“Katherine has been so helpful, accommodating, and reliable, when it comes to Callie. As a first time dog owner, I am worried all the time about my puppy, so it’s nice to know she’s with someone who genuinely cares during the day. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lo did a great job taking care of our geriatric zoo - above and beyond in a snow storm, 3 different medication regimens, and ensuring our fur babies were happy and well cared for.”
“Juna continues to take fantastic care of my hound mix! My dog is always happy to see Juna, and I can tell from her consistent communication and her lovely walking/drop-in photos that my dog continues to enjoy Juna's care and company throughout each booking. Juna has proven to be capable and resourceful throughout all of her visits with my dog, and I'm confident she would be the same with yours, too!”
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.
About: My passion is making sure pets are cared for to the utmost quality. My pet sitting journey started by walking my neighbors dogs when I was just 12 years old and continued dog walking/pet sitting for family members/friends/clients until graduating college. My pet sitting has grown over the years and I definitely have grown more in love with it. I have a lot of cat sitting experience as well and have always cared for my grandma’s cats when she needs the extra help. I’m currently only pet sitting part-time. I am available after 5pm Monday to Thursday and after 12pm on Fridays. I’m available all weekends. This can be variable as I will also have days off from work which will allow me to have more availability. I live in a spacious 700 sq ft studio by myself. I also don’t have any pets that live with me. I live in a very dog friendly community with a dog park and large fields of grass perfect for off-leash time. I do also have large windows perfect for bird watching for my meow-er companions :)
About: “Lifetime pet lover with experience caring for my own dog and my current cat. Excited to provide loving and reliable care for your furry friends!” “My schedule is flexible right now, so I’m available pretty much anytime to care for your pet! Morning, afternoon, or evening—I’ll be there whenever you need! I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment for pets, trying to ensure they feel at ease with gentle care, attention, and plenty of affection.
“Alyssa was so kind and communicative! She was so caring and respectful to my cat and gave me so much peace of mind while I was traveling for the week. I'm endlessly grateful and can't recommend her enough to other cat owners!!”
“Jason dropped in to check in on my 2 dogs over the last weekend while I was out at a seminar. He was very punctual, followed directions, communicative, and my pups seemed very happy when I came home later in the day. Looking forward to Jason staying with my pups during my upcoming trip.”
“Jocabet was a lifesaver! She filled in last minute when our usual walker wasn’t available and was very communicative, punctual and gave great updates as well as photos. We will definitely book her again!”
“Angela was so helpful and communicative with our cats! We have three cats, and they are all very different. One cat does not like strangers at all, and Angela respected her space but also sent a picture every day so we knew she was alright. The other two love attention (one takes some warming up), and Angela caught onto their personalities right away. We absolutely recommend Angela!”
“Josh was taking care of our senior cat, who has arthritis and needed meds. Josh followed every instruction and was easy to communicate. Our cat was very happy to see his new friend every day!”
“Leo is wonderful!! He kindly agreed to come to a meet and greet, he’s so chill and genuinely has such a kind demeanor. He is on time (even early) and spends the entire time booked playing/walking or caring for your animal. He’s watched my 7 month old doodle 2x now and will be our regular dog sitter! Would recommend without a doubt :)”
“Sarah was very attentive and careful while dealing with a very shy cat. She was easy to communicate with and showed a lot of care and concern for the well being of my cat. Would definitely recommend Sarah as a sitter.”
About: I've cared for dogs throughout college as a part-time job, gaining experience with both dog walking and pet sitting. I've walked dogs multiple times a week for several families and understand the importance of providing consistent care, attention, and exercise. I love being outdoors, running, and staying active, so your dog will get plenty of exercise while having a fun and safe experience. I'm currently working remotely part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility during the day. For those working 9-to-5 jobs, I'm available to walk, play with, and care for your pups while you're away! My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet in mine, I'll ensure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a safe environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
“Giovanna was amazing!! Drako loved being visited by her, she was very communicative with us and made sure we got pictures and updates on a visit baisis! We felt so happy and comfortable that our dog was being taken care by her! Definitely would recommend her with anyone that needs his/her dog taking care of! We would definitely will be thinking of her if we need someone to take care of our dog! Thanks Giovanna!!”
About: I have owned many different animals all my life from turtles, bearded dragons, chickens, dogs, and rabbits. Having the experience of owning all these different types of animals I have a very good understanding of each of them and am confident in taking care of each. I am currently in school so between the hours of 8-4 on weekdays I am typically not available. I am available during the weekend for boarding and if booked will dedicate my time to loving and taking care of your pet! I have a fenced in yard and a loving chocolate chocolate lab who loves having a play mate. There are lots of animals lover in this house so you animal will never be short on love and pets in this house.
“Sophie was amazing with my two cats! Both are rescues with their own unique quirks, and Sophie took it all in stride and provided incredible care. She communicated clearly and often, so I was never worried. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I'm a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals throughout my life. Growing up surrounded by pets taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and understanding each animal's unique personality and needs. Today, I work in healthcare, where compassion, attentiveness, and trust are at the core of everything I do. I bring those same qualities to every dog I care for, ensuring they receive safe, reliable, and loving attention while you're away. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, extra companionship, or a caring friend to keep them active and happy, you can count on me to treat them like family. Dog walking is a regular part of my weekly schedule, and I prioritize providing dependable, consistent care for every dog. I carefully plan my day to accommodate scheduled walks, ensuring each pet receives appropriate exercise, attention, and outdoor time based on their individual needs. I maintain clear communication with pet owners, arrive on time, and provide updates when requested. My goal is to ensure every walk is safe, enjoyable, and beneficial for the dog's physical and mental well-being. I provide safe, attentive walks tailored to each dog's energy level and needs. I ensure they get exercise, mental stimulation, water when needed, and plenty of positive reinforcement during our time together

Nichole was wonderful with our cats and cockatiels! She sent us photo updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pets warmed up to her surprisingly quickly, and it was clear they were well cared for. We will definitely be booking Nichole again for our future trips. Highly recommend!
McKenzie visited my two yorkies twice a day while I was away. This was the first time I had left without them, but they were very happy with her. They were fed well, and got treats, play time, and plenty of cuddles, McKenzie kept me informed about the dogs throughout my trip, and was very responsive when I texted and called. I highly recommend her services, and will rebook with her for my next trip in August.
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.
Katie is fantastic! She was an excellent care giver when a crisis arose. Mcat passed away in her care due to underlying conditions none of us knew about. Her quick response to get him to the er vet and contact my emergency contacts was amazing. I was out of reach at the time due to timezone differences. She did a great job handling such a difficult situation. I absolutely would hire her again.

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 July 2026, there are 17,494 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Silver 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 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.
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 Silver 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.
