About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love caring for them. Over the past year, I’ve lived with three dogs, two parrots, and 4 cats, and before that, I lived with and helped care for around 23 rescue animals. Everything from lizards and turtles to dogs, goats, and horses! My goal is to pursue a career in animal care, and pet sitting is the perfect way to gain even more hands on experience with different breeds and personalities. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I currently am working at a dog daycare in Bowie, Maryland and working through Rover with your fur babies helped me obtain this job and I’m 1 step closer to making this my career and I would be extremely excited to continue caring for your furry loved ones! I currently work at a doggy daycare and if vaccinated I can even take your fur baby along with me during the day to work for no extra cost! I have a 2 hour break and can provide a mid day walk and play time and there’s a 2 hour nap time for the dogs at daycare. I have a fenced in yard and an extra large steel dog cage in the house in case your pet needs to be caged. I only take care my dog at home when I don’t bring her to daycare with me she eats and gets walked at around the same time every day and goes outside to play with toys or just to run around the yard a lot throughout the day.
“Cora was an excellent sitter that got Ozzy and Dee out for many walks. They loved her and she was attentive and an extremely good communicator which put our minds at ease. Definitely will look to book again and highly recommend to all pet owners!”
“Alayza was really responsive throughout, and sent frequent updates. I especially appreciated being able to have a meet & greet prior to booking, to ensure my pups and Alayza would be comfortable with each other (and of course they were!). We will definitely work with her again!”
“Micaela was amazing! She responded to a last minute booking and was very communicative the whole time. She sent pictures and asked questions and my pup loved her! Will definitely book again!”
“Andrea was our first experience with a Rover pet sitter & she was wonderful! Our cat needs medication 2x a day and she had no issue making sure he got his meds. We came home to our home cleaner than we left it & our pets at ease and obviously well cared for! Would absolutely hire Andrea again :)”
About: I have cared for cats and dogs since childhood. As an adult, I’ve adopted and fostered four dogs and worked closely with trainers to deal with obedience, reactivity, and impulse control. As a helper to you and your pet, I will prioritize earning your dog or cat’s trust, being consistent with your routine and training goals, and showing them all the love I have to give. You can count on me, and I’ll aend more photos than you need to prove it! ☺️ I work from home and can adjust my meeting schedule easily. I have two dogs myself and understand how important routine is. As long as we plan ahead, we can make anything work! I offer walks, drop ins, and pet sitting in your home. Happy to care for the plants as well. ☺️ Depending on the distance, I can stay overnight or make multiple daily trips while balancing care for my own fur babies.
“Very happy with Nia—very responsive and kept me supplied with pix so I could see my little buddy while I was away. Left house spotless and pup well cared for. Will definitely book again if available!”
“Marcus is simply the best. We were looking for someone to watch our Golden Retriever for a week and he's 80 pounds and has some separation anxiety. Marcus responded promptly, came over for a meet and greet, did an impromptu follow up walk when we got called into the office, and was always easy to work with and friendly. We got several updates a day, usually with pictures or video, and it's clear Kenai got tons of attention and love. When our flight looked like getting canceled, he even said he could be ready to come back and check on Kenai. 5 stars would use again”
About: hi everyone ! i’m a pet owner who loves all animals. if i could own more animals i would! i currently had an english bulldog and a cat with another cat on the way, i may get a fish soon but that can happen anytime. i’ve had pets all of my life, different types of dogs but mainly just one type of cat. all sizes of dogs are fine with me! i have much experience walking dogs as well as taking care of them in general being that i have my own animals i would like two or three more pets but we shall see what time will bring us. thank you so much for considering me to take care of your precious baby pets! I am currently a stay at home pet mom! So i have so much time for your pet babies as well! I am available throughout the day to come and check in. I have a big yard for your dogs to play with, as well as three fur babies (two dogs and a cat) to keep your pet company.
“Isabella went above and beyond house-sitting our beagle, Walter. He’s normally a pretty anxious guy and right from the meet and greet, she totally put him at ease. She sent daily photo updates and followed his schedule. We’re already booked with her for our next trip!”
“This was our 2nd time having Lauren care for our dog, Penny, and our home, and as expected, everything went smoothly. We found Penny relaxed and happy when we got home. The house and even the plants on our deck, had been cared for fantastically (in 100+ degree heat!). Can't say enough good things about Lauren--we trust her emphatically with our girl and our home and she will always be our first choice on Rover. Very grateful to have found her!”
“Thalia is an amazing dog sitter! I had a last minute change of plans and she stepped in to help, kept me updated daily with pics/check ins, and left my apartment just as she found it. I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“I was super nervous about leaving my dog with someone for a week. This was the first time for both of us. Abby was incredible from start to finish , super professional, prompt responses, lots of photos and videos. She stayed at my place full-time and to be honest with you when I got back. It was more clean than when I left it. Lol. If you’re looking for someone, who’s gonna love your dog and look after them like you would she’s definitely the person to book.”
“Eric did a great job watching our dogs and our house. He kept us updated on the the dogs with plenty of pictures and in general went the extra mile with the dogs. I am sure they look forward to the next time he dog sits.”
About: Being with the NFB {National Federation of The Blind}, I've been around dogs for a very long time. When their owners need a break, I allow them to have time for themselves, and be able to be a regular dog for a bit. I love helping them get groomed, make sure that they're well fed, enjoying walks with them, a whole bunch of other things, including playing with them. This helps the inner child within me, because I'm able to finally reconnect with dogs in a way that I've been reconnecting for the longest amount of time. Thank you for trusting me with them, and have a safe day. Currently, I am working part-time at another job, but hopefully this will be my point of income for a while. I absolutely love the concept of just being paid to play with animals that I have always loved. I can do that any given time frame, any given day, just as long as you are public transportation accessible, I am on my way. I can absolutely assure safety, because I'm a little paranoid about my own. I will make sure that if there's anything I need to know, I will scare me areas around me, know what potential risks there are, potential accidents that could happen, and anything else that needs to be paid attention to. I am good with quickly learning my surroundings and understanding what needs to happen at a very quick pace.
“Lila was extremely responsive and communicative while caring for my dog. She provided regular proactive updates, and went above and beyond when my dog had to go to the vet unexpectedly while I was out of the country. I could tell Lila really cared for Gracie and it gave me peace of mind knowing she was with her while G experienced her health issue. Would highly recommend and rebook. Thank you Lila!”
About: I have cared for dogs over 25 years. I have taught my children how to care for and love dogs. Although, we currently do not own any pets- we put our love on your pets. I work from home 5 days per week until 2pm. The children are all home by 5pm when they can walk, feed and play with pets together. I will only care for your dog in my home. When I am home I walk, feed and allow playtime for your dog. We always have fun!!! I ask that your fur baby is caged trained and shots are up to date.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Ardwick is $51
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ardwick
We have a senior dog & a puppy who both can be very particular & have tons of energy. They loved their time with Nia. She took great care of them as well as our home. Nia even came by to meet us & our fur babies before we went out of town. 10/10 experience & highly recommend her!
Crystina goes above & beyond for our pets and we’re always happy to leave them in her care. She sends lots of pictures and updates, is very attentive to the care instructions we leave for her, and we feel really confident that our dog and rabbit are in great hands with her!
It's our third time with Erica and my cat loves her!! She is very accommodating and understanding of anxious pet parents, and provided reliable care for my cat and responded to my check-ins. My cat appears not stressed at all upon my return after a whole week, which is such a wonderful surprise!!
Asha was absolutely wonderful with our big guy, Ollie. She provided detailed updates, took care of him when he was scared during holiday fireworks, and walked him in between some pretty intense weather events. We felt totally comfortable on vacation knowing that Asha was there!
Bryanna was great - very very kind and great with our two cats! She was able to help us a bit last minute and took all of our directions in stride. The cats really liked her and she took excellent care of them while we were away for almost a week. We needed drop in visits and I loved the photo updates she gave each time. She also was willing to look after our disabled gecko, so I highly recommend Bryanna if you also need someone to check in on your reptile!
Wow! Adrian was absolutely the best. He stayed in our home with our animals (cats and giant dog) for a long weekend, and he could not have been better. He provided regular updates, gave such attentive care to our pets, and he left the place cleaner than when he arrived. The animals really seemed to love him. We will be using Adrian again and cannot recommend him highly enough.
Don't be put off by her young age - Karleigh is mature beyond her years. She handled our elderly dogs incontinence issues with aplomb, kept us up-to-date, sent pictures and videos, and asked all the right questions. We will absolutely hire her again, when/if the need presents itself.
Meg was great with our pup while we were away for Thanksgiving week. She house sat for us, handled all care instructions to the T, and gave our pup lots of attention and play. It was great to come home to a happy pup and a clean, neat house, just as we left it. She was communicative and provided regular updates. We won’t hesitate to use Meg again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ardwick
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 10,951 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ardwick. 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 Ardwick 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 Ardwick 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 Ardwick 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ardwick. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
