About: I have grown up with dogs for the majority of my life. Dog breeds like pugs, Dalmatian, Australian Shepard, pitbull, boxer, doodle, blue heeler, and more! I grew up on a farm with horses, sheep cows, cats, dogs! All kinds of animals 🥰 I am very passionate about animals being taken care of the way they deserve! Along with that I have also spent 5+ years caring for snakes and other reptiles Typically I work in Sparks MD Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Shrewsbury PA most other days. My schedule varies at times and my shifts ranges anywhere from 5 hours to 8 hours don't have any pets at the moment, my townhouse doesn't allow them sadly 😔 but I have had many pets in my life ranging from cats, dogs, reptiles, hamsters, horses you name it! Pets are family and I always treat anyone's animals as such!

“Hannah recently watched our golden retriever and Siamese cat rescue while we were away for a wedding, and from start to finish we couldn't be more impressed. From the very first meeting, her professionalism and compassion was what really stood out - she immediately was able to put our pets (and us!) at ease. When we came back, our babies were in excellent spirits and we found our home looking better than we left it, which was very much appreciated. Hannah is a rare find - reliable, professional, and genuinely kind-hearted. We will definitely be booking her again and cannot recommend her enough to any pet parents looking for peace of mind.”

About: I have had my own dogs in my life - for over 35 years, both small ones and large ones. I learned to obedience train my German Shepherds and they were always welcomed wherever we went. Most people said that they would love to come back as my pet. I am currently working part time and have ample time to attend to your dog. I can have a dog overnight in the evenings and most weekends. My home sits on 3 acres with lots of room for your dog to run. Ill take your dog on nice walks. In my home, your dog can roam freely or I can crate your dog if you like.

We are so grateful. The house was also in good order and as clean as the way we left it. Thank you Connor for taking such good care of our girls!”

About: I am an outgoing, trustworthy, and friendly individual. I have been an animal lover my entire life - my initial major in college was pre-veterinary studies. I have worked in numerous animal clinics since high school and even at a zoo one summer. I grew up with an English Setter and have 2 Goldendoodles back home! During college, I lived and cared for both bunnies and cats. I have dog sat (overnight) numerous times as well as am experienced dog walking and providing care for other house pets. I can provide references if wanted. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions, comments, or inquiries! I am currently working at home full time so will have plenty of time to spend with your pet and can give it attention through the day! I don’t currently have any other pets in my home but have lived with both dogs and cats before. In a clients home I’d be very respectful of their space and focus on spending quality time with their pet.

“I booked louis as a last minute house sit for both my Great Dane and French bulldog. We did a meet and greet and his presence with my usually very timid Great Dane was so relieving!!! My Great Dane became INSTANT friends with Louis!!! His approach with building a relationship with them was so appreciated!! He kept the house incredibly clean and provided great updates with how they were doing! Will definitely be booking again for my work trips/vacations! Thank you Louis!!”

We appreciate how well cared for the dogs were, that she took time to walk both of them and send updates and just generally spend time with them ☺️ thousand percent recommend Melissa as a sitter and hope to be able to book her again in the future!”

“Ember was absolutely fantastic with our Husky. She played with him, went out of her way to make him frozen Kings, and even BRUSHED him which is a whole chore for husky owners? She made us feel at ease while we were away and helped around the house while we were gone - took out the trash on trash day, gathered/sorted our mail, and went above and beyond washing towels and sheets. We were very appreciative of Ember and will book again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Monkton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 2,819 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Monkton. 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 Monkton 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 Monkton 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 Monkton 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Monkton. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
