“Jessica was fantastic. This was the first time we had someone sit in our house for our dog Clyde. He gets anxious when he is not with our family. When we returned from our trip he was still his happy self. No stress or anxiety. Jessica took great care of Clyde and our home! We will definitely use Jessica again.”
“Our sweet Gimli was happy with Marilyn! She was very responsive and reliable. She shared happy photos of our dog! I appreciated finding our home just as we left it! I would recommend Marilyn for watching your pets!”
“Hannah was wonderful! Our boy can be a little particular and she handled everything with such calm and understanding. She was communicative and extremely flexible. We were so lucky to have found her!”
“Jennifer 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 !”
About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 7 years old. Dogs mostly, but also cats, birds, turtles, rabbits, and fish. Now I am a mature, reliable professional who loves pets as much as ever, but unfortunately my living situation is not ideal to have my own right now. I look forward to connecting with folks who need an assist in caring for their animals and loving them as if they were my own. My schedule is somewhat flexible with plenty of early morning and afternoon availability, as well as evenings opening up at 9 or 10 pm. This is true 7 days a week with 2 rotating days off each week. I typically have one 3-day weekend available each month. My place is not conducive to have your pets stay. But I am happy to come to you, whether for a walk, a feeding, playtime, some combination of all of the above. I also welcome the opportunity to stay over in your home if the need arises and trust has been established.
“Maria was so great with our dogs! She kept our house tidy, was on time, and was super flexible when our plans changed! We booked her last minute and I am so grateful she helped us out! Will definitely be using her again!”
About: Hello there, I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have had my own dogs for the last 15 years, and love taking care of and interacting with all animals. I have experience with training dogs to leash walk, taking them outside to the dog park, taking them to the beach for a swim, and playing fetch with a slobbery tennis ball. LOL I also have plenty of experience loving on cats (ones that are ok with cuddles, that is!), and playing chase the wand. I have pet sat mice, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even a chameleon and a bearded dragon! I love small, large, and in between size animals and there are no breeds that I refuse to work with or for. Allow me to play, walk, and take care of your animals as if they were my own. I will send text updates and pictures to help ease your mind. I assure you, we will be best friends in no time! Please note that while pet sitting at your home, I will likely have my 12 year old child with me. I will never leave my child alone in your home, I will always take them with me if I need to run an errand. I have an open schedule and plenty of time to take care of whatever is needed. Morning, afternoon, and night walks or visits are no problem! I will come into your home to care for your animals so that they will be most comfortable. I will feed, walk, play, and clean up after your animals as if they were my own and it was my home.
“Very kindly cleaned up a kitty hairball incident. If you’re very busy and looking to leave your pet with someone chill who doesn’t send messages unless necessary, Caleb is your guy 😎”
“Brittney was wonderful with both our dogs and sat with my oldest dog wrapped in a blanket and played music during a thunderstorm ( he is very anxious with thunderstorms. She was also accommodating with my mom visiting the dogs regularly. I really appreciate that she was also willing to message with my mom as we were on a trip that was far away.”
“Olivia was given the task of caring for my 5 year old cocker spaniel who recently had meniscus surgery. She did a great job keeping my girl happy. She showed up on time and has an easy going manner. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve done dog walking, dog sitting, and overnight care for the last 5 years. I’ve always been a dog lover ever since I was a kid. I grew up with a Rottweiler, yorkie and Boston terrier so I have experience with all sizes. I am a college athlete so I have all weekends off, week days are a little more challenging but I will always find time to help out. I treat clients homes how I would want my home treated, with respect. As for the dogs I will make sure they have a good time and are well taken care of.
About: I have a long, sturdy fence that offers total peace of mind. Whether it's a puppy with zero recall or a senior who gets disoriented, they can enjoy the fresh air safely and off-leash under my constant supervision. I am happy to reinforce your consistency with house-training and basic manners. As a dedicated dog lover, pet care isn't a side task it’s my daily rhythm. I work from home, meaning your dog has constant companionship and immediate access to my secure, long-fenced yard for frequent "zoomies" or sunbathing. My long, secure fence is the backbone of my safety protocol. It allows for off-leash "zoomies" and exploration without the risk of bolting. I never leave dogs unattended in the yard; I am always out there with them.
“Hannah 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.”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a kid. Growing up on a farm I learned how to care for chickens, dogs, cats, lizards, horses, cows, pretty much any animal you can think of. There is nothing I love more than the company of an animal. I have experience with horses from feeding, riding, to basic medical care. I’ve cared for a dog that had recently gone blind and managed all medications including steroids and pain medications. I’ve raised my own dogs and provided them with care and love and of course lots of fun games. I am also a wildlife rescue clinic tech where I help rehabilitate wild animals and release them back into the wild. I’ve dealt with anything from squirrels and opossums to hawks and owls. I am very comfortable with giving any medications. And will always provide the animal with a loving and compassionate heart. Animals are truly my biggest passion and not a single day goes by where I don’t have either a dog, cat, horse, or one wild animal by my side. Right now I work part time on Friday from 10:30am-9:00am and Saturday from 7:00am-5:30pm. For the other days I am mostly just working on school as I take classes at an online college. I will provide the care for the animal as the client would like. I love to walk dogs so if no fenced in yard is available I will provide many walks throughout the day.
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, I’m 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. I’ve 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.
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.

Leslie stayed at our home while we traveled for five days. She was fantastic with communicating and sending pictures. Leslie had a calm confident energy so I felt so comfortable leaving our doggo with her. I could truly relax for a few days knowing he was good!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Araby View is $32 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $32 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 pet’s specific needs.

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 Araby View 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 Araby View 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 Araby View 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.
