“Benjamin is tentative, kind, and caring with Maizie. I’ve used rover in the past and it’s safe to say he goes beyond the standard of taking care of your pup.”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”
“Oh, I’m not quite sure where to begin. Owen is such an incredibly sweet, caring and kind young man! We’ve used Rover several times as well as neighbors and friends and family over the years to watch our dogs (we have a 1.5 year old golden doodle, a 7-year-old mini cockapoo, and a 12 yr old miniature boxer) we decided to take a last minute vacation to go see our daughter in North Carolina, which means we were gonna be a good 6 to 7 hours away as well from our dogs, which was nerve-racking and none of our usual people were available. In fact, I couldn’t find anyone available because of the short notice in the five star review arena. I was hesitant to book Owen because the Rover rating had him only like a 2 1/2 star review. But I read the comments and he had two other five star raving reviews and then just one pretty negative rating, but my gut just kept bringing me back to him telling me to give him a chance, so I did. Well you know the saying, “Always trust your gut?” Definitely didn’t fail us with Owen! Our dogs can be pretty intimidating when someone comes up to our dorm. They barrow and sound really ferocious and then they jump all over you be a handful. Owen took right to them and they took right to him! Oh, I forgot to mention the other thing I was nervous about with booking Owen is that he is male. My boxer is not usually a fan of guys whatsoever and he’s super protective if I’m the only one around and not only did he not growl or act standoffishat all towards Owen he seemed like he had known him forever! I honestly wish I could share the photos on here of that same dog Ling with Owen and one of the several photos he sent me. He did every single thing I asked 100% correctly! Which honestly that’s shocking because I leave a full one page document single spaced typed out for people staying at our house watching the dogs and I expect people to forget or missstuff it because it is a lot! Heck my husband and teenage son that live with the dogs full-time don’t remember everything that I want done. Lol Owen didn’t miss a single thing! On top of that, I also have Ringcameras all around the exterior of my home and he played with them and loved on them and they loved on him. In fact I think they even slept with him at night! Lol we got daily check ins from Owen and anything that he noticed was concerning or had questions on he messaged us. And was always super apologetic about disturbing us on vacation. He’s probably nice to a fault Ha! He also washed his bedding in the bedhe stayed in, put our dishes away and some other things which 110,000% is not expected at all! The other thing was shocking is whenever we leave even if family is watching the dogs the dogs will rarely eat and they were so comfortable with him they ate normally! Fortunately with us, we’ve never had any bad experiences with anyone we’ve used on Rover and I would have any of them back again! That being said, there’s just such a loving kind energy that comes off of him that the dogs pick up on so he will be my first call for our next vacation. My husband and I were so impressed with him. We’ve actually thought about reaching out to Rover and seeing if that one negative review could be removed because I get everyone has different experiences, but I just don’t know how there could’ve been such an enormouschange from that review to now is, it’s just not even his character or personality which you will understand if you book him which I highly recommend you do! He should be there with the other five star people, hands-down! So Owen, thank you so very much for loving our babies while we were gone and making us feel so so very comfortable that I don’t have to stress about leaving again! You are a kind soul and I know you had asked me for any tips or suggestions or feedback I can give you for the next time that you can improve on and young man I cannot think of a single thing and that is saying a lot coming from someone like me who is a perfectionist and OCD! We can’t wait to have you over again and I know Jax,Nahla and Montana can’t wait for you to come and stay again also!”
“Dylan was wonderful with our pets! This was our first time leaving our dog so we were a bit nervous but our dog loved him! He took such great care of them and sent picture which we appreciated immensely. Definitely recommend and will be booking again for our next trip.”
“Jamie was so wonderful with our dog which has very special needs. She took great care of her and gave us real peace of mind while we were gone. We’ve already booked Jamie for another upcoming trip!”
“Ryan was by far one of the best house sitters Duke and I have seen. He took the time to really get to know Duke and did everything he could to keep Duke’s routine as normal as possible. He sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, and I could tell Duke was having a great time. Will definitely use Ryan for any of Duke’s needs again!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our German Shepherd and tripod Lab for 5 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Before the stay, she took the time to come meet us and our dogs, and she asked thoughtful questions that showed how much she genuinely cares about animals and wants to provide the best care possible. Throughout our trip, she sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s clear that Sydney truly loves dogs. She was attentive, responsible, communicative, and treated our pups like they were her own. As a recent college graduate, she is incredibly mature, dependable, and professional. We came home to two happy dogs and a clean house. We would not hesitate to book Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Annah and Meara were wonderful duo! They sent us daily photos and updates, which made it so easy to relax while we were away. We could tell our pups felt completely at home with them because when we got back, they barely got off the couch to greet us! They also brought in our deliveries and left the house clean. We’d happily book with them again.”
“Victoria and the family crew that works with her are amazing. In my experience there was clear, prompt communication, and my 2 pages of overbearing micromanaging instructions (can't help it when it comes to my beagles) were followed to the letter. I was really nervous about leaving the beagles alone while my family and I went on a trip. All that nervousness went away as I got frequent updates and pictures of everyone on the crew giving them affectionate attention. Highly recommend!”
About: Professional and educational care for various pets, including puppy training and senior animal support, is provided based on extensive experience with multiple age ranges and animal types like dogs, cats, reptiles, pocket pets, and some fish and birds. In addition to my many year's experience, I previously worked as a Lead Veterinarian Technician for an animal hospital for three years. Regarding my education, I earned a degree in biology with a concentration in animal and plant sciences. I am currently working part time, so ideal weekly work hours can range from 15-28 hours per week. I am flexible from 8:30am-9:00pm daily with the exception of Monday's, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 6pm-8pm due to a college course. Course starts June 23-Aug 17th. A new person coming to take care of your fur baby can be stressful for them, so I will ensure that I pay attention to their body language and let them come to greet me on their terms. On walks, I will keep my head on a swivel for any close by activity and maintain the fur baby on a closer leash for more control during stressful situations and/or head back home if needed. In the pet parent's home, I will check and correct for potential heath risks near the pet (like loose wires). In addition to walks, I would love to play with fur babies so they bond with me in addition to maintaining any routines per pet parent instructions.
“Reed was amazing with our pups, kind, considerate, going above and beyond keeping the pups comfortable and maintaining the house. His calm demeanor kept the pups from stressing out during storms & from missing us. He was also great at giving their meds and spending time with them. Grateful for his time & efforts.”
“Lindsay really helped us out when another sitter canceled on us last minute. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet even though it was late and she was so kind and friendly with our dogs. She sent pictures and updates to give us peace of mind and correctly managed their medications/supplements. We are really grateful for her help!”
“Fennel watched our two very rambunctious puppies for a whole week over the holidays. They were absolutely fantastic and very patient, also did some training while here!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. Animals naturally feel calm around me, and I treat every pet like my own with plenty of play, walks, and affection. I currently work part-time during weekdays and am available for drop-ins and walks around 1 PM in D.C., as well as evenings and nights during weekdays and weekends. Let’s communicate and I’ll do everything in my power to make it work for you and your pet! I treat every pet like family. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and relaxed. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, and I’m happy to send updates and photos while you’re away.
About: I am recently a certified veterinarian assistant who has 10 years experience with dogs and cats. I have done overnights, drop ins to let the dogs out to run and play plus dog walking. I'm currently unemployed and free majority of days, the times I'm available are from 12 PM to 3 AM on most days and I can provide frequent care I have a veterinary assistance certification so I'm trained on how to properly care for dogs and cats while also having 5 pets of my own that I care for daily
About: I have grown up with medium to large sized dogs my whole life. I have experience with very friendly dogs and dogs that cannot play with others as well as puppies to older dogs. I have cared for my own pets and friends while growing up and can be trusted with any task to ensure your pets needs and safety! I can offer dog walking in the mornings (7-9am) or afternoons (4-7pm) during the week or anytime during the weekends. I am available on the weekends to check-in or stay with your animal overnight as well. I can check-in and care for your animal during the day or overnight at clients homes. I will ensure your pet is fed, walked, bathed, played with and let outside for their needs. I am comfortable with any specific instructions from the owners as well (medication that needs to be taken, crate training, etc).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Severna Park
Yvonne took such great care of our very sweet but very energetic! boy -- and our home -- during our recent vacation. She followed our instructions perfectly, reached out with any questions, and made our trip worry-free. She even washed her own sheets and remade the bed before we returned, which was not expected! She returned the day after we had gotten back to retrieve a forgotten item and our dog jumped all over her with excitement to see her back. We look forward to having her dog-sit again!
Raven was so sweet and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. She also helped us out with a pretty last minute pet sitting request. She left our home in the same condition as we left it. Would definitely book again and you should too!
Avery stepped up when we really needed her with only a couple of weeks notice for our honeymoon, and stayed for a full 2 weeks watching our two young goldens, including one that’s still a 8 month old puppy. She did an awesome job with them, was a great communicator, and sent tons of good pictures. Don’t know how we would have been able to enjoy our big trip without knowing they were in good hands with her. She also helped out around the house with cleaning, watering plants, pool maintenance, and even dealing with a repairman on a dryer issue that happened right as we were leaving town. She certainly went above and beyond and we couldn’t recommend her enough!!
Adelyn was amazing! We left our puppy girl at home for a week by herself. Even though I know she loved having the house to herself, she also had so much fun when Adelyn came to visit. Adelyn sent videos, pictures and notes everyday. We would 100% use Adelyn again.
Owen was amazing! He took great care of our two dogs Tasha and Sadie! He was very professional and communicative while we were away allowing us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing our dogs were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking with Owen again!
Tessa was great! She was our first dogsitter for our four year old bernedoodle and we were nervous leaving her for a spring break vacation, but she and Tessa really bonded and had a fun time together. Tessa stayed in our house for 5 nights, was very responsive to texts, and took great care of our dog Bebe, taking her for walks, playing with her, feeding her, and cuddling with her. She also sent some adorable pictures so we knew Bebe was in good hands. We hope to have her dogsit for us again soon! Would definitely recommend her to others looking for a responsible and caring dogsitter.
Jazmin is great! Our furbaby, Einstein, is very comfortable with her! Jazmin is great with our big (pushing 60 lbs) rescue pup. She keeps him calm and happy while we are gone- she is clearly comfortable with large breed dogs. We definitely recommend her - we actually have her booked for future dates. 5 stars!

FAQs for House Sitting - Severna Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Severna Park is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $133 per night. 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 8,051 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Severna Park. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Severna Park walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Severna Park maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Severna Park 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Severna Park. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
