“Micah did a fantastic job with our pets and home! We received regular updates and photos and we came back to happy pets and a spotless home. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“SJ was fantastic! They took such good care of our cats while we were out of town. Very responsive, caring and responsible, we will definitely be using SJ again!”
“There are not enough stars in the universe to give Bria! We have 4 dogs. They’re a lot of work and all need different things. Bria was fabulous and spent all day with them. She made sure the dogs were walked, fed and spent time with each one individually. She took them out for that, oh so important last poop too. 🖤🌻”
“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”
“Asia was very communicative and flexible with my schedule, and she did a wonderful job caring for my dogs. They had a lot of cuddles, walks, and photos taken throughout the visit. Will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“I had the pleasure of working with Robyn as my dog walker/dog sitter. From day one, it was clear that Robyn had a genuine love and passion for dogs. Her professionalism and reliability were outstanding. I always knew I could count on her to be on time and take great care of my furry friend. Not only did she ensure my dog got plenty of exercise and fresh air, but she also provided the companionship and attention that my babies need. She made sure to always send daily updates and pictures! What sets Robyn apart is her deep understanding of canine behavior. She knew just how to handle my dog’s personality and needs, making every walk a positive experience. She made sure to ask me about training and what she can do to follow our usual routine as closely as possible. My dogs absolutely adored Robyn and were always excited to see her. Safety was a top priority for Robyn as well. I appreciated the thoroughness in making sure my dog was secure during walks, especially when crossing streets or encountering other dogs. Her attention to detail gave me peace of mind. I can’t recommend Robyn highly enough. She provided exceptional care, trustworthiness, and genuine affection for my pet. If you want a dog walker who goes above and beyond, Robyn is the one to choose. My pups and I are truly grateful for her wonderful service and will be recommending her to family and friends.”
“Ana is a fantastic sitter! Trustworthy, great communication, and she is great with our dogs. She also sent us photos of our dogs throughout the stay which was very appreciated”
“Emily took such good care of my two senior dogs. Very kind and patient, and also left my house in great condition after house-sitting. I would definitely recommend and will contact for sitting in the future. Thanks, Emily!”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Keira is so fantastic! My dog is still a little bit nervous because Keira is new, but she really takes it in stride and seems to magically make my dog more comfortable. Keira is so patient, kind, and gracious, highly recommended if your pup tends to be the nervous kind.”
“Mia was great! She sent me a bunch of photos and I was super amazing with my pup. Ana was really happy, and tired after her long walk. The communication was very easy and Mia always promplty responded. She put the keys back exactly where she found them and I will surly use her frequently for all my animal needs ! Thank you Mia”
“We’ve had such a great experience with Alex for the second time! She takes wonderful care of Maxwell, has excellent communication, and always goes above and beyond to accommodate us. We really appreciate how reliable, thoughtful, and attentive she is. Highly recommend her!!”
“Ashley was scheduled to watch our three cats for three nights, but our plans suddenly went awry and she stepped in to save our bacon and extend her stay. She went above and beyond to make sure the house was ready for the sitter who would come after her, including washing linens. We were abroad when all this happened, so it was an immense relief to have someone considerate and reliable taking care of things. And our kitties were all in good nick when we returned! We would definitely call on her again.”
“Kevin was fantastic! He arrived early and showered my fur baby with love. He made sure to have all of his favorite treats on hand. I would not hesitate to hire him again. If you're unsure, let this review be confirmation that Kevin is top-notch. I felt at ease leaving my pet in his care.”
“Samantha has cared for our dog (and home) twice now. Again we returned home to a happy pup and clean home. Samantha kept us informed and sent photos, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
About: I am an animal lover of all kinds and will provide full care to your fur baby like it’s my own. Skilled at reinforcing basic commands, maintaining consistent walks and bathroom breaks. I can manage high energy pets. I am calm and live in a low stress environment. I am currently working from home and available 24/7 for services. Animals will never be left alone. This fits into my schedule perfectly as my routine is the same everyday and is very flexible for any pets that need services. In my home there is only one way in and out. Therefore pets will be safe inside. There are multiple places for walking and playing outside. My home is safe and there are no children. Cat and dogs will have a home away from home at my house. My neighborhood is safe and there are rarely any issues.
“Jeff was amazing!! Our dogs were so happy having him there for them (as were we)! He made sure they had plenty of love and attention, communicated regularly with us to let us know how they were doing and sent us pictures and videos of our boys. We highly recommend Jeff and will be requesting his services again when we have to leave!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gwynn Oak
Kaitlin was absolutely wonderful! From the beginning to end we felt comfortable that our dogs and house were well looked after while we were away. She even took incredible action photos that really captured special moments. Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! I plan to book her again soon for our next trip!
Micah did a fantastic job of taking care of our Doberman and our home while we were away for several days! When we first did our meet and greet, she made sure to fully understand Birdo’s personality and needs. During the stay, she consistently kept us updated, gave our dog her several nightly medications, and was very thoughtful and attentive in caring for our dog. I would gladly recommend Micah for anyone else who needs a dog sitter!
There are not enough stars in the universe to give Bria! We have 4 dogs. They’re a lot of work and all need different things. Bria was fabulous and spent all day with them. She made sure the dogs were walked, fed and spent time with each one individually. She took them out for that, oh so important last poop too. 🖤🌻
Kevin was excellent! He stayed in our home while caring for our dogs, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. He was respectful of our home, left everything clean and in great condition, and took wonderful care of our pups. His communication was excellent throughout our trip, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy dogs and a well-cared-for house. We'd absolutely book Kevin again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy house sitter!
Julion was an amazing dog sitter! He took incredible care of our dog, Chance, our big 115-pound pup, while we were away. He was very attentive and even made sure to be mindful of the heat and hot pavement during walks, which we really appreciated. He sent us daily updates with lots of pictures, giving us complete peace of mind and letting us see how happy Chance was throughout our trip. When we got home, the house was spotless and exactly as we left it. It’s clear that Julion is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about both the pets and the homes he looks after. We would absolutely book Julion again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter!
Trust them completely with our pups and our home. We have a two dog home that includes a senior dog who has mobility issues and medication needs. They’ve never had more exceptional care and are always happy and content when we arrive back home. Same goes for the house. House is clean and always well taken care of. My wife and I even came home to all our mail collected and our recycling put to the curb ❤️

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 Gwynn Oak 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 Gwynn Oak 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Gwynn Oak 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
