About: I am a lifetime pet owner and I would love to provide quality care for your pets. Your pets will never know you are gone!! I agree that I dont have many reviews mainly because I haven't kept many pets through Rover. But those I have kept love my care. Give us a try and I promise your fur baby will be safe, happy, fed, and loved while here! I now have one 14 yo senior dog who knows he is loved. I rescued him from a shelter 13 years ago and he has been by my side ever since. He is a tri-paw, a 6 year cancer conqueror and the best boy. He welcomes new furry pals and in his old age really just prefers to say hello and then lounge all day. We do a daily walk around the neighborhood and he still looks forward to it. I took care of him when his leg was amputated 6 years ago due to cancer and when a tumor was recently removed. I feel pretty good about giving your darling meds or other medical treatments if necessary. Your furry baby will be well taken care of. I have a fenced in yard and I do walks. I have cared for younger dogs also who want to play and fetch and run. Your dog will be safe in my home and I will do my best to keep your dog on the schedule that you have.

I have cared for dogs as large as Mastiffs and as small as Yorkies. I currently own a friendly, loving, labradoodles named Beau! I'm currently a stay at home dog mama. My schedule is very flexible! I can help with walks, check ins, boarding in my home, and daycare in my home. I have 3 children ages 10,9,7 who share my love for furry friends.

“Kaitlyn is amazing! My first time booking with Rover was with Kaitlyn and she really made a great impression. She was very flexible with adding on walks, meeting with me and pup prior to my trip, and she went above and beyond helping with giving my cat her meds as well! My pets absolutely love her and I’m so grateful for her assistance while I was gone. I definitely recommend!”

“Trina has been amazing with Nugget who is NOT a fan of walking. She has been resourceful to ensure he gets the most out of his walks. She is on time, communicative and provides a thorough report after each walk.”
About: I have had fur babies my whole life! My parents have 4 dogs, including 2 crazy frenchies. I truly feel like our pets are members of our family and deserve the best care and so much love! I have pet sit for family and friends but am going on Rover to meet all different pups!! I am about to start school to get my LPN so pet sitting is more flexible for my upcoming schedule. I love working out and walking so adding a sweet pup into that routine is no problem! In my home, my pets are additional family members! They love to walk and sun-bath outside. In your home I will give them all the love and attention they deserve. Walking is so good for them so I would love to do that too. For overnight stays, just provide me a list of instructions for your fur baby and I take care of it all!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Potomac Heights. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Potomac Heights after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
