“Stephanie was incredible! My dogs loved spending time with her. She is honest, trustworthy, reliable and goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are cared for in your absence. I will absolutely book with her again. Truly a pleasure to work with and you can relax knowing your animals are in great hands.”
“Rachel always does a great job pet sitting! She provides updates and is great with communicating. It is awesome to have a trustworthy sitter that my pets love. Will book again. ❤️”
“Hannah was such a wonderful sitter for Shuri! I put in a last minute request and she was able to accommodate no problem. Sent lots of pictures and updates and came home to a happy dog. This was my first time using Rover because I’ve had issues with Shuri’s separation anxiety and rubbing her nose raw when I board her at the vet. This experience was so welcoming and I hope to book Hannah again.”
“Tay was able to watch my dogs for the weekend In my home and house-sat for 2 nights. From the first time I reached out to her to the last day she was in my home, she was so responsive and very friendly. She provided updates and sent photos of my pups daily. She also left my house just as I left it!! Definitely will re-book with her if she has the availability, no complaints all!!!”
“Ashleigh was absolutely wonderful! She took care of Preston for two nights for us. I was a little nervous because it was our first time leaving P with someone. But Ashleigh eased my nerves by sending updates and pictures. It also helped that we met her before hand at Ps vet office that she works at. Knowing that Ashleigh has ER experience really helped keep me at ease in case anything should happen. She kept our house tidy, and followed our instructions. P seemed to enjoy his time with her and we look forward to having her sit again:)”
“They were fantastic! They took care of our baby who is a special-needs dog and made sure he was taking care of and he fell in love with them! In fact, it seems like he wanted to keep them and not us! Lol thank you so much! That’s what we wanted; someone to love our baby like we love on him.”
“We just can't say enough great things about Morgan!! Our girls love Morgan and even though they are happy when we get back home, they whine after she leaves because they miss her too!! I feel like Morgan really cares and treats our babies as if they were her own. 😊”
“This was our second time using Tracy and he was just as fantastic this time. We had an overnight trip and needed someone to stay in our home with our dog and two cats and he kept us updated and the pets were happy and safe with him there. I would definitely book Tracy again in the future.”
About: I love making sure pups of all ages are well taken care of. I have always been great with walks, baths, and tiring them out for when you get home. I am a working pet auntie so I know how hard it is to tire out babies after working all day or needs a break on a weekend. I am available all day on national holidays and weekends with enough notice. While out of the home, I am always very vigilant and am very great about keeping an eye on your baby and the surroundings. I have a pup of my own if your baby ever needs some companionship.
About: I've had a variety of pets over the years! Currently I have three cats, and one snake. I am well versed in caring for dogs, cats, snakes, birds, and isopods. I'm better with animals than I am humans a lot of the time hahaha. I also have two kids, one just left for college, and the other is 13. Currently I have a part-time job as a preschool teacher. Being part time leaves me with a lot of flexibility for care schedules. I will do my best to make sure that I meet all scheduling needs of each client, and openly communicate any conflict in advance. I care for animals however they need. Each animal is an individual and deserves to be treated as such. It's important to me to listen, and follow directions provided, as well as assessing each situation and the animal. My goal is to make sure that I am giving each pet the proper care. That can only happen with open communication with the pet parents.
About: My sister and I raised a litter of kittens when we were younger. I learned all about responsibility and how to handle animals early on. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on most days of the week and weekends. I am great with routines, cleanliness, and playtime. If you have any requests and details, like food and litter box specifics, toys, and schedules, I will gladly take notes.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals and years of experience caring for multiple pets, I bring a unique level of knowledge and compassion to every pet I care for. As a recent graduate of an accredited veterinary school and an experienced animal shelter volunteer, I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of personalities and needs. Your pets will receive attentive, loving care from someone who truly understands how much they mean to your family. I currently have a flexible daily schedule and am available throughout the day and night to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I have temporarily stepped away from in-clinic employment as I prepare for my veterinary licensing exam, allowing me to dedicate my time and attention to pet sitting and ensuring your pets receive consistent, loving care. My home is well-equipped to provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for overnight and in-home pet sitting. I have a securely fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, as well as two friendly dogs who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy socializing. A kennel is available for small to medium-sized dogs when needed, and the home’s hardwood floors make cleanup easier in the event of occasional potty accidents. Pets are also welcome on the furniture, so they can relax and feel at home. I also have experience caring for senior and chronically ill pets, including administering medications as needed. I understand that every pet has unique routines and needs, and I am committed to providing patient, attentive, and compassionate care throughout their stay.
“Greer has stayed at our home with our sweet pup several times now. This time she truly went above and beyond. She noticed that our pup ate a mushroom while he was outside in the yard. She immediately reached out to us, researched the mushroom to figure out that it was poisonous, and took him to the after hours animal hospital. It really makes us feel great knowing that our pup is in such good hands while we are away!”
About: Hi ! My name is Kayla and thank you for considering me to take care of your fur baby! I have experience with walking dogs, feeding, and playing with all types of breeds. I am responsible, meticulous, caring, and have a true love for animals. I am currently using my love for Animals through rover to earn extra cash as I attend classes at Auburn at Montgomery. On my free time would love to take your fur baby out for walks or even babysit. I will not be providing home service but can come to your place!

About: I own a Belgian Malinios + a Pitbull/Australian Shepherd mix. I will pet sit any fur baby you need me to! Before those pets I had a German Shepherd. I would love to take care of your baby and keep it safe and content while you get away from home wether it be for work, vacation, or medical. I have school, Monday-Thursday from 7:45am-11:45am. Once i come home i am able to come and pet sit. I have routines for my own animals so if you have a routine i would love to know it so i can abide! I have no current job due to personal issues but i have transportation. I drive myself there and i will have plenty time to play, care for, and keep your sweetheart safe. I keep one of my dogs in a large pen outside to keep him off the road. I go out to play with him 2-3 hours every day. With my puppy she stays inside and we play after every long nap she has and makes sure she goes outside with me very 30 minutes to ensure no accidents. If she has one it is immediately cleaned up and sanitized! She also gets enforced nap time in her crate to ensure she gets proper rest when she refuses her sleep times and becomes restless. I do not hit animals i just bring them outside for a bit until their next potty and reward. As for my cats they live inside with a litter box that is emptied out every other day. They get played with after their naps and i make sure no accidents happen on the floor with them.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 40+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior companions, I understand that every dog has unique needs -- and I truly enjoy getting to know what makes each one happy, comfortable, and secure. Caring for dogs has never felt like a job to me -- it’s something I genuinely love. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I take pride in creating a calm, attentive, and nurturing environment where your dog feels right at home. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to details like routines, feeding schedules, medications, and those little quirks that make your dog who they are. I especially enjoy getting outside for walks and making sure dogs get both the physical activity and mental stimulation they need. For overnight care, I focus on consistency and comfort so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities -- and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule alongside my full-time role. I have a consistent daily routine that allows me to provide dependable care before and after work, as well as in the evenings. I’m also available for early morning walks, evening visits, and overnight stays, ensuring your dog receives attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is especially flexible on weekends, which allows me to dedicate additional time for longer walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I’m intentional about only accepting bookings that I can fully commit to, so you can feel confident your pet will receive reliable, attentive care every time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to maintain as much of their normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and relaxed while you’re away. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and any specific preferences or habits your pet is used to. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, companionship, and exercise -- whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or simply spending quiet time together. I’m attentive to behavior and mood, so I can quickly notice if anything seems off and communicate with you right away if needed. I also treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own -- keeping things tidy, secure, and organized. You can expect regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My priority is always to provide dependable, loving care so your pet stays happy and your home is well cared for in your absence.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 113 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cecil. 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 Cecil 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 Cecil 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cecil 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
