“Tex is a super anxious dog and Nicollette was absolutely wonderful with him. Sent the best updates. Will definitely be asking her to take care of Tex again in the future.”
“Savannah was great! It was our first time using her, but she communicated well and did a great job taking care of our dog! She made sure he got walks, play time, and took his meds.”
About: While I'm new to pet sitting, my love for animals made me start working on rover. I'm patient and attentive, l've cared for friends' pets, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fully commit to pet care! I'm available for walks during the weekdays and can provide boarding and overnight care on weekends. I provide a welcoming and safe environment for pets in my home, ensuring that your pet feels safe and comfortable always and will always supervise playtime to ensure a safe and fun environment.
“Sofia truly goes above and beyond. She made sure my sweet girl had everything she needed when she wasn’t feeling well, gave her meds and kept me updated on how she was doing. She’s the absolute best, I’d recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of several pets since I was young. I had several dogs and cats (sometimes at the same time!). I love walking and playing with dogs, I’ve trained my puppy. I have taken care of big and small dogs. I have also taken care of kittens and adult cats. I have litter trained kittens and played with them often. I currently work full time, but am more than happy to watch your fur baby on my days off! I have days off where I have no plans and would love to spend it with more dogs or with your cat! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies (dogs) of my own who are friendly and can keep your fur baby company. I am use to watching other people’s fur babies in a 24 hour care setting.
“Megan was fantastic and very communicative. She always left thoughtful reports about our pets and took tons of pictures. I'd highly recommend her to care for you fur babies!”
“My senior pup immediately clicked with Paola. I was away for a long work day and was nervous about leaving my senior dog alone for such a long time. Paola's check ins, photos, and videos made me feel great about the care my dog was receiving and I came home to a happy, sleepy, and calm pup.”
“This is my third time booking with Melisa and I will continue to hire her whenever she’s available! She’s done such a great job taking care of my cat while I’m away.”
“Thank you so much, Kyle! You are the best! I really appreciate your help and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my pet was in good hands. Definitely will rebook. Thank you again!”
About: Dogs have always brought Love to my life. Every dog I’ve owned is a rescue, old and young. They’ve taught me love, patience, and responsibility currently working Gig jobs only because i plan to start a new career! i have lots of time to create new relationships with pet owners! I come from a hospitality background and have great work ethic and habits, i treat any place like my own home. And love any animal as if they were my own.
About: The level of personalized care and attention I provide to each pet. I treat every animal like my own and take time to understand their unique routines, preferences, and personalities. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full-time but am home by 4:30 p.m. each day, which allows me to provide consistent evening care, walks, and companionship. My weekends are completely free. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with walking trails and a dog park just a short walk away,perfect for regular exercise, playtime, and potty breaks. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, walks, and quiet time, and always make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for.
About: I have owned pets with my family since I was a baby, and I have been volunteering with animal rescues since the age of 14! (to care for and clean up after cats/dogs.) I also own 14 fish tanks, and 2 beautiful kitties. All very well loved animals. I am currently working part time job during school. I am a college student but only have classes about 3 days a week. I am able to work best after school/ work hours, or on off days! Contact me and we can work something out:) I am an experienced pet owner, and I am happy to provide all the basics like, cleaning cages/litter boxes, food/water bowls, refreshing water and feeding, taking on walks, and playing with the your pet, and of COURSE providing lots of love and attention😸!
“10 stars if I could!!! Thank you so much for all your help! At the drop of a dime came and helped out super last minute for a situation! Thank you again, 10/10 support and derive for my cats! Literally saved my cats life! Thank you”
“Claudia did a fantastic job for taking care of my cat Bobbie during my five weeks away from home. She showed up on time and fed and cared for the cat as scheduled. She took the cuttest pictures and filed a report every day. I have never been away from my cat for so long and was apprehensive about the change of routines but Bobbie was well-fed and cared for as if nothing has happened when I returned. Claudia is a sweetest person and very responsive and accommodating. I am sure her training as vet assistant is instrumental in helping Bobbie making the adjustment. I cannot thank her enough and will definitely ask for her next time I am away.”
“Eric took excellent care of our cats while we were away! He spent quite a bit of time with them and made sure our cat who needed medicine took it again after she had a bad tummy and threw it up the first time. Definitely a sweetheart, would have him look after them again. <3”
“Came home to three happy and healthy kitties after being gone for two and a half weeks. It was so clear how much Constanza was personally invested in the well-being of my little furry family, and that put my mind at ease while I was overseas. Best pet-sitter I've ever used. My cats will be thrilled to know that I'll be contacting her again 😺😸😻 Thank you, Constanza!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 15,734 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Oxon Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Oxon Hill stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
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 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 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.
