“Jean was really lovely with our 4 cats while we were out of town for 11 days. The cats have some quirks, but Jean took everything in stride and treated them with the same love and care that I imagine she gives to her own pets! The cats were happy when we got home and Jean had spruced up around the house a bit for our return, which was a nice touch and much appreciated. I'm sure we will be asking for Jean's help again.”
“Lee did a great job staying with our kitty for a week. He was very communicative before and during his stay, sent pictures and updates every day, and left our house in great shape. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Lee again.”
“Michael was great with our 2 large and energetic dogs (65 and 105lbs)! They felt right at home with him while we were away. Our one dog can be a bit nervous in general but they got along great. Michael has a calm and positive energy which was perfect for our dogs. We appreciated his daily updates and clear communication. He was very professional and we would definitely hire him again. He took great care of them and you can tell he truly enjoys working with the dogs. Thanks again Michael!”
“Jerad did an awesome job with Samson. Followed the instructions perfectly and was a great friend to our little guy. Took him on walks and sent lots of updates. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ava is consistently wonderful with our cat snd our anxious, senior dog. She’s super communicative, and puts us at ease. We never worry about leaving town if Ava is with our pets!”
About: My biggest priority is communication! I love to send check ins and pictures throughout the day, and often ask questions. I will always double check instructions to make sure your pet has the care you intended. I am also outdoorsy and love to walk! I will always extend a walk if I can, not cut it short or do the bare minimum. I am committed to giving your pet the exercise and attention the deserve! I am a nanny, student, and big fan of exercise! I have alot going on in my day, but often have gaps in between that allow me to visit your animals and get them outside. I can often be found doing homework in the evenings, and I always seem to get so much more done when dogsitting! I will always follow instructions and ask questions if I am not sure. I will never feed your pet anything that is not from you, and I will use proper precautions, leashes, harnesses, etc, when outside. I will always clean up after myself and be diligent about locking doors and leaving the house as I found it.
About: My name is Sue, and I recently graduated from college. I would love the opportunity to care for your pets and home! Long time pet lover and clean freak. I provide tidying services to those who ask! Placing rates low as I’m new to the platform! Book me, leave me a review, and we’ll do a lifetime of low rates! I work Monday-Thursday 10-7, but in a position where I can check on pets intermittently! The rest of the week I am all yours. I grew up with my dog Oakley, and have long pet sat/dog walked in my area. I additionally provide tidying services to those who ask. I am an animal lover and strong communicator!
“Owen was fantastic. Not only was he responsive but the dogs were well taken care of. They were walked, fed, played with, and given a lot of love. While he was watching the pups he also kept the house clean. I got daily pictures ands updates which helped to put my mind at ease about my pups while I was on vacation. I will use Owen again”
“Brittany is wonderful! She took great care of our six year old boxer and our home. He is a rescue and still new to his surroundings, so we wanted him to be able to stay at home while we were away. She is very competent and it is clear she loves dogs!”
“Avery stepped up when we really needed her with only a couple of weeks notice for our honeymoon, and stayed for a full 2 weeks watching our two young goldens, including one that’s still a 8 month old puppy. She did an awesome job with them, was a great communicator, and sent tons of good pictures. Don’t know how we would have been able to enjoy our big trip without knowing they were in good hands with her. She also helped out around the house with cleaning, watering plants, pool maintenance, and even dealing with a repairman on a dryer issue that happened right as we were leaving town. She certainly went above and beyond and we couldn’t recommend her enough!!”

My primary job is with Maryland Department of Natural Resources and with certain assignments there is no rescheduling. This assignments are generally on weekends from 11:00 AM - 5:00PM. I am still able to arrive early in the morning and in the afternoon on these days, otherwise that I am available most of the week. My calendar will be up to date at the beginning of every month. I can come to your home but I cannot use my own. I am willing to send pictures of your animal(s) every minute if you miss them and need to know how they are doing.
“Kayla was an amazing sitter for Asja during my time away! I am very particular about my dog and can normally gauge from the meet and greet if the sitter is a good fit. The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost a week and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my Asja. I highly recommend Kayla and plan to use her for future sittings.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I grew up with dogs in my home and currently have two dogs of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love all fur babies and would be so excited to care for yours! 🐾❤️ I am currently a part time student at Anne Arundel community college. I also have a part time job. My weekends are available. Weekdays I have a lot of free time during the day between classes before I head to work at 2:30-5:30 (usual hours). Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. I will always make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable, whether we are out on a walk, during a drop-in visit, or staying overnight. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and anything else that helps them feel at home.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years now. From my own to sitting to volunteering at shelters they’ve become such a huge part of my life. I have experience with everything from puppy to old and all types of energy levels and training. I’ll be sure to take care of your dog as my own! I’m available weekdays after 4 and most weekends as well as early mornings. Weekends I have typical all day availability for a variety of needs. I have a nice complex park for the dogs to play in. Whatever rules you want your dog to follow in your own home I’ll make sure they do! Safety is always the number one priority.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Amberly
I never worried once while we were out of town, he reassured us with his first text and pictures of our girl's welcoming him into our driveway. Assured us that their med's went down with ease, pictures of them eating their meals. Ryan is responsible, reliable, caring, an excellent communicator and went above and beyond our expectations. The house was better than we left it! Ryan is officially part of our family now and will always be our go to pet sitter.
Kayla did an amazing job dog sitting in my house for my 11 year old dog Zoey. Kayla was very friendly and Zoey loved her. Kayla cared so well for Zoey and when I got home I saw that Kayla had washed her own bed sheets!.I definitely recommend Kayla for any pet sitting job and would most definitely hire her again!
Absolutely! Here’s a warm, genuine Rover review: Ally was absolutely wonderful with our dog Daisy! She took care of her for a long weekend and was so sweet, communicative, and attentive throughout her stay. We felt completely comfortable knowing Daisy was in such great hands. To top it off, all of our fire alarms unexpectedly went off while we were away, and Ally handled the situation so calmly and responsibly. We really appreciated how she kept us informed and took care of everything. We would absolutely recommend Ally and would love to have her watch Daisy again!
Sara met the dogs and two separate occasions before the actual reserved time. The dogs instantly fell in love with her. Sara let the dogs sleep with her, as I do. It warmed my heart to know that someone else was willing to care for & love them as I do. She's a great sitter for your animals.
I really appreciate that Hannah is willing to dogsitting at last minute notice for thanksgiving. I was scrambling to get both of my dogs at their usual boarding and it’s ending up booked in both locations. Hannah has saved me and the dogs loves her and very playful with her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Amberly
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 7,227 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Amberly. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s 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 Amberly walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Amberly 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 they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s 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 Amberly 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 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.
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.
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 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.
