Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.

She did an awesome job house sitting Gatsby for a week! She sent us plenty of pictures and updates. He had a blast going on walks with her and playing fetch and tug. He has an irritation on his paw, so she made sure his cone was on when he wasn’t supervised. She fed him his medication with no problems. Highly recommend her to watch your pet if you are away on vacation!!!

About: From catching salamanders and fireflies to buying gerbils, hamsters, fish, and rabbits to adopting stray cats and dogs, to watching the family dog, spending time with friend's of family pets and feeding birds, the only common experience I lack is snakes and horses and I'm not shy to add those to the list. My schedule is mostly just elder care and groundskeeping so adding pet care is just the next natural step. The more jobs, the better for me. Living on the second floor, dogs have access to a large wrap-around balcony for fresh air, while cats and other smaller animals would have to be kept inside to prevent escape as I live in one of the few ungated properties in my area.

Razan has watched Poe twice now and has been wonderful both times! She is very friendly, patient, and sweet with him as he warms up to her. She sends great photo updates during the stay which I really appreciate! She is also comfortable giving Poe his medication, feeding him, and taking him on walks. Very reliable and flexible. I will definitely book Razan again!

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs and my family for almost 15 years. I also work for a dog walking/ sitting company throughout college! I am currently working part-time. I have a lot of extra time on my hands help you with your your furry friend! I can walk them or check in on them whenever you need! I always make sure our furry friend is secured in their leash or harness. I also have a backyard if they decide to join me and my golden retriever, Zelda, at our house!

About: I’m patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or senior pets, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and individual personalities. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, so owners can trust that instructions will be followed carefully and their pets will get thoughtful, attentive care rather than just a quick check-in. I’m a freelancer and student, Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized, reliable, and good at maintaining consistent feeding, play, medication, and check-in schedules. I also like quieter routines, so spending time caring for cats feels calming and grounding rather than stressful or rushed. I care for pets with a lot of attention, patience, and respect for their routines and boundaries. In a client’s home, I make sure food, water, litter, medications, and general cleanliness are handled carefully while also giving the cat affection, enrichment, or space depending on their personality. I pay close attention to behavior changes and prioritize creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Always happy to send updates and tidy up!

About: As a wholistic Eastern Medicine clinical practitioner, I bring a compassionate, customized care and practical approach to petcare.  Just like no two humans are alike (not even twins!), no two pets are alike. Keen attention is given to specialized diet and lifestyle needs of each pet for their highest optimal daily living. As a holistic Eastern Medicine clinical practitioner, specializing in birthwork and infant care, I bring an exceptional level of compassion, observation, and customized care to your fur babies and my pet-sitting practice. In my professional work, I understand that true wellness comes from honoring the unique constitution of the individual—and the exact same is true for our pets. No two animals are alike, and a one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn't work. My clinical background gives me a distinct advantage in managing the specialized lifestyle needs of your pet for their highest optimal daily living. I am uniquely suited for: - Precise Dietary & Supplement Routines: If your pet is on a complex raw food diet, strict allergen-free regimen, or requires a precise schedule of vitamins and herbs, I administer their nutrition needs as directed by your and your pet’s veterinarian protocols with professional accuracy. - Senior & Special Needs Care: My training makes me highly attuned to comfort, joint mobility, and gentle pacing. I provide a patient, supportive environment for aging pets and am meticulous about timely medication administration. - Anxious or Sensitive Animals: I understand how a change in environment can disrupt an animal's natural balance. I bring a grounded, calm presence that helps soothe separation anxiety and keeps sensitive pets feeling safe and secure. By closely observing your pet's unique baseline of energy, appetite, and behavior, I can quickly note any subtle shifts and ensure they remain truly thriving and happy while you are away." When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining their absolute comfort, safety, and regular routine. Animals thrive on consistency, so I stick strictly to your established feeding, potty, and playtime schedules to keep their, mine, and your stress levels low while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect. I follow all house rules perfectly, ensure windows and doors are securely locked whenever I leave, and keep a close eye out for potential hazards like open trash bins or counter items. Because peace of mind is everything when you are away, you can expect consistent, thoughtful communication from me, including photo updates and quick recaps after every visit, so you always know your family member and your home are safe and sound. I ensure your home is left exactly as you left it—clean, organized, and secure.

I found Tenielle’s page on a whim and I am so glad I did! She watched my newly adopted rescue dog last minute and she was lovely. Tenielle made sure my pet was comfortable and made sure to go at her pace since she is timid with new people. She also sent pictures throughout the day of the two of them relaxing which is always nice to see!

This is a second time Fido stayed with Lia. Fido needs special care because he is paralyzed from waist down. I will be honest that's a lot of work even for us who is dealing with it for 2 years. Lia was amazing with Fido, and we trust her completely. We are planning another vacation in a few months and Lia is the person I will definitely book it. I hope she will say YES : )

I had Jason watch my two cats while I was away for a few days and I am very happy with the service provided. I came back to everything the way I left it and all the cats things clean and organized. I had multiple follow ups and photos sent to me by Jason throughout the service. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking with Jason moving forward!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Locust Point

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Locust Point on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 19,000 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Locust Point. 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 Locust Point 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 Locust Point 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 Locust Point 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 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.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
