“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: I've had pets of my own and have cared for neighbors' pets since I was a teenager. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and love spending time with animals! I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm looking to spend my free time caring for pets! I'm happy to coordinate walks and drop-in visits around my schedule and will always do my best to be reliable and flexible with your pet's needs. I follow each owner's instructions and make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared.

“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.”
“Amazing as always! So appreciate their flexibility. My partner had surgery that got rescheduled several times. They were totally flexible and changed times with little notice. It made the whole day easier knowing our pups were so well cared for while we spent the day in the hospital. We seek out Jonathan and Jen for any drop in visit needed!”
“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!”

She shared insightful updates and pictures each drop in visit and there was a huge jump from the first drop in visit to the last one; you can see how comfortable and happy Jola was starting to get with her through the photos!

Elizabeth did an excellent job taking care of our 6 cats while we were gone for 8 days. She communicated with me each time she came for a visit and provided photos of whichever cats she saw (several usually stayed hidden, but she did see all 6 at one time or another). She also kept me appraised of a couple of instances where she had to make visits outside of the normal visit time frames, due to circumstances beyond her control and she also made sure to leave out extra food when the time between visits would be longer than normal. We would certainly love to have Elizabeth be our pet sitter again, if we have any need for a sitter in the future.
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!
Jaime is a wonderful, caring pet sitter! We really believe she is a cat whisperer! Not just because she is so attentive to our 3 rescue cats, but we were amazed our cat Fearless who suffers from PTSD actually came out (he usually hides from everyone) and she was able to pet him and give him pet treats! Even our skittish cat Rudy let her pet him. Our siamese Louie, who loves everybody, languished in her attention. The pictures we recieved from Jaimee while she did her drop ins and her texts and communications with us made us feel happy and relaxed that we left our boys in good hands and could enjoy our time away. But the response our kitties had towards her truly amazed us. She really has a way with cats for sure! This was our first time using Rover and it did not disappoint! We have found our pet sitter, Jaime and have started to plan our next trip. Thank you Rover and we are so grateful for Jaime!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Finksburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Finksburg is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $43 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,837 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Finksburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
