“Brittany is a gem and we are so grateful we found her. She treats your pets like her own. Dependable, trustworthy and just a nice human. We are so happy we have a sitter for our “not so easy to handle” dog. He loves her and so do we!”
“Amazing experience with Tiffany! She literally saved our week. At the last minute our regular dog sitter was unable to come, so I reached out to Tiffany (based on her previous great reviews). I think she heard the panic in my voice and reassured me that she could help out! She stopped in later that evening for a meet and greet. Totally put my mind at ease. Her visit included mother’s day and she rearranged her time with her family to be able to accomodate us! House looked great when we came home and Lucy very happy. Would highly recommend Tiffany!🐾”
“Becky did a fantastic job as an overnight sitter for my two cats. One of my cats is insulin dependent, and Becky was fastidious about administering his insulin via a shot every 12 hours. She sent great updates and had very thoughtful questions. I will definitely be rebooking Becky! My cats were very chill when I returned home, and my house was just as I left it.”
“Isabella was amazing! She went above and beyond with our pets. I enjoyed receiving daily updates and pictures. When I got home, the house was clean, the animals were very happy and very well taken care of. Isabella definitely went the extra mile. I absolutely recommend her.!!”
“Bayleigh stayed in our home for 5 days with our two golden retrievers and we were thrilled with how happy our dogs were and how clean our home was. We got daily updates with photos, she brought in our mail, and we returned to a spotless house. I could see she even vacuumed before leaving! We travel a lot for work and I am so excited to have someone to call again who will take good care of our dogs and our home!”
“Best dog sitter ever! So understanding, engaging, and positive. We’re super appreciative for Lauren going above and beyond for our puppy and would love to have her sit for the pup again as she loved lauren!!”
“Really happy with Sydney's house sitting services. She was very communicative and trustworthy in our home while we were gone... and our pup really seemed to have enjoyed her company! We will definitely book Sydney again, and would recommend her to others as well!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, specifically German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and strong personalities. I’ve been around all kinds of dogs, from highly protective working dogs to total goofballs, and I know every dog has their own personality and needs. I also have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, so I’m used to handling different routines, energy levels, and temperaments. I currently work part-time and am a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to work with specific routines since I know consistency is important for pets. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that seriously. I always try to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and reduce stress. I pay close attention to behavior, energy, and any changes that seem off, and I’ll keep you updated so you feel informed while you’re away.
“This was our first experience with Rover, and it was great!! Allison had terrific communication, and she was wonderful with our best boy! He loved her so much after just one visit, he cried when she left. We will definitely ask Allison to sit with Henry again!”
“Zandra did an amazing job- our three cats were so well taken care of, we got lots of great updates and our house was spotless on return. We couldn’t ask for more- 10 stars! Thank you Zandra!!!!”
About: I really like to meet animals where they are. If they are high energy and love to play then that is what we will be doing. If they are a lounge on the couch kind of dog then I will lay with them. I currently have one dog and I have been able to teach him many tricks like roll and high five! I also have 3 cats who keep me busy but in a good way! I have dog sat before many times but I am excited to meet new animals on Rover. I work full time on the weekdays from 7:45-4. I would also be able to be at your home for a few minutes during my lunch break depending on the location. I have full availability Friday night - Sunday night I always make sure that I am following their routine and doing things the way that you would do them! I will ask any questions if I have them to make sure I am doing everything right. The animals would never be able to escape as I am very careful with doors and I always wrap leashed around my wrist for a second layer of protection
“Onnelle did a fantastic watching our dog for a long weekend. I knew Finley was well taken care of and did not worry about her while we were away. Onnelle was communicative throughout her stay, sent updates/pictures, and left the house exactly as she found it. She was respectful of our space and I would not hesitate to book her again!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog, so I understand that they aren't just pets, they're family. Over the years, I've cared for the dogs of friends and family, whether that meant stopping by for walks, staying with them while their owners were away, or making sure they got plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. If I'm being completely honest, my favorite living creature on the planet is my fur niece, Baby. She's absolutely spoiled, and I love every second I get to spend with her. Being around dogs genuinely brings me joy, and I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for them. My goal is simple: to keep your dog's routine as normal as possible and make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, or just curling up on the couch for some company, I'll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is in good hands and being cared for like you never left. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pup throughout the day. They'll get lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, plenty of love. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big decision. I don't take that responsibility lightly. My goal is to care for both your home and your fur baby with the same respect and attention I would expect for my own. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect your house rules, and keep your home clean and secure while you're away. I'll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in loving hands. My hope is that when you return home, your pet has been so well cared for that it feels like you were never gone.
“Hannah was great with Jax, our 7 year old greyhound. She took great care as she sat with him at our home for two nights. Already looking to book for for a week for our family vacation next month!”
“Kayla was absolutely great! She took great care of my dog while we were on vacation and provided daily updates. I have a nervous dog and he was very comfortable around Kayla. She even cleaned around the house and took care of a few chores while we were away. Highly recommend for dog sitting!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Locust Point is $50

Samantha and Lacy did an amazing job with our two pups! They always came at the times asked, followed all of our directions, and most importantly, our pups loved them! We have one pup that is really shy around new people and they even came to meet her first so she would be comfortable with them. I highly recommend them!
Christie took good care of our two pups while we were out of town celebrating Thanksgiving with our family. One of our dogs is suffering from a medical condition and Christie administered scheduled medication and physically assisted our little guy up and down the stairs. Christie sent pictures each day and the doggies were well taken care of.

FAQs for House Sitting - Locust Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Locust Point on Rover is $45.51 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 688 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.

- 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.
