“Everything is great and my favorite part is the photo updates, makes me miss Ruger more while I’m gone but also relieved that he is well taken care of! We were gone for two days and Katherine stayed with Ruger at our home. We went home and Ruger is just as happy as he is and I’m sure he misses Katherine!”
“LaDawn is fantastic! She house sat at my home - 2 large dogs and 2 indoor cats (and some outdoor wildlife LOL). Great communication and updates. I highly recommend and will definitely be booking her services again!”
“This was the first time we left our puppy Fiona. We left her with Evangeline and couldn’t be more pleased. Fiona loves her. Our puppy and home were very well taken care of. We would definitely use Evangeline again!”
“Briana was great with our pups! She stopped by for a home visit before the dog sitting, and was great with communication before and during the stay. The pups looks happy and well cared for when we returned.”
“Amber was very reliable and extremely kind and sweet to the animals. I enjoyed getting updates and pictures daily! I came home to very happy pets, so I know they were in good hands. Thank you Amber!”
“Halee did a fantastic job with our doggies! She is very knowledgeable and was able to make a good connection with our very skittish dogs. She kept us informed about what was going on and how they were doing a couple times a day. She is very trustworthy and professional. We will gladly have her come back when we have a need for a pet sitter again. Thank You Halee, you are really great!”
“Our first time using Rover and Adriana. It worked out quite well. Adriana was great! She was responsive and on time for our meet and greet and her scheduled dog sitting event. She was very sweet and continued to smile when our big 90 lb baby Remi happily (and powerfully) greeted her, Mr Remi as she affectionately called him. She followed our instructions as discussed. She sent pictures and text updates during her stay with Mr Remi and left our home just as neat as when she arrived. We are feeling fairly confident and happy we have found our Rover match! We look forward to calling on her again to stay with Mr Remi and continuing to foster a healthy and safe dog care relationship.”
About: Good on you, friend! You want more than a cold cage for your pup. And you want a family to treat your pup with genuine care and affection when you cannot take her or him with you. So, thank you for your interest in our dog boarding services. As we live in Hagerstown, we offer free shuttle service for our clients along the I-270 corridor—Bethesda, North Bethesda, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Germantown, Urbana, and Frederick. Our clients are very welcomed to pick-up and drop-off at our home if their plans take them through Hagerstown. We're excited to be in our sixth year with Rover! During this time, we developed wonderful and continuing relationships with many of our repeat guests and their parents. Find out for yourself why our clients trust us with their precious furry ones and refer to the Lounge as their dogs' "vacation home"...their dogs' "home away from home"...their dogs’ "second home/family". Many of our guests seem to develop friendships among themselves as they often encounter one another at the Lounge. We also understand that a few of our guests' parents have become familiar with one another and occasionally meet at dog parks for playdates. You are welcomed to apply promo code WARDOL86713 to save $20 if you are new to Rover. If our calendar shows we are unavailable, please don’t hesitate to message us just to be sure…we may be able to squeeze you in🐾🐾 Our flexible schedules allow us to be home when your pet is trusted to our care. Plus, our teenager has a very light after school/summer activities and sports schedule. Together, we are committed to care for our guests just as if they were members of our own family. This includes taking your pooch with us when we need to be away from our home, if that is acceptable to you. We’ll send lots of messages with pics and clips that keep you in touch. And you can call us anytime through our Rover phone number if you ever need to discuss a particular matter. We have a spare room with open beds, large crates, and collapsible kennels are available if required/requested. Please remember to pack your dog’s favorite food, treats, toys, blanket, etc., to make their stay more comfortable. We provide the dog beds, bowls, and potty pads and bags, so there's no need for you to worry about any of that.
“Taylor was a last minute lifesaver because I accidentally booked the wrong dates with our regular in home dog sitter. Outside of this, Taylor did an awesome job with our three rambunctious dogs, sent updates with pictures and even vacuumed before she left. We can’t wait to rebook with Taylor!”
“Lindsey was amazing with our dogs and she took great care of our house during her stay. She provided some training and reported their progress to me. The house looked the exact same as I left it (she left no mess behind). She washed the sheets on the bed and remade the bed. She cleaned all towels that she used and folded them for me. She was quick to respond every time I messaged her. I highly recommend Lindsey for any pet sitting or house sitting. You will not be disappointed.”
“Emma was absolutely a blessing!! We booked Emma for pet sitting in our home with overnight stay!! Maggie has severe separation anxiety. Emma stayed with her 24/7 for 4 days and provided the best care and companionship for Maggie. She keep us updated with pics and check ins. She cleaned up after herself, even washing towels and sheets without being asked! I swear our house looked and smelled better than when we left! Emma is a beautiful soul who will care deeply for your pets. We will 100% book Emma again ❤️”
“Awesome Job!!!! Erika came in at the last minute and was able to help us take care of our babies. She was very friendly and loved our babies they were very happy. I would recommend her and use her services again.”
About: Though I've never had my own dog, I have always adored taking care of my loved ones' canine friends! From pitbulls to pugs and everything in-between, I am a reliable and dedicated caretaker for your pups :) I am on a break from full-time employment this summer so I can accommodate many bookings at various times thanks to my expanded availability. I am unable to care for pets in my own home but am willing to go to yours. Once you walk me through the care plan for your specific pet(s), I'm confident that they will be in good hands with me!
“Absolutely amazing! She kept me up to date on my dogs while I was away and took great care of them. I felt at ease knowing she was great with them and they were in great hands! Definitely recommend!”
About: I've taken care of all types of animals. Iguanas, turtles, rats, dogs and cats and more. I've very passionate about animals and ensuring they are cared for properly. I work from home. I have a dog and two cats. They are my work buddies throughout the day. Love walking and taking my dog for walks around town during work breaks. I have a very flexible schedule and can make time for any extra care needed. I have a fenced yard for dogs to play in.
About: **please note I have a day job that takes me away from my house M-F from 5:30am until 4:15pm…all boarded pets will be let out to potty immediately upon returning home ** I have been taken care of dogs for over 15 years. My first dog 2 when I adopted him and I cared for him until he crossed over the rainbow bridge when he passed at 10yrs old. I also raised two puppies from 8 weeks until they crossed over as well. I work full time away from home Monday thru Friday, so your pet would be alone for about 8hrs week days. I will make sure they are let out before I leave and let out again immediately once I return home. I am able to walk dogs / check in on family pets after 4:30pm on week days. I have a deck and a 6ft tall fenced in yard. I do not have small children in my home. I also do not have any other pets that may not get along with another dog. I will always care for your pet as if it were my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Maugansville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Maugansville on Rover is $87.1 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 674 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maugansville. 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 Maugansville 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 Maugansville 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 Maugansville 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maugansville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
