“Liz was fantastic! She communicated quickly and often. She took great care of our pup, Emma! She left our house clean and even put away groceries I had delivered! She exceeded my expectations and I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Madeline is great with Holly. She is also incredible as a human. She is great in communication. She is responsible and reliable. She is kind and intelligent. You can trust her completely. Cannot recommend her more.”
“Katherine was amazing with my girls!! She was able to do a meet and greet before our booking and ever since was very responsive and kept me update all the time. At the time of her stay she was very respectful of our home, and took amazing care of my dogs. Definitely will book again!!”
“I'm so glad that Majdoline was able to watch my dog and house-sit over the weekend. She was very quick to respond to any messages and gave several updates throughout the day with a ton of pictures, I never had to worry about a thing. She spent lots of time both giving my dog attention and letting her run around and play in the yard. She left everything in the house very neat and clean as well. I would absolutely ask her to pet-sit for me again!”
“Chandler was an AMAZING pet and house sitter! I expected this based on her other reviews, but our dog and two young cats seemed to adore her! Usually when I board my dog he comes home very stressed out. This was such a different experience- he was just his normal, happy self. Chandler is very communicative and sent us photos and updates of our pets, letting us know how they were. She kept up on all the pet duties, brought in the mail, took out the trash, and left the house better than she found it. She's also got a lovely personality! Next time we need to go out of town, I hope she's available because this was an amazing experience!”
“This was our 2nd time having Lauren care for our dog, Penny, and our home, and as expected, everything went smoothly. We found Penny relaxed and happy when we got home. The house and even the plants on our deck, had been cared for fantastically (in 100+ degree heat!). Can't say enough good things about Lauren--we trust her emphatically with our girl and our home and she will always be our first choice on Rover. Very grateful to have found her!”
“Shanae is easily one of the best sitters we have used in a while - we used to have a go-to sitter that moved away for grad school and went through a few additional sitters without much luck on a good fit, but we're incredibly happy to have found Shanae. She took care of our dog as her own, took her on even longer walks than we regularly do, sent pictures, and our dog seemed so happy and relaxed when we got home, when in the past she has seemed more relieved than happy. We're sure Abby looks forward to seeing her again!”
“Rob was respectful, communicative, and provided daily photo updates of the dogs, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable having him stay in our home, and it was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy. I would gladly trust him again in the future.”
“I can't thank Sarah enough for the wonderful care they provided our dog, Joshua. Josh is usually very anxious when left alone for an extended period of time, but Sarah made him feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed. Sarah's calm and caring demeanor truly made a difference. It was such a relief to us, too, knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Conor was amazing!!! She was so responsive and kept in touch the entire weekend she watched our pups. They loved her and we were so thankful we found her to keep them while we were away!”
“Great sitter! He stayed full-time for 6 days, took excellent care of our two dogs (including administering meds), and went above and beyond helping with things around the house. We came home to a happy pups and everything in great shape. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets - fish, dogs, cats, and birds primarily - for around 10 years. Possibly more. Absolutely love being able to assist elderly pups as well I’m currently a college student who has a lot of free time at various times during the day. Happily available to stay over as needed I play with and relax with the pets during the day and take them on walks as needed. Depending on age or size of the dog I try to give them one longer walk each day.
“Mya did a wonderful job. She was so sweet with my dog Olive and gave me daily updates. I am always worried about leaving Olive with a sitter but Nya but me fully at ease. She was also very respectful of my space and was great about communicating.”
“Regina did an awesome job taking care of my pups! She has a naturally calming energy. I've never seen my dogs NOT bark at someone who enters our house, but with Regina, they didn't make a peep. They just jumped into her lap and made themselves at home!”
“Yolanda was amazing with our very energetic dog - she and her daughter kept him exercised, fed, cuddled and happy. The pictures and communication kept me feeling secure the whole time we were away. I couldn't be happier!”
About: I have been caring for my own pets for 10+ years and could like to get into formal care. I have also pet sat for my friends and family in the past. As of now I am available daily for pet sitting or walking. I don’t mind waking up early. Would prefer not to be out too late alone. I like to hang out with my dog and take him for walks. He’s pretty lazy though so we just sit together a lot of the time. I will follow any instructions you leave.
“Tyasia V. was a most wonderful caretaker of my cat Agape while I was away 4 and 1/2 days. She clearly loves animals and was very attentive and loving to my cat of 18 years with kidney disease. She was especially wonderful because she came about 5 times to not only meet Agape but learn how to give her infusions, injections of fluids she needs for her kidney disease, which she gave Agape in my absence along with other medications. She was so gentle with Agape as well as playful. She was honest, communicated regularly with me about Agape...sent photos. And left my apartment spotless. I will use her again when I have to go away for a short while. Thank you, Tyasia”

Majdoline did an amazing job house sitting for a week with 5 dogs. She was flexible and easy to communicate with and also went above and beyond caring for the house and yard. We came home to happy doggies and will be using her again and would definitely recommend her!
This is the second time I’ve used Lauren and so happy to be able to get her again. She treats your fur babies like they are her own. She stuck to my special instructions I had. She knows how to work with energetic or shy ones. She keeps in communication with pictures too. She was there with them all day and night which eased my mind. She cleaned up after them and kept the house as it was before I left. I will definitely be using her whenever I need someone.
Tristen is hands-down the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. It is incredibly hard to find someone you trust completely with your animals, but Tristen makes it easy. They are super dependable, detail-oriented, and excellent at keeping us updated while we’re away. It is such a relief to travel knowing the crew isn't just being taken care of, but truly loved. Our pets absolutely adore Tristen, and we’ll definitely be keeping them on speed dial. If you want someone responsible and genuinely sweet, look no further.
I wish I could give Yasmine a million stars! She is so attentive. When one of our dogs was having tummy issues, she offered to make her a plain meal to help. She is so responsive and sends so many pictures and updates. We were so nervous leaving our babies but she is a pro. 100% recommend her and we will be using her again in the future!
We have a very anxious little dog who can be quite a handful. She also takes medication. Charlie stayed at our house with her for 4 days and he said she did just great. She was happy and healthy when we got home and the house was spotless. We would highly recommend Charlie for dogsitting and really hope he'll do it for us again so we can travel a bit more.
Liz did such a good job watching our boy, Tater. She was attentive and kept us in the loop with his behavior (eating and bathroom habits). She took a great care of him and would highly recommend her to anyone. He was a happy boy when we got home from a 3 week vacation.
Took phenomenal care of our three pups. Jessica paid close attention to them and even bathed them when they seemed especially itchy. She sent lots of pictures and was extremely communicative! She responded quickly to any queries we had and made sure we were 100% comfortable with her. Please, book her to care for your animals she is an excellent person you can trust.
Kathryn was amazing with my two pups! It was my first time using Rover, and she was an absolute delight to work with. She was very communicative, trustworthy, and took excellent care of my dogs while I was on a trip. Will be asking for her help again in the near future!
Jaci did a great job house-sitting my old pup. He has a number of health issues, and she asked great questions about his care during our meet & greet. With her background in veterinary care, she was knowledgeable of his medications and I felt secure that he'd be in very capable hands.
Macaiah provided excellent care for our two dogs during the Thanksgiving holiday. We received regular updates, and pictures. Our fur babies were treated with lots of TLC, healthy walks, play , treats when appropriate and relaxing music. She is awesome and I would definitely invite her to take care of them again!
Vanessa is a very reliable pet sitter and a great communicator. She sent us pictures and videos of our pups, which we greatly appreciated. Our dogs were well cared for. Vanessa followed our directions, and asked us to clarify when unsure. We felt comfortable leaving our home and dogs in her care. Highly recommend!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Maryland City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maryland City on Rover is $53.5 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 10,951 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maryland City. 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 Maryland City 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 Maryland City 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 Maryland City 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.
