About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 8. I’ve had guinea pigs, dogs, and a rabbit. My family currently has one rabbit, Thumper. He is the best! We also have three wonderful dogs…two English cream golden retrievers, Remi and Raven, and a spunky beagle named Snoopy! I was a teacher for 24 years and now I worked in a school library for the past 4 years. I’m trying to make some extra money on the side. I started doing some dog walking/sitting during the summer of ‘25 and have truly enjoyed it! I love being outside and taking walks with the pups or just playing with them inside! I’ve also taken care of cats too. I love spending time with animals! I’m available after 4 p.m. and at night too, during the school year. On the weekends, my schedule is very flexible. Since I work for the school system, my schedule is much more open in the summer time, if you need any help! I can take your dog for a walk, so they can get some exercise. I can also stay and play with your pet! Happy to send pictures and updates too!

About: ***drop off and pick up times are between 9 am -2:30 pm or between 5 pm and 10 pm***** as I have zoom meetings in mornings and afternoons ; Rover will not let me put in specific times I do apologize****I have two fur babies of my own! They are spoiled rotten. Their names are Rainy and Stormy . I am well trained in giving oral medications as I had a fur baby that had congestive heart failure for 4 years whom also was a senior dog when he passed at 18 years old.

About: I've been fostering dogs and cats since 2013, I've done pet sitting for 5 years, and I worked at an animal boarding facility for a little over a year. I can give medication, and I have experience with all sorts of pets. I currently work part time, so I have quite a bit of time to stop by and check on your pet. Or, if I'm staying in your home, your pet will have lots of attention because I will be home most of the day. I work Sunday-Thursday, 10am-3pm. Depending on the animals needs, I'm able to do anything and everything to make them feel comfortable when they not so furry parents aren't home.

“I cannot say enough great things about Kara! She is WONDERFUL with my 2 boys and step brothers dog! I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs and the day she came to meet them I knew I could trust her! My boys are very stubborn, high energy, and not always the best off leash, and she got them to listen and they looked so happy with all of the pictures/videos she sent me during the drop in visits (crazy dog mom here, I like lots of pics of my babies while I’m gone)”

About: I'm located off interstate 95 making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.

About: My name is Emilio, and I’m an MMA instructor who is responsible, active, patient, and comfortable caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels. My family and I have 1 dog , a German Shepherd and Pit Bull mix, along with a cat that we originally fostered and eventually adopted. We got the both of them around four years ago, so I have years of hands-on experience feeding, walking, playing with, supervising, and caring for both dogs and cats. Being an MMA instructor has also taught me patience, awareness, consistency, and how to stay calm and attentive, which I bring into caring for every pet. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week, including many afternoons and evenings. I’m also open to weekend care and can work with pet owners to keep their pets on their normal routine. I have years of experience caring for my own pets, so I’m comfortable around different personalities and energy levels. In a client’s home, I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food are secure and I’ll keep owners updated so they know their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover who has worked hands on in an animal shelter for many years. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all ages, including animals with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and special routines. I offer drop in visits, dog walks, house sitting, and boarding, with light grooming available for an additional fee. I’m comfortable giving medications, following detailed care instructions, and taking the extra time needed to make your pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. For boarding, I do ask that dogs are cat tolerant. I have three medically challenged cats of my own and regularly foster cats and dogs, so my home is very animal focused and used to having furry visitors! Your pets will be treated like family, with plenty of attention, patience, and individualized care. 🐾❤️ Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! I work as a Cattery Caretaker at an animal shelter, so I’m around animals and caring for them throughout my workday. Outside of work, I have my own cats and regularly foster cats and dogs, so I’m very used to making time for feeding, cleaning, medications, walks, enrichment, and giving each animal individual attention. Currently working Full time! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely get outside time and play. I’m also comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Aberdeen Proving Ground

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 3,093 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Aberdeen Proving Ground. 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 Aberdeen Proving Ground. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
