“Mrs. Gloria is fantastic! She checked in all the time. She cared for my girl like she was her own. She was very thoughtful, caring, and did an amazing job. Her pictures were wonderful. Thank you so much!”
About: I have taken care of my own dog since I was young, and since her passing I have routinely dogsit for friends and family. My childhood right-paw-man was a Beagle mix, and so I love to handle hounds who sniff first & think later (as well as distract them with Pupperoni…). I took care of her in her old age, so I have some experience in dropping medicine on the floor and pretending it’s a delectable morsel so dogs devour it! I also have handled plenty of bark-happy dogs, and like to bring treats on all my walks to incentivize more calmer adventures. I am currently in a partly asynchronous grad school program, and I’d love to spend my very flexible time taking healthy (and frequent) breaks from studying to care for your pet! I’m excited to adapt to fur-parents’ homes and needs! I’m comfortable crating pets, supervising outdoor time in fenced yards, and being attentive to your pets’ body language while inside their home.
“Samantha was amazing, very friendly and reliable. Check ins were on time, and communication was great. Ollie was taken great care of, would absolutely use her in the future.”
About: I currently live in Poolesville MD in a townhouse with a fenced yard and am available for all types of dog and cat care! I grew up with multiple dogs and a cat so I have plenty of experience with pet care. I've been doing Rover for many years and have gotten great feedback from all customers. I work from home Mon-Fri so I am always available for last minute requests. If you trust me to care for your pet, I'll love them as much as my own! I currently work a full time job from home (8AM-4PM) on Mon-Fri. I'm available around the clock to provide your pet the best care possible and make them feel at home. While your dog is with me, I'll treat them like my own so they’ll be allowed on couches, beds, and anywhere they feel comfortable. I also have tons and tons of toys to share!
“Rene is absolutely fantastic. She was always prompt, diligent and so caring for our cat. This was our first time leaving Milo. Rene immediately put us at ease. She communicated constantly. She came prior to the scheduled visits to meet Milo, who loved Rene instantly. During the visits, Rene sent us pictures of Milo. She did “all the things” (litterbox, food, water etc), probably more carefully than we do at home haha. Rene even brushed Milo, which was above and beyond. We are so happy Rene took care of our pet. We can’t say enough good things about Rene.”
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 dog 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.
“Riley gave me lots of peace of mind that Bun was being taken care of, looked after, and getting the attention she loves. She left a little summary on the rover card of what she did and how Bun was, and included a few photos for each drop in so I could see that Bun was doing well. I would definitely recommend booking Riley!”
“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 !”
“Sheila was wonderful! She left detailed notes that reassured me that my pups were doing well and took the time to bring my shy dog out of her shell. I will definitely request her services again next time!”
“Susan was great! I felt safe with her taking care of my cat while I was away overseas. She was communicative the entire time, very responsive, left me daily notes on time, and my cat seemed to have had a great time with her. Would book again :)”
About: Since I can remember I’ve always had a love for animals; especially dogs. Since I was not able to have a pet of my own, I would dog sit for family, friends, and neighbors! I have three and a half years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. From 90 pound pitbulls to 5 pound chihuahuas. If you chose me as your dog sitter I guarantee he or she will get an immense amount of love and attention under my care. If you have any questions about my qualifications or just want to learn more about me please don’t hesitate to ask (: I hope you’ll chose me and allow me to take care of your pet. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
“We are so grateful for Sondra’s care of our pup! She came over for a drop in visit on a day that we were going to be gone for a long day trip and took care of everything as discussed. I really appreciated the photos and updates she sent after the visit! She communicated everything very clearly before and after the visit and made the whole process so easy. Thank you Sondra! Willow can’t wait to see you again soon :)”
About: Father-and-son team: We will be happy to take care of your dog/dogs. We have a lot of experience doing so, as we have our own dog and often sit for our friends.

About: I am a huuuugee animal fan. I love fur-babies of all sizes and temperaments. I can accommodate almost any sort of schedule and type of boarding; I am pretty flexible. I do everything possible with my baby girl, Rue - a golden doodle of my own whose biggest flaw is that she wants to be everyone's friend, including the cats she grew up with (so I’m sure she'll get along with your pup or cat just great). I have spent some time working in a vet hospital and in a wildlife rescue as well as personal sitting gigs for friends and family - you can trust my care with your pup! I have a condo that can accommodate dogs of all sizes AND everything is doggy-proof. My complex has a very large grassy courtyard and a lake trail less than half a mile away. I am a fairly active individual and will have no problem getting your pup out and playing outdoors or long trail adventures if that’s what they need! I currently work from home and the schedule is flexible - so I am available throughout the day. For visits/walks only, I can accommodate she what your pup needs depending on the drive to get there. 7 days a week In previous pet care jobs, I’ve usually stayed overnight with the pups. I can spend time with them, enriching them with play time or training. I have never had a cause for a health or safety concern in the 6 years I have pet sit and I plan on keeping that intact. My experience in a vet office gives me the knowledge or medication administration if needed, what a true emergency may look like, and how to triage an emergency if one should arise.
About: I love animals very much. I can always establish a good interactive relationship with pets and help them adapt to the new environment quickly. By observing and perceiving their needs, I can provide timely help and let them spend a relaxing and happy time. I have also taken care of many older dogs and know how to feed them medicine and care for them. I work from home so I am able to take care of the pet throughout the day, I take dog for walks in the morning and evening and take him out to play in the backyard every two to three hours. I have a fenced backyard and I have a six year old very well behaved and friendly little dachshund at home to play with your dog. Because I take care of my own dog every day and have taken care of different kinds of dogs, so I can take good care of your dog too.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Poolesville on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Poolesville 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 Poolesville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
