âAlways a pleasure and Pacer loves Lauren. Sheâs his best friend. I highly recommend Lauren. We will continue working with Lauren as long as she will have us.â

About: I've had young dogs and old dogs for the past 14 years! I currently have two silly Shihtzus that I love to death. I have had a weiner dog and cockapoo before for years and loved them so much. I am an avid runner and walker (40+ miles weekly) so I would love to take your pets for a walk/run! I'm currently between jobs so I am quite available as long as I'm not running a road race! I tend to get up at 5am and sleep around 9pm. I have experience crating dogs if needed. I typically will rinse out any water bowls and scrub food bowls for cleanliness before serving their next meal. I try to brush my dogs fur to avoid tangled ends at least every other day, so I am comfortable helping with that.

About: I own four rescue dogs, three of which are small and one of which is medium. I am currently fostering a cat and an elderly dog. All of my animals will be in their crates if you book me for boarding. Iâm currently free 24/7 so Iâll have plenty of time to entertain your pets. Although come August I will be back in collage and Iâll only be able to mornings and nights. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space to play and currently five small/medium sized dogs that are very friendly for your pet to play with.
âJenna has been an incredible asset to us and a new friend to our dog Winston. She was dependable and there to take care of Winston. His care and the ability to keep him out of a kennel is very important to us. Jena did a great job!â

âKelsey was very easy to work with, responsive, friendly, and respectful of our pets and home. We got multiple picture updates with feedings. Our cats seemed to enjoy her company.â

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits and cows. I'm familiar and comfortable with most all animals. I've watched friends and families pets for years, had my own dog (who passed in the last year) and now I'm ready to expand my services to others. I currently work full time, but depending on your location I can easily let your pet out at lunch or make a quick visit. I can also host your pet in my home where I can tend to them before work, after work and on my lunch breaks. I live only 5 minutes from my work. I'm also willing to stay in your home to care for your pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I have a tethered line in my back yard for your dog to roam around and use the restroom. I can also take your dogs for walks multiple times a day.
About: What sets me apart is how intentional I am. I donât rush interactions or treat pets like a checklist. I pay attention, keep routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared forânot just watched. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. I plan my time carefully so pets always come first when Iâm scheduled to care for them. I follow your petâs normal routine as closely as possibleâfeeding schedules, walks, play, and rest. I keep the environment calm and clean, respect your home, and adjust my care based on your petâs comfort level and needs.

âKim is a wonderful sitter! She continues to take incredible care of my old lady cat, Mary. Each and every time I book Kim, I know my cat is in the best hands. She is an 1000/10!â

âAbby is fantastic. She took care of our senior cat suffering from cancer with the utmost care and respect while we were on a week long vacation, keeping me updated daily and giving him the care and love that she would have given her own two cats. She cares deeply and has great attention to detail. There was never a moment I had to worry about our pet with Abby in his care. He was a happy guy upon our return, not a thing amiss. You couldnât ask for a higher quality or trustworthy person in your home. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her the next time we go out of town - 10/10 recommend!â

âThank you for being able to stop by and look in on our dog while we were at the game. It gave us peace of mind knowing that our dog would have a little visit and companion while we were out for part of the day. I would certainly call on Cameron again and hopefully he will be available. It was nice to leave our dog in the comfort of his home and have a drop in visit to ensure his comfort.â


About: Dogs have always been family to me. Iâm a behavioral trainer and founder of A Happy Dogâs Life Rescue. I love dogs of all sizes and have plenty of hands-on experience with large dogs, small dogs, shy personalities, energetic pups, and seniors. My focus is on dog walks and drop-in visits, giving your pets love, attention, and consistency while youâre at work or away. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a leisurely sniff around the neighborhood, a potty break, meals, playtime, or just some company, Iâll tailor our time to their needs and your instructions. Through rescue work, Iâve learned how important patience and trust are. I take time to get to know each dogâs personality and comfort level, especially those who need a little extra time to warm up. One of my favorite things about pet sitting has always been seeing dogs remember meâeven after a long time between visits! I love building those lasting relationships and becoming a familiar face your dog is excited to see. You can expect photo updates, clear communication, and thoughtful care so you feel connected while youâre away.
âWith all of our go-to neighbor friends who typically drop by to feed and let our pets out traveling the same week as us, we were a little reluctant to leave the care of our pets to a new person. But Amy was excellent. She stopped by a few days before we left to get acquainted and we immediately knew our animals were in good hands. We received updates throughout each day when she arrived and finished each visit. We also got assorted photos of our animals at the end of each visit which was very nice. On top of the dog and cat feeding and walking the dog once per day, Amy also fed and watered our daughters' parakeet and leopard gecko! I would highly recommend Amy for any and all animal care. You can tell that she takes this job very seriously and loves doing it.â

âBrittney is amazing! She has watched our dogs a few times and she is so good with them. I can tell from her messages that she really pays attention to them and has gotten to know their personalities. She puts effort in to help them feel comfortable and not stressed while we are away, and they are excited to see her when she comes over. It helps me feel more at ease leaving them when we go away because I know she is taking good care of them.â

âWe planned a trip to Grand Tetons but were in a bind with what to do about our dogs. Karen came to the rescue and let our dogs out during the days while we were in the park. It gave us peace of mind and they werenât cooped up all day. Definitely recommend Karen!â

Lauren is absolutely amazing! She does drop-in visits for my two dogs and I could not recommend her moreâ5 stars all the way. She is extremely thoughtful, loving, flexible, and great with communication. I absolutely love the wonderful pictures and detailed updates she provides after each visit. My dogs are so much more relaxed staying at home with her compared to a boarding facility. If you want peace of mind and happy pets, hire Lauren!

Weâre so lucky we found Laila on Rover. We had a last minute weekend trip and she took so much of the stress off knowing our boy was going to be well taken care of. She went above and beyond with his walks and cuddles and even sent us quite a bit of pictures while we were gone. We could tell our pup had a good, long weekend with his new friend. We were even greeted by a sweet note when we got home, proving she was the best sitter. Boady is already looking forward to his next adventure with her!

Claire was amazing with our two cats while we were away! One of our cats needed daily ear medication, and she handled it without any issues. She also watered our plants, sent lots of photos and updates, and really gave us peace of mind while we were gone. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats. We'd definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Germantown is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $32 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 petâs 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 2,599 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Germantown. 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 petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 Germantown. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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 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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
