“Madeline was AMAZING with our dog and cat. She was responsive when messaging. She kept us updated with photos and messages. We returned to a spotless house and happy pets.”
“Katherine is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She connected with our dog Peanut immediately. We felt very comfortable leaving Peanut with her. Katherine consistently updated us with pictures and information about our precious dog on a daily basis. It helped make our vacation special, knowing that our dog Peanut was in great hands. I will definitely use her again. She deserves a 5 star rating.”
“Kristina is an EXCELLENT, caring, trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. We are quite neurotic about our pups, and it’s been a while since we have had to use a sitter. We were so worried about them! They are both hounds so they’re “runners” and one is extremely shy, fearful of loud sounds, and anxious. Kristina provided us true peace of mind! She sent lots of photos the entire time, and told us cute stories of their antics throughout each day. I highly recommend Kristina. You should stop at her name and book her now! She’s wonderful!”
“Martika handled my needy huskies well, particularly my younger rescue with more challenging counter-swiping habits! It was nice to know they were in good hands while I was out of the country for almost two weeks!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Chandler is always so reliable. We had her watch our two big dogs, one of which is very nervous and the other is dog reactive, during our wedding weekend because I knew with her we never have to worry that the dogs won’t get the best care! Thank you so much Chandler!”
“Emily was extremely professional, attentive, and caring with my cats while she house sat for me over the weekend during my trip to Maine. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing all four of my cats were accounted for, fed, and cared for, and I really appreciated the check-in photos and updates throughout the weekend. She let me know when they had breakfast, when she was heading out for the night, and kept their routine consistent while I was away. Emily was kind, friendly, and wonderful with my animals. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter — she did an amazing job!”
About: I have been raised around dogs all my life. My dad bred bigger dogs like cane corsos & i breed french bulldogs. The love for animals, especially pups, should be unconditional, just as theirs is to us!! I train pups as well, notably walking my pup around without a leash when in safe environments. I love any pet that comes into my care! I am self employed as well as an experienced dog breeder. I love pets, cherrish them, & treat them like my children! I spend all day with my pup & take her everywhere. I am self employed from home. I have different arrangements for client preferences including food options, crate options being a cage or a flexi kennel, and a gated area to safely allow the pups to enjoy being pups!
“Sarah was great staying with our two dogs while we were out of town -- we loved getting daily updates + photos, and it was clear from the pictures that our dogs were obsessed with her too. The house was in great shape when we got home and we were so pleased to know our pups were well cared for while we were away.”
“Clara and her wife were amazing with our Kia. Our Family went away for 9 days and were nervous leaving behind our dog who can get anxious and nervous easily but she was in great hands and it seemed she was having her own vacation making friends. We appreciate all the love they gave Kira while we were away and would happily leave Kira in their care again. Thank you so much!!”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats from a young age. I've enjoyed pet sitting animals in their homes for family members and friends over the years. I also have experience in freshwater fish tanks and hermit crab habitats. I’m also interested in exploring lizard, snake, and bird habitats. I’m currently at a point where I have a decent amount of free time on my hands and currently don’t have a pet of my own. Looking to help others with their pets to fill the space before choosing a new forever pet I’m very patient and follow instructions well. In the care of others pets I know they are a family member and they would want them treated that way. Safety is always a top priority. I would treat your pets as if they were my own. With love, kindness and compassion.
“Lauren did overnight sitting in my home for a week and took care of my very needy Persian cat and 130lb Great Dane. She is super reliable, communicative, and left the house in better shape than she probably found it. Will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Lauren!”
“Conor was amazing! I had never had someone stay at my house before, and this was such a good experience. My two dogs loved her, and she sent photos and updates the whole time. She was super flexible with coordinating key drop off/pick up with my late and early travel plans. When I came home the house was absolutely spotless. I would 100% recommend!”
“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!”
“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”
About: Over the years I've helped friends, family members, and neighbors with dog care, ranging from walks to playtime and feeding. I am comfortable with reinforcing good behavior and obedience training. I work remotely most days, so I'm able to arrange regular times to care for pets, whether it's a mid-day walk, feeding breakfast or dinner, or administering medications before bedtime. I make sure all pet-accessible areas remain safe and clean. I do regular checks for hazardous items and clean up any accidents. If any toys or bedding become damaged to the point that they could cause harm to a pet, I secure them away from the pet and notify the owner.
About: I’m very active myself and would love for you pup to join me! I’m a teacher in Fort Meade, MD. I’ve taken care of my neighbors pups for toy money in middle school. Now, I love pet sitting to keep me active and bring in extra income as a middle school teacher! I am a middle school PE and dance teacher. I have availability early mornings and after school (4:15pm) for your pet. I love outside time, and would love to enjoy it with for and with your pet! N/A. I do not sit in my home. However, I am excited to provide house sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits for your pup!
“Maddie was great! She communicated and sent pics. Our pupper suffers from separation anxiety and she took very good care of him! He’s a high energy dog and she kept him happy ?. Thanks, Maddie!!”

I highly recommend Katherine's dog sitting services. She recently took care of our dog, Peanut, and did an amazing job. Katherine was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated daily with photos and details about Peanut's routine, ensuring she was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.
Shanae was fantastic with our German Shepherd. He gets pills multiple times a day and she went above and beyond caring for and spending time with him. He absolutely loved her and we were so glad she was with him for the time we were away. We highly recommend her and she is truly someone who will love your pet while you’re gone. She sent daily photos and videos, and spoiled him every single day. She is the best!!!
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.
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.
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 $50 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 10,885 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.

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.
