About: I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. My experience includes caring for puppies, senior pets, and animals with different personalities and routines. I focus on safety, patience, clear communication, and making every pet feel comfortable, loved, and at home while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and personalized care to ensure each pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In both my home and clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s routine, provide close supervision, ensure access to fresh water, maintain a clean environment, and give plenty of love and attention. I also carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care requirements to keep pets comfortable, happy, and safe.

About: I love animals very much. I can always establish a good interactive relationship with pets and help them adapt to the new environment quickly. By observing and perceiving their needs, I can provide timely help and let them spend a relaxing and happy time. I have also taken care of many older dogs and know how to feed them medicine and care for them. I work from home so I am able to take care of the pet throughout the day, I take dog for walks in the morning and evening and take him out to play in the backyard every two to three hours. I have a fenced backyard and I have a six year old very well behaved and friendly little dachshund at home to play with your dog. Because I take care of my own dog every day and have taken care of different kinds of dogs, so I can take good care of your dog too.

I hope your pet will miss me
“Michelle was wonderful to work with and was extremely professional and flexible in accepting a last minute booking. She kept us updated throughout our stay and took great care of our pup. We’d absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone needing pet care!”
About: My family and I love dogs very much. I will cook for them and bathe them. I like to take them to the park. I spile my dog's hair every day. I'm currently studying at home, so I have time to take care of the dog. Dogs can go out every 2-4 hours. I can sit in the yard and play with the dog. There are two yards for dogs to play in my house, and two puppies to accompany them. Dogs can move freely at home. I can clean the dog toilet.
“We booked with Mabelyn again because she did such a great job over the summer!! We just returned home from a stressful travel day to a tidy and cozy home and 4 very happy pets. Not to mention, lots of photos and videos while we were away, which we LOVE. Book with her!”
About: I am new to Maryland, I am originally from Greenville SC! I grew up there my whole life. I developed a loyal clientele over the span of 5 years. I started with neighbors, their friends, their friends, and so on. I was very happy with the level of networking I was able to accomplish, I am excited to enter a new state and meet your sweet furbabies. I am a full time nanny, I work 6am-9am then return to work from 3pm-8pm. I would be able to provide overnight care, be with them during the day (walks, affection, and up to 5 hours of attention). I don't work on weekends, so I am fully avaliable. I am not able to provide housing for animals where I live, becuase of my landlord. As for in the clients home, I like to come and meet the animals before accepting the job. I meet the pet with the owner present to show them I am safe and welcome. If a written care packet is not provided, I bring my own notebook to document routine and special care. I strive to keep their routine the exact same, while building a bond with your pet/s. I write and keep track of everything ahead of time so when the client is out of town/ busy they will only recieve photos (upon request) and/or emergency situations.
About: We have done weekend animal care on a farm which included dog care in which we stayed at the house to walk and feed as well as walks 2 per day. We give a full quality workout to your dog because of the benefits we get with your dog too. This means your dog will get 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per walk, guaranteed. my husband is available in the mornings up until 2 while I can take over in the late afternoon and evenings during the week and both are available on weekends. being a MCPS teacher I also can work during holidays as well. I can be there overnights during the weekends keep ing a close eye on your pet's needs giving time for walks and undivided attention.
About: I feel so fortunate to have so many dog friends! I feel so fortunate to have so many dog family friends as well. I LOVE dogz; Big, small, in-between, doesn't matter. My daughter and I have been watching and walking dogs for many years. We understand what it means to provide your dog a healthy active environment and you with the confidence and trust that your dog(z) are safe and sound and being loved. We have direct access to a large field with paths, woods with a path, and a creek. We never walk dogz on the street or in other peoples yards. We own two dogz and a cat. It is important to do a meet and greet so the dogz can figure out where they stand with each other, get their sniffs in and settle down. Our cat is good with it all and knows how to manage the situation all on his own. I love dogz...it's part of who I am. We have made many friendships and look forward to more. I can walk your dog or you can board with us. I can do some basic grooming as well. We ask that if you choose to use our services that you write down instructions for us to follow in terms of feeding times, amount of food, medications, smelly blankets and knarly toys. ♥ Pippa ♥ ♥ Sunni ♥ ♥ Roscoe ♥ ♥Simon♥ Thanks! Mike We can be with your pets basically 24/7. We will not leave your dog unattended. We provide pics and texts to help with separation in regards to all parties. :) We do not have a fenced yard and wouldn't let any dog go unsupervised anyhow. Dogs can jump fences and dig under them. We keep your pet(s) in the house with us and take them on as many outings as we can to get fresh air and exercise. If you let them sit on the couch then GREAT because I like the company. We never let your dog off the leash when outside.
“Steph is excellent, she took such good care of Mac and showed him so much attention. Even with the crazy instructions we left she paid careful attention to detail. Communication was great as well! Mac's looking forward to seeing her again!”
“Rosie was an amazing dog sitter. She kept us updated with pictures and gave our dogs lots of love. One of our dogs is very shy and nervous and she did a great job handling that. I would be happy to book her anytime!”

Mabelyn stayed with our 3 dogs and kitty this past weekend and she was fantastic! She sent pics and videos to let us know everyone was comfortable and well cared for. I have dogs that need to be crated and rotated and a special needs kitty so it's not always an easy job. Thank you Mabelyn!! ❤️
Rachael is amazing! They got along wonderfully with all three of our kitties and was such a huge help while we were out of the country. They took excellent care of all our boys, including our little guy with special needs, which meant so much to us. We felt reassured knowing they were in such caring and capable hands while we were away. We’re so grateful for Rachael and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!
Allison was great! She took such good care of our two pups and sent me pics each day from their walks. She even had to give our dog Bella her antibiotics due to a recent dental visit and was super detailed on following all our instructions. It made a trip so enjoyable knowing our two pups were in her care.
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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Montgomery Village is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $111 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 11,118 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Montgomery Village. 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 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.
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 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.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
