About: I’ve worked at a pet hotel for 3 years now and absolutely love it! I also have many years of experience doing pet sitting in others homes. I also am a volunteer at my local animal shelter and walk and take out dogs for the day multiple times a week. Currently I have a part time job, so before and after work your pet will be my first priority. I am used to very early mornings, so waking up for your furry friend is not a problem. I have no dogs or cats a home any longer, so the house is safe as can be. I also have a fenced in backyard for those looking for safety and a place for your pupper to run around.
About: I have had several dogs but do not currently have any pets. I have had to give medicine to dogs and lots of experience with puppy “accidents”. I’m a teacher, so during summer and breaks I have lots of free time. I have two boys, both of whom love animals. They would love to have a pet visit our home. I can only house-sit when I don’t have my children with me, but can board an animal anytime. Important to note that during the school year my Friday availability is evening only. I have a fenced yard. At my home, I can almost guarantee your dog or cat would get to sleep in a child’s bed and be loved like family. At your home, I would respect any rules you have set.
About: I have experience raising and training multiple dogs of my own and am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. As a reliable and punctual caregiver, I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m currently a college student home for the summer so I have full availability during weekends and weekdays and I can accommodate various scheduling needs! When caring for your dog in your home, I follow their normal routine to help them feel as comfortable and secure with someone new. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention while ensuring your pet stays safe and well cared for.
“Marti was truly outstanding with our pup! From the very first visit, she was thoughtful, attentive, and incredibly communicative. She made sure he was well cared for through multiple walks each day—even working around storms and hot weather to make sure he was comfortable and safe. She gave us regular, detailed updates, complete with sweet observations about his mood, habits, and how he was doing while we were away. Our dog can be a bit particular, but Marti clearly understood him and made sure he got just the right balance of activity, affection, and quiet time. She even noticed when he was a little more anxious and made sure to help him walk it off and settle with his favorite kong. We came home to a happy pup, and we felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We'd absolutely recommend Marti to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and communicative caregiver. She's the best!”
“Alexis was so great with my shy cats!! She was super communicative and sent lots of great pictures and it was obvious she cared and spent time to make sure they felt comfy and happy. I would have her watch my cats again for sure!”
About: I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats because they truly bring joy to each day. I’m flexible, communicative, patient and caring, and I’ll always make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ve spent several years caring for my family’s dogs and cats, as well as pets of my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them and giving them the care and attention they need. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a calm companion, or regular check-ins, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for and well looked after. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you always know how your pet is doing. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I currently have a full-time job but have time for pet care on my days off or before/after work. I enjoy going on nature walks with my sister’s dogs. I visit my sister often and always enjoy seeing and walking her two shih tzu’s. They always make my days brighter and lift my mood. Whenever she is out of town, I stay at her house to dog sit. I enjoy taking them on walks around the neighborhood, make sure to keep them company and play with them.
“We discovered Marianne at the last minute right before a holiday trip. She was responsive, prompt, and communicative throughout. Each drop-in was well documented. Excellent experience. We will definitely rebook!”
“Great loving family, love working with them and highly recommend! We needed someone to walk our foster dog, Natalie and her husband came to the rescue ! She’s now all ready for a loving home.”
“I had to travel into town with my dog and it was going to be long work days. I was relieved to find Rachael and meet her — knowing my dog would be well cared for! Highly recommended her to others!”
About: I have been a dog and cat sitting going on 5 years now. With 5 consistent families I catsit and dogsit for I make it my mission to make the babies and their parents feel safe, comfortable, and confident having me care for their loved one and in their home. I have my own kitty at home and have history with caring for both cats and dogs. I provide services walking and pet sitting. I am currently self employed so my days are very flexible. When I am working it is either at my store from 8-3 or at home. When pet sitting I adjust my schedule to your pet’s eating and bathroom schedule to assure that when they are with me that they are top priority. When I am pet sitting in a client’s home, I want their fur baby to feel familiar, comfortable, and safe in their own home. I always like to know their favorite hiding spots, favorite toys, and personality characteristics to assure I can make them feel safe and sound while their owner is away. Once my stay is over I always assure to leave everything better than I found it - taking out the trash, washing dishes, washing towels, sweeping, etc. to assure the owner comes home to a clean and tidy space so they can focus on relaxing with their pet when they come home :)!
“Lesley is great! Didn’t have any worries while being out of town. Kitties were well cared for and I got a picture every day. So happy with her level of service. Thank you! Highly recommend.”
“Lindsey did a great job, taking care of our dog and cats! We contacted her on short notice and she came and did a meet and greet and understood what we needed done. When we arrived home we had a happy pup, who had received his meditations, and cats who didn’t care that we left or came home.😂”
“Carleigh stopped in to check on my cats for a week while we were out of town. She was very calm and let the cats come to her during the meet and greet and they were quick to get comfortable with her which was such a relief as cat parents. She sent daily report cards and was super responsive. We’ll definitely use her again next time we’re out of town!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my family’s dog since I was 10 years old and have helped out with friends and neighbors dogs! I currently own a black lab so I am comfortable with medium to larger sized dogs. I am currently working part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of time to take care of your pets! I am available most week days after 2 PM! As an owner of a black lab I am patient with all animals and will make sure they feel comfortable and are safe while they are in my care

“Chelsea was dependable and took great care of or two cats and a canary. We felt completely conformed having her come into our home each day while we were away for a week. It was peace of mind knowing they were week taken care of. She sent a picture every day too!”

First time using Rover, and Olga was amazing! Frequently kept me updated on Coopers status, including plenty of pics. Had the schedule this last minute and on Thanksgiving Day, and Olga was more than happy to help. Will definitely use her again in the future, and highly recommend.

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 Potomac Falls 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Potomac Falls choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Potomac Falls with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
