About: I have over 3 years experience walking and pet sitting on Rover, and have been the primary pet caregiver for my household, including 3 dogs, for over 12 years. I love showering pets with tons of affection and play, but also respecting them as animals to give them the proper care they need. I’m pretty comfortable with dogs of all sizes and can do feeding, walking, or drop ins to sooth anxiety. Right now I care for dog Lola, and when she’s not around I’m making new fur friends around Patterson Park. I know that your dog is not just a pet, but a cherished member of your family, and let’s be honest it really does takes a village, so I’m here to be part of your pet support team and treat them with with love, respect, and exceptional care. I’m currently self employed and working from home. I know that life can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible availability whether you require daily walks or last minute appointments I can be there to make sure your pet has the care and attention they deserve. Constant Communication with you, the pet parent, is essential as I believe transparency and trust are the building blocks to a successful partnership and positive experience.
“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!!”
“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!”
“Tristen is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. It is incredibly hard to find someone you trust completely with your animals, but Tristen makes it easy. They are super dependable, detail-oriented, and excellent at keeping us updated while we’re away. It is such a relief to travel knowing the crew isn't just being taken care of, but truly loved. Our pets absolutely adore Tristen, and we’ll definitely be keeping them on speed dial. If you want someone responsible and genuinely sweet, look no further.”
“Zada was excellent at communicating with us throughout the time she watched Ursa. She sent so many great photos! She followed our care instructions well and was attentive to Ursa’s needs.”
About: Individual with a BS degree in animal science who loves animals of all kinds and would love to keep your furry family members as happy, active, and healthy as possible while you are away! I have over 1000 hours working with animals in all aspects from basic husbandry and pet sitting to veterinary clinical care! Due to my busy schedule working a full time job at a veterinary clinic, my services are best suited to individual walks or drop in visits on my days off (usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays), or sitting for pets that are able to be left alone for 9+ hours at a time. I do not have any pets of my own and am child free, so I can easily provide overnight pet sitting for clients if they would prefer rather than just being present during the day.
“Really appreciate Jared's attention to detail. Our pets have a somewhat complicated feeding schedule! Communication level was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
“Nya was terrific. Would 10 out of 10 recommend Nya and will be using Nya to watch our dog again. Nya took our dog for runs around the neighborhood, provided timely updates and made sure our dog was safe and happy the entire time.”
“Cameron is such an amazing dog sitter/walker/handler! His interactions with my skittish dog has left her feeling loved and secure while in his care. Cameron is prompt with communication and very professional in all his interactions. He was flexible when we had to change our departure time due to longer TSA check in time. He followed instructions in caring for Storm and left the house immaculate. I was impressed he put the sheets and towels down the laundry shoot, I definitely didn't expect him to do that. He even remembered to leave the light on in the living room because I was returning late. If you're looking for a dog walker or sitter, don't hesitate to hire Cameron.”
“Paola was our first pet sitter since we moved to MD almost two years ago and our first time using the Rover App so we were a bit nervous but Paola came a few days before our trip to meet us and our pets and really put our mind at ease. Paola is so kind and gentle … our puppies soon warmed up to her and Paola took really good care of our pets and provided lots of pictures and communication during her stay. We will definitely ask Paola to pet sit for us again in the future! She is truly a “gem”!!!”
“Nadia was absolutely amazing!! She took such great care of my baby girl!! she pays great attention to detail and was able to help me a lot when it came to my puppies potty routine. I work overnight shifts so having someone as caring and amazing as Nadia helped ease my anxiety while I was at work! 10/10 recommend💗💗💗. Will definitely be booking with her again!!!”
About: Hi! My name is Renee and I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I grew up in a household with many different kinds of pets including dogs, rodents, and reptiles. I currently own two small dogs, Shih Tzu and Maltese mixes, one is 13 and the other is 3. I love all animals and am comfortable with them all. I’m currently unemployed so I have tons of time to care for and play with your furry friends! I’m mostly available on weekends as I have responsibilities weekdays, but I’m very flexible! I have a fenced in yard. I would keep my dogs separate just as a proactive measure since they are small. In your home I would care for your precious pet how you see fit!
About: I’ve been involved with pet care my whole life! I’ve volunteered at PAW here in Maryland and worked as a Pet-care Specialist, Dog walker, and Pet sitter for cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, fish, and other small pets. I am knowledgeable in administering medicine to pets, and understanding animal body language. I’m currently doing pet care full-time! When I’m not caring for my own pets, I’m always looking for ways to help people care for theirs! I currently only have weekday availability. I always approach pets with care and respect! I understand that it’s possible for pets to come from all types of backgrounds, and am committed to making your pets feel the most comfortable they can!
“Chandler was an AMAZING pet and house sitter! I expected this based on her other reviews, but our dog and two young cats seemed to adore her! Usually when I board my dog he comes home very stressed out. This was such a different experience- he was just his normal, happy self. Chandler is very communicative and sent us photos and updates of our pets, letting us know how they were. She kept up on all the pet duties, brought in the mail, took out the trash, and left the house better than she found it. She's also got a lovely personality! Next time we need to go out of town, I hope she's available because this was an amazing experience!”
“Janis took excellent care of our cat Toastie again. She is responsible and interacts well with Toastie. We would not hesitate to book her for drop-in visits and house sitting in the future.”
“It was our first time working with MaNiyha, and we needed housesitting + care for two clingy dogs for a whole week. She was wonderful! She sent regular updates with photos, and we could see that the dogs really relaxed with her and trusted her. She even did some additional training with them and calmed them down during multiple thunderstorms! Plus, she left the house spotless. We look forward to working with MaNihya again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and have learned how to care, play, and communicate with them through a lifetime of caring for them in my own home. I’ve come to love their little personalities, every pet a distinct individual. I also have experience working in a local pet store and know a great deal about nutrition and treats for pets. I can walk, check in on, or sit for your pet while you’re away in a safe, trustworthy manner. Dogs of all sizes as well as cats are welcome! I hope you’ll consider me today! I’m a full time college student, so my schedule is very flexible. I am most available in the summer and winter, but during the semester I’ll have plenty of time fri-sun and later availability mon-thur! I am able to control rowdy/excited animals on walks and have extensive knowledge in pet diet restrictions. Pet care may seem simple, but I take their safety and security very seriously. If anything unusual happens, you’ll be notified straight away.
About: I have been petsitting, house sitting, cat sitting, and farm sitting since Rover was DogVacay, but actually since I was a child caring for my neighbors pets and horses. My dog Quill is around 8 years old and gets along with almost everyone. No one is perfect. That's why I ask that you allow enough time to schedule a Meet-N-Greet so we know your dog, my dog, and I are a good fit. I do not accept dogs that are not spayed or neutered. Sorry:( I am skilled at giving pills, liquid oral medications, and subcutaneous shots. (think diabetics and thyroid disease for cats) We have taken in a family member's cat in the past year. She is the queen of the household and is not intimidated by most dogs as long as they are not aggressive toward her. I can do drop in visits for cats, reptiles, and birds as needed. I do accept reptiles and birds into my home as well. My Husband and Stepson enjoy all the animals that come and go. I am working full time until June 17th, therefore I only accept dogs on the weekends until school is out. I just updated my summer schedule so there are more opportunities for walks, house sitting, and cat drop ins. I have a fenced patio that the dogs enjoy hanging out on. I do not have a yard, but my Condo is very large and there is plenty of room for the dogs to play and take breaks from each other. I do not take dogs off leash unless I know the dog very well and we are in a safe area such at the dog park or dog beach. I will only take your dog on excursions with your permission. My dog loves to go to the farm and the dog beach, but that's not for everyone. ;)
The median cost per night for house sitting in Berwyn Heights is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berwyn Heights
Vanessa was incredible and took great care of our nervous dog while we were away for 10 days. Our initial dog sitter fell through the day before we were going to leave, and she responded immediately to our initial message and was over to meet him and us within two hours. He is a recent rescue and very nervous with strangers, but she introduced herself to him with great care, understanding, and professionalism. I was very anxious about leaving him, especially with such a last-minute change in our plans, but after meeting her, I felt completely reassured that he would be in great hands, which he was! She sent multiple updates with pictures a day, and our sweet boy looked like he was having the time of his life going on walks and sniffing all the flowers and grass he wanted. We greatly appreciate that she respected his boundaries and let him warm up to her on his own timeline. She also left our house spotless. We will definitely rebook her for future trips if she is available!
Elise took wonderful care of Albert while we were away! She sent lots of pics and updates, and he seemed very happy and comfortable with her. She also took great care of our house and left it cleaner than it was before we left. We'd happily recommend Elise to anyone in need of a kind, caring, responsible pet sitter! Thanks, Elise!
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!!
We could not be more thankful to Meghan for taking such incredible care of our pups! She was attentive, followed our pup’s routines, and was extremely communicative; providing thorough updates complete with pictures of the pups throughout our time away from them. She made sure to keep our dogs comfortable in their own home while making us at ease while we were away. We will absolutely use Meghan’s services again in the future!
Tyette was fantastic. She sent us pics of all the dogs several times during the week, and offered to stay later on the last day in case our flight was delayed (it wasn't). She knew to keep the dogs inside during the smoke/air quality alert from the Canadian forest fires. We would absolutely hire her again.
Elizabeth took great care of our two Germans shepherds, two gerbils, and one hamster, while we were on vacation. We came home to very happy pets and a clean home. Elizabeth has a very kind, warm energy and our pets instantly loved her (even our easily anxious puppy), and she took great care of our older dog with medical issues.
Sean was absolutely fantastic! He watched our two Goldendoodles, Leo and Milo, for a full week and did an amazing job taking care of both the dogs and our home. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire stay, sent us regular pictures and updates, and always made sure to ask if there was anything else he could do to help while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and a house that was in great shape. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Leo and Milo were in good hands while we were gone. We would absolutely trust Sean to watch them again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and thoughtful sitter!
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!
Gabz was awesome to work with. From our first meet and greet to the last message after we are back home from a weekend away Gabz was easy to talk to and very friendly. The pups loved their walks and chill out time with Gabz. Thank you, Gabz for cleaning up Balto’s vomit. Five stars for that!
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.
Javien is amazing! He stepped in to care for our dogs for a few days at our place with barely any notice. Our dogs adored him right away! He also handled our dog’s diabetic needs, including insulin injections. Plus, he kept us in the loop with updates all day. We felt so confident that our dogs were in good hands, even when we needed a sitter last minute. We’re definitely going to ask Javien again for future pet sitter needs! Thanks, Javien!

FAQs for House Sitting - Berwyn Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Berwyn Heights on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,290 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Berwyn Heights. 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 Berwyn Heights 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 Berwyn Heights 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 Berwyn Heights 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Berwyn Heights. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
