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.
“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”
“Leah did a great job with my cats, even being kind enough to sweep after them after they had made a mess while no one was home. Very appreciative of her time and hard work.”
“Tiffany was very sweet, and beyondf helpful! We got multiple pictures everytime that she stopped by! She communicated with me through every step from booking to her last visit with our animal! She was wonderful!”
“I needed somebody to help me brush my cranky old husky who hates being brushed, and Jenny was great! While I fed Dakota a never-ending stream of treats to distract her, Jenny brushed out a dog-sized pile of fur, undoubtedly saving me hours of vacuuming and picking stray fur out of my food. (husky people know what I mean!) The neighborhood sparrows are now hopping around collecting the escaped fur tumbleweeds to line their nests so I'd say it was a successful drop in visit all around.”
“This was our first time hiring Noor to care for our three dogs, and we had complete peace of mind knowing they were in her hands. From our very first meet-and-greet, it was clear that she was incredibly experienced, which immediately put us at ease. Our fur babies are our children, so finding someone we can truly trust means everything. We have a senior dog with special needs and two energetic female dogs, and Noor was absolutely amazing with all of them. She gave each of them so much love and attention, made sure they were well-fed, and took excellent care of all of their individual needs. We’ve struggled to find a trustworthy dog sitter, but I’m so happy to say we’ve finally found one in Noor. We are beyond grateful for the care and compassion she showed our pups. Thank you so much for everything, Noor—we can’t wait to have you watch them again!”
“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: 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!”
“Clarice did a flawless job taking care of our pets. She sent videos and pictures each day and just showed exceptional care for them. 10/10 recommend Clarice!!!! We will be asking for her again!!”
“Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.”
About: I have skill in working with the smallest of puppies, and the grumpiest of salt and pepper babies, I am great at teaching basic commands to puppies and will patiently work with any dog or cat I get to take care of! I work seasonally so on the weekends between September 30th and November 1st I am only available in the mornings before 2:30, rest of the year I’m completely free! I am a very observant and thoughtful person, your puppy or kitty will be safe with me, I will give just enough structure and fun so your pup will never get bored!
“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.”

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.
