About: I’ve grown up caring for animals & have experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, and even chickens! Taking care of pets was part of my responsibilities growing up, so I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, & making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. Although I don’t currently have pets of my own because of my work & school schedule, I love spending time with & caring for my family & friends’ pets. I also have experience staying overnight to care for dogs through a family connection. I’m responsible, attentive, & will treat your pets like they’re part of the family. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to get my serotonin dose from all the cuteness of animals while doing something I enjoy! I’m currently in nursing school, which gives me flexibility outside of my class & clinical schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, & overnight stays depending on the day. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure their pet’s normal routine fits with my schedule. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet & your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine & any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, crates, litter boxes, or other care needs. I’ll make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, & gets plenty of attention while you’re away, & I’m happy to provide any photo & text updates as needed for peace of mind.

About: My dog passed and I miss her company! So I love having visitors to keep me company and play with while working from home :) Work from home, I'm free to walk the dogs first thing the the morning, around noon and anytime in the evening and spend the whole day with them if needed :) Quiet home, no children, no smoking, no other dogs or cats - just fish n two birds, half way fenced Yard, but very safe. We can walk around the neighborhood, there is a park down the street as well and the back yard.
“Brigid was excellent!! She cared for my dog like he was her own. She gave him his meds on time and kept communicating with me while she was caring for him by sendings pics everyday! I would hire her again!! Thanks Brigid for taking care of my boy with love and caring for his needs!!”

“Mya was great sitting for our dog storm. She kept him well entertained and sent us lots of updates and pictures. We will definitely use her again, storm was very happy when we got home.”
“Jaime and Kasey were great! It was our first time using Rover, and we had a great experience. Our dog Frank was spoiled and our house was cleaner when we returned than how we left it! Not only did Jaime send updates with pictures of Frank every day, she also helped out by meeting an appliance repair person at our house and watered our flowers several times! Thank you Jaime!”

I have vast experience and knowledge on various breeds and their specific needs, and really just love being able to have the time and availability to be able to provide these services.

About: Hi, I've been around pets for the last 15ish years with that I've learned that not all dogs are the same and will react the same way towards everyone. I have worked with dogs who were previously in shelters, nervous dogs, fearful dogs, and anxious dogs. I have experience dog sitting small and big dogs. I have potty trained my own dogs and have helped friends potty train as well. I'm comfortable with bathing, brushing, feeding, walking, and interacting with dogs. I have worked with special needs dogs and am comfortable changing their diapers, applying creams and ointments, and applying wraps or bandages if needed. I'm comfortable feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and brushing cats. I've also taken care of small reptiles like bearded dragons and geckos, as well as birds like cockatiels and parakeets. I just moved to the area and have flexible availability. I am available for drop ins and walks throughout the day. No time is too early or too late. I'm open to last minute drop ins or walks as long as it is communicated. I'm great at sticking to your pets eating schedule as well as establishing routines if needed. I'm able to clean up after your pet, feed them, interact with them, and stimulate their brain as well.
About: My name is Taylor and I am a veterinary technician servicing the DMV area. I have been working with dogs specifically since I was 15 and cats since I was 18. I personally have a cat and have had dogs in the past, and I understand the stress put on the importance of finding someone that you can trust to watch your animals while you are away. Safety is my upmost concern and as a veterinary technician and a groomer, I am very experienced in dog and cat care and would love to babysit your little angel! I can't wait to meet you and thanks for visiting my profile! I currently work from home so I have more than enough time to devote to your pet and their individual needs. My hours are not necessarily tied to a desk or computer either, so I am able to do walks freely throughout the day. Depending on the customers request, I am able to accommodate most housing accomodations. There is a room specifically designated in the house for the pet for the duration of the stay, which has toys, beds, food and water as well as a TV. it’s also a daybed for me as well so that I am able to stay in the room with your pet. My backyard is large and it’s open, however I will be keeping pers on-leash anytime they are outside.
About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give to every dog. My children and I are all passionate pet lovers, and we’ve cared for dogs of friends, neighbors, and family members for years. With 5+ years of experience, I understand the needs of dogs, whether it's providing extra care for senior dogs or giving attention to puppies. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, and all are welcome! Since we don’t currently have a dog at home, your dog will get all of our focus and affection during their stay. We're dedicated to creating a loving, safe environment for your pet while you're away, while providing consistent updates (if this is something that you are okay with) :). I am currently a stay at home mom, and have a clear and free schedule (aside from dropping off and picking up my children from school). In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment for your dog, with plenty of attention and care. Although I don't techies have a yard, the apartment complex offers a fenced in dog park and there are several dog parks nearby that I’m happy to take your dog to for regular walks and playtime.

“Laila is amazing!! I had a very last minute cancellation, but Laila saved the day! After a video call I was confident that my dog would be well cared for while I was away. She was a great communicator and kept me updated throughout the stay. I appreciate her so much for her help!!”

About: My older brother used to breed South African Mastiff’s and train different breeds. I’ve been blessed to learn the difference between dog breeds, how they communicate to each other and their owners, and understand what needs their personalities require. I also help my sister with her husky and they are a bit much lol, so that’s a bonus in experience! It is my goal to deliver attentive and dependable care to every paw! My schedule as of right now is quite flexible since i’m working part time as an Esthetician. I decided to join rover to bring more fulfillment into my weekly routines. I have a big field next to a playground in my townhouse complex where the neighborhood dogs hang out. I also have fenced back yard & covered outdoor patio if being around other dogs aren’t an option. I like to keep anything at reach away from pets , while giving them space to roam freely, unless requested otherwise. As for cats I like to keep a closer eye on because they are quite curious so while giving them their space, I like to check in on them often.
About: I don’t feel it’s difficult to follow the instructions that the owners give, and that is what I am there to do. I want the animal to be comfortable while waiting for you to come home. I interact with their needs and especially if special instructions are needed. My weekly schedule would revolve around what time the job is needed by the customer. I’m very flexible. I’m retired. Still have lots of energy for easy stuff like watching puppies and kitties. It is easy for me to listen to what the owner wants to do when caring for the deeds of the animal. I’m familiar with creating. I am familiar with letting out into a fenced yard. I am familiar with walking older animals.

About: What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized, compassionate care for every dog I meet.

I have experience working with puppies and senior dogs, including helping reinforce basic training, maintaining consistent routines, and adapting care to different energy levels and mobility needs. Whether it's encouraging good leash manners, practicing basic commands with young dogs, or providing patient, gentle care for older pets, I focus on creating a positive and stress-free experience. I believe in clear communication, reliability, and treating every dog as if they were my own. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is getting attentive, dependable care from someone who truly enjoys spending time with animals.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,152 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Tilghman Island. 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 Tilghman Island 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 Tilghman Island 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 Tilghman Island 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 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.
