About: As the proud owners to two wonderful little rescue dogs, a cat, some chickens, guinea fowl, goats and sheep, we know how hard it can be sometimes to find care for your pets and farm animals while you are away. We will provide the same level of care and kindness that I would want and expect for our own spoiled pets. Trust is an important part of pet care and petsitting, and we want you to be able to confidently, and without worry, leave your pampered pups and kitties in our care. We live on a small farm in rural Western Maryland, about 20 minutes west of Frederick. We have experience with all kinds of animal care, from horses, cows, goats, sheep, and poultry. We are currently able to provide drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, as well as house or farm sitting, and in home boarding, as well as hourly dog park style use of our large fenced yard. Your pets will be a happy addition to our family in our home! Our whole property is fenced by 4 ft or taller board and wire fencing, with smaller areas sectioned off in the front and back yards. The driveway is gated and secure. We want your pets to feel as safe as our own. Leah and Andrew are both available for petsitting services. We currently work only at home, tending our farm homestead, and have a flexible schedule. We are able to drop in one or two times a day, or less or more often, as needed. We treat every animal as if it were our own and provide a level of care that we would expect from our pet care provider.

About: I’m a stay-at-home mom with over 13 years of pet-sitting experience and a lifelong love of animals. I currently have several regular clients and am opening up my availability to welcome a few new furry friends! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m comfortable following each pet’s individual routine, whether that includes walks, meals, medications, playtime, or simply some extra company and attention while you’re away. My experience also goes beyond dogs and cats! I regularly work on a farm caring for horses and other large animals, so I’m very comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me a flexible schedule, and I love being able to spend part of my week caring for animals. I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pets and your home, and I treat every animal I care for like I would my own. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of availability for drop-ins, walks, and recurring clients throughout the week. I currently care for several regular clients and am opening my schedule to take on a few more. On occasion, I may need to bring my son with me, but this would always be discussed and approved ahead of time. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and entering your home. I always follow each owner’s instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’m comfortable with crating, different feeding routines, leash walking, and administering oral medications. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“My pups absolutely loved Bonnie. Even though we didn’t have a pre-meeting, as soon she met them for the first time, they were all over her and connected with no issues. Bonnie was very very patient and flexible with us and very much understanding to our situation. She helped us to watch 4 dogs while I had a serious surgery and my husband didn’t have enough information to provide to Bonnie what time to come and leave. As frustrating it was, Bonnie was very professional and showed understanding and dignity to our situation when my husband had to leave for the hospital. Moreover, Bonnie regularly posted updates and pictures to make us feel comfortable that everything is ok at home and our babies are doing great and under a wonderful care. We definitely recommend Bonnie. Thank you for taking care of our pups!!!”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of raising a dog from 9 weeks old to his current 13 years. I’ve been there every step of the way, from puppyhood to adulthood and senior years. Plus, my dog tore his ACL, so I know firsthand the challenges of keeping your pet safe and out of harm’s way, along with the need for special care and instructions. I am currently a senior student athlete in college with a flexible schedule. I wanted to find a part-time job that I would actually enjoy, and I have always loved being near animals. Coming back home to my dog is always the highlight of my trip, so being near dogs and getting to see the joy on their faces has always made me smile. I think pets are happiest when they’re in their own space, so I’d rather work at someone else’s home. Plus, getting to know the dog and the pet owners will really help everyone feel more comfortable.

About: I love all animals, I am very patient with dogs and treat them like they were my own. I am a very active person, so I love going on long walks or runs, or playing with animals! I have a dog of my own so he gets spoiled often and I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your dog as well! I work two part time jobs right now, so I have a lot of free time and wiggle room through the earlier times of the day and later as well to play with puppies and take care of your animals like they were my own! I stay in an apartment on the second floor, I have a balcony and I have a dog of my own who can give your pup some company , he is very playful because he is still young and gets along with everyone and everything! I have a yard around the building I live in and I take my dog to walk out there , or across the street in the fields next to a school I live near where I throw the ball with my pup! I can also crate your pet if necessary or needed by your instructions!

“This is the first time I used Rover and I’m impressed. We only needed a drop in for Lucy and Ginger, but Justine did a great job, especially dealing with an over exuberant 4 month old puppy that’s not quite potty trained and an older dog that does not warm up immediately to new people.”

About: My names is Keyan (I go by KJ). I have been a dog dad for 10 years! I have a boxer pit mix! I have watched other friends dogs over the past years and have been doing Rover for almost two years now . I enjoy helping because we know how the need for help is ALWAYS there. I look forward to becoming your favorite sitter/walker! I work from home and am a dog dad so there is no day where I am not taking care of a dog (unless traveling). I work a standard “9-5” Mon-Fri but have pretty relaxed time after work and on weekends! I currently only am coming to pets where I do dog walks or dog sittings but whatever instructions I am provided I will be sure to follow as to give peace of mind to you while I take care of your four legged friend

About: Hi, I’m Ashley! I provide attentive, reliable care for your four-legged family members. Whether your pet needs an afternoon stroll, engaging yard playtime, a gentle drop-in visit, or quiet companionship while you’re away, I ensure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. My Background & Experience I’ve shared my home with cats my entire life and currently care for two beloved felines of my own. Two of my family's cats were diabetic, giving me hands-on experience administering feline insulin. I understand subtle body language, strict feeding schedules, and how to help reserved pets feel at ease. When it comes to dogs, meeting neighborhood pups while out on my daily delivery routes is always the highlight of my day—I always keep treats on hand to make fast friends! My hands-on dog experience includes: Playful walks & companionship: Great with friendly, moderately active dogs who enjoy neighborhood strolls, interactive playtime (fetch or gentle tug), and backyard sniff sessions. Senior dog fostering: Fostered an older pup through the Humane Society, providing patient, medication-aware care suited to a relaxed pace. Sitting for friends & neighbors: Experienced handling reliable feeding routines, potty breaks, and check-ins. Midday flexibility: Operating as an independent courier allows me to easily accommodate midday walk breaks and playtime drop-ins during prime work hours. What You Can Expect Safety & Respect: I always confirm dietary restrictions before offering treats and adhere strictly to your leash, feeding, and house rules. Clear Communication: Photo and status updates with every visit so you know your pet is happy and secure. Grounded, Caring Energy: Attentive company for friendly dogs and a gentle, quiet presence for cats. I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a great match! I am an independent contractor and online student, which means I don't work a rigid 9-to-5 desk job. My schedule allows me to quickly adjust to your pet’s routine—whether you need regular mid-day potty breaks while you're at work, evening visits, or flexible weekend care. I focus solely on drop-in visits and walks at your home, keeping stress low for your pets. I respect your home's security, follow your exact feeding and care instructions, and practice careful door awareness so indoor cats and pups never slip out. Your pet receives my undivided care and attention.

We are very happy Matthew could visit with our dog Bear while we were out of town. He did a great job and Bear really loves him. Matthew was also very flexible when we had some schedule changes. We will definitely book with him again if we need help in the future. :)

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Arnoldtown

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Arnoldtown is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $3 and $17 per visit. 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. 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 3,071 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Arnoldtown. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Arnoldtown. 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 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.
