“A week before our trip our kitty's condition got worse and she required much more care than we had originally talked with Elizabeth about. She took extra time to drop in and walk through all the new things so she'd be taken care of while we were away! We really appreciated all of her updates and she did so much to care for our sick kitty. She even learned how to give her fluids!”
“Marie was such a great dog sitter for our two senior pups! She gave us updates on their day, photos, and I can tell that the dogs had a wonderful time. They went on many adventurous walks. She also took great care of the house while staying. She was communicative whenever she had questions. We will absolutely be booking with her again next time we need a dog sitter.”
“Orianne is the best! She is so sweet, caring, calm. Madeline was comforted while we were out, which means the world to us. Madeline was happy to see us, and we could tell she was relaxed. Orianne will be our first call should we need a pet sitter again!”
“Sam did a great job watching our two young pups for a week in our home. He took detailed notes when we first met, making sure that he understood all of the instructions. He was very flexible and accommodating, and promptly answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“Second time having Zhanna watch my energetic boy, and couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ryder loves her, and I come home to a happy, content dog. Plus, she takes the BEST photos. Attentive to instructions, responsive, and overall one of the best sitters I’ve had on Rover!”
“Olena was fantastic! She was so helpful and caring towards our two large dogs. I got lots of photos everyday. She walked them often, and gave extra care for our golden’s hot spot. She let us know when she had any questions and was patient when I was slow to respond. She spent the nights in our home and was very respectful of the space. She even offered to vacuum when the dog hair started to pile up! She loved our dogs while we were away and we are so very grateful!”
“We appreciated Nicole’s attentiveness with our pups, updates and photos, and knew our dogs were so well cared for while we were gone for Thanksgiving.”
“Lindsey is amazing and was a life saver for our entire family! Our dog does not do well out of her element and we had to go away for 4 days. Lindsey, sent pics, videos, cute messages, and reassuring notes for us that made us feel at ease. And, most importantly, Hershee was happy!”
“Jessica watched my dog Olive for just under a week and was a great sitter. She was really easy to coordinate with and had great communication throughout the entire stay. Her dog Ernie and Olive looked like they had a blast playing together too!”
“They took excellent care of my home and our small dog. I loved the frequent videos and commentary on him. They definitely gave me peace of mind while traveling.”
“Emileo did a great job caring for our little old boy. He sent lots of pictures and gave good updates. We felt comfortable and unworried while we were away. Left our home tidy. Would definitely use him again.”
“Holly is a brilliant sitter! Looked after my dog like she was her own, plenty of updates throughout my time away, and left the house neat and tidy. Thanks Holly!”
“Rebecca took very good care of Tyson. Tyson is a little anxious and she was patient with him and he warmed right up to her. She also took excellent care of our home and was left spotless. Tyson was happy and loved her so much. We will definitely book her again.”
“Elisa was the perfect dog sitter when we went out of town for four days! She was extremely communicative, sent lots of photos and even left the house cleaner than when we left. With going out of the country, Elisa kept our mind at ease and we were able to enjoy our vacation. We cannot recommend Elisa enough and will definitely be using her again! She really is one of a kind !!”
“Cat was incredible watching our two dogs! She was patient and attentive with our nervous dog, and made us feel comfortable while on our trip by checking in and sharing plenty of photos.”
“Renee took fantastic care of my dog while I was away and clearly loved on him totally! She sent great videos of their walking adventures and him playing. The house was in terrific condition when I got home. I look forward to booking with Renee again when I travel. I trust her to keep my fur child safe and happy. Thanks Renee!”

Veronica is amazing!!!! I was recently overseas for a vacation and was gone for 12 nights— the longest I have been away from my boy, Crosby. Veronica was SO understanding and patient with me— she knew I was anxious and did everything possible to calm my nerves. Her communication with me was great - she sent lots of videos and photos and kept Crosby’s routine. She also took Crosby with her where/ when she could - to reduce his time alone. I arrived home to clean laundry and a happy dog! I trust Veronica completely and highly, hoghly recommend her!!!
Natalia was available on relatively short notice over a holiday weekend. She took the time to read all of our instructions and kept our quiet, calm, and shy dog company while house sitting. She left our home clean, washed any dishes she used, and was a very considerate. We really appreciated her care and would use her again.
Kathryn was incredible with our two high energy labs. She was communicative throughout the day with update and pictures. She also discussed schedule changes and asked for our preference if things needed to shift due to things like the weather. We have already booked her again for this fall!! Highly recommend!!!
Sam did a fantastic job watching our two cats, Sherlock and Watson. He stayed over, which was very reassuring to the cats. They like him very much and snuggle with him. He is very responsible and took care of our home respectfully. He sent us pics, which we appreciated. I highly recommend Sam as a pet sitter!
Sofia was amazing with Tommy. It was our longest trip ever and it was so nice to have someone so communicative and attentive while away. She noticed every one of his cute and bizarre behaviors and even helped rub a little toner pad on his kitty-summer-acne spot. If you need anyone to watch after your baby, Sofia is the one to call 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Nicole was wonderful with Reese! She kept me updated throughout the stay with thoughtful messages and photos, followed his routine, and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Reese was happy, well cared for, and clearly in great hands. I would absolutely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her!
We couldn’t say enough great things about Max being our Dog Sitter. He came to our home prior to our leave date to meet our dog Casey. She was instantly drawn to him and he put her at ease immediately. Casey is a bit more challenging to watch, but Max pulled it off without a hitch! We receive pictures and videos daily with updates on her progress and events that were happening. It made our trip so much more enjoyable, knowing she was in such good hands. When we got home and Max went to leave, Casey was so sad to see him go. At first, we thought she liked him better than us! He is definitely the best and we will use him for future needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - College Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in College Park on Rover is $55.5 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 10,137 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across College Park. 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 College Park 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 College Park 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 College Park 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.
