“Kyrstin is awesome and so easy to get along with! She took notes during the meet and greet to make sure she knew everything prior to watching the kitties. Always had great updates throughout the visits and even left an adorable surprise at the end of her sitting time! We appreciate it, Kyrstin, can’t wait for you to watch the cats again!”

About: I grew up always having dogs in my family, and now I love caring for yours! I have fostered and cared for many puppies and dogs, and have adored every one! I give them lots of love, and help them feel at home. I have a lot of flexibility with my schedule, so I am here for you! Whether you just need a drop-in visit, a week's vacation, or something in between, I'm happy to help! I care for your pets in my home or yours. I am mature, experienced and trustworthy. I will treat your dog like they're my own so you can feel comfortable leaving them in my care. I love to let them cuddle on the couch, play with toys in the yard, and have gates available, if needed.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets my whole life! I grew up volunteering at animal shelters so I have plenty of hands on experience. I’ve been freelance pet sitting for about 5 years now. I have cat sit for 5 different families in the past. I never had a cat so I feel this helped me gain some cat experience. I’ve dog sat for senior dogs requiring special medication and have had senior dogs myself. I’m a huge animal lover and am so excited to meet your pups/ kitties! I’m perfect to call for mid day dog walking or a drop in visit when you’re at work! I’m currently unemployed and am looking forward to pet sitting/ dog walking full time! I am a very structured person so I will follow any and all directions that you leave for me. I will do as much as I can to make your pet feel at ease while you are on your family vacation, work trip, etc. I’ve been an animal lover all my life so I promise to give your pets the same love & affection that I do give to my own fur babies! I know everyone says that, but I truly enjoy being around animals!

“Bianca was excellent with my shy older cat. She made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care and, more importantly, made him feel comfortable (which is not easy)! I also really appreciated that around halfway through my trip she asked if there was anything she could do better or differently, which no other sitter has done before. Highly recommend and will definitely invite her to help with Knuckles again in the future!”

About: Hi, I'm Daniel! I live right here in Gaithersburg with my own dog — a Shiba Inu. If you know the breed, you know they're stubborn, independent, and definitely not for beginners. Caring for my Shiba every day has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read a dog's body language. I work from home, so I'm available when you need it most: midday weekday walks while you're at work. I treat every dog like my own — unhurried walks at your dog's pace, a fresh water check when we get back, and a photo update after every walk so you can see how it went. Big dogs, shy dogs, and strong pullers are all welcome — my Shiba trained me well. Looking forward to meeting your pup! i work fully remotely at home,so normally i have flexible time during lunch and afternoon after 5,let me know your requirement,other time open to discuss,normally no same day reservation, but if need, also can let me know, I will check my schedlue to help Safety comes first on every visit. I follow your instructions exactly — how to enter and lock up, alarm codes, and where your dog's leash, harness, and treats are kept. Before we head out, I double-check the collar and harness fit and the leash clip. Your dog stays leashed for the entire walk: I keep a secure grip and a safe distance from unknown dogs, and I always clean up after your dog. In wet or muddy weather, I wipe paws before we come back inside. Once home, I refresh the water bowl, make sure your dog is settled, and lock up carefully. You'll receive photo updates after every walk, and I'll flag anything unusual right away.

About: I have been around animals all of my life. Growing up we had cats, dogs, mice, rabbits, hamsters, fish, lizards, and other animals. I have some experience with senior dogs as I have watched my parents 16 year old dachsund. I have pet sat for large and small dogs. I am usually the first contact from my friends to take care of their pets when they are away. I will always follow your instructions to make sure your pet does not have a gap in their schedule/care. I also have experience administering oral medication (liquid/pill) as well as ear medication and would be happy to provide that if needed. I would really love to meet your fur baby and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. A little about myself. I am a 37 year old male. I am fairly active and enjoy hiking, camping, rock climbing, and board games. I am originally from around Buffalo, NY and moved to Maryland in 2018 for work. I love Montgomery County and plan to stay here for a while. I am currently unemployed and looking to supplement my small income while doing something that I love. This would help keep me on my feet while I look for another job. I am always open to meet and greets if this is something that would make you more comfortable. My approach with new animals has always been to allow the pet time to adapt to a new person. I try to let the pets smell me and introduce themselves. I am patient and make sure to take introductions slow until I feel like we have been acquainted. I always ensure to be careful when opening doors and locking up the home. I am familiar with different pet harnesses and leads. When I have someone else's pet that I am less familiar with, I will make sure to keep them away from other animals and children unless specified by the owner. Last, I am familiar with food items that are dangerous to pets and make sure that those will never be an issue. I will never feed your pet anything that was not provided by you.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2000 and cats since I was 8. From kitten, puppies to senior dogs and cats, I love them all. I will care for your pet like they were my own. I currently work from home everyday. I can walk dogs before work, pet sit all day, or watch them in the evening or overnight. I am available for long stays as well. I have no pets at this time so your pet can be comfortable and roam around freely. I can feed, play with and give lots of attention.

About: I’ve been caring for other people’s dogs and cats for years, with my experience caring for pets going all the way back to my teens. For the past two years, I’ve especially loved walking and doing drop-in visits for dogs in my neighborhood, and I’ve also cared for cats through house sitting and drop-in visits over the years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each fur baby, learning their personality and routine, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets. After having such wonderful experiences using Rover for my own fur babies, I decided it was time to join the sitter side and share that same kind of care with other families! 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes welcoming another fur baby into my home an easy fit! I personally provide all care, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and love throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, and bedtime routine as closely as possible. Your fur baby will be welcomed into my dog-loving home with a fully fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who love having company! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship throughout the day. I walk my dogs regularly and would love to include your fur baby in our walks when appropriate. I’ll personally provide their care and follow their normal feeding, potty, sleeping, and care routines as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while their humans are away.

About: With 13+ years of hands-on dog care, I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. As a proud owner of an XL doodle and a dachshund, I understand that every dog has unique needs. I’m patient, attentive, active, and genuinely passionate about making every pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while in my care. What sets me apart is the personal attention and genuine love I bring to every dog, treating them like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working part time as a marketing assistant. I work in the office from 9am to 4:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays! With a car and living close by to work it’s easy for me to do quick drop ins and walks for local pup owners! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether caring for your dog in my home or in yours, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, pay close attention to their needs and behavior, and make sure they receive plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection. As a longtime dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I’ll treat your pet with the same patience, care, and love I give my own dogs.

About: I lived for about a year with a family with a playful, energetic, 40-pound, 4-and-a-half-year-old lab mix named Ivy: a former shelter dog who took a while to adjust to the house and to regular walks. The learning experience taking care of her and loving her was both unique and wonderful. She was my most memorable long-term doggy care experience, and it taught me a lot. I can feed, brush and play (inside or outside) with your dog, take him or her out for walks and potty breaks, and give your dog all the love, care and attention they need while you're away. I can also stay overnight to watch your dog, and take him or her to the vet in the event of an emergency. I'm available all day on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays for dog walking, drops ins and house sitting.

I am a college freshman, who will be starting the school year soon and will not be going to school far. I'll be able to only work certain days in the week due to school. Scheduling can be discussed during the booking process. I will review the needs of the client pertaining to their individual needs and their pets individual needs before and during my visit with them.

About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and breeds since I was a child, and I can’t imagine it any other way! From toy poodles to Rottweilers, dogs have always been fundamental members of our family. I have also watched numerous cats for friends and family over the years, and I’ve made several furry friends along the way! I have open availability for pet care during the weekends, and I am available during weekdays from 10-5 (hours may be modified to better fit a client’ schedule). I have a 2 year old Bernadoodle named Lily! She is exceptionally sweet and great with other animals, so your pet will always have a furry friend nearby! If you prefer, I can also keep your animal separated from Lily as I have several portable gates. Pets are always treated as members of the family with ample love, attention, and belly rubs!

About: I have owned 5 small dogs in the past 20yrs and have taken cared of different kinds of dogs as well. I have experience with puppies and seniors, big and small dogs, administering medication. I currently have 3 little dogs - an intact Frenchie and a pair of Chihuahua-JRT siblings that are spayed and neutered. I can read most dogs’ body language, and have learned from first hand experience that even the ‘friendliest’ dogs can have their triggered moments. So I always make a conscious effort to feed each dog separately and look out for triggering behaviors like resource-guarding. I work from home so your pup will rarely be left alone. I have a single family home with a big front and back yard that are fenced so they can run around. I’m flexible with pick up and drop offs and cancellations. I understand things happen, and plans change. I am happy to work with you on your requests. Rest assured that I will treat your pups like I would want mine to be treated when I’m away! I let my dogs out every 2hrs or whenever they want to go play since we have a fenced front and back yard. So your dogs will too! I work from home so I can keep your dog company all day. Our dogs usually get an afternoon treat in between meals, and again before bed.

Brooke has been a Godsend to me and my fur baby, Henry. I’ve used her for all my cat sitting needs recently because she is so thoughtful, communicative and responsible. My cat is quite shy and has warmed to her - I recommend any nervous cats to be in her care. She also helped me out last minute due to a family emergency. She was very flexible and responsive, cleaned out my fridge and even brought over litter to help when I ran out. She is my favourite cat sitter 🤍

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Travilah

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Travilah is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $24 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 16,810 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Travilah. 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 Travilah. On Rover:

  • 84% 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.
