“Anton did a wonderful job taking care of Odin! He made sure to send me pictures everyday, and updated me on how he was eating and drinking. I saw too that he took the time to play with him everyday, and make friends with my little guy. Would definitely recommend!”
“I am so glad we picked Scott to check in on our cats while we were away on vacation! The “report cards” were great and filled with lots of photos and videos! Scott is professional and clearly cares a lot about animals. 10/10 will book again!”
“Jazzel was awesome! No complaints at all. I needed someone to check on my cats while I was away, and even with very short notice, she was able to fit us in her schedule and took great care of them. She sent multiple photos during every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind, and even my super skittish scaredy cat warmed up to her after a few days. I would 100% recommend her, and she’ll definitely be my first choice the next time I need someone to care for my cats! :)”
“Aliyah was fantastic! She replaced a last minute cancellation and was so on top of everything clear and smooth. We were gone for our wedding weekend, and I was able to have 0 worried for my kitty cat while we’re gone knowing she was in Aliyah’s care <3”
About: What sets me apart from other pet owners is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve always had cats and dogs, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I also have a 13-year-old diabetic cat, which has given me firsthand experience with caring for pets who have special medical needs, maintaining routines, administering medication, and paying close attention to changes in their behavior and health. I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. I treat every animal as if they were my own and want owners to feel completely confident knowing their pets are in loving and trustworthy hands. I am currently a bartender/server, so my schedule works wonderfully if you're needing someone to look after the fur babies while you work. My schedule can also be flexible if I'm given enough notice. My cat has not lived with other cats in a while due to his diabetes effecting his back legs for a while. My Tigger is my best friend. He is my baby that I care for like a child with routine feedings, medications, vet visits, etc.
“Maya is awesome! We needed a sitter in a pinch and she made an effort to fit in a meet and greet right away. She followed directions perfectly with our cat and was super responsive and easy to communicate with! Will def book again. Thanks, Maya!”
“Karen was wonderful with our dog and two rabbits. Our dog takes some time to warm up to new sitters, but Karen handled it graciously and she reported that our dog was good friends with her by her last visit. We really appreciated the photos from her visits and her frequent communication gave us peace of mind that everything was going well. We look forward to using Karen again the next time we are away.”
“Azucena was a great cat sitter for my cats. She is the most well prepared and detailed sitter that I have ever booked. I look forward to having her sit for my cats the next time I need a sitter.”
About: I have dogs of my own that I take on daily walks. I have two husky’s (11 and 6 yrs) and a pitbull I had for 13.5 yrs (she crossed the rainbow bridge). I enjoy going out for walks because I know it’s a dogs favorite time of the day. I’ve taken my friends and family’s dogs on walks while they’ve been out of town. I’m looking to walk dogs in the evening when I go for my afternoon walks around the neighborhood. There are times where I may have availability during the day as well. I’m flexible and will do my best to fit you into my schedule. I love dogs and I treat all dog as if they are my own. I’ll make sure to make them feel comfortable with me and give them the attention they need.
“Working with Sharon Michelle has been wonderful so far! She is very communicative, professional, and most importantly so kind to my dog! She even brought him a birthday present!! Looking forward to continuing to work with her!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was a kid. It all started with walking an older neighbor's dog, Hawk. At the time, I just thought it was nice that my neighbor trusted me to walk and play with him. Looking back, I realize that arrangement was mutually beneficial and served as my introduction to dog care. Since then, I've become the go-to person for family and friends to watch their pets, especially dogs. Most recently, I had the pleasure of caring for my great furphew while my niece settled into college life. I plan to adopt a puppy or dog one day. I'm just waiting until I'm sure I'm ready for the commitment. Until then, I'm happy to be a pup aunt! My availability recently changed. I'm generally available on weekends in the morning and afternoon. I try to keep my calendar updated, but will respond quickly if I'm unavailable for a request. I'm not able to provide care in my apartment, but I'm willing to drop in at your home and play for a bit, refill food and water, or let your dog out to explore and potty. Just let me know what you need, and I'll let you know if I can help.
“Vanessa did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Sol! She was attentive, reliable, and made sure Sol was happy and well-cared for while I was away. I loved the updates and could tell Sol was in great hands. Highly recommend Vanessa for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Karen was awesome and our dog loves her. Great communication, and very professional. I would highly recommend Karen and will definitely be hiring her in the future if she will let us 😁.”
“Melissa was super friendly and accommodating for our senior cat. She was attentive and respectful of the space, making sure to clean up after herself and to always lock the door when leaving. She made sure to send thorough updates on our cat's eating habits, litter box use, energy levels, and more to make sure we were kept up to date with how our baby was doing! Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area.”
“Samuel was a wonderful sitter! He was very attentive and responsible, he sent great summaries and pictures, and was flexible when fitting me in last minute. My rambunctious kitty had a great with him!”
About: I’m an experienced pet owner of cats, dogs, seniors pets, high medical need pets, and just needy in general pets. I am especially enthusiastic about dog walking, and am comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes (including large dogs). I have experiencing with medicating dogs and cats, and am comfortable with pets that need an extra close eye due to age or illness. I work from home and am available for daily walks, drop in visits, feeding, medicating, and giving lots of love and attention all day every day. I am available for pet sitting in your home - I unfortunately cannot fit any more paws, tails, or snouts into my house at the moment.

Mary is absolutely wonderful! I know that my cat Athena is in the best hands when under her care. Mary is always responsive, provides thorough updates, and snaps adorable photos. She has a repeat customer here and I would absolutely recommend her to care for other’s pets!!
Our cat liked Ariana immediately when she came in the house. She took fantastic care of him, fed, played and cleaned up after him. Ariana sent us charming photos and alerted us to a problem while we were away. She was conscientious, responsible and thoughtful. I will absolutely hire her again.
Karen did an excellent job taking care of Chester and Kate. She spent time brushing, petting and playing with them. We enjoyed seeing Karen's daily updates and photos. In addition to taking great care of our kitties, Karen took packages for us. Thank you for all of your great work and support! Job well done!
Scott was absolutely AMAZING with our trio of kitties! We knew he was 100% legit when our very shy kitty (who NEVER comes out for strangers) came out on the second visit and is opening up to Scott. I look forward to having Scott return in the near future to take care of our kitties.
Neesa was great, from the very beginning. She took notes to ensure she won`t miss a single detail. She was very sweet, played with our dog and sent pictures almost every day. She stayed in touch every single day, providing updates which helped a bit in being away from our baby. I will definitely recommend her and book her again!
Joe is amazing! My old kitty warmed up to him and connected to him right away. He definitely speaks animals! He was able to get my kitty his inhaler every day while we were gone, and I know that has been challenging with previous sitters. He was very patient and kind with my cat and gave great updates. 10/10 recommend Joe to care for your furbabies.
Liza was a lifesaver and accepted our request for a drop in visit with only a few days notice. She took great care of our cat. We appreciated the pictures she sent and it was obvious our cat, who is normally very scared around strangers, was very happy, relaxed and comfortable around her. Would definitely recommend!
Becca is great! She’s taking care of my foster kitties twice now and is so good with them. I always get detailed reports so I don’t have to worry about them! She also went above and beyond, even coordinating with the rescue so that they could be in the loop with their care.
Marika checked in on our two cats while we were on vacation. She was thorough in her communications, took great pictures, and gave our cats excellent care. They were peaceful and calm when we got home, a sure sign that they were happy while we were gone. Were very grateful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wheaton-Glenmont is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $50 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 17,715 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wheaton-Glenmont. 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 Wheaton-Glenmont. 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.
