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.
“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.”

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.
About: I've cared for animals of varying breeds, shapes, and sizes since I was a young girl. As an aspiring veterinarian, I've made staying informed and attentive to animal's needs my top priority. In my time taking care of other's pets, I've conduced overnight stays, routine check-ins, walking & enrichment activities, mild grooming, as well as medication administration. I keep detailed logs of the eating, drinking, and energy levels of the pets I watch and communicate regularly with the owners. This way, I can ensure that your loved ones are receiving the attention they need to thrive in your time apart. I have a pure, genuine love for animals, and I look forward to meeting your pet! I currently work as a Veterinary Nurse at a clinic with 3 days off a week. With proper notice, I am comfortable rearranging my schedule to meet the needs of your pet. I have open availability on Wednesdays and weekends as well. I make sure to thoroughly read and notate any instructions left by the owners. I understand that allowing someone into your home is a huge act of trust, and I make it a point to remain considerate, respectful, and tidy as I operate around the house. I understand that being around new company can be stressful for some animals, so I make sure to slowly build a bond that allows your pet to trust me.
“Grace was amazing! Our kitty loved her so much while we were on vacation that I asked Grace to drop in 5 times instead of the original 3. I’m so glad that we booked with Grace, and I will continue to use her in the future!”
“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”
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.

“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!!”
“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 !”
About: I have helped my mom care for our house animals (dogs, cats, etc.), but I stepped in and took responsibility when we adopted our boy Kato. He is a six 1/2-year-old Staffordshire Pittie with all the skin problems bully breeds come with. I have aided in feeding, walking, and giving him his medicine at appropriate times. I am employed part-time, so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your furry babies. I also have my means of transportation, so getting to them will be no problem. I do not intend to use my home to watch your dogs because my pitty was not properly socialized as a puppy; however, I can adapt to any of your pet's routines or needs in your home.
“I reached out to Quiana in the late evening on Su day night hoping to arrange care for my pup on Tuesday morning. Quiana responded promptly, and though I had a morning full of meetings, and I was scheduled to travel on Monday afternoon, Quiana suggested and made herself available for a meet and greet early Monday morning. Aksel loved her immediately, showed his ball off to her and even tried sharing it with her (unheard of with strangers). Aksel has separation anxiety and usually has a pretty hard time when I travel. After seeing Quiana for 2 mornings in a row (meet & greet included), Aksel woke up on fhe 3rd day anticipating her arrival. He pickup up his stuffy and stood at the door waiting. Needless to say, seeing that instantly made my heart smile. He has a long top knot and shook out his ponytail, she took time to find something to his hair back before leaving When it's wet outside, she attempts to at least dry his feet, even though he's more interested in playing tug of war with the towel. She's my favourite person of the month and is definitely going to be a part of Aksel's village moving forward.”
“First time puppy owner and Rover user and I highly recommend Melissa. I unexpectedly had to work out of my DC office which means we had to travel to town and I had to leave my 14wk puppy crated for much of the day for the first time. He's not fully vaccinated yet so he can't even go for a walk and I needed someone for multiple times a day. Also, he's a handful. I was SO worried! Melissa was AWESOME and from the meet and greet just put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with photos that let me relax and focus on my job knowing he was in good hands. I saw he went to the bathroom, ate and drank and got out his puppy zippies - a productive half hour I aspire to! She even got him to #2 on the puppy pad, which is still a challenge for him! Next time I'm in need of a walker or a sitter in DC, she's at the top of my list. Thanks again, Melissa!”
“Nicollette was attentive, sweet with our dog, and provided us timely updates after her visits. We definitely will be asking for Nicollette’s assistance in the future!”
About: I'm currently working as a canine coach and know all about taking care of dogs and bathing them, cutting nails,etc.I also know the signs of seizures and how to time them and what to do in situations like that. I'm currently a canine coach and my days off are Tuesday all day, Thursdays all day and Saturday afternoons. Sometimes I'm available friday mornings if needed. I live in an apartment and have a small yorkie but my apartment complex has a dog park thats perfect for all breeds. If it's at the clients home I'll make sure doors are closed so they'll be safe and won't escape. On walks i'll make sure they are safe on their daily walks and have them prepare for any type of weather if they need their raincoats or snow boots or their heat protecting shoes and attire, etc.

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Oxon Hill. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
