“Sammy was a wonderful dog sitter. She communicated frequently, sent pictures, and let me know of any issues or concerns. She asked good questions. I will certainly use her again and highly recommend!”
About: I was on a farm most of my life, I’ve cared for many types of animals. I love all animals, reptiles and fish, if you need someone to stop by and care for yours I would like to be considered to help out. Being on a farm most of my life I have had the opportunity to care for a lot of different animals. I work from home and my job is very flexible I can stop by to visit your pet and feed and or walk them. Like to meet them I have a little dog and a cat. I am more than willing to come to your home and take your pets out for a walk at your home, water them, and feed them.
“He met with us with little lead time, when I was tight on needing a new sitter. My dog was immediately comfortable with him. He was proactive with letting me know of any issues. A huge plus was his flexibility to work with my schedule.”
“Katie was absolutely phenomenal with my dogs! One of them wasn’t feeling their best unexpectedly, and she went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. She was so attentive, thoughtful, and kept me updated every step of the way. You can truly see how much she loves animals and how naturally it comes to her. My dogs adored her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such loving hands. Katie is a well-rounded, responsible, and compassionate young woman—I can’t recommend her enough. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone looking for amazing pet care!”
“Andrew cared for my golden retriever, Teddy and 2 cats in my home while I traveled for work. He showed great care and compassion for Teddy during a thunderstorm which makes him very distressed. The house was neat when I returned and he communicated regularly.”
About: I grew up on a farm, so taking care of all types of pets and animals has always been a part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was young and have obtained more skills in my professional career as a veterinary technician. I can do anything from feeding, walking, bathing, administering medications of all kinds, senior care, puppy care, and everything else under the sun! I’m currently taking a break from my professional career as a veterinary technician so I will be at home all day for at least 5 days a week. I have 4 dogs of my own and a 6 year old step daughter half the time that I care for as well. All animals in the home are pet friendly. I have a small area of fenced in yard with 10 acres of open land. The dogs always love a new play mate!
“Ilene stayed at our house with our three small dogs while we were away for a week and she took the best care of them! She sent updates and photos any time she could, and she made sure to follow the extra instructions I had for miscellaneous things around the house. The dogs really seemed to enjoy her and I would rebook her anytime!”
“Amazing dog sitter! Olivia stayed with our 3 highly energetic lab mix dogs for a week during the holidays. She kept us updated with pictures and updates. The dogs were very happy with her! Highly recommend!”
“Debra took exceptional care of our babies just like they were her own. When we came home they were so relaxed which is everything we hope for when we have to leave them. Thank you!!”

Available most evenings and weekends for in home sitting and or walking. Walks are a minimum of 1 miles unless otherwise requested.

“Tim was great to work with. The puppies seemed to get along great with him from the first meeting and Tim sent pictures while we were away for nearly a week. He was communicative throughout our trip and very accommodating by helping out with the trash and recycling on their pickup days too! I would not hesitate to rebook with Tim in the future!”
About: I have raised pets for years and nursed puppies and kittens of all ages. I personally have 1 dog and 4 cats currently. I’ve trained my own dogs to be well mannered and good tempered while making sure they have plenty of room for fun. I treat all of my pets like children and make sure they are all taken care of as well as I can. I have experience with raising dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish. Every animal has their own personality and I have never come in contact with a pet that I’ve felt is too much. Patience is a virtue with all new animals and I make it a goal to make them feel comfortable with me. Our dog consistently goes on hikes with us. We force her on runs even as she gets older. She is 8 now and we keep her moving. They get very consistent play at home and occasionally I force my cats up from naps. Loves of love and pets, many forced cuddles from the animals.
“Abby was absolutely amazing. She was incredibly detailed and communicative throughout the entire stay, which made me feel completely at ease and relaxed while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them and their routines. She was always prompt, reliable, and honestly felt more like a friend than just a pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and attentive!!”

About: I grew up with and have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I’d love to care for your pets as I would my own!

About: I grew up working on my aunt’s horse ranch and petting zoo, taming barn cats and swimming with my chocolate Lab, Yogi. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I specialize in medically sensitive pets, seniors, animals who take their time warming up, and the ones who decide we’re best friends immediately. I care for every animal like I would want someone to care for my own. Clients often tell me, “You must think I’m nuts for doing all this for my pet.” My answer is always, “You should see what I do for mine. 😂” With four cats and a senior rescue dog I truly get it. Our animals are family. They give us unconditional love without words, and they deserve the very best care, patience, and stewardship we can give them. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, understood, and genuinely loved while they’re in my care. Pet care is my daily life and full-time passion. My schedule is built around providing reliable, attentive care while giving every animal the time they deserve. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I expect for my own. I follow routines closely, prioritize safety, communicate consistently, and pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, comfort, and personality.
About: Hi. My name is Hope. I love dogs I have one of my own whom I pamper every day. I would love to walk or watch your dog in your home. or taking him or her to the park, giving your family member stimulation and fun and an active lifestyle. I would love to get to know your animal and help out as much as possible. I would adapt my dog walking and sitting style to fit your dogs special needs. I would also use a comforting tone and spend time with them as they miss you, or even in the early stages of getting used to a new home, I would find ways to make them comfortable while making sure they are fed, walked, watered, and know that they are loved.
About: Throughout my life i’ve grown up with dogs and later in life with cats. I have also worked at boarding places here and there and currently work as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. Currently I am working full time at the clinic T-F 8-6. I will sometimes work a Saturday job seasonly but that won’t start until around spring. That being said I am available currently all weekends and mondays as well to walk your pups! Making sure everything is safe first and then clean. I will mainly be doing walking services so any poop or mess will be cleaned up on the walk and same for inside if need be! I will always greet your dog in a safe way to ensure safety on both ends and trust.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monocacy Station
Rachel was great with our dog. She is very communicative and made sure to give him lots of love. I think he got more excercise in the weekend she watched him then he has in months and I’m sure he loved it. We will definitely be booking with Rachel again and would recommend her to everyone we know.
Briann did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of Ace and Potter, as well as our home. The boys clearly loved her, and it gave us such peace of mind to know they were in such caring and capable hands. She was attentive, reliable, and truly went above and beyond. Thanks to her, we were able to fully relax and enjoy a very special vacation. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Brianne was fantastic!! She was very patient with our two anxious pets and took such good care of them! She took the time to learn our routines and asked questions to make sure she could give the best care possible. She was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures updates so we knew Reese and Ava were doing well! Brianne stayed at our house for a week and left it spotless - if not cleaner than before we left! I highly recommend and will certainly use Brianne for future needs!

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 Monocacy Station 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 Monocacy Station 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 Monocacy Station 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!

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.

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.
