“Absolutely fantastic sitter! She was warm and professional from our first meeting and gave Dobby top tier, attentive care all weekend. He was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. Highly recommend, and I look forward to booking her again soon!”
“We’ve had the pleasure of having Rachel come and stay with our almost 16 year old Jack Russell Terrier who thinks he’s 2. Rachel is loving and caring. Medications were dispensed on time and we came home to our home as we left it. We hate share with others!”
“John was an awesome pup and dog sitter. I had a last minute trip pop up in my go to Dog Sitters had moved out of the country. After some rigorous searching on Rover, I came across John‘s profile. He had great reviews and was super responsive. We scheduled a meet and greet just before I had to leave and the dogs were definitely on board. John kept great updates / photos during the entire trip and was very thoughtful about my return to make sure the pups are taken care of.”
“Amanda was great with our pets while house-sitting for us. She frequently sent us pictures of our dog while she was out walking him, and our cat around the house. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie took great care of our dog and two kittens during a house sitting! She was super sweet, communicative, and as a pet parent herself she knew how to give them all the attention and affections they needed to make sure they are comfortable while we were away for a couple of nights. Highly recommend her.”
About: I have watched dogs and cats for the past 2 years. I’ve always loved animals and bonding with them! I love dog walking and playing with dogs outside to make them happy. I am very good with caring for dogs and making them feel loved! I am not working another job but I do have practice most nights during the week. However, during the day I will always be around unless I am at the gym or running an errand! I have a fenced yard and 2 very friendly dogs. I take them out every 3 hours and keep a routine schedule of when to feed them. Any dog is able to sleep in my room and bed if they would like.
“Clarke was great! Took the best care of my Hazel girl. She gets some separation anxiety, but Clarke was so sweet and attentive that I was able to relax knowing my pup was in good hands.”
“Renee was an absolute pleasure to work with! From our initial meet-and-greet, she took the time to build a connection with my wife and me, but most importantly, with Prince. She shared her previous pet-sitting experience, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood Prince’s routine, personality, and what works best for him. Renee cared for Prince while my wife and I celebrated her birthday locally, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was punctual, attentive to his feeding and walking schedule, and spent genuine quality time with him—from long walks to belly rubs and a little indoor fetch. Throughout her visits, she kept us updated with messages and photos of Prince, which we really appreciated. She was also incredibly thoughtful about our home, even letting us know it had gotten warm inside and recommending that we turn on the AC for Prince’s comfort. After both visits, we had a quick debrief about how everything went. Renee was communicative, caring, dependable, and clearly invested in Prince’s wellbeing. We would absolutely trust her with Prince again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable sitter!”
“Jasmine was fantastic! She was very responsive, took great care of my pups, and kept me updated throughout their stay. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care, and it was clear they had a wonderful time with her. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Kathryn! She took fantastic care of Winnie, and it made our night to see Winnie having so much fun and playing with her. Kathryn made the entire process so easy and stressfree. We look forward to having her stay with Winnie again soon!”
About: Growing up as the youngest of five kids in a dog-loving family, I have spent my entire life surrounded by pets. From growing up alongside our family dogs to caring for my own 11 lb Poochon, dogs are an essential part of my daily routine. I also have experience providing dog walking for my friends and short-period pet care for my siblings' dogs whenever they needed a trusted hand. Outside of adopting dogs, my family has experience fostering rescue animals, including two energetic puppies and a gentle senior dog, ranging from small breeds to medium and large sizes. This hands-on experience taught me how to read dog body language, help pets adjust calmly to new environments, and handle diverse temperaments across all stages of life. I am experienced in maintaining precise feeding schedules, managing exact meal portions, providing gentle exercise, and offering attentive, 1-on-1 care. All outdoor time and walks in our neighborhood are strictly conducted on a leash for maximum safety. Whether your dog needs structured daily routines, fun play sessions, or specialized small-breed or senior attention, I will care for them with the exact same dedication, love, and safety I give my own! I dedicate focused, flexible time to dog walking and pet care around my routine. I have open availability to fit your pup's needs, offering dedicated 1-on-1 time, reliable check-ins, and consistent daily routines that match your dog's preferred sleeping schedule and energy levels, ranging from gentle, relaxed days to active play sessions Safety and health are my top priorities. All walks are strictly conducted on a leash, and I am meticulous about following your instructions for exact meal portions, dietary needs, and food or environmental allergies. I am also comfortable and precise when managing any medication schedules or special health requirements, ensuring your pet remains safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.
“Ava and our pup have formed a great bond and we appreciate that we have someone we can rely on to watch him when we go out of town. Ava always sends updates and photos and we know our pup has a great time!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, always loved taking care of them and giving them the love, attention and care they need! I have one dog, he’s a pitbull who’s been around most of my life. I’ve been dog sitting and walking for a few years now so i have plenty of experience and i’m excited for more! My schedule is pretty clear so i can be very flexible, i'm available Monday-Sunday from 11am-6pm. I can be available most holidays throughout the year. I have a fenced in yard and lots of open space for them to run around. If i’m at a clients house i will be respectful of any rules they may have.
“Nicole stayed at our place to watch our cat for almost two weeks and did a fantastic job! She was responsive and checked in regularly, and we came home to a happy cat. Our cat is very social and needs a lot of interaction and playtime, and it gave us peace of mind knowing Nicole was looking after him. Plus she took great care of our house and kept our plants alive. We’ll happily call on her again to take care of our cat when we’re out of town!”
“Mia stayed with our young GSD for a full week when we went out of town and was fantastic. She provided frequent updates, administered his ear medicine (which is not easy!!) and left the house in great shape. We will definitely book with her again, and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you Mia!!!”
About: Hello there! My name is Ian, and I've been a dog walker of and on for about 7 years now. I grew up with a black lab by the name of Rocky. He and I were best friends. The kind of friendship where he was always excited to see me, go out for walks, and steal the blankets off of me at night! That's the sort of friendship I'd love to share with your dog. I'm experienced with both dog sitting and walking. Before doing either, I like to take some time to visit both you and your dog so they get used to me and vice versa. I like to try and give your pet comfort and a chance to adjust to me. For dog walking and visits, I try to be flexible with my hours. I try to show up early or right on time, if I know I am running late I make sure to call to let you know so you can adjust your schedule if need be. For house and pet sitting, I like to try and leave the house cleaner than when you left it for when you get back. If I am pet sitting, I make sure to stay with your pet throughout the day, and if I plan to do any walks for others during my time there I will make sure to inform you and talk things over to make sure your dog still gets the best treatment and care that they deserve. I'm also capable of making sure of giving them any medication that they might need as well as possible additional care. I'm hoping to meet you! I currently work part time! I am available starting after 3PM on Mon - Thursday, and free for any time Saturday and Sundays. My current plan is to try and free up more of my time to be able to help in the mornings too! I am more than happy to help make any personal adjustments your pet might need. That can include feeding, more of a focus on play time, or any other need. I also know pets all have different personalities and enjoy speaking with the owner to best learn about their dog or cat. Knowing their dos and don'ts is very important to me!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs throughout my life and also spent a year early in my career working as a veterinary assistant, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals with different personalities, ages, and needs. I currently offer dog walks and drop-in visits (dogs and cats) on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During drop-ins, I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter boxes, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention while you’re away. For walks, I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine and any instructions you provide. A little about me: I live in Crofton, am a mom of three girls, and a pet mom to two boy cats of my own. I also previously worked as a government contractor, where reliability, responsibility, and attention to detail were a big part of my everyday work. I’m currently in school working on my Political Science degree. Between my professional background, veterinary experience, and years of caring for my own pets, I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your animals and entering your home. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My weekend availability allows me to give each visit the time and attention it deserves, whether your pet needs a walk, a potty break, a meal, or just some company while you’re away. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any care instructions you provide. My previous experience as a veterinary assistant taught me to pay close attention to an animal’s behavior and recognize when something seems out of the ordinary. During walks and drop-ins, I’ll prioritize your pet’s safety, keep you updated, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to show mine.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my experience as a former dog owner. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy learning each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m also interested in animal behavior and care, so I see pet sitting as an opportunity to continue learning while giving pets the same love and attention I would give my own. As a full-time college student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to care for pets around my class schedule. I plan ahead to make sure I can dedicate enough time and attention to each pet I care for. When you leave your pet in my care, I want you to feel confident knowing they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own, while respecting their routine, personality, and individual needs. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect, keeping things clean and making sure your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind while you’re away.

Madison did an amazing job watching our three dogs while we were out of town for a long weekend. One of our dogs is extremely shy and quirky and Madison did a great job giving her space so she could warm up to her. I’ve never seen my dog lay next to a stranger before but she felt very comfortable with Madison! We’d recommend Madison to anyone with dogs!
We are so thankful to have found Vesper to stay with our 7 year old pug. He has never been boarded and has only stayed with family friends when needed. Vesper was so nice, reassuring, and put our mind at ease while we were out of town. She was responsive and professional right from the beginning, and took great care of our boy. I would highly recommend her services. We would definitely use her again next time!
Mia took such great care of our XL dog, Miller! :) she sent many updates and pictures throughout her stay, and left our house in better shape than it was when she got there! she was very respectful, communicative, and responsible. we can't wait to book her again!
I would highly recommend Trishia for in house sitting, she was terrific while tending to all our cats and dogs. She let us know when she would be arriving at the start of the visit and also when she was leaving at the end of the visit. Each day she sent pictures of all the animals and let us know how they were eating and playing at both breakfast and dinner. We could tell from the pictures that the animals were relaxed and going about their daily routines as normal. Upon our return we found the house was very clean, much cleaner than we had left it. This was very welcoming and much appreciated. In summary, I give Trishia very high marks.
Michael was an awesome pet sitter for my 2 kitties. Each time Michael visited them, he made sure to spend quality time with them. He even worked himself to get the cats to come to him. My girl cat, it takes patience with her as she is very scared and hides and Michael really wanted her to get some attention. There was a slight break in her when Michael wanted to stop by to feed them dinner with my approval even though he was only instructed to just feed them breakfast. Good job Michael and think you so much for being available to take care of them! I will use you again in the future!
Stephanie took great care of our dog and two kittens during a house sitting! She was super sweet, communicative, and as a pet parent herself she knew how to give them all the attention and affections they needed to make sure they are comfortable while we were away for a couple of nights. Highly recommend her.
Dana is great! My cat, Mooncake, was diagnosed with IBD right before the holidays and Dana gave him his medicine and followed special feeding instructions to help keep his symptoms under control while I visited family for Christmas. Mooncake can sometimes be skittish around new people, but he seemed very comfortable around her immediately and I knew he was in good hands.
Brian provided excellent care for our dog and his communication was terrific. He was on time, sent photos/messages, and gave our dog plenty of attention during each visit. She was very relaxed and comfortable when we returned home. I also appreciate Brian’s flexibility as we didn’t know what time we would be away until the day before. I would highly recommend Brian to care for your pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Crofton is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $78 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 10,280 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crofton. 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 Crofton 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 Crofton 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 Crofton 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.
