“Our dogs had a great weekend with Addie! They were by her side most of the time enjoying her company! Addie is trustworthy and great with our two cavapoos and we hope she will come back again in the future!”
“Keara was very wonderful taking care of our dogs. One of our dogs has epilepsy and needs meds 4 times per day - Keara was very conscientious and careful with her. Loved the many photo and video updates as well. I will definitely be using her again.”
“We had an excellent experience with Nicole, who cared for our two dogs for nine days. Our dogs can be challenging, particularly on walks (they are highly reactive), and she handled them well. She was attentive to their needs and clearly took their safety and well-being seriously. Communication throughout the stay was clear and timely, and it was evident that she was genuinely invested in providing high-quality care. We returned home to dogs who were happy, healthy, and well cared for. We would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Felicia was great! Sent me lots of pics, left my home spotless, and my pups were happy when I got back. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely use her again!”
“Mia was fantastic! She stayed at our home with Maggie and took her on multiple walks every day. She was flexible with our schedule and left the house spotless. We'll definitely be booking with her again… highly recommend!”
“Once again, Allison did a great job taking care of our boys (and our house). Both the cat and the dog were excited to see her again. We will gladly continue to ask Allison to dog/cat/house sit when we go away.”
“One of the best sitters I have had. Frequent updates, followed all instructions, went above and beyond. Dash was happy, well cared for, fed, clean, and loved. I felt completely at ease leaving him with Shannon.”
“Don did a great job House-sitting with our cat and dog! Our pets loved Don and were happy and healthy when we returned. The house was in great shape and Don also did a great job looking after our plants. If you want peace of mind for your pets and home while you’re away, I highly recommend hiring Don!”
“Amanda is fantastic with our 110-lb rescue German Shepherd, Gonzo. He has separation anxiety but you wouldn't know it when Amanda cares for him. He is happy, well-behaved, and totally comfortable with her. We left Gonzo in her care for six days and it was the first long vacation we've had in 3-years. We couldn't recommend Amanda more highly!”
“Jason was great with Sunny - who is not an easy puppy! She is still teething and had to have restricted activity and she seemed yo bond with him immediately.”
“Kimberly (Kay) is a sweet girl who was great with our two older dogs. She was an excellent communicator, kept us informed about everything and sent lots of pics. She also took wonderful care of our house. We definitely recommend Kay and look forward to working with her again.”
“Jina was an amazing house-sitter for our dog! She gave us daily detailed updates and pictures. Our dog loved her and we felt very comfortable on our trip knowing Jina was watching him. We would absolutely book her again!”
About: I have experience with puppies and dogs I have had 2 dogs before a pug and a German Shepard I love taking walks and being outside! I’m a college student but most of my classes are from 9am-12pm so I’m free the rest of the day for whatever your pet needs. I have my own car so I drive a lot and can do homework from my computer. My cats are my number one priority keeping them safe is everything. We always make sure to check for our babies when leaving the house or doing laundry. I’m very careful when it comes to animal Saftey and making sure they are the happiest they can ever be when I’m taking care of them.
About: I have been around dogs almost my whole life and enjoy taking care of them! I got my dog when I was around 15 and she is genuinely the best part of my life! I know how difficult it is to find someone you trust enough to take care of your dog and will make sure that I can be that person for others. I’ve dog sat for people throughout the years and it is such an amazing experience to spend time with the dogs. I am currently searching for a full time job after recently finishing university so my availability to take care of your furry loved ones is pretty open. Growing up my mom has always been employed as a house cleaner and would take me with her to help, from a young age I’ve always known how to respect people’s homes even when they are not present. Ensuring that people are comfortable enough to trust me with their pet in their home is my utmost priority.
About: I have over 20 years of experience taking care of my own, friends, family and others animals. I am well versed with dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and hamsters to name a few. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide consistent care, attention, walks, playtime, and companionship while keeping pets comfortable and on their regular schedule. I enjoy making pet care a rewarding part of my day. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I give each pet plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and individualized care while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home while their owners are away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Montgomery Village
Nicole did a great job watching Finn! He had a recent injury and had to be watched a little closer than usual and we felt extremely comfortable with him under Nicole’s care. She provided plenty of updates and pictures, and we were able to see just how much fun he was having with her during their time together! Additionally the apartment was left spotless, which was way more than we could have ever expected! It was clear Finn and our home were both treated exceptionally well!
Thelma did a great job and our cat loved her! She sent so many pictures with each update and left our house cleaner than when we left, and was super responsive whenever we had any questions. She also had the extra exciting experience of our street getting closed for an emergency during her time pet sitting, which she handled without any issue and kept us updated about!
Kimberly (Kay) is a sweet girl who was great with our two older dogs. She was an excellent communicator, kept us informed about everything and sent lots of pics. She also took wonderful care of our house. We definitely recommend Kay and look forward to working with her again.
Shanice was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She house-sat for us and was reliable, caring, and very responsible throughout her stay. She communicated quickly and consistently, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I had to extend my trip by one extra day, and she was incredibly flexible and kind enough to accommodate the change. She also went above and beyond by coming back to my home after some unexpected logistics glitches to make sure everything was taken care of. It’s difficult to find someone you can truly trust with your home and your pets, but Shanice was amazing! I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring pet sitter.
Relle is wonderful! We went on a lengthy vacation and she provided excellent care of our pets, plants, etc. Her calm demeanor and personality really helped our pets adjust, especially our anxious dog. Relle sent daily updates and super cute photos, which gave us peace of mind while away. She also gave lots of attention, exercise, and entertainment to our cats and dog. Our fur babies adored her!
Anna was great! She offered to come by beforehand to meet us and the dogs, which I really appreciated. She stayed overnight with them and was very responsive throughout, quickly sharing updates and photos whenever I checked in. We came home to two happy pups and I’d definitely recommend her!

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 Montgomery Village 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 Montgomery Village 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 Montgomery Village 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.
