About: From a young age, I have been dedicated to animal care. My family partnered with our local humane society, taking in abused or rehabilitating animals. We nurtured them back to health and found them loving homes. Personally, I have owned numerous dogs, ranging from Dachshunds to German Shepherds, and have experience with various health issues, including seizures, blindness, and hip dysplasia. I have plenty of time to take care of your pets during the day and evening! Weekends tend to be busier if you’re not booking in advance! I offer in-home pet care services. I will let your dog out for bathroom breaks, ensure they have proper food and water, and provide a good play session. I am skilled at handling dogs on a leash and always take great care to watch for cars and other potential hazards. I can also administer any needed medications or fulfill other special needs for each dog's specific circumstance.
About: Hi! I’m Scarlett, a 30-year-old lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I grew up on a farm where caring for animals was part of my everyday life, teaching me early on that every animal has unique needs and deserves patience, compassion, and reliable care. Today, I have six pets of my own: two senior dogs (one 5 pounds and one 90 pounds), two cats, and two ferrets. This has made me very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and mobility needs, and I always tailor my care to each pet. I’m experienced with administering medications, including oral meds and injections, and I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions, special diets, and routines. Whether your pet loves walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. You can expect regular updates and clear communication while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Monday-Fridays: 6:30am-7:30am / 5:30pm-11:00pm Saturday - Sunday full open availability If you have specific times please feel free to ask. I may be able to accommodate I treat all animals like I would my very own. I have great attention to details depends on each one’s unique quirks. If you have a fenced yard I ensure gates are closed. Leashed before doors open for walks. I’ve handled horses so big dogs are not a problem. If your pets get crated I also ensure it’s properly latched. Im also very used to animal body language and feel comfortable around navigating when some animals dont get along in the same household with each other and on what to do
“Lanae did amazing with my two pups! I have an older greyhound and young golden retriever who have the exact opposite personalities haha. She did wonderful with both! She kept me updating throughout the day and sent wonderful pictures to let me know my pups were doing well. I am so grateful for the time she spent with them while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone Loki g for a wonderful dog/house sitter.”
“Diana was great! She did a fantastic job. She kept us informed of how things were going and sent us photos throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and hope to book her again!”
“Karla took amazing care of our dogs once again. She’s punctual, communicative, and kind. Karla respects our space and loves our dogs. She sends awesome photos and goes above and beyond, even bringing in packages. 10/10 wonderful sitter!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Sharpsburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Sharpsburg on Rover is $82.7 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 943 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sharpsburg. 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 Sharpsburg 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 Sharpsburg 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 Sharpsburg 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
