âI highly recommend Jessica! I was extremely happy with the care she provided for my two cats and my little specialâneeds dog. She was responsive whenever I reached out and consistently shared updates throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my pets were in excellent hands. Jessica was also very respectful of my homeâit was left tidy and well cared for (trash taken out, bed made, no dishes in the sink, etc.). Iâm really looking forward to booking her again the next time I travel!â

âJennifer took amazing care of our two dogs and house. She was especially good with our 18 year old terrier who has many struggles during the day - even going to the pet store to get her some supplements! 100% recommend and will be a repeat client !â


âOur dogs love her and the house was left perfect after she left. One of our dogs is old and needs care every 4 hours or less and some pills. He is also deaf and uses sign language to communicate. She was able to handle all of this no problem. Booking her again for our next trip!â

âKaila was amazing!! She took care of my German Shepherd while I was away for the weekend. She kept me updated the whole time and Iâm so grateful she took such a good care of my baby!â

âThank you again for taking great care of our pups while we were travelling! My husband and I feel much more comfortable leaving our dogs behind knowing they are in good handsâ

About: I have cared for dogs for family and friends, offering loving attention, fun walks and playtime. I will treat your dog like family, respecting their individual needs. I am currently retired and have time to help with dog care. I am flexiable, trustworthy and enjoy taking care of animals and their needs. I provide caring, dependable pet care in your home, helping pets feel comfortable and secure while giving you confidence that their needs are thoughtfully met.
About: Hi there! My name is Anissa (Nis), I am a reliable, patient, loving, safety-first dog walker and animal sitter based in Frederick, MD and Martinsburg, WV. Whether your dog needs a brisk midday walk, a trip around the park, or your animals require an attentive drop-in visit, Iâm here to help burn off that extra energy and provide peace of mind for you while I care for your best friend(s), as well as your home! As a current Dachshund mom of 2 anxious angels with very specific needs, a cat mom, and mom of many other babies that I loved before them, I am comfortable with all sizes/breeds, anxiety levels, specific/complex needs, and prioritize positive reinforcement, calm handling, and showing the same kindness that I would provide for my own animals. Iâve cared for everything from playful puppies/ferrets/bunnies/other small furry friends to senior dogs needing slow strolls, patience, and joint care. When I care for your babies, you will receive a detailed report, and photos during/after every single outing, as well as anything else that would make you feel more comfortable while your children are in my care. If you are looking for someone to love your family members like their own and ease any completely understandable anxiety you may have when trusting someone with a piece of your heart, please send me a message to chat or schedule a meet-and-greet! I currently work in Frederick from 8-4 M-F with flexibility to step away and return as needed during the work day. I have full availability on the weekends as I do not have any current commitments. I am flexible throughout the Frederick, MD area at any time, as well as house-sitting, and visits before/after 8am-4pm in the following locations: Martinsburg, WV Hagerstown, MD Shepherstown, WV Williamsport, MD as I have a unique situation and am able to stay/commute from any of those locations. When caring for your animals in your home, I strive to keep their normal routine, ensure safety, and maintain the household according to specific owner instructions in hopes to provide the same peace of mind that I require when leaving my own babies under the care of someone else.

Currently, I have a Great Dane of my own (his name is Saint) and regularly babysit three wonderful dogs (two goofy Mastiffs and one sassy little Basset Hound. lâm comfortable with everything from high-energy playtime to gentle senior care, and I treat every pet like family. I currently work 7:30am - 4pm on the weekdays. My office is pet friendly, so I can bring your dog to work with me if you need me during the week. Otherwise I can be available for evenings during the week. My weekends are usually completely free though! I make sure all pets are comfortable, well fed and get play time in. Dogs arenât meant to be idle all day, and as an active person I love to walk dogs and have some playtime in the backyard. My pets and my clientâs pets always get spoiled rotten with cuddles and kisses. <3

About: Hello, Iâm so excited to become a dog sitter & walker on rover! I have always been a huge dog fan. I have had a small yorkie ever sense I was young. My sister has a big dog who I also enjoy being around! I am currently college student training to become a nurse! Iâm looking for a seasonal job for over the summer! I love being active so taking care of dogs would be perfect! I am correctly working a part time job as a hostess at a restaurant but Iâd love to do rover on my days off! I will treat pets like my family. I love making pets happy and feel loved. I will adhere to all costumer requests! I will make sure the dog is happy and well taken care of!

About: HAWKINS DOES NOT LIVE WITH ME FULL TIME, HE LIVES WITH MY FATHER :) I've been a dog lover since childhood! I've been watching, walking and giving lots of love to my own dog (Hawkins) for about 3 years now! However, I was asked to walk and check-in on dogs several times in my complex and neighborhood! This happens especially in my family, as a lot of my family members have one or more dogs they ask me to take care of when they go out of town, or just need a break! I've been caring for a diverse range of breeds, from a Shih Tzu to a Golden Retriever since I was basically 10 years old! I love to work, play with dogs, and save to pay off my student loans! I'll have some availability on the weekends when I don't have class, usually starting around 12pm! There are plenty trails, parks and squares around Maryland, which will provide your dog plenty of room for extra exercise, plenty of playing, and exploring! I will happily take your dog for long walks, play with them however your living space will allow, and play with them as long as you are comfortable with in the parks!

âSonya was great with our house, dog and cat while we attended a conference and took a couple of relaxation days last week. She was in regular communication, often sent pictures and it was clear the dog and cat were super-relaxed. She was waiting for us when we arrived home and gave us all the news. Sonya is clearly a true animal lover and I would recommend her highly.â

About: Iâve loved dogs my whole life and grew up with an Akita German Shepherd mix who taught me patience, confidence, and how to read dog personalities. I used to help out at a small local rescue on weekends, mostly walking dogs and giving them baths, and it made caring for animals feel second nature. Iâm gentle, reliable, and always treat pets like theyâre my own. Your pet will be in loving hands with me. Iâm available on weekdays after work at 5:30pm and Iâm available Tuesday and Thursday mornings until 12pm. I take care of pets daily and itâs become one of my favorite parts of my routine! When caring for pets in someone elseâs home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar as possible. I start by following the ownerâs instructions closely such as feeding schedules, litter or potty routines, favorite toys, and any specific quirks or habits. I make sure the home stays safe and tidy, double checking doors, gates, and food portions so nothing is overlooked. I spend quality time with each pet based on what they enjoy, such as playtime, slow cuddles, or quiet company. I also give updates with photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. My goal is to make their home feel just as comfortable and secure as if their person were there.
âAbigail has walked our dogs for us multiple weeks now and stayed overnight while we were away. She always does an amazing job with keeping us updated and sending lots of pictures. Our two dogs and cat always do really well with her! We trust her to take care of our animals and would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a dog walker or overnight stay. Thank you Abigail!â

âHannah was fantastic! She stayed overnight to care for our dog Bailey. She was very friendly, caring and thorough. She came ahead of time to do a meet and greet with Bailey and provided us with updates throughout her stay. We will definitely be booking her again for any future needs.â

About: I love all fur babies! I love playing tug of war, fetch, running, etc. with dogs. I love cats as well such as cuddling and playing together. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Iâm available throughout the day to provide potty breaks, meals, exercise, attention, and companionship while ensuring pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, exercise, playtime, companionship, and any medications as directed. I also keep the home tidy, provide updates and photos to owners, and ensure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and safe, reliable care while their family is away.

Abdul is such a kind and caring young man! He has a wonderful, calm presence with animals, and you can tell he genuinely loves spending time with them. Both my dog and cat absolutely adore him, which says a lot! Heâs gentle, patient, and very attentive to their needs. It gives me such peace of mind knowing theyâre in good hands when Iâm away. Iâm so glad I found him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets with genuine love and kindness!

Ava did a great job watching my two dogs for about 5 days at my house. She didnât hesitate to ask questions or clarify instructions and sent updates and pictures of them regularly. The dogs loved her! From our first meeting when she showed up like a professional with her checklist of information she needed me to fill out and immediately connecting with my dogs, I knew I picked the right sitter! She was a good sport too because my dogsâ sleep schedule was a little whacky and they got up quite early a few days. Would definitely book Ava again!

Meghan took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were out of town and was able to accommodate us last minute when our other pet sitting arrangement fell through. She sent updates and photos regularly and we will definitely be reaching back out to her for future needs!

Miranda is an angel!! She was so patient and kind with our reactive dog, Nessa. Weâve always been weary of hiring a dog sitter for Nessa and this was our first time. Miranda used several strategies to make Nessa feel comfortable. By the end, Nessa wanted lots of pets from Miranda. We are so thankful for her!

Took care of our dogs in our home. Responded quickly to the sitting request. Had great questions when she came to meet the dogs and bonded with the girls quickly. Communication with us while we were away was great and we came home to happy dogs. An excellent experience. In all ways. Definitely recommend Kate.

FAQs for House Sitting - Akers Acres
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Akers Acres is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $91 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs 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 2,182 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Akers Acres. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitterâs presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Akers Acres walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your homeâs security or appliances.
Itâs helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Akers Acres maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate theyâll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your petâs profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Akers Acres choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Roverâs 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.
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 Justiceâs 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Akers Acres. 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.
