“It was our family’s first time using Jess and we are so happy with her service. Just did a meet and greet with our dogs before the actual drop in. She was punctual and the dogs loved her! We’ll be using her again in the future!”

About: As a retired professional, I bring reliability, patience, and a calm presence to every walk. I’ve been a dog owner of two large breeds and one small breed. I have hands-on experience with doodle breeds and their unique personalities. I understand the importance of safety and health. I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable with monitoring, medications, and giving extra attention when needed. Whether your dog loves a brisk walk, a gentle stroll, or some extra cuddles along the way, I treat every pup like family because that’s what they are. As a recently retired police officer, I currently work part-time so my hours are flexible and will have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will safely walk your dog on leash, and can easily crate your dog, if need be.
“Danielle did a great job! She sent photos at every visit and kept me informed on what was going on every drop in. I would definitely recommend her if you needed someone to watch your pups. We definitely will be using her again .”

“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.”

“I am so thankful and appreciative for the care Mary and Ginny provided to my two cats. This was the first time we needed to find care for them and I couldn’t have been happier with finding Mary and Ginny. They made me feel completely at ease with leaving them behind and I know that they loved them the same way we do. One of our cats needs medicine and it felt like such an inconvenience to ask someone to take on that responsibility, but Ginny and Mary made me feel so much better about the situation and I am so thankful to them for that. Thank you again Ginny and Mary. It meant the world to me to know they were okay while we were gone 💕”

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.

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.

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 July 2026, there are 1,895 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.

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.
