“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!”
About: I've always been great with animals, able to read them and good at figuring out what they need. I volunteered at Animal Welfare League of Queen Anne's County for several years starting in High School. I've worked closely with large animals with behavioral problems, so I'm down the handle whatever quirks your pet has. My schedule is very flexible, and I can usually provide services as needed when given prior notice. Anytime of day as well, within reason ofc. I'm very adept at reading animals behavior and figuring out when they need attention, when they need space, and good at gaining an animals' trust.
“Carmel was great! She adapted well to my dog’s needs and was very good at keeping us up to date. She took our dog on great long walks, which she loved! Would definitely book again!”
About: My biggest priority is communication! I love to send check ins and pictures throughout the day, and often ask questions. I will always double check instructions to make sure your pet has the care you intended. I am also outdoorsy and love to walk! I will always extend a walk if I can, not cut it short or do the bare minimum. I am committed to giving your pet the exercise and attention the deserve! I am a nanny, student, and big fan of exercise! I have alot going on in my day, but often have gaps in between that allow me to visit your animals and get them outside. I can often be found doing homework in the evenings, and I always seem to get so much more done when dogsitting! I will always follow instructions and ask questions if I am not sure. I will never feed your pet anything that is not from you, and I will use proper precautions, leashes, harnesses, etc, when outside. I will always clean up after myself and be diligent about locking doors and leaving the house as I found it.
“Courtney was great! We felt very comfortable being away knowing that our pets were getting so much love and attention. We had clear and frequent communications and a plenty of pictures confirming all the good things happening. We'd (and our critters) would be very happy to see Courtney again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, Koda and Eddie. Koda is a Cane Corso puppy, which has helped me learn the importance of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and proper exercise. I make sure my pups receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and daily care while keeping their safety and comfort a priority. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I would treat every pet in my care like family! 🐶❤️ Pet care is something I enjoy and make time for in my daily schedule. I strive to be flexible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs, ensuring they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I communicate with pet parents to coordinate schedules and make sure every pup gets the time, love, and attention they deserve! 🐾 I prioritize safety, patience, and trust when caring for every pet. I make sure each animal feels comfortable, loved, and secure while following the owner’s instructions and respecting each pet’s unique needs. I believe in keeping open communication with pet parents, providing regular updates, and creating a safe, welcoming environment where both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease. My goal is to treat every pet like family! 🐾❤️

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 Stevensville 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 Stevensville 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 Stevensville 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.

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.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
