“Velvet did a great job watching my dog Flynn while I was away for a couple of days. He opened up to her and allowed belly rubs so you know she’s doing something right! Picture, videos and updates shared daily! Definitely recommend her for your pet needs!”

“Emily was great to work with and made our traveling easy, not having to worry about our two dogs. We loved getting pictures of the dogs throughout her stay. Also, her having experience with Australian shepherds was a huge plus because she understood our dogs quirks. She even went above and beyond by coming a couple times ahead of her stay to get to know the dogs, and while we were gone watering our plants, taking in mail, and cleaning before she left. Would 100% book her to watch my dogs again in the future.”

“Palma was a wonderful sitter for our Scottie, Pepper! Pepper immediately befriended Palma when she came to meet us, and we could tell Palma was enjoying playing with Pepper. We felt very comfortable leaving Pepper in her hands. While we were away, Palma was very communicative and sent photos of Pepper for us (which I love because I always miss her). She left our house in pristine condition! I highly recommend Palma.”

“Heather was amazing! Communication was excellent and she was so accommodating when our plans changed. One of my dogs is a senior and she stayed with him which was so sweet considering I gave her the option. Even my cats, who usually aren’t super social, took to her from the first meeting. I would absolutely hire her again and would strongly recommend her to anyone! Above and beyond my expectations!”

About: I have taken care of a wide range of animals my whole life. I was raised by two loving parents who work for the department of environment. I have always been more close with animals and have always done my absolute most to make sure they are taken care of. I have three dogs of my own two large ones and one small one. We also have two cats and some other animals. I cannot wait to meet yours. I’m currently a full time student and part time worker at the mall. I currently tend to two of my animals and have found the time to fit yours in as well. I can be available early in the morning to late at night. I make sure all my animals are in very safe hands and make sure they stay preoccupied. I always make sure to have as much patience as needed and stick to your schedule.

About: I’ve taken care of large and small dogs for the past couple of years. I started with family and friends animals and have recently started watching other peoples animals and I really enjoy it. I’ve walked, bathed, feed and swam with pets. I work part time at a movie theater and have a flexible schedule and can request days off if need be or work in the morning rather than night and vise versa if you need morning care. I Can crate dogs if needed, I won’t feed your pet anything unless okayed by owner first. I live to take pictures of animals so I can provide updates if needed. I enjoy walking and running with animals so if they need a walk outside or a ball thrown around a fenced yard I would be happy to do so.

About: I have been a lifelong animal lover, growing up with both dogs and cats and continuing to adopt and care for them throughout my adult life. Caring for animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my home. I have experience with daily routines, including feeding, walking, administering basic care, and providing consistent companionship. I also had a beloved lovebird growing up, which gave me experience tending to smaller pets with gentleness and attention. What sets me apart is my patience, kindness, and genuine heart for animals. While I do not have formal training experience, I am consistent, attentive, and willing to reinforce basic training practices with calm encouragement. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with safety, affection, and respect at the center of their care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am available most weekdays, especially during school hours, which allows me to provide dependable daytime walks, check-ins, feedings, and companionship. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs and routine. In a client’s home, I maintain their regular schedule for feedings, walks, playtime, and any special care, while keeping the home tidy and respected. If in a client's home, I am willing to water plants, bring in mail, and assist with regular maintenance care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe space with close supervision, consistency, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to help pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Kaitlynn was exceptional! She delivered on the elements we would hope for when caring for our dog. She communicated clearly and timely with relevant updates that gave us piece of mind. She took the time to listen and get to know and understand our anxious and sometimes reactive cattle dog, giving him the physical exercise he needed along with the mental stimulation. She went above and beyond and we would highly recommend Kaitlynn.”

Having Kiera dog sit for our dog was an amazing experience. From the moment I met Kiera, I knew my dog would be loved & well taken care of. She is so thorough & asks questions that didn’t even occur to me. Kiera went above & beyond & I would be honored for her to dog sit for us again!

Kiera is our go-to sitter! We’ve used her multiple times now and it is always such a relief to know our dog is in such great hands. Kiera is warm, communicative, and treats our home with respect. Our dog always has a great time with Kiera.

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 1,062 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Rockville. 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 Rockville 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 Rockville 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 Rockville 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 Rockville. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% 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.
