About: I have always had all kinds of dogs around me in my family since I was very young and have had lots of experience handling reactive dogs I just finished my freshman year of college and am working a summer job for about 10-12 hours during the weekdays so I am only available for dog sitting and drop ins at night I have a very friendly puppy that will happily play all day long with any dog and am happy to do any crate training that a dog needs
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. My childhood cat lived to 22, and I grew up with Golden Retrievers, including helping care for a litter of puppies. I also worked as an assistant manager at a large pet daycare facility and now have two rescue dogs of my own. I’m very active and love walking, so I’m happy to give dogs plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their needs. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work part-time in a flexible office role and can also work remotely, while I am building my real-estate career. That gives me the ability to plan my schedule around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and staying consistent with each pet’s routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fenced yard, a large back porch, a walkable neighborhood, and a park nearby for walks and playtime. My two rescue dogs are used to sharing the furniture, so visiting pets will have plenty of comfortable places to relax and feel at home. In a client’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, playtime, medication instructions, and any house rules—while keeping you updated with photos and messages. As a former college coach and admissions counselor, I have spent most of my career in trusted, responsibility-heavy roles, and I bring that same attentiveness and care to every pet.
“Kim was wonderful. She took great care of all our dogs for a drop in visit. After the visit she sent us wonderful pictures and a detailed description of the visit. We would 100% recommend her and use her service again. Thank you!!”
“Jonathan and Jen did a great job once again watching our dogs with a last minute request. Great at communication, timely visits with photos and most importantly, the dogs are always happy upon our return. Highly recommend”
“Jordan is a terrific kitty sitter! She kept my Tommy fed, cleaned, medicated with three different meds, and kept him happy with companionship till I got back from vacation. Highly recommended.”
“Noah came to our house and checked on our two dogs three times! He was respectful of our home, and so sweet to them, and took amazing care of them and gave them tons of love and attention. He was on time, in no rush, and fulfilled all of my requests and more. Noah was so friendly and kind—We would 100% have him care for our dogs again!”
“Riley was awesome! She came over a few days before to get the lay of the land and attempt to meet my cat (she hid and I still have no idea where she was hiding). Suzie did eventually warm up to Riley and even sat in the same room as her! I will be using Riley again!”
“100% recommend Dollie. She took great care of our two cats. I had never left the cats alone for a week so I was appreciative of the time she spent with them and the daily photos which were very reassuring. One cat hid during the meet and greet but he made an appearance during the first visit. Both cats warmed up to Dollie quickly.”
“Emily was very reliable and responsive, and great with my cats. She went out of her way to spend time getting to know them and making sure they were happy. I really enjoyed the updates and photos every day.”
“Jaime is great with our dog, Zelda! She has done several drop-in visits for us and is always very thorough. She sends lots of pix and updates about her visit, which we love. We'll definitely book with Jaime again!”
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
About: I’ve been pet/home sitting for 7 years with different families all over Maryland. My goal is to give clients ease and know their pets/home is in good hands! 😊 Since I work in the evenings, my mornings and afternoons are free to walk, play, or just keep your fur baby company while you’re away. And with house sitting, I’ll make sure your plants watered, etc. What started out as something I did to help our family and friends has grown to something I thoroughly love to do! While I do not have any pets of my own, I know there is great l responsibility when taking care of animals . My promise is to keep your pets in the safe environments you’ve provided/created for them.
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. In addition to the Rover Guarantee, I carry my own premium Pet Care/Liability Insurance for your peace of mind. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
About: I have taken care of all animals from horses to rabbits and snakes ever since I was little. I am blessed with the ability to have been working for a kennel for the past four years that’s given me experience to care for them. I feed, water, medicate, play and spend time with all sorts of pups ! I’m currently working full time but I can do anytime after 5 on fridays and anytime on Saturday and Sunday !I am devoted to give the very best pet care there is in the area! In my home, I have four Boston terriers and two cats. The bostons are great pets ! We have a fenced in yard for them to run and play. We also have a pool for them to swim in . They’re spoiled :). The cats are indoor/outdoor cats and are all up to date on shots! We also have two kittens we just adopted :)
About: I have experience with and am comfortable with all sizes, breeds, ages and personalities of any dog! I am reliable, friendly, and have good communication skills! I have two cats I take care of day in and day out! I also regularly dog sit one larger dog roughly once a month on weekends! I treat every animal I meet and or sit as if they were my own. As previously stated, I am an animal lover that believes every animal is unique and needs their own personalized care!
About: I’ve raised puppies since I was young, til the were seniors. Now, we just have one dog and four cats. We love animals, pet sitting, walking, and caring for others gives us a way to do so. My son Kingston, is jumping in this summer to help, he is home from college. I am a SAHM, it’s easy for me to fit your loved ones into my schedule! I’m always on the go which means, I can make a lot of different times work. My son Kingston is home from college, and will be available to help giving us more availability. Long walks, our road is over a mile long, following instructions left for me, I would want that done for me, so I would obviously respect that. You know what’s best for you baby
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was in high school. I have friends and neighbors that rely on me to take care of their pets. I've also taken care of animals other then cats and dogs. I've done rabbits and Guinea pigs. I feed, give baths, give medications and walks. I can currently do this full time. If you ask me to do a 24 hour stay. I am available for that as well. I just need to know at least 4 days ahead of time. My SO travels for work. And I would need to fit my dog into that schedule. Just know I will have other pets to take care while staying at your home. And will not be there 24/7. I will be staying at your house on my breaks and overnight if requested. We do not have a fenced in backyard. But we do take him on several walks a day. Regardless of the weather. He is unbothered by it.
“Olivia is an absolute gem! I’m SO lucky she was available, last minute to take care of my two babies! I was in town on vacation but got invited to Desert Hot Springs for the day and didn’t know what to do with the pups! Olivia came by twice, played with them and took them for walks and most of all gave me peace of mind 💖! She sent pics and was so sweet and helpful! I will DEFINITELY rebook next time in town (which is often, coming from SF)!”

Carly continues to go above and beyond, whether it's a drop by visit or a house sitting. She is kind & considerate, compassionate & caring with the pets, has integrity and always leaves the house clean. I highly recommend her as a sitter for your critters, whatever they may be.
Jaime is a wonderful, caring pet sitter! We really believe she is a cat whisperer! Not just because she is so attentive to our 3 rescue cats, but we were amazed our cat Fearless who suffers from PTSD actually came out (he usually hides from everyone) and she was able to pet him and give him pet treats! Even our skittish cat Rudy let her pet him. Our siamese Louie, who loves everybody, languished in her attention. The pictures we recieved from Jaimee while she did her drop ins and her texts and communications with us made us feel happy and relaxed that we left our boys in good hands and could enjoy our time away. But the response our kitties had towards her truly amazed us. She really has a way with cats for sure! This was our first time using Rover and it did not disappoint! We have found our pet sitter, Jaime and have started to plan our next trip. Thank you Rover and we are so grateful for Jaime!

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 Hampstead 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 Hampstead. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
