“Chelsea, is extremely reliable, polite and earnest about her responsibilities! I will most definitely be booking her for future visits! I am so grateful for her being prompt to help and assist me in my time of need. My furbabies are also great full for the time she spent with them!! Thank you for being you!”
About: Hi there! Currently doing repeats only, but feel free to reach out with inquiries to confirm whether my schedule might allow for a new booking. I’m most eager for drop ins and walks, yet offer sitting and boarding as well. I’m happy to offer a complimentary meet & greet ahead of services to ensure that it’s a good fit for all. I’ve had family pets of all species and sizes ever since I was born, growing up in 4H/ with large animals so I know a thing or two about general animal care. My experiences are varied and have lent to an above average animal sense. I’ve cared for senior pets, pets with advanced medical needs and my own animals during post-op recovery. One unique perk is that my sister is a veterinarian of 15 years and offers me an additional wealth of knowledge. Many might consider me a helicopter pet parent, which I’m proud to claim. No unsupervised grass/ twig chomping or foreign body scares with me around! I own two senior dogs: Remi and Paisley. They love everyone and everything but are at the age where sleep is the ruler of their day. I’m joining Rover semi selfishly because they have less ability for adventures now, yet unselfishly as any boarding time that your pet spends with us means spoiled vacation time with grandma and grandpa for them. However, I’m happy to keep them around if you have a puppy who needs socializing/ wise knowledge gathering from their elders. My schedule is currently limited to biweekly availability. Repeat clients are able to reach out to inquire about specific dates even if they are not listed. I’m currently customizing my calendar week to week and will open days up as needed. Feel free to inquire. In my home/ in life, pets are considered cherished family members. I am attentive, interactive and just overall excited to meet some new furry pals. I can keep up with any personality from frantic ball chaser to subdued couch potato. I know that every pet is different just as any human is different and am happy to accommodate in whatever way makes all happy.
“Danielle did an amazing job with our pets while we were out of town. The dogs loved her so much that now we are just chopped liver! Danielle is communicative, thoughtful, responsible and also she is a veterinary professional. We felt very safe having her care for our pets. Thank you!!”
“Jessica took great care of my cats. One of my cats needed a special soft food diet due to recent oral surgery and Jessica was very accommodating. She observed the cats carefully to make sure that they are healthy and sent daily updates with pictures which really gave me peace of mind when I was traveling.”
“Karen is awesome! The dogs responded really well to her. It was a hot day but she made sure they got enough outside time and gave them lots of pets and treats inside. She sent me updates and made sure everything was done just right before heading out. I'd definitely book with Karen again.”
“Rylyn took great care of Mimi. She even got her to come out of hiding. No one else besides me has been able to since Dec, 2023. Great accomplish. Rylyn jumped in to pick up extra visits - left earlier & delayed getting back on time. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have been caring for animals my entire life! I have been trusted by many friends, family, and neighbors to care for and walk their pets! I personally have a Rottweiler, black lab and rough collie and have raised cows and pigs my whole life. I love animals of all sizes! I can be flexible with times and am able to do early mornings and late nights! I currently work 10am-6pm which allows me to be free in the mornings and in the evenings , often when others are not available for pet care. I treat any and all animals as I would my own, with love and respect! Depending on what I am there for I will make sure all animal needs are met. If I am there for a drop in visit, I will make sure they get adequate play time, attention and make sure they have plenty of food/water before leaving.
“Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)”
About: I’ve dog sat for a few family friends and absolutely loved it! I love animals (especially dogs) and would be happy to care for your doggo. I currently work part time but I set my own hours! So evenings or early mornings could definitely work out for me. I also am a college student starting back up in the fall semester of 2025 but my schedule is very flexible. I don’t think I would be able to care for your pets in my current living situation but would be happy to come to you when needed! I love walking and I’d be thrilled to bring a friend along with me (your dog).
“We had a great experience! She stopped by twice to let our dogs out while we were away and was reliable, communicative, and very caring with them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: Ive taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. From watching the neighbors dogs to my own family pets. I will spoil them with love and attention as well as making sure their needs are met, like daily walks, playtime etc. I’m currently working Monday-Friday 8:30-4:00 pm. Weekends I’m full availability. Will actively communicate with pet parents to ensure animals needs are met. Reach out if this works out for your needs! I have a fenced yard and watch dogs as they are actively in the yard. Can do walks for active dogs, and play time. Whatever is best needed for that animal I will provide.
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care Justine provided while we were away! She went above and beyond to ensure our kitties felt safe, loved, and comfortable in our absence. From thoughtful updates and adorable photos to her genuine affection and attention to detail, it was clear our kitties were in the best hands. We came home to relaxed, happy cats—and a perfectly maintained home. Truly exceptional service—we wholeheartedly recommend Justine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter and will definitely be using her again!”

Amanda was so great!! We had a bad experience in the past with another sitter, and Amanda was up front and honest and communicative with everything. She made us feel super comfortable. We had a last minute request and she was able to help and was perfect. Our dog loved her and she sent lots of pics and videos. We will def use her again in the future. Highly recommend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Thurmont stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
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.
