“We appreciate Brianna and her kind and caring spirit. This was the first time having her stay with our pups for a multiple overnight booking. They did wonderfully (Bri kept in touch consistently) and we had peace of mind throughout our time away.”

“Sabrina is the absolute best!!!! I feel so blessed that we found her. She’s such a kind person with the sweetest energy. The animals flock to her!! She’s the only person we’ll be using from now on.”

About: Hello there, I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have had my own dogs for the last 15 years, and love taking care of and interacting with all animals. I have experience with training dogs to leash walk, taking them outside to the dog park, taking them to the beach for a swim, and playing fetch with a slobbery tennis ball. LOL I also have plenty of experience loving on cats (ones that are ok with cuddles, that is!), and playing chase the wand. I have pet sat mice, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even a chameleon and a bearded dragon! I love small, large, and in between size animals and there are no breeds that I refuse to work with or for. Allow me to play, walk, and take care of your animals as if they were my own. I will send text updates and pictures to help ease your mind. I assure you, we will be best friends in no time! Please note that while pet sitting at your home, I will likely have my 12 year old child with me. I will never leave my child alone in your home, I will always take them with me if I need to run an errand. I have an open schedule and plenty of time to take care of whatever is needed. Morning, afternoon, and night walks or visits are no problem! I will come into your home to care for your animals so that they will be most comfortable. I will feed, walk, play, and clean up after your animals as if they were my own and it was my home.

“Sonya was great with our house, dog and cat while we attended a conference and took a couple of relaxation days last week. She was in regular communication, often sent pictures and it was clear the dog and cat were super-relaxed. She was waiting for us when we arrived home and gave us all the news. Sonya is clearly a true animal lover and I would recommend her highly.”

“Kerri always does amazing with our girl. She is a timid and nervous dog, but Kerri stayed with her a few days and was so patient. Rose really opened up to her throughout their time together and we could not be more grateful. She always does an amazing job at keeping our house tidy while she stays. She always goes above and beyond!”


“Lauren did an amazing job watching our dog Taffy and new kitty Cookie while we were away for the weekend. She was reliable, followed all of our instructions, and I felt confident leaving our pets in her care. You can tell she cares about the animals, I highly recommend her!”


About: Hello, I’m so excited to become a dog sitter & walker on rover! I have always been a huge dog fan. I have had a small yorkie ever sense I was young. My sister has a big dog who I also enjoy being around! I am currently college student training to become a nurse! I’m looking for a seasonal job for over the summer! I love being active so taking care of dogs would be perfect! I am correctly working a part time job as a hostess at a restaurant but I’d love to do rover on my days off! I will treat pets like my family. I love making pets happy and feel loved. I will adhere to all costumer requests! I will make sure the dog is happy and well taken care of!
“Max saved us after multiple other sitters ghosted or even stood me up for a meet and greet! He did fantastic with our dog. He was immediate comfortable with him. He left our house spotless and is overall a great communicator. Highly recommend!”


About: Not only have I been a pet owner for my whole life I have also been put in charge of taking care of family member's pets, former bosses pets, and friends pets. I have taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, and more. I can feed, walk, play, do some minor grooming(brushing and bathing) for your pets. I am a proud owner of a horse, dog, and 2 cats. I also work at a farm with dogs and bigger farm animals, my whole routine focuses around them and how well they are doing. I am used to walking dogs in many environments from fields to parks and even in the more bustling parts of town, I can crate them if needed and can adapt to any style of care you or your pet needs.
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've shared a deep connection with animals. I felt like an outcast a lot of my childhood but always felt like I could fully be myself around them. They understood me, and I understood them. Bonding with them has always come so naturally to me. My parents taught me the responsibility and care it takes from a young age. I grew up around many different cats, dogs, and other pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, etc. I consider the 2 cats I have now, my children, and would actually goto war for them😅 They always get spoiled with treats, cuddles, and different kinds of cat enrichment. Im also experienced with pets who need extra care or are in their older ages. I used to have a persian who was was the runt of the litter. He was sick for his entire 12 years of living and needed more care than a normal cat like extra grooming, medication, vet visits, etc. Ive rescued quite a few kittens and helped nurse them in my lifetime, too! When it comes to dogs, I love to include them in everyday things like car rides, hikes, walks or a trip to Starbucks to get a pup cup! I think theyre all so precious in their own unique ways and get excited to learn their personalities and little quirks. My neighbors, friends, and family quite often have me watch their pets while theyre away. I know how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet, but you can be at peace knowing your furbabies will be safe and loved by me as if they are my own. I also love taking pictures so always expect some cute high quality photos of your furbaby while I care for them💖 I am between jobs right now so I have some time to provide full care as needed. Im pretty flexible when it comes to times as well, I can be up early or late and adjust to what the pet owner needs from me 🙂 I KNOW how scary it can be to leave your furbabies life in another person's hands, let alone a stranger. Know that safety and attention to details are top priority for me. I treat humans like id want to be treated and animals like I treat my own😊 I understand the importance of little things like not letting an indoor cat slip out of the door, keeping food out of reach, leash safety when out on walks, reading behavioral signs, etc. You can trust that your animals will be taken care of in the BEST way🤗
“Sarah was easy to work with to set up our booking. She communicated clearly and was quick to respond. Our 2 dogs were well taken care of and we came home to a clean house. I would absolutely book with Sarah again.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I’ve had multiple dogs that I’ve raised from puppies into adulthood. So I have experience with every age of dog I can give medication like it’s nobody’s business. I can also handle a puppy. I’m currently working part-time at a restaurant so I either work in the morning or in the afternoon so it gives me plenty of time to be with your dog and give them lots of love I have been dog sitting since four years and have always stayed at a person‘s house. I am a bit of a neat freak so I always clean and can promise that you will come back to a clean house.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs among friends and neighbors for years. I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while they’re in my care. Also, my schedule allows me to be home most of the day, which means frequent potty breaks, plenty of supervision, and lots of one-on-one attention! I have a flexible schedule and am home most of the day. Caring for pets is already a regular part of my life, so providing walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day is easy to incorporate into my schedule. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, maintain a clean, calm environment, and treat every dog like a member of my own family.
About: I have a strong passion for animal care, with experience working with a wide variety of pets, including puppies, senior dogs, and animals with special needs. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to customize care based on the unique needs of each pet. I’m skilled in basic puppy training, such as potty training and socialization, and have a keen understanding of how to support senior pets with mobility issues, dietary restrictions, and more. I also provide extra attention to pets that may be nervous or have anxiety, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe in my care. I take pride in treating each pet like family, ensuring they receive both the mental stimulation and physical care they need. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for pets of all kinds. I also have 2 children that love animals. In providing pet care, whether in my own home or a client’s, safety is always a top priority. I ensure pets are in secure environments by pet-proofing spaces, using non-toxic products, and closely supervising their activities to prevent accidents. Trust is fundamental in my relationship with both the pets and their owners; I take the time to understand the specific needs of each pet, maintain open communication, and follow through with the agreed-upon care routine. Creating a comfortable environment is equally important — I ensure pets feel at ease by maintaining familiar routines, providing cozy spaces, and offering plenty of stimulation and love. By focusing on safety, trust, and a pet-friendly environment, I ensure each pet receives the best care possible, tailored to their unique needs.
“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Five-Star Dog Sitter Extraordinaire! We honestly don’t know what kind of magic Abby possesses, but she managed to care for all five of our wild, lovable heathens like an absolute pro. That’s not just dog sitting—that’s dog whispering. From the moment Abby walked through the door, our dogs were obsessed with her—and for good reason. She’s calm, kind, patient, and somehow has the energy and grace to keep up with five very different canine personalities (and let’s be real—these dogs aren’t exactly low-maintenance). Whether it was the high-energy zoomies, the endless toy-fetching, or the very dramatic meal-time antics, Abby handled it all with a smile and a level of care that blew us away. Not only were our dogs happy, exercised, and clearly well-loved while we were away, but Abby also kept us updated with the cutest photos and little anecdotes that showed just how much she genuinely gets each of our pups. She didn’t just watch our dogs—she connected with them. We came home to five calm, content dogs and a house that somehow wasn’t destroyed. That alone deserves a medal. Abby is hands-down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had, and we wouldn’t trust anyone else with our furry chaos crew. If you’re lucky enough to book her, don’t hesitate—your dogs (and your sanity) will thank you.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,465 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Linganore. 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 Linganore 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 Linganore 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 Linganore 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.
