About: Since childhood, I've embraced the role of caretaker for our family pets, a responsibility I continue to fulfill with joy and dedication to this day. Growing up surrounded by animals instilled in me a deep appreciation for their companionship and well-being. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply providing love and attention, I find immense fulfillment in tending to their needs. Being in the presence of animals brings me genuine happiness, and I cherish every moment spent with them Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine is second nature to me. I allocate time each morning and evening for feeding, walking, and ensuring they receive the attention and care they need to thrive. Beyond the essentials, I make it a point to spend quality time bonding with my pets, whether it's relaxing together at home or exploring the outdoors. Pet care isn't just a task for me, it's a rewarding part of my lifestyle that brings me joy and fulfillment As a pet sitter, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pets in my care, whether in my own home or at the client's residence. In my home, I ensure that the space is pet-friendly, with designated areas for eating, sleeping, and playing. I maintain a consistent schedule for feeding, walking, and potty breaks, tailored to each pet's individual needs. Regular exercise and enrichment activities are integrated into their daily routine to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their familiar surroundings and routines to minimize stress and ensure their comfort. I follow the owner's instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, dietary restrictions, medication administration, and any other specific care requirements. I provide companionship and affection, spending quality time with the pets through play, cuddling, and interactive activities. Additionally, I keep the home tidy by cleaning up after the pets and adhering to any house rules set by the owner.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2000 and cats since I was 8. From kitten, puppies to senior dogs and cats, I love them all. I will care for your pet like they were my own. I currently work from home everyday. I can walk dogs before work, pet sit all day, or watch them in the evening or overnight. I am available for long stays as well. I have no pets at this time so your pet can be comfortable and roam around freely. I can feed, play with and give lots of attention.

“Anum quickly became loved by our 4 dogs and 2 cats. She easily remembered all the details of their feeding and schedule. She fed the entire crew and kept them all happy during a long Easter Weekend. Our emotionally needy GSP and barky Aussie became good friends with Anum. Even our very shy dog came out of her shell !”

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since he was a puppy & he’s now 7. I begged my parents for him for 18 years and he’s my soul dog. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and I even have experience with senior dogs. I love pets because they are a reminder of unconditional love. I work full time but am typically available in the evenings after 4pm M-F. I have occasional work events during the week sometimes but I am always available on weekends. I prefer doing a meet and greet before accepting to sit to make sure all parties feel comfortable, especially the furry party. I’m comfortable administering medicine and crating your dog if that’s required. Ultimately my goal is to treat your dog as if I’d treat my own.

“Our first time with Christina and using Rover and felt very reassured with the care we received. It was our first time having home visits to check on Charley. I loved the way Rover notifies you that the visits are occurring, what happened during visit and loved the photos you get as well. We will definitely use Christina again as well as River.”

About: Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 4-13 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained Otis from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs! Other than taking care of the house and kids, taking care of dogs is my only other job, so your pup will get plenty of needed attention and have lots of fun with us!!! We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. We have a large area for dogs to sleep overnight comfortably either on a dog bed or crate, whichever is preferred.

About: With 13+ years of hands-on dog care, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a proud owner of an XL doodle and a dachshund, I understand that every dog has unique needs. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely passionate about making every pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine love I bring to every dog, treating them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working part time as a marketing assistant. I work in the office from 9am to 4:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays! With a car and living close by to work it’s easy for me to do quick drop ins and walks for local pup owners! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether caring for your dog in my home or in yours, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, pay close attention to their needs and behavior, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, care, and love I give my own dogs.

About: Hi, I’m Kiana! 🐶💛 I’m a dedicated pet lover who genuinely enjoys caring for dogs and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow their individual routines, dietary needs, and any special quirks that make them unique. I’m a personal trainer and Pilates instructor with a flexible schedule, which allows me to check in on dogs throughout the day during breaks and spend quality time with them between my sessions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member with someone you trust. I’ll follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe, and right at home while you’re gone. I’d love to connect and learn more about your pup! 💛 I’m usually up early for the gym, so I’m comfortable with early-morning walks and care. I’m also available on weekends, when I enjoy taking long nature walks and would be happy to bring your dog along if they enjoy outdoor adventures. I live in a very spacious apartment with a balcony. I do not have any kids, so my environment is dog friendly! I am typically always home, so extra care and safety will be provided for your furry baby. I am now accepting only one dog at a time so that I may provide the best experience for your Furry Babby 🐾🐾🐾

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pups of all personalities. I grew up with dogs and regularly care for friends’ and family members’ pets. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications when needed. I currently share a very energetic 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier with my roommate, so I’m no stranger to zoomies, walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles! I’ll treat your pup like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. 🐶💕 I have a flexible schedule that makes pet care easy to fit into my week! I’m off work every Friday, so I’m available for dog walks essentially any time that day. I’m also off on weekends, making me available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. For longer-term or extended stays, I would need a week or two of advance notice so I can plan around my weekend schedule. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for both you and your pet! 🐶🐱💕 I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me or in their own home. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention and affection. For in-home visits, I’m happy to care for pets in the comfort of their own environment and make sure they get the same love and attention they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! 🐾💕

About: 🐾 Professional Dog Dad. Part-Time Treat Dealer. Full-Time Dog Lover. 🐾 Proud dog dad to Luna, my Husky, and Pablo, my Goldendoodle—which means my daily life already includes zoomies, dramatic sighs, endless sniff breaks, surprise tug-of-war matches, and pretending I don’t notice when someone is begging for a second treat. 😂 I love dogs of every size, breed, and personality. Got a high-energy pup who wants to conquer the neighborhood? I’m ready. A professional sniffer who needs to investigate every mailbox and blade of grass? We’ve got time. A certified couch potato who just wants some company and belly rubs? Say no more. 🐶 I know how much trust it takes to put your fur baby in someone else’s care, so I’ll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and attention I give Luna and Pablo. My promise: happy pups, tired paws, plenty of pictures, and at least one conversation where I talk to your dog like they understand every word. ❤️🐾 I currently work from home/remotely,so it allows me to be mobile. And schedule playtime and walking throughout the day. I made be gone up to an hour for client visits. I do not board in my own home.I care for pets by working in an area that I can keep an eye on them and can give them belly rubs on some breaks. I usually take standard lunch breaks and am able to walk/play and address any needs for your pet.

I always send daily updates of your pets and take the time to make sure your pet is happy while you are away. I treat others pets as my own and make sure they have the upmost health while they are in my care. I also have experience with administering medications topically, orally, and injections.

About: I have gained valuable experience in pet care through years of looking after various animals, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. My responsibilities have included feeding, grooming, administering medications, and ensuring they receive regular exercise. I work from home which allows me to provide personalized care for your pet, ensuring they receive the attention and support they need throughout the day Caring for pets in my home or your home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s needs. Here is how I approach it: Feeding and Hydration Provide fresh water at all times. Follow the pet’s specific feeding schedule and portion sizes. Ensure dietary needs or restrictions are strictly observed. Walk dogs according to their energy levels and usual routines. Engage in playtime activities, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive toys. Provide enrichment for cats with climbing spaces, toys, and interactive play. Administer medications as instructed by the owner or vet. Monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition. Keep a record of any health updates or concerns. Maintain a clean environment, ensuring litter boxes and bedding are fresh. Pet-proof the area to prevent access to harmful substances or hazards. Offer a safe space for the pet to rest and feel secure. Provide owners with photos, videos, and updates to give them peace of mind. Discuss any concerns or observations promptly. By following these practices, I ensure pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for whether they are in my home or their own familiar environment.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Poolesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Poolesville is $33 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 pet’s 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 October 2026, there are 14,962 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Poolesville. 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 pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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 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 .

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 , 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 Poolesville. On Rover:

  • 85% 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter’s 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, you’ll 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.
