“Jodie was amazing with my little buddy!! She took care of him perfectly and kindly, was super respectful of the home, and took lots of darling pictures! I will absolutely hire her again when I go out of town. She was an excellent pet sitter!”


“Got along great with my girls! Sarah is kind, punctual, and very much an animal lover. Will definitely be using her again. Thank you for taking care of my babies!!”

“Dawn is absolutely wonderful! Taking care of three dogs is no small task, but they managed it with ease, kindness, and genuine love. Each of my dogs got the attention and care they needed, and I could tell they felt comfortable and happy the whole time. The updates and photos were such a comfort while I was away. It’s clear that Dawn treats pets like family—reliable, trustworthy, and truly amazing with animals.”

“Hannah & Blake took such great care of my kitty gang while I was out of town for work. They were very timely, checked in with any questions, and gave me peace of mind. Will definitely be booking again!”


About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs from years of dog sitting for families in my neighborhood during the summers. Those experiences taught me how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I'm naturally patient, dependable, and attentive, and I enjoy helping others whenever I can. I also love being outdoors, so long walks, playtime, and plenty of fresh air are never a problem for me. I'll treat your pup like family and make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I have open availability on weekdays and am looking to be as available for your pups as possible! My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate a variety of walking and drop-in needs, and I'm happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their routine. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and play, and I live in a welcoming cul-de-sac that's very dog-friendly. When caring for pets in their own homes, I'm experienced with checking on crates, dog beds, food and water, and making sure backyard areas are secure and safe for playtime and potty breaks.
“Layn is a true professional and a lover of animals. We felt very comfortable with him and he gave us peace of mind. He is very reliable and dependable. We would for sure use Layn again!”

About: I have been pet sitting dogs, cats, hamsters, and more since I was in high school. I love playing with animals and making them feel loved while their people are away! As a teacher on summer break, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I love to be outside throwing the ball or going for a walk. Routine is very important, and I will stick to your pet’s schedule. I’ll be very respectful of your home and clean up after your pets.

About: I have been dedicated to caregiving and animal wellness for as long as I can remember. As a recent graduate with a deep background in the biological sciences, I bring an exceptional level of attentiveness, structure, and understanding to looking after your pets. I am entirely comfortable around dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I pride myself on my ability to quickly adapt to their specific routines and behavioral needs. When your animal is under my care, my primary focus is maintaining their physical wellness and happiness—whether that means high-energy runs, structured walks, or engaging playtime. I love keeping them active and, if permitted, taking them to local parks for excellent socialization and mental stimulation while you are away! I am a recent graduate, earning my B.S. which means that my time is completely flexible! While staying in your home, my goal is to maintain absolute continuity for your pets. I will meticulously follow their established schedules for walks, feeding, and outdoor time, ensuring they feel completely safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. Services Offered: 30-Minute Dog Walks: A structured, high-quality stroll around your neighborhood or local trails to provide your dog with excellent physical exercise, fresh air, and crucial mental stimulation. 30-Minute Drop-Ins: Focused visits encompassing timely feeding, backyard potty breaks, structured playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention to keep your pet happy and thriving while you are out.
“10/10, definitely recommend Miranda! She is kind, updates frequently during the visit, treats your dog as her own and is loving and caring to fur babies! The best and cutest photos! Would book her again! Thank you again for being so sweet to my boy, spoiling him with treats/attention and taking good care of him. ❤️”

“Bonnie did a wonderful job of taking care of my kitties for the first time and on super short notice. My kitties took to her immediately. Everyday she sent pictures and I really appreciated that. I would highly recommend Bonnie.”

“Jennifer was my first sitter I have used with Rover and I am sold! I really felt like my cat, Goose, was safe in her hands. We used the drop-in visits once a day while we were gone for 4 days, and she sent me pictures and updates that helped me miss him less, but also let me know he was being well taken care of and I had nothing to worry about! She met with us before hand to go over routine and to meet the chunky boi, and we loved her from the start! I definitely recommend Jennifer!”

“Lindsey did an awesome job taking care of our cat for the past 3 weeks with drop in visits. She took good care of raja and our home. Our cat is very cautious of people but he took to Lindsay really well, she followed our pet sitting requests/instructions to the “T”. I definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friend’s dogs for many years, and I have plenty of experience caring for pets with 3 dogs of my own. I would love spending the free time during my days caring for and playing with pets. I am free mostly all weekends and nights during the weeks. I will care for pets based on the client’s personal preferences by respecting the pet rules of their home. I love just spending time with animals and would love taking them out for walks!
Rock Creek pet parents share their Rover experiences
Anne is the best. She is kind, caring and very communicative. During our last booking our pet became sick and had to be taken to the vet emergently. Anne recognized our pet was not feeling well, communicated instantly and took him to the vet. We really appreciate her and recommend her to everyone!

This was my first experience with Rover and I could not have asked for a better experience! Meg is absolutely amazing - very professional, always on time, and my baby girl loves her. We've looked forward to Meg's visits over the past week and will definitely use Rover in the future. Many thanks to Meg!!
Kelsey W. has cared for my two cats, one of whom has severe anxiety, and I truly could not ask for a better pet sitter. From the very beginning, she was patient, gentle, and incredibly attentive to their individual needs. She took the time to understand my anxious cat’s triggers and made sure he felt safe and comfortable, which gave me so much peace of mind. Kelsey provides safe, loving care and communicates consistently, which shows her professionalism and dedication to great customer service. She sends updates, is dependable, and genuinely treats my pets like her own. What makes her an awesome human being is her compassion — not just for animals, but for the pet parents who trust her. She goes above and beyond, and I always feel confident leaving my cats in her care.. I HIGHLY recommend her. Shes dependable and reliable.

Presly is absolutely incredible. Handling 4 dogs is no easy feat and she did it wonderfully. She gave each of our fur babies attention and dotted on them all. The photos from each visit were so great and helped give me an idea of how they were doing. Will 100% book with Presly anytime I need dog care and she is avaliable
