About: Growing up with five dogs has given me years of hands-on experience caring for pets of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and following each dog’s routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. Family and friends know me as someone who’s patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoys being around animals. I understand that every dog is different, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care, attention, and love I’d give my own. I have a flexible schedule and do my best to accommodate each pet owner’s needs. Whether your dog needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll communicate clearly and arrive on time. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I’m committed to providing dependable care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), and daily routines. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure during every visit, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own family.
About: We are Karina and Letícia, two friends who share a deep passion for animals and have turned it into a mission to provide the best care for your pets. Together, we offer personalized Dog Walking, Pet Sitting, Boarding, and Daycare services, ensuring your furry friends receive all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Our large backyard is fully fenced, providing a safe and secure space exclusively for dogs. Here, they can enjoy nature, run, play freely, burn off energy, and socialize with other dogs in a supervised and stress-free environment. We also welcome cats and can keep them separated if needed, as we have a dedicated room equipped with scratching posts where they can bask in the sunlight. While cats are free to explore the entire house, they also have access to a special playground designed to keep them entertained and happy. This setup ensures the safety and comfort of both dogs and cats, offering them a loving, cage-free environment with constant care and attention. Karina works from home as a groomer and occasionally needs to go out for dog walks. Leticia also has a flexible work schedule and is home most of the time. In the rare case that we both need to be away at the same time, it will be for a maximum of 3 to 4 hours. The dogs staying with us, have free access to the entire house but also have a designated space where they can play peacefully. With appropriate toys available at all times, they can have fun while feeling at home. Additionally, we have a fenced yard where they can run, play, and burn off energy, making new friends and enjoying a safe and welcoming environment.
“Nicollette was absolutely wonderful! She was so gracious when there was a mix up about my address, and had such a positive attitude about everything. I was so nervous about leaving Juniper with someone for an extended period of time (she was only about 3-4 months old!) but after Nicollette’s first visit with her, I felt completely comfortable. She took Juniper on walks, played with her, and I could tell how much Juniper liked her. I also really appreciated the updates Nicollette would send during her visits. I’ll definitely be booking with Nicollette again!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life and have been deeply invested in the care of all dogs I’ve owned. Ever since I got my first dog at just 3 years old I knew what it meant to truly care and connect with another animal. While I don’t currently care for dogs professionally I would love to open a rescue shelter one day. Most of my experience is with medium to large dogs and I currently care for my senior Akita mix named Prince. Our pets are our children and I ensure to care for yours as I would, and do, my own. Long or short walks, playing at the park or just chilling at home I’m up for it all and your pet will be in safe hands. I work remotely allowing for me to have a flexible schedule for dog walking, pet sitting, and check ins. I don’t currently have accommodations for more than one dog at my home but am easily able to travel to meet your needs. I come Prepared with poop bags, organic treats, and small toys. I work remotely, making my schedule more flexible during the weekdays for sit-ins, pet sitting, and dog walking. I am also available most weekends for any needed care. Since I am currently caring for my senior dog Prince, the area I live in is equipped for the needs of all dogs. There are two large grassy areas to explore as well as a park just 2 miles away. I carry poop bags with me so I can easily clean up after your pet and keep our community clean. Additionally I am attentive and watchful over all pets in my care.
“Noah was great and an angel for being able to accommodate on short notice ! He followed instructions we gave and sent updates with pictures of what they were doing and on their walks . Came home to some happy boys ! Will keep Noah in mind for future drop in visits !”
“Heather has been so helpful coming in to check on the dogs while my husband and I work a busy schedule! She is so thoughtful and caring with the dogs! We are so grateful for her help!!”
“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: As a pet owner myself, of an energetic poodle, I understand the importance of maintaining open communication while your pet is in the care of another person. I work 100% remotely, which allows me the flexibility to cuddle, play, and care for your pet. I have a set schedule for walks but can also accommodate as needed. Pets are not allowed in my bedroom or bathroom in my home but are welcome to the rest of the home. They’ll also have their own room to safely sleep, play or relax.
“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: Hi! I’m Gianna, and I have over 5 years of experience in pet care as a veterinary technician, working closely with both dogs and cats. I’m skilled in administering vaccines and medications, monitoring pets’ health, and providing client education to ensure pets thrive. I also have my own dog, so I understand firsthand the love and care our furry friends need. I’d love to help keep your pets happy, safe, and well-cared-for! I currently serve in the United States Army National Guard, and I have pretty much open availability outside of my drills one weekend a month. I'm willing to travel up to 50 miles outside of Oxon Hill, MD and I’m happy to accommodate walks, visits, and care whenever your pets need me! When I care for your pet in your home, I’ll treat them like my own. I provide love, attention, and supervision while following your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, giving medication, or playtime. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident your furry friend is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Ayesha took great care of our dog Chloe. Chloe was not eating much while we were out of town so she made Chloe a special meal that Chloe really enjoyed. The communication while we were gone was excellent. I felt very comfortable and I would definitely recommend Ayesha to anyone that needs care for your dog while on travel....Thanks for everything Ayesha”

Melissa took such great care of my cats during her drop in visits while I was on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and videos and even spent more time with them than required. You can tell she really loves what she does. I highly recommend her and will return to her in the future!
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.
Cassandra is an absolutely fantastic sitter. She is proactive, detail oriented, and reliable. We were gone for a week and have two very spoiled cats. I left a long list of things I wanted her to do for us, including giving one of our cats his inhaler every day, and mixing in supplements into food, along with lots of preferences to keep their routine as normal as possible. Cassandra not only followed everything we requested, but went above and beyond. She gave us detailed reports about how the cats were doing and photos every day for us. We do not leave our cats alone often and I was so happy to have someone that I knew was exceedingly capable of caring for them. We had a few issues with another sitter that was also booked for another time of day while we were away on the same trip, and I think I would've lost my mind if Cassandra wasn't around. She gave me peace of mind that she was handling any potential problems, even if she wasn't the one that caused them. Thank you again for all of your efforts and keeping Spooky and Jinx happy and healthy while we were away!
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 !

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.
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 .
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.

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 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.
