“Rover review She took great care of Hazy while I was away. He unfortunately developed vomiting and diarrhea during my trip, so she had to clean up after him daily and keep a close eye on him. It may have been anxiety- but nonetheless-She even brought a probiotic from home for him, which I really appreciated. I ended up adding three extra visits so she could continue monitoring him, and she was reliable and communicative throughout. I really appreciated her taking on the extra work while Hazy wasn’t feeling well.”
“Kelly was really great with our cats. Appreciated the daily updates and pics. She always let us know if her schedule changed a little so we wouldn't worry. Our kitties were calm and happy and healthy when we got back, so we were happy too!”
“Leah was fantastic! This was my first experience using Rover and it was such a great one! Leah was so caring for our animals (2 dogs and 3 cats). While we were away there were lots of storms which our dogs don’t like. Leah went the extra mile to stay with them and make them feel comfortable. She played with them and gave them lots of love. I could tell they were besties even before the end of the week! I will definitely use Leah again and would recommend her to anyone! She was the best!”
“This is our second time booking with Alex, and she’s been wonderful both times! She’s reliable and great with both our cats and chinchillas. We really appreciate her updates and attention to detail during drop-in visits. Highly recommend!”
“Marion is absolutely wonderful. She is always quick to respond, takes amazing care of my Luna Tuna, and clearly has a genuine love for what she does. As a bonus, she even loves plants. I could not recommend her more.”
“Alissa was a joy to meet and my dogs loved her. You can tell she really enjoys interacting with dogs. She asked great questions and made sure we were aligned on expectations. This visit was for a meet and greet.”
“Jeannie R. Is a great dog walker, sitter, drop in person. She always texts to ask questions and lets me know how my dogs are doing. I so appreciate her professionalism. Will book her again!”
“Marianna is the absolute best. My babies love her, and I know workout a doubt that they are beyond well taken care of. I never have to worry when I have to go out of town, because she will give them all the love, as if they were her own! 🩵”
“Hazel has been great help for our busy family and taking care of Max our fur baby. Super punctual and flexible and communicative. Max sure enjoys his walks with her. Thank you Hazel 🙏🏻”
“Anton was a fantastic communicator and took my stress away about leaving my kitties. I left for 4 days and have 6 cats and he was fantastic. His picture updates were cute & he went above and beyond to play with them and feed them their wet food. Highly recommend him for any of your animal needs.”
“Nicole is a reliable sitter who really loves my pets - I can tell from the photos and videos that they are really at ease with her. She takes and maintains detailed notes about what my boys like and remembers them on subsequent bookings. Small things like keeping the door open for them to look out during the day, filling a human glass with water etc which makes a huge difference. Even my fluffy boy with anxiety looks forward to her visits. I'm at ease even when I'm far away that they're in good hands and well taken care of. Thank you Nicole for all that you do and for going above and beyond each time. My babies and I appreciate you :)”
“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!”

Leah did an amazing job with our two pups, Raven and Cole. She was extremely communicative and took constant photos and detailed notes of her visits with the pups to let us know they were well cared for. She even left a present for the dogs- a few toys and a thoughtful note! We will definitely use her again as it’s been a fantastic experience!
Always a pleasure working with Jeannie. She goes above and beyond! My cat adores her. He runs to greet her at the door. She spends lots of time letting him just cuddle and pur on her lap. She's even been kind enough to keep an eye on my house. Get the mail, and I noticed, she tidied up my messy family room! Thank you again! I look forward to working with you again. I know Buki will be happy to see you!
Gabi’s been a great sitter for our pups! She pays close attention, listens to our pups’ needs, and communicates clearly every step of the way. She’s always responsive, which gives us peace of mind while we’re away and we feel confident that our pups are n good hands. Highly recommend!
Jaemin dropped in on my senior cat for 10 days over the holidays. He and his wife came for a pre-booking visit and were great about asking lots of questions and making sure they had all the relevant info. My cat was skittish and didn’t come out on any of the visits but Jaemin always made sure she had fresh food, water, and litter box. He also brought in my mail and took the trash bins down. Would definitely call him again anytime I need a cat sitter. Highly recommend!
Annesha is so detail oriented and tries so hard to please not only the puppies but the owners!! She asks all the right questions and is so wonderful in every way! She kept in touch a lot and snapped some adorable pics of our babies (she watched our five dogs all ar once! Thank you Annesha!!!🥰🥰
We worked with Lauren this past weekend as she took care of our cat. Lauren was a pleasure to work with. Great communication and responsiveness. She sent photos and texted me before and after her visits with Mia (our cat). More importantly, when we arrived back home I could tell that Mia was happy which lets me know that she had enough attention over the weekend and wasn't lonely!!!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Sandy Spring on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 18,118 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
