“Karenna did an amazing job caring for our dog! She was super communicative, sending photos and asking about a few behavioral things to make sure everything was on track. She also checked in on a house issue (some ants had made their way inside) and was prepared to deal with it. I would highly recommend Karenna, and hope we get a chance to book her again sometime soon!”
“Maria is so kind and thoughtful with both the pet and pet parent. She has a gentle nature that’s great for pets with anxiety. I would be happy to work with her again.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ James was absolutely amazing with Meiko! From the beginning, he was incredibly attentive and communicative, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. He kept me updated, was very responsive, and most importantly, Meiko absolutely loved him! He was also extremely respectful of my home and just genuinely so friendly and easy to work with. I really appreciated the care and attention he gave Meiko while I was away. It’s such a relief finding someone you can trust with both your pet and your home. I will absolutely be booking with James again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring sitter. Thank you so much, James! 🐾💕”
“Emma was amazing with our very anxious and reactive pup. She replied immediately to a last minute house sitting request, came right over to get the lowdown, was great at keeping Bruno calm, and took great care of him! He developed a little eye irritation while she was with him. She did an excellent job letting us know about it while also conveying that she wasn’t particularly concerned.”
About: There is nothing I love more than spending time with and taking care of animals. I have owned a plethora of pets in my lifetime. Over the years I have helped take care of 15 rabbits, three dogs, four cats, and a bearded dragon. For nearly all day every day of the past 14 months (and the majority of the past 3 years) I have watched and taken care of an elderly cat and two dogs, one of whom is hyperactive and very anxious. I have lots of experience building relationships of trust with fearful dogs. My childhood dog was deeply traumatized as a pup, but with effort and love she ended up living a full and wonderful life of joy for 15 years! My best friend's dog was aggressive, fearful, and deeply untrusting. It took years of patience and work to get to this point, but we ended up being extremely close and I was dubbed one of his favorite humans! My current dog has a lot of quirks and anxiety, and it has been truly incredible watching her grow and open up to love. I adore everything about caring for pets, even the messy and hard parts. It doesn't matter if they are misbehaving or causing mischief, I always find joy and fulfillment in meeting their needs and working with them. I have experience taking care of a dog with heartworms, keeping her heart rate slow, for 3-4 months. I have experience from when my cat was in recovery from surgery; I administered her medication, fed her by hand, and cleaned her stitches. My dogs love to roughhouse but can sometimes go too far, and I am good at keeping calm and leading the situation if injuries occur. The wellbeing of animals is everything to me, and I will always do my best to make sure pets are getting the love and care they deserve. Animals are just about my favorite part of life! From August 2024 to June 2025, I worked at Best Friends Furever as a dog handler. I spent most of my hours: -Watching, caring for, and playing with the dogs -Practicing their training skills -Handling crisis situations including preventing and breaking up fights -Bonding with fearful high-stress dogs and building trust with them -Assisting customers with pick-up and drop-off -Cleaning/sanitizing play areas and crates -Washing water and food bowls I have completed the PackPro Professional Animal Care Certification Council (PACCC) certified training course for dog daycare, covering topics such as: -Dog body language -Group management -Customer service basics -Fight prevention/protocol I volunteer as a dog walker for the Baltimore County Animal Shelter. I often cat-sit for my friend, and I make sure I am devoting all my time and attention to the cats. I make sure they have enrichment and affection, while also recognizing when they need alone time. Cats are finicky beasts, but every moment they are comfortable and happy is worth it! I have a chronic illness that has caused college to go on the back burner for now, so I have a lot of open time for pet sitting! Despite my health issues, I did well at and really enjoyed my previous job as a dog handler at a daycare for 9 months. Unfortunately, a few months after I left my job in 2025, I had a health incident that set me back a bit; now that I’m on the mend, I am looking for an opportunity to start living a more active and fulfilling life again. I have a lot of free time because of this disability, and now that I have strength back I want to utilize this to do something good. I will work hard and do my best! I will adopt whatever schedule and routine your dog requires; I have experience and training in all kinds of pet care, so there is no such thing as too high maintenance! I am prepared for all aspects of pet sitting.
About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals! I’ve grown up with lots of cats, dogs & more! I currently work at my local animal shelter as a Behavior trainer, and I treat all of the fur babies as if they were my own until they get their furever home. I care about each of them and only wanna make them feel love special and cared for! Since I'm working part-time right now, I have plenty of open time to dedicate to your fur baby. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. My days are flexible, so I can give your pup my full attention - whether that's a nice long walk, playing fetch at the park, doing food puzzles for mental enrichment, or just hanging out for lots of love and pets while they enjoy a bone. I'm happy to stick to whatever routine makes them most comfortable. As the owner of a 1.5-year-old rescued Doberman mix, I understand how much care, exercise, and enrichment dogs need to thrive. My boy gets daily physical exercise plus mental stimulation through enrichment, puzzle toys, and Kongs. I bring that same standard of care to every pet I watch - just let me know your pet's routine and needs, and I will follow it to the T. As for Safety is always my #1 priority - whether we’re out and about in town or on a quiet hike in the woods.
About: I LOVE dogs. I have always loves dogs and dogs have always loved me (not trying to toot my horn, lol). I have older kids in the house ages 14-19 who love dogs as much as I do. There will be no lack of attention given to your fur baby. I do work during the week. I have my mom who lives with us that is home everyday and my 19yr old daughter who is home from collage for the summer that is very excited to be my partner. I live in a single family home with a fenced in backyard. We have a 2yr old Goldendoodle who is great with other dogs and can keep you fur baby company.
“Quinn is a sweet person and a loving animal sitter. She seemed very trustworthy too. My poor kitty has PTSD and suffers from nervousness and Quinn had him on his back submissive showing his belly the day after I left.🐈 I wish I could use her again but she will be in college for my next vacation. She also has a professional camera and sent me amazing pics of my little man the 4 days I was gone. 💙”
“She is such an amazing caretaker for our many, many animals and is an even more wonderful person! It's obvious she truly cares about animals and is very knowledgeable about and invested in their wellbeing. Plus she does regular check ins throughout the day to make sure we stayed updated on how they were doing compete with pictures!”
“Alexander took great care of our dog and home while we were away! We got plenty of updates and came home to a clean house which was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend him and will definitely be booking again in the future.”
About: Hey friends! I’m confident I’d be a good fit for your fur babies because I grew up around dogs in my immediate and extended family, and I baby-sat families in my neighborhood with pets for years. I understand what animals need—safety, attention, respect, play, and rest—as I was step-parent to the sweetest Maine Coon/Calico named Reece for 6 years. I’ve looked after dogs & cats from varying breeds, of different ages and temperaments, so I’m adaptable and sensitive to the diverse and unique characteristics of your pets. Under my care, your pets will be loved as my own would be! As I work remotely and for myself in the e-commerce space, I have a lot of flexibility to accommodate your sitting needs! I’m a professional shopper/reseller, so every day looks different for me, but I have complete control over how often/when/where I work. Ideally, my clients would value my wide availability while appreciating that I do also work part-time. When I’m caring for and looking after pets, my first priority is always to make sure they’re safe and that their individual unique needs are met. That includes being fed according to their specific dietary preferences, walked and/or played with, and that their environment is as familiar and clean as possible. Cats and dogs obviously have different needs (some overlapping) and I love and treat them equally.
“Yasim was great! Kept us updated with plenty of pics and made sure to take our dogs on plenty of walks. Had a great peace of mind having him stay at our house to watch our girls. Would recommend to anyone!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mays Chapel
Elizabeth is fantastic. I’ve used her overnight services multiple times, and I’m thrilled every single time. She is always my first choice in a pet sitter. Great communication, follows any rules 100%, is mindful of being in your home and leaving it actually better than I left it, and makes wise decisions. My dog Pippa loves her!!
Bear and Sparky were very well cared for by Corrie! They were happy and healthy upon our return. Sparky was looking around for Corrie.🐶. Our house was in good order upon return, even folded laundry on the bed. Glad we had some doggie photos and connection with Corrie while traveling. It helped a lot to know they were doing just fine!
This was the first time we used, Paul, and he did a great job! He was professional, timely, fastidious, and very communicative throughout our five day trip. She clearly loves dogs, and was very in tune with the needs of our elderly dog. Will definitely be using him again!
Karenna went above and beyond expectations- she agreed to meet and get to know my reactive dog who needs the time to get to know someone before being left alone. We schedule multiple drop ins prior to her house sitting and the weekend went very smoothly. Took great care of both our dogs and our home. Highly recommended!
We could not have asked for a better sitter than Sejal. She took care of my Boston Terrier after a last minute request, and sent regular pictures and updates. She went above and beyond when Mavis had a health emergency. Sejal took her to the Pet ER and stayed with her for 7 hours, keeping me updated the whole time. Her communication is top notch, and the love and care she had for Mavis was apparent. I cannot recommend Sejal enough for anyone needing a dog sitter.
Victoria became fast friends with our dog, Oscar! Her care was exceptional, even brushing his teeth and administering medications. She communicated with us daily with photos and updates. She even washed and changed towels and linens, and watered our numerous plants. She’s a winner!
We had Cat stay with our fur babies again for a whole week & she was absolutely amazing as always!! we came back to our pets happy & healthy & our house clean. We also never wondered how our pets were doing because she always gave updates with lots of cute pics!! We love Cat 💖💖
Emma was amazing with our very anxious and reactive pup. She replied immediately to a last minute house sitting request, came right over to get the lowdown, was great at keeping Bruno calm, and took great care of him! He developed a little eye irritation while she was with him. She did an excellent job letting us know about it while also conveying that she wasn’t particularly concerned.
Sabrina stayed with my 3 dogs and cat for a week. She took wonderful care of them and the house. She was very responsive, cleaned up everything she used, and even painted adorable pictures of all the animals for us during her stay. Definitely would hire again as she took great care of our needy crew and recommend to anyone else!
As always, Leslie was the consummate professional and took such great care of our dogs, Cada and Lucy while we were away on our honeymoon! She kept us up to date with photos and news. When Cada had a mild/moderate health issue, she handled it extremely well, notifying us and taking Cada to the vet as appropriate and dispensing her medications as directed. She also got Cada a cone and made sure she was happy and distracted while wearing it. While you never want something negative to happen to your pets while you're away, we're so glad that Leslie is the one who was there to handle the issue and take care of our dogs. She also watered our plants and took good care of our house. Huge thanks, Leslie!

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 Mays Chapel 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 Mays Chapel 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Mays Chapel 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
