About: Hello! Thank you for considering me for caring for your fur baby! Dog walking, drop in visits, boarding, and doggy daycare services available! I work full time from home and have the flexibility to entertain, walk, or cuddle your pup for the majority of the day. If you dog comes to my home, I own a 6 year old golden retriever and your dog can join us on the many walks we take! If your dog prefers a solo walk, I am a very active person so I have no issue providing them that 1:1 attention! I am experienced with medication administration as well as dogs with special needs. Your pup will get all the cuddles, pets, and walks that he or she desires. I work full time from home, so I am available most week days for walks and playtime. I am able to provide boarding services during the week and weekend. I have a 6 year old golden retriever who loves to make new friends. My yard is not fenced but I am able to take pups for many walks. Dogs are free to play inside my home. I am home most of time during the work day and have a crate available if need be.
“Emily is a gem. She has watched our 3 cats (1 a diabetic who requires insulin twice a day) several times and has always done a terrific job. Our last trip, Emily visited faithfully despite having to blaze a trail to the house following a raging snowstorm. I cannot praise her enough.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Casie sitter for my cat, Storm, and she was absolutely phenomenal. From the start, she was well-prepared and proactive in her approach to caring for Storm. Her communication was clear and consistent, and her knowledge about cat care was evident throughout. I felt completely at ease knowing Storm was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Casie to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter—I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Hannah was fabulous. Because I had a sick kitty, she came over twice to go over his medication so she was comfortable medicating Tribble. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to Tribble (Rainbow Bridge) the day before I was to leave on vacation. She was great being flexible and sympathetic. My two remaining babies were well cared for. Hannah followed my "directions" perfectly and sent as many pix of my babies that I wanted. She even took pix of my shy baby under the bed where he was hiding! I would highly recommend Hannah for your pet sitter.”

About: I’ve spent eleven years as a go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and local clients. Whether it’s daily walks, or keeping up with feeding routines, I bring patience and enthusiasm to every job. I love making sure pets are content and stress-free while their owners are away. I work weekdays, so I’m available to pet sit in the evenings, on weekends, or on my days off, usually about twice a month on average I’m a careful and attentive pet sitter, always respecting each pet’s unique needs during walks and home visits.

About: I have experience training dogs of all sizes and ages. My family had dogs throughout the entirety of my childhood, giving me a deep appreciation for pets of all kinds growing up. I gained further training and experience through my employment at Petco as an operations specialist. Pet care has been a part of my daily routine for the entirety of my life. Whether it was making a special dinner for a picky-eater dog that needed medication, taking a rambunctious puppy out into the yard to relieve their energy, or taking multiple dogs out for a walk to make sure they get their exercise, pet care isn't just an addition to my routine, it is an integral structure to it. I have experience taking pets outside both in a yard and out on a leash for a walk. I have experience giving medication to animals of all kinds, as well as transferring animals into and out of crates/carriers.
“Margaret was wonderful! She visited us to meet Riley and learn her routine before we officially booked her. She kept us up-to-date on her visits and I could tell Riley took to her so easily. I felt so comfortable getting away and knowing our pup was happy and taken care of. I will definitely book Margaret again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Finksburg
Lora was absolutely amazing. She kept in touch the entire time I was away, sending updates and pictures that gave me total peace of mind. I was gone for four days and never once worried about my pets. Dexter, Stark, and Hydro looked happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It made it easy to enjoy my trip knowing they were in such good hands.
We are so grateful to have found such an amazing dog sitter! She is always on time, incredibly reliable, and so flexible when we’ve needed to make last-minute schedule changes. She truly goes above and beyond. She even shared great recommendations for a groomer and local pet shop, which has been so helpful for us as dog parents. Our pup is always well cared for and happy, and we have total peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!

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 Finksburg 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 Finksburg 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 .

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

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.
