About: I have always had a deep love for animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. As a pet parent myself, I know that pets are family, and they deserve care that feels safe, loving, and personalized. My experience includes caring for dogs in a home environment, supporting daily routines, providing walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and giving pets the patience and attention they need while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, habits, and care instructions so their routine feels as familiar and stress-free as possible. I am also the founder of Lovebugs & Co. Pet Care, a boutique pet care service created for pet parents who want reliable, thoughtful, and loving care. My approach is calm, attentive, and detail-oriented. I believe in clear communication, regular updates, and treating every pet with the same care and affection I would want for my own. Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I currently work from home in a flexible remote environment, which allows me to be present, attentive, and available throughout the day. This makes it easy for me to provide regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, companionship, and a calm home environment. Because my schedule is flexible, I can build pet care around each pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive consistent attention and care while their family is away. Safety, trust, and comfort are very important to me. For pets cared for in my home, I provide a calm, cozy, and supervised environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest time, medication instructions if needed, and any special care notes provided by the pet parent. Before boarding, I like to learn about each pet’s personality, behavior, comfort level, triggers, and routine so I can make sure my home is a good fit. I keep the environment clean, peaceful, and secure, and I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents feel confident while they are away. For walks and drop-in visits in a client’s home, I treat the home with care and respect. I make sure pets have fresh water, food if requested, potty breaks, litter box care if needed, playtime, companionship, and a quick check of their overall comfort and behavior. I also make sure doors, gates, crates, and leashes are secure before leaving. My goal is always to provide dependable, loving care while keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on a routine that feels familiar to them.

About: I currently work at a veterinary hospital, where caring for animals is part of my daily routine. I have hands-on experience with feeding, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and handling pets of all temperaments. I also have cats of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, comfort, and routine. I’m confident caring for both dogs and cats, including those that may need extra attention, and I always treat every pet like my own. I work Monday through Friday at a veterinary hospital, so I’m already actively caring for animals throughout the day. I’m available for pet care services in the evenings after work and fully available on weekends. My schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while still giving your pet plenty of attention and time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my experience in a veterinary setting, I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or unusual behavior. I take time to learn each pet’s routine and needs to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment and follow all instructions closely.

About: I have grown up caring for pets my whole life. I had several cats as well as dogs as a child and I learned from a young age to both respect and engage these animals as part of our family in a gentle and loving manner. I believe that taking the time to allow an animal get to know you and accept your energy and presence is most important for quality care. Taking the time to do this allows me to get to know each animal and get a sense of their personality and needs. I have quick reflexes and I am a very active person, so not only will I keep your pet safe, but I will also ensure that they are well-exercised and happy during their outing.

About: I’m fairly new to pet care, but after spending 4 year as a care giver, I want to give my second passion a chance which is taking care of dogs and cats. Currently I’m working part-time, but I’m also looking to go full time in the near future. With that being said, I have a lot of time on my hands and fully committed to give your pups and cats unconditional love when needed! House Sitting I’m Available only on weekends. Drop-Ins and Walks I’m available from 2PM to 10PM on weekdays and weekends depending on my schedule! While for boarding I’m currently unable to I will always no matter what have a good ear and eye out for any animal at all times. For walks a leash will be on at all times. For both drop-ins and walks, I will always make sure that any animal is healthy and happy before doing any tasks in doors or outdoors.

About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care under my belt, I've honed a deep understanding of both canine and feline needs. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts—and from curious kittens to laid-back lap cats—I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’ve also supported a pup with aggression issues through his stressful times, giving me valuable experience in patience, awareness, and calm handling. My background includes administering medications, maintaining clean and comfortable litter boxes, and providing specialized care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Trust me to bring expertise and genuine affection to every walk, cuddle, and visit with your furry family members. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, with availability after my 8-4 job Monday through Friday, and all day on weekends. I'm dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care that complements your schedule and ensures your pets are happy and well-looked after. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring consistency with their regular routine. I also provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime, maintaining open communication with you to keep you updated on your pet's well-being.

About: Reliable and attentive pet sitter with proven experience providing comfort and care to both dogs and cats. I have been the proud fur mama to my own puff balls: Ghost, a male Cane Corso (May 2020 – April 2025, crossed the rainbow bridge), and Gumbo, a male domestic shorthair tabby cat, currently 7 months old (adopted at 2 months). I have the patience and adaptability to care for all temperaments, including shy, stubborn, anxious, skittish, high-energy, and aggressive pets. My priority is to tailor my care style to meet your pet's needs, ensuring the most enjoyable stay possible and putting both you and your pet at ease. I am willing to facilitate any training or routines you want to maintain for your pet while you’re away, administer medicine, and provide light grooming (hair detangling/combing, baths, teeth brushing, etc.) for an added fee. My cat is free-roaming and very friendly, but I can provide isolated areas for your cat(s) and mine if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies, whether they stay with me or I drop in for some fun fur auntie time! Pet care is a normal part of the routine, recent long time dog owner (5 years, passed rainbow bridge 04/2025). I work from home 2 days a week and typically home on weekends. Was owner to an adult mastiff/cane corso and so, regular walks, attention, and play are a part of my daily and weekly routine. I have stubborn pup who scales the spectrum between very obedient to going full on sas and temper tantrum, so I am comfortable with all types of temperaments of dogs. If you allow joint play, I will allow it supervised by myself, or if your pup prefers 1:1 time - I will divide crate and play time between my dog and yours separately. Large dogs - will alternate with my dog having one be crated at night and throughout the day outside of scheduled play time, walks, and potty breaks to allow less frustration across both for freedom.and saftey, but I can accommodate dogs who are not crate trained and crate my pup if needed - his crate is like his tiny house - he enjoys it. Small dogs, unless otherwise requested, will take priority for free reign throughout the day/uncrated. I live in a quiet neighborhood, much traffic, and it has quiet short walking trails with trees; I have a small fenced back yard as well for roaming. I do not board rottweilers, huskies, malamutes, or male pit bulls due to my dog's disposition of them, but can do check-ins and 1:1 dog walks with these breeds.

About: I bring a lifelong, genuine love for animals paired with hands on experience. From dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, I’ve cared for them all with patience, attentiveness, and love. Growing up with animals shaped my natural instinct to understand their needs, personalities, and little quirks, and over the years I’ve continued that care by looking after pets for friends and family throughout my teens. Whether it’s keeping a routine, giving extra cuddles, or making sure even the smallest details are just right, I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and comforting environment so both pets and their owners can feel completely at ease. I’m currently in college and taking online courses so I’m able to be home most of the day if necessary. I’ll be able to take them out and give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I will follow any all instructions by the owner and follow their usual schedule to make sure the pet is comfortable at all times. I’ll make sure to keep the owner’s updated and send them pictures so they know they’re pet is well taken care of!

Goldie Loves Milanni! Milanni is someone I can count on for drop-ins or boarding when I’m traveling around the world. I appreciate how easy it is to communicate with her and she confidently takes care of business without any worry. Goldie appreciates Milanni being part of her caregiving community when I am away. I recommend Milanni for your pet and caregiving needs.

About: As a passionate pet owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of keeping your dog happy, healthy, and active. With a love for all breeds and a commitment to personalized care, I offer dog walking services that go beyond just a quick stroll. Whether it’s a lively adventure or a calm, scenic walk, I treat your furry friend like my own—ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. Let me help give your dog the best walk of their day! I work from home and have a car. I’m open to early morning walks and evenings. I can also provide support during most weekends and holidays. One pet has a special diet and since I have 3 in total, they all eat the same. That way I know whether any issues are truly with one pet or there is another issue with the environment or food.

Amoy took great care of my cat Penny while I was away for Thanksgiving break. When my return flight was unexpectedly cancelled, she was incredibly flexible with additional last-minute visits, which was a huge relief. Penny is a senior cat with acid reflux issues, and Amoy handled cleaning up after her when she had flare-ups. I also really appreciated that her daughter spent time playing with Penny. She gets lonely when she’s by herself, so the extra attention meant a lot.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Upper Marlboro on Rover is $36.63 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 7,321 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Upper Marlboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Upper Marlboro. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
