“Michelle is Wonderful! Glad I found her. Great with communication & arrives on time. Our dog Luna really likes her & enjoys the company when we are away. I will request Michelle every time!”
“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.”
“We have three dogs (one senior pup who has mistakes in the house more often than not these days) and two cats. We have never used Rover, but Ashley seemed genuine in her profile. Ashley came in for an initial meet-and-greet and our pets loved her. Ashley dropped in over a four day period and took the best care of our pets. If you're looking for someone who is dependable and trustworthy, Ashley is your person. We will definitely be requesting her again when we go out of town.”
“Made a positive connection with our dog and administered injections to her successfully. I’m happy to find someone who can care for our dog with diabetes.”
“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”
“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!!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life!!! Cats, kittens, dogs, hamsters and a bird! At the moment I have 2 cats - brother and sister. I’ve always had a passion for animals and I’d rescue every single one out there if I could! Since I was about 10 years old, neighbors have asked me to care for their pets while away. Rest assured I will take great care of your babies just as my own! *I currently work full-time M-F. 8:30am - 5pm. *I am typically available to house-pet sit Friday and Saturday nights for stay over. *I will make special exceptions for weekdays if you live nearby the Germantown area. (I have my own pets to care for, so I need to try to keep the location close.) **Message me to discuss** *For drop-ins and dog walks I am available all evenings and weekends. As far as your home and pets, I will follow your instructions in your home precisely. I will feed and water them, clean up after them, clean litter box, clean up dog feces in yard, and any other needs required. My goal is to leave your home exactly how you left it. Your pets and your home will be in great 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.”
“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!”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life, I was raised on a farm, where caring for a wide variety of animals became second nature. That background gives me a strong sense of responsibility and an instinct for understanding each pet’s unique personality. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and focus on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, which means I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and check-ins starting at 4:30 PM during the week. I am completely free on weekdays. If you’re looking for more extended care, I also offer house sitting and can often work remotely on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends, allowing me to spend more consistent time with your pets. I aim to be flexible and communicative, so we can find a schedule that works best for both you and your pets’ needs! I tailor my care to each pet and service. In your home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free, including feeding, walks, and plenty of attention. In my own home, I provide a safe, calm environment with close supervision and consistent care. I also have personal experience with shy pets, I adopted my cat Athena at 4 months old from the Memphis Animal Shelter. She was very skittish and required a lot of patience, understanding her needs, and respecting her space when she wanted to be left alone. She is now 8 years old and thriving, and that experience has taught me how to read behavior and adjust care to each animal’s comfort level. No matter the setting, my goal is to keep your pet happy, secure, and well cared for!
“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!”
“Terry kept me in the loop with pictures and her scheduled visits. My “skittish” black cat was in great shape upon arriving home. I was very pleased and appreciative of Terry’s job with BK. I will definitely be calling upon her cat care again. Ty Terry.”

“It's so comforting to have Caroline watching our fur babies when we're out of town. She's so dependable and our kitties are so content when we get home that I can't imagine not having her take care of our "babies". I can highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve always been the go to sitter for professors in my programs, from Weiner dogs to Bernese I’ve taken care of them all! School is out for the summer, and I’m currently working part time with a fairly flexible schedule. I can check in on pets throughout the day, and am free for walks when not at work. I always try to keep the area free of anything your furry children can get into, whether socks or tempting snacks on the counter. I’m always ready to jump up and take then out when they’re ready to go, and try to make them feel safe and anxiety free while their parents are away!
“Nicole and her family are beyond amazing! They were so warm and welcoming to my fur babies and my fur babies love them so much! I couldn’t be more happy with my experience. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her as well! It feels good when your babies love other people and are also loved back. Thank you Nicole you truly were a God send 💓”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Germantown
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!
My Burberry is not always friendly to new sitters, but Abby worked on him, got him to play, pet him. She was great about letting me know if our scheduled times had changed and if he wasn't eating. Sent questions if she didn't understand my instructions (yes i am one of those who leave detailed instructions) Burberry was definitely comfortable with her by the end of our trip. (Questions like how do you get him back inside let me know he was comfortable with her)
I am so thankful I found Melissa! Toby LOVES her and is always so excited to see her! She has taken such good care of him on her drop-ins - she plays with him, loves on him and makes sure he has everything he needs and that I have requested for him. She is a jewel!!
Nicole and her family are beyond amazing! They were so warm and welcoming to my fur babies and my fur babies love them so much! I couldn’t be more happy with my experience. I will definitely use her again and would recommend her as well! It feels good when your babies love other people and are also loved back. Thank you Nicole you truly were a God send 💓

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Germantown on Rover is $17.76 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 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 July 2026, there are 783 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:
- 92% 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.
