“Brianne was amazing while doing drop-ins with our 16-year-old dog, Splotch. She accommodated us last minute when our schedule changed and kept me updated the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Brianne — she was caring, reliable, and attentive, and we would absolutely trust her with Splotch again.”
“Cathy was wonderful. We had a last minute request which she was able to accommodate. She communicated with us throughout the drop in visits, which included photos. We will definitely use her again!”
“Amy was great. She arrived reliably each day, interacted will with Leo and you could tell my little lion was happy. When I returned from vacation the cat was not stressed and happy to see me. Would book again. Thanks, Amy.”
“We were very satisfied with Don. He dropped in everyday to feed our doggies and let them out to do their business. He was very reliable and would send pictures. We highly recommend him.”
About: We understand the stress of trying to find a place for your pup. We have teo dogs, Mocha (a miniature Schnauzer) and Luka (a mix Lab). Having dogs has given my kids the confidence to feel comfortable around pets and lately we have been sharing our love with other dogs that we have cared for. The day starts with a walk, feeding, a later stroll down to the park (to play outside-based on weather), afternoon feed and a later walk. But if you feel this is too much for your dog, don't worry, we adapt and do what your dog likes best....We will take care of your dog with diligence and plenty of love. We have plenty of love to give. Morning feeding and walk. Mid day snack and playtime (outside, if weather permits). In the afternoon, a walk or playtime (if weather permits) and evening ends with a feeding and a walk. Again, we adjust based on each dog's needs. We board pups in our home. We have a fenced yard for supervised playtime and we keep your pup with the same that they have in your home. They will be loved!
About: I offer more than basic pet sitting—I bring experience, intuition, and a calm, knowledgeable approach to every visit. From everyday care to more complex medical needs, including medication administration, I’m confident handling a wide range of situations while keeping your pet comfortable and stress-free. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, with a preference for early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. These times are ideal for walks, feedings, and quality time, especially for pets who thrive on consistent routines or need care outside of standard work hours. I’m happy to work with your schedule to ensure your pet receives dependable, timely care when they need it most. My apartment is located in a safe, pet-friendly community that’s ideal for in-home sitting. The environment is calm, clean, and welcoming, with plenty of space for pets to relax comfortably. Being in a dog-friendly area also means easy access to safe walking paths and a neighborhood where pets are part of everyday life. I make sure every pet in my care feels secure, supervised, and right at home.
“Cindy is great and for our first visit was very thorough in explaining how she would take care of my dog. Certainly made us feel welcome and grateful my dog and Nero got along great. Definitely will be using Cindy in the future.”
About: There has never been a time in my life where I didn't have a pet to take care of. I have experience in long term stays for deployed military pet parents. I love all dogs, big and small. Cats are the long-time love of my life, I am obsessed with them. I also have spent some time caring for reptiles, am comfortable with feeding snakes rats and also live insects. I am currently between jobs, so I am trying to fill the time and make some cash on the side. Ideally should be able to do any day of the week right now, can get to your pet while you're at your 9-5. I am always amenable to caring for your pet as needed. Your house, your rules! I am dedicated to their happiness and your comfort and convenience.
“Jillian watched our cat over the Thanksgiving holiday. Like always, she sent us detailed updates and showed our pet lots of love. We had an issue with our building maintenance while we were away and Jillian was so patient and responsive as we worked through the issue. Jillian is our favorite (and our cat’s favorite) sitter!”
“Xiaoyi was absolutely amazing with my dog Bella. At first, I was skeptical about this service as I am very picky about who I like to work with Bella. That being said I would absolutely book Xiaoyi without any hesitation or reservation. If you like someone who is very attentive communicative and very caring, please look no further. While I was away on my trip, she kept me informed with pictures and text messages on my dogs experience. I look forward to working with her in the future! 10 out of 10 experience!!!”
About: I grew up in a house with two cats, a dog, and even a few pet rats. Currently I have two indoor cats and a variety of wildlife that my roommates tell me I am allowed to feed but not allowed to bring inside. I have a little bit of experience with caring for reptiles, birds, and one hedgehog in addition to the more traditional pets. I find that I am particularly popular with large, energetic dogs who enjoy playing with someone "their own size" and anxious critters who need lots of reassurance. I recently completed graduate school and currently have lots of time to provide love, exercise, medication, and whatever else your furry friend may need while you are away. As an in-home sitter I always make sure to get complete instructions on where pets can or cannot go in the house/yard, approved treats, and any medication schedules along with vet information in case of emergencies.
About: 👋🐕🦺 Hello there! My name is Anh. I retired from my pet daycare attendant job years ago. Now I'm working my heart out to build my own business ventures while getting back to my love for pet care. Working as a pet attendant has not only enforced my love for animals even further but it has also taught me how to handle various animal-related situations. It was one of those jobs that after you quit for years, you still reminiscing about. I reminisce about the pups I took care of every single day. Seeing the joys on the pets and their owner's face after the end of each daycare session always makes my day — bonus point when the dogs do their little exciting dance when they see you! During my time working fulltime there, I worked with 100+ fur babies a day (from small babies to big boys!) From giving your fur children medicine to showering them due to digestive issue, I've done (and mastered) it all. I'm currently working as a digital designer but the corporate working culture is killing my soul. Hence, I would LOVE to branch out to different paths and journeys. If it makes any different at all regarding you feeling confident about my services, I know how to train cats to do tricks! 😏 So if you're feeling easy-chris-breezy, let's chat! 🐕🦺🫶 Also an honorable shout out to Ariel, a senior German Shepherd who was under medical procedure that I took care for — I miss you every day bud <3 I'm currently working on my own businesses with this on the side so my schedule is super flexible and can be adjust based on your needs. Morning and early afternoon are the ideal time slots for me, but I am open for discussion. At the end of the day, your pets healthy routine is what matter! I am active and love hiking. Although my place doesn't have a yard, I can take your babies out for fun walks and activies in the park. I am also very organized in my home so your pets will feel absolutely comfortable with an odor-free and cleaned environment. My security, Storm (from X-Men), will also make sure no bugs can attack your pets.
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 know every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to make sure each one feels comfortable and receives the attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 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 always keep pets supervised, use secure leashes during walks, and make sure they have fresh water, a clean environment, and lots of attention. 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.
“Leticia was amazing. She took such great care of our dog Scooby and our cat Sandy while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated, was easy to communicate with, and clearly loves animals. We came home to two happy and relaxed pets, which is all we could ask for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Washington Grove
Stephanie is absolutely wonderful! I’ve been booking with her for over a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with her care for my Yeager. She is incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. She always sends thoughtful, detailed updates along with lots of pictures, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. I truly appreciate the time and effort she puts into making sure my cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone as reliable and caring as Stephanie, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter!
Immediately our kitties Ovi and (even sassy) B took a liking to Cindy. Cindy was flexible and met the kitties few days before the appointment and was very attentive and sweet towards the kitties. Detailed oriented. Provided updates and photo during the visit. Will highly recommend and will use service again.
Amanda is so reassuring to her clients and make sure our pets are being taken care of. She does a great job at communicating and taking care of your pet! Trust me, if you have a sitter or this is your first time doing anything like this, pick her or change your sitter because she’s the best of the best! Thanks Amanda!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Washington Grove is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 17,545 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 .
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.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% can help with daily exercise

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
