“Keira was great with our old pup Toby while we were out of town. She was knowledgeable about care and Toby was in great hands. She gave updates and photos throughout the stay.”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was six years old, starting with a few fish. Then it developed into lizards, birds, hermit crabs and dogs. I love and care for all and make careful research to provide the best care. I’m home from college so my weekly routine is very flexible until the end of summer! Just in time for vacation! Personal preference is for afternoons but happy to work with anything. I keep alarms set at home for when to feed my pets so everyone knows when it’s breakfast and dinner time! Three times a day I will take my dog out for 30-minute to an hour long walk. As a 75lbs husky, my dog loved to pull on the leash but I was able to slowly train him out of that habit. Now he walks beside me and makes walking around the neighborhood a breeze!
“Kaitlin is not only a natural animal lover, but also a very kind and responsible person. She stayed at our home and cared for our dogs during a snow storm that brought almost a foot of snow with it. She is an excellent communicator. I felt very comfortable traveling out of town knowing that she was taking great care of our dogs and home in our absence. 100% recommend her! 😊”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Grace watched Bentley over the weekend and did a fantastic job! She did everything on my checklist! If I called or texted, she responded right away. She sent photos. She took good care of my dog and my house too!”
“Madison took the time to get to know our dogs are their quirks, and took excellent care of them and our house. Super responsive and knows how to work with “difficult personalities” and definitely won our dogs over. Will definitely rehire. Thanks Madison.”
“Samantha has cared for our dog (and home) twice now. Again we returned home to a happy pup and clean home. Samantha kept us informed and sent photos, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”

Experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages/needs, including disabilities and special needs such as diabetes and paralysis. Trusted by neighbors and community members to care for dogs, cats, fish, and rabbits for 8+ years. I’d love to meet your furry family!

“I had the pleasure of working with Robyn as my dog walker/dog sitter. From day one, it was clear that Robyn had a genuine love and passion for dogs. Her professionalism and reliability were outstanding. I always knew I could count on her to be on time and take great care of my furry friend. Not only did she ensure my dog got plenty of exercise and fresh air, but she also provided the companionship and attention that my babies need. She made sure to always send daily updates and pictures! What sets Robyn apart is her deep understanding of canine behavior. She knew just how to handle my dog’s personality and needs, making every walk a positive experience. She made sure to ask me about training and what she can do to follow our usual routine as closely as possible. My dogs absolutely adored Robyn and were always excited to see her. Safety was a top priority for Robyn as well. I appreciated the thoroughness in making sure my dog was secure during walks, especially when crossing streets or encountering other dogs. Her attention to detail gave me peace of mind. I can’t recommend Robyn highly enough. She provided exceptional care, trustworthiness, and genuine affection for my pet. If you want a dog walker who goes above and beyond, Robyn is the one to choose. My pups and I are truly grateful for her wonderful service and will be recommending her to family and friends.”
“Dorothy was great with my dogs, and sent me pictures each day I was away. They loved her! I was comfortable and had little worry about how they well they would be taken care of. She may have spoiled them more then me. Would recommend her and will be using her services again.”
“Brent takes amazing care of our pups. I know I can leave the house and know they are in good hands. He has watched our pups several times and we have already arranged the next time. We are so appreciative for the great care!!”
“Morgan was very professional and respectful staying in our home. She took amazing care of our 155lb Bernese mountain dog. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I grew up with a highly energetic German Shepherd as a teen and have lived with and cared for multiple cats as an adult. Aside from that, I’ve done pet and house sitting for friends, neighbors, and acquaintances for several years. More than anything, I find animals fascinating, and I bring curiosity and a genuine interest in each pet’s unique personality. I’m currently taking a sabbatical from work so my schedule is very flexible. I can do house sitting any day of the week but walks and drop-ins are by arrangement only. When house sitting, I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s existing routine as closely as possible; same feeding times, same walks, same sleeping arrangements. Familiar schedules go a long way toward keeping pets calm and relaxed while their owners are away. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and ask clarifying questions upfront so there are no surprises. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior or health, and will reach out promptly if anything seems off
About: Starting at the age of 11 up to today I have been trusted to take care, bathe and feed animals in my neighborhood, friends and family. I’m well at observing and giving medication if needed for older pets but also can be playful and help with the puppies/kittens as well! I currently work at an animal hospital which helps in my knowledge of feeding and taking care of pets. I work part time, mainly mornings but I’m willing to work around that if needed. I am available on weekends and holidays to take care of your pets needs. I can usually make something work around my schedule. At my house, there is acres of land and space. I have two very friendly dogs which I can either keep away or keep your pet company whichever is fine. For the clients home, I’m willing to work with whatever situation/care is needed
About: I do not own a dog personally, however I have had experience caring for dogs. I have dogsitted for as long as I can remember, feeding, walking dogs and genuinely caring for them. I love all dogs alike and at the end of the day I just want to see your dog happy. I am very active, patient and gentle with pets and understand a dog/cats needs from experience and teachings from pet trainer friends and friends that own pets. I am meticulous and detailed when it comes to care, especially understanding that when dogsitting I am dealing with another persons pet, but most importantly an animal that deserves care and respect. I would love to walk or play with your dog, and have committed the time to this work despite also working from home in another profession. Services will include -Meet and Greet. -Convenient/flexible drop off and pick up times. -Excercise/walks at least 3 times a day or whatever is preferred by the owner. -Sanitized rooms, vacuumed daily, and house will never be shared with other pets. -Around the clock attention for overnight boarding, I am able to be work from home every day when I have a dog in my care. I work from home in Ellicott city with time dedicated to care for pets. I am pretty flexible and willing to go out of my way for pet care work. I live in a very walkable and safe neighborhood community in Ellicott City. While not gated, it is a closed community and offers numerous paths for dog walkers, including a dog park nearby as well. There is a shared backyard where I have seen dogs play and ample space in my townhome. I have had cats/ dogs in my home in the past with no problem.
“I was happy to have found Grace to take care of my cats. She was caring and responsible, following all the instructions I gave her. I would definitely recommend Grace to anyone needing pet care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Daniels
Clara was more than wonderful and so kind and caring with our corgi Francis, who suffers with Degenerative Myelopathy and has special needs. We knew from our Meet & Greet when Francis immediately responded to her that they would enjoy their time together. We felt more than comfortable leaving him with Clara and knew that if there was ever an emergency, she would handle it with the utmost professionalism and care. Clara's training and experiences makes her excellent in working with all kinds of animals. She was punctual and asked key questions about Francis' needs and what was required during her visit. We would give her the highest rating of any of the excellent Rover sitters we have used. We hope to be able to have her sit with Francis again soon.
Katie exceeded all of our expectations. She was attentive to every detail, followed our dog’s routine perfectly, and went above and beyond to ensure our pup was comfortable and happy. Her care, kindness, and frequent updates made us feel completely at ease. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter and would definitely use her again!
Aaliyah was the absolute best! She was so patient with our rescue pitbull pup, letting him get acquainted with her and come to her when he was ready (the string cheese snacks helped too). We felt very comfortable leaving our pup in her care, and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!!
Cameron is such an amazing dog sitter/walker/handler! His interactions with my skittish dog has left her feeling loved and secure while in his care. Cameron is prompt with communication and very professional in all his interactions. He was flexible when we had to change our departure time due to longer TSA check in time. He followed instructions in caring for Storm and left the house immaculate. I was impressed he put the sheets and towels down the laundry shoot, I definitely didn't expect him to do that. He even remembered to leave the light on in the living room because I was returning late. If you're looking for a dog walker or sitter, don't hesitate to hire Cameron.
Erin stayed at our home with our two dogs She is so responsible and she communicated with me frequently. One of my dogs had an upset tummy. She knew to give her chicken and rice. You can tell she knows a lot about dogs. Our house was left neat and clean and the dogs were happy when we got home. We will definitely be using Erin again.
Cristen took care of one dog and one cat for a week. This was my first experience with a house sitter, and it worked out great. Previously I've boarded the dog and had a local teen take care of the cat, but this was much better for the critters, since they are both are very social and used to me being around most of the time. Cristen gave the Border Collie the nice long walks that she absolutely needs, and I could see from photos how relaxed they both were. All instructions/guidelines followed, and the house was in fine shape upon return. Definitely will be rebooking with Cristen in the future.
Mona was great! She came to our house and stayed there with our two dogs. She sent us wonderful pictures and kept us updated on how things were going. It made me feel comfortable that I left them in good hands and I would definitely book with her again. Thank you, Mona!

FAQs for House Sitting - Daniels
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Daniels on Rover is $33.3 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 8,411 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Daniels. 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 Daniels 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 Daniels 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 Daniels 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Daniels. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
