About: To this day I am shocked by and grateful for how much love and joy our pets, Ovie and Ashe, bring into our home. I know that being away from them is never easy, so it is my goal to provide your pet with the care and adventure they expect, and to provide you with the peace of mind you deserve. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding throughout the week and look forward to excuse for some more time outdoors. I have a nice yard on a quiet street. While our yard is unfenced, your fur-friend will never be unsupervised. Inside our home we have two friendly dogs to keep yours entertained. We love being outside and have nearby walking paths and trails accessible for tons of sights, sounds, and smells!
“Julia is amazing!! She is quick to respond and takes the most adorable pictures!! I also love the notes she leaves with each drop in. I would HIGHLY recommend her!! My dog absolutely loves her.”
“Alex did drop in visits for my cat. She did a great job. My cat is shy around people she doesn't know. But she came out on the last day for pets. Very much appreciate her help!”
“Gabi was awesome. She didn't just care for my cat, she spent time with her, played with her, and even assembled a cat toy for her to engage with her (I had not had the time to unbox it myself). Gabi was awesome, and I definitely would have her watch my cat again. Keep being your awesome self, Gabi!”
“Sarah was amazing with Miso! Dropped by every day and gave my sweet girl all the attention she deserved. She also took some amazing pictures of her to send to me! Will definitely book again next time I’m out of town. Thanks Sarah 🫶🏽”
“My experience with Leah was wonderful! She promptly responded to my initial request and we scheduled a Meet and Greet at my home. She showed obvious knowledge of animals and asked pertinent questions about caring for my cats. While I was gone I received daily check-ins through the Rover app with several pictures. It was clear that my cats were comfortable with her, and enjoyed her petting! My kitchen was left very clean. I am very pleased to have found Leah and highly recommend her services.”
“Alissa has been wonderful, we're so thankful we found her. Our 5 yr old Golden Retriever loves her, she's calm and sweet and clearly knows what she's doing around dogs. She's been walking him for us for several weeks now and she's prompt and takes great care of him, he's happy to go off with her. She's been wonderful, we highly recommend her!”
“Jeannie R is the best. She’s an excellent dog sitter! My dog, Chloe, loves her. Chloe is played with, petted, and loved. I’m very thankful that Jeannie R takes care of her.”
“Ariana was a wonderful cat sitter. She watched our two cats during the first time we were away from them, and they were very well taken care of. She followed our instructions and preferences and sent great updates and pictures.”
“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 🙏🏻”
“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.”
“Jeanine took incredible care of my sweet boy! My dog can be quite stubborn and difficult to get outside, but Jeanine’s magical doggie powers got him outdoors and into the sunshine for his daily backyard adventure! Thank you for the daily visits over the last few weeks!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and have trained many puppies and older dogs alike. All my dogs have been rescues so I’m very familiar with dogs that have come from bad situations and dogs that are misunderstood because of their breeds. I’ve always had dogs of different sizes, breeds and temperaments. I’m always the first person my friends and family go to when they need some extra help with t dogs or just need someone to watch them while on vacation. I live on 10 acres which is perfect for those dogs that love off leash time but don’t get a lot, I love exploring new areas and have assisted in training dogs while in the military. I’m currently working part time and looking for a way to get out of the house more often and help people with their pets needs. As a dog and cat owner I know how important exercise is and that some people just don’t have the time to take their dogs on proper walks while they are at work. I live on ten acres and can offer a safe environment for dogs to safely play in, I have extra long leads so if your pup isn’t quite off leash trained they can still have an amazing experience with the long leads and all the land. I always follow whatever instructions are left for me as I know how important routines can be for a pet!
“We had an amazing experience with Teffni! She cared for our lab and three cats for 9 days and went above and beyond. She was incredibly attentive, responsive to messages, and kept us updated with lots of great pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our pets were clearly well-loved and cared for. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and will absolutely book with Teffni again!”
“Tyasia was great! She was great with communication, my cats loved her, and her pictures truly made my heart happy. Highly recommend using her for your kitty-sitting needs.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Sandy Spring is $20

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.
Gabi was awesome. She didn't just care for my cat, she spent time with her, played with her, and even assembled a cat toy for her to engage with her (I had not had the time to unbox it myself). Gabi was awesome, and I definitely would have her watch my cat again. Keep being your awesome self, Gabi!
Leah did a fantastic job watching our two cats. Our cats can be challenging—one is very shy and one eats everything but is very social. Leah did an amazing job meeting both cats’ needs and making them both feel comfortable and cared for. Both our cats got a lot of love while we were out and Leah went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. She sent a ton of updates as well which also made our day better. It made our vacation all the better knowing that everything was taken care of at home. We would definitely recommend Leah’s services and we’re hoping to hire her again in the future.
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!!!

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 August 2026, there are 18,232 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.
