About: I have taken care of dogs for over 20 years, including having my own dogs. I am a travel nurse and I usually volunteer to walk dogs at shelters when I’m on assignment. I work full time as a nurse, but I only work 3 days a week. My schedule is usually free on the 4 days a week that I’m off of work. I am currently living in an apartment while on assignment in North Beach, Md, so I can only take car of pets in your own home.
About: My goal is to take your spot as your pet’s best friend .. uhh I mean provide excellent care and service whenever duty calls :) My schedule is fairly flexible, and I am generally available each afternoon. I am sure that we can work out a reasonable time to get your pets situated! Owners rules are law. Whether it’s playtime, supper, potty time, etc I’ve got you covered. I am unable to provide services in my home at this time.
“Karen was great with our four animals (dogs and cats)! Karen was communicative, provided great updates, and let us know when one of our cats was having a minor potential health issue. Would recommend and I know our pets are already looking towards when Karen will be back to see them again!”
“Faith is a fantastic petsitter! We were out of town for 8 days and didn't have to worry about a thing back home. It was wonderful to find a caring person who could spend this much time with our pets. Boarding can be so stressful on our big dogs, but Faith was able to do overnights and wasn't intimidated by our Dobermans in the slightest. She was a perfect fit, and we were so blessed to find her on Rover. It was our first experience with the service platform being new to Southern Maryland, but we will be repeat customers for sure.”
About: Hi! I’m Renee — a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for pets since I was a kid. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and making sure every pet gets the love and attention they deserve. I’ve also cared for pets through house sitting for friends, including homes with multiple dogs and cats. I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and making sure each pet gets the attention they need I currently work full-time in Annapolis Monday through Friday from 7:45 AM to 4:15 PM. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and care in the Annapolis area after 4:15 PM. I live in North Beach and typically arrive back around 5:00–5:30 PM, so I’m also available for evening care in that area. I am generally available throughout the week and weekends, with the exception of Wednesdays and Thursdays in the evenings due to a part-time job. I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel between Annapolis and North Beach. On weekends, I have open availability for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, or extended care. I’m also available for house sitting during the week, with the understanding that I’ll be at work during daytime hours (7:45 AM–4:15 PM), and unavailable Wednesday and Thursday evenings. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of walks and playtime, and feel happy and comfortable. I’m also happy to give baths and trim nails if requested. I’ll always keep you updated and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Jessica was very responsible and extremely caring and hands-on with our senior cat (and hamster too). She did several check-ins a day and spent many overnights which requires a high level of trust and Jessica went above and beyond. She communicated constantly with updates, pictures and videos (seriously, top-notch communication) and she left our home in perfect condition. Our animals took right to her and I am grateful to have found someone so kind and committed.”
About: Hi guys! My name is Emily, I’m a 27 year old who loves animals. I really like to read, go to concerts with my friends, and spend time with my family. I’ve been house sitting and pup sitting for over 10 years now. My availability is very open at the moment considering I’m doing school virtually. Please feel free to contact me anytime for all of your dog, cat, fish, bird, turtle, hamster, cow, horse, etc needs! I also have a huge vegetable/flower garden so have plenty of experience with that if necessary. Look forward to hearing from you! I currently am working part time and doing school virtually so I have a very flexible schedule that would allow me plenty of time to help care for your babies! I’ve had 10 plus years experience with pet sitting so have had to handle many different situations that have made me a better sitter. I’m prepared for anything and love these pets as my own!
“Courtney was great! We felt very comfortable being away knowing that our pets were getting so much love and attention. We had clear and frequent communications and a plenty of pictures confirming all the good things happening. We'd (and our critters) would be very happy to see Courtney again.”
About: I have over 3 years of professional pet care experience through my roles at PetSmart, where I cared for pets, assisted pet parents, monitored animal health and behavior, and maintained high standards of safety and cleanliness. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments and understand the importance of providing reliable, loving care. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or companionship, I will treat them like my own and keep you updated while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent care, whether that’s feeding, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, medication reminders, or simply keeping your pet company. I understand that every pet has different needs and will do my best to follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 3 years of experience working at PetSmart, I’m familiar with a variety of pet personalities and behaviors. I carefully follow all care instructions, provide regular updates, and take the time to build trust with each pet. Whether caring for your pet in your home or during drop-in visits, I’ll treat them with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own cat, Luna.
About: I've had dogs my whole life. Grew up in a house with 2+ dogs near constantly. All family dogs were 60+ lbs each with the largest being 110lbs. My 75lb dog crossed the rainbow bridge Sept 2025, I am not ready for a dog full time but I do miss the company. I will spoil your dog. I do not care about breed. I am looking for weekends. I work full time, so I am ready to go around noon on Friday and depending on the needs can be around all weekend. Generally I do leave the house during the weekend for a couple hours during the day to do chores and stuff but other than that can be a total home body. If the dog is good on leash I have a great neighborhood to take walks. If you are looking for me to stay at your house over the weekend, I can provide as much potty coverage as you request. If you want me to stay over the week, I do have a day job with my schedule being 7-3. I have a 8ft privacy fence the whole way around my backyard with a dog door. I do not have a crate, but I can use yours if you want your dog crated. I follow your food rules. I used to make hot breakfast/dinner for my dog. I do keep some dog treats in the house but I will check with you if your dog can have that specific treat first and if there are any dietary needs. If you want me to stay in your house, lets write the rules down and I'm happy to do whatever. If you have poor cellphone service, it'd be great to get a wifi password.
About: Caring, dependable, and eager to earn your trust. I’m attentive, responsible, and truly love providing safe, loving care. New to this service, but have been taking care of family pets for years. I'm available for pet walks or drop-in visits anytime after 4 PM on weekdays and most of the day on weekends. Whether it's an evening stroll or a quick check-in, I'm here to help! I provide respectful and reliable care by closely following the owner’s instructions. During walks or visits, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I stick to their routine, give them attention and affection, and always keep their owners informed of any eventuality.
“Alayna was great with our dog. Sent frequent updates/pictures and was great with communication. She took my dog on long walks and even to the beach. I think my dog thought she was on a vacation while we were gone too since she got such great care!”
About: Hello! I grew up with both rescue cats and a dogs, and as such, I have developed a strong sense of patience and compassion, specifically with medically complicated and anxious animals. I have seen firsthand how stressful it can be for a pet when an owner leaves, so I try to incorporate as many mentally stimulating activities in my care routine as possible (with permission, of course!), such as lick mats and Easter egg hunts. Additionally, I have great experience with aquariums, including monitoring water quality, and am an avid plant person. I currently work 9 AM to 5 PM or 8 AM - 4 PM, depending on my schedule. I am available for morning and evening walks and overnight care throughout the week. To note, I am from New England, so the cold never gets in my way! I am very respectful of other people's homes. I want to make sure that an owner comes home to a space that is clean and well taken care of. I pay special attention to small details, including things like picking up dog toys, watering wilting plants, cleaning the dog bowls, and more. I do have a high-anxiety cat and am unable to offer in-home care.

We feel so incredibly lucky to have Jennifer to look after our puppies. She took such great care of them. They are older and have some health issues and I fully trusted her to treat them as her own. She was attentive and very responsive, sharing photos and updates often. I could not be happier and would highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Churchton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Churchton on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 8,478 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Churchton. 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 Churchton 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 Churchton 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 Churchton 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.
