“Emily was extremely professional, attentive, and caring with my cats while she house sat for me over the weekend during my trip to Maine. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing all four of my cats were accounted for, fed, and cared for, and I really appreciated the check-in photos and updates throughout the weekend. She let me know when they had breakfast, when she was heading out for the night, and kept their routine consistent while I was away. Emily was kind, friendly, and wonderful with my animals. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter — she did an amazing job!”
“Liz was a phenomenal sitter. We loved her warmth and kindness. Our baby gravitated to her right away. Liz made us feel comfortable which allowed us to go away a feel extremely comfortable. She communicated throughout the entire time and ensured us that everything was going smoothly. We hope to work with Liz again!”
“Rob was respectful, communicative, and provided daily photo updates of the dogs, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable having him stay in our home, and it was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy. I would gladly trust him again in the future.”
“Conor has helped us out twice with our three dogs, and we could not be more pleased with her as a sitter. She took great care of them when we were gone on vacation and was very flexible and understanding when one of our bookings got cut short by my being injured at work. Will absolutely be hiring again!”
“Regina did an awesome job taking care of my pups! She has a naturally calming energy. I've never seen my dogs NOT bark at someone who enters our house, but with Regina, they didn't make a peep. They just jumped into her lap and made themselves at home!”
“Katherine was amazing with my girls!! She was able to do a meet and greet before our booking and ever since was very responsive and kept me update all the time. At the time of her stay she was very respectful of our home, and took amazing care of my dogs. Definitely will book again!!”
“Madeline was absolutely phenomenal; super communicative, sent me updates of how things were going, and friendly. Most importantly, my dog was well taken care of and had a great time. Madeline truly went above and beyond in every way possible.”

“Neri saved our New Year trip and sat for our 2 dogs when our first sitter had a medical emergency. The pups were very content with her and she was prompt and professional. We highly recommend her for and pet care and house sitting.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover living in Severn with my two spoiled cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you're away. I have hands-on experience caring for cats and love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'm happy to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. For cats, I understand the importance of respecting their routines, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My current work schedule has me in the office 7am - 3:30pm. I'm available Monday - Friday anytime after 4pm, and am available overnight. Saturdays, Sundays & holidays are flexible! I can easily keep your dog separate from my two cats if needed. There is a (unfenced) yard that backs into the woods. My house is tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks, perfect to walk your pup.
“Jasmine was fantastic! She was very responsive, took great care of my pups, and kept me updated throughout their stay. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care, and it was clear they had a wonderful time with her. I would absolutely book with her again!”

“We have used Morgan a couple of times now and I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is!! She loves our babies like they are her own, she is amazing at texting me and sending me pictures of them while we are gone, and it is just so nice to know that I’ve left our home and animals in the care of such a great person. Hands down recommend her everytime!”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“I cannot say enough good things about Maria. I have never had a bad experience with any of the walkers, sitters, etc. with Rover but Maria is in a class all her own. She watched my boy, Toby for a week and he was so loved and cared for. She sent pictures of their extended walks, and many of her just loving on him. She took him to her house and introduced him to her cats and it was amazing. I know he was so happy and therefore I never had to worry once about him. I highly recommend her as I will be using her again and again. She is a treasure!!!”
“Faith was wonderful with our cat, Bitty! She is 17 with severe kidney disease and requires a lot of extra care and medication. Faith is gentle and kind and gave Bitty all of her meds for us while we were away. She was super communicative and sent us adorable pictures! I recommend Faith to anyone whose critters need a little bit of extra TLC and will continue to trust her with our little fur babies ?”
“Alyssa was wonderful. She was great with our grouchy, blind 15 year old toy poodle and she followed all instructions including medication. Easy going and trustworthy. Sent us notes and photo updates. Highly recommend her.”
“Sometimes you’ll only know if the Sitter was great by how the dogs react when you walk through the door. I’m happy to say that after being gone on vacation, I came home to two very calm and happy dogs. In the past, I’ve had sitters where when I’ve come home the dogs were uneasy and full of anxiety. So it’s really important to know that the dogs are calm and we’re not stressed out while we were gone. It takes a dog person to be able to give this kind of love. I’m so thankful.”
“I'm so glad that Majdoline was able to watch my dog and house-sit over the weekend. She was very quick to respond to any messages and gave several updates throughout the day with a ton of pictures, I never had to worry about a thing. She spent lots of time both giving my dog attention and letting her run around and play in the yard. She left everything in the house very neat and clean as well. I would absolutely ask her to pet-sit for me again!”

We hired Rachel to help while we were away for several days. I was nervous to leave, as my dog is very old and needs a lot of help (namely with getting up onto his hind legs). Rachel was wonderful with him and took the time (through two pre-visits) to meet Parker and understand his needs. She kept me updated every day with pictures and updates. She was also kind enough to check on our house after a huge storm rolled through the area. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and compassionate sitter who will treat your pet(s) like their own.
Conor is Awesome and Super Sweet! She took such great care of my kitty. Conor sent pics daily that made me smile, because my cat was thriving - not just surviving while I wasn't there. I will definitely request her the next time I need to travel. Thanks again, Conor 🥰
Kerri is so great with our animals and this is the second time we’ve had her watch them, and hopefully not the last. She is trustworthy and respectful of our home and we really appreciate the extra care she gives to our anxious dog. Such a great sitter and we feel so grateful to have her.
We "reserved" Ava for a trip we're taking in May. We had an opportunity for a "trial run" with her for the overnight stay Feb. 7-8. We had a meet and greet with her the weekend before our overnight. We were anxious to meet and get to know Ava. Not only were we leaving our precious Finn with someone we really didn't know, we were also leaving her in the care of our home. You know how there are people you meet for the first time and you just click? This is how we felt about Ava. From the moment she walked into our home for the meet and greet, it felt like we'd known her for quite a while--comfortable, friendly and easy going. Finn felt the same as he went right to her and was comfortable the whole time Ava was here. We left her with Finn and the house for the night, knowing both were in good hands. We were right. Finn greeted her at the door and didn't seem "sad" to see us go. We got texts from Ava and a picture to let us know all was well. When we got home, it didn't look like anyone had been here. She cared for our home as she cared for Finn. We look forward to having Ava return in May--and probably before that as well. She's wonderful!
Samantha did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Sadie, while I was away. She gave me plenty of updates, and was very responsive. I could tell that Sadie was well cared for, and I knew that she was in great hands. I will definitely be asking Samantha to take care of Sadie again in the future.
Mari did absolutely amazing job with my Bella. We were gone 13 days and I got constant updates and pictures. Bella was treated as Mari,s own baby. Bella had no issues or accidents. Our house was left spotless as well. I can't thank Mari enough for a marvelous job she did. I felt like a relative was staying with my Bella. Mari cares for animals as her own children. I highly recommend her services to all dog parents. 🐕

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort George G Meade
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort George G Meade on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,975 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort George G Meade. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Fort George G Meade 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 Fort George G Meade 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 Fort George G Meade 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
