“Sydney has been amazing! She has been so patient, communicative, and flexible. One of our dogs takes awhile to warm up to new people, and Sydney has gone above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable. Already booked our next visit!!”
“Taylor did an amazing job with our dog Ellie Mae. Ellie is very afraid of fireworks and thunder. While we were away we had several thunderstorms and Taylor made sure to take extra special care of Ellie. She kept us updated daily with photos of a happy dog. I would highly recommend Taylor to anyone that is using Rover to find an excellent in home dog sitter. We will definitely be using her in our future needs.”
“Susan has house sat for us several times and we are very pleased with her services. She is an excellent communicator and we really appreciate her flexibility. Our Shih Tzu Pumpkin is always well cared for and we have peace of mind while traveling. We will continue to request Susan to house/pet sit as often as possible.”
“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!!”
“Allyson is as absolutely fantastic! From our first meet and great me and my fur baby instantly loved her. She spoiled my baby with love and affection. She kept me updated daily. My house was immaculate upon return. She even washed sheets and put back in bed. Allyson is the best sitter I’ve had in a long time and a keeper! I honestly can’t say enough great things about her!”
“Amanda was great with all 3 of our large breed dogs! She provided frequent updates and our dogs seemed to really feel comfortable with her. We highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, ranging from pitbull mixes to mini schnauzers. I love dogs of all sizes, both for at home stays and just for checking in every few hours for some food, playtime, and company. I also have many years of experience with taking care of cats, whether they are shy and want nothing to do with me, or are very active play friends. I have cleaned up messes and comforted animals during thunderstorms. I have about seven years of experience. I am currently in my final semester of college and only go to class on Mondays and Wednesdays. The rest of my days are free for any and all pet care! I am comfortable staying overnight and checking in with them as many times as I need to throughout the day. I have stayed in client's homes before and have always left it cleaner than they left it. I have followed many doggy diets, including strange requests and many medicinal needs. My main focus is to help the animal be as comfortable as possible while their owner is away.
About: I’ve cared for dogs through every stage of life, from raising puppies to supporting senior dogs with medical needs. My last dog was with me for 15 years and eventually became blind-she was also epileptic, so I’m very comfortable with patience, medication routines, senior care, and providing calm, attentive support to anxious or aging pets. I currently have a well-socialized 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer that I raised from 8 weeks old, so I understand the importance of structure, consistency, exercise, and positive interaction. As a retired military veteran, I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and home full time, which means pets in my care receive a lot of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, safe environment where pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m retired and home full time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, medication support if needed, and lots of supervision throughout the day. Because I don’t have children or a demanding work schedule, I’m able to give pets consistent attention and maintain a calm, low-stress environment. In my home, pets have access to a safe, calm environment with a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, exercise, and potty breaks. I also have a friendly 2-year-old Mini Schnauzer who enjoys the company of other dogs. I follow each pet owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, routines, medications, crate preferences, and exercise needs. I understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when they’re away from their owners. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible while also making sure they receive attention, affection, exercise, and attentive care.
About: ⭐️Meet & Great with new clients ⭐️Extra cuddles and love ⭐️ Detailed updates with photos/videos Hi! I’m Mackenzie 💜 your pet’s new favorite sitter and probably their future bestie. I’m a huge animal lover, especially dogs. Growing up with dachshunds, I fully understand that every pet has their own unique and fun personality, and I’d love to see it during my time with them. I don’t just “watch” pets - I connect with them. Whether your pet has high energy, is shy, curious, or a little sassy, I take the time to learn their personality so they feel safe, comfortable and truly cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make you feel 100% comfortable and for your pets to be happy, cared for, and loved as if they were my own. I work a typical 9-5 with a decent amount of flexibility. Early mornings, mid afternoon and late evenings are the best but with enough notice, everything is flexible. Under my care, your pets will be given all the attention, love, and time they need. Detailed photos/ updates will never be an oversight on my part.
“Karla was amazing! My babies took to her instantly and she really helped ease their separation anxiety while we were apart. She sent us regular photos and you could see how happy they all were when she was with them!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. I would walk and care for neighbors dogs I loved every minute and knew this was my passion. I’d love to walk feed and bathe your fur baby as well. I’m a full time stay at home mom of two. My full attention would be on your sweet babes as well, I’m always available to walk or feed them and okay with them anytime! I have a fenced in yard for my golden doodle that is very spoiled and loving. I can also crate your fur baby if needed.
About: As an experienced dog & house rabbit owner and credentialed veterinary technician (FL), I understand that every pet and species needs vary. I am excited to work you as a pet parent to find out what works for you and your pets individual needs. Your dog will be with someone consistently thru their stay with potty breaks, walks, cuddles, and playtime as they enjoy. My partner works from home and my time is spent caring for dogs, tending our garden, and painting pet portrait commissions. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog (yellow lab) that can keep your dog company or be kept separate if needed. We can easily accommodate a crate in quiet spaces or more central based on what your pet is used to. My goal is to make my home feel as familiar as their own. I do require all dogs staying in my home to, at minimum, be up-to-date on their Rabies and Distemper/Parvo (DAPP) vaccinations and be on flea prevention (I’m happy to provide resources where these are accessible if needed). Other vaccines and parasite preventions are highly recommended.
“Alexia was a fabulous pet sitter for our menagerie! And she was a very courteous house guest/sitter as well. Pictures and updates were timely and our old old dog was happy. :). Will try and book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of lots of different dogs, cats, and even a Guinea pig so I’m great with pretty much any animals. I don’t just do the bare minimum either I always make sure to keep them happy and occupied as well. This is currently my only job so I have all the time to spend taking care of your sweet fur babies, on weekdays and weekends. I’m capable of filling in with any extra things like administering medication if needed and anything else you need me to do for you.
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats of all ages and health. I have especially taken care of senior animals as my family is like a hospice care for senior dogs and cats so I have plenty of patience and experience for the older animals. At the same time I have no problem keeping up with puppies and kittens and love their energy. Because I take my college classes online I can make pet sitting my full time job which is my ultimate goal while in school. I can come any day of the week at any time (within reason of course.) I have a fully fenced in yard with two other dogs, i can provide all accommodations for another should you want your dog to stay with me. For cats I have now empty space for a cat as well as my own recently passed so yours will be quite happy.
About: I love animals. Dogs are my favorite. With me your pets are in great hands. I will treat them like they are my own. I love going for walks/runs and would love to take them to the dog park to make some friends. I have experience taking care of my own animals and have owned a range of different breeds and sizes from pitbulls to shih tzu. I am willing to bathe, feed, walk, and groom your pet if needed. I am good with people and even better with dogs. Anything else you want to know just ask. I have open availability weekdays and weekends, days and nights. Feel free to use my services as many days a week as you need. Thanks in advance.
“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!”
“Bhavana did a great job house sitting and watching our two pups! She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly. She sent us photos and our pups looked happy. It's always a relief to not have to worry while you are out of town. We requested her services last minute because our original plans fell through so we are very appreciative of Bhavana!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind for the past 9 years! Prior to dog sitting and walking I helped to breed and show English Bulldogs and Shibas. I have much experience with newborn puppies as well as much aged ones! All around me know how much I absolutely love and adore dogs! It was always a shock I never went into vet tech! I unfortunately don’t currently have the circumstances to own a dog as I am a renter but I LOVE caring for others dogs and getting my dog love through them!! I am very attention detailed and will be sure to keep great attention on your sweet baby ! I currently work part time as a bridal stylist and though I love my job I also love animals and would love to be able to take care of your pet! My schedule is very flexible and because I work part time I am able to make many schedules work! I care for pets mostly in others homes by caring for the need of the pet not only physically but also socially! Most pets need a social aspect to their visit just as much as they need a physical one as well! I have even hand fed animals per the instructions of the owner!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Sharpsburg is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $82 and $83 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 October 2026, there are 929 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 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 Sharpsburg. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
