About: I've taken care of pets my entire life, I currently have 3 senior cats and 1 senior dog. I have 2 years of experience working in pet care facilities so I'm more than capable of handling all types of dogs and cats, including reactive/possessive dogs. I've been trained in cleaning, playing, monitoring play groups, feeding, and giving medication to all different sizes, breeds, and reactivity of dogs. I believe every pet deserve love and patience and I enjoy providing them with that. I also worked specifically with reactive/aggressive dogs for a year so feel free to reach out if you're dog needs a little more effort than most. :) I don't currently have a set schedule so feel free to reach out and we can figure out what works best for myself and your pets. I can walk, play with, feed, let out to potty, clean up after, and give meds to your wonderful pets depending on your needs. :)

About: Hi guys! My name is Emily, I’m a 27 year old who loves animals. I really like to read, go to concerts with my friends, and spend time with my family. I’ve been house sitting and pup sitting for over 10 years now. My availability is very open at the moment considering I’m doing school virtually. Please feel free to contact me anytime for all of your dog, cat, fish, bird, turtle, hamster, cow, horse, etc needs! I also have a huge vegetable/flower garden so have plenty of experience with that if necessary. Look forward to hearing from you! I currently am working part time and doing school virtually so I have a very flexible schedule that would allow me plenty of time to help care for your babies! I’ve had 10 plus years experience with pet sitting so have had to handle many different situations that have made me a better sitter. I’m prepared for anything and love these pets as my own!

About: I've had dogs since I was a kid an have pet sit for people since I was about 13 years old. In my own life I have had and trained 3 puppies of my own (Tootsie is still currently in the training works). The most dogs I've watched in one household was four, one golden retriever rescue, one Labrador rescue, and two beagle mix rescues. I've worked with several different breeds of dogs over the years including pit bull mixes, pugs, labs, retrievers, beagles, great danes, etc. I currently am taking some time off from working as a Senior Accountant so have availability all day everyday for the most part, when im not spending time with my pets and hubby that is. 🥰 When I do drop in visits I follow what is requested for dogs regarding feeding time/walking habits. I normally talk to them because well idk, I talk to my pets because thats what you do as a pet person. 😂

Courtney did a great job taking care of my dog, Roxi. She was dependable, easy to communicate with, and I could tell Roxy was well cared for while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely use Courtney again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who grew up with 3 dogs, and regularly pet sit for friends and family before deciding to make it official. Friends often call me an animal whisperer because even shy or nervous pets tend to warm up to me quickly. I work remotely, and am very active, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention (and activity)! I work remotely and have very flexible hours, so your pet will have plenty of time, walking, snuggling, and being active. I also attend run clubs where pets are allowed, so if your fur baby is social, I’ll happily take them! I have a backyard, and live in a community with plenty areas to walk and sniff. Pets are welcome to be on furniture and in bed! I’m an excellent communicator, and will work collaboratively with you to determine the best care plan for your pet.

About: I provide calm, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet’s personality and routine. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, and pets that need extra patience or reassurance. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, reinforcing training routines, and making sure pets get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. What sets me apart is my focus on consistency and communication. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, pay close attention to details, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or structured routines, I adapt my care to match their needs and help reduce stress for both pets and owners. I am currently a junior at covenant college studying biology. I plan on applying to med school and becoming a doctor in a field where I can be an asset in medicine. I am currently a Vet Tech at Great Scottie Veterinary Clinic. I am a lover of animals and will do all that I can to provide the joy and satisfaction your pet needs! I take safety and trust seriously when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, and routines so pets feel comfortable and secure. I make sure pets are supervised, kept in safe areas, and never put in situations that could be unsafe. In my home, I keep a clean and calm environment where pets have fresh water, regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. I always use leashes on walks and make sure dogs are secure when outside. In a client’s home, I respect their space and try to keep the pet’s routine the same as usual. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pet is safe and happy. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving owners peace of mind.

About: As a pre-vet student with hands-on experience from a dog hotel and lifetime of pet care, I offer more than just sitting. I'm skilled in senior care and puppy training basics, and my experience breeding crested geckos and caring for birds and cats gives me a deep understanding of diverse animal needs. I'm dedicated to providing informed, attentive care. Being a UMD student allows me to provide your dog with consistent, attentive walks throughout the day. I'm passionate about giving them the exercise and companionship they deserve, right here on campus. Whether in my home or yours, pet safety and comfort are my top priorities. I maintain a clean and secure environment, free from hazards. I strictly adhere to all feeding and medication instructions, and I'm vigilant about monitoring pets for any signs of distress. When walking, I use a secure leash and harness, remain aware of surroundings, and avoid busy roads. I prioritize building trust with both pets and owners through clear communication, reliability, and genuine affection. I understand the importance of routine, and I strive to minimize stress by maintaining consistency. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a loving and safe environment

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. My family has also fostered puppies for the past 5–6 years, which has given me experience with young dogs, routines, patience, and providing a safe, loving environment. Friends and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets like they’re my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets before starting my full-time role in July. Once I begin, I’ll only be in office two days a week, so I’ll still have lots of availability. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate a variety of schedules and care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fenced yard and one friendly small dog who loves making new friends. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, active, and comfortable. I enjoy long walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and care while you’re away.

About: With 15 years of dedicated pet care under my belt, I've honed a deep understanding of both canine and feline needs. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts—and from curious kittens to laid-back lap cats—I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. As a dog and cat owner myself, I’ve also supported a pup with aggression issues through his stressful times, giving me valuable experience in patience, awareness, and calm handling. My background includes administering medications, maintaining clean and comfortable litter boxes, and providing specialized care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and understood. Trust me to bring expertise and genuine affection to every walk, cuddle, and visit with your furry family members. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily routine, with availability after my 8-4 job Monday through Friday, and all day on weekends. I'm dedicated to providing consistent, reliable care that complements your schedule and ensures your pets are happy and well-looked after. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise, ensuring consistency with their regular routine. I also provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime, maintaining open communication with you to keep you updated on your pet's well-being.

About: My family and I had two amazing dogs growing up who recently passed away, and I’ve really been missing that kind of dog love. I just graduated college and would love to spend more time around pets while gaining more experience caring for them. I recently graduated college, where I was a student-athlete majoring in criminology and sociology. I’m looking to gain more hands-on experience in animal care while I'm in the application process— and have a pretty flexible schedule! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar surroundings. and following their routines, including feeding times, walks, and play sessions. I make sure to provide regular updates to the owners, giving them peace of mind while they're away.

We had a wonderful experience with Jake, who stopped by twice to care for our three cats and did an amazing job! Communication was excellent throughout, and he was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cared about our cats’ well-being. We would absolutely trust Jake again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dependable and trustworthy pet care.

Jeff was perfect for us! He came by to meet our cat and us beforehand, and then fed her every day we were gone. He posted a picture every day of a fat and happy cat! He also very kindly collected our mail, and handled two food deliveries we thought were cancelled. If you are in the Shady Side area, Jeffrey should be your choice of pet sitters.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Galesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Galesville on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 14,167 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Galesville. 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 Galesville 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 Galesville. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
