“Anh took terrific care of our pups. She was responsive, sending daily updates and getting in touch with any questions she had about dog care. I absolutely recommend her for puppy care and will request her for future needs.”
“This was our first outing with Alayza, and she is now on our go-to list! She got to know 2 older dogs that aren't always simple - and both gave her high marks! They quickly wanted to hang close to her!”
“Ada was amazing!! This was my first time using the App and she made me feel so comfortable. She agreed to a meet and greet prior to my house sitting dates and my dogs loved her instantly. She was very communicative and kept me informed on everything. As this was my first time leaving my babies with anyone outside of family, we were all a bit nervous and hoping this was a good match. My mom even checked in with Ada and she was totally cool with. My mom and dog both have dogs and we are pretty certain Ada has 3 new clients. Ada maintained my home wonderfully. She really was patient with and understanding and I would recommend her 10/10, especially for new clients.”
“Aliyah stayed at our house to take care of our dog and cat while we were on vacation. She was great -- responsive and reliable. Our dog and cat were very happy when we got home. I highly recommend her.”
“Mark was amazing with our dog, going above and beyond with him when we were out of town. We have a high energy dog and mark took him on several long walks. He was really great about sending photos too! And he took great care of our cat , checking on her multiple times . We look forward to working with him again soon!”
“Keisha saved our Christmas plans! When our sitter canceled last minute, it was such a relief when Keisha was so willing to do a same-day meet and greet, and stay with my elderly dog for the week of Christmas. She was responsive the whole time, and we returned to a happy dog and clean house. She even treated Marley to a Christmas present, which was so sweet!”
“Niani kept me posted throughout the house sitting and sent lots of pictures and videos which was really helpful! My cat took some time but eventually got very comfortable and talkative. Thanks Niani for taking great care of Jamun!”
“Kayla was an amazing sitter for Asja during my time away! I am very particular about my dog and can normally gauge from the meet and greet if the sitter is a good fit. The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost a week and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my Asja. I highly recommend Kayla and plan to use her for future sittings.”
“Kai was amazing with our dogs. Rafa is usually slow to warm but he like Kai right away. And when these tourists got lost and were so late he stayed well after the agreed time. He did great walking them and keeping them entertained.”
About: Hi! I have been a pet parent for most of my life. I enjoy helping others in my community feel safe and less stressed with leaving their loved ones with someone! I can adjust to your needs and make things easy as possible. I usually respond very quickly and I am open to short notices as well! I am currently building an app and finishing up my Masters degree. I am looking for something to earn income while I finish strong on these projects. I have 3 rooms, I have doggy parks, normal parks, and various pet stores near me and vets for emergencies. I have an experienced pet owner besides myself available as well. I clean every two days in general and I clean my cats litter 1-2 times a day depending as well.
“Stephanie was very prompt in replies and very cordial. She was also prompt in arriving and took amazing care of our fur babies, making sure they each had time with her. She gave us detailed updates regularly with pics and video, and there was even a crime situation on our block, which Stephanie handled calmly. I would highly recommend Stephanie!”
“Shannon was amazing with my dog Cash while I was away for a few days! Shannon provided daily pictures and videos, as well as updates as to how he was doing. I was very impressed with how detailed she was in her updates, and I didn’t worry at all about him while I was away! I highly recommend Shannon!”
“Mya was great sitting for our dog storm. She kept him well entertained and sent us lots of updates and pictures. We will definitely use her again, storm was very happy when we got home.”
“Elmer was fantastic. I had to head out of town last minute for an extended period of time (2 and a half weeks). Elmer had such a great demeanor, got along easily with my dog and was totally fine sleeping over so my dog would be able to stay at home while I was gone. Elmer sent lot's of pictures, both of walks and meals but also just hanging out with my dog. He was also a perfect house guest, the place was spotless when I came back and my dog was in great spirits despite being gone for a long time. Clear and easy communication, great service, would book again for an overnight.”
“Kymberlee is wonderful and was so attentive with our two big dogs and two cats. We received updates and silly photos of the animals. Even though we had to change plans due to the snowstorm, she stayed flexible and kept us updated about everything. We would highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely Amazing! Highly recommend. Very patient with our stressed German Shepard mix, she really took the time to work with him and was able to to balance his personality and needy behaviors along with our cat and her personality. Can’t say enough how I appreciate her help. Lucky to have found her.”
“We had such a wonderful experience! He stayed at our house over the holiday weekend and cared for our dog, our cat, and even our foster cat. From the start, he put all of our worries at ease with regular updates and pictures, and it was clear how much he genuinely loves animals. All of our pets were happy and well cared for when we got home. On top of that, he was respectful of our home and left everything in great shape. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, caring help!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Suitland
Trina was absolutely amazing! She kept me fully informed with regular updates throughout the entire stay, which gave me total peace of mind. To make things even better, my travel plans got seriously delayed on my way home, and Trina was incredibly responsible and accommodating. She immediately adjusted her own schedule to cover the extra time needed until I could get back. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again!
Oksana was absolutely phenomenal, and we could not have asked for a better person to care for our dogs, Bo and Kobi. She was professional, reliable, and treated them with so much care and attention. Despite the summer heat and temperatures reaching 95 degrees, Oksana consistently took Bo and Kobi on walks once or twice a day and made sure they stayed happy and well cared for. She also looked after our home and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs’ well being. We returned home to two happy pups and a house that had been well looked after. We would recommend Oksana without hesitation. She exceeded our expectations, and we would gladly trust her with Bo and Kobi again. Thank you, Oksana, for taking such great care of our family!
Kayla was an amazing sitter for Asja during my time away! I am very particular about my dog and can normally gauge from the meet and greet if the sitter is a good fit. The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost a week and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my Asja. I highly recommend Kayla and plan to use her for future sittings.
Emily provided fantastic care for my dog Nutmeg! She sent frequent updates, asked great questions about his needs, bonded with him at his own pace, and was flexible with times. I came back to a happy pup and a spotless apartment. Would absolutely recommend and I will be asking her to care for Nutmeg again.
Ada has easily become our number 1 sitter for the foreseeable future! She was absolutely wonderful! From the update summaries to the pictures, my babies were well taken care of. She even gave special attention to my senior baby and made me feel completely comfortable about leaving her for our trip. 1000/10 would recommend!
Natalie is an outstanding sitter. She is super professional and intentional with caregiving. Our dogs got plenty of exercise, stayed on their schedule, and got a ton of extra attention while we were away. We received updates and photos throughout. Natalie stayed in our home, and communicated any home related issues and took wonderful care of our space. You won’t regret booking! We look forward to working with Natalie again in the future.
Mickela was a fantastic sitter! She sent regular updates with lots of photos, she was super attentive to Rowdy’s needs, and was great about communication. Rowdy absolutely adored her and I would definitely book with her again. As a bonus, I came home to a house cleaner than I left it. I would absolutely recommend Mickela to any of my friends.
I am a first time Rover user, and was for a long time very wary of allowing strangers to take care of my fur babies. Roy, unequivocally, is the reason this site works. Roy communicated often, thoroughly, and was even patient when we had app difficulties and my communication lapsed. Roy took care of my two dogs and one cat and provided stimulation and lots of cuddles. We came home to a house that was pristine and three happy and healthy pets. As I told Roy personally, having the peace of mind to actually enjoy the vacation is nearly invaluable. We are very thankful to Roy and will definitely be booking again should the time come!
Jayla was absolutely phenomenal with our pups. They can be nervous, especially when we leave town, but they were more calm than we have ever seen them when we got back. Jayla was quick to communicate and clearly took great care of them. Plus she was an amazing house guest and took our mail in as well. Highly recommend!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Suitland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Suitland on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,466 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Suitland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Suitland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Suitland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Suitland 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Suitland. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
