“I had Grace housesit/petsit for 3 days. She was excellent! I'm a helicopter cat mom and it's not easy leaving your home and baby with someone you don't know, Grace made the experience worry-free, my shy cat loved her and she sent frequent pics/updates. My house looked great when I got back, she even watered my plants. I'm definitely booking her again, and you should too, she's trustworthy, reliable and was just a nice, easy person to work with.”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I have nearly two years of experience working as a veterinary assistant, where I cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, temperaments, and care needs. This experience taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and making every animal feel as comfortable as possible. I’m also a puppy raiser with Susquehanna Service Dogs, which has given me hands-on experience with puppy training, socialization, positive reinforcement, and reinforcing good manners. I earned my degree in Agricultural Sciences from Penn State, where I further developed my knowledge of animal health, nutrition, and care. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and provide plenty of walks, playtime, enrichment, attention, and affection based on what they enjoy most. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind that they’re in good hands. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to work with pet parents to make sure their pets receive consistent, dependable care. I understand how important routines are for animals, so I do my best to follow your pet’s usual schedule for meals, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and relaxation. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s individual needs and schedule ahead of time so we can make sure they receive the attention and care they’re used to while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. My experience as a veterinary assistant has taught me to pay close attention to animal behavior, body language, and changes that could indicate a pet is uncomfortable or not feeling like themselves. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both your home and the routines you’ve established for your pets. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications or special care, household rules, and any safety precautions you provide. I also take the time to let pets become comfortable with me at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or nervous around new people. I know that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision. My goal is to provide responsible, attentive care while keeping you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and in caring hands while you’re away. 🐾

About: Hi, I've been around pets for the last 15ish years with that I've learned that not all dogs are the same and will react the same way towards everyone. I have worked with dogs who were previously in shelters, nervous dogs, fearful dogs, and anxious dogs. I have experience dog sitting small and big dogs. I have potty trained my own dogs and have helped friends potty train as well. I'm comfortable with bathing, brushing, feeding, walking, and interacting with dogs. I have worked with special needs dogs and am comfortable changing their diapers, applying creams and ointments, and applying wraps or bandages if needed. I'm comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and brushing cats. I've also taken care of small reptiles like bearded dragons and geckos, as well as birds like cockatiels and parakeets. I just moved to the area and have flexible availability. I am available for drop ins and walks throughout the day. No time is too early or too late. I'm open to last minute drop ins or walks as long as it is communicated. I'm great at sticking to your pets eating schedule as well as establishing routines if needed. I'm able to clean up after your pet, feed them, interact with them, and stimulate their brain as well.

“Brooke is a wonderful pet sitter! Amigo is a rescue and had a sad beginning so he is sometimes withdrawn around strangers but he immediately loved Brooke! She is so reliable and shows up on time and lets you know her schedule in advance. She is great with animals and a very sweet person. She is very smart and catches on quickly. Reluctantly highly recommend her because if everyone uses her she might be too busy when we need her next and I definitely want her the next time we need a sitter!”

“This was the first time Lydia watched my 3 pups. She is very nice and I felt comfortable at the meet and greet. I knew she would take great care of them. She gave updates and assured me they were fine. My female dog was struggling when I first left , Lydia gave her extra love. Now that I am home, I think my Bailey is missing Lydia. I will definitely reach out to her in the future.”

“Majiyah was amazing while I was away. I was a little hesitant at first about having a house sitter stay in my home, but she made me feel completely comfortable. She took great care of my dog and my home, and she really went above and beyond. When she thought he may have had a food allergy, she took the time to cook his food and make sure he was okay. She also took him to get a bath, picked up extra dog treats for him, and even cleaned my home before I got back. I noticed that my dog quickly became comfortable with her during her stay, which is always a positive sign. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend Majiyah to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes pets deserve their own little staycation while you’re away! Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, some backyard playtime, belly rubs on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine — meals, walks, medications, playtime, and all the extra snuggles they’ll allow. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for and getting lots of love while you’re gone. 🐾 My schedule is flexible as my husband is a business owner and I work part-time for him, which gives me plenty of time to work pet care into my day. I’m happy to plan visits, walks, feeding times, and check-ins around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need occasional help, vacation coverage, or regular visits, I’ll do my best to make things easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, doors or gates, and anything else that helps your pet feel secure. I’m also very respectful of your home and belongings and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it. 🐾

About: Before joining Rover I mainly provided my services through word of mouth. I have experience with providing basic medical care for dogs and cats, and training experience including potty training and easing separation anxiety. I have vast experience and knowledge on various breeds and their specific needs, and really just love being able to have the time and availability to be able to provide these services. They say a dog is a man’s best friend, but in my case, a dog has always been a woman’s best friend! I offer dog sitting, walking, training and boarding at my home as well. I am brand new to the app but I do have plenty of references and want to make all owners feel just as comfortable as I want to ensure their pets will feel with me! I currently work a part-time job from my home, so I have a flexible schedule and able to meet any needs your pet has. I am available everyday, all hours mainly, and can accommodate you and your pets schedule! In my home all pets are welcome. I have plenty of walking trails and a back yard for pets that stay at my home. I typically will customize the walks, food, bathing etc depending on the needs of the pet and what works best for them and the owner.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hurlock

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 264 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hurlock. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Hurlock 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 Hurlock 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 Hurlock 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hurlock. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
