“Ava took such great care of our 3 dogs overnight. We were confident that our pups were in great hands and received many pictures/uodates throughout the days. We will definitely have Ava watch our dogs again!”
“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.”
“Leticia was wonderful with our two large dogs! She was punctual, communicative, followed all directions, and took good care of the house too. We’re looking forward to having her watch our dogs more in the future!”
“Kayla was an amazing sitter for Asja during my time away! I am very particular about my dog and can normally gauge from the meet and greet if the sitter is a good fit. The care, attention to detail, follow up, professionalism, and the love she has for her job and her furry clients are just a few shining examples of her superior work ethic. We were gone for almost a week and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was there taking care of and giving the best of care to my Asja. I highly recommend Kayla and plan to use her for future sittings.”
“Jamie was easy to communicate with, and just an overall nice person. Our Pitbull and Chihuahua were well cared for- we came home to happy, healthy dogs! She was kind enough to water our plants, too, and we returned to a house that was as clean as we left it. She texted pictures of them daily & we got to just have peace of mind and enjoy our trip. I would definitely call on her in the future, and I would recommend her to friends. Thank you, Jaimie!!!”
“again, Haley took wonderful care of our pup, Kizzie. We’re especially grateful for her flexibility, as our travel schedule can sometimes be a bit unpredictable . She keeps us updated with photos and always reaches out if she has any questions or needs clarification on care. Thanks Haley! You’re the best!”
“Kathryn did a great job caring for 3 cats, two of which had to be sequestered from the older cat Ethan is on meds taken in her food. Kathryn was very good about visiting the 2 kitties and playing with them. She also took good care of the house!!”
“Chandler was amazing! She bonded with my two Siamese cats almost immediately, adapting to their individual personalities beautifully. She played with them, cuddled with them and probably treated them better than I do!! I loved the great photos that she sent throughout the day and evening, showing them at play and at rest. Also loved the fact that she took the time to run and empty the dishwasher, wash her linens , put fresh water in their bowls and clean litter boxes before she left. I highly recommend Chandler and will be inviting her back in the future to visit and take care of my cats!!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since I was young. I grew up with dogs in my home and currently have two dogs of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly love all fur babies and would be so excited to care for yours! 🐾❤️ I am currently a part time student at Anne Arundel community college. I also have a part time job. My weekends are available. Weekdays I have a lot of free time during the day between classes before I head to work at 2:30-5:30 (usual hours). Safety is my top priority when caring for your pets. I will always make sure they are supervised, secure, and comfortable, whether we are out on a walk, during a drop-in visit, or staying overnight. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and anything else that helps them feel at home.
“Ryan was absolutely great! He pinch-hit for a Rover cancellation at the last minute, and was able to come for a meet & greet the day before sitting for our dog. He and Rory hit it off immediately and pics confirmed how much fun they had. Ryan takes his job seriously and asks lots of questions about routine, food, etc. We would not hesitate to use Ryan's services again. Two thumbs way up!”
About: I grew up with many pets. For example, I’ve had 6 birds, 3 hamsters, 1 dwarf gerbil, 1 leopard gecko, 2 cats, 2 dogs, and possibly more. I currently have 2 dogs. Both are rescues. Jasper is 2 years old and I’ve had him since he was about a month old if even that, and Raleigh who is 7 now. I’ve had her since she was 2. Aside from the doggy babies, I also currently have a brown anole that I took in from Florida. His name is Tommy and I’ve had him for 4 months now. He was a baby when I found him. I also have 2 fish, Gumball and Penny. I personally believe all animals are babies. I’ve also pet sit for family members before. I’m currently working part time and I am also a freshman in College. I do have a good bit of free time, and because I don’t live alone I have people home to help take care of my furry and scaled friends, where as some people may need some extra help that I’d be able to provide! I was raised right. I’m respectful, do not cross boundaries, and know better than to disrespect clients (human and animal, of course!) I’m a big empath, I love animals beyond comprehension. I’m a vegetarian that’s working my way to veganism if that can show you how empathetic I am. I also cry while watching Ratatouille. I love walking, I love talking to animals, I treat animals as if they are literal babies because they are just too cute!
About: Growing up, we always had some kind of a pet, from turtles to baby chicks, puppies to kittens! We used to foster kittens as well growing up & since living on my own, I've fostered dogs and pet-sat any time we could. Love all animals & trying to make them feel happy & comfortable :) I work 7:30-2:30 or 8-3 in DC but after work & on the weekends, I'm always willing to help in any way they I can! We have a dog of our own, medium in size, who loves making new friends and two kids that adore giving love whenever they can.
“Marcus and his wife, Shenee, were fantastic!! They were able to watch our pups relatively last minute. The dogs immediately loved them. You can tell they both genuinely love and are at ease around dogs. Shenee sent us frequent updates and photos. I would highly recommend them!!”
“Anh took terrific care of our pups. She was responsive, sending daily updates and getting in touch with any questions she had about dog care. I absolutely recommend her for puppy care and will request her for future needs.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Davidsonville
Maddi did a terrific job staying at our house to take care of our Princess Penny 🐶☺️ She went above and beyond by not only coming to meet Penny, us and get a tour of the house, prior to reservation, she came a second time to understand Penny’s usual walking routine. Over the weekend, Maddi sent numerous updates and pics about how Penny was doing. Maddi is compassionate, good with animals, responsive, prompt and easy to get ahold of. When we returned, Penny was happy, calm and our house was exactly the way we left it! You won’t regret choosing Maddi for your fur family’s care. I know we’ll be definitely be reserving Maddi in the future

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Davidsonville on Rover is $93.09 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,890 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Davidsonville. 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 Davidsonville 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 Davidsonville 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 Davidsonville 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 Davidsonville. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
