About: I grew up with dogs of all sizes and frequently volunteered with my local Humane Society. After college I worked with Rover for a few years doing various dogsitting jobs with all kinds of pups. I also became a cat mom myself and love them! As a mom to a human toddler, I’m very patient and caring towards all animals and take my responsibilities seriously. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom and my husband has a flexible schedule, so I’m pretty open and easy to work with! Afternoons and evenings are probably easiest. I’m very attentive and responsible and can adapt to whatever setup you have- small apartment, fenced yard, etc. I’m very comfortable taking pets out on walks or crating them inside if needed.
“I was very nervous to leave my cats at home for 2 weeks while on vacation, but Teffni made me feel so much better with how well she took care of them! She played with them every day, sent pictures, gave medicine, and even vacuumed the litter. She was great!”
About: Hi, I am Naty :) I’ve been working with dogs for over 12 years & I still love them more than humans! Your pup deserves to be loved and catered to while you are away, so no worries. I am here to be your pups bestie. That includes going on walks, playing in the park, having play dates, we may even watch a movie oh and of course tea time. There’s always gossip to share! My goal is to cater to your dog based on their needs and their lifestyle. I like to teach basic training skills to all the dogs I walk. Such as sit, wait & drop it. My goal is to make sure your pup is happy & worn out after our time together so they can be calm & relaxed when you get home. I have a very flexible schedule since I work from home. However, I have more availability in the evenings & on the weekends. I am also available to stay over if you travel out of town. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to host dogs at my house. But I am able to provide overnight care at your house for both cats & dogs.
About: I have been dog sitting for my neighbors, friends, and family for many years. What I bring is patient, reliable care, a flexible schedule, and a genuine love for keeping dogs happy, safe, and well-exercised. I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality and needs, making sure they receive plenty of attention, play, and affection while also following each owner's preferences and instructions. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine thanks to my flexible schedule. I'm available most mornings from 7:00–11:00 a.m., generally available throughout the midday and afternoon with advance notice, and available again in the evenings from about 5:00–8:00 p.m. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their needs. When I’m caring for your dog, my main focus is making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ll follow your routine and any instructions you leave, whether that’s feeding, walks, or playtime. On walks, I always stay aware of my surroundings and make sure your dog is secure and well cared for.
“Sydney was a wonderful sitter to our 3 cats, including one diabetic who needed medications. Her regular updates showed that she was being keenly observant and attentive to the kitties and really giving them what they needed, not just going through the motions. After a week away, we came home to happy, healthy cats who didn’t seem to have missed us at all. A very professional, responsible and caring sitter, I highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again myself the next time we need her services. Thanks so much, Sydney!”
“Rounida did a great job watching my two cats! She sent me pictures every day and gave updates about my cats. She kept the litter area clean and even changed out my Litter Genie on her last day! I would definitely ask Rounida to watch my cats again.”
“Linda was very attentive and caring, gave us a real peace of mind being away from our pets. She asked important questions and made sure our pets were taken care of with as much normalcy as was allowed. Would definitely book again!”
“We cannot rave about Dana enough. She is so attentive and communicative. There was an issue with our concierge, but she let us know immediately, so we were able to fix it. Shes truly incredible at what she does, and our cats love her. We are so grateful to her for taking care of our babies.”
“Kelsey was fabulous. Sent lots of pictures of our cat over the week we were gone. I could tell she was happy to see Kelsey when she stopped by. I would highly recommend Kelsey for any of your pet care needs!”
About: I have always loved animals. I treat all animals just like a family members. I enjoyed witnessing their personalities and making sure they are comfortable. I am currently a nursing student and have a somewhat busy schedule however I am always open to finding extra time to give amazing care to your pets. Please reach out to me about same day visits if I am able I would still love to accommodate and accept them! I always look for signs of when pets need a bathroom break or if they are in distress, I want to give them all the attention they require. I am able to administer oral medication to all pets via treat. I like to get a list or an idea of what a typical day looks like for your pet. I I work mostly with smaller animals under 50lbs mostly.
About: I’m a clean freak and pay very close attention to detail, so more needy dogs are up my ally! I have a high-need and reactive dog myself, so I have experience with a variety of pet care scenarios. If your dog just needs some extra attention, that’s great too! I work remotely from home, so I can pop in and out when needed. I’m more flexible in the morning to early afternoons since I make my own schedule. I’m working part-time pet care, but am adaptable to your needs. I highly value instruction and communication, as I understand our pups are our babies. I will show your home and your pup all the love they deserve. I’m careful and cautious, so I will always make sure your home and your pup are safe.
“Megan was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter. She spent plenty of time with our cat and is clearly just an animal lover and understands their needs. She was a thorough communicator and went above and beyond in everything. I have already booked Megan again and I hope she can be our go-to sitter in the future! I highly recommend.”
“Joshgun is extremely professional, I would definitely recommend him! He was punctual, kind, communicative and flexible. Our cat felt happy and safe with him :) looking forward to working with him again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Silver Spring
Caden was great and super flexible while pet sitting my three pets on short notice!! My dog is very shy/reactive and he was very accommodating and understanding of what she needed to be introduced. Caden took thorough and kind care of my two cats and one dog, was timely, and kept my apartment in excellent shape. I’ve never seen such a neat litter box!! I’m excited to hire him again.
My dog Duke loved his time with Ashley each day, twice a day for a week. It was daily complete and total professionalism. Each visit included feeding, changing water, administration of medication, walking and playing with him. Absolutely recommend her and plan to have her help again in the future.
Jason has been caring for our pup consistently over the past seven months, and we couldn't be more grateful. He's incredibly reliable, always shows up rain or shine, and truly cares about the dogs. He makes every visit fun by planning activities that keep our pup engaged and happy. Knowing she's in caring and dependable hands gives us real peace of mind. We highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated dog walker.
Kacy is exceptional. She is just the right person we were looking for to take care of our dog to the same level we take care of him. It’s was very apparent the first time she met our dog that she truly loves dogs and understands their language. We’ve had nothing but great experiences with Kacy.
Ashley is incredible! She sent lots of updates and photos while she watched my dog Lincoln for a long weekend. She was also very good about communicating a small concern she had about him and I appreciated her taking the time to notice it and reach out to me about it. I would rebook and recommend Ashley time and time again!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Silver 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 Silver 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 .

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

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.
