“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.”
“Adrienne watched Quincy for us over the weekend, and she did a wonderful job! She provided thoughtful updates every morning and evening, which I really appreciated. As a dog parent, it’s so reassuring to know how both your dog and sitter are doing while you’re away. During one of their walks, she also handled an unexpected situation with our neighbor, who wasn’t fully aware of their surroundings, and safely guided Quincy through it. I really appreciated her attentiveness and care. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Quincy this weekend! We’ll see you in October! 🐾”
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.
“Sherri is an excellent dog sitter and house sitter. She exceeded our expectations., Sherri kept us informed throughout her stay, providing photos and videos of our darling dog (Willow). It was quite apparent that Willow became most comfortable with Sherri very quickly. We loved getting those photos and video showing Willow at her best. Sherri volunteered to take care of things around our house including watering plants inside and out and even cleaning up some large branches that feel down from a tree during a storm. She did a great job of communicating, asking questions when appropriate and informing us of actions she took that she thought we needed to know about. As for Willow, I understand that Sherri took her on some interesting extended walks that I am sure Willow enjoyed very much. We highly recommend Sherri with no hesitation to take care of your dog(s). You can be assured that she will watch over your home as well.”
“Sarah took our booking the week of and still made time to come do a meet and greet with us beforehand! She was very polite and took great care of our pets and home. I’m very pleased and would absolutely book her again.”
About: I have a long, sturdy fence that offers total peace of mind. Whether it's a puppy with zero recall or a senior who gets disoriented, they can enjoy the fresh air safely and off-leash under my constant supervision. I am happy to reinforce your consistency with house-training and basic manners. As a dedicated dog lover, pet care isn't a side task it’s my daily rhythm. I work from home, meaning your dog has constant companionship and immediate access to my secure, long-fenced yard for frequent "zoomies" or sunbathing. My long, secure fence is the backbone of my safety protocol. It allows for off-leash "zoomies" and exploration without the risk of bolting. I never leave dogs unattended in the yard; I am always out there with them.
“This is the second time we have had Angela watch our dog, Kima, while we were gone. Angela stayed in our home and took excellent care of Kima. She sent a text message each day with how Kima was doing and included photos. We highly recommend Angela for dog sitting!”
About: I've raised 2 daughters to adulthood and 7 cats over the years. I've dog sat for neighbors and answered local ads for sitting/walks. I have experience giving cats medicine and cleaning up messes.I love animals! I'm currently a stay home Mom looking for a flexible income while getting excerise and being my own boss. I use to own a business so I'm organized, responsible and dependable. I currently have 2 cats who I feed daily, one gets medicine mixed into her dinner wet food and she's on a diet. My other cat is free fed dry food all day because she has a fast metabolism and is a perfect weight, plus she gets wet food for dinner. Their litter boxes get cleaned every other day. So, I'm use to special feeding needs of fur babies.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats personally over the last 8-9 years. I've also taken care of pets from neighbors, friends, and coworkers. I love working with animals I'm currently a student athlete in college. I'm also part time at work. I definitely can work with you to provide great care quality for your pets. I will make sure that all doors and fences be closed. Make sure every doors is locked in case some are curious. Make sure that there isn't anything on the floor that a dog or cat may swallow. Careful with food and treats that is given to them.
“First time using Rover and leaving my 10-week-old puppy, and Ava was absolutely fantastic. She sent pictures and videos throughout the day, and I could tell he was having so much fun. She kept him on his schedule and was clearly experienced with puppies. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands- will definitely be using Ava again!”
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.

I currently work 7:30am - 4pm on the weekdays. My office is pet friendly, so I can bring your dog to work with me if you need me during the week. Otherwise I can be available for evenings during the week. My weekends are usually completely free though! I make sure all pets are comfortable, well fed and get play time in. Dogs aren’t meant to be idle all day, and as an active person I love to walk dogs and have some playtime in the backyard. My pets and my client’s pets always get spoiled rotten with cuddles and kisses. <3

“Karen is an amazing pet sitter!! She took wonderful care of our energetic pup while we were on vacation! She kept us informed with lots of photos, videos, and detailed updates. Karen was incredibly caring and attentive to his needs and safety, making sure he got plenty of belly rubs, cuddles, playtime, and exercise. She also took excellent care of our home, and left everything perfectly clean and tidy. We were truly able to enjoy our vacation, knowing our pup was in such great hands. We would love to have Karen watch our pup again in the future, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated, caring pet sitter!!”
About: I was an obedience instructor in high school, and took my Sheltie, Mistie, to earn our CD at dog shows. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and feel like I trust them more than people. I’ve never met a dog I was afraid of - bring on your “terrifying” pittie, we’ll be besties within an hour. I’m also great with the teeny, tiny dogs - I’m calm and soothing which puts them at ease. I work part time in Baltimore, so I am available most of the time! I love going on walks and exploring. I also love cuddles on the couch, as well as a fast-paced game of fetch! I will obsessively keep your baby in a leash when we are outside, and well as keep him/her away from other dogs, while out-and-about.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,494 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.
<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 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 , 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.
