“Jennie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in every way and treated my dog, Max, like he was her own. From the very first walk, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about him. She sent me updates, gave Max lots of love and attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Max came back from his walks full of tail wags and smiles! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. I couldn’t recommend Jennie more—she’s the best!”

“Fennel was truly amazing with our puppy, Cooper! They were so attentive and communicative. As new dog parents who work full time, we wanted to ensure someone was there to care for Cooper while we were out of the house. Fennel did that and then some! Above and beyond! Many many thanks to the best dog sitter we could have asked for! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We will be booking with Fennel again any time we need assistance!”

“Ashley is very caring and dependable. Even though I was further out than she normally serves, she was willing to take care of my sweet girl until I was able to find someone who lived closer to me, and was able to meet my needs. I appreciate her empathy and caring attitude. I hope Rover is aware of what an asset they have in Ashley. Thank you again, Ashley.”


“Whitney was very communicative and prompt. She responded with very short notice to us in a “we need to leave town for a funeral and have nobody to care for our cat and dog” situation. She met with us before leaving to get instructions and meet our pets, and totally removed this as a stressor during our time of need. Very grateful, and highly recommend her!”

“Sabine was the best. I was so nervous to leave my kitties home alone for a long time and Sabine made me feel so comfortable all week. She took so many pictures and gave the best updates and was so great with them, even my grumpy boy warmed up to her quickly! She went above and beyond and we 100% recommend Sabine!!!”

“James' professionalism shines through his attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile. His genuine connection with animals was evident when Geronimo, typically shy around strangers, warmed up to James enough to forgo his usual under-the-bed hideout. The daily updates reassured me that Beowulf and Geronimo were receiving ample attention, exercise, and care. James' excellent communication skills kept me informed and at ease throughout my absence. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of James' service was the peace of mind he provided. I could fully enjoy my time away, confident in Beowulf and Geronimo's well-being and my home's security. For anyone in need of a dependable, compassionate drop-in dog sitter, James comes with my highest recommendation. We're already looking forward to booking his services for our next trip!”


About: While you are away, let your dogs enjoy a pupcation! My wife and I have been caring and training dogs for 10+ years. We have a fenced yard with a lake just beyond that. We currently have 2 friendly dogs who love to play. We can guarantee your dog will have an awesome time! We will train your dog as well if you would like. Dogs will get walked every day and plenty of play time. In this house hold, dogs are part of the family! Able to adapt and provide whatever care you require for your dog. I work 6am - 2pm and my wife works at a hospital over night. So there is always someone home to look after the dogs. If you want, we can take the dog out to the lake. We take ours out there all the time, it is shallow. But if you don't want them to, they don't need to. Our yard is fully fenced and cut off from the pond. Both my wife and I work, but she works night and I work days. So at all times we have someone home watching the pups. We treat your dog just like they were our own. We give them all the love, attention and care that they need. Your dog will gets plenty of play time, cuddles and care.
“Stephanie was great with our senior dog! I left a lot of instructions, and Steph completed everything, was VERY patient, and went above & beyond to keep me updated. It was great getting the detailed report card after every visit! Will definitely be booking her again for every trip we take!”

“JHahna is great with my Marley. She is always on time, communicates well and follows his care instructions to a T. It feels really good to find a trustworthy and reliable sitter. Marley also loves her doggy which is an extra bonus.”

“Melissa is really caring with my boy Harry. She has cared for Harry for the second time while I have been away. I appreciate her thoughtfulness, bringing Harry toys, and doing small extra things like bringing in mail/ packages, clean up and organizing things.”

“Alyssa is so kind and quickly became one of Oliver's favorite people! She's responsive and communicative and I never had any concerns or worries for Oliver's care while she was with him.”

“Clarice was amazing with my kitty! She provided detailed updates and lots of pictures that really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”

“Ashley met me outside. She was very professional and calm with our little dog who is not socialized and is very nippy and skittish. She did a very good job handling her thank you very much.”

“Victoria was super sweet with our two cats and took extra care with them. She was also very communicative and asked a lot of helpful questions, which I felt was a blessing considering she was our first sitter experience on Rover!”


About: Hi, I’m Kelly! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet mom who understands that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a little extra attention during a drop-in visit, or some calm companionship while you’re away, I’m here to provide reliable and loving care. I’m a swim trainer at the Canine Fitness Center in Crownsville, where I have the opportunity to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I have extensive experience caring for elderly dogs, injured dogs needing extra patience and attention, young puppies learning the ropes, and active dogs who are simply there to have fun and stay healthy. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. At home, I have my own furry crew: my 5-year-old Labrador Retriever, Scorchy Paws, and my two cats, Pete (11) and Tommy (10). They’ve taught me that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and ways of showing love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat your animals with the same care, patience, and affection that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending my time around animals and creating a schedule that allows me to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently working part time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with pets in my care. I’m typically available Sundays and Mondays, along with one additional weekday that varies depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their needs and their pet’s routine. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, playtime, feeding routines, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I love being able to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to help with meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and giving them the attention they need while you’re away. For walks, I’ll make sure they get exercise, enrichment, and a chance to enjoy some time outside. I’ll always take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and any specific care instructions you have. I know pets feel most comfortable when their routine stays familiar, so my goal is to provide dependable care while giving you peace of mind that they’re being looked after.
“Stephanie was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! We loved the photos and detailed updates during her visits, and know the cats were well taken care of. We would definitely book with her again!”

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 Severn 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.

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.
