About: I have been around cats and Dogs my whole life. I'm willing to get to know you and your fur babies. I'm the proud pet parent of two lovely cat boys, Dusty and Babaloo (I love Lucy lore 😊). I also have experience with different kinds of dogs. I'm available on weekday from 4:00 pm - 10:00 pm (later if needed). On weekends I'm usually off from work so I'm available any time. I'm more than happy to care for your pet at your home. I know pets feel safer in the their own home /environment. I will work with you and follow your directions because no one knows your pet more then you do.
About: Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I’m a dependable, caring dog lover who will treat your pet like family, whether we’re enjoying a fun walk, getting plenty of exercise, or relaxing with extra affection. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I make time to provide attentive, loving care, follow each pet’s regular schedule, and ensure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I am an online student who would love scheduled breaks during the day to walk and enjoy the company of a furry friend. I provide attentive, loving care, follow your instructions carefully, maintain their regular routine, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping it clean, secure, and just as I found it.
About: I have worked with animals my entire life in both a casual and professional setting. As a teenager I worked with horses, dogs, and cats on a farm providing training and medical care. I have also worked professionally as an animal caretaker in the Frederick/Montgomery County area with many clients including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, chickens, ducks, and pigs. I have experience with animals who have specialized needs including medical care and behavioral issues. I currently work as an RN in adolescent psych which takes me away from home all day Sunday-Tuesday so unfortunately those days are unavailable. Otherwise I do pick up overtime here and there so I’m best to cover for one-off needs or a vacation. When I am off of work I can be flexible and I will work with you to accommodate your pets needs. Safety is a top priority of mine. I always ensure I am aware of my surroundings both in the home and on walks. I respect each animal as unique and independent and take the time to ensure not only that I am providing them with lots of love but that I get to know them and their quirks in order to provide them the best care possible.
About: I've always been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I have experience with cats and dogs, puppy/kitten to seniors! I can walk,bathe, feed, brush, play, cuddle, etc. I have experience with varying sizes as well as special care such as medication. I am available most of the time! I am currently going to school full time online so I will be able to stay most of the day! 24/7 I will check all doors and fences to ensure the animal can't get out. I will also check leashes,collars, etc. to ensure walks will be safe. Ensure the environment is clean,safe, and nurturing!
“Kaylie did a great job. Loved the information after each visit and especially the dog pictures. Thank you for taking time out of your Christmas holiday to care for our fur babies!”
About: My names is Keyan (I go by KJ). I have been a dog dad for 10 years! I have a boxer pit mix! I have watched other friends dogs over the past years and have been doing Rover for almost two years now . I enjoy helping because we know how the need for help is ALWAYS there. I look forward to becoming your favorite sitter/walker! I work from home and am a dog dad so there is no day where I am not taking care of a dog (unless traveling). I work a standard “9-5” Mon-Fri but have pretty relaxed time after work and on weekends! I currently only am coming to pets where I do dog walks or dog sittings but whatever instructions I am provided I will be sure to follow as to give peace of mind to you while I take care of your four legged friend
About: I have worked with pets since I started working at all. My first job was at a pet store, and since then I have years of experience working in San Diego as a vet assistant and a shelter animal tech at the local humane society. I also have my own wonderful pets and have tons of exotic pet experience as well as cats and dogs from my many jobs over the years. I was also a lab animal tech before too! I love animals of all shapes and sizes and would be happy to take care of yours. Currently I do not have another job and I only plan on going back to school later in the year so I have plenty of free time to care for your pets. I love walking dogs and caring for cats so much. I have walked many kinds of dogs of many different sizes and temperaments especially as an animal caretaker at the behavioral center in the San Diego humane society. Safety is important to me and I will make sure your pets are safe and well cared for.
“Tori was amazing, going over and above what we expected. She showed up daily not just to feed and provide the basic care, but staying to keep company with our dog, Jackson. I can’t say enough good things about Tori. We’ll definitely call on her again.”
About: I have loved and vare for dogs since I was a child! Now, I have built a reliable reputation throughout Frederick and the surrounding DC area by taking care of countless dogs. Golden-doodles, Basset hounds, Newfoundlands, mixed breeds, you name it! My experience and care shows through my happy clients (and their owners)! I have experience with dogs who need specialized care, medications, and have behavioral concerns. Since I usually dogsit off of Rover, I have included a few photos of my frequent clients! I am a full-time graduate student in Washington, D.C., so my availability will depend on my commute. My schedule will fit best with a dog who is okay being alone for a few hours while I attend class in the afternoons. I can easily re-crate dogs if need be. I always write a note or text message explaining what times your dog went out, played, etc. I have worked with very anxious dogs who need time to warm up to new people. With those cases, I know how to take my time and assess the dog's behavior to understand how to make them the most comfortable.
“Kassidy did a great job popping in to check on my senior dog. She gave him his medication, gave him fresh water, switched out his food, and provided pictures during her check ins. Kassidy was nice and did a great job communicating. I would definitely use her again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s a part of my everyday life. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old, and I have pets of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs playtime or a senior cat who just wants a calm, cozy space, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. As an adult student with a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I love having that extra time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve — whether that means daily walks, play sessions, feeding, or just being there to keep them company. My schedule allows me to be dependable, responsive, and available when pet parents need someone they can count on. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel right at home. I stick to their usual routines — feeding times, walks, medication if needed — and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep their pets on a familiar schedule. I take time to bond with each pet, provide updates to the owners, and make sure their home stays clean and secure while they’re away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, love, and full attention to their needs.
“She did an amazing job! Loved all the love and attention I for the animals that I could easily see come through in the photos. I’ll definitely use her next time I need to travel!”
About: Hi, I’m Giovanni. I'm a dependable beginner dog walker and pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. While I'm just getting started professionally, I am responsible, patient, and committed to giving every pet the care, attention, and kindness they deserve. I’m currently working a full time job so my availability is anytime before 4pm from Tuesday to Saturday. My availability for Sunday-Monday is anytime, open availability. I would like to have a conversation with the specific client to see what their needs and comfort level. Every client is different so understanding my client is best to meet their expectations.
About: Hello! This is my first time using Rover and I am so excited! Here’s a little bit about myself….I’m currently a senior at the University of Maryland. I am someone who loves being around animals and making sure that they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Since I was little girl I’ve had many pets of all kinds. Even to the point where people would call my house a “petting zoo”. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or energetic, I take the time to understand who they are and give them the attention that they deserve!☺️ I’m currently on summer break so I have more time in my week to provide flexible scheduling for pet sitting💕 I am open to chat more about hours through direct message 😊 I have experience with all different kinds of pets. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine by following feeding schedules, providing exercise and playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I make sure pets feel secure and cared for, whether in my home or a client’s home. As someone who has a dog of my own, I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your loved one, especially if they mean so much to you. As an animal lover, I promise to do my very best to take care of them as if they were my own.🐾
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats. We do tend to spoil them. I have lots of room for them to run and play in our fenced in yard. We walk them on a leash through our nearby cemetery. I currently work part time with Amazon flex. I will always be available if I have any pet jobs as Amazon flex is very flexible. I’m available for home and pet sitting. I have a fenced in back yard and currently own 1 miniature Daschund female 2 years old to help keep your furry friends playing or if needed I can use a crate with permission only.
About: We used to board rescue german short haired pointer dogs when I was growing up. I have also grown up with different kinds of dogs throughout my life. I have my own dog who I walk at least 2 to 3 times a day. She is a very energetic and active dog that keeps me busy. In the past I have tried my best to care for other people's pets with the same care I would do for my own dog.

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.
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 Walkersville 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!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
