“Nicole was great! Very thorough on her notes following a visit. Great pictures of my pooch. Always arrived on time. And really treated my pooch with lots of love! Thank you, Nicole”
“Wonderful sitter! Took extra care to spend time with our pets to make sure they weren't alone & provided us with updates. We'll absolutely be thrilled to work with Paul again for future trips.”
“I highly recommend Karlee! She is such a sweet person and my Great Dane loved her. I was gone for 5 days and when I got back I couldn’t even tell I left. I will definitely book with her for my next vacation!”
“Heather was really wonderful. I have 2 dogs who couldn't be more different, a senior hound and a 5 yr old malinois. She did great with both of them. Heather was willing to go above and beyond with the care of the dogs. I highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Everything went smoothly, and I could not be more pleased! Maisie can be a shy girl sometimes but she took to Katie right away when Katie came for the meet-and-greet before setting up the recurring visits. That made me feel secure right there. It's a weight off my mind to know someone reliable, kind and caring is looking in on my little ones.”
“Madeline was an excellent pet sitter! She was kind, caring, and communicative throughout the time she cared for my cat, and she even checked in on my snake to make sure everything was okay. She followed all of my instructions carefully and gave me peace of mind knowing my pets were in great hands. I really appreciated her reliability and the love and attention she gave them. I would gladly have her pet sit for me again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Cheryl has been great! She not only walks and feeds Ellie, but spends time playing with her. Cheryl is very responsive and helped us tremendously when we needed last minute dog care on a holiday weekend.”
About: Pets are family, and we love providing a safe, fun, and loving home for them to stay! Our dog passed away on Christmas 2024. While we’re not ready for a new pup of our own yet, we love opening our home to others. We have two kind, animal-loving kids (ages 3 and 9) who are gentle, playful, and always excited to help care for our furry guests. To make sure every pet feels at home, we usually host just one dog at a time (unless they’re from the same family). Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while you’re away — along with lots of love from the whole family. We can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾 I work full time as a social worker during the school year but off during the summer. I am able to provide care on weeknights and weekends and more intensive care in the summer! Our dog recently passed away and we are used to providing regular dog care. We have a large, un-fenced yard and great areas for walking!
About: My husband and I have grown up with dogs. Although we don't currently have a dog, our family loves to fill the need for a dog by dog sitting and dog walking for friends and family. Our children adore dogs and love to treat visiting dogs as if they were our own. We are both home based and available during the day. I'm a stay at home mom that is able to let your pet out regularly. We have a large family (4 kids) and my husband works remotely, so although we are busy, someone is often home. We have a large, unfenced yard for your pup to play in. Walks, play and running outside are a standard part of our outdoor environment.
“Maddalena is very reliable and takes exceptional care of our two kitties! We appreciate knowing our cats are well cared for while we are away. Can’t say enough good things about her! Thank you Maddalena!”
“Ariel is an upbeat person and my three dogs really loved her during the meet and greet. On the day of her visit, she arrived on time, left me a nice series of pictures and the dogs didn't have problems when she entered the house or took them out. I will definitely book her again.”
About: I've owned a dog for ten years at home. I also have taken care of various neighbors' and friends' dogs as they relied on me to walk, feed, and play with the dog. I have boarded a dog for a month last summer. I now care for my own dog in my apartment. I currently have an easy schedule with one class a day where I would not be in the apartment. However, due to having three other roommates there is typically always somebody in my apartment. I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with others but she can also relax in her crate as needed. We have a fenced-in courtyard that dogs can run around in too!
About: I've had dogs all of my life! From puppies to seniors, I provide the love, affection and care your dog will need while you're gone! I am a live in caretaker for my parents. My schedule is SUPER flexible! I am able to leave periodically throughout the day or stay overnight at your house any day of the week! I am happy to follow the regular routine you have for your pet. Walks, feeding, cleaning up and a lot of extra love! Also, happy to grab mail, water plants and take care of garbage pick up.
“Travis stopped by for a short meetup and walkthrough before my trip. He became fast buddies with my kitty, and also put me at ease knowing my kitty would be in great hands while I was away!”
“Kayla was on time and had great communication! She spent ample time making sure Quinn did his business, and gave him plenty of attention and belly rubs! We got some adorable pictures updates as well”
“We think Jenni did a wonderful job with our dogs. We have one dog that has sever anxiety and Jenni was very patient and willing to work with her. She is a very nice and easy person to work with. I would highly recommend her. My husband and I were very impressed, and she made us being away from the dogs feel a lot less stressful.”
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away for a few days! We have three cats with different needs, so we provided detailed instructions—and she followed them all perfectly. She was prompt, reliable, and gave us updates after each visit, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful for her help and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur babies!”

Courtney is absolutely amazing! Wish I could provide more than five stars! Professional, kind, responsible, respectful, and loving with our boys. Wonderful communication, updates, and pictures. The whole experience was top notch and we appreciate how much she cared about our boys and respected our home. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you Courtney!!
Kim was a life saver for us! Our pups do not do well in kennels and are not dog friendly, so having Kim do drop-in visits throughout the day was a total lifesaver! Our one dog has a reoccurring tummy issue that happens few months, unfortunately this happened while we were away. Kim helped keep an eye on her, and even cleaned up when she got sick. We will be using Kim again for any future sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Germantown on Rover is $15.54 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 2,092 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
