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.
“Valerie did a great job with my kitties. She kept me informed about what they were doing while I was away and sent tons of pictures. I miss my cats when I’m traveling but I know they were in good hands with Valarie and I loved getting pictures and videos everyday.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels, including my own Husky/Lab mix. Through caring for my dog and helping friends and family with their pets, I have gained experience with feeding, walking, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and providing companionship. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am committed to providing safe, reliable, and loving care while treating your pet like family. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I can accommodate a variety of schedules and will do my best to work around your pet's routine. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or companionship while you're away, I am happy to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and daily routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I strive to provide patient, attentive, and loving care. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Nicole took great care of my two cats while we were away. Very thorough and she made sure litter boxes were clean and tidy every day. And my normally shy/if they don’t know you cats loved her, even letting her give them pets!”
“Uduak was wonderful! She was communicative with my husband and I, and very patient with my pup who is not comfortable with new people. Uduak followed instructions to a tee, and also used her discernment in caring for Mozzy (even cleaning up an accident he had without us requesting she do so). 10 out of 10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.”
“Imani is great! She is communicative and excellent at following instructions. Her dog ace is well trained and makes for an excellent companion dog on her visits. We look forward to having her as our long-term pet sitter. HIGHLY recommend. ☺️”
“Great service. Taylor kept in touch with me the entire time. My BigBoy was taken great care of and Thank you for the extras you took care of too. Will definitely use her again.”
“I highly recommend Ashely. She demonstrated exceptional care, visiting three times a day to shower our pets with love. Not only did she attend to their needs, but she also went the extra mile by bringing in mail and packages, taking plenty of adorable pictures, and cleaning up any messes. Trustworthy and attentive, she exceeded our expectations.”
About: Elated to meet new fur babies! Children X Dogs ✔️ Expect your baby to be cared for as one of my own, this work fills my heart with joy! Can’t wait to meet your babies. Home from college and I work from home, sometimes I might go in once or twice a week. Phone is always in hand, pretty open/ flexible schedule. I have respect for homes, rules and of course, all pets. I also understand the importance of having things done in a routinely manner. As a person of routine and rules, do great with clear instructions.
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: 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.
“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: What sets me apart is my background in healthcare and senior care, which has strengthened my compassion, patience, reliability, and attention to detail. As a former pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. Whether I'm providing drop in visits, walks, or daytime sitting, I make sure each pet receives personalized care, attention, and plenty of love while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As someone who has cared for pets of my own, I'm already accustomed to making time for feeding, walks, playtime, and providing companionship. My schedule allows me to offer drop in visits, walks, and daytime sitting throughout the week, and I enjoy incorporating pet care into my day. I understand the importance of consistency and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I know pets are most comfortable in their own environment, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I'll follow your instructions and make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I also respect your home and believe in keeping open communication, so you'll always know how your pet is doing.

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.

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 Upper Marlboro 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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
