Tonya took great care of our dogs and kept me posted every day. She sent the best pictures and they were definitely well cared for. She will be my go to pet sitter from now on.

Katherine was great! She was able to accommodate my last-minute request for in-home sitting. She was fantastic at communication and met my sweet boy's needs. It was wonderful to have someone in my home whom I felt comfortable leaving my babies with. I love how many pictures she sent over the weekend, and I was able to relax and enjoy being out of town with family. I would absolutely recommend her for all of your pet setting needs, and I plan on having her watch my babies again!

Amy was wonderful! She took time to get to know us with a walking meet and greet. She was timely in her communication sending photos of our fur babies. She was very prompt with text messages and updates. She stayed in our home and left everything clean and tidy. I will definitely use her again!

About: Hi, I’m Kiana. I’m energetic, fun, and creative. I love animals and would like to paint them while I’m watching them. I’m a watercolor and acrylic artist and poet. I recently lost a beloved dog of 15 years in our home and life feels a lot emptier without a pet to play with and go on walks. I would be thrilled to meet your pet and give it the love and attention it deserves. During your pet’s stay with me or an overnight visit in your own home, you can expect that I will play with your pets with their favorite toys after taking them out on a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. You can expect at least 3-4 walks, and photo updates from me. When they seem adequately tired, I’ll take out my watercolor paints and do my best to capture them while they are still. You have the option of purchasing anything you like later. Otherwise, it was still time spent having fun. I look forward to meeting your furry companions. I am a self-employed illustrator/graphic designer. I’ll have time for pet-sitting most days or times kf the day and in any weather. I love to walk long distances and can handle dogs with high energy! I have no pets in my home currently, but I do sometimes care for my parents’ two large dogs and my sister’s two weenies when needed. The big dogs are very energetic and active, so I take them for very long walks and sometimes bring them to county parks nearby. The weenies tire out when walking, so I enjoy bringing a wagon with me in case they need a lift. I used to own two cats with my ex, but he owns them now. When I did own cats, I had a good understanding of their dietary needs and mental stimulation needs.

Highly recommend Vicki. Communicated and sent pictures regularly. House was clean and she even put clean sheets on our bed since we were coming in late and tired! I doubt our Zoe even missed us. We hope to use her again this summer if she’ll come back!!

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life and love them. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter in my spare time for years as well in my down time. Now that I have relocated to South Carolina from Massachusetts I am looking to rebuild those relationships with some deserving furry friends. I am available to take your pet for walks, play dates and will board them for you. I have a beautiful, clean and spacious two bedroom apartment and have all the love in the world to shower them with. Please reach out! I am available every day for mornings, afternoon and night visits, walls and boarding! I am also available for last minute check ins late at night. My approach to pet care is rooted in two things: a lifelong love for animals and a professional commitment to reliability. Whether I am hosting a pet in my home or visiting yours, I offer a high-touch, organized service. For boarding, I focus on creating a calm, predictable environment with plenty of exercise and affection. For in-home visits and walking, I leverage my experience in property management to ensure your home is treated with the utmost respect while your pet receives my undivided attention. I am experienced with senior pets, understand the nuances of pet-friendly travel, and am committed to providing the peace of mind that comes with knowing your furry family member—and your home—are in expert hands.

About: Hi, I’m Sandi! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your home and beloved pets in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve spent years rehabilitating and helping stray animals of many different species, along with caring for my own pets, including senior cats with strict medication schedules. Because of that experience, I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your pet requires medications, extra patience, playtime, special feeding instructions, or simply a familiar routine, I take those responsibilities seriously. When caring for your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention to detail that I would expect for my own. I can provide pet feeding, medication administration, litter box maintenance, mail and package collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, home check-ins, and regular updates (with pictures included) so you always know your pets and property are doing well. You’ll be happy to know that I’m often praised for my problem-solving abilities and excellent communication. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely take pride in creating a safe, comfortable environment for both pets and homeowners. I know that trust is everything in this line of work, and I work hard to earn it. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with kindness and your home with respect, I’d love to connect and see how I can help make your life easier! Thanks for reading. Chat soon :) Animal care has been part of my everyday life for years. My flexible schedule allows me to be available during times when many sitters are not, including daytime hours, extended visits, and last-minute care needs when availability permits. Because I spend much of my time working from home and managing my own schedule, I can provide a higher level of attentiveness, communication, and consistency than someone limited to evenings and weekends. This flexibility is especially beneficial for senior pets, pets requiring medication, or animals that thrive with extra companionship and routine. Providing dependable, compassionate care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule. It’s something I intentionally make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Pets are often most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise and enrichment preferences, and any household guidelines provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, water intake, litter box habits, and overall well-being so that I can quickly recognize any changes that may need attention. For cats especially, I understand how important routine and a low-stress environment can be. I maintain a clean and secure environment by keeping food and water areas tidy, cleaning litter boxes regularly, ensuring doors and windows remain secure, and removing any obvious hazards. I also treat every home with the utmost respect and can assist with mail collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, and general home check-ins. Communication is a top priority. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care while they’re away. I never view pet sitting as simply feeding and leaving.. I spend quality time interacting with each pet so they receive companionship, enrichment, and attention in addition to their basic care needs.

Erika went over and beyond for me and my baby. She was extremely attentive, alerted me to a rash that turns badly really fast and now he is on antibiotics. Very thorough, lots of updates and pictures. Could not have had a better person take care of your babies.

Christa was fantastic the entire process of sitting for my senior dog in my home. She responds quickly, asks all of the important questions to ensure she is providing the proper care, then communicates effectively while we were away. She even was able to do a nail trim which is something my very senior dog has refused for nearly a year. What a life saver! I'll definitely be rebooking!

About: I have two dogs 9 & 5 and one kitty. My older pup had a back injury when she was 2, so I’ve dealt with all types of special care for pups who need a bit of assistance as well as administering medications, etc. My animals are my children and I would take care of someone else’s babies as my own! I work full time but typically off by 2pm. I focus on long walks or adventures in the evenings that get my pups worn out leading into the following day while I’m at work. I also have a huge fenced in backyard for them to play in! Bare minimum one walk a day, feeding morning and night, my dogs roam the house while I’m gone but they are trained and older- I can follow instructions easily with preferred schedules(:

FAQs for House Sitting - Rockville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 1,561 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:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.
