About: I grew up with dogs and cats. I am an animal lover, and since I was a child I felt a need to help animals as best as I could, whether it was a bird who couldn't fly, an abandoned kitten, or a lost dog. As an adult, I trapped and found homes for several stray cats, I got a dog from a rescue group and had 16 wonderful years with him. My fur baby died last year and since I am not able to get a new dog, I would love to care for other people's dogs and cats whenever I can. I also understand how hard it is to travel and leave your fur babies behind. I had to do it for many years with my dog, and I cried every time I had to leave him, even if it was with a trusted and loving sitter. Stay assured that your dog will get all the love, exercise, and attention he/she needs. I have a 5 year old and two older kids (12, 15) so your dog will need to be OK around children. I am a teacher. I work from 8:30 to 4:00 M-F during the school year. I will be off for all holidays and in the summer. If I am watching a dog for a long weekend, I can go home for lunch and let the dog out. Dogs are never left alone for more than 4 hours. I live in a townhouse and I have a small fenced yard with a grassy area behind it, but I also love to walk them around the neighborhood. My kids love to help and play with the dogs too. Your dog will be allowed everywhere in the house and will be part of our family during his/her stay. My problem is that I get attached to each dog and it's always hard to say goodbye!
“Heidi was a wonderful sitter for our two Havanese and little parakeet. She sent pictures and updates and was very responsive with texts. Our girls loved her, and we will definitely be asking her to watch them again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them!”
About: I love playing with dogs and taking them for walks or runs. I’ll make sure they have the best days ever! Can’t wait to meet so many dogs. I have off on Thursdays and Sundays and would love to fill my day by spending time with your pups!! I’m available any times during those days. I can come to your house and be sure to watch the dogs all day if needed and make sure they are walked, feed and taken out to the bathroom.
“Sarah is just wonderful!!! My cat Leo means everything to me and Sarah made it possible for me to go on a family vacation and feel 100% comfortable that Leo was in good hands! Sarah sent me photos during each visit and even sent me a video showing me how great Leo was doing. Leo never comes out from under the bed when I have visitors and by the end of the first day Leo was sitting at the front door waiting for Sarah like he does everyday with me! Just speaks volumes about Sarah's kind heart...to me it does anyway! I highly recommend Sarah!”
About: When your dog comes to our home, we treat them like our own. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I know how important it is to find the absolute best care for them while you are away. Having pet sit for family and friends dogs and also fostered several dogs, we have experience with all types of dogs from puppies to senior dogs and various breeds. I have two daughters who love to spend time with dogs that come to our house and always give lots of love and attention. I currently only have weekend availability due to recent return to office - happy to help during the week if your dog is used to an 8 hour day normally. Please reach out to see if it is something we can accommodate and you are comfortable with. Most days I will be able to get them out for a bathroom break around lunchtime. I will care for your dog the same you do to keep things consistent for them. We can leave them out if we have to leave or crate them, whichever you prefer.
About: Hello and thanks for reading my profile! I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was a little girl, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. Currently, I have a Great Dane of my own (his name is Saint) and regularly babysit three wonderful dogs (two goofy Mastiffs and one sassy little Basset Hound. l’m comfortable with everything from high-energy playtime to gentle senior care, and I treat every pet like family. I currently work 7:30am - 4pm on the weekdays. My office is pet friendly, so I can bring your dog to work with me if you need me during the week. Otherwise I can be available for evenings during the week. My weekends are usually completely free though! I make sure all pets are comfortable, well fed and get play time in. Dogs aren’t meant to be idle all day, and as an active person I love to walk dogs and have some playtime in the backyard. My pets and my client’s pets always get spoiled rotten with cuddles and kisses. <3

About: I have had Dogs and Cats my whole life. I have also done drop in care and pet sitting as well as dog walking for friends and family. As many as 7 dogs at one time. I currently have 2 dogs myself, a senior and a 7m old high energy puppy! I am familiar with Basic Puppy Training, Bathroom Schedules, Feeding Schedules, Medication Administration, Play Needed for different Breeds as well as Leash Walking. I work from home with a semi-flexable schedule so I can be there as needed as long as it works around my very few set in stone meetings! I will treat every home with the utmost respect, and make sure every animal/family member is happy, healthy and safe with whatever services are needed.
“Sheila was wonderful! She left detailed notes that reassured me that my pups were doing well and took the time to bring my shy dog out of her shell. I will definitely request her services again next time!”
“Cindy takes such good care of our dog. As he gets older it’s so much harder to leave him but she communicates with us so well and I know he is in such good hands while we are away!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s a part of my everyday life. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old, and I have pets of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs playtime or a senior cat who just wants a calm, cozy space, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. As an adult student with a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I love having that extra time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve — whether that means daily walks, play sessions, feeding, or just being there to keep them company. My schedule allows me to be dependable, responsive, and available when pet parents need someone they can count on. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel right at home. I stick to their usual routines — feeding times, walks, medication if needed — and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep their pets on a familiar schedule. I take time to bond with each pet, provide updates to the owners, and make sure their home stays clean and secure while they’re away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, love, and full attention to their needs.
About: In highschool I earned a certificate course completer in pre-vet, and competed in the statewide Future Farmers of America (FFA) competition. While there I learned how to properly administer oral, otic, ophthalmic, and injected medications. I truly love and care for every animal I meet! I always try to make them as comfortable as possible by recognizing their body language and tending to their needs. I've owned two cats for over 13 years and have owned several other kinds of pets like fish, freshwater snails, and leopard geckos too! I will be going into college late august, so I have all the time in the world to take care of any animal during this summer! While in a client's home I will try to clean up any mess a pet will leave behind and try to make the animal feel as safe as they possibly can. As a cat owner I have enough patience to move mountains when pets act out and will remove them from any situation they feel stressed or fearful in.
“Marne is the best! She visits my Harper on drop-in visits and gives me peace of mind in knowing he is well taken care of. Harper loves Marne which makes me happy. I highly recommend Marne to take great care of your furry family members!”
“This was our first time using Rover because previously we have had friends or family nearby to watch our cats. Raven provided great communication throughout our extended trip that helped provide peace of mind. She also built a relationship with the cats throughout the week and was always punctual for our preferred drop-in time. We look forward to booking with her again!”
“Kassidy is a loving and friendly professional. She takes great care of my fur babies when I go out of town. She is punctual, communicative, and a great friend to my dog Teddy. I would recommend her to anyone in the Frederick area. Thank you Kassidy!!”
“Thank you so much for your help tonight and letting me have a night out. I will definitely use your services in the future! Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Buckeystown
I hired Samantha through the Rover app for drop-in visits while I was out for work for 12 hours, and she did an amazing job. She arrived on time for every visit, made sure my girls were let out and cared for, and sent thoughtful updates each time, which really put my mind at ease. I was extremely nervous since I had never left my fur babies with a stranger before, but Sarah was wonderful and made the entire experience stress-free. I felt confident knowing they were in great hands. I will absolutely be hiring her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Buckeystown 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
