“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”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 11 years old! They’ve ranged from dogs to cats to turtles to birds and more! I’ve loved every second of it and I would be honored to care for you fur baby, too! I’m currently working remotely with great flexibility so I’m able to work around whatever you need! It gives me the ability to care for pets on your schedule! I love to learn what a typical day for your pet looks like so I can adapt to their needs! Some pets need playtime to keep them happy and engaged and some pets need a calm environment to relax in - wherever your pet falls, I’ll be ready to accommodate!
“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.”
About: I’ve been a lifelong pet owner and have always had a genuine love for animals. I’ve cared for my mother’s and sister’s dogs, as well as my neighbor’s cat, giving me experience with different personalities and care routines. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important they are to their families. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior pet, or a shy cat, I’m committed to providing patient, reliable, and loving care. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide attentive care and accommodate your pet’s routine. I do train mixed martial arts in the evenings, but I have plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and quality time with your best friend. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also take pride in keeping their environment clean, respecting your home, and providing regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for your pet in the place they know best.
About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and being able to take care of them and get to know them. I had my first pet, a hamster (Snowflake) when I was about 8 years old and after him an old family friend gave me and my family her old dog Nula a beautiful little Yorkie and after her I had a Maltese named snowball for a while who was very sweet. Now I have two dogs, a Multipoo named Henry and Rhodesian Ridgeback named Okoye they are very playful and love getting to know new people and new dogs. I also have a love for cats and have cat sat a couple of times for my friends. I also enjoy walking so having a furry friend to walk along side me is always a joy! I am currently going to school part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your furry family members, pups and kitties alike. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 5pm. I have a fenced in yard and two dog friends to keep your dog or kitty company. I also have a gate inside my house so we can also keep them separate if they want some alone time from each other. If you would like for me to come sit for your fur babies at your home I also offer that service as well and will happily and diligently follow the rules and guidelines that pertain to your furry baby.
About: I have about 8 years of experience watching family dogs, and I’ve had my own dogs for almost 10 years. I’m very comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently a student at Morgan State University, but I have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 12 PM. I’m not available Tuesdays or Thursdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m available all day. I always make sure pets are cared for in a safe and calm environment. I have two friendly dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, attention, and supervision. I can follow any instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure.
“Tiffany checked in our both of our cats while we were away on our honeymoon and went above and beyond for us! We were so thankful she was so attentive to their needs and was able to give us peace of mind while we were away.”
About: I have 2 cattos, Poppy and Percy. I've grown up with a dog and plenty of other critters, guinea pigs, gerbils, fish and turtles. I'm a professional photographer, and my kitties are my main subjects. I am comfortable watching people furry babies and giving them the attention they want. I've spent my weekends watching my sisters 3 doggos when I lived closer to her. I'm currently working part time and my schedule is flexible during the week. I will have weekend availability for pet visits. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I like to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tabitha took great care of my needy and noisy older cat with separation anxiety. It’s great to know I can leave her in experienced hands. Would love to book again if she’ll have us!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover living in Severn with my two spoiled cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you're away. I have hands-on experience caring for cats and love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'm happy to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. For cats, I understand the importance of respecting their routines, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My current work schedule has me in the office 7am - 3:30pm. I'm available Monday - Friday anytime after 4pm, and am available overnight. Saturdays, Sundays & holidays are flexible! I can easily keep your dog separate from my two cats if needed. There is a (unfenced) yard that backs into the woods. My house is tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks, perfect to walk your pup.
“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.”
“Jodie is wonderful!! From her initial pet meet-and-greet, to her check-ins while you’re gone, and her follow through after you return- everything is perfect! Thank you, Jodie, for going out of your way to make my fur child so happy while I’m gone! Jodie deserves more than 5 stars!”
“Gabriella 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. We received photos of Penny—which made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Gabriella to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. 😻🐾”
“We were looking for someone to watch after our senior dog when we are away on trips and luckily found Olivia on Rover! She took great care of him on our first booking and we already have additional dates confirmed. It’s a great relief knowing that we are leaving him in great hands while we are away”
“Faith is so wonderful with my dogs. She walked them to the trail all the time which is their favorite place to walk. She even carried a bottle water for the dogs when the weather was very hot. I highly recommend Faith to other dogs owners.”
About: I’ve taken care of various animals. I’ve been specializing in dogs for 6 years. I have my own fur baby named Neo. He’s a 5 year old chihuahua mix who’s always super friendly and welcoming. Neo makes a great play mate so your dog will never be lonely. My husband Jordan and our daughter also love to help out with providing love and support to your fur babies. It’s a family affair. I’ll never be away from your fur baby for long. In case I leave, your dog will be crated. No more than 4 to 6 hours. I have an open yard with plenty of space for your baby to burn some energy. Plenty of toys and extra beds. I’m very attentive and nurturing with my dog so yours will get the same energy.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Severn
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Severn stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
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 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.
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.

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 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.
