“Holly is a fantastic pet sitter! She takes good care of all of my critters and I have no worries when I am away. My dog loves her to pieces. Holly communicates well during her visits and sends pictures every time she drops by. Thank you, Holly!”
“Kristi is amazing! Our Maggie really seemed to have gotten lots of loving and play time for our drop in visit. We got lots of videos and photos and reassurance that Maggie was in good hands. We are so happy and excited to book Kristi again!”
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals for 6 plus years for all my local friends and family with the utmost joy.

About: I’ve had a dog in my family for as long as I can remember, from my childhood husky Ginger to our current family pekingese Alley. I absolutely adore dogs and jump at every chance to hang out with any of my friends dogs as well. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including those with special medical needs. I currently work part time at a restaurant and will be dedicated to your pet’s care every second I am not at work. I would never accept a job that would require me to compromise a pet’s needs and they will always come first in my life. I am committed to following any and all instructions given for dog/cat care. I understand that being in someone else’s home means following their rules and I will respect any spaces I am invited into.
About: I have 5 years of experience working at a kennel as a kennel technician. In this position I worked with all different breeds and ages of dogs. I learned how to take care of dogs with all sorts of health needs depending on their abilities and conditions. I have no problem with any dogs and I love working with them! I'm working a full time job but I am able to do overnight on weekends (thursday through Monday since I work from home sometimes) and I can yelp out throughout the week after normal work hours. I am comfortable with whatever specific needs your dog has. I have no problem crating a dog, walking a dog, hanging out, whatever is needed for your specific pet, I am willing and able to do.
About: I have had dogs, cats, birds etc my entire life and can take care of any kind of pet young, old, special needs. I currently have a rescue dog named Zena (age 1) and a siberian forest cat named max (age 5) and they get along well with all other animals. I am also fully vetted by the A Darrah Bully Bull Rescue as I've adopted and volunteer for the rescue. I work Monday-Friday during the day and home in the late afternoon/ early evenings so weekends are best for boarding but if your dog is crate trained I can take during the week. Able to do drop in care early mornings and evenings during the week and anytime on the weekends. I have a fenced in yard with a friendly dog and cat at home. Zena would love a playmate or buddy to walk with or swim in her little pool.

I really enjoy being around animals and making sure they’re happy and well cared for Hii! 🐾 I work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your furry friends the love and attention they deserve! I’m available after 1 PM Monday through Thursday, and my weekend availability may vary by day, with additional time often available. I can’t wait to meet your pets! ❤️ I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment, follow routines, secure doors, monitor behavior, and give pets consistent attention, comfort, and supervision at all times.

About: I've owned animals all my life. Provide loving and attentive care for all your pet needs. Reliable, trustworthy, and dedicated to providing the best care for all animals! I'm currently SAHM looking to help people with all their animal care needs. I love working with animals and would love to take any stress off your mind when leaving your fur babies for any amount of time. In my home I love and care for one dog, two cats and a turtle. I have a full house which is why I can only provide home visits.
About: As a proud dog mom to my own rescue pup, I know firsthand that dogs are more than just pets—they're family! 🐾❤️ I absolutely adore my dog and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family member. I have a genuine love for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities! I also have hands-on experience volunteering at the Humane Society, where I walked and cared for dogs with a variety of temperaments, energy levels, and individual needs. In addition to providing everyday care, I have experience administering medications and giving injections, allowing me to confidently care for dogs who may require a little extra attention or have specific medical needs. I understand the importance of following instructions carefully, maintaining routines, and ensuring every pup receives safe, attentive, and compassionate care. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit filled with playtime and cuddles, or a comfortable home away from home while you're traveling, I'd love to help! I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I strive to make each one feel safe, happy, and loved. My goal is simple: to treat every dog as if they were my own! I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member and provide you with peace of mind knowing they're in loving, capable hands. 🐶💕 I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be present throughout the day to provide attentive, personalized care. My own dog gets exercise at least three times a day, whether that's going on walks, enjoying outdoor playtime, or participating in activities to keep her physically and mentally stimulated. Because I'm home throughout the day, I'm able to accommodate frequent potty breaks, feeding schedules, medication needs, and plenty of companionship. I love keeping dogs active, happy, and engaged while also making sure they have time to relax and feel comfortable. Whether your pup is staying with me or needs walks or drop-in visits, I'll treat them like part of the family and make sure they receive the same love, attention, and care that I give my own dog! My home is a welcoming, dog-friendly environment where your pup will be treated like part of the family! 🐾❤️ I have a spacious yard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, explore, and burn off energy. I also live in a beautiful waterfront neighborhood, which provides wonderful opportunities for scenic walks and even swimming for pups who enjoy the water (with owner permission and close supervision, of course!). I have a friendly, playful rescue dog of my own who absolutely loves meeting new dogs and making furry friends! She enjoys having a playmate, and I always prioritize safe, positive introductions to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Dogs are family in my home, which means they're more than welcome on the furniture for plenty of snuggles and relaxation! I want your pup to feel just as loved and comfortable as they do in their own home. Safety is always my top priority. I always feed dogs separately to prevent food-related conflicts, and I never leave dogs together unattended, regardless of how well they get along. I carefully supervise playtime, respect each dog's individual boundaries, and provide separate spaces when needed. Since I work from home, I'm able to offer plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. For walks and drop-in visits at your home, I make sure to follow your dog's established routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration, and any special instructions. I understand how important consistency is, especially when you're away! My goal is to provide a safe, fun, loving, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care while giving you complete peace of mind! 🐶💕
About: As a dedicated animal lover with a family legacy of operating three successful boarding and grooming kennels in Maryland, I am passionate about providing exceptional animal care. With a decade of experience working at Countryside Kennels in Owings, MD, and Countrysides Pet Resort in Hughesville, MD, I developed a robust foundation in animal care. I then pursued a veterinary career, working for three years at Animal Eye Care. After relocating, I worked at Branches vet in Tifton, GA, and Southside Vet in Moultrie, GA. In 2021, I moved to Sumter, SC, and worked at Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in Lugoff, SC for three years. In addition to my veterinary experience, I operate a side business, At Your Service, offering house cleaning and pet sitting services since 2007. With my expertise in grooming and possession of necessary equipment, I am confident in providing exceptional care for your pets. My eleven-year-old child also shares my passion for animal care! Please consider my services for your pet care needs. Working remotely has given me the opportunity to prioritize Rover as my main source of income, allowing me to be more readily available to assist with pet care needs. I am committed to ensuring your pet's comfort and will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal. I am confident in my ability to assess your pet's behavior and provide a comfortable experience, allowing you to be at ease.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for friends and neighbors for the past 5 years. I absolutely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own! 🐾❤️ Our family homeschools, so there’s almost always someone home. Your dog will be welcomed as part of our family, with plenty of attention, love, and companionship. They’ll rarely have to be home alone 😊 We have a Boston Terrier who is used to having other dogs around and does well sharing her space with them. I keep dogs on a leash when we go outside since we don’t have a fenced-in yard, and I take them out multiple times throughout the day for potty breaks and fresh air. When I need to leave the house, I crate the dogs for their safety and peace of mind. I want every pet staying with us to feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Owings
Amy did a great job taking care of our boy. She went above and beyond during a tornado warning, taking Seamus and sheltering in the basement. She didn’t leave him and head to her own home she stayed with him until the warning lifted. We are grateful for her caring enough to stay. We will call her again in the future.
Ruth came by to help out with our two dogs while we were out of state for the day. While we'd met Ruth and Keith once before, we hadn't used their services prior to now. Our two large dogs - specifically the oldest dog - can be VERY stubborn. Like, "might-feel-like-giving-up-convincing-him-to-get-off-the-couch" kinda stubborn. But both Ruth and Keith seemed convinced they could manage it, and they were RIGHT! Ruth came by to help out that day, and she was AWESOME. Apparently, both dogs were easy to deal with (go figure), and they even gave her a little snuggle time while she was here. We will DEFINITELY be contacting Ruth and Keith again in the future. THANK YOU!!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.
