Excellent job! I am very pleased with the way Isabelle took time to play with my cat. Last time I went away she was so anxious and stressed when I came home because that sitter just went in and out. But this time, my cat was happy to see me and there were no accidents! I will definitely use Isabelle in the future!

About: I don't have any pets of my own at the moment, so I get my daily dose of pet cuddles by caring for my friends' pets, from an energetic 6 month old puppy to senior dogs and cats. I've always been a cat person and proudly consider myself a bit of a cat lady, but I genuinely love animals of all kinds. In college, I even brought my betta fish home with me every weekend to make sure he was well cared for. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work from home, so it's easy for me to fit pet visits into my day. Spending time with with a cuddly friend would be one of my favorite parts of the week! I also work a part time job some evenings, but with advance notice I'm flexible and happy to accommodate your pet's schedule whenever possible. I know pets thrive on routine, so I'll do my best to keep things the way they're used to. From special feeding routines to favorite toys and cuddle time, I'll treat your pet with the same care and attention I'd want for my own.

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I work full-time in behavioral health, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and calm energy into how I care for animals—especially those who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I try to keep my schedule balanced so I can be fully present with each pet, and not feel rushed between visits. I’m happy to stick to consistent routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate specific timing needs when I can. I’m especially a good fit for pets who benefit from a calm, steady presence or a little extra patience. I care for every pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, attention, and a really calm energy. I recently adopted my cat, Louisville aka Louis, so I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your space. In your home, I’m very respectful of routines and will follow instructions closely to keep things consistent and low-stress. I take my time building trust, especially with shy or anxious pets (and cats who like to take their time warming up). I’m mindful about safety - secure doors, leashes, clean spaces, and making sure your pet is always comfortable. I’ll also send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, a walk, or just a cozy presence nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I provide personalized attention and care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I've successfully raised three well-behaved puppies, teaching them essential skills like leash walking and basic commands. I'm skilled at recognizing individual pets' personalities, quirks, and habits, and providing gentle exercise, playtime, and specialized care as needed. Your beloved companion will receive the love, attention, and expert care they deserve. As a stay-at-home mom, I've got plenty of time to hang out with furry friends. My two dogs keep me company, and we spend our days playing and chillin' in our big backyard. I'm all about providing a comfy and loving space for pets to relax and have fun. Your pet is welcome to join the crew and get all the snuggles and playtime they deserve! When pets stay with me, they get to enjoy the ultimate flex: coming and going to our fenced yard as they please through the doggy door. My securely fenced backyard is their playground, and they can soak up sunshine and fresh air whenever the mood strikes. I'm all about keeping things consistent, so I stick to a routine that includes scheduled meal times, two daily walks, and plenty of playtime and snuggles. Whether we're hanging at my place or yours, I've got everything covered to ensure a happy, relaxed experience for your furry friend.

About: Hi! My name is Renee and I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I grew up in a household with many different kinds of pets including dogs, rodents, and reptiles. I currently own two small dogs, Shih Tzu and Maltese mixes, one is 13 and the other is 3. I love all animals and am comfortable with them all. I’m currently unemployed so I have tons of time to care for and play with your furry friends! I’m mostly available on weekends as I have responsibilities weekdays, but I’m very flexible! I have a fenced in yard. I would keep my dogs separate just as a proactive measure since they are small. In your home I would care for your precious pet how you see fit!

Marianna was an absolute angel. Not only did she take on my booking super last-minute (seriously, a life saver!!), but she gave my fur babies all the love and attention that they could ask for! My Ariel is a diabetic, and Marianna was able to administer her injections with zero issues, keeping my sweet girl happy and healthy while we were away. 💚 She even managed to befriend my VERY shy boy Rugen, in very little time! Honestly, a magical feat by itself. On behalf of my both kitties and myself, we highly recommend Marianna as a sitter. 10/10 would definitely book with her again! 🐱😻

About: I'm excited to have your furry friend over and will give them all the TLC they deserve while sticking to their regular schedules. I've been obsessed with dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of our family dog, Lucky, since he was a puppy up until he passed away due to old age at 17 years. I now have a 6 year old Shiba Inu, Sumi, and a 10 year old cat, Ellie. Sumi was a rescue mill mama and was extremely fearful. With patience and love, she's finally come out of her shell. I've managed to teach both the dog and the cat tricks and work on training with them daily. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment and am home most of the day. I'll stick to whatever schedule your pet is used to so there won't be any confusion when they return to you. Our neighborhood is pretty large and also has a walking trail, so walks can be as short or long as you'd like. There's a dog friendly space downstairs with plenty of room to run around and play with toys, or if they prefer to chill, there's plenty of pet beds and blankets in the living room. I have a very chill and friendly Shiba Inu and Husky/Shepherd mix at home that can keep your dog company. I do have a cat that has their own room and can be separated if your dog doesn't get along with cats. I also have a large crate and two pens available if that's something you're used to doing. Baby gates are set up between each floor, but are usually left open for my dog. There are cameras on each floor so that I can keep an eye on the pets if I'm leaving the home or on a different floor.

About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized, compassionate care for every dog I meet. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, including helping reinforce basic training, maintaining consistent routines, and adapting care to different energy levels and mobility needs. Whether it's encouraging good leash manners, practicing basic commands with young dogs, or providing patient, gentle care for older pets, I focus on creating a positive and stress-free experience. I believe in clear communication, reliability, and treating every dog as if they were my own. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is getting attentive, dependable care from someone who truly enjoys spending time with animals. I currently offer dog care services during evenings and weekends, making me a great option for busy professionals, families, or anyone who needs dependable care outside of regular business hours. I'm available for evening walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays (if applicable), and weekend pet sitting. I strive to be flexible and work with your schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care, attention, and exercise they need. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your pet's regular routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special care instructions. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and exercise to help your pet feel happy and secure. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat your home with the utmost respect, keep everything clean and tidy, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If your pet stays in my home, they'll receive a welcoming, supervised environment with lots of love, enrichment, and individualized care to help them feel right at home.

Karen was extremely helpful and affectionate towards my cat T-Bone. She checked in every day and sent thoughtful and informative messages about my cat. Karen spent a lot of time with my cat during check-ins, and also helped with litter and checking my cat’s food and water dishes. Karen sent numerous pictures and videos after each visit. She was overall very flexible, a good communicator, and a great comfort while I was away from my pet. I really appreciate her help and would recommend.

About: As an experienced pet sitter and cat owner, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. By having my own pet I understand the need for patience, attention to detail, and maintaining routines. I provide compassionate care tailored to each pets needs and personality, treating every animal as if they were part of my own family. Im am currently working part time and at most work three times a week. This allows me to have a lot of availability to care for your animals! I care for pets in clients homes by following their normal routines to help pets feel safe and comfortable. I also give regular updates to owners and make sure the pets get plenty of love when their owners are away.

About: I have had all kind of pets growing up and raised our family puppy in 2020! Dogs have always been my favorite kind of pet, and I have dog sat for multiple family and friends over the years! I work part time and am in school currently, so I am available for dog sitting/walking in the evenings/night time and over the weekends! Feel free to reach out with any questions! I am offering to dog sit in the client's home, as though I already have my own dog and lots of family members at home, but I have done this before and feel comfortable dog sitting in other people's homes and being respectful of the dog's environment.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Sandy Spring on Rover is $34.41 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 17,488 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Sandy Spring. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sandy Spring stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sandy Spring choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Sandy Spring with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sandy Spring. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
