“Archie had so much fun staying with Stephanie (and Tank) that he would start wagging his tail when we pull up to the house and bolts inside as soon as the door opens!! She is caring, reliable, and sends great updates/pics through out the day :) 10/10 recommend”
“Brian has been wonderful with our dog in the short time he's been caring for him. Murph can be a bit of a wild boy sometimes, but Brian has handled him with kindness and gentle corrections. We very much appreciate all he does.”
“What a lovely, caring family. Janica and her son welcomed our recent rescue puppy with open arms, and reassured us she would be fine with them and their dog - and she was right! We got picture updates even though our dog was only with them a few hours. ...we just wish we had someone we could trust living closer to us on the Central Coast.”
About: I love spending time with pets and so I am interested in taking care of them. I simply connect well with them and they love me a lot. I had 2 dogs and use to enjoy a lot with them. I hope your pet and me will become friends. Other Relevant details: Responsible for entering people's homes and ensuring the proper care of their pets. Ensure that pets are safe and given adequate attention when their owners are away from home. Key holder and caring for pets including feeding, watering, socializing, and exercising. Built positive, trusting relationships with dogs Ensured client satisfaction through timely and efficient care. Monitored dogs' behavior and acted as necessary. Provide companionship and comfort to pet. Receive and document cash payments. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m able to take regular breaks to check in on them, offer playtime, feeding, walks, or just some company. On weekends, I’m usually out for only a few hours, so I’m still available to provide care and keep pets comfortable and happy. My schedule is flexible, and I make sure each pet gets the time, focus, and affection they need. When I’m caring for pets—whether in my home or yours—I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely loved. I follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel secure and relaxed while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect the space and follow all instructions exactly as given. I handle feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter or potty routines, and any special needs your pet may have. I also spend quality time socializing, comforting, and keeping them company so they never feel lonely. As a trusted key holder, I take home access seriously and always ensure your pet and your home are safe. In my own home, I maintain a calm, pet‑friendly environment where animals can settle in and feel at ease. I give them plenty of attention throughout the day, keep their routine consistent, and make sure they get the right balance of play, rest, and affection. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is to create a space where they feel happy, understood, and well cared for.
“David M. Was great- sent pics and video during the day. Will use his services again without question. Our two dogs spent the entire day with him and we are so pleased. Thank You, David M.”
“My puppy had a great time. He played and played, slept very well when he came home. Will definitely leave him with Sandra and his new best buddy Coco next time we're in town.”
“Miko had a great time at Shireen’s! We did a meet and greet a few days before to help him warm up a bit, and that was helpful for my nervous pup. If we ever need a sitter again, we will definitely be booking with Shireen!”
“Leslie has been amazing! I have been using her for daycare when I have long work days. Her grandson snuggles my boys and Leslie is there with them the entire time, letting them out into the yard for exercise. I can't tell you how relieved I feel knowing that they're not at home alone. Leslie has given me such great peace of mind.”
“Sabrina watched our baby for daycare for 3 days. Our pup quickly seemed to warm up to her. She kept us updated during the day and graciously brought her to us at the end of the day. Sabrina seemed super friendly and she treated our pup with a lot of care, even in the face of our dog’s first heat cycle. We appreciate her and the care she provided.”
About: I grew up around all sorts of farm animals and had many dogs and cats that were truly family! I hope to provide that feeling too! I work full time in marketing but do remote work Monday, Thursday and Friday! I’m also occasionally free on the weekends and can definitely take care of any fur babies! I live in a studio! It is tidy, clean and open concept so there’s more than enough room! My cat loves heights so there is some taller tables and such for your pet and as for Dogs no worries! My cat loves dogs ( and he also plays fetch lol)
About: I have grown up with animals my whole life ever since i can remember. I love all animals, however dogs have a special place in my heart. I am Deaf, and dogs seem to be very comfortable and protective with me as if they know about my deafness. I have taught my dogs basic tricks using sign language such as "sit, stay, friend (or paw shake), lay down". I absolutely love cuddling with my dogs and watching them be silly. I currently assist my older sister with baby sitting my autistic niece part time. I am available from 11am-2:00pm however if you need anything in the evenings, I am open to that as well, just feel free to ask! :) I always approach new dogs with calm and soft energy and will generally allow them to come to me and sniff. I am very patient to those who may feel anxious. I know how to read a dogs body language. I will always communicate with you about your pets needs.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Rockville commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,048 sitters in Rockville, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
