About: Hi! I’m Gillian, a professional dog groomer with over 8 years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Throughout my career, I’ve handled thousands of dogs, including puppies, seniors, anxious pets, and dogs with special needs. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for health concerns, and provide calm, confident care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or grooming services, I will treat them like they’re my own and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priorities. I work as a professional dog groomer during the day and offer pet care services before and after work, as well as on weekends. During house sitting stays, pets must be comfortable being alone for several hours on weekdays. I prioritize communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. With over 8 years of professional experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I am comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and dogs with special needs. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise routines, and household rules. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, safe, and stress-free experience while you’re away.
“Jules is amazing! We just moved to Miami and are so glad to have found her. She went above and beyond caring for our two kitties. She is definitely an animal person, and really spent time giving them attention and love while also following my food instructions to a T. Definitely booking her again for all future cat sitting!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind, from my family dog to my friend’s dogs with special behavioral needs. My family and friends have relied on me to feed, walk, and give medication to their dogs and cats. I currently work part time at a dance studio for children that is mainly open during the evenings, allowing me to have a flexible schedule during the day for more walks and playtime. I can walk, feed, play with, and give medications to your fur baby to give them the extra love and attention they want during the day.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and attention, I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each animal’s needs. I understand how important routines, comfort, and safety are, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a student at Towson University! All of my classes take place in morning/early afternoon so I am free in afternoons/ evenings. The weekends I am completely free as well! I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any medication instructions. I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of hazards, and I never leave pets unattended in unsafe situations. I also maintain open communication with owners by providing regular updates and photos, so they feel confident and reassured while they’re away. Most importantly, I give each pet patience, attention, and affection to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Monica provided excelent care for my babies. She found a rapport with the dogs, so despite our absence, they remained playfull and calm, they ate, and did not destroy anything in the house. Usually, they are real monsters when we leave for more than few hours.”
“Meaghan is wonderful with our puppy. She takes great care of him and he has such a fun time when she comes over. Meaghan also sends lots of photos so I can see how happy he is.”
“Maeghan was so wonderful with our pups Checkers and Ava! She arrived on time and provided top notch care during her visit. She communicated all aspects of the visit to us and kindly provided photos. Maeghan is professional and we felt very safe with our dogs in her care. Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve had all kinds of animals my entire life, so being around pets and taking care of them has always just come naturally to me. Right now I have two of my own, and they’re truly like my kids—I treat them with a lot of love, attention, and care, and that’s exactly how I approach every pet I watch. What really sets me apart is how seriously I take that responsibility. I don’t just “watch” pets—I treat them like they’re my own, or how I would want someone to treat mine. That means making sure they’re not only safe, but comfortable, getting attention, exercise, and sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m comfortable with all types of pets—high-energy dogs that need long walks and play, as well as more laid-back or older pets that just need patience and a calm environment. I pay attention to behavior, mood, and the little things, because I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your animal. At the end of the day, I just genuinely love being around animals, and I want both you and your pet to feel completely at ease while you’re away. have an open and flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the week and on weekends. Pet care easily fits into my routine, and I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs, whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, or last-minute requests. Since I provide care in your home, my goal is to keep everything as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and making sure they feel safe while you’re away. I treat your home with the same respect I would expect someone to treat mine. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk routines, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences you have for your pet’s care. Safety is a top priority for me. On walks, I stay alert, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure your pet is always secure. During drop-ins, I make sure doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk are properly handled before I leave. I also believe communication is huge, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages, photos, and how your pet is doing so you can have peace of mind. At the end of the day, I treat your pet like my own and your home with respect—you can trust they’re in good hands.

Jess is an incredibly dependable, animal loving person! So easy to work with and awesome communication as usual! Truly has the best interest for your animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 52 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Smithburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
