“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!!!”

“Hadley is amazing house sitting for our cats and the best communicator with us! Always send pictures and answers all questions promptly. We came home to 2 happy kitties. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my babies were in good hands”

“John did an amazing job taking care of our two labs for eight days! He treated our girls like his own. He was excellent with her multiple medical issues, including, my girls, diabetes, which requires injectable insulin twice a day. He sent us constant updates multiple times a day, which included photos and video! He was so respectful of staying in our home and left it clean and tidy after his visit. I highly recommend him- he gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our family dream vacation!”

“Would highly recommend Razan. She does a wonderful job looking after my two Maine Coon cats, one of whom requires two medications twice daily. I can see they both love having Razan stay. They look comfortable with her and are often photographed snuggled up to Razan. She also looks after my flat and leaves it so clean and tidy. Really, a lovely sitter. I have booked Razan again at short notice for a few days and she was able to accept, which was really helpful and much appreciated :)”

“Rebecca is so great with my pup jojo. This is the second time we had Rebecca as a sitter and she made me feel so comfortable leaving jojo in such excellent hands. It’s also always a nice sign to come home to a tired pup - it means I know jojo got a great walk during the day. Highly recommend Rebecca and we will continue to book her!”

“Kaylamay exceeded my expectations dog sitting during my very first trip away from my puppy. She was so loving and attentive to Lucia, went above and beyond with any instruction I gave her about her daily routine, made sure she had plenty of exercise and playtime, and consistently sent photos and other updates throughout every single day to help ease my mind while away. She made the time away as easy as possible for both of us. I came home to a very happy puppy and a tidy home!”


About: I’m a loving, patient, and attentive pet sitter with experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra care. I’ve cared for a 3 month-old Husky for two weeks, handling everything from feeding and bathing to training, playtime, and daily care. I’ve also traveled out of state to care for three dogs and a cat, including an 18 year-old senior dog with a detailed medication and supplement schedule. What sets me apart is that I truly pay attention to the little things. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s normal routine, so I carefully follow feeding instructions, diets, walking schedules, medications, and any other special requests. Most importantly, I make sure pets get plenty of love, cuddles, attention, and companionship while their owners are away. I’ll care for your pets with the same patience, responsibility, and love I would want someone to give my own. I currently work part-time about 3–4 days a week, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. On my days off, I have open availability throughout the entire day, allowing me to easily accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, check-ins, and longer stays. Even on the days I work, my flexible schedule allows me to plan ahead and make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they need. I’m happy to work with each owner’s preferred routine because I know consistency is important for keeping pets comfortable and happy while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I carefully follow all instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, supplements, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I also keep their environment clean, refresh their food and water as needed, and pay close attention to any changes in their behavior or needs. For pets who require extra care, such as puppies or senior pets, I’m comfortable following more detailed routines and providing additional patience and attention. Most importantly, I respect my clients’ homes and aim to keep their pet’s routine as normal as possible so they can feel relaxed and cared for until their family returns.

You can count on me for timely updates, attention to detail, and lots of belly rubs! I work part-time, on certain days of the week, and only in the late afternoons and evenings. I am available to devote my full attention to pet-sitting and dog walking for the rest of the time and I have much flexibility. Please refer to my schedule for full details of my availability. To ensure your pet's safety and happiness, I follow all owner instructions very carefully.

“Alex was a great sitter. She sent me pictures of my furries the 2 days she she stayed at my apt. Alex kept my place clean, took the trash out and even run my dishwasher so every dish was cleaned when I got home! I'm thankful I found her in Rover!”


About: I bring attentive, knowledgeable care tailored to your specific creature and their specific personality. I've been pet parent to dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes to my current Sheepadoodle — there's no dog size or personality that's too much or too little, IMHO. And my experience extends well beyond dogs — cats, snakes, farm animals 🐐, and more. I also happen to share my home with a ball python named Fettuccine Alfredo 🐍, who is a distinguished, low-drama fellow. As a plant parent, I will watch after yours indoor jungles, outdoor gardens, that one fiddle leaf fig you're nervous about. If you need someone who will actually look at your monstera and not just splash water in its general direction, that's me. (My avocado tree, grown from a pit, is thriving. I'm not taking questions.) Housesitting, dog walking, drop-in visits, basic training — I've got you. And if you're going away and need the whole ecosystem looked after, pets, plants, and all, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into the rhythm of my week. My mornings are consistently free, which works well for walks and drop-in visits, and I have flexibility on Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends for longer stays or housesitting. On days when I'm teaching in the afternoons and evenings, I'm still available in the mornings — and I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I'm never stretched too thin across clients. This isn't something I'm squeezing in around a packed schedule — it's something I've made genuine room for. When I'm in your home for drop-in visits or housesitting, I treat it with the same care and attention I'd give my own. That means following your routines exactly as you've set them, keeping things tidy, and making sure your pets are comfortable and unstressed in their own environment. I take detailed notes at meet-and-greets so nothing gets missed while you're away. On walks, I keep dogs leashed and attentive to their individual energy and needs — a reactive dog gets a very different walk than a social butterfly, and I know the difference. I bring over thirty years of animal experience to reading body language and behavior, so I'm not caught off guard by much. My own home includes a ball python and two cats, so I'm well practiced in managing a multi-species household safely and calmly. I don't offer boarding, which means your dog's visit to my home would only ever be for a meet-and-greet in a low-key, relaxed setting. In any situation that feels off — health, behavior, anything — I err on the side of contacting you immediately and getting to a vet if needed. You'll never be left guessing.
“Jorge is a wonderful dog sitter. Very responsive to questions and texts. He has a very calm and quiet presence that is great for my dog who can be quite reactive. Would definitely book again.”


About: I've been a dog-lover since I was a toddler, and always had a dog and cat in my home. I always enjoyed brushing my dog, walking her, bathing her, playing with her outside, and even occasionally baked/made homemade dog treats! I love to play with dogs, and I understand how they behave and communicate. I still do those things with my own dog, Togo. She is DEFINITELY my fur-baby, and I take very good care of her! As a substitute teacher, my days are usually full. But once I get home, I am eager to get back outdoors again with my dog, or another dog in tow. Therefore, my hours are usually very early in the morning, late in the afternoon, and occasionally in the early evening, during the week. On weekends, of course, I'm much more flexible! You can count on me to provide your fur-baby with the same love and attention as I give to my own. In addition, I will ensure that your dog will have his/her paws CLEAN upon return! I understand there's nothing worse than dirty paw marks all over the place. And if your dog becomes dirty in any other way, I promise to clean your dog and any mess they make upon return, as well. When I wake up, taking care of my own pets comes after my morning wake-up routine and before my own breakfast. I repeat this around my dinner time as well, including checking their litter box again. When I was a child, I fed and walked my dog first thing in the morning, walked again when I got home from school, dinner when we ate as a family, and a short walk after dinner/before bed. On the weekends, I would walk the dog for longer in the morning and evening, then brush her well. I feed my cats first thing in the morning (around 8 am), a snack around 2 pm and dinner around 6 pm. I grew up having a dog and a cat, so when I was young I fed and walked the dog most mornings (my older sisters and I took turns), and again when I got home. I cleaned her paws and her face as well, and checked her over for any bugs. I brushed my pets every few days, and bathed the dog every other month, or sooner if she smelled bad. I will do this for your pet upon request. In client homes, I would do the same and do a walk-around to collect any wandering toys, and check for any surprise piles (poop, pee, vomit), clean it up., and let you know. I check their ears, eyes, and paws, and I will take photo of anything concerning.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Locust Point
Grace was an incredible find!! My dog loved her from the moment he met her! I was totally at ease leaving her with him for the weekend. She sent a ton of pictures and was in constant contact with me. My dog looked so happy with her taking care of him. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a caring sitter for your pet!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience with our sitter Banessa! She was very kind, reliable, and took great care of our cat, Tikhon. She stayed overnight every night as agreed and kept us updated with lovely photos and messages. It was clear from the photos that Tikhon was happy and comfortable with her, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how responsible and caring she was and would definitely recommend her to other pet parents!

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!!
Daniela was great, very reliable and updated me regularly with the pups' pics. She took great care of them and had previously taken note of all relevant details at our meet and greet. Also, the house was spotless when we came back. Would totally recomend Daniela to take care of your pups and 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.
<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 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!
