About: Welcome to C & L’s Cozy Dog Retreat I have 2 pups, Chip & Lucy, ages 11 & 8, that I have raised from puppies. Many of my friends have dogs, and they frequently come over. I also enjoy riding horses when I can. I have experience working with anxious dogs & dogs in shelters also (as a volunteer). I love taking dogs for walks, playing with them, & give them attention. I limit the number of dogs I take at any given time so each pup gets lots of individual attention. You can see some of the dogs I have walked/played with in my profile pictures. I’m frequently in the Chestertown area and am more than happy to help with your pet-sitting needs. I offer drop-off and pick-up for your pups' boarding. I am available 24/7, Monday-Friday. I accept boarding and doggie daycare on a limited basis. Please message me if you are interested. This ensures I can give each pet the attention they need while ensuring safety. I am also happy to do multiple check-ins a day while your friend stays in their familiar home. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs. I can also kennel your dog if needed. A meet-and-greet with the dogs would be required before any overnight stays with us. Also, proof of immunizations.
“Rebecca did an excellent job staying at our home with Pippin! She was really prepared with questions to help the weekend good smoothly and to understand his needs. She was very responsive to messages and sent detailed updates and pics. Our pup had a great time!”

“Maranda was fantastic. I really can’t say enough positive things about our experience with her. She was quick to learn and work with the idiosyncrasies of our two cats, took care of our house which was immaculate when we returned and communicated with us while away as much/or as little as we requested. She is very personable, respectful and responsive.”

About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for 10 years, and I’m passionate about both dogs and staying active. As a schoolteacher, I’m excited to continue doing what I love while earning extra income to help pay off my student loans and purchase supplies for my classroom. I can walk dogs Monday through Friday after 3:30 pm. If you’re running late and need someone to help out in a pinch, I'm happy to assist. I’m available on Saturday and Sunday to walk your furry friend three times a day, or more if needed. Our dog is incredibly spoiled and loved. Whenever I come home, she brings me her ball, and we play fetch before anything else. She is groomed monthly, walked several times daily, and receives constant attention. When we have salmon, we cook her a plain fillet, which she loves.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2018 and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and birds. I currently have a cat and a bird of my own, and I’ve also had dogs in the past. I’m an Agriscience Education major and took Animal Science in high school, so I’ve always had a strong interest in animals and their care. I’m comfortable following feeding routines, cleaning litter boxes and cages, giving medications when needed, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and playtime. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I’m a college student, so my schedule can vary depending on my classes, but I have flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m able to plan visits around my class schedule and make sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I’m also happy to communicate ahead of time to work out a schedule that fits both you and your pet! I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they are in a safe, comfortable, and clean environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and any specific instructions they leave for me. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure doors, gates, cages, and other areas are secure before I leave. I also understand that some pets can be nervous around new people, so I’m patient and give them time to get comfortable with me. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel safe and confident while you’re away!
About: I am a mature and reliable pet sitter with a preference for cats but will also be happy to provide care for small dogs or other animals. I operate with a genuine love for all all animals and have a history of community service and donations to animal shelters and causes. I have been a cat owner for over 12 years and currently have one senior cat. When it comes to cat care, my extensive experience and commitment to feline companionship shine through. I specialize in socializing skittish cats, exercising larger cats, and soothing senior cats. I am detail-oriented, ensuring that your pets get the care and attention they are accustomed to, including medication management, grooming, and in-home care. I am proactive in communication and am also highly responsive, giving pet-owners piece of mind. But that's not all – my versatility extends to caring for dogs as well. I bring the same level of dedication and expertise to canine companions, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or adherence to dietary requirements, I'm well-equipped to provide comprehensive care for dogs of smaller sizes. With me as your trusted pet sitter, you can confidently leave both your cats and dogs in capable hands. Your pets' happiness, safety, and well-being are my top priorities, and I take pride in delivering exceptional care tailored to their individual needs, whether they're four-legged felines or canine companions. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate most requests with enough notice. While I can provide care for your pet in your own home, I am also available to host your pet in my home. I have a one-level home with hard wood floors (for easy cleanup) and pet-proof furniture. I do not let animals outside unattended so if you have a cat that likes to wander outside, I will not be comfortable allowing that
About: From caring for 10 senior dogs at a rescue, to bathing dogs that got sprayed by skunks, to training and taking dogs on their own outings to parks and nature hikes, you name it I’ve done it! Even flying with dogs! ✈️ I have experience with all breeds, ages, and like to keep pet parents informed with notes & pics. Growing up in farm country taught me to love and care for all animals, but dogs and cats are by far my favorite. I also have experience in administering medications to our furry friends. I left my career of being a nanny in CA to move to the east coast to marry my husband. That was 2019, and I’ve been boarding/caring for animals since then. I’m currently a stay-at-home wifey so the dogs get 100 percent of my attention when they are with us. We live in a 3 story townhouse with a small unfenced yard in front of our home, to a large grassy area on the side of our home, to a giant green grass patch directly behind us just out our back door. The neighborhood is VERY dog-friendly with lots of sidewalks and comes complete with a dog park in walking distance. Our home is dog-friendly meaning dogs are allowed on all furniture and we even have doggie steps for little pooches to get up on our bed if they wish. We also have a 2mile + walking path near us. So we have plenty of activity options. We even have Pluto cartoons for your pet to watch! Pets get 100 percent of my attention when they stay with us. Their comfort and safety is my priority as I do pet care full-time. Our home has no place that’s off limits to your pets. If they want to snuggle on our bed or relax on our couch or even be in our guest room - they are more than welcome wherever they are most comfortable. We even have a massive bean bag most animals love thinking it’s a giant dog bed 😂.
About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. Growing up, my mom had five dogs—some of which had puppies—and I helped raise and care for them. I’ve also cared for cats in multi-pet households, including feeding, litter box maintenance, and creating calm, safe environments for shy or senior cats. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I now have a black Yorkie of my own, and I treat every animal I care for like part of the family—whether they bark or purr! I currently work part time- and have lots of free time! I will send out a daily schedule of what I’ll be doing with the pets! I will take your dog out on walks on our neighborhood trail outside! I also have a few ring cameras, and will send a lot of pictures/videos throughout the day.

“Clarissa was fantastic! We ended up needing a last-minute person to take care of our fur baby so that we could be away for a night. Clarissa was available and willing to come to our home to meet our for baby in person before we went out of town. Then, she had great communication to keep us up-to-date while we were away. I have tremendous confidence in Clarissa and look forward to using her again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”

“Majiyah was amazing while I was away. I was a little hesitant at first about having a house sitter stay in my home, but she made me feel completely comfortable. She took great care of my dog and my home, and she really went above and beyond. When she thought he may have had a food allergy, she took the time to cook his food and make sure he was okay. She also took him to get a bath, picked up extra dog treats for him, and even cleaned my home before I got back. I noticed that my dog quickly became comfortable with her during her stay, which is always a positive sign. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend Majiyah to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since my high school days. I love caring for and building relationships with dogs because they are truly like your best friend when they get to know and love you. Currently I work from home and for the most part make my own schedule every day. I am looking to build loving relationships with every pet that I care for so every owner can confidently put their trust in me to bring their furry friends back to me anytime they need me to take care of them. Me and my husband love dogs! We have a doggy park inside of our residence as well as a lovely community of people who walk their dogs everyday I’m sure your pet will meet some friends as we go out for walks and play at the park. Please let me know if you have any special food or any other request that you need me to accommodate to ensure that your furry baby is okay so I can be prepared as much as I can to welcome them into our home. I make my own schedule every day so i am pretty much free Monday through Sunday each week. I will make sure I update the time slots that are booked as clients start scheduling their appointments. All small and medium-sized dogs will be more than welcomed to roam freely around my living room kitchen area and are allowed to sit and lay on the couches as well. The floors are hardwood so even if they have an accident of pooping or peeing on the floor it will be alot easier for me to clean up on the hard floors than the carpeted areas. They will be allowed to come into my bedroom or any other room as long as I am in the room supervising them. I will take them outside to potty every 2 hours timed from the time they arrive until their scheduled time of leaving. You can feel free to bring their favorite toys they love to play with but I will also be purchasing brand new toys that I'm sure your dogs/cats will love to play with.
About: I am here to take of your dog and to provide them the love they long when it’s vacation time for owners (or anytime you need to yourself). Provide exercise for dogs (usually in half-hour or one-hour increments). Pick up and dispose of dog droppings during walks. Check dogs' food and water supply to make sure basic needs are met after walks. I am very patient and show a lot of compassion towards dog. I just want them to feel at home away from home! I am also a very active person, so your dog will be able to have all of their fun they usually have or more when they are with me! I hope to walk your dog soon! Prices are non negotiable I am working from home currently. This will allow me to give your first baby all of the attention they desire. Please ask me any questions on any accommodations that we may be able to work out. I don’t have any pets of my own so if your fur baby isn’t fond of other pets they can feel secure being over my home. My I am close with my neighbors who do have friendly pets as well, so if your pet loves company, they can be easily accommodated. We also have a dog park walking distance from the complex
“This is the third time we’ve had Birol watch our babies and we wouldn’t go with any other sitter. He is kind, responsible and communicative. He takes great care of our older dog, Thor who is almost 14. Thor needs to be carried up the stairs and has accidents. Birol is always positive and takes great care of him. He also cares for our cat, Pearl. He sends pictures and always keeps you in the loop!”


About: I’m an experienced pet sitter, having been booking sits on another site for over ten years. I run a business based in Kathmandu Nepal and travel there frequently so am kind of nomadic when I’m in the US and cannot have animals. This breaks my heart! Please share yours with me! I've owned and trained many dogs over the years. I have opinions about how to do this but will respect your style. I just want to have one (or a few) around me while I work and walk and relax. I'm good at walking dogs on a lead, though always prefer if they can run. There’s little that can fill my heart so much as dogs running and playing. I have many great reviews on the other site and am happy to screenshot them and send them on to you. I work from (your) home so can spend lots of time loving your animals. Some dogs have spent hours lying on my feet while I work. Some ask to go out, and then in, every half hour, which gives me a chance to move. Of course, a good walk is always in order and snuggles if that's their preference. I can share many photos and reviews with you of my pet sitting over the years. I have earned a great deal of trust from clients both in animal care and in tending their home.
About: I have taken care of various pets for over 18 years. I’ve watched pets from all ages and varieties. I have multiple pets of my own, and would love to take care of others as well. I am currently self-employed, so I have a lot of free time to play with your pets! I am available to work any day of the week. I keep a close eye on any pet during activities to make sure they are consistently safe, as well as having fun! Safety is the most important thing when taking care of someone else’s pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 2,242 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Butlertown. 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 Butlertown 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 Butlertown 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 Butlertown 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.
