“We are so glad we booked Marianne to watch our babies for 5 days. This was our first time ever leaving our babies home and couldn’t bear the thought of boarding them, so here we are. Marianne was punctual, kind, funny and did a wonderful job all around. She will be our first and best only choice in the future :)”

“Alyssa has been amazing with our one year old German Shepherd. He’s very sensitive and needs some patience, TLC, and understanding. Alyssa has a calming energy matched with leadership and good animal intuition that our GSD has responded remarkably quickly to. Alyssa came over for a meet n greet - took the time to learn his quirks, training, and personality then came over again for a one on one walk. Our GSD runs away, barks, and hides when new people try to clip his leash but she sent a pic twenty minutes later on a walk with him. We were not only impressed with her care, demeanor, and skill but also extremely grateful/relieved to have found a sitter like Alyssa. Highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs and breeds!”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and is something I just love. Whenever I go to see a friend who owns a dog, I spend more time with the dog often times! I don’t have any of my own at the moment since my partner has allergies, but being there to dog sit will allow me to spread that love and care with them. I have watched many of my friends dogs overnight or just for the day due to my hybrid schedule - which is wonderful! I work a hybrid role - so I might be able to offer walks during the day on some days of the week. But weekends work best for me to stay over and dog sit (for those traveling or don’t want their dog in someone else’s home). This will help build trust and love with the little ones, while keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I always want to ask, what are the do’s and dont’s since every dog is different. I want to make sure they are able to relax and enjoy the company as much as I would. If I’m able to stay at the sitters home, I will routinely send updates or photos (as desired) and give them peace of mind to know that they’re little ones are safe with me. I absolutely adore dogs and I want to make them as loved as they deserve. If I take them for walks, recap anything that they did to report back to the owner as well.

About: I recently moved from San Diego, California to Florida and would love to continue spending my time around dogs. I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Zoe, my 7-year-old Pit Bull. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes—from small breeds to medium and large dogs. I have experience with feeding, walks, playtime, medications, allergies, and special care routines. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. 🐾❤️ My schedule is pretty flexible, which allows me to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime, and I can easily follow your dog’s usual routine and schedule. I have a 7-year-old Pit Bull, Zoe, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I always follow the owner’s instructions and respect each dog’s routine, personality, and boundaries. My priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

About: I've always been an animal lover and have personal experience caring for my family dog, a Chihuahua who has been part of my life for many years. Through caring for her, I've learned the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each dog the love and attention they deserve. Although I'm new to professional dog walking, I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I'm happy to follow your instructions to make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring hands! I currently work at a school during the day, which gives me the flexibility to offer dog walking and drop-in visits in the afternoons and evenings! I'm typically available on weekdays after 3:30 PM, with additional flexibility on weekends and school breaks. I love spending time with animals and would be happy to make caring for your pup part of my daily routine! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, pay attention to their individual needs, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I'll always keep dogs securely leashed during walks, respect your home, and provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: Small dogs are my specialty! Neighbors, friends, colleagues and family turn to me without hesitation for consistent, safe, reliable pet care while they are away or in last minute emergency situations . I have experience with senior pets, pets that are in need of medication, pets that have CHF, pets with skin, problems/ issues, or allergies, and vestibular disease. I work a full-time job with a one hour lunch period (to attend to your pets needs midday) Well behaved pets (with the owners approval or owners request) can be brought with me to work in a very small 3 person quiet office setting. Monday-Friday and I am available all weekend. I have experience with crate trained, free roaming, in-home hospice situations with multiple (and sometimes time sensitive medications) , CHF(congestive heart failure) and special feeding instructions. I am also able to take your pet on long walks beyond the yard and even for a few mile run/jog (for dogs whose owners request this service, usually my larger breed pet owners or working dog pet owners).

About: Family members have trusted me to care for their animals in ways such as walking, feeding, and keeping them company. Not only do I provide care for animals with a sense of diligence and nurture as if they were my own, but I also have over 12 years of childcare experience. I've boarded and walked dogs as little as 5 pounds to as large as over 100 pounds! Further, I welcome doggies and cats of all shapes and sizes! After numerous experiences with so many amazing pups I will openly disclose that if your pup is not neutered/spayed, is highly energetic, or pees often on the floor the puppy rate will be applied via Rover. What's great about my location is that although I live in a triplex, I have a safe and large gated space that the dogs often love to play and roam in. Further, I am a work from home mama so your animal will have lots of opportunities to go outside or simply have someone around. I often catch the pups sunbathing outside or by the front door. They love my space! I have a ton of flexibility and free time throughout the week as a work from home mama! I can do boarding and/or any form of pet care anytime throughout the week or weekends. Occasionally I may have something on my schedule but that can always be discussed via interview. My greatest desire is to cultivate a nourishing and creative environment for my 2-year-old son, therefore I'm a stay-at-home mommy and make money in ways that still allow me to be present with my son. Furthermore, most of the time he joins me on my pet care endeavors and we make it fun! I have a fenced in yard and it is shared with neighbors in my triplex. Most of us have doggies or kitties! Further, I have two 20-foot staked leashes outside that I will put on the dog if they prefer to hang out in the sun or simply outside for a while. I have a kitty crate and litter box if needed. I'm willing to cook food for your animal if they have a specific diet that they're on. Ultimately, my desire is to know what the pet's caregiver prefers for their pet and to do my best to honor their preference.

About: I’ve always loved caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m very attentive, reliable, and patient, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with different personalities and energy levels, including senior dogs and pets that need extra attention or reassurance. I know how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I always want owners to feel confident and at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have flexible hours with my work in practice outreach. I’m able to adjust my schedule to make time for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. I follow owners’ routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions. I’m very attentive, reliable, and respectful of both pets and clients’ homes, and I make sure pets get plenty of love, supervision, and attention while in my care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, I have a 4 pound Yorkie named Halo, and we love welcoming friends in our home! I work from home, so plenty of love and attention and walks for your pup! I am comfortable with Senior dogs, as I have cared for my own in the past. Plenty of experience with puppies as I have cared for litters a couple times from my past dogs and rescue puppies. I’m currently working from home, so plenty of time for walks and care for your pup! I also have a rooftop deck that me and my pup love to get some sun time without a leash. My neighborhood has plenty of grass to roll around in and we even have a large park around the corner with dog parks if that’s what your dog loves. I have a large home with plenty of space to play, and we always welcome the pups on the couch and bed in this home so they won’t ever feel lonely. We also have a rooftop terrace if your pup loves a little bit of sunbathing and we are close to dog parks! I also live in a gated community for extra safety

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Washington Park

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Washington Park is $14 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $21 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 7,300 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Washington Park. 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 Park. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
