“Hailey is a fantastic pet sitter! We have used her twice now, and even though our kitty is shy and doesn’t come out, Hailey makes sure she is well taken care of when we’re gone. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality pet care.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren! She was prompt, communicative, and even stopped by before our trip to meet us and the cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly and sent us daily updates with plenty of photos of the cats (and their food!), which we really appreciated while we were away. She also made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It’s clear how much she truly loves animals. We came home to two very happy cats! We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to any family and friends. Thank you, Lauren!”
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 13! I have had multiple dogs (all rescue) in my home that I have fed, bathed, walked, and administered medication. I have been working in dog shelters since 2021, so I am comfortable with all dogs from all backgrounds! I have a pitbull terrier mix, a semi-feral outdoor cat, fish, and two crested geckos! Pet care is something I do every single day, including: feeding, bathing, walking, medication administration, and habitat cleaning! I always meet an animal where they are. I don't want to impose on their personal space or do something to make them scared. I don't expect every animal to be super warm and cuddly, everyone has different needs! I can cater as fancy or as downplayed a routine as you need to make your fur-babies (or non-furry) feel safe!
About: Our family-owned company has been proudly providing professional pet care services for the past three years. With a lifelong passion for animals and personal experience caring for a variety of beloved pets, we treat every animal as part of our family. As my husband and I currently work from home, we have plenty of time to give your dog the attention they deserve. I’ll ensure regular potty breaks and incorporate playtime throughout the day to keep them happy and active! We have a fully fenced 1-acre yard, providing a spacious and safe area for supervised outdoor play. Indoors, pups are free to be part of our day-to-day home life, relaxing on the couch, napping nearby, and spending time with us, so they truly feel at home. If needed, we can use baby gates to create separate areas to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. Pups enjoy plenty of outdoor playtime, both in group settings and one-on-one, creating a fun, enriching, and safe environment for all. Daily Routine: Most of the day will include supervised outdoor playtime in our large, fully fenced yard. We spend much of our time outdoors, creating the perfect environment for pups to have fun, explore, and enjoy our assortment of ropes, tug toys, and tennis balls. During warmer weather, with your permission, we also set up puppy/dog pools and a splash pad for them to cool off and have extra fun. We accommodate dogs with different energy levels by rotating playtimes. High-energy pups can run and play to their hearts’ content, while those who prefer a quieter experience can enjoy exploring the yard or sniffing around in a calmer setting. This approach ensures every dog has a safe and enjoyable experience without feeling overwhelmed. Sleeping Arrangements: Our goal is to keep your pup as comfortable and close to their home routine as possible while ensuring a safe environment. If your dog is uncrated at home you can choose family style, where they will sleep with our pack or we can separate them with baby gates as needed. For crate-trained pups, we set up a crate in the kitchen for a comfortable environment! Time Spent with Your Dog: We’ll be home most of the time, giving your pup plenty of attention and care. On rare occasions, we may step out for an hour or two, but the majority of our time is spent ensuring your dog feels safe, loved, and entertained.
About: I've been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have two dogs and a cat of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to care for their pets when they're away, and I'm often the first person they call when they need a reliable pet sitter. I treat every animal as if they are my own. I just love animals!! I have a very flexible schedule as I just graduated college and am looking for a full time job. I am available throughout the day, any day of the week typically!! When caring for pets in your home, I will follow their normal routines, make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have always had a pet in my house since the day I was born. Mostly dogs, but I have also had other smaller pets. I now have one 12 year old chocolate lab and one 6 year old black lab that I take care of everyday. Because of this I have experience with puppies and older dogs, along with dealing with more than one pet at a time. I currently have school from 10:30-2:15 but I am free anytime before then and after that. I also am available almost every weekend if needed. I have a fenced in yard with a doggy door to get outside and two friendly dogs to keep your pet company. I love to take my pets on walks or just play with them in the house or yard.
About: i’ve been taking care of my neighbors pets when they go on vacation since I was 12 years old, so I am no stranger to all types of dogs and all types of maintenance levels! I have one dog of my own who is just under two years and I’ve been fully involved in her training and have lots of experience with puppies! I currently work part-time and have so much free time so pet care fits perfectly in my weekly schedule and I’m extremely flexible! All three of my cats practically own my house, so I am no stranger to high maintenance animals! Feel free to give me the longest list of instructions with no fear!
About: Hello, I'm Erin, a wife, mom, and proud pet owner in Point of Rocks, MD! I grew up with a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and rabbits. I currently have two rescue cats, Baby and George, and two birds, who are the joys of our family. I grew up petsitting for neighbors, and I have done a lot of volunteer work with the Humane Society. I also worked at Petsmart in college helping take care of pets for the groomers. One of the best jobs I've ever had! I love animals and will provide that love and care to your pets. No more worrying about your pets while you work or go on vacation! I'm semi-retired from my old job and I am currently available most days and times! I am very flexible and will let you know well in advance when I'll be unavailable. I will play with, feed, walk, and provide companionship for your pet in your home! I can currently take care of small dogs in my home as well.
“Thank you Samanthat for taking good care of my Ronnie. He adores you and l’m sure he will never forget you, you are a real professional wvery step of the way. I wish you all the best Maria Elena Keningale.”
“Erin is fabulous! She loves animals and my two bengal cats took to her right away. She goes the extra mile to make sure they get whatever they need. I could enjoy our trip knowing Erin was taking care of our boys. Thanks Erin!”
“Christina is an awesome pet walker / sitter! She’s knowledgeable and makes sure she’s aware of any training that is an issue with your animal. We have a puppy that we needed walked in the middle of the day while we’re working. We needed a walker who was willing to get him some good exercise not just a leisurely walk. She’s also watched our puppy for an event we had a couple of hours offsite. She’s so good with our dog and we highly recommend her.”
“Thank you so much for your help tonight and letting me have a night out. I will definitely use your services in the future! Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of my puppy! :)”
“Sheila was fantastic, taking wonderful care of our sweet dogs while we went away to visit family. She arrived promptly and shared photos of each visit so we knew that they were happy and safe! We received a few packages while away and she brought even a really heavy one inside for us!!”
“Shannon was great! We had her drop in to check in on the dogs while we traveled back from out of town. The pups were tired when we got home so we know they played outside with Shannon. She sent us photos of them and let us know that they used the bathroom while outside. Thanks again Shannon!!”
About: I currently work as a caretaker at a dog daycare center, where I care for dogs with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and play styles every day. Whether your dog is super energetic, anxious, older, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I’m more than comfortable adapting to their needs. I’ve also worked as a farmhand, helping feed and care for animals like chickens and other livestock. I’ve also been around animals my whole life and currently care for a cat, an elderly black lab, and a young hound puppy. I’m a college student hoping to earn extra cash doing something I genuinely love! I treat every animal like one of my best friends and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Weekdays: Available after 1:30 PM for walks, drop-ins, and pet care. Weekends: Usually fully available for walks, house sitting, overnight stays, and extended care. I’m a Dog Daycare worker during the weekdays, so my services may be limited to the afternoon + evenings from Monday-Friday. With dogs, I’m very patient and comfortable with all personalities, including high-energy, excitable, or anxious dogs. I focus on calm and respectful handling and try to help very anxious dogs feel safe by giving them space, approaching slowly, and using gentle reassurance like calm voice and light petting on their side when appropriate. I pay attention to body language and always aim to build trust rather than pressure them into an interaction. If a dog is acting out, I redirect their attention and follow any training or behavior instructions provided by the owner. With cats, I’m used to reading their behavior and giving them the space or attention they want. I understand that many cats are super independent and are protective about their space, but I also enjoy working with affectionate, social cats. I have experience caring for kittens, including feeding and basic hands-on care, as well as senior cats who may need routine medication or any extra attention.
About: Ive taken care of dogs since I was younger. Most recently it’s just been me and my girl Jayde. I absolutely love animals. I have senior care for dogs, i’m able to do baths, brushing coat, walks, play dates. I’m currently working part time and looking for a little something extra to do during the week. Morning and afternoons work great for me for drop ins and walks. I will be able to keep your fur babies company while you are busy during the day. I love being outdoors and walking my dog and she loves it too.
About: My whole life we had cats and dogs. I have house sat for neighbors and friends with pets since I was ten years old. I currently own a rabbit. I have also cared for all kinds of rodents, fish, and reptiles. I have trained puppies and kittens and a bunny. I also cared for my older dachshund and gave him shots and necessary medications. I work part time teaching yoga throughout the week and have lots of availability. I only have custody of my kids every other week making my week without them a great time for extra hours and house sitting. I keep pets from being hungry, thirsty, or bored. I keep pets nicely groomed and their areas and things nicely cleaned. I offer direct focus and affection. I can walk or run with dogs. I love doing yoga on the floor and watching cats or my rabbit climb all over me and get affection.
“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Point of Rocks
Jennifer did 3 drop in visits a day for my two dogs. She was wonderful with them! The dogs really liked her during our meet and greet and continued to look forward to her visits from the pictures she provided during the visits. I felt that the dogs were well cared for and was very pleased. Jennifer came by as expected each day. I would definitely use Jennifer again for her dependability and for her expert and loving care of my fur babies.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Point of Rocks stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Point of Rocks 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Point of Rocks with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
