“Mariah has been such an enormous help with it being such a short notice. She is very sweet and caring to my pups and with all the pictures and updates they seem to have taken to her as well. We will be using her from now on with all of our pup sitting needs”
“Katrina provided exceptional pet-sitting services for my two energetic Huskies. Upon my return, I found them calm, peaceful, and relaxed, which speaks volumes about her ability to connect with animals. I am highly impressed by her care and professionalism. I will certainly enlist her services again and am considering setting up routine playdates/exercise sessions with her. Katrina’s dedication and compassion deserve more than just a 5-star rating; she deserves 10 stars for her outstanding job. I wholeheartedly trust and appreciate the excellent care she provided to my dogs.”
“Keita is a great rover! They were prompt to respond and had availability rather last minute which was so helpful to us! Our pups and cat were well taken care of and they left our home exactly as we left it! We would absolutely recommend their services and will book again! Thanks Keita!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 15. I volunteered at the humane society. And I have pet sat for friends and family. I can also potty train puppies. I also can take care of reptiles and Birds. I also can train your puppy to sit. I have experience with cats. I also have experience with hamsters, rabbits, and farm animals. This will be my full time job so my availability is pretty much open for anytime. I love animals so much I have 5 cats and 1 dog. I would prefer to take care of animals in my clients home because I do have animals of my own it would be a lot safer.
“Mary was great! She provided great updates and pictures of my dog! My dog was well taken care of. I will definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!!”
“Stephanie was amazing! This was our first time leaving the pups for a week (one is only 5 months old and full of energy). She took excellent care of our babies while we were away. She sent us photos and videos of the pups with updates. She went above and beyond. Even gave my pup a bath before we got home. It’s not easy leaving your pups but we were at ease knowing they were being so well taken care of while we were away. So grateful we found her! Highly recommend!! Would love to have her watch our pups again!”
About: I’ve been around animals all my life grew up taking care of animals on a farm. And I care for them still everyday. I love animals so much and would love to care for you baby too! I work breakfast shifts at a Family restaurant so i have the rest of the day to take care and watch your furry friends! 😊 I live on a fenced farm, with lots of critters and experience caring for all kinds of animals. I have taken care of farm animals and all kinds since i was a kid.
About: What makes me different from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and my commitment to providing personalized care for each pet. I don't just see it as a job; I treat every animal as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away. My afternoons and evenings are quite flexible and perfect for pet care! After school gets out around 2 PM, I'm free to dedicate my time to your furry friends. My weekends are completely open, so I can offer full-day care, overnight stays, or even just longer visits to give your pet extra attention. I'm happy to tailor my schedule to meet your specific needs and your pet's routine! I'm also available for check-in visits before 2 PM, if needed, but my availability is limited due to school. General care: I always follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise. I make sure your home is secure when leaving, and I'm always vigilant about potential hazards to keep your pet safe. Dog walking: I keep dogs on a leash at all times (unless otherwise instructed in a secure area), avoid busy roads, and am always aware of the dog's behavior and surroundings. Overnight stays: I maintain your pet's routine as closely as possible, provide companionship, and ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep you updated with photos and messages. All services: I treat your home with respect, clean up after your pet, and leave everything as I found it. I'm also always available to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
About: Animals truly are a phenomenal blessing and I strive to ensure quality care, safety, and wellness with every animal I encounter! Pet care as if you were there! Family and friends have entrusted me with their pet care since I was 16, during college, and even the military. I have experience with puppies, middle age, and senior dogs as well as small, medium, and large dogs. I’ve house trained as well as taught tricks to four dogs so far. In addition to that, I have experience with healthy dogs as wells as those with medical needs (I.e. drawing and administering the correct prescribed amount of insulin for diabetic dogs). I aim to take care of any and all pet needs whether it’s taking them on a run/walk, going to the beach, preparing meals, or just providing company. All pets are treated with love and respect just like I would my own sweet boy, Bentley. Thank you for your time and have a great day! I currently work full time, however, I’m remote and able to be flexible to provide the best care for your fur family. I’m free in the mornings, midday, and the evening after 5:30pm for feedings, walks/runs, providing company, or taking them out to do an activity. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern! There are multiple rooms in the event your pet likes to wander or prefer a little space to themselves. If they love making friends, then I have a sweet Cockapoo named Bentley who would love to keep them company and share his treats. If your pet requires to be caged at any point during the day, then that can be accommodated. Lastly, I have video surveillance to keep an extra eye on the animals in addition to me being vigilant and attentive.
“Morgan stayed at our home and took such good care of our daschund as if he was her own. She followed all instructions we left for our pup and home! She sent us photos and daily reports. We are very pleased and will definitely use her services again. Thank you, Morgan!”
“Stephanie is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She communicated so well and we were so comfortable leaving our boy with her. We got tons of pictures and detailed updates, absolutely 100% recommend!!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
About: I am currently working at a vet hospital, I have worked with animals my entire life. I am actively rescuing animals and fostering them out. I have 5 dogs of my own all of which are rescues. I have med training so I don’t mind watching those that need extra care, including the seniors . i also have 7 cats of my own & i care for a stray colony in an apartment complex . & i have chickens that are also my pets . You better believe they all have names ☺️ Pet care fits easily in my schedule because I am flexible, reliable & know how serious your pets care is . and my schedule forms to them . I can send videos, and pictures throughout the stay to keep the family updated on their pets stay. Even during walks . or facetimes if wanted
“I can’t speak highly enough of Cathryn! She took such great care of our two Frenchies, and our home, while we were out of the country for two weeks. We knew they were in good hands and we appreciated her taking care of some things around our home.”
“Morgan did a great job house sitting with our two dogs and one cat! She scheduled a visit with us prior to booking to meet everyone, learn their routine and where things are, and she asked great questions and took lots of notes. While we were away, she stayed in contact and sent regular updates and photos. She was patient with our pets’ needs as one of our dogs is older and the other can be a little picky! And Morgan was even able to bond a little with our cat who does not like most people. She left our housing looking like no one had even been there. Overall, we were very please with the experience working with Morgan!”
“Autumn responded immediately to watch my fur baby while I made an urgent trip to visit my Aunt in the hospital. When I first met her, I saw she was a genuine person who was happy to meet me and our puppy. I needed someone I could trust during a family emergency and her kindness took away a lot of the stress. She even asked about my Aunt. I can't thank her enough for responding to the call and providing the care we needed.”
About: I've taken care of a family dog my whole life. I am always gentle and kind to dogs. I try to be patient with them always. I'm looking to spend as much time as I can with pets! Taking care of animals is a big passion of mine. I always treat them like my own family. I treat pets gently and kindly. I always put them first place and I'm sure to stay attentive to their needs. I'm looking forward to becoming a professional.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glen Saint Mary
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glen Saint Mary on Rover is $33.86 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Glen Saint Mary walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Glen Saint Mary maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Glen Saint Mary 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
