Both dogs just love her and became so sweet and comfortable with her. She checked in with us multiple times each day with pics and updates! She’s the perfect house guest, super helpful with small tasks like garbage and mail. Kept the house tidy while we were gone! She’s our go to for our pups!”

“Betty was amazing with our pack. She sent daily updates and pictures, took care of the house, and cleaned so we wouldn’t have to do anything when we got home. I appreciate knowing that our babies were with someone so caring and attentive and I hope that she will be our sitter for any future trip we need to go on.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so taking care of all types of pets and animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was young and have obtained more skills in my professional career as a veterinary technician. I can do anything from feeding, walking, bathing, administering medications of all kinds, senior care, puppy care, and everything else under the sun! I’m currently taking a break from my professional career as a veterinary technician so I will be at home all day for at least 5 days a week. I have 4 dogs of my own and a 6 year old step daughter half the time that I care for as well. All animals in the home are pet friendly. I have a small area of fenced in yard with 10 acres of open land. The dogs always love a new play mate!
“Austin stepped in during an emergency situation, where I had to get rid of the sitter I was currently using WHILE I was still away on a trip. He dove head first into the sticky situation with very little details and instructions on my dogs! He was amazing and reassured my mind after a horrible experience while I was still away for 24 hours.”
“Tristan did an amazing job watching my dog Riley! This was a last minute trip and my dog has chronic health issues (IBD and ear infections). Tristan handled his care perfectly, and he communicated everything in detail! It was such a relief to find a sitter I can fully trust. I couldn’t recommend him more.”
About: My name is Sophia and I have loved animals since I was little. I have 3 fur babies myself! Brandy, Bourbon and Whisky (my little bar cart if you will). I also have a rabbit named Toast and all 4 of them are the light of my life. Every morning I wake up and they greet me with kisses and demands for pets. Of course I always give in. I have a bachelors in large animal sciences, have volunteered at forgotten cats for years, and have worked in emergency, oncology and dermatology departments. Currently I work at another veterinary clinic that helps dogs and cats get quick emergency care for more minor issues like ear infections. With all my past experience your fluffy ones will be in good hands! Since I work during week days and sometimes weekends, I would try to be back with your pet(s) as much as possible! (I work a total of 4 days a week and my schedule can be random since I’m in veterinary emergency). Weekdays I work 3pm -11pm and weekends I would work 10am-8pm. Any other time would be spent taking your pet on walks, brushing out their fur, giving them treats and all the attention they deserve! I can stay with/walk pets before work on weekdays. Weekends I would be unable to walk them unless you are okay with my hours and I am doing overnight or long term pet sitting. I would take your dogs for walks or let them out into the yard as much as possible. I will follow instructions left by you and make sure to give many updates and pictures! I believe pictures are the best way to feel comfortable with your pets care while also getting those cute pet moments while your away!
“Makinzie was amazing with Clark. She was so respectful, responsive and kind- definitely a pup lover and he loved her back! Will definitely use her services again! Thank you Makinzie”
“Erika took such great care of our poodle babies! We have already asked her to come back! She was attentive, detail oriented, very easy to communicate with and so flexible! The poodles loved her and you will too!”
“Valerie was absolutely fantastic! She's a great communicator with a great personality. She was very detail oriented with taking care of my dogs with special needs. She gave them lots of love and care, kept me updated with several great photos and videos. She took great care of my home as well and helped me out with a special request.”
“Ilene stayed at our house with our three small dogs while we were away for a week and she took the best care of them! She sent updates and photos any time she could, and she made sure to follow the extra instructions I had for miscellaneous things around the house. The dogs really seemed to enjoy her and I would rebook her anytime!”
About: Hi! My name is Olivia, and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs since I was 14 years old and have spent years helping care for my own pets as well as family pets. In addition to dogs, I currently care for my own cats and have experience looking after a coworker’s two long-haired cats and a friend’s two cats while they were away. I offer drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, fresh water refills, playtime, walks, litter box cleaning, companionship, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I am available after 5:00 PM for visits, walks, and pet care. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate more time to caring for your pets. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my daily routine, and I understand how important it is to have someone dependable looking after your furry family members. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and do my best to maintain their normal routine. I will ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and that their environment stays clean and safe. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care that both pets and owners can feel good about. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my daily routine. I work full time during the weekdays, but I’m available after 5 PM for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. On weekends, I have open availability and can dedicate even more time to caring for pets and sticking to their normal routines. Since I’m already a pet owner myself, caring for animals is naturally part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is for pets to feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide reliable care, communication, and plenty of affection. In my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and sticking closely to their normal routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection based on their personality and energy level. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and follow all instructions exactly as given, including feeding routines, litter box or potty breaks, medication needs, and any specific care preferences. I also make sure to keep things clean and tidy, and I always double-check doors, gates, and anything needed to keep pets secure. I understand that every pet is different, so I take time to learn their behavior, comfort level, and routine so they feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re gone.
“Ben was absolutely wonderful! He communicated well sent great photos and we felt very good about having him care for our dogs. He asked great questions when he was unsure and to me that is the mark of a great person and a caring pet sitter! We will ask Ben back for sure!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets for family and friends. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving them comfort and companionship. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m available for drop-in visits, overnight stays, and weekend care. I enjoy spending quality time with cats and making sure they stay comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe, calm, and loving environment. I pay close attention to each cat’s routine, feeding schedule, and comfort level to help them feel secure and stress-free. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every pet like family while keeping their space clean, safe, and comfortable.
“Abby was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly detailed and communicative throughout the entire stay, which made me feel completely at ease and relaxed while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them and their routines. She was always prompt, reliable, and honestly felt more like a friend than just a pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive!!”
“Amelia is ABSOLUTELY amazing. I could not have asked for someone better to stay with my pups while I was out of the country. She took amazing care of them and kept me in the loop! Would 1000% rebook with her! Thanks for helping to make my vacation stress free!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fagleysville
Andrew was booked last minute and he turned out to be an excellent pet sitter. I have a 12 year old Lab (Miss Emma); he cared for her in my home and everything went extremely well. I returned home to a clean house and a happy dog. Overall, Andrew followed all my instructions, communicated and followed up really well and even took my furry friend to a local park for fun time. I plan on rebooking Andrew again (as finding reliable and trustworthy pet sitter can be challenging at times). Thanks Andrew for doing a great job and your are now Emma approved too.
Tara came to meet her, Elyza took to her right away. Tara stayed at my house overnight for 11 nights, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Tara sent me pictures every day, which I really appreciated. I never once had to worry about whether Elyza was being well cared for and receiving all the love and attention she deserved. Knowing Elyza was in such good hands made being away from her so much easier! I would definitely ask Tara to care for Elyza again. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my girl, and I highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and responsible pet sitter!
Jacquelyn was amazing ! She was very caring and flexible when our plans are changed. Our girls million Tessie loved playing with her outside in the yard and she made them feel very comfortable as well as made us feel very comfortable while she was staying in our home. I would 100% recommend her to anyone else looking for a dog sitter.
Mike is an awesome sitter for our boys! He is absolutely our go to for our two large dogs. He takes amazing care of them, plays with them, follows all our instructions to the letter, and even walks them. Of course the boys love him and every time he walks in they are super excited to see him which is what matters most of all

The average cost of House Sitting in Fagleysville is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $47 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.

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 Fagleysville 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 Fagleysville 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 Fagleysville 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.
