“Malika was amazing. We had a couple hiccups while we were away with security system batteries and some mail and Malika was gracious enough to be a helping hand beyond the house-sitting/petsitting duties. She also had cleaned to make sure we came home to a comfortable home after our flight. Much appreciated! And the animals were happy too!”
“Amara did a great job taking care of our pups! This sit was on 4th of July and our dogs get a little anxious when they hear fireworks. Amara kept them close and calmed them down. She checked in before she left to see if we needed her to do anything else, which was much appreciated.”
“Olivia was wonderful with our pups while we were out of town. She was prompt with responding to any questions I had leading up the day of our departure, and was communicative while we were gone. She also sent me pictures of our dogs which was nice to see. She meshed really well with our dogs during a meet and greet so I had no doubt they’d warm up to her. She was also very generous in tidying up things like dishes, folding up any blankets used on the couch, and watered the plants for me. I am looking forward to booking her again!”
“Maia and her fiancé watched my 2 dogs for 5 days. They stayed at my home and I couldn’t have been more thrilled. The boys were both calm and chilll when we got home…as if they had a great time and forgot we were even gone. The house was also spotless. Both incredibly kind and caring people. I will most definitely use them again. Thank you Maia and Jeehoon!”
“Sammy was great! She came by to meet Leo prior to our vacation and asked all sorts of questions which really showed me she was paying attention to all of the details and that doing a good job was important to her. Sammy sent me a few messages while we were gone with updates about Leo and let me know when she arrived and left. I hope to use her services again this summer!”
“Kristan did great watching our dog at our house for the weekend! Our dog is a little particular and requires lots of walks for her energy and Kristan was great meeting her needs. She gave her all the attention she needs and gave us updates. She also left our house all neat and clean! Definitely recommend her!”
“Abby stayed in our home and cared for our two Doodles… she was amazing. Communication and response time was great. Sent pics of the pups, that was fun. Followed all our instructions, very responsible. Looking forward to her sitting for us again.”

“Olivia did a great job with both dogs and house was clean when I got home and dogs were very well taken care of. She sent me messages right when she got to the house and kept me well informed of how they were doing. I would absolutely hire Olivia again.”
About: I grew up with an abundance of dogs at home, typically three or four at least at a time and my parents had a few foster animals as well. Don’t have any pets myself, so this is a way I can still interact with the animals that I love in my free time! What sets me apart would truly be how intentional I am with your animals and just how genuine I am as a person :) I work full time (9-5) in Fishers, but have some flexibility where I can work remote and take meetings virtually, so plenty of time to be home and care for all your animals! :) I pretty much always prefer to have the animals around me at all times to ensure they are safe and as comfortable as can be. Happy to cleanup any accidents of course, and do my very best to keep them content!
“Megan did an amazing job! Took notes and was flexible to every need and preference, pictures and updates regularly, and my minions clearly had a lot of fun! Highly recommend and will be requesting again for my future dog sitting! Thanks Megan!!!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with Jenna for a week. She took such great care of him and followed instructions. Banzo got extra long walks and lots of love! Appreciated the daily updates. Thank you, thank you!!”
“We had Chris house sit and watch our dogs for the first time, and we could not have been happier with the experience! From our initial meet and greet through the very last day, Chris was incredibly professional, kind, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Most importantly, it was clear how loving and caring he was with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. He was a fantastic communicator and sent us photos and a daily update, so we always knew how the pups were doing. We also ended up needing some last-minute flexibility toward the end of our trip, and Chris was so accommodating and easygoing about it, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy, well cared for dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. We’re so pleased to have found Chris and will absolutely be using him as our go to dog sitter from now on. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dependable, communicative, professional, and genuinely caring with their pets!”
“Michaela did an amazing dog with our dog and cat. Our cat was just getting over a sickness and our dog was adopted one week before she came to sit for us. She eased this anxious pet parents mind and sent me updates daily on our sweet boys. We will definitely be booking again in the future ☺️”

I currently have two cats of my own. Depending on the time of sit, I can walk them. There will be times they may be alone for a period of time- such as the afternoon.

“Jasmyne was amazing! Our dog can be pretty anxious but did great with Jasmyne — and she gave us lots of updates and photos throughout the time we were gone; which helped put us at ease too. The house was in tip-top shape when we returned, and our dog was happy and content. We will definitely be calling on Jasmyne again!”

About: I've been a pet owner of cats and dogs all of my life. Friends, neighbors and family have relied on me to care for their pets while they have been away and it brings me such joy, not only to help people but to ensure animals are given the needed attention and care while their owners are away. My phone is always nearby and I will provide feedback, answer questions and provide photos and videos of your pets to give you peace of mind that they are happy and content until you return from your time away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
Natalie was absolutely fantastic with Lola and Callie. We have pretty detailed care routines, especially with Lola’s supplements and Callie’s feeding, and Natalie handled everything incredibly well. We actually had a miscommunication on our end before leaving and didn’t have everything portioned and prepared the way we intended, and she didn’t miss a beat, she figured out Lola’s supplement routine, used the food scale for Callie’s meals, and made sure everything was done correctly. She was also incredibly attentive throughout the stay. She noticed small things like a change in the indicator light on our Litter-Robot and checked in rather than just ignoring it, and she was very conscientious about our home, locking doors and being careful with the garage when coming and going since we have a cat who likes to sneak out. Communication was great, and we came home to happy pets and everything exactly as it should be. We felt completely comfortable having Natalie care for our pets and home and would absolutely trust her to stay with them again. Highly recommend!
Kristan did an amazing job house sitting for 6 days! She kept me updated throughout my time away, asked questions when needed, and shared plenty of pictures, which gave me great peace of mind. Lord Bentley was clearly very well taken care of and happy when I returned. I also came home to everything exactly as I left it. I would definitely book Kristan again and highly recommend her!
Our pups really enjoyed having Erin here in their own environment!! She was very communicative & took great care of dogs. She was even woken up by kisses from one of the dogs which tells me they were super comfortable around her which really made my heart happy! I would recommend Erin & wouldn’t hesitate having her watch the dogs again.
Amara did a great job taking care of our pups! This sit was on 4th of July and our dogs get a little anxious when they hear fireworks. Amara kept them close and calmed them down. She checked in before she left to see if we needed her to do anything else, which was much appreciated.
Nick did a fantastic job watching my small zoo. Our cat Walter usually avoids strangers, but warmed right up to him. The dogs were happy to keep to their routine of walking and crowding up to him at night. He even fed the squirrels that visit our house. He left the house immaculate and sent regular updates.
We had such a great experience with Jessica who both pet and house sat for us! From the start, she was easygoing, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything ran smoothly while we were away. Our pets (one anxious dog and one bossy cat) were happy, well cared for, and honestly seemed a little disappointed when we came home - which says a lot! The house was just as we left it (if not cleaner), and we really appreciated the daily updates and photos along the way. It made being away so much less stressful. We'd absolutely trust Jessica again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, kind care.
Corey was phenomenal! Both my dogs absolutely love him and Archie, who is normally very shy, was absolutely smitten with him. Corey’s communication is absolutely phenomenal and I feel like he could absolutely be a member of our family! I look forward to choosing him to be our dog sitter in the future and I’m thankful we found him :)

The average cost of House Sitting in Germantown is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $111 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Germantown 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 Germantown 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Germantown 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
