“As a first time puppy owner, finding the right person to watch your fur baby is nerve wrecking. Riley was amazing!! She provided in-home daycare for our pup and kept up with his routine. She sent pics and videos of him and he seemed so happy. I’ll definitely be booking her again to watch or furry friend.”
“Cheryl was an incredible help with a last minute drop-in. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure our two small dogs were well cared for. Her prompt responses and photo updates were such a reassuring bonus. Thank you!”
About: Hi there! 👋 After taking a two-year break to settle into a new area about an hour away, I’m excited to be reactivating my Rover profile! During that time, my family and I went through some changes — we said goodbye to our two beloved dogs and recently welcomed a playful new puppy who’s now 6 months old. I’m looking forward to socializing him while providing loving, reliable care for other families’ pets - whether you need help with walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or anything in between. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pups. Let’s chat and see how I can help make your days a little easier and your pets a lot happier! I am a stay at home mom and dog mom with a lot of mouths to feed! I am on Rover for not only an income but because I am readily available most days! We would love the opportunity to snuggle your fur babies :) I care for your animals as if they are my own. Love and plenty of play time if that’s what they are into. If they want to be a potato we have plenty of couches!
“Jason was very punctual and responsible with taking care of our two cats. He always sent us pictures and this was reassuring as we were so far away! We will definitely be using Jason again!”
About: I have always had all kinds of dogs around me in my family since I was very young and have had lots of experience handling reactive dogs I just graduated from high school and am looking for a few gigs to fill my summer break before college so my schedule is very wide open and flexible I have a very friendly puppy that will happily play all day long with any dog and am happy to do any crate training that a dog needs
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
“I think Kristen might be a dog whisperer. My 1 year old's eating and potty habits have improved after a couple of visits. Kristen was very responsive, flexible, and available. I am new to Rover and it was a great experience. Love the picture follow ups.”
About: As a proud owner of 3 dogs and a cat, I will strive to make your pet feel like my own. Loved, cherished, and lots of belly rubs. Right now my only priority is to focus on my upcoming school year! Besides that I am free on weekdays and weekends. Day and night! I care for my dogs in my home by providing them with the enrichment they need. Whether that is playing tug of war or treat hide and seek!
“We appreciated Lora's calm demeanor and care for our Heidi. She took time to schedule us for a meet-and-greet so she and Heidi could get acquainted and so she and we could discuss care needs.”
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
“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!”
About: I am a local environmental science student with extensive experience in professional pet and house sitting. Having grown up with dogs and cats, I have provided dependable care for repeat clients since the age of 12. I would welcome the opportunity to care for your animals and can provide references upon request. I am a local college student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to commit to various shifts. I am generally available to work during evenings and on weekends. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my availability aligns with your current needs. Caring for my own two dogs led me to discover a passion for working with animals, and I am now seeking opportunities to gain professional experience as I pursue a career in this field. To ensure both you and your pets are comfortable, I typically offer a pre-visit to meet in person. This allows us to discuss your specific care instructions and ensures you are confident in my services as a caretaker.
“Aye did a fantastic job without our dog, Danny. She stepped in at the last minute and allowed took fantastic care of our guy! He smiled all through his walks and his meals! We will definitely contact Aye again and would highly recommend that you do the same!”
About: I have always loved dogs and have helped friends and family with dog-sitting whenever needed. I have been a pet parent for over 5 years and am very empathetic to their needs and wants. I currently work 6am-2:30pm Monday-Friday. But I can do walks anytime outside of those hours. As long as you're ok that I wouldn't be there 100% of the time, I'm open to sitting on weekdays as well as weekends. I currently don't have any pets of me own at the moment, but I love to play and cuddle and make sure their needs are covered as well. Please let me know about any specific safety comcerns, so I can make sure I take the best care possible of your furry friend(s).
“Thank you again Jess! My boys (cats) are so well cared for when you visit. And I am assured of my home being safe in your hands as well. Thank you so much for your excellent service and care.”
“Jen and Jon are such sweet people! You can tell they genuinely love dogs. They strive to give purposeful quality time to your pet and it means so much! ❤️”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in high school. I have friends and neighbors that rely on me to take care of their pets. I've also taken care of animals other then cats and dogs. I've done rabbits and Guinea pigs. I feed, give baths, give medications and walks. I can currently do this full time. If you ask me to do a 24 hour stay. I am available for that as well. I just need to know at least 4 days ahead of time. My SO travels for work. And I would need to fit my dog into that schedule. Just know I will have other pets to take care while staying at your home. And will not be there 24/7. I will be staying at your house on my breaks and overnight if requested. We do not have a fenced in backyard. But we do take him on several walks a day. Regardless of the weather. He is unbothered by it.
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life. I had my own dog for 11 years, so I know firsthand what it takes to really care for a pet, especially as they get older. Since my dog lived until 14, senior care and keeping up with medication routines is something I'm very comfortable with, as I had to do for my dog in her last years. I've also looked after family friends' dogs and cats over the years including feeding them, taking them out, making sure they're getting enough playtime and attention. It's always felt less like a job and more like just taking care of someone I love. I'll treat your pet the same way! I lost my dog not too long ago, but taking care of others pet is my way of keeping that love going! I’m currently working part-time with a very flexible schedule the majority of the time! I work from home everyday, except Thursdays. I’m most free Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and the weekends. I have a large yard where your dog can run, explore, and play freely. Since I no longer have a dog of my own, my home and attention are completely focused on your pet during their stay. Dogs are welcome indoors and I treat them like family. They won't be left alone for long periods. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules and any medications. I send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 6,858 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Finksburg. 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 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Finksburg. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
