“Malek did a great job letting Gimli adjust to a new human at his own pace. He asked for guidance when needed, to help Gimli build trust in him. Gimli greeted him happily when he returned to pick up his things, so I know Gimli feels comfortable. As the owner of a sensitive, intelligent and active dog this was just what I was looking for. Thank you, Malek!”

“Jason is great with our big old dog. He hasn’t stayed overnight with him for quite some time and yet he remembered all of our dog’s eccentricities. He even brought extra rug runners because he knows our dog struggles with the wood floors. Although I set up a room for Jason on another floor, he said he knew our dog Donnie like to be close to him and that he would sleep on the couch instead. We felt 100% comfortable with leaving our dog with Jason. That means so much to us.”

“Aliyah went above and beyond in taking care of my cats. My youngest fur baby instantly warmed up to her, which is quite rare! Aliyah sent me lots of photos while I was away, easing my separation anxiety. Being away from my cats is never easy, but knowing they were in such great care with Aliyah made it so much better.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they’re away. I provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet like family, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work remotely, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to provide attentive and reliable pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting before, during, and after work, as well as on weekends. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions closely to maintain their routine and reduce stress. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect, providing dependable, loving care while you’re away.

About: I've been a professional pet sitter for two years and have had my own kitty for two more! I've taken care of dogs, cats, birds, lizards, no animal too big, no challenge too small. I am currently available for pet care most of the day, every day! I usually prefer mornings, afternoons, and evenings, but can do nights with proper planning! I tend to emphasize being vigilant, not only to make sure nothing wrong happens in the environment, but also to make sure every pet looks happy, healthy, and satisfied. I take my kitty's personal daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance very seriously and am not one to shy from acknowledging if something seems wrong. That's what good communication is for!

About: What sets me apart is my calm, patient, and attentive approach to pet care. Having grown up with dogs and currently caring for three cats since 2021, I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are for pets—especially when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual personality and needs, whether that means energetic playtime, gentle companionship, or simply giving them space to feel safe. I am especially good with shy or sensitive pets, taking time to build trust and help them feel relaxed in a new environment. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of pet parents’ instructions, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and home care rules. I also provide regular updates and photos, so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. Most importantly, I truly love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know they’re family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I am available outside of my regular work hours, as well as on weekends and holidays, which allows me to provide consistent and reliable care when pet parents need it most. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive proper attention, timely feeding, playtime, and companionship. I am dependable, punctual, and flexible, and I always communicate clearly about availability to make scheduling easy and stress-free. For the safety and comfort of all pets, I do not provide care in my own home, but I am happy to care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and respect household routines, rules, and boundaries. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times—whether that means secure doors and windows, clean food and water areas, or safe play and litter box environments. I am attentive, reliable, and respectful of your home, and I treat both your pets and your space with care. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, well-being, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: I used to be a Dog Trainer years ago. My friends & family do come to me with questions and trust my input when they are having difficulties or just need some advice. With having that experience and having the different dogs and cats in my life, I know what I can handle. From taking care of Great Danes, to helping getting kittens to trust humans, I trust myself to make the right decision on a lot of things. I do have a Full Time job, but I do work in an environment with animals. I am usually scheduled 6-8hr shifts, with the occasional 9hrs. My schedule/shifts are usually pretty flexible where I can make adjustments a week in advance. I am willing to talk over any adjustments to times and getting the normal routine as close to normal as possible. My home is fenced in for my families dogs. They are all very much aware of their area and, even though it might not be the biggest, they still enjoy themselves. My cats usually stay in my room, due to 1 of the dogs in my house being mostly blind, we try to keep her environment as much the same as possible, and since she can't see them, we do not want to risk her accidentally stepping on them. They do get to venture out in the hallways and see the rest of the family on the weekends. They still get plenty of love, play, and food for days!

About: I think what sets me apart is that your dog will really become part of our household while they're here. I'm only away at work one day a week, and my wife works from home most days, so someone is usually around. I'm also a registered nurse. So I'm very comfortable, following detailed instructions, keeping schedules, getting medications and noticing when something seems off. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and want your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while you're away. I've had and cared for dogs since I was a child, so caring for them has been part of my life for more than 25 years. I'm currently working one day a week and at home studying the rest. I'm usually in town most weekends and holidays. Since I'm home so much, it's easy for me to fit in walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding and plenty of attention to your dog into my day. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm happy to stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine. I have a completely fenced-in yard with plenty of space to run around and play, and I don't have any dogs of my own at this time. Dogs will be supervised while outside, and I can crate your dog if that's part of their normal routine. I have tons of Kongs, chew toys, enrichment, games, and treat mats to keep your dog engaged, but I'm also perfectly happy to have a lazy couch potato hanging out with me while I study! I always keep fresh water available and give regular potty breaks. I'll follow your dog's normal feeding, walking, medication and sleeping routines as closely as possible. Every dog is different, so I'll adjust their activity and care based on their personality, age and energy level. And of course, I'll send you updates and pictures so you know how they 're doing.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 8 years. Whenever a family member goes on vacation, they trust me with taking care of their pet while they are gone. I work a set schedule so I have a bit of free time. Normally I’m free the same days every week. I’m very flexible with my schedule. I am respectful of how others wish for their pet to be taken care of and I abide by their wishes. At home I have 2 dogs and a fenced yard to keep them safe.

Julianne did everything we asked during a two-day overnight for our big boy. She visited beforehand to provide reassurance that this was a job she was up to. And she sure was up to it. She communicated very effectively throughout. She instantly bonded with Zeka and was there for him throughout the difficult nights of his needing to pee frequently. We could see that Julianne is very good with animals of all shapes, sizes and kinds. We couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend Julianne for your pet support needs. We will definitely be reaching out to her in the future.

This was the third time Shakuntala stayed with my babies. I have a medically complex cat that needed subcutaneous fluids and several meds while I was away and as always she took such great care of my kitties. My kitty with medical issues was pretty sick when I left and I was nervous but over the 2 weeks I was gone she fully recovered under Shakuntala’s loving care. She stayed at my home while I was away and the house looked great when I got back! I can’t recommend her enough!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Helena the care Emilie and Bruno received while we were in Italy. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease leaving them with someone I trusted to love and care for them as if they were her own. She sent frequent photos and updates, which gave me such peace of mind while we were away. It truly felt like a lifelong friend was staying with my kids. She also took exceptional care of our home, bringing in the mail, watering, and handling every little detail without our having to worry about a thing. At the end of her stay, she coordinated with my mother to ensure a smooth and seamless handoff. Everything went perfectly, and Helena was an absolute delight to work with. I returned home to two happy, well-loved dogs and a beautifully cared-for home. I would trust her with Emilie and Bruno again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly!

Gabby was truly a dream come true! She was available on short notice and was genuinely eager to care for my dog and two cats. From the start, it was clear how much love and attention she gave them. They were incredibly well cared for and happy in her care. When my dog became very sick during her stay, Gabby went above and beyond. She didn’t hesitate to take him to the vet, manage his medications, and stay on top of follow-ups with the veterinary team. Her calmness, responsibility, and willingness to take charge during a stressful situation meant so much to me. Gabby was also wonderful about communicating throughout her stay, regularly sending photos and updates so I always knew how my animals were doing. I highly recommend Gabby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, kind, responsible, and loving to look after their pets. I would absolutely have her care for my animals again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Aspen Hill

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Aspen Hill is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $74 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. 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 October 2026, there are 11,219 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aspen Hill. 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 Aspen Hill 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 Aspen Hill 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 Aspen Hill 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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 Aspen Hill. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% 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.
