About: Iâve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I had a golden growing up for 15 years and now have a dog of my own! I love going on long walks with dogs who need it, playing fetch, and giving lots of scritches and love! No dog is too small or too big for me. Happy to accommodate anything your pet needs! Iâm currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I work in VA and living MD so Iâm really all over the map. I would prefer any time after 3 but can also come in the mornings with enough heads up. I do not have a fenced in back yard but do have a nice trail to walk on and get some energy out. I also have a lead in the backyard to keep the dogs safe and not escape if they would like to roam freely. My coonhound has been just fine with the set up! I also have a crate if preferred. My dog is friendly with others and loves other dogs!
âAutumn is the best! My little Fritatta is scared of strangers and hides whenever anyone else comes over, but Autumn made a connection with her instantly and Fritatta loves her!! Now I can travel worry free.â

âThank you, Randy, for being available to take care of Jenny on such short notice! She enjoyed meeting you. I felt at ease knowing that you would look after her. Until the next time! Juan.â

âShanae 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. Iâd definitely recommend Shanae and would use her again!â

About: Since 2019, Iâve been providing loving, reliable pet care with experience in dog sitting, house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and more. I bring high energy, patience, and genuine passion to every animal I care for. Whether itâs a playful pup, a shy cat, or a senior dog who just needs gentle companionship, I show up with consistency, love, and respect for their unique needs. Your pets are familyâand I treat them like it. Iâm a full-time caregiver with a flexible, free-range scheduleâI donât work a traditional 9 to 5. When Iâm not cat or dog sitting, Iâm usually babysitting, doing side gigs, or making deliveries with Uber Eats and DoorDash. My days are adaptable, which allows me to give plenty of attention, care, and time to the pets Iâm responsible for. Iâm available for check-ins, walks, and overnight stays based on what your pet needs! Whether Iâm caring for pets in my home or in a clientâs home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and safe environment. I follow each petâs routine closelyâfeeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and comfort. In my home, I keep the space cozy, pet-proofed, and welcoming with lots of love and supervision. In the clientâs home, I respect the space and maintain their petâs normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I send regular updates, photos, and always go the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and cared for like family.
âPaola is a life saver. Iâve had to throw on last minute trips a few times throughout the year and they are always so flexible and kind. I know my animals absolutely love her and even when they cause their chaos or my house is a total sh*tshow, Paola goes above and beyond. She helps with packages and our birds when she really doesnât have to. She provides a super hospitable experience and communicates so nicely. I really appreciate and could not recommend Paola for everyone - animals are better off with her care and humans too :) .â

âKriss was amazing with my 12 year old feline, Catalina, She was well cared for while I was away on a business trip I highly recommend using Kriss again for drop in visits.â


About: Iâve been around dogs for most of my life and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Iâm patient, dependable, and comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pet while youâre away. Iâm active and enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping higher-energy dogs engaged, but Iâm just as comfortable providing a calm environment for older or lower-energy dogs. Iâm also comfortable reinforcing basic commands, routines, and good behavior with younger dogs. My goal is to follow the routine youâve established and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while theyâre with me. I currently work week days from about 830 to 330 and off weekends. I often work from home if needed. I am very flexible with coordinating care. I have a fenced yard that is great for your pets to play. My house is very open and spacious and very pet friendly. I am very flexible depending on your pets needs.
About: My experience working full time in the field of animal care provides me with a great deal of animal related skills. Having cared for and maintained many cats, dogs, I am very comfortable with animals and their care. I am also an expert at scratches! I am available all week to care for your pets. I currently have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day and week. As an animal lover and pet owner, I will have ample love and attention to provide your pets! I love having fun with animals and I will make sure your pets are both healthy and happy!
âThis was my third booking with Katarina. She continues to take great care of my cat while I am out of town, and I am looking forward to continuing to book with her in the future! Katarina is very reliable, a great communicator, and always makes Darcy feel comfortable while I am away :)â


About: Iâve taken care of pets owned by family and friends for over 10years. Specially experienced taking care of senior dogs and cats (meds, special diet) Iâm the person who says hi to any dog walking on the street. I took a training course to help anxious dogs. Be sure Iâll take care of your pet as of my own and will send you many pics. Iâm near old town Alexandria and while I navigate a career transition (ex federal contractor), Iâll be very happy to take care of your furry babies. I have a 13yo cocker spaniel and I know how important is to have someone that takes good care of our pets. Iâll always walk your dog with a leash, pay attention they donât eat something they shouldnât eat on the street, give them their meds, fresh bowl of water, play, praise them for being good pets. Iâll send you photos of your pet to keep you updated.
About: I was gifted a dog when I was born. Iâve been a dog lover ever since. I worked with animals in a professional setting and Iâve loved it and wanted to go back since. Iâm currently not doing anything where my time is restricted so I can be available whenever I donât volunteer to babysit other children. Monday-Sunday at different times. I currently live in an apartment however I live next to a huge field where I can provide adequate outside time as well as daily walks and lots of love, cuddles and play time in home.
About: Three dogs, three personalities, three very different experiences. Iâve raised and cared for three dogs from puppyhood through adulthood: Nova, an American Cocker Spaniel, Ansel, a Rottweiler, and Coco, a Chocolate Lab. That experience has taught me how to work with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, temperaments, and needs. I know every pup is different, and I believe their care should be too. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a potty break, some playtime, or simply a little company while youâre away, Iâm here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for. Although I have a regular job, pet care fits naturally into my schedule. Iâm available during my off-hours for walks and drop-in visits, allowing me to give your pup quality time and attention while youâre away. I value reliability, consistency, and making every visit a positive experience for your dog. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own three dogs. I make sure my dogs get regular exercise, playtime, attention, mental stimulation, fresh water, and a consistent routine. I also pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. When caring for your pet, Iâll follow their normal routine and your instructions closely, prioritize their safety, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while youâre away.
âAnica took such good care of our dog and cat. Even though our cat is spicy, she still went out of her way to engage with her safely! When our dog got a tick, she removed it for us instead of waiting for us to get home. She was also super flexible when our travel plans changed unexpectedly. It was such a comfort when things were chaotic, we knew Anica was taking great care of our babies. Will definitely be using her services again!â

âSherry was excellent! She hung out with my crazy corgi for a hour and they had the best time! Super responsive and sent lots of updates/pictures! Would definitely recommend booking her!â

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 !

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Oxon Hill is $33 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 15,896 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Oxon Hill. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oxon Hill. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
