About: I have had my own dogs in my life - for over 35 years, both small ones and large ones. I learned to obedience train my German Shepherds and they were always welcomed wherever we went. Most people said that they would love to come back as my pet. I am currently working part time and have ample time to attend to your dog. I can have a dog overnight in the evenings and most weekends. My home sits on 3 acres with lots of room for your dog to run. Ill take your dog on nice walks. In my home, your dog can roam freely or I can crate your dog if you like.

About: I genuinely love spending time with animals and take pride in making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is part of the family, and I care for them as if they were my own. As someone who is a babysitter and college student home for summer break, I plan my responsibilities carefully to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I prioritize being dependable and responsive for both pets and their owners. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication needs, and household rules. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior and comfort levels to ensure they feel secure and stress-free. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving attentive, loving care while they’re awa
“Louis took care of my pup while we were out of town. He did home drop-ins. He did a meet & greet ahead of time to get to know my pup, his routine, etc. Louis was great!!

I will maintain daily routines with feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and play time. I will uphold safety protocols and will respect your household’s boundaries.
“Jennifer was wonderful! She took great care of Murry, my senior cat. She provided updates and pictures daily, which always eases my anxiety when I'm away. She stayed the full half hour for the drop-in visits, which I really appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to use her again to care for Murry when I'm away.”
About: I have been house & pet sitting since I was a young teenager. I take pride in being responsible and leaving things better than I found them. I am comfortable with all ages of dogs & cats, and I have provided special care to senior dogs who needed home cooked meals & medication. I am comfortable administering various types of medications, or caring for animals with special needs. I work full time during school hours, but I am available in the afternoon, evening, & weekends for dog walks & pet sitting. I will still watch pets during the week if I’m working, and I am willing stay at the owner’s home with planning & discussion. It works very well for me to care for animals in their home.

About: Hello! my name is Vanessa. I have been a dog/pet sitter for over 15 years now. I have experience with animals ranging from dogs (especially), cats, small animals, and horses. I am also a certified groomer, and have been working as a groomer for 12 years now, so I have plenty of safety training as well for handling animals. I absolutely love caring for animals and making them feel safe and comfortable, and I know how important it is to leave your animal in the care of someone you can trust. I currently live on a farm with ability to care for dogs in my home, but I do prefer doing in home overnights or daycare at the client's house, due to my own dogs and horses. I am willing to provide most services including daily care, walking (or running), overnights, etc. I also have experience caring for dogs with special needs and elderly dogs as well. I understand the responsibility that I undertake when I am trusted to take care of another person's pet, and I will always do the absolute most to make sure I am providing the best care possible. Taking care of animals gives me so much joy, and I would love to be able to provide you with a great service! I own my own grooming salon, Pretty Boy Grooming, which is located in my home so I am home most of the time and since I make my own schedule, my scheduling ability is very flexible to be able to provide the best possible care! In my own home, dogs will always be on a leash when outside and separated from my own dogs unless requested by the client, making sure that any potentially hazardous objects are put away (foods, plants, etc.). In the clients home, making sure that the area is secure and following the requests and rules of the client in their home.
About: Hi pet parents, I have lifelong experiences with many types of animals at various life stages: especially comfortable with large breed and high energy dogs, exotics (parrots, rats, reptiles), equines, and livestock. I am a college student with a very open and flexible schedule to be there for the pet as much as the pet parent wants! I can offer house sitting, dog walks, potty breaks, overnight care… I can also get mail, water plants, and other house tasks. I have done farm sitting for 5 years, both pets and livestock, caring for animals and doing farm chores. I am an experienced equestrian and am very comfortable with horses, horse care (feeding, mucking, turning out) and managing senior horses. I have reliable transport and am willing to travel for pet care. Routinely, I travel from school to home and various other farms to provide care to pets and livestock. Growing up with animals, i have had my fair share of bad pet sitting experiences and when I first started sitting, i promised to provide care I would expect for my own pets. I promise to interact with and treat pets as my own and to give each individualized care. I love caring for animals and researching the best ways to provide for any species I am caring for. I also understand the importance of animal behavior and body language when interacting with animals and have a particular love and respect for shy or aggressive pets.

I currently reside in Northern Maryland on a corn farm with my two dogs. My husband works from home and can watch our dogs, so I can attend fully and give your animals full attention/if needed overnight. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I’m currently only pet sitting so your pet will have my full attention! Im also available for overnight stays if needed. I’m fully available on weekends as well. Pets under my watch will always get enough potty breaks and lots of love and attention.

“Lexi is the GREATEST. She took incredible care of our cats while we were away for almost 10 days. Incredible communication and she shows the animals absolute love and attention. If anyone wants the best care Lexi is your choice, there is no one else as good as her.”

“Rowyn was absolutely amazing!! I cannot say enough great things about her and her compassion, professionalism and how fantastic she was with my two almost 17 year old kitties! They require oral medication every day, which can be challenging, and on the first day, one was being difficult and refusing the medication, I had told her she could leave since she had already been there longer than the standard allotted drop-in visit time, but she was determined to make sure they both had their medication and was patient and stayed until they both finally took the medication. She absolutely went above and beyond, and was so attentive, so communicative and sent so many pictures! She always arrived on time, despite my saying the timing was flexible! She is someone we completely trusted with the care of our cats and also felt 100% comfortable coming and going from our house. She also went above and beyond and even did some cleaning so when we got home from vacation, we had nothing to worry about!! I cannot recommend Rowyn more highly! Thank you Rowyn for giving us so much peace of mind while away!! Will absolutely book with Rowyn again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parkton
We are so grateful for Alyssa's availability and flexibility. I asked her at the last minute if she could feed our cats this past Saturday. She quickly responded that she was available and would be happy to do a drop-in visit. In the rush of last-minute wedding planning details for my son's wedding, I realized no one would be here to feed them. Even my back-up person was a wedding guest so I really needed her in a pinch. Once again, we appreciate Alyssa!! And our cats, Misty & Fae appreciate her too! 🐾🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Parkton is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. 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 October 2026, there are 4,460 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Parkton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. 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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Parkton. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
