“Megan is awesome! I have never left my cats for more than a few hours but had a 3 day trip. She visited my cats each day sending me photos. One has anxiety to strangers and hides. Megan took the time to locate him making sure he was good. If I ever leave them again, I'll be contacting Megan.”
“As a first time rover user I was terrified BUT Lauren is incredible!!!! I had a last minute need for drop in visits and she not only accommodated me but went above and beyond. She was so incredibly kind about my chaos and my house being very much a dog house. She cleaned up pots that my dogs broke which was so exceptionally kind! She took great pictures of them and they were clearly happy and she checked in with me consistently. 10/10 recommend and would love to hire her again!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with this Hailey! This was our first time using Rover to book a cat sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and clearly cares deeply about animals. Her communication was excellent throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“My kitty is a spicy girl and Heather has experience with cats like this. I’m grateful because it’s so difficult to find!! My cat ended up becoming more friendly than I’ve seen her be with anyone! Heather kept me completely updated on every visit and took great care of my baby! Thank you!!!!!!”
About: I have owned dogs all my life and have cared for dogs of all different temperaments and sizes. Any time spent with a pup is time well spent in my eyes! I have the rest of the summer off, so I have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I am available when and where you need me:) My own dog is very reactive with other dogs due to past trauma, so unfortunately my home is unavailable. However, I am open to any sized house/yard, and would be more than happy to take your pup on a ride to the nearest dog park or walking path!
“Kristina is absolutely fantastic. My doberman is a lot to handle and she did so well with him. She regularly sent me pictures and kept me up to date with everything going on while I was away. Would highly recommend.”
“Leslie is a wonderful pet sitter! She was great with my dog and was very respectful of our property. I am so happy she was able to help us out! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Maggie went above and beyond with our puppy! She took him on the longest of walks and really made sure he had a good time. Also she provided a bunch of really great pictures. We would definitely hire Maggie again!”
“Demi did absolutely amazing with my foster cat Benito! This was my first Rover experience, and I had full peace of mind while I was away because of Demi’s promptness, communication, and enthusiasm. She sent detailed updates and so many photos for each drop-in and even left a printed collage of some of the pictures she took of Benny 🥲 Would not hesitate to recommend Demi for loving pet care and will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: I have had animals all my life. Currently I have a 9 year old Jack Russel/Corgi mix and a 2 year old tuxedo cat. I started taking care of animals outside of my own home in my early teenage years. I've taken care of wide variety of animals including dogs of all ages as well as dogs with specific medical needs. I have also taken care of a variety of other animals such as cats, horses, donkeys and chickens. I'm currently employed during the mornings but I am available in the evenings and nights as well as all day Sunday to care for your fur babies! I am able to follow any schedule you might have in place such as bathroom breaks, meal times and medication. Whether your pet prefers cuddles or play time, i will be sure to provide them with lots of attention and love while caring for them.
“Kim is GREAT! I left my pups for the first time very and was so nervous but she made me feel so much better with lot and lots of pictures and updates. She even accommodated a last minute visit i didnt anticipate. Definitely recommend Kim's services!!”
“This is our second time using Cynthia! She was amazing yet again and we can tell by how happy our pup is! She was great also with a last minute visit. We appreciate her so much and are grateful she took care of our fur baby so well!”
About: If your pet could choose their own vacation, I’d love to think they’d choose my home. Animals have been my whole life. I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. Every wagging tail, happy zoomie, belly rub, cuddle on the couch, game of fetch, and quiet nap together is my favorite part of the day. Some people enjoy quiet houses. I love hearing paws on the floor. Your pet won’t be treated like a customer. They’ll be treated like someone I genuinely adore. I work from home, so I’m able to give dogs the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. My home sits on five peaceful acres with a large, securely fenced yard where they can safely run, explore, play, and simply enjoy being dogs, all under my supervision. I’ve also spent the past several years hosting Airbnb guests and caring for many of their pets, giving me experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. When your pet is with me, my goal is simple. I want them to feel safe, happy, loved, and excited to come back. I can't wait to welcome your best friend into my home. I work for myself, I have a very flexible schedule and can adjust my time to meet your pet’s needs. This allows me to be available, reliable, and fully present for your pet. Whether it’s daily visits or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll make sure they are cared for, comfortable, and never feel alone. I treat every pet like my own, with safety and comfort always coming first. I live on a private five-acre property with a large, securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy plenty of space. Inside, pets have a calm, clean environment with cozy spots to relax, along with toys and attention. I always supervise outdoor time and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.
About: I've had dogs since I was 10. I've trained them,bathed them, walked them and loved them. I will play with your pup or snuggle on the couch with them,whichever they choose! I work part-time & my job has flexible hours. I can do afternoon or evening visits, any day of the week,with advanced notice. I can do sleepovers with your pets as well! I will always be extra diligent and careful with your pet! I understand how pets are family! I will always follow your instructions to the T!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. Cats since I was 11. I have ridden and worked with horses since I was 5. I do all my animals vetting minus their rabies vaccinations. I have a senior Husky, a three year old German Shepherd and an eleven month old Pitbull/German shepherd mix. I have a ball python as well as two eight year old tuxedo cats. I love them all! All my babies are spoiled rotten and I share in the spoils! I currently stay at home and I'm a football mom so I have an open schedule around practices and games to take care of needs of others! I currently do not offer boarding as I do not have a fence. My dogs and I love to lounge around, play and adventure the yard for all the new smells. My babies have my full house to roam and are only put up when I leave as they are mischievous and get themselves into trouble. We go out every few hours to potty and roam the yard to smell all the smells, because you never know who has been in the yard in the last two hours! We must patrol! Lots of walks and toys! In your home, it is whatever you and your pet need! Walks, playtime, medication, pop-ins.
About: From working in a groom salon to pet sitting, animals have always been my first love and you can trust me to care for your baby the right way! I’m currently a growing hairstylist and I’m looking for a side job so with my down time I’d love to care for your fur baby the right way! I have a big yard area, and live right near the C&O canal so I can take your pup on a nice outdoor walk. I have experience in a grooming salon which has taught me how to control dogs that aren’t my own.
“Brittany always goes above and beyond to make our dogs happy while we're away, and to make sure we are comfortable being away from them. Her communication and reliability are both EXCELLENT. Thank you, Brittany & fam!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gerrardstown
We had some difficulties the first day as Maverick didn't remember Hailey. She handled it like a pro, was patient, waited for our friend to show up and continued to care for the animals that were outside. The next day after a second introduction went great! She did ALL our farm animals and kept my tomatoes alive.

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 .

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 Gerrardstown 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 Gerrardstown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
