“Jenny was extremely helpful when we needed a drop in visit for our dog Chester at the last minute. She answered my request promptly and initiated a meet and greet immediately. She asked great questions, sent a photo when she was here, left a note when she left, and followed up afterwards. Would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Adrienne was amazing, especially for filling in at the last minute for another sitter. She sent updates with pictures, and the pets were happy and well cared for when I arrived home!”
“Lauren took extra special care of my cat. She took the time to meet ahead of my trip out of town and followed all my requests. She communicated daily and went above and beyond what I’d expect when caring for my cat. I will definitely ask her back!”
About: Have watched family and friends’ dogs in my home for years. Currently have 2 family dogs of different sizes and ages. Range of experience. Lots of walking, playtime and snuggles. I’m home during the day and can adjust my daily schedule to the needs of the dog. My kids are in school during the day so it’s quiet during the day. I have a fenced in yard with room for dogs to play and take care of business. I have 2 dogs at home so your dog will never be alone. My kids and younger dog loves to play. The neighborhood is full of walking paths for walks.
About: I understand that leaving your pet alone can be extremely stressful, but there’s no need to worry! I absolutely love animals and I have the patience to work with any - big or small! I promise to provide the same level of care to your pet as I would my own. I am a high school teacher, so I am currently available only on weekends. However, for the holidays and during summer break I typically stay local so if you are going to be traveling please take me into consideration! I am very comfortable working with dogs in their homes. If they need to be walked, I can easily handle putting on a leash and picking up after them. I am also comfortable handling any toys, food, or medicine your pet may need.
“Devon came to our apartment last minute to help with the animals when I had to take my daughter to a doctors appointment. He is such a lifesaver and always tries to accommodate my schedule and helping us out!”
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.
“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!!”
“Kayla is a fantastic cat sitter. My cat doesn’t warm to people quickly, but Astrid made friends with Kayla on the first day. I lt was such a relief to know that my cat was so being well cared for while I was gone.”
About: Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 4-13 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained Otis from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs! Other than taking care of the house and kids, taking care of dogs is my only other job, so your pup will get plenty of needed attention and have lots of fun with us!!! We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. We have a large area for dogs to sleep overnight comfortably either on a dog bed or crate, whichever is preferred.
About: 3+ years of dog sitting plus 4 years volunteering at the Humane Society — experience with every breed and age, from tiny pups to gentle giants. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Your pup’s safety and happiness always come first with me. Big, small, shy, or silly — I love them all! I’ll make sure your dog feels loved, safe, and spoiled while you’re away. By day I teach kids, by night I spoil pets! I’m available after school, with plenty of time on weekends and breaks for longer stays and extra snuggles. I know how important it is to feel at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and every home with respect — keeping both safe, clean, and cared for so you can relax. I’m confident handling all breeds, temperaments, and special needs.
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 pets, and a great walk. I just lost my pup recently so I think this would help. I have a genuine heart, time and patience for your pets. I have taken a pet through general puppy training, and I have also administered shots for an ill pup. I own 2 cats so I love a feline as well. ❤️ About me, I am easy going, trustworthy, caring and kind. I am very detail oriented and observant which I believe are key traits in caring for pets. And I’ll bring the treats! I’m very flexible currently, name the time and I can put on my schedule. I am in easy to work with, and will be on time I care for my pets as if they are kids. They have the bed, treats, food and all the snuggles they need. I did have a pet with diabetes and so I can do shots if necessary
“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: I have been caring for animals since I was a kid. Growing up on a farm I learned how to care for chickens, dogs, cats, lizards, horses, cows, pretty much any animal you can think of. There is nothing I love more than the company of an animal. I have experience with horses from feeding, riding, to basic medical care. I’ve cared for a dog that had recently gone blind and managed all medications including steroids and pain medications. I’ve raised my own dogs and provided them with care and love and of course lots of fun games. I am also a wildlife rescue clinic tech where I help rehabilitate wild animals and release them back into the wild. I’ve dealt with anything from squirrels and opossums to hawks and owls. I am very comfortable with giving any medications. And will always provide the animal with a loving and compassionate heart. Animals are truly my biggest passion and not a single day goes by where I don’t have either a dog, cat, horse, or one wild animal by my side. Right now I work part time on Friday from 10:30am-9:00am and Saturday from 7:00am-5:30pm. For the other days I am mostly just working on school as I take classes at an online college. I will provide the care for the animal as the client would like. I love to walk dogs so if no fenced in yard is available I will provide many walks throughout the day.
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

Kaya watched my two cats for just over a week. The cats were well taken care of and our apartment was as well! Kaya communicated quickly when there were concerns over a leak in the apartment. Kaya is responsible, timely, friendly, and is great with communication. She takes great care of cats and the apartment, we will book with Kaya again in the future.
We continue to use Jenny anytime we need cat care. Knowing she is checking on them gives us a lot of peace of mind while traveling because she follows our (complicated!) feeding instructions for our four cats without issue and gives great updates at every check in, including multiple photos. Our cats adore her, even our shy cat happily comes out to greet her and eat! Thank you, Jenny!
Genevieve is an AMAZING sitter! My dog, Ruby, is a quirky girl and can be hesitant around new people, but Genevieve was understanding and patient and dropped by a couple times before our trip to make some proper introductions. She was super communicative the entire time we were away and I felt so at ease knowing my Ruby was in good hands. We highly recommend!!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Buckeystown is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $25 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 6,122 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Buckeystown. 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 Buckeystown. 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.
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.
