About: I've taken care of animals my whole life, from wildlife rehabilitation to training adopted dogs and cats from the side of the road, I've seen it all. Let me know if you need any help pet sitting or walking! I work as a music teacher and performer, weekdays are often the best for me but let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do! We have 11 acres including four acre field, one dog, two cats, and a rescue mini pig that all love each other and love making friends.
About: Does your dog need a lot of play, or long walks? Or just someone to spend time with them and give them love and company? I am your person! My schedule is very flexible. I have been working from home for a long time and have lots of time to devote to pet sitting. I would come to your home as much as needed. If spending the night or spending a chunk of time during the day is needed for your pet, I am available to do so.
About: I will love and spoil your babies just like they are my own. I have had Dogs all my life and just love everything about them. I especially love the energetic dogs, the ones others consider "crazy" and Senior dogs, I have a huge soft spot in my heart for those guys. I have had rescue dogs all my life so am used to working with "quirky dogs", please tell me any unusual behaviour/likes/dislikes beforehand. I can't keep everyone safe if I am not fully prepared. I keep the number of pets I care for down to a small amount so I can offer a more personalised care and give your guys what they need I have a fenced in yard, and one very sweet dog who loves to hang out with other dogs so will keep your dog company
About: I have had a love and natural talent for dogs/cats both stray and or domestic since I was a little girl. I have no fear of any breed as I have had several dogs of my own that were of a more “aggressive” and or bigger breed. I am currently working from home so my schedule is very flexible so whether you are looking for someone to stay the night or do drop ins, I’d be a perfect match. I am very active so even when sitting for one pet I can keep them entertained if needed. I have trained dogs outside of my own so I do understand how to gain rapport and respect while also maintaining patience.
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid and I trained my dog and many other family/friends pets! I’ve had my dog for 9 years. I currently work part time throughout the week and I include and care for my dog any time I am at home. She loves outdoors! I am sure to keep my dog on a leash at all time she is not home and pick up as we go! I also like wiping after going outside.
“Kaitlynne was amazing! I will definitely be asking for her help in the future. She was so patient with my bunch. My dogs are all very different and need all different kinds of care and attention and she handled them all with the love that I would have. I’m so thankful and I felt so much more comfortable being away knowing the care she was giving to my guys.”
About: I am currently getting my animal care degree at acc and there i have learned many skills such as animal husbandry , basic animal health care , animal handling. I am also fear free certified , can preform cat and dog cpr and can administer oral medications as well as administer fluids and injections. I am currently interning at Liberty acres which is a animal rescue/zoo and take care of many animals some including reptiles,birds,equine,livestock and foxes. I am currently working part time usually nights so I would be able to do drop ins in the morning before work or mid day and after work as well. On my days off I could do any time :) The specific tasks and level of care provided depend on the individual needs of the pet and the services offered, but generally include feeding, grooming, exercising, monitoring health, and providing companionship.
About: Senior dogs, young puppies, and medical schooling are no issue here! I’ve been taking care and learning about all sorts of dogs for 9 years!

About: I’ve always been around dogs and understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m an active and responsible caregiver who enjoys spending quality time with dogs, whether that means going for walks, playing, getting some exercise, or simply relaxing together. I’m attentive to the little things that help dogs feel comfortable and happy, including maintaining their normal feeding and walking routines, providing plenty of attention, and making sure they get the care they need while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities and will take the time to learn what works best for your pet. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently fully available at all hours and can provide consistent, reliable care whenever you need it. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone’s pet. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I’m attentive to their needs, keep a close eye on them, and always follow any instructions you leave for me. In your home, I’ll also be respectful of your space and leave everything just as I found it. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while your pet is in my care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rock Creek is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,557 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rock Creek. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 Rock Creek. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
