“Katherine was so great and a pleasure to meet. She was prompt to our meet-n-greet, and super friendly with Leon. She did a great job communicating what she encountered during her first walk with Leon. I look forward to connecting with her again!”


“I have used Maura twice to feed my two cats and dog and to walk my dog this most recent time on short notice. My dog is older and takes a lot of time and patience to take for a walk. All my pets seemed healthy and happy when I got back.”

“Rachel was absolutely wonderful with our cats! She was reliable, caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout our trip with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cares about them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We came home to three very content kitties! We’re so grateful to have found her and would absolutely trust Rachel with them again. Highly recommend! ❤️”

“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!”

“Joe was a wonderful sitter! Responsive, attentive and engaging - he took such good care of our cat (and house) and he sent great photos and notes each day we were away!”
About: I used to work at a dog daycare, so I'm well trained, very used to dogs, and even experienced handling many rambunctious dogs at once, small, large, and extra large. I've had numerous dogs around all my life and am very well versed in dog. I'll greatly enjoy getting to know your dog and am well prepared to handle all temperaments and any medical issues. I know well how to respect the rules/training that any given dog is used to, and how to calm to nervous and homesick. I am working from home all day so your dog will never be lacking attention! I am extremely flexible for frequent/sudden walks, strict medication or feeding schedules, or preparations for special diets, etc. I have one friendly dog who can be either laid back or very ready to play all day, depending on the energy of the other dog around. We have multiple bedrooms and our dog is crate trained in case the dogs need to take time warming up to each other. There are many great parks walking distance from us, and some fenced areas where dogs can be let loose to play ball.
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs of varying sizes and natures. My first animals I took care of was my family pets when my parents would go somewhere. My cat lived to 23 and I loved caring for her. I’m currently a college student preparing to be a teacher. I have Fridays off and would love to serve my community’s pets. I love being around animals as a reset after the week so this would work well. I will ensure an understanding of the pet prior to walking or giving care. Showing them respect, patience, and love is essential. Playing enthusiastically and encouraging adventure on walks or simple tasks will be key.
“Jonathan was very responsive and took great care of our cats and dogs. He sent us several videos and photos of our pets each time he visited. We would book him again and would recommend him to others.”


About: I’m a dependable and compassionate pet lover with over five years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Since 2020, I’ve helped care for my family dog and have regularly pet sat for friends and family, including daily check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, administering medications when needed, and providing overnight care while they’re away. I’m also a foster volunteer with the Human Rescue Alliance, where I’ve cared for senior dogs and helped them adjust to new environments with patience and consistency. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior dogs, or independent cats, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’m a dental student with a flexible schedule. My schedule gives me open blocks of time throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with pets. I’m also available in the evenings and on weekends, making it easy to accommodate boarding or extended care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I’m experienced caring for dogs and cats through fostering, family pets, and pet sitting for friends and relatives. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll provide plenty of attention, playtime, updates, and lots of love so you can have peace of mind while you’re away
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the natural care, patience, and affection I bring to every pet I meet. Dogs truly have my heart! 🐾❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy. I'm attentive to each dog's unique personality, energy level, and routine. Whether it's a naturally playful puppy, or one who needs a little extra encouragement or a senior dog who enjoys a slower pace and gentle care, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I'm also reliable, detail oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents informed and reassured. For me, pet sitting isn't just a job; it's something I genuinely enjoy! 🐾🐶❤️ I'm currently taking a little break from my regular work, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule and would love to spend that time doing something I genuinely enjoy caring for animals! 🐾❤️ I love filling my days with walks, playtime, cuddles, and companionship, making sure each pet feels happy, loved, and well cared for. I'm happy to accommodate their routines and give them all the love, care, and attention they deserve! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their family is away! 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their familiar routines and make sure they feel just as happy and cared for as they would with their family. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether that means feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also respect each pet's personality and boundaries, giving them affection when they want it and space when they need it. I treat every home with care and respect, and I'm always happy to share updates and photos so pet parents can feel reassured knowing their furry loved ones are in good hands!
“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!”

“Dana provided thorough and timely updates while caring for my two cats. She also took care of a few of my plants and left them looking better than when I left, which I've found not too many pets sitters can do! I would definitely recommend Dana to anyone needing a competent and caring sitter for their pets.”


About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.
About: I attended two training classes with my own pet, a labrador, when I was a teenager. I love animals and understand they are a family member. I promise to show love and affection to your beloved companions. I am available for boarding, and available for walks after 6pm Mondays through Wednesdays and all day Thursdays through Sundays. Weekends I am usually at home meal-prepping, doing laundry and organizing my home. I already enjoy walking outside during the evenings and having the chance to walk your pet would be a nice opportunity to enjoy their company without the expense commitments of having a pet. I currently don't have any pets because I am working on saving up money to buy a house. I live in an apartment building that allows pets and has an elevator. I enjoy evening walks, so I decided to make some money while getting some fresh air after working inside an office during the day.
About: I adore animals of all shapes and sizes, from out smallest handheld friends to our rowdiest large pups. I have a sweet diabetic senior cat of my own. I am very comfortable administering insulin and other medications, as he's given me lots of practice. I also have two intelligent rabbits and enjoy providing engaging activity, enrichment, and thoughtful care. I am an active young professional with plenty of pet-loving time in my regular schedule. I have a car, so my travel throughout the DC area is quick and convenient. I am experienced with crate trained animals, free-roaming animals, small caged animals, and animals who reside primarily outdoors. I enjoy reading animals' body language and approaching all animals with respect for boundaries, trust, and comfort level.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Silver Spring
Mary is absolutely wonderful! I know that my cat Athena is in the best hands when under her care. Mary is always responsive, provides thorough updates, and snaps adorable photos. She has a repeat customer here and I would absolutely recommend her to care for other’s pets!!

Coral took fantastic care of our two cats while we were away for the weekend. It was clear from the meet and greet that she's a seasoned cat sitter, and she shared thorough updates for each drop in visit. We'd be very happy to have her care for our cats in the future and highly recommend her!

Kayla took fabulous care of Laguna when I had to leave town unexpectedly. Laguna had never had anyone come to the apartment before and Kayla was not only willing but it's clear she took good care of my girl in the drop-ins because when I got home she was happy and looking behind me like she was looking for Kayla.

Karen did an excellent job taking care of Chester and Kate. She spent time brushing, petting and playing with them. We enjoyed seeing Karen's daily updates and photos. In addition to taking great care of our kitties, Karen took packages for us. Thank you for all of your great work and support! Job well done!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Silver Spring is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 17,050 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Silver Spring. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
