“Allie is responsible, trustworthy, and checked in with us daily! She took excellent care of our pup and our home for one week. We are delighted to have met her and hope she will dog and home sit for us again in the future!”
About: I have been working with animals since I was 12 years old. I started off dog walking, but I have cared for a variety of animals since then. I have experience with both coming over daily and staying overnight. I'm a college student. I have a lot of free time, so I have my schedule is very open. I do work sometimes, my hours that I am at work are 9 to 4, but I don't work every day. I'm very set on following any instructions left. I have experience with feeding animals, walking and playing with dogs, cleaning litterboxes, and taking care of small animals.

I have 5 dogs myself, Gunner the English Shepherd, Ember a Pitbull, Saint, Saydi, and Saige which are all German shorthaired pointers. I also have a goat that seems to thing he’s a dog and plays fetch. Rigatoni. I’m currently working part time so i will have plenty of time to play with your pups!! I can’t wait to meet some new animals! I currently live by myself so I dont have any other dogs staying with me so i can keep a dog if its needed!! I have a room that the dog can stay in if needed!
About: Hello, I currently am a veterinary assistant professionally. I have experience with scared dogs and cats from my time working in the animal shelter and animal hospital. As well as many types of dog and feline medications and injections, since I work as a veterinary assistant and have been since 2023. I have pets of my own and I would love to cater to your furry family! I work 30 hours a week and I have plenty time for your furry friends, their overall well being and task that may come with that. I am very flexible to fitting your normal schedule to keep your pets as comfortable as possible. I will make sure your pets are taken out frequently and are able to get lots of energy out and love.
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for dogs since I was a child. I’ve been around all types of dogs big and small love them all. I have lots of experience with senior dogs (such as giving multiple types of medications) I am not currently working at the moment so I am free basically 24/7. I’m also available for any last minute bookings I do not mind short notice. I would care for your pet in anyway needed in your home whether that be letting them out in a fenced in back yard or taking them out on a leash.
About: As a child and young adult I grew up with a family dog and cat of my own. I know what the genuine bond and love feels like between an animal and their owner having experienced it myself. In addition, when I was younger I helped out on a family farm during the summers so I do have experience being around and working with different animals. I work as a teacher during the school calendar year but my schedule is completely free during our summer break. As such, I am mostly looking to provide pet care during the work week M-F but I am also willing to discuss weekend options if needed and if provided notice in advance. I can feed, walk and play with your dogs when you are away! I can also crate them if needed. If there are any other services you would like to discuss, I am open to hearing them.
About: I’ve always been known to have a dog by my side. They were my family and they came first. I cared for them through every stage of life - some adopted as puppies and others rescued in old age. I've trained puppies and administered medications. After loving and losing many dogs, I made a thoughtful decision not to adopt again. Now I devote my time, experience, and full-hearted attention to the daily care of other people’s dogs as I've always done for my own. My goal is to host one dog a day, maybe 2...(if the first parents agree and they enjoy each others' company). I am only available to house-sit (in your home) in special circumstances and if/when I have no daily doggies who require my attention. Advanced notice is required. I operate as a fully insured limited liability company and provide care in a calm, secure, and attentive home environment. I intentionally limit the number of pets I care for at one time so each animal receives my full focus, patience, and respect. My yard is fenced and I have no pets or children living here — just quiet space for your dog. I offer a "day camp," not a kennel. Dogs enjoy a fenced front porch and back yard with full furniture privileges. Dog TV and "Calming Music for Dogs" via Alexa are available throughout the stay.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and enjoy giving them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and keeping pets company. I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m currently attending school, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for your pet. I’m available around my class schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep your pet supervised, and make sure they are comfortable in their environment. I’ll also provide regular updates so you can feel confident knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Martinsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 612 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Martinsburg. 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 Martinsburg 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 Martinsburg 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 Martinsburg 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
