Marisa was able to come take care of my fur baby last minute. She did a great job taking care of her and making sure she had enough time to go potty.

About: I’ve always had and been around family pets. Pets are such a blessing to each and every family. I’d love to help those of you who may need a little extra help while you’re out making money for their treats and toys I have full time availability. Any hour of any day will work, I just need a heads up. As long as I can have hours for self care, I’m good to go! I will make sure any and all pets are cared for. I’ll be sure to ask questions like if your cat is permitted to be outdoors and if your dog door darts! As well as any special needs they may have or special diets.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I can remember. From family, friends, neighbors and even teachers, they have relied on me to feed, medicate, walk, groom, play and love their babies like my own. Every animal is different, but always loved! I’m currently and fortunately a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open! During the school year, I’m available after 9am and could work afternoon needs around pick up times. School is about to be out, so my schedule would be open! I’m not doing in home services due to my rescue having a bad past and still working on trusting other dogs. In clients homes, I’d make sure to follow all requests, communicate what happened during the visit and have the utmost respect for their home/pet(s).

About: 5 years ago I fell in love with my dog Shiba Foxy, she is literally my best friend. I have trained her to be such a good family dog. With maybe a little to much begging for food, but we are not perfect! Other than that I have raised 4 kids and a cat! So what can go wrong? After a very busy life of working in the finance industry and being a district manager in the outside field, I took a step back and now work in a director position working from home. I find myself needing a bit more. I also love things that don't talk back, like kids. hehe. In my home we have a fully fenced in yard. Foxy in leashed in harnessed on walks at all times. It's important to abide by the guidelines that the customer wants you to follow, if they want their animals in a crate with food or treats then prefect. If they don't then that is what you follow.

About: I've shared my life with animals for more than 30 years, and I truly can't imagine a home without them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, hermit crabs, and more. Every animal has its own unique personality, and getting to know what makes each one feel safe, happy, and loved is one of my greatest joys. My heart has a special place for senior pets. My beloved Shih Tzu, Paisley, was my soulmate and constant companion for 15 wonderful years. Caring for her through every stage of life taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying attention to the little things—whether that's noticing a change in behavior, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply knowing when a pet needs extra comfort and reassurance. Today, my home is filled with the joyful chaos of two rambunctious hounds, Hunter & Brownie, and one mischievous black kitty, Batman (Mr. Meeps), who keep me laughing every single day. They remind me that every pet is wonderfully unique, with their own personality, quirks, and favorite ways to be loved. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a sweet senior who prefers a slower pace, I'm committed to providing the individualized care, patience, and affection they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is about so much more than feeding and walking them. They are family. When they're in my care, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply having someone nearby who makes them feel safe, I'll meet them where they are. I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'll provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and affection, along with regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is simple: for you to return home to a happy pet—and for your pet to look forward to seeing me again. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This flexibility means I can accommodate your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply spending quality time together. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can maintain their normal routine, especially while their family is away. In your home, I'll follow your pet's schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. I'll also make sure your home is respected by bringing in mail or packages, watering plants if requested, and leaving everything just as I found it. I know every pet is unique. Some love to play, some prefer long walks, and others simply want a calm companion nearby. I'll take the time to understand your pet's personality and tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also send regular photo and message updates so you can enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate care every step of the way.

About: Hello I’m James! I’ve always loved dogs, and I know that they’re more than pets… they’re family. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your best friend. My dog Auggie, has taught me the value of patience, consistency, and making every dog feel safe and loved. Pet care is a big part of my life as I love walking my dog Auggie and playing with him as much as possible. Looking after a dog is something I enjoy and not just a job! I have a flexible schedule this summer which allows me to provide reliable walks, drop ins, and visits throughout the week. When caring for pets, I always try to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m in your home or taking your dog for a walk, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important communication is, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: My family has owned dogs my entire life and I got my first cat when I was 10. My friends and family know me as someone who is passionate about every type of animal and have trusted me with the care of their own loving companions for 9 years. I currently work part-time and have a very flexible schedule so I can easily provide services as short and sweet as walks and drop ins, to services like house sitting and boarding after communicating with you about what will work for both of our busy human schedules and what works best for your fur babies. While I don't have a fenced yard, I live in a very dog friendly community where potty breaks are short walks with my own dog Maggie who will be your dog's best friend and playmate. After that there are snuggles on the couch with my cat Coraline.

About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and have grown up around both cats a dogs. I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs. My dog, Phoebe, was diagnosed with lymphoma in October of 2025, and I helped care for her by giving her medication, bathing her, taking her on multiple walks each day, and making sure she was as comfortable as possible. She passed away in May, and I miss our daily walks and spending time with her. That experience taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying close attention to a pet's individual needs. I currently have three cats and regularly care for all of them. I'm comfortable bathing cats, trimming their nails, and recognizing when they need extra attention or a little space. When I was nine years old, my family adopted a kitten that had been abandoned by its mother, and I helped bottle feed and care for him, giving me experience with very young kittens as well. This summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, so I'm happy to work around your pet's routine, whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or multiple visits throughout the day. In the fall, I'll only have two in-person college classes, which will still leave me with plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care. I'll always make sure your pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve, and I'll do my best to accommodate your scheduling needs Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I will take the time to follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, and any special care they may need.

About: I’ve been around dogs/ animals my whole life. I grew up in North Pole, AK. Where my father and I ran siberian dog sled teams, therefore, big muscular dogs do not intimidate me nor does pulling. I’ve been the known ‘dog person’ of my family since I was a young child I was always there to pick up and play with the puppies when we had litters and now it’s become a passion of mine to take care of people’s pets as I know it can be stressful thinking about leaving our furry ones behind in a kennel with a bunch of strange dogs and people they’re not used to, so, I would love to relieve you of that stress and assure that your fur babies will be in the best hands and be well taken care of as I would expect nothing less for my own. I look forward to meeting all of your furry friends! Rover is my full time job therefore I have all of the time in the world for your furry babies. Sun rise or sun set. You can count on me! I have a dog hammock in my car with seatbelts to ensure the safe travels of your furry ones. As well as travel water bottles, food bowls, toys, and a medical kit incase we’re on a hike!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Germantown on Rover is $26.75 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 Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,200 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Germantown. 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 Germantown 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.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Germantown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Germantown. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
