“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!”
“Madeline did such a wonderful job taking care of our pups in our home for the weekend! She was super responsible and responsive and it was clear our babies had a wonderful time with her. We will definitely reach out to Madeline again for future dogsitting!”
“Sydney did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Murphy! It was clear he was very comfortable with her. She also gave updates throughout the vacation. Would definitely recommend Sydney!”
About: I have always had at least one pet throughout my life, and my love for them grows more and more each and every day. I haven’t fully been exposed to everything in the pet world, but I can ensure that I will take great care of your pet(s)! I work part-time and in school. My day to day schedule can vary depending on when I’m scheduled to work, but I will keep my availability as accurate as possible each week. I try to keep my own dog company as much as I can, as well as attend to him whenever he's feeling hungry or lonely. I pay attention to pets' needs and work as best as I can to understand them. I am super gentle with pets as they are so precious to me.
“Jodie was AWESOME! She was very professional and a great communicator throughout the process. She also was our housesitter and left the house in great shape, very respectful! 5-Stars all the way. We will rebook Jodie for sure!”
“Riley did a fantastic job while we were away for 7 days. He did not leave Milo alone other than to run an errand or get something to eat. It was our first time leaving Milo and I was very hesitant but Riley was very responsive to all my inquiries and sent me pictures and texts about he was as doing. I would definitely recommend him and will refer him to all my friends. Thank you so much Riley for a job well done.”
“So grateful to Donald for taking such good care of our pup! This was our first time every having a sitter for him, and it was for a full week - we could not have asked for a better experience for our pup (and for us and for our house, too!). Donald was not only great with our anxious clingy pup, but he also kept us updated regularly and put us at ease that all was going smoothly. He took great care of the house too, with attention to all kinds of little details I wouldn't even have thought of. He was also super flexible when we had to make a last-minute change to our timing - he could not have been nicer about it. And of course, the best and most important part is that our dog loved him and will look forward to when we can have him come again!”
“My dogs recently had the pleasure of having Tyra look after them. She is very attentive and so reassuring. Not to mention very patient because these two can be a handful sometimes, haha. This was my first time having a sitter and any worries or doubts I had were quickly whisked away by all the videos and pictures that she sent me. My dogs looked very comfortable and at peace with Tyra taking care of them. To sum it all up: Tyra is a bona fide professional and super kind person. You’d be lucky to have her watch over your four-legged family, and I certainly hope I have the privilege of her services during my next trip.”
“Charlize did a great job taking care of Sadie. She was very responsive and tended to all of Sadie’s needs. I will definitely be asking Charlize to take care of her again in the future!”
“Anna is an excellent house and dog sitter. She was responsive, connected with Dokie (I loved the pix she made of him lying on her back!), and communicated well throughout her stay. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats with serious medical needs who like to chill out in the AC or Dobermans who can’t stop running, either way all pets are fun! My schedule varies, but I keep my Rover calendar updated and can often accommodate weekdays, evenings, and weekends. At least two days’ notice is preferred, although I may be able to accept last-minute requests depending on my schedule. Feel free to message me about the specific timing and care your pet needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep pets securely leashed outdoors, monitor behavior and appetite, and provide regular updates and photos. I have a cat in my home, so I manage introductions carefully and can keep pets in separate areas when appropriate. For boarding and daycare, dogs must be crate-trained. I’m also happy to discuss routines, medical needs, behavioral concerns, and household instructions before the booking.
“Corinne was great with my three cats. Two of them are very affectionate and need a lot of love. The third is really shy. Cornnie spent a lot of time with the needy ones and had calm energy for the shy one. My shy cat actually ended up headbutting her by the end of the week and he has never done that with a sitter before! We will be booking with Cornnie again.”

“This was my first time trying the Rover service and Jesse did a wonderful job. This was a long sit, with me traveling for 4 weeks, and I was nervous about leaving my kitty alone for so long. Jesse was very accommodating, attentive, and communicative with updates to let me know how things were going. Kitty seemed to really take to her, being as friendly and cuddly with her as she is with me, which I haven't seen her do with anyone else yet. Jesse also kept my plants alive and was very clean. I'd recommend Jesse and plan on requesting her services again in the future.”
“Wow! Wow! Wow! There is nothing better than piece of mind and Xianting (Cynthia) gave me that in wonders. I have a timid dog and TNR cat that was previously feral. When she sent videos of my TNR cat rubbing against her leg, I nearly teared up. She worked hard to make my dog and cat feel comfortable and she succeeded. Kept me updated, very respectful of my house, and keen observations about what was going on. I am a believer and will use her any and every time. Highly recommend 100%!!!!!”
“Great sitter! Angelina and her partner watched our three pups and house sat for us over ten days. We received daily updates and she was very communicative about how the dogs were. She offered to water plants, take out trash, and even cleaned before we returned. Will hire again!”
“Megan took such great care of our dog. She provided updates and sent pictures while we were away. Our dog loved her too! Megan responded quickly & helped us out when we needed last minute help. Thank you, Megan!”

We were so lucky to find Kerri! She was super communicative and sent the best pictures of our babies. I'm sure they loved having her keep them company in our absence. She was very respectful of our home and even made her bed and took out the trash before heading out. We will definitely book with her again!

Regina is such a wonderful sitter. She watched my very anxious dog for 2 weeks and I came back to a happy dog. She stayed in my home and everything was clean. She sent me photos of Sadie (my dog) daily and gave updates on her behavior as well. She even came by after just to visit and see how she was doing. I highly recommend Regina. Bonus she has military base access!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Fort Meade is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $70 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. 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 November 2026, there are 9,925 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort 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 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 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 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Meade. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
