As usual, Shemoy was wonderful with our kitties and taking care of our house during her visits. This is the second time we have used her and she is great!

About: Taking care of domestic and exotic animals growing up was an enjoyable, it gives this heartwarming feeling. I have over 15 years of experience of taking care different pets. I am willing to go out of my way for my pets, friends, family and new clients. I helped with dogs birth, puppies care, and senior care. I have a set schedule for my dog from the time I wake up to going to bed at night. Feeding, exercise and playtime will be tracked so you know your pet is getting what they need. I will obey all rules and schedule that is given to me for the best care for your pet. Your pet is in great hands, playtime and optional bathe will be included in house sitting so you can come home to a happy and clean pet if they end up having too much fun outside.

Sarah went above and beyond to ensure our animals were taken care of while we were gone for a long weekend. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to take care of them for us! Will definitely be using her again in the future!

About: I love getting dogs out for fresh air and exercise while making sure they always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or prefers a slower, more relaxed pace, I’m happy to match their routine and personality. My goal is to provide plenty of attention, activity, and companionship so your pup stays happy while you’re away. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule while I’m focusing on pattern testing. This gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. My neighborhood is a fenced-in dog park with plenty of lush grass, perfect for safe off-leash play and zoomies! We're also steps away from a private beach and surrounded by scenic trails, so your pup will get lots of exercise, fresh air, and sniffs. I always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and keeping your furry friend happy and comfortable. Water, rest breaks, and lots of love are always included!

About: Hi! I have experience pet sitting, both cats and dogs. I also had a dog walking business when I was a kid. I have experience with all kinds of dogs due to my time working as a kennel tech. My love for animals also led me to work at multiple stables as well as at an animal hospital. I love going on walks and occasional runs. If your pooch is active I would be happy to take them on walks and runs. I am also happy to curl up on the couch with snuggly pups. I currently have a Great Pryenees named Maui Jim who likes to lounge a lot. I work part time so I have free time to take care of pups on occasional weekends and throughout the week! If you have any questions on availability please reach out! I understand how to properly care for dogs as I have one myself. I have experience working with all types of dogs from my time at the DogSpot Hotel. I am willing to crate dogs if needed, and I am a very fast learner if your home has any security measures in place for me to use.

About: Moved to California, MD area from being stationed in Japan! With a lifetime of experience caring for cats and dogs, I know that pets are more than just animals—they’re family. I’ve raised three dogs and currently have both a poodle and a cat. My skills include puppy training, crate training, basic command training, and managing pets with medical needs, including medication administration. I’m also experienced with reactive dogs, allergies, and maintaining breed-specific grooming standards. As a passionate pet lover, I volunteered with the Red Cross animal visitation program while Active Duty & St Mary Animal Humane Society. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own! I work part-time and live 10 minutes from my house. I always check in on my pets during lunch. My husband works nights so he is home while I’m at work and we switch. I have a fenced yard, and lots of dog friendly walking areas. I have two friendly pets who do very well with other animals. I crate my dog when I leave home for safety & use cameras to check in on them.

About: I’m already someone who loves being home, going on peaceful walks, and keeping things cozy, so adding a furry friend to the mix just makes everything better. I treat pets like little VIP guests and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a routine that feels calm and predictable for them. I always try to match whatever your pet is used to so they feel safe and comfortable. If I’m watching your pet in your home, I keep their routine exactly how you have it. They will have their meals on time, daily walks, play breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m very detail-oriented, so I pay attention to the small things like their favorite toy, how they like to be greeted, or where they prefer to nap. If I’m caring for them in my home, they get a clean, cozy environment, lots of love, and a peaceful space to relax. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to what makes them feel happiest. I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own and give them spoiled-in-a-good-way kind of love. I’m patient, observant, and good with pets who may be a little shy or anxious. I have a patient personality and animals tend to trust me quickly. I’m also extremely reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’ve cared for a variety of pets from rambunctious puppies to senior dogs. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.

About: I have had dogs in my household ever since I was a little girl. I have had a chocolate lab, boxer mix, basset hound, German shepard, pit bull, and now Mr. Oakley who is a lab/pit mix. I love to bond and care for fur babies and I enjoy playing and loving on them any chance I can get. Hi! I’m currently a full-time teacher in Anne Arundel County and an experienced caregiver who loves spending time with animals. My background in education has made me responsible, communicative, and dependable. Starting in June, I’ll have a much more flexible schedule as I transition from teaching, allowing me to offer more availability for walks and drop-ins. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I care for my pets in my home by making sure their food and water bowls are always full and fresh. I make sure that my dog gets some outdoor playtime each day to burn off his energy and to be able to stay healthy and to help us bond together. I love to spoil my dog with homemade popsicles, treats, and yogurt bars are his favorite! My dog loves to have all attention on him and he is a sucker for a belly rub followed by jumping in your bed to snuggle with you.

About: I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! I'm patient and give all the care I can to any animal in my care! I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!! When I'm taking care of pets, I follow whatever routine is given to me as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, letting dogs out to the go to the bathroom or play, and sitting with the dogs as much as I can, whether that be in the same room with them, or actively petting and playing with them. I try to be as present and caring as possible and I will follow any rules you have for your animals!

Amazing dog sitter!! Emilie kept us updated at every visit with our dogs. She really went above and beyond for our dogs and we can't thank her enough for all that she did while we were away. Also, the pictures were so great to receive. Thanks again for putting our worries at ease. Would definitely recommend her and rebook with her!

About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I would be honored to care for your pet friends! I currently have two sweet cats that I adore, and I frequently watch my family’s Havanese dog. I also have experience pet sitting and walking larger dogs, so I am comfortable with pets of all sizes. I have experience working with all ages, from helping with puppy and kitten training to providing gentle care to elderly pets. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, making sure they feel loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. My pets have big personalities, so I understand pets’ unique quirks and am happy to follow any special routines. Just let me know how I can help! My schedule is very flexible right now, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! My Rover calendar is up to date with my availability, so don’t hesitate to reach out for any pet sitting, dog walking, or drop in visits.

Phenomenal! I am in a situation where I'm starting to give fluids to my cat at home. My cat is a Tortie, so she is sassy and fights back on the process of being stuck for fluids. I gave up and called the vet, they couldn't get me in for a few days due to the weekend, but my cat needed the fluids now. Christina was able to come the day after I contacted her to help me. She was great! Very kind, easy to get along with. I felt at ease with her and she was very knowledgeable due to her experience as a vet tech. We got the needle in my cat and she got her fluids, Christina was a lifesaver!

Claire is exceptional! She came to our home for drop in visits with our dog and cat. I cannot recommend her enough. When our dog was anxious from fireworks and thunderstorms, she spent extra time with her to make her feel comfortable. She also spent extra time when we lost power to make sure the house stayed cool. She took her for walks and fetch sessions and when she didnt want to go outside she played with her inside. We absolutely trust her with our pets and home and you should too.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Dowell on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 547 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dowell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dowell stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Dowell 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Dowell with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dowell. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
