“Rene was lovely. She was kind, timely, responsive, and I very much trusted her with my cat. My cat was a brat, and she was very sweet about the situation. I would absolutely book her again and recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“Dee Dee has been taking care of my cats for two weeks, so I can spend time with my family in my hometown. Please take care of them for the rest of the two weeks 🙏🏻 Thank you so much ❤️”
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.
“I had a wonderful experience with Caden! He was incredibly kind, attentive, and followed all of my instructions carefully. I really appreciated the thoughtful questions he asked, which showed me that he genuinely wanted to understand Dandelion’s routine and make sure she was comfortable and well cared for. Communication was great throughout her stay, and he sent the most amazing pictures that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt confident that Dandelion was in caring and capable hands. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and caring sitter!”
About: Since I was born, my parents and my family have owned pets. From my birth my siblings have owned their own birds, we owned a Dove for multiple years and owned a Black Labrador from birth. I am a college freshman, who will be starting the school year soon and will not be going to school far. I'll be able to only work certain days in the week due to school. Scheduling can be discussed during the booking process. I will review the needs of the client pertaining to their individual needs and their pets individual needs before and during my visit with them.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since he was a puppy & he’s now 7. I begged my parents for him for 18 years and he’s my soul dog. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and I even have experience with senior dogs. I love pets because they are a reminder of unconditional love. I work full time but am typically available in the evenings after 4pm M-F. I have occasional work events during the week sometimes but I am always available on weekends. I prefer doing a meet and greet before accepting to sit to make sure all parties feel comfortable, especially the furry party. I’m comfortable administering medicine and crating your dog if that’s required. Ultimately my goal is to treat your dog as if I’d treat my own.
“Mikayla was amazing with my cat! She sent me plenty of photos every day, and gave me really good reports on my cats daily routines. She always responded really quickly, and was so friendly!”
“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”

“Riley did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs and two cats. The pets were well fed and taken care very well. I had zero issues. Would recommend in the future if ever needed.”
“We are so grateful for Sondra’s care of our pup! She came over for a drop in visit on a day that we were going to be gone for a long day trip and took care of everything as discussed. I really appreciated the photos and updates she sent after the visit! She communicated everything very clearly before and after the visit and made the whole process so easy. Thank you Sondra! Willow can’t wait to see you again soon :)”
“Samantha was an excellent choice for us as a dog walker. She was kind, punctual and reliable. We felt very comfortable leaving Maisey under her care. I highly recommend Samantha.”
About: I’ve been caring for other people’s dogs and cats for years, with my experience caring for pets going all the way back to my teens. For the past two years, I’ve especially loved walking and doing drop-in visits for dogs in my neighborhood, and I’ve also cared for cats through house sitting and drop-in visits over the years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each fur baby, learning their personality and routine, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets. After having such wonderful experiences using Rover for my own fur babies, I decided it was time to join the sitter side and share that same kind of care with other families! 🐾 I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes welcoming another fur baby into my home an easy fit! I personally provide all care, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, playtime, and love throughout the day rather than spending long stretches alone. I’m happy to follow their usual feeding, potty, walking, and bedtime routine as closely as possible. Your fur baby will be welcomed into my dog-loving home with a fully fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who love having company! I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of attention, outdoor time, and companionship throughout the day. I walk my dogs regularly and would love to include your fur baby in our walks when appropriate. I’ll personally provide their care and follow their normal feeding, potty, sleeping, and care routines as closely as possible so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while their humans are away.
“Alejandra is awesome! She’s very patient with our puppy and goes out of her way to be there to help us with last minute requests or if there’s any messes to pick up. She even sends pictures and a summary of the visit. We definitely recommend and will continue to ask her to be our Scarlett’s sitter any time!”
“Arissa is the best! We loved the adorable update photos & she was great with our cat who can be very difficult. He was so relaxed and happy when we returned, we will definitely be hiring her again!”

Rene was incredible with being available last minute to drop by and look after my boxer who has a myriad of heath issues. Very communicative and friendly, she even took time to give our cat some love! Highly recommend Rene if you want someone professional, polite and punctual!
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.
Candice is absolutely amazing! She is so communicative and thorough, and I’m truly able to disconnect and enjoy my vacation knowing that my babies are in such caring hands. She pays close attention to their individual behaviors and routines and takes detailed notes so she can pick up on how they’re feeling and if anything seems different. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s not just stopping by to feed them, but is genuinely getting to know them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. We feel so lucky to have found someone we truly trust with our kitties. I couldn’t recommend Candice more, she is exactly the kind of sitter you hope to find!
I had a wonderful experience with Caden! He was incredibly kind, attentive, and followed all of my instructions carefully. I really appreciated the thoughtful questions he asked, which showed me that he genuinely wanted to understand Dandelion’s routine and make sure she was comfortable and well cared for.

I felt confident that Dandelion was in caring and capable hands. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, dependable, and caring sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Germantown is $22 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 16,684 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 .
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.
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 .
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.
