“Rene is absolutely fantastic. She was always prompt, diligent and so caring for our cat. This was our first time leaving Milo. Rene immediately put us at ease. She communicated constantly. She came prior to the scheduled visits to meet Milo, who loved Rene instantly. During the visits, Rene sent us pictures of Milo. She did “all the things” (litterbox, food, water etc), probably more carefully than we do at home haha. Rene even brushed Milo, which was above and beyond. We are so happy Rene took care of our pet. We can’t say enough good things about Rene.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since 2000 and cats since I was 8. From kitten, puppies to senior dogs and cats, I love them all. I will care for your pet like they were my own. I currently work from home everyday. I can walk dogs before work, pet sit all day, or watch them in the evening or overnight. I am available for long stays as well. I have no pets at this time so your pet can be comfortable and roam around freely. I can feed, play with and give lots of attention.
“So grateful to have her. Very professional and very knowledgeable. Our shepherd has never responded so well to a stranger. She’s our new go to for pet care. Thank you!!!”

About: I have cared for my own as well as neighbors dogs in the past from puppy to adulthood. I have 2 dogs of my own that I love just as much as my daughter and truly see pets as part of the family. I have experience in crate training or potty training. I am ready to give your pets what they need. I am available for drop ins and dog walking as I work from home and can easily pop in to help. I usually like to go out for walks or bike riding so taking care of your pets in between would fit well into my schedule. I am super comfortable with dogs and cats. If you have a special bed or toy or blanket that your pet prefers, that is absolutely fine to bring.
About: Hi! I’m Bailey. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for a family dog (Leia) for over 10 years. This gave me plenty of experience with consistent walks and meals. It also included spending quality time with Leia (who, chose me as her favorite person). Since then, I’ve continued to help friends and family with their pets during vacations and filling in timely needs. I treat every pet like part of the family, making sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise while in my care. I am reliable and committed to ensuring safety and comfort. I am currently unemployed and have a lot of open time to care for pets. I am looking forward to connecting with other pups and making them feel happy and safe. I am more than happy to follow any and all instructions within reason regarding medication, feeding times, walk times/durations, and whatever else keeps your pup on a good schedule.
“We hired Isabella to watch our two Boston Terriers for the weekend. She went above and beyond what was required to care for our older dogs. I would definitely hire her again.”
“When we arrived after our five day trip, we encountered our two furbabies freshly woken from a nap, without a care in the world, as if they also had taken a vacation! Wordda made sure our boys were looked after and satisfied. Thank you for everything! <3”
“Mary took great care of my cat, Sammie. I received short notice about a work trip, and Mary's care for Sammie gave me great peace of mind during a hectic time. She was kind, reliable, and I really appreciated the daily updates she provided. I definitely recommend booking with her if you're looking for someone to care for your pets!”
“Jay is wonderful with my dogs. They are always so happy when he shows up and my little one eats better for him than she does me. Lol. It's so wonderful to come home to healthy happy dogs who didn't have to be kenneled because we went away. Jay is a Godsend in our busy lives and I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting great care for their babies.”
About: Your pup will be in good hands, I will take my time to take very good care of your dog, to take him/her out on walks and runs, play with them till they are ready to take their doggy nap. I will give them all the love and attention they need while they are here at my home. Your pup will have plenty of time to play with my little Yorkie Minnie, shes very playful but also gentle with puppies and she would love to show them around the house and be their companion on daily walks and runs. You will not have to worry about your pup having a good time and going back home to you safe and sound. Thank You so much for trusting me with your cute little puppy! I’m a stay at home mom, so I can be with your pet all day everyday. Starting from 6am till 8pm, I’m available for your pets needs ! I care for your pup with my full attention and joy. I enjoy getting to know them through play and including them in my day to day life.
About: Hi there! I have a special advantage to my peers, being from the age 10 my mom took in fosters from the humane society that we equally took care of. At times we had up to 3 dogs we were caring for, on top of other animals in our household. We groomed them, fed them, took them to care visits, took them on walks, cleaned up after them, all up until they were adopted. We fostered for many years until my early adulthood. I still help my mom take care of her animals from time to time. I’m very active so taking your babies out for frequent walks, potty breaks or to doggy parks will be great for both of us! I will follow your itinerary however you’d like. I currently have other obligations on the weekends, so I will be taking care of your furry friends Monday-Thursdays. If you would like to book me, give me 3 days notice in advance. However my client feels most comfortable is how I like to best serve them. I want to provide the best care possible to the fur babies, make sure they are in the best care possible, while also following the rules of the household. If there are instructions, I go over them with my client and ask questions. I always make sure I understand so there are no confusions.
About: I’ve cared for 3 dogs (18 years experience) that are /were my very own as well as dog sit for friends and family. I can accommodate large pups and care for them. I absolutely love all dogs of different sizes and will always be attentive with them with all the care I can provide while you are away. 😊 I am available all day throughout the week as I work from home Monday through Friday and am free on the weekends. I take regular morning, afternoon, evening walks. I have a large fenced yard and ample space inside for your pups to play. I have two friendly pups named Luka and Theo that love to entertain but know when to relax and back off when other pups are uncomfortable.
“A'Gia and Mark were amazing. Not only are they very personable people they also somehow convinced our two painfully shy cats come out and be friendly. They sent the cutest photos and kept us informed about every detail of each visit. They really put the time in and it showed, our cats weren't stressed at all when we got home. Having A'Gia and Mark taking care of our cats made me feel so much better about being gone, I knew our boys were in good hands. I would absolutely work with them again in the future or recommend them to a friend.”
“Julia has been wonderful! Really great with my young pup who can be difficult to handle at times, but he loves her! Julia is super responsive, always on time, and more than willing to assist us even if an issue arises last second. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I'm a huge dog lover, and grew up around many dogs. I have a pet beagle, Archie, who is the center of many funny stories. I'm studying biology at college, and I plan to research animal behavior in the future. This love for animals stemmed from my love for dogs! If you're looking for a sitter who is responsible, flexible, and will provide good care and exercise for your dog, please reach out! :) I'm a college student home for the holidays, so my schedule is extremely open and extremely flexible! I'm available both on weekdays and on weekends! I have an entire forest in my backyard, which is perfect for your dog to run around and explore. I also live nearby many hiking trails and public parks. Inside, your dog is free to sleep on the couch and play! I have a friendly beagle to keep your dog company, and I am home for most of the day to spend time with your dog.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, senior dogs, and anything in between when helping my friend with their pet sitting business after we graduated from high school. My family dog had epilepsy so I have experience giving daily meds, emergency meds, and assisting during those moments. Does your dog love to run? We can go on leashed runs or dog park runs, let me know your (and their) preference! I’m available for evening walks and weekend walks! I can do morning walks but they would be really really early like 4:30am. If that’s something you’re looking for, I’d be glad to help! I have two cats so my place is baby proofed from floor to ceiling. My family dog was a counter hopper so leaving food on the counter/table/practically anywhere was a no-go. I have a keen eye for what they may get into and what I should put away before leaving. We always distract when noticing potential bad behavior as that is one of the best ways to deter focus rather than yelling. Let me know what works best for your pet and I can definitely incorporate that!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
We had Riley drop in and check on Callie while we were gone for 3 full weeks! She was easy to get along with and attentive during our meet and greet, and Callie took a liking to her right away. While we were gone, we received photos on the Rover cards and little updates as to how Callie was doing, which made us feel at ease while being gone for so long. Riley was also easy to contact if we needed anything. We came back to a happy cat and our home exactly how we left it. We could not recommend Riley enough for pet care!
Cornell did such a wonderful job with my dog Biggie, he’s a year and a half old and has lots of energy! He went on walks and got to play with other dogs! I will definitely hire Cornell again and highly recommend him! He even came for a meet and greet before our scheduled visits, put my nerves at ease! Wonderful experience!!
Lynette is unquestionably the absolute BEST person I have ever had to watch my fur babies. She is attentive, kind, responsive, communicative, loving, patient, caring, and compassionate, and all nine of my fur babies (Dusty, Mr. Bubbles, Taz, Mervin, Franklin, Sweets, Mocha, and baby Fred) could not get enough of her! I have no doubt that the next time she watches them, even Zazzles will be clambering for attention! Honestly, any review I give will not fully explain just how excellent she is - there really is no one better.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Germantown is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 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 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 16,577 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 pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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 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 Germantown. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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.
