“Madison is truly a godsend! She's exceptionally punctual and always keeps the lines of communication open. Our pup absolutely adores her! We are incredibly grateful for her services!”
“Madison did a great job! Our cats are shy and because she stayed at the house they got more comfortable with her. She fed fish and misted the snake cage, too. Definitely recommend!”
“Oh we were nervous having a pet sitter for the first time! Colleen met our pets beforehand. One of our dogs is unpredictable. Colleen did not make her nervous and things went well! Colleen went over and beyond with texts each visit and pics almost every visit! We cannot recommend her highly enough! Can we give more than 5 stars?”
“Ida has always been incredible with my dogs! This is my second time having her watch my pups and I SO appreciate the peace of mind knowing my girls are taken care of when I’m away.”
“Loved her so much! Will def be rebooking for all needs, my dogs were super happy and comfortable and she was great at sending updates and photos as well as treating them like her own”
“Simon was so amazing and took care of our fur babies like they were his own. It’s hard for us to trust people with our pups, but we felt so at ease with the updates during the day and end of day recaps too. They loved him so much and even our cats quickly warmed up to him too (they’re selective). Already booked Simon again and would highly suggest him to anyone else ☺️”
“Amazing experience! Jadyn was a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures. She was prompt, respectful and I could tell my Louie loved her. I will not hesitate to use Jadyn again!”
“Arianna was wonderful, and Piper seemed to really warm up to her and enjoy herself while we were gone. We're thankful for the communication and that the house was left clean after her stay. We will look forward to hiring Arianna again in the future!”
“Mackenzie is amazing! Our furbabies loved her more than we did! She took excellent care of them and loved on them while we were away. She sent several pictures and videos that warmed our hearts. We will definately be hiring her again!”
“Abbey did an excellent job. She was very patient with Atlas. He was very anxious around a new person and Abbey was great with him. I would definitely recommend Abbey and will ask for her the next time i have to go out of time”

About: With over 5 years of hands on experience in pet sitting, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and small mammals. My services go beyond basic feeding and whatever needs. I schedule my day around the needs of the pets I care for, whether that means early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening feedings and playtime. I carefully plan my week to ensure I can give each pet individual needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize trust, safety, and routine. I start by reviewing any care instructions provided feeding schedules, medication, behavior notes, and emergency contacts so I can follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible.
“We and our four dogs all agree that Brittany is awesome. She bonded with them all very quickly, even our 95 pound Doberman. Our dogs’ personalities and inter-pack squabble sometimes pose challenges. But Brittany had no problems with them. We provided very detailed written instructions about the house and dogs, including the administration of medicine to one dog twice a day, and she followed those instructions to the letter. She was diligent about the security of our home, and kept it clean despite the amount of dog hair that our four dogs generate each day. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
About: I have provided premium, hands-on animal care since childhood. My extensive background ranges from basic dog walking and overnight boarding to specialized veterinary support, including administering clinical vaccinations, handling pet transportation, and assisting breeders with canine whelping and newborn care protocols.

“Can’t say enough great things about Victoria. From the moment she met our dogs it was clear she cares a lot for dogs of all temperaments and can form an instant connection with them. We deeply appreciated the updates throughout our time away from home. Highly recommend!”
About: Growing up with large, high-energy dogs has given me plenty of experience providing the exercise, structure, and care they need to stay happy and healthy. I'm comfortable handling energetic dogs on walks, runs, and play sessions while making sure they stay safe and engaged. I understand that active breeds need both physical activity and attention, and I enjoy keeping up with their energy. i have also cared for senior dogs who require patience and support. Whether it is helping them up and down stairs, carrying them when needed, or adjusting their exercise to match their abilities. I am committed to making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I believe every dog deserves care that is tailored to their individual needs, whether they are energetic puppies or a senior dog who needs a little help. I am active, dependable, and comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in good hands. I am currently a student, so early mornings or afternoons are the best times for me to play with your pups. I am also available all weekend. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make it my priority to keep their routine as normal as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. During walks, I pay close attention to each dog's energy level, behavior, and surroundings to ensure they stay safe and have an enjoyable experience. I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise for their age and ability. In a client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I will follow any feeding schedule, medication instructions, or specific care requests. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive care and regular updates so owners have peace of mind while they are away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rock Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Rock Creek on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 156 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rock Creek. 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 Rock Creek 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 Rock Creek 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 Rock Creek 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.

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.
