“Colleen is great with our pups! She is very flexible with her schedule and is very accommodating. She does drop in visits and overnights at our house while we go out of town. I highly recommend her for your pet’s needs!”
“Brittany took fantastic care of my cat, Remy, while I was away for a quick weekend trip! She was so helpful in accommodating our last minute request and sent us cute photos and videos of him. Our cat loves spending time with her!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have grown up around pets for as long as I can remember! I’m someone who is patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m always willing to learn what makes your pet feel the most comfortable and happy. When I’m taking care of your pets, my priority is making sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means going on a walk, playing outside, getting some extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve! I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different energy levels and personalities, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I also understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person taking care of your fur babies, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure you know how they’re doing. I’m currently a student and would love to spend some of my free time caring for animals! I’m dependable, flexible, and excited to meet some new furry friends. 🐶🤍 I’d love the opportunity to take care of your pets and treat them like they’re my own! I have classes Monday–Friday, but my schedule varies throughout the week. Mondays I’m in class from 9 AM–5 PM, Tuesdays from 11 AM–12:30 PM, Wednesdays until 8 PM, Thursdays until 5 PM, and Fridays until 3 PM. I’m completely free on weekends and am also happy to work with the gaps between my classes during the week. I’m flexible and would love to find a schedule that works best for you and your pets! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I will make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable at all times. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including their walking routes, feeding schedule, medications, and any specific rules you have for your home or pets. I’m also very mindful of their environment and will keep doors and gates securely closed, watch for anything that could be unsafe, and never leave your pet unattended in an unfamiliar or risky situation. I’ll treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect that I would want someone to show my own home. Most importantly, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for while you’re away!
“Sharon did a wonderful job caring for our girl. She had great communication and followed all care instructions thoroughly. The report cards were very thorough so we knew exactly how our pup was doing throughout the day. We are very appreciate of her great care and will definitely use Sharon again.”
About: I’ve grown up in a family that always opened our home to animals- dogs, cats, and even the occasional bird. Whether we were helping friends, fostering, or adopting them into our family, caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. Once I started petsitting on my own, I realized just how special getting to know every pet’s distinct personality is. My goal is always to keep their routines steady and familiar while you’re away, so your pets feel safe, loved, and completely at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly rhythm. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to plan my day around a pet’s needs- whether that’s morning walks, midday check- ins, playtime, or sticking to a specific feeding routine. Caring for animals isn’t something I’m squeezing in; it’s something I look forward to and can easily prioritize. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to make their world feel as steady and familiar as possible. I follow your established routine closely- regular potty breaks, mealtimes on schedule, daily walks, play sessions, cuddle time, or whatever your pet is used to. I pay attention to their moods and preferences so I can meet them where they’re comfortable, whether they’re energetic and playful or more shy and slow to warm up. I’m patient and gentle with new personalities, and I do my best to keep stress low by maintaining the rhythm they already know. I give plenty of attention and affection, and I make sure their physical needs, emotional needs, and little quirks are cared for with the same consistency you provide at home. I also keep your space tidy and respected while I’m there- clean food and water bowls, locked doors, lights the way you left them, and any small home routines you request. Most importantly, I’m committed to your pet’s safety and comfort. I’ll keep a close eye on how they’re doing, communicate with you throughout your trip, and make sure they’re cared for, loved, and fully supported until you’re home again.
About: I don’t just pet‑sit — I love on your animals like they’re part of my own little pack. From belly rubs to long walks and cozy snuggles, your fur babies get all the care, attention, and heart they deserve. Brachycephalic breed experience and understanding; cataract post-surgery care/boarding offered as well. Kittens/Puppies/Elder/Special Needs Animals Morning: I start the day with your cat — breakfast, fresh water, gentle snuggles, and a little playtime to ease into the day. I check in on their mood, energy level, and any special needs so the rest of the day stays centered around them. Midday: I’m home for the most of the day, keeping your cat company, offering enrichment, supervising any outdoor time they enjoy, and maintaining their routine. If your cat is comfortable and settled, I may step out for essential errands, always making sure their needs are fully met before I leave and right when I return. Afternoon: More focused attention — play sessions, quiet companionship, grooming if they enjoy it, or simply being nearby so they feel safe and supported. Their comfort guides the pace of the day. Evening: Dinner, cozy wind‑down time, and extra affection. I stay home to ensure they feel secure, relaxed, and cared for as they settle in for the night. A day in my care is all about your cat — snuggles when they want closeness, playful moments to spark joy, supervised outdoor time for safe exploring, gentle walks or calming car rides if they enjoy them, and a routine built entirely around their needs. Whether they’re nursing, growing, aging, or require special attention, I make sure every moment feels comforting, enriching, and full of love.
“Dustin has made my first time experience with Rover amazing. He made sure to keep me updated with how Bella responded to him and took pictures on their walk. He definitely treated her like his own. He made her really happy during his visits. I would definitely use him again. 10/10”
About: I have had multiple pets such as dogs, cats, and even chickens over the span of my life so far and have gained excellent knowledge and experience. I am fully capable of caring for animals and making sure they are fed, walked, and comfortable while their family is away. I have a very flexible schedule and am able to prioritize things that need to be completed. I am a recent college grad trying to keep myself busy until I get married in November. I am responsible and leave you thinking about weither your pets are being cared for or not! Although taking care of animals in my own home is not greatest fit, I am able to drive and take care of animals in the clients home. I will follow the clients instructions on how to best take care of their fur babies while they are away. I will feed them, play with them, and make sure they are as comfortable as possible.
About: I've lived in a house full of dogs for years so I feel more than qualified to handle a house full of your furry friends or a house with one. I've pet sat for friends and family so I know how important it is your dogs don't feel alone. Nowadays, even with the heat I'm a big fan of taking walks with my dogs. We're both fans of the exercise and I have a small wading pool as a treat after the walk. I normally take them early in the morning or later in the evening when the sun is not at its hottest to protect their feet. I only work part time early mornings so I have a wide open afternoon schedule that is available. I'm willing to be flexible with your schedule. My normal weekly schedule has me available Mondays and Tuesdays after 1pm and Wednesday through Friday I am available after 11am. I'm all about positive reinforcement and love to play with dogs. I understand dogs can get rough and I'm not afraid of their nibbles but I do know how to distract and redirect their attention in the case of extreme rough play. I'm a big fan of treats so I do include treats during my time with dogs. As long as there is a fenced in back yard, I don't like to rely too heavily on a leash but like for the dog to feel free to roam.
About: I have experience taking care of animals in and outside the vet. I went to school to be a vet assisting and have learned a lot on handling animals of all sizes and ages. I have also ad experience with watching pets for friends and others. All the animals I own are adopted from shelters. I’m all about saving the fur babies that need homes. I love helping owners feel better about leaving for work and nervous about how their pets are while they’re gone. I will gladly send messages and pictures to assure your pets are well taken care of. I won’t charge an and a leg because how how hard it is to find someone you trust to care for your 4 legged friends.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rock Creek
Allison did a great job caring for our 3 small dogs and 2 cats during our vacation. She communicated promptly and sent pictures during each drop in visit. She even agreed to water plants! We appreciate her caring for our pets and would recommend her for pet care in the future.
Colleen was just what we needed. She was willing to meet and greet a head of time, and that was really appreciated. She is good about sending updates and pics. She was patient and understanding to my dog and didn't force him in to doing anything. I knew she had to be perfact, because upon arriving home the puupies were so happy.We will be calling on her again. Thank You

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rock Creek is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 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 241 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
