“Chris was great with our pup Lebowski. He always came on time and was really attentive. He was great about providing photos and updates from his visits. Very communicative which was really appreciated.”
“Ashley is very caring and dependable. Even though I was further out than she normally serves, she was willing to take care of my sweet girl until I was able to find someone who lived closer to me, and was able to meet my needs. I appreciate her empathy and caring attitude. I hope Rover is aware of what an asset they have in Ashley. Thank you again, Ashley.”
“Fennel took such good care of my Luffy while I had night classes. They went above and beyond even walking him longer when the weather is nice. I hope we get the opportunity to use their services again! Thank you Fennel!”
“Jennie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in every way and treated my dog, Max, like he was her own. From the very first walk, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about him. She sent me updates, gave Max lots of love and attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Max came back from his walks full of tail wags and smiles! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. I couldn’t recommend Jennie more—she’s the best!”
“Sabine was great with our 4 dogs! She was always on time. She sent pictures of the dogs. They were happy to see her. She gave two dogs medicine. She made sure the dogs were comfortable and happy.”
“Our dogs are more shy and take time to get used to people. James is great with animals. He has a neutral posture and patience that made our dogs very comfortable. James sent great updates of his visits and we will definitely be booking again. Thank you James”
“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!”
“Haley was a fabulous sitter for our kitty! She was attentive to details, communicative, and loving of our little guy. We are for sure going to be using her for all of our future needs.”
About: While you are away, let your dogs enjoy a pupcation! My wife and I have been caring and training dogs for 10+ years. We have a fenced yard with a lake just beyond that. We currently have 2 friendly dogs who love to play. We can guarantee your dog will have an awesome time! We will train your dog as well if you would like. Dogs will get walked every day and plenty of play time. In this house hold, dogs are part of the family! Able to adapt and provide whatever care you require for your dog. I work 6am - 2pm and my wife works at a hospital over night. So there is always someone home to look after the dogs. If you want, we can take the dog out to the lake. We take ours out there all the time, it is shallow. But if you don't want them to, they don't need to. Our yard is fully fenced and cut off from the pond. Both my wife and I work, but she works night and I work days. So at all times we have someone home watching the pups. We treat your dog just like they were our own. We give them all the love, attention and care that they need. Your dog will gets plenty of play time, cuddles and care.
“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!!”
“Stephanie is absolutely wonderful with Ollie! She always does such a great job taking care of him and, just as importantly, giving him lots of love and attention while I’m away. Ollie genuinely loves her visits and all the cuddles he gets from her. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone he knows, trusts, and is happy to see. I always come home to a happy, relaxed boy, which means everything to me. I’m so grateful to have Stephanie as Ollie’s regular sitter and would highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Ashley met me outside. She was very professional and calm with our little dog who is not socialized and is very nippy and skittish. She did a very good job handling her thank you very much.”
“Alyssa is so kind and quickly became one of Oliver's favorite people! She's responsive and communicative and I never had any concerns or worries for Oliver's care while she was with him.”
“Michelle was amazing! We can’t thank her enough. We had to find a pet sitter last minute before leaving on our trip. She really put our minds at ease with her descriptive feedback on her drop in visits and not to mention the pictures she sent. Our cat is very shy and doesn’t come out for strangers but by the second visit he came out each time Michelle dropped in to check on him which really warmed our hearts. She is the best!”
“Gabriella did a great job. Was on time and very attentive to Hanna and gave her lots of playtime and snuggles. So happy with her service and care of our dog. Thanks so much”
“Victoria was incredible. She kept us so well informed on how our three dogs were doing while she was caring for them. Very detail-oriented and very hands on with our kids. Would recommend her to anyone.”
About: Hi, I’m Kelly! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet mom who understands that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a little extra attention during a drop-in visit, or some calm companionship while you’re away, I’m here to provide reliable and loving care. I’m a swim trainer at the Canine Fitness Center in Crownsville, where I have the opportunity to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I have extensive experience caring for elderly dogs, injured dogs needing extra patience and attention, young puppies learning the ropes, and active dogs who are simply there to have fun and stay healthy. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual needs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. At home, I have my own furry crew: my 5-year-old Labrador Retriever, Scorchy Paws, and my two cats, Pete (11) and Tommy (10). They’ve taught me that every pet has their own quirks, routines, and ways of showing love. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll treat your animals with the same care, patience, and affection that I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending my time around animals and creating a schedule that allows me to give them the attention they deserve. I’m currently working part time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and spending quality time with pets in my care. I’m typically available Sundays and Mondays, along with one additional weekday that varies depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their needs and their pet’s routine. Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday check-in, playtime, feeding routines, or simply providing companionship while you’re away, I love being able to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to help with meals, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and giving them the attention they need while you’re away. For walks, I’ll make sure they get exercise, enrichment, and a chance to enjoy some time outside. I’ll always take the time to learn your pet’s personality, habits, and any specific care instructions you have. I know pets feel most comfortable when their routine stays familiar, so my goal is to provide dependable care while giving you peace of mind that they’re being looked after.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Severn is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Severn
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!
Sara took excellent care of our cat! I would highly recommend her. She was prompt, professional, and communicative. We really enjoyed her attention to detail in writing the daily notes & in the photos she shared. We missed our fur baby but her personal notes made it easier knowing she was being well taken care of. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.
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!

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .

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.

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.
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 .
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.
