“Rebecca did a great job taking care of my baby. She was on time for the visit and treated him like her own. She sent me lots of pictures of my sweet boy. Would recommend and will use again”
“As always, Ariel did a stellar job taken care of our four cats, they have all warmed up to her, even the shy ones and I think this is because she is so patient and kind with them”
“Ashley was so amazing! She came every day and was super reliable . She stayed and petted and comforted our kitty and took great care of her! Our cat is 21 and honestly I think she may have gained a much needed pound while we were away. She was well cared for! Look forward to having her take care of our pups in the future as well! Definitely recommend her for taking care of fur babies of all kinds :)”
“Merrick is fantastic and I will absolutely have him watch my dogs in the future. My dogs are usually anxious when I travel, but did great in Merrick's care. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone.”
“Leigh Anne is always so great with our puppy! She plays with her and gives her all the puppy attention she needs. We really appreciate her checking on our baby!”
“Bailey is awesome! She came on very short notice to take care of Pancho. I really appreciate her great care for my babe. She does a great job.”
“Kay did an amazing job looking after my two cats! Leaving your fur babies can be hard but i felt at ease my whole trip knowing my cats were in good hands. Kay gave detailed updates for each visit and provided plenty of photos of my cats as well. I’ll be booking Kay the next time I go out of town. 🩷”
“Desiree is wonderful as always in taking care of our cat, Taro, while we're away. She is attentive, reliable, and clearly cares about Taro. We always feel at ease knowing Taro is in such good hands”
“Meredith was able to watch my two senior cats when our regular sitter wasn’t available and she did a great job. My cats took to her instantly and she provided great updates and pictures of each visit. We will definitely use her again.”
“We love having Caroline watch our fur babies. We can count on her to be here when she's scheduled, and we can tell by the photos that our kitties love her. Thanks again!”
“Bethanie is hands down the best sitter we have ever had! She was so communicative, always checked in on time and sent great pictures and videos of our Kona. We know our baby was in excellent hands!!”
“This was for an extra day added to our trip because of a family emergency and we're just so grateful for Melissa's kindness, understanding, and willingness to take care of our girls again!”
“Gage was great to work with, accommodating our last minute request on a holiday weekend. He was very responsive and kept us updated with pictures/notes about our pups. I highly recommend him, and we’ll definitely work with him again!”
“Our regular sitter was out of town. I was super nervous having to find a new one. But, the very first thing Montserrat asked was when could she meet our pups. That immediately put my mind at ease. From the moment she walked into our house, I was no longer nervous. Her outgoing and kind personality was made her easy to talk to. She always kept us updated with pics and videos. She was accommodating when asked if she could feed at a visit that wasn’t previously scheduled. She is very detailed oriented and our Tucker & Miller loved her. We would definitely use her again!”
“Brooke was amazing and took such great care of my two cats while I was away. She was a great communicator and always told me when she was heading to my place. She also always left a thorough review of each visit with pictures included. I was confident that the cats got the best care possible!!”
“Nadia did a great job winning my babies over and making them feel comfortable. My puppy is weary of all strangers but she warmed up to Nadia swiftly and was wagging her tail and excited when she came to let them out the next day.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
Melissa did a wonderful job caring for my kitties while we were on vacation. Melissa is very very friendly and experienced at caring for cats. My cats are really shy, but they came out of hiding for Melissa. She cleaned their litter box every day, changed their water daily, fed them both wet and dry food and also gave them their treats. We knew at the Meet and Greet that Melissa was a great choice. We were not disappointed. I definitely will use her again and recommend booking her in advance if you want a great pet sitter. Thank you, Melissa. I appreciate the extra things you did while we were away!
Ariel is wonderful with our four cats. She really cares about making each and one of them comfortable and happy while we are away. She also leaves the litter area spotless, and was kind enough to take on the extra job of filling our birdbath while we were gone during a hot week this summer. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is a gem!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Germantown on Rover is $17.34 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 734 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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:
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
