“Robert had impeccable communication and was flexible with our schedule. We really appreciated the thorough updates and pictures from each drop-in visit. We would definitely use him again!”
“Rowan took such great care of Remi! In her drop ins she would be sure to let him out to potty, feed him, refresh his water as needed and give him some pets/ play time! She also made sure to put on a dog movie in the background for him to listen to since he enjoys background noise when no one is home. Remi definitely enjoyed Rowan’s company, and she was great to work with!”
“Liz took great care of my cat and made sure he did not bother the fish haha. He even sat on Liz’s lap, which he does with very few people. I came home to a happy kitty after my trip”
“JHahna is great with my Marley. She is always on time, communicates well and follows his care instructions to a T. It feels really good to find a trustworthy and reliable sitter. Marley also loves her doggy which is an extra bonus.”
“Best cat sitter ever! Michelle went above and beyond. 1000/10 recommend. Our kitties loved her and they’re typically shy. Michelle was attentive, kind, and punctual. She sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures!”
“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”
About: I have watched all animals from big dogs to small dogs to lizards and bunnies. I love all animals and love to help out even for a small walk and feeding or giving meds. I drive a school bus so I have a big gap in the middle of my day about 5 hrs where I can walk animals or feed them or hang out with them. Also I have some time after work if it is absolutely needed I respect what ever the house rules are and love the pets as my own. I treat them all with love and care as if they were mine and if anything changes I communicate that with the owners well in advance with schedules and changes
About: I’ve been around animals since I was in diapers! My parents even got a puppy the week I was born, so I’ve only known life with the unconditional love of our fur babies. From ages 10-16, I trained dogs with my dad! I’ve trained puppies the basics of potty training, junior dogs their special tricks, and even senior dogs on positive house behavior. I just recently lost my rescue pup, he was 6 when I rescued him and passed at 11. I also grew up with cats from the age of 10, my parents had 5 indoor cats and one outdoor cat. I have a lot of experience with the tricky art of administering various types of medication to dogs and cats, as well as taking care of their physical health and of course their cuddle needs. I have experience caring for senior dogs and senior cats, I’ve got a special place in my heart for our senior babies <3 I just moved to Maryland recently so I’m funemployed! Meaning my schedule is free daily, morning noon or night! I love being around animals so I wouldn’t mind taking your fur baby out for their afternoon walk or just hanging out anytime of the day. I am interested in providing services such as - walks, play times, park visits, or just plain hanging out! My cat and I’s favorite pastime is to sit and watch the birds outside, making that cute little “kekeke” noise they do. My dog and I’s favorite past time was hiking our neighborhood trail - rain or shine! And I’ll treat your fur babies like my own!
About: 5 years of dog care experience, I have a great feel for dogs and their needs. I exercise frequently, so your dog will get plenty of play time. I’m also not shy about the dirty tasks of cleaning up after messes in or out of the house. I try to be generous with treats and toys, but I also like to make dogs earn certain items. I’m also a full-time student, so during nap time I can silently study as your dog gets much needed rest. I’ve always wanted a dog, but my living situation will not allow it, so dog sitting is the next best thing. I look forward to meeting your family and taking care of them as if they were my own.
“Emma was WONDERFUL! I was very nervous about using Rover while we were away and Emma put us right at ease. She updated us every time she visited and our dog loved her. I will definitely be using her services again.”
About: I have provided housesitting services and cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, and other animals for over 10 years for family, friends, and my own pets as well. I'm currently unemployed and available during most weekdays and weekends if necessary, as well as being open to working with your schedule as needed. I listen to the pet owners needs and rules, and any concerns they may have for how to care for their pet and adjust my plans accordingly.
“Lanese was extremely sweet and patient with our very shy elderly kitty. We got great daily updates with a photo. Although our kitty is shy and often difficult to locate, Lanese was sure to make a connection and help her feel loved while pet sitting. I would definitely recommend this compassionate pet sitter!”
About: As someone who lives with and manages a high-energy working breed every day, I know exactly what it takes to keep active pups properly exercised, mentally stimulated, and safe.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
