“This was the second time we have used Meaudre' for pet sitting in Royal Oak, Md. She was amazing again! When we got home, after three days, the animals were like "Oh it's you, so where is our other Mommy who chills with us?" She is prompt, compassionate, follows directions and the animals LOVE her.”
About: I've been pet sitting for many years and I have experience in many different ages, breeds, energy levels, etc. I've always been naturally drawn to dogs and vice versa. I'm an active college student looking for some pups to take along on my daily walks and runs, but I can also provide regular care like visits throughout the day for those with long work days and out of town trips :) I am a college student finishing up my Junior year in May, leaving me with plenty of free time in the summer. I work part-time as a personal trainer so I have a flexible schedule that is under my control. I am often available on short notice :) I have one small dog (my childhood dog that I stole when I went off to college) that becomes best friends with every dog she meets, but she stays with my parents in Ocean City when needed. I've stayed in many client's homes before and I always enjoy the down time with the pup(s).
“Julie was absolutely incredible watching my dog over the weekend. She continuously updated me and sent pictures, and she was able to pivot, accommodating any changes I needed. Julie also provided me feedback on how my dog did and offered suggestions to help with his puppy behavior. I cannot express how great she was and I hope to use her again in the future!”
About: Hi, I'm Caroline! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I've had experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, chickens, and other small animals, and I've been pet sitting and dog walking for the past four years. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I'm dependable, punctual, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I'm happy to provide the care that's best for them. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I always communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and make safety my top priority. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals with different energy levels and personalities. I'm comfortable administering basic medications if needed, reinforcing routines, and making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve while you're away. I also love sending photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and providing them with the same love and care I'd want for my own pets! I currently work part time as a server, but with a minimum two weeks notice I can work my schedule around your animals needs to give them the best care possible. Though, I can usually work with shorter notice, feel free to reach out even same day and I will try my best to accommodate! Additionally, personal safety is a top priority for me, and I do require a meet up before I will book with you. That way we both feel comfortable!

I’m currently working on a volunteer basis so I have plenty of free time to spend with your pets. They will receive my undivided attention and care. I am flexible and understanding. Before I meet with your pet, I’d like to have a discussion about their routine, personality and training so I can best meet your family’s needs.
About: I’m an experience, dog owner and true animal lover, who takes pride in providing attentive and loving care. I currently have a 100 pound German Shepherd, who I personally potty trained and taught commands like sit, lay down, wait and handshake. Through this I developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, patience and consistency. I’ve also cared for and walked dogs for friends and family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and I treat every animal like they’re my own. In my free time I also volunteer at a local Humane Society where I walk and spend time with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am comfortable handling different energy levels and personalities. As a student working part-time, I have a flexible and well managed scheduled that allows me to fit pet care throughout my day. I’m available most days and happy to work with owners to find times that fit their needs. I provide attentive personalized care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I will follow your pets usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks playtime, and any specific instructions you provide.

“We were so happy to have Marcus stay with our pups while we were away. And his willingness to be flexible was much appreciated when the airline changed our travel plans for us Dogs were happy. We were happy. We’d welcome Marcus back in a heartbeat!”
About: I'm very patient, having owned both cats and dogs throughout my lifetime. Have dealt with both from the puppy/kitten stage through old age/end of life. I am semi-retired and available for a wide range of time that can satisfy any work schedule or vacation plans from clients. I enjoy going to the gym and taking walks to remain active so I am flexible around any schedule as needed. I am willing to walk, feed, or even stay over night to be with your pet.

About: I provide reliable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a 15 year old Yorkie mix and a 1 year old Yorkie. My experience includes caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, so I understand everything from basic training and routines to giving extra patience and comfort to older animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets active, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and check-ins. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets aren’t left alone for long. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule and give them the time, supervision, and care they need. I create a safe, calm environment by following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise pets. In your home, I respect your space while keeping your pet in their normal routine. I also provide updates and can handle special needs like medications.

“Kim is an absolute delight. She enjoys pet sitting and our puppy loves her visits. At the very first meeting she sat on the floor with our pup and played with her.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Salisbury
I have used Rover several times before, and honestly, I did not have great experiences. I had pretty much decided I would never use it again. Then an emergency trip came up, and with a lot of fear and anxiety, I reached out to Julie. Julie was truly a miracle and an angel sent by God for both me and my dog, Trixie! From the very first conversation, she made me feel comfortable. Once Trixie was with her, she followed her routine even better than I do! Every single day she made sure Trixie got her walks, meals, playtime, attention, and even trips to the park. She didn’t just watch my dog, she genuinely cared for her like her pet! Trixie is a very shy, sensitive, and sometimes fearful dog. She does not trust easily. For the first time ever, I saw her immediately connect with someone outside of our family. She looked happy, relaxed, and completely at peace with Julie♥️ The best part was the constant communication. Julie sent me updates, photos, and videos throughout the day. My phone was practically flooded with happy Trixie pictures and videos, and I loved every single one of them♥️For the first time in my life while traveling, I was completely at ease. I wasn’t worried, stressed, or constantly checking my phone. I knew my girl was safe, loved, and having a wonderful time. When I came home, Trixie was healthy, happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Everything was absolutely perfect. I can say with complete confidence that if I ever need care for Trixie again, I will choose Julie every single time. Finding someone you trust with your dog is rare. Finding someone who treats your dog like family is even rarer! Thank you, Julie. You are truly one of a kind, and I will never be able to thank you enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Salisbury
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Salisbury on Rover is $42.8 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 237 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Salisbury. 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 Salisbury 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 Salisbury 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 Salisbury 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 Salisbury. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
