“We absolutely loved having Kyla's help. We had a last minute request but she was so accommodating. Our cat loved her too! We will definitely book Kyla again for our next trip.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in Mae’s hands! She came over for an in-person visit before the actual sit just to get familiar with the area and routine. She sent photos and updates the days she dropped by. All communication was fast and seamless, I plan to book Mae again in the future as I go out of town quite often.”
“it was my first time using rover Lauren was outstanding !!! The babies were so happy to see her . My lil dog very timid and she sent me a pic of her on her lap which you can’t even try to fake a photo because the little dog is like a wet cat lol . I’m soooo happy we found her . Look forward to her being our permanent best friend for our doggos”
“Daija really can through for us when I was traveling on vacation. She was very dependable and my dog loved spending time with her. I would highly recommend her services.”
About: I have never not had a dog as far back as I can remember. I love being around them. From puppies to senior dogs also. As of Dec. 27th I will be working full time, however I can still do walks, drop ins and overnight stays. I can still do morning walks and evening walks. Can walk dogs from a small walk to up to several miles if needed, on a hike and just play ball if needed. I currently do not have a yard to be able to have a dog at my home. Hope to change that in the future as needed
“Great experience! We booked a quick drop-in visit before an upcoming house sit, and everything went wonderfully. She was punctual, friendly, and took the time to get to know our pets and their routines. We felt very comfortable with her and are looking forward to having her stay with our pets while we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“Tyler was amazing! He answered very quickly on Christmas too, and he was so sweet to Eve and made sure to ask permission before bringing his golden! I’m glad he did our goldens had so much fun on the walk together !”
“Maria was AMAZING! My two kitty cats warmed up to her instantly which, if you have a cat, that says A LOT about how warm and inviting her energy is. I’m just traveling in this area so I’m not local but if I was… I would definitely be hiring Maria every time to take care of my babies. Thank you again!”
“If we could give Naomi 10 stars we would!!! Naomi is such a caring, thoughtful, and dependable person. Our experience was great, Naomi took such care of our two kitties and went above and beyond providing constant updates and pictures putting us totally at ease while we were away. We HIGHLY recommend Naomi!”
About: Volunteered at a dog shelter (Rylies rescue) and for an organization called pawsibilities housing up to 50+ cats plus animals like farm animals, birds, and everything in between, so I’m very familiar with all sorts of animals and temperaments. Worked with 30+ cats in one space and familiar with administering medication. I’m in ocean city full time for the summer, and I have a very flexible schedule so I can provide care throughout the day whenever needed. I go on walks daily so dog walking fits into my routine. I’m also willing to travel between shore points to make sure your pet gets the care they need! I take care of my special needs dog, Wyatt, often. I feed, walk, and bathe him, and administer his meds whenever needed. All of which I am willing to do for your pets!
“Andrew was absolutely amazing! He was very attentive to my animals and made sure I was updated every visit. Definitely will be rebooking with him in the near future.”
“Adrienne was very thorough in taking care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond telling us how our cats were doing and sending pictures with each visit. She interacted with the cats and even the antisocial one liked her. As anxious fur baby parents, the peace of mind that she gave us was priceless. We will definitely be rebooking with her and highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”
About: I’ve watched multiple dogs at once all my life, making sure they get all the attention and love they need. I also love to just walk around so your babies will get the exercise they need. I’m free most hours Sunday through Thursday. Saturday and Friday get a little iffy but I’m sure I can work stuff out. I work part time so most of my day would be spent caring for your dogs. I will play with your dog walk them as long as they need. I’ll let them out and make sure they are as safe as they can be.
About: I have been around dogs all my life, mostly big mutts, and actively caring for the family dog since the age of 10. I trained my parents last 2 labradors (always a fun breed). I have elderly dog experience both with a big malamute/shepherd mix and a diaper wearing rat terrier. So I am used to the individualized care that different dogs need. On the fun side of things, long walks, fetch and tug o war are my specialities! I can groom, bathe, give medications, play, walk, run, snuggle, scratch and provide whatever care you prescribe for your favorite family member! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I can run on your schedule. If dog sitting, I only need an couple hours in the afternoon to walk my parents dog. If your pup enjoys other dogs and you are comfortable with it they can come along too. My own 3 year old dog is walked at least 4 times a day. He is a lab so he enjoys long walks and trips to the beach, bay, hiking trails, and dog park. I make sure he gets tug of war time and he loves my cats laser pointer. We keep him supplied with dry food at all times because he does not overeat. He gets wet food once a week and an ample supply of people food whenever anyone is in the kitchen. But this is just how my family cares for our pups. I will strive to interrupt your dog's normal routine as little as possible.
About: I have foster dogs for the last two years. I am currently fostering my 7th dog, I have owned dogs my whole life and my dream is to open my own sanctuary one day. I’ve fostered small dogs And big dogs, i’ve potty trained, crate trained, and house trained every single one of my Foster’s. I have experience with fear based, anxious and reactive dogs. I spend my free time volunteering at the shelter to help walking & socializing the dogs. My dogs are my children, and they are so spoiled beyond belief. I’m currently working part time so I’m pretty much home all day dedicating my time to my fur babies, making sure they get plenty of mental and physical exercise. I’m big on mental enrichment/stimulation and excersise. I will make sure your dog is taking good care of! I love to play ball/fetch with my dogs, I play a lot of puzzle games, I take them for a run or car ride to sniff & tire themselves out.

Adrienne is someone who genuinely cares about your pet. Choosing her to watch my cat while I was away for 10 days was the perfect choice. I couldn’t be any happier. Between the updates, the photos, and her willingness to go above and beyond, we are so thankful we found her! Thank you Adrienne!!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Linwood on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 519 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Linwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Linwood 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 Linwood. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
