“Jennifer was great with Shadow and all the updates made it alot easier to not have loads of guilt being away. I am definitely planning to booking with Jennifer again.”
“Samantha was great through out the entire trip. She kept us up to date with good photos and clear communication. I appreciated her coming over ahead of the trip to meet the dogs and to get specific questions answered.”
“Caitlin was fantastic! I wanted to meet with her prior to booking so she could meet Ben and she came twice to do that. Ben is very timid and in foster care with me to hopefully stay. Caitlin was patient with Ben and she made him comfortable! He hid the first 2 days and then just wanted her attention and love. She gave it to him. My home was just like I left it and Ben was well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend Caitlin.”
“Jessica was great with our three dogs. One of them is pretty skittish and she was patient with her, as it can be difficult to get her to come out of her crate when someone she doesn’t know well is letting her out. She was also very thorough on our meet and greet and took notes which I appreciated. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pups. They are my family and knowing you were taking such great care of them while I was away was such a relief! Thank you again!!”
“Hannah is the absolute best! She thinks my pup is just as sweet and adorable as I do. Perfect communication and questions asked for further details. I have complete trust in her. She’s really good at reading dog behavior too. I found my go-to dog sitter!”
“Jordan has become our go to for taking care of our girls. I honestly feel like they enjoy it when we leave now cause they get time w their back up human. As always, Thank you Jordan!”
“My cat Reggie loves James! When I am out of town, Reggie is no longer sad, he is excited to see his human friend! Thank you James. You have removed from my work the anxiety I had about leaving Reggie. You Rock!”
“Always have a great experience. I travel at very strange times often with about 3 hours notice. Never had an issue with response time, ability to come by or treatment of my sweet Zoe girl. Thank you!”
“Brittany is awesome. She is definitely an animal lover and our cats took to her easily. Great communication and very reliable. Would definitely have her back again.”
“Rosie was quickly responsive to my last minute request, was prompt, sent pictures, and communicated a concern that helped make her care the best for our Natty. Thank you, Rosie!”
About: Moved to California, MD area from being stationed in Japan! With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I know that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’ve raised three dogs and currently have both a poodle and a cat. My skills include puppy training, crate training, basic command training, and managing pets with medical needs, including medication administration. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs, allergies, and maintaining breed-specific grooming standards. As a passionate pet lover, I volunteered with the Red Cross animal visitation program while Active Duty & St Mary Animal Humane Society. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work part-time and live 10 minutes from my house. I always check in on my pets during lunch. My husband works nights so he is home while I’m at work and we switch. I have a fenced yard, and lots of dog friendly walking areas. I have two friendly pets who do very well with other animals. I crate my dog when I leave home for safety & use cameras to check in on them.
“Best sitter you can ask for. Shemoy would drop in for a visit to check on my babies. She’d make sure they got exercise, cleaned any messes, and sent the cutest photos on her way out. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: Taking care of domestic and exotic animals growing up was an enjoyable, it gives this heartwarming feeling. I have over 15 years of experience of taking care different pets. I am willing to go out of my way for my pets, friends, family and new clients. I helped with dogs birth, puppies care, and senior care. I have a set schedule for my dog from the time I wake up to going to bed at night. Feeding, exercise and playtime will be tracked so you know your pet is getting what they need. I will obey all rules and schedule that is given to me for the best care for your pet. Your pet is in great hands, playtime and optional bathe will be included in house sitting so you can come home to a happy and clean pet if they end up having too much fun outside.
About: I have always been around all different animals all growing up, and understand it comes with patience, and love most of all . I have always believed animals have feelings just like we do as humans ! I’m currently working park time and am available any time of the day/night except Tuesdays & Thursdays. I can come in and play , go on a walk , feed, and sit and show love . I can come into clients home, and focus entirely on the animals giving them the care they need while understanding it is not my home .
About: I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime.

I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!! When I'm taking care of pets, I follow whatever routine is given to me as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, letting dogs out to the go to the bathroom or play, and sitting with the dogs as much as I can, whether that be in the same room with them, or actively petting and playing with them. I try to be as present and caring as possible and I will follow any rules you have for your animals!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Patuxent River
Hannah is awesome and so good with our animals! They warmed up to her right away, even our super shy kitty. She is very thorough and not afraid to ask questions to make sure the animals are taken care of perfectly. She was very patient and easy going after we had some issues with getting her in the house. Will definitely be my go to sitter for my fur babies from now on.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
