“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.”

“Catherine was such a relief after a number of bad experiences with cat sitters who forgot to come or forgot the care needed for our cats. Catherine is very professional, left simple and timely notes about our kittie’s status after each visit, and left us feeling assured of their well-being. I will definitely be looking to book Catherine again!”

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.

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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. I have experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have a puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of daily routines, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or simply relaxing and getting attention, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and companionship! I have a flexible schedule and can make time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going for walks, playing, feeding them, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents about their pets’ routines and work together to find a schedule that works for everyone. I want your pets to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my priorities. I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I’m happy to provide updates and pictures so you can feel reassured while you’re away. Every pet has different needs, and I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

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.

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.

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.

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Washington Grove

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.

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 .

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.
