“Absolutely amazing! So happy to have found Mary, one week before my trip to FL. She gave our two dogs so much love and attention over four days. She will be the first person we reach out to whenever we are looking for someone to walk our dogs in the future. I’d highly recommend her!”
“Ligia treated our pup like her own while we were away for the day! Her drop-in visit to our home was seamless, she was flexible and wanted to make sure she followed Scout's schedule - asked a ton of great questions to make that schedule possible! She was timely in answering my messages - will definitely book again! Highly recommend.”
“Jessica put my mind at ease that breezy was okay while I was away. She kept me updated and let me video one day too! She was amazing and I will be booking her again in the near future! Breezy thanks you Jessica— and so do we!!!”
“Collette takes great car of my two pups! She even took care of our neighborhood turtle in the backyard and helped build a makeshift fence when my dogs got out of their babygate ❤️. Thank you Collette!”
“Juliann was really great. Very meticulous in asking all the right questions and extremely thoughtful about my two cats. I will also add that if anything came up she always communicated with me in order to assure my fur babies were comfortable. Additionally one of my cats who usually doesn’t like strangers loved her. She took amazing care of both of my cats”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have about 5 years of experience caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, giving pets attention, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while they’re in my hands. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have school Mondays and Wednesdays from 9–4, but I’m available after school on those days. Outside of school, I’m very flexible and open with my schedule, so I can work with your pet’s needs and routine. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have a 7-year-old Springer Spaniel of my own, and I try to walk her every day, so I’m very comfortable with daily walks and keeping a consistent routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality, and I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines. I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own and keep their home clean and respectful while I’m there.
About: I’ve been working with pets ever since I was 12 walking them feeding them and taking care of them. I love taking care of pets no matter if it’s cats or dogs I love them all. I am currently working part-time and also a part-time student but I love being outside and going on walks with dogs and taking care of cats just by stopping. I have a pretty decent backyard that is fully gated off and I have two amazing and playful dogs yo-yo and Scooby. They are the cutest dogs ever and another small little furball named Cleo and she is just so adorable.
About: Whether you have a chaotic 4-month-old golden retriever or a 14-year-old tabby who just wants to nap in a sunbeam, I adapt my energy to meet them exactly where they are. I know how nerve-wracking it is to leave your pets. You’ll receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit so you can see exactly how much fun they’re having. Since I am currently building my dedicated client base, your pet will never be "just another stop" on a long list. They get my undivided attention, energy, and affection. I currently work from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available weekdays as well as weekends. We have a fenced area in our yard, and a safe neighborhood for walks. Additionally, we have a dog and two cats to keep your pet company.
“Paula was amazing with our animals and her communication was excellent. It’s obvious she’s very comfortable with pet care, easing my mind so I could enjoy my vacation. We will definitely use her for future pet sitting!”
“We love Samantha! My husband and I work a lot so we usually end up booking Samantha 3-5 times per month. Our dogs (and cats) love her and I never worry about their well being when I know she’s coming over. She’s very flexible with scheduling which is amazing when I need her last minute (usually the case). The check ins are a huge plus!”
“Jennifer was really great with our three cats. She came twice a day for two weeks. She fed them, played with them, emptied their litter boxes and even watered my indoor plants. We will definitely be sticking with Jennifer. Worth every penny.”
About: Always had a pet growing up! My last dog Cody lived to be 18 years young!

Your pets needs is my #1 priority! I maintain a clean, safe pet friendly home. I do have a fenced backward if needed, but I enjoy going on walks in the neighborhood or play in the yard. I can add a bath to the visit or I can brush them. I try my best to keep everyone happy! 😊 Can’t wait me meet all my new furbaby friends!
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have always had them in my life! From taking care of my sister from puppyhood to her golden years to raising doggy fur kiddo’s of my very own, I take pride and honor in respecting each and every dog I meet! I walk my own pug and pomsky 4 times a day, as well as take them to our backyard dog park that’s incredible for play! Both of my own pups are fully vaccinated, well socialized, and are very excited to meet new friends! I am a college student full time with online classes but have a ton of time to pour into animal care and outside time! I cannot wait to see where this adventure goes! I’m a full time college student but my girls are already a big part of my schedule! This semester I have all online courses so am very flexible Aside from outright walking the neighborhood, I have a fully fenced dog park directly behind my house that has a one group policy! Meaning if I’m at the park there is a wait for others vice versa! Our neighborhood is a lovely daily walk as well with many doggy bag stations!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Potomac
Mary was absolutely amazing with my cat Harley! She took such great care of her and went above and beyond to make sure Harley was comfortable and happy while we were away. She was very attentive, caring, and kept me updated and sent a lot of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even offered to go back to the house one extra time completely free of charge just to check on Harley, which was so incredibly thoughtful. I would 100% recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter, and I would definitely have her watch Harley again! 🐱💕
This person is a straight up warrior. She fought off mosquitoes. And rabid raccoons with no fear. She ran towards the danger while her charges (dogs) ran for the safety of the house. She was highly reliable, and very responsive to every visit. If you don’t just want a dog sitter but a champion of the fur kingdom this person is the one you hire.
I am so grateful tonight. I was in a car accident on the way home. I asked Collette if she could do a second visit as I knew I would be late getting home after the accident. Without hesitation, she shifted her schedule around and helped me out. Collette, thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
