keep your pet entertained including a splash pad and plenty of toys
About: I've had a dog for 5 years. I always walk, watch, and care for my friends' dogs. I am their go-to person when it comes to what's good for their dogs. I'm a stay-at-home wife. So I have plenty of time to walk and take dogs on their daily exercise. I can fit my schedule around the dog's owner schedule. I live in Oldtown Alexandria. It’s a very walkable neighborhood with plenty of dog parks. It’s a very dog friendly area and dogs love it here.
“Shekyira was an amazing caretaker for my cat. She fed her on schedule each day and sent photos to negate any anxiety or worries. She is very personable and has a calm spirit which both I and my cat appreciates and welcomes. She will always be my first choice. Much gratitude Shekyira.”
About: I currently work at Hope Advanced Veterinary Center as a veterinary technician/ assistant in the Emergency Department. I have happily worked in this field for 6 years and will continue to work in this field, starting with general practice (the adorable puppy visits) Veterinary science has given me the opputrunity to work with all domesticated canines and felines. The confident and less reactive pets and pets who are scared and tend to be skittish or may even bite sometimes. With my expericence I believe I can have a great time with your pet and make each other very comfortable with my walks and visits. Also if your pet need any kind of medical help I can help with that also. A bonding experience with a new pet is what I literally thrive for.Big dogs and attitude filled cats are my favorite to look after, but my heart is open for every animal big or small. My expertise in the veterinary medical field would make me a great candidate to be your pets bestfriend. As an ER vet nurse I work 13 hours shifts 3 days a week Sun-Tues. I have one canine and one feline at home and we typically spend our days off outside in the park enjoying the sun. 4 days out the week I am able to commute and walk dogs and also pay house visits. So that way I can have more than 3 days out the week to enjoy other animal companions. Unfortunately I do not have enough space in my home to provide boarding, also my cat is easily stressed and I would hate to make her uncomfortable in her home. She also can be a bit of a queen.
About: “Having my own dog has given me years of hands-on experience with caring for and understanding dogs. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ve also watched and walked dogs for friends and neighbors, ensuring their pets are happy, exercised, and well-cared for. Dogs always feel safe and loved with me!” “I offer reliable pet care after school and on weekends. With experience caring for my own dog and others, I provide attentive walks, playtime, and love for pets.” “I prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being. I ensure a secure environment by keeping pets on leashes during walks and monitoring their surroundings. I am trustworthy and take responsibility seriously, giving you peace of mind while your pet is in my care.”
About: I’ve been taken care of dogs since I was 12 years old and raised my own kitten as recuse when mom a abandoned her I love animals and I have special connection with them. I’m available part-time I’m also a full time student so this extra money for me while I get threw school, but my schedule is flexible so I can work with you. I make sure I get all emergency contact, allergies list and everything know all the in and out before taken care of your pet, so a meet and greet is always necessary.
“Audrey made our vacation so much more enjoyable as we really had as they say, no worries. The daily update put any concerns we may have had at ease. She was extremely flexible up to the last minute. She’s game for caring for any kind of pet, be it birds, cat, tortoise, or bunny. So glad we found her here on Rover.”
About: I Love Dogs!! Why Not Rov!!! I currently have a two year old whippet terrier mix and she is my world!! She is like my child lol... So your dog will be in great care by receiving constant monitoring, long walks, on time feeding times and play times with myself and my dog. My current dog roams freely around my apartment so your dog will receive lots of freedom to play and roam around as he or she fits. If you wish to have your pup separate, I have a big enough apartment where the dogs would be kept separate and receive little to no contact. There is also a dog park close to my home (Bundy Dog Park) that me and my dog go to all the time. Your dog will love it. PS. I love to send photos and videos to owners of their dog(s) in my care.

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 !
Shanae helped out on very short notice and did a great job walking and feeding my dog Oso. She was reliable, responsive, and made sure everything was done as asked. My dog seemed happy and well taken care. I appreciated the photo updates as well. I’d definitely recommend Shanae and would use her again!

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 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 .

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.
To find sitters in Oxon Hill with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
