Caleb was wonderful! He took great care of our dog Sully. He even stopped by the day before to get to know him. Caleb was incredibly attentive, caring, and responsible. Sully was so happy that he did zoomies! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friends. We are looking forward to hiring Caleb again.

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!

About: Working at a Veterinary Hospital before going to college absolutely solidified my love for animals and caring for them! I love learning their unique traits and I can’t wait to bond with your pets! I’m currently a full time student at JMU but I’m looking to add pet sitting into my routine! With warm weather coming up, I know how important it is to find a reliable sitter for vacations! I can’t wait to meet your pets! Caring for your pets in the safety of your home is important to me! Allowing them to show me around and playing with their favorite toys is so exciting!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs for most of my life, and have done some dogsitting and dog walking before. I’ll admit it’s been a bit since I had to focus on school work for my psych degree, but now that I have to wait till fall for grad school, I figured now is the time to help out some furry friends! I’m an animal lover at heart and am not only interested in, but willing to help with any accommodations! Our pets deserve the best after all! :) I only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I have plenty of time for any pet care. I tend to be more of a night owl so I can help cats when they’re more active at night. I tend to work best with detailed instructions. I don’t want to disturb any routine and want the animal to feel as comfortable as possible.

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From laid back seniors to high-energy pups who love to play. I take the time to get to know each dog's unique personality and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care that gives both pets and owners peace of mind. I am very available at the moment. I am currently home from college so I am able to do any type of sitting any day of the week, pretty much all day. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and meals according to their normal schedule. I also take the time to learn each pet's personality and needs, ensuring they get the level of care, companionship, and activity that is best for them.

About: I've been taking care of animals ranging from large dogs, kittens and cats, hamsters, and even goats my entire life, whether its feeding, walking, or even just hanging out with. I'm happy to work with young animals all the way up to seniors and provide any unique care they may need! I am the biggest animal lover and can make sure your pet will feel loved and cared for. I am currently home on summer break and have lots of availability. I occasionally will be away for a long weekend at the beach, but I am available otherwise for quick check ins, overnight stays, or whatever is needed. I have plenty of cat toys, bowls, beds, and space for your pets to make themself comfortable in. I would typically prefer to come to your home for dogs but will be able to accommodate if that is not possible for you!

We couldn't be happier with Breana's care for our home and cat while we were away. She was a fantastic communicator from the start and we never had to wonder how things were going because Breana sent regular photos and updates that gave us total peace of mind. We returned to a spotless house — everything exactly as we left it. It was clear that Breana treated our home with real care and respect. Most importantly, our cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. We'd trust Breana again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring house and pet sitter!

Samm is amazing with our 4 (yes, FOUR) dogs! All members of our furry family are adopted and come from varying backgrounds. Samm is SO patient with each and every one of them, to include our big (115 lb) baby Scooby, who always needs a few minutes to get close to people. Scooby can take a lot of patience when he's getting to know someone and has taken MONTHS to warm up to people in the past (some people he will NEVER get near) - but not Samm! In just a few minutes, Samm had Scooby snuggling with her and even letter her walk him. Totally unheard of! We are so glad to have found Samm to take amazing care of all of the dogs when we're out of town and we know we can trust her to make sure everyone gets lots of time to play and exercise. Plus, knowing that we worry that Scooby might give people trouble, Samm thoughtfully sends us regular updates to reassure us that everything is going great! We cannot ask for more! :)

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!!

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. Having owned multiple cats, including one with thyroid issues requiring daily medication, I’m comfortable providing specialized care when needed. I also grew up helping my mom pet sit for family members’ dogs and cats, giving me years of experience with feeding, playtime, exercise, litter box maintenance, and ensuring pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience with small animals like pet rats from owning them for several years and have cared for guinea pigs in the past. I'm able to give medications orally and topically for small animals. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. I have flexible availability on both weekdays and weekends, with most availability before 11:00 a.m. and after 5:00 p.m. I’m also available for extended visits, overnight stays, and in-home pet sitting, allowing me to provide consistent, reliable care that fits your pet’s routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. For dogs, I provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of companionship. For cats, I handle feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and affection on their terms. I’m experienced in administering oral medications, including pills and liquid medications, as well as topical treatments. I also have experience caring for blind and deaf pets and understand the extra patience and attention they may require. Whether your pet is full of energy and loves interactive play or prefers to relax and simply enjoy having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable and provide the mental stimulation, exercise, or calm companionship they need.

If you’re looking for a great pet/house sitter, Riley is your person. Riley took great care of my pup and fish, checked in daily with me, sent photos and provided daily walks each day. At the end of the stay, Riley summarized Toby’s week, including highlights and household things she did on a sheet of paper. Riley is very reliable and I’ll definitely book her again in the future.

Kerri is the BEST! She stayed at our house for over a week taking care of our dog and cat. Because our dog is large (70lbs) and sometimes anxious/reactive, it can be difficult to find a sitter that is a good fit. Kerri came prepared, asked lots of questions, sent daily updates, and our dog loved her. We will definitely book Kerri again -- highly recommended!

FAQs for House Sitting - Parkton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Parkton on Rover is $63.83 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 2,859 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Parkton. 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 Parkton 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 Parkton 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 Parkton 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
