About: Mike's first job was caring for his neighbors' pets. Mike has had pets since he was 10, and travelled around the world with his dogs and cats during his military career and regional sales role. Roscoe, Higgins, and Freyja are living the dream in the Pacific Northwest with frequent road (work) trips and cross-country visits to the family in Indiana and Massachusetts. Let me know if we can help you with your fur babies. Mike works from home and is an early riser. While the coffee is brewing, all the animals are waking up with bathroom breaks and breakfast. Mike walks Roscoe after breakfast and dinner. Since Roscoe is a senior, we frequently split the two meals into snacks and shorter walks. When the cats are interested, they climb into the backpacks and go see the world with us. I pay attention to the animals' behavior and routines. Consistency in feeding and bathroom breaks has made my pets very comfortable with my work and social routines. I have the flexibility to meet your routines and maintain the consistency you expect with your family while away from home. I recognize when it's time to stop playing, reduce the mileage, or go to the vet.
“Jalen was truly wonderful. I booked him for a quick stop in/feeding and then a few days staying overnight in our house during the July 4th holiday weekend with my dog and cat. He took the time to come visit us prior to watching my animals to meet and greet, which definitely calmed my nerves having a new person come in the house. He kept us continuously up to date with pictures and any questions he had, he even watered my plants in this heat wave! If you are in need of pet sitting, I highly recommend Jalen!”
“Doggies were so happy when we came home and looked so well taken care of. Home was left as if no one was even here. Extremely happy and satisfied with how everything went! Thank you again!”
“She is always amazing with my animals! I have rebooked with her many times and she never disappoints! She makes sure I am updated with pictures and how they are! I will always refer her to friends!”
“upon my return, I noticed how very comfortable my puppy was with Leighanne. That is of utmost importance to me. Additionally my home was left superbly clean. Most thankful.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs through pet ownership and dog sitting and really enjoy having them around. I have a fenced yard and two small dogs at home. I send daily updates with photos and videos and follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible. We keep our home clean and wash beddings and covers between stays to help provide a comfortable environment for all dogs. I only take small dogs since I have two small dogs of my own, and that’s what works best in our home. It keeps things calm and safe for everyone. I work morning shifts on weekdays, so dogs get potty breaks before work and plenty of playtime, walks, and attention when I get home. On weekends, we’re usually home and spend lots of time with our guests. If the weather cooperates and your dog enjoys walks, we’re happy to take them to nearby parks and outdoor areas. We’re happy to follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. We know every dog is different and want them to feel comfortable while they’re with us. Pets stay in a supervised home with a fenced yard and two small dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions, and I always supervise dogs during playtime and yard time. I also send regular photo and video updates so owners can stay connected and feel at ease during their pet’s stay.
“Can not express how much care & love Emma provided for our babies and our home. We were so anxious about having someone watch our home & pups but Emma put our minds at ease and loved in them as her own. Definitely having her watch them when go on vacations!!”
“Jupiter decided to give our sitter Amanda a bit of a scare, but she handled it all right and took good care of our old man. I think Jupiter enjoyed making a new cuddle buddy. 😊”
“JaNasia is incredibly kind, patient, and responsible. She was able to handle our small zoo without issue and was always responsive and easy to reach. Will definitely be reaching out to book with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and am very comfortable caring for pets of all ages and temperaments. I currently have a senior dog of my own, so I’m especially attentive to routine, patience, and reading body language. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules, administering basic medications, crate routines, and giving pets the attention they need while you’re away. I understand how important consistency and safety are, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I work remotely and have the capacity to be available whenever needed, including those that need multiple walks, medications or play time throughout the day. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible — same feeding times, walk schedule, and familiar environment. I always double-check doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses before and after walks, and I’m attentive to surroundings while outside. I treat your home with respect and leave everything as I found it. For drop-ins and walks, I focus on safety, patience, and clear communication. I’ll send updates and photos so you know your pet is comfortable and cared for. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Alexandra was exceptional! She was willing to take on a 14 week old puppy that we have only had for 4 days. She was so great with the baby, and both older dogs. She was diligent with a puppy who is still learning potty training, and manners. The puppy did not have a single accident while Alexandra was here. Would absolutely book again when we have a need.”
“Jennifer was great with our high energy dog. She walked her beyond expectation and kept her company during the nights. She communicated every day while we were away, sending us pictures and screenshots of my dog’s workout in the Tractive GPS app we shared with Jennifer.”
About: I have been a dog owner for 10 years! I also have owned cats and ferrets in the past! I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to seniors. I currently live in the Virginia Beach area but live and go to school at William and Mary where I have pets I care for regularly! I do work about 20 hours a week at my regular job but typically do not work until later in the afternoon. When I have taken care of pets in the past, I found it to be very easy to fit it in to my schedule. I will treat and respect your space like it is my own space. I will be sure to care for your pets as if they are my own.
About: I have been surrounded by all sorts of pets since childhood - from dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and fish! There isn’t an animal that I don’t love. I am a pet parent myself to 3 incredible dogs, including a pit bull, Saint Bernard, and a German Wirehaired Pointer. I have experience with specific breeds of dogs who have very specific needs and love to participate in their training! Pets are family to me and I would love to make sure your family is well taken care of, always! I am currently transitioning from full time to part time work so I will have even more time to play and care for your pets! I work 9 am until 5:30 pm on the days that I do work so I am able to maintain a routine schedule for your animals if that is what they need! I have experience caring for multiple dogs at a time, especially dealing with different personalities, training needs, play styles, and temperaments. I am able to gauge any situation to ensure safety is the top priority.
“Brittany is awesome. She takes such great care of our dogs. They are comfy, relaxed and well cared for. We feel so lucky to have found someone who cares about our dogs as much as we do. Brittany sits for our dogs in our home. She also treats our home with care. She is a great person and highly recommend her for your fur babies.”
“I can't say enough good things about Steven. I was a little worried about finding someone who could watch my dog. He's a bigger dog with lots of energy but when Steven first came over, Mowgli loved him. We played in the backyard and we got to talk about what Mowgli needed while I was away. He asked a lot of great questions and really made me feel at ease. He also took great care around my house. He will be the first person I reach out to when I need someone to watch Mowgli. Thank you again Steven!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 8 years. I have experience in walking, feeding, and play time. I also have dogs of my own and have my whole life. I have a lot of flexibility this summer, as I’m on break (I’m a school teacher). I can do the following: mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I have 2 small dogs myself who get along with other dogs. I also have a huge backyard that’s fenced in for them to run around.
About: I’ve had experience watching dogs for my entire life. I know how to give medicine, including injections, to dogs and cats. I am also certified in first aid and have completed a “Stop the Bleed” course. I’m available most days with a few days notice. I am able to come over and walk your dogs or just spend time with your pets. I can easily come to you and do whatever is needed. Walks, feedings, etc. I am very attentive and love to play with your pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Princess Anne
Melissa is fantastic! She took great care of our kitties and sent updates and pictures while we were away. One of our cats is shy around strangers and Melissa made sure to bring her food closer to her hiding spot to make her more comfortable. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our babies were well cared for.
Leila took such wonderful care of both my dog Matteo and my cat Diesel while I was away. Matteo immediately loved her, and she made sure he got plenty of attention and exercise. What really impressed me, though, was how she connected with Diesel. He’s extremely shy and almost never comes out when new people are around—but somehow Leila won him over! By the end of the visit, he was not only comfortable but eating right out of her hand. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing both of my pets were happy, safe, and cared for like family. Leila sent thoughtful updates and photos, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter. We feel lucky to have found her!
I don’t think I can say enough good things about Ashley. She followed every bit of our babies’ routine so they felt comfortable, was so communicative to help soothe our stress of leaving them, and is just an overall kind and amazing person. We are so grateful to have found her and cannot recommend Ashley enough!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Princess Anne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Princess Anne on Rover is $38.85 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 1,129 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Princess Anne. 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 Princess Anne 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 Princess Anne 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 Princess Anne 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 Princess Anne. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
