“Brianne was amazing with my cat Goose. She kept me updated and followed his feeding instructions perfectly. She played with him and kept him company and he was a happy boy when I got home. Couldn’t ask for better.”
“Dymond was wonderful with my cat! Very responsive, caring, and easy to communicate with. This was my first time leaving my cat since adopting her and I felt very comfortable doing so knowing Dymond would be checking in on her!”
“Kyrstin was wonderful taking care of our two cats while we were gone for a week! She kept us very updated and shared a lot of photos. She managed medication administration for one of our cats as well. We would trust her over and over again to take care of our boys 💙🐾”
“Jay is wonderful with my dogs. They are always so happy when he shows up and my little one eats better for him than she does me. Lol. It's so wonderful to come home to healthy happy dogs who didn't have to be kenneled because we went away. Jay is a Godsend in our busy lives and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting great care for their babies.”
“Theresa was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties when we were away. Kept us updated with photos and descriptions of her visits. Very responsive via text/email. Will happily book again!”
“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: Can’t promise any training but they’ll be loved and cared for under my care! Whether your dog may be dog aggressive or the most playful, I have experience with my own with different personalities. I currently work remote and have a flexible schedule to do some drop ins and quick hang sessions/walks with your fur babies Mon-Fri. While my kids are in school, I’d be happy to stop and care for your pet! My dogs are my 2 other babies and I’ll be sure to care for your pets with the same care and respect with any specific instructions if need be.
“Skylar was absolutely amazing. This was my first experience with using Rover and she made me feel comfortable to leave my kitty in good hands. She alsi paid close attention to my needs and was very understanding. She also sent photos of my kitty to make me feel my Pebbles was doing ok. Thank you! ?”
“Julia has been wonderful! Really great with my young pup who can be difficult to handle at times, but he loves her! Julia is super responsive, always on time, and more than willing to assist us even if an issue arises last second. I highly recommend her services!”
About: Hi! I'm Darling, and I'm someone who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. While I'm new to Rover, I've always loved spending time with dogs and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'm responsible, patient, and detail-oriented, and I'll care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playing fetch, cuddle time, or simply relaxing, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

I'm currently available with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or plenty of playtime, I'm happy to work around their routine. I believe consistency is important, so I'll follow your pet's feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and at ease. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'll carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and exercise routines.

I'll also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Rene is absolutely fantastic. She was always prompt, diligent and so caring for our cat. This was our first time leaving Milo. Rene immediately put us at ease. She communicated constantly. She came prior to the scheduled visits to meet Milo, who loved Rene instantly. During the visits, Rene sent us pictures of Milo. She did “all the things” (litterbox, food, water etc), probably more carefully than we do at home haha. Rene even brushed Milo, which was above and beyond. We are so happy Rene took care of our pet. We can’t say enough good things about Rene.”
About: Ive been taking care of a four year old Rottweiler and frenchton since they were two weeks old. I have experience with handling and training a reactive large dog as well as handling a small dog with strict personal boundaries. I take care of a variety of animals regularly. I take care of a cat every day by playing with her, feeding her, and cleaning her litter box. Every night before bed I do 10 to 15 minutes of playtime to wear her out for the night. I do pet care for dogs as well, I take them on walks, play with them, give them attention they need, and feed them as well as make sure they have water at all times. For one of my clients, I watch their border collie. He needs extra activity and playtime because the breed tends to be very energetic. I take him out on walks, take him to the neighborhood dog park, and I play with him and his toys inside the apartment. I feed him twice a day, once in the morning, once at night. He let's me know when he needs to use his grass mat outside. Another one of my clients, her dog has separation anxiety and needs lots of attention. I also spend time playing with him, taking him on walks outside, and feeding him twice a day. He is different because he has lots of boundaries, but is a very cuddly and loving dog overall.
“Amanda was amazing! We needed last minute drop in visits, and Amanda was very responsive to our request. She gave detailed recaps every visit + photos of what they did throughout the time. Our dog is a little timid when it comes to new people but she adjusted to Amanda IMMEDIATELY! 10/10 definitely booking again”
About: I love animals very much. I can always establish a good interactive relationship with pets and help them adapt to the new environment quickly. By observing and perceiving their needs, I can provide timely help and let them spend a relaxing and happy time. I have also taken care of many older dogs and know how to feed them medicine and care for them. I work from home so I am able to take care of the pet throughout the day, I take dog for walks in the morning and evening and take him out to play in the backyard every two to three hours. I have a fenced backyard and I have a six year old very well behaved and friendly little dachshund at home to play with your dog. Because I take care of my own dog every day and have taken care of different kinds of dogs, so I can take good care of your dog too.

I have a fenced big yard your dog can let all there engery out and enjoy the scenic views when I walk them in my neighborhood
About: I have spent the best 12 years being a dog mom to my Shih-Tzu, who sadly passed away last year. I'm not in a place to own again, but I would love to take care of and be responsible for someone's pets. I've also pet-sit for less common animals, lizards, bunnies, and turtles. I have a very flexible schedule. I am lucky to have a lot of remote work opportunities on the weekdays, and I lead a very active lifestyle. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, offering plenty of attention, exercise, and love, while always prioritizing their safety and well-being.
“Christine is doing drop in visits for our two dogs during the day and she has been wonderful. She’s on schedule, provides nice updates and has gone the extra step to make sure when one of our dogs had an issue that concerned her. She’s wonderful”
“Had a great experience with Jessica! She took such good care of Truffle during the drop-in visits, kept the litter clean, and made sure food and water were always taken care of. Super reliable and caring — it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away 😊”

We truly cannot recommend Jessica enough, she is an absolute angel! ✨ We were away for three long weeks, and having her do drop-in visits for our British Shorthair, Cookie, gave us the ultimate peace of mind. From the very beginning, Jessica was amazing. She immediately set up a meet and greet, listened so carefully to all our routines, and was incredibly flexible and accommodating with her time. Cookie can get a little stressed when we travel, but Jessica has the most beautiful, gentle soul and treated her exactly like her own baby. Cookie felt so calm, safe, and loved around her! Jessica’s attention to detail is just unmatched, when she noticed Cookie sometimes wasn't eating much of her dry food, she patiently hand-fed her to make sure she was getting enough and even gave her some extra wet food to spoil her. She also left the absolute sweetest notes about how much Cookie was missing her mom and dad. Her communication was stellar across all 10+ visits! We looked forward to her updates every single day because she sent around 10 gorgeous, high-quality pictures each time and left such thoughtful, detailed notes about their playtime and cuddles. On top of all this, Jessica was an absolute superhero when our smart litter box stopped working while we were halfway across the world! I couldn't reset the smart plug remotely, so Jessica promptly rushed over, jumped on a remote debugging session with me, pinpointed the faulty plug, and got everything running perfectly again. She truly puts the pet first in every situation. We are just so incredibly grateful to have found her. Cookie absolutely adores her, and we would rebook her in a heartbeat! ❤️
Heather was wonderful with Ember! Leaving a cat behind is always a little stressful, but Heather’s prompt communication and detailed updates put us completely at ease. Ember warmed up to her quickly and was clearly happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for the entire time. Our home was left clean and tidy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’ll definitely be booking Heather again!
Our girl Mao Mi (9 year old cat) loved Brianne! I have never felt so at ease leaving Mao Mi at home while on vacation. She was completely cared for and paid lots of attention; she got lots of play time, treats, and pets. When I got home after Brianne took care of Mao mi, Mao mi was very calm and happy, and didn’t have the forlorn energy she usually does after I’ve been gone awhile. She seemed Brianne is a very experienced professional who knows how to play with and interact with cats. She was respectful of the house and left things in good shape. She does informative daily updates and is a great pet photographer.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Washington Grove is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 17,450 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Washington Grove. 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 Washington Grove. On Rover:
- 85% 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.
