“Ayanna was great!!! Our puppers adored her! We consider ourselves very picky pawrents and Ayanna did everything we asked her to do. Would definitely recommend her for our future visits!”
“Nicole took amazing care of our senior pups. I usually worry so much when I have to leave them but felt very comfortable that she would take good care of them. She was on time for all of the drop ins we had scheduled, sent us pictures and took good care of my girls. I will definitely use Nicole again and would recommend her to others.”

About: I truly can’t imagine life without paws! Caring for dogs and cats has been a lifelong passion. I take a calm, thoughtful, one-on-one approach to pet care, paying close attention to each pet’s individual routine, personality and comfort level so they feel secure, respected, and genuinely cared for while away from home. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities and believe quality care goes beyond basic supervision. Much of my approach comes from my own experience as a pet parent. I spent 15 wonderful years with my dog, Fawn, and 18 years with my cat, Pepper. They taught me the importance of understanding and caring for each pet as an individual.

“Nicole was absolutely fabulous with our cat, Penny! She was prompt, dependable, and clearly takes great pride in her work. Everything was left clean and tidy, and her consistent communication gave us such peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite parts was receiving the photos and videos of Penny—they made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Nicole genuinely cared about Penny and went above and beyond to make sure she was in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and hardworking pet sitter. We’re so grateful for her! 😻🐾”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Severn
Madeleine was wonderful! She was available at the last minute, very flexible, and had great communication throughout the process. She took excellent care of my dog and made the entire experience stress-free. I really appreciated her responsiveness and willingness to accommodate our needs. I would definitely recommend Madeleine and would happily book with her again!
This is the second time we’ve trusted Alyssa with our sweet little boy and she just keeps amazing us. She treats him exactly like she treats her own pets and she goes above and beyond to make sure he’s a happy pup and that we always know how he’s doing! (And Toby LOVES his visits from Ms Alyssa!)
I hadn’t left Lucy with a dog sitter before. Sara showed up on time, gave Lucy lots of love, made sure she had lots of exercise, fed her, gave her her treats, and even watered my plants! Sara went above and beyond to make sure Lucy felt safe and comfortable. She did a great job and I will definitely ask her to care for Lucy again! Thank you for letting me enjoy my weekend away, knowing Lucy was well cared for.
Christine was incredible! Super professional, asked a lot of questions, and easy to communicate with. She went above and beyond in her drop in visits with our dog, gave updates, and provided great photos. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again
Jusskayy is a sweetheart! She accommodated me on short notice without a prior meet and greet and I am sooo thankful. She asked all the right questions prior to arrival and it was wonderful. Made me think of things I totally forgot to inform her about. She went over, spend time with my pup and left everything just as she got it. She is a definite top 5 on my sitters to use again!
We couldn’t be happier with Sabine’s care for our miniature Goldendoodle. My Indiana is an anxious pup who requires a bit of patience and we were very pleased with all of the effort, communication and pictures that were provided while we were out of town! 10/10 would definitely book with her again!
Whitney was very communicative and prompt. She responded with very short notice to us in a “we need to leave town for a funeral and have nobody to care for our cat and dog” situation. She met with us before leaving to get instructions and meet our pets, and totally removed this as a stressor during our time of need. Very grateful, and highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Severn is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 13,719 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Severn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Severn 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!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Severn with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Severn. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
