About: ✨ Schedule & Availability I currently maintain a full-time position but please do not hesitate to reach out and we can talk about options to accommodate your pets needs. Open Availability : Monday / Tuesday Limited Availability : Wed - Sun ✨My Experience I have experience caring for both dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. From energetic puppies who need extra patience and consistency to independent cats who prefer a quieter approach, I believe every pet deserves individualized attention and care. In addition to caring for my own pets over the years, I have volunteered with animal rescue and shelter organizations, giving me experience working with animals of different temperaments and backgrounds. ✨Drop-in visits / Dog walking / Cat care visits / Puppy visits / senior pet care ✨Meet & Greet I strongly encourage a meet-and-greet before any first-time booking. Meet-and-greets can be conducted either in person or through a video call, depending on your preference and schedule. This gives us an opportunity to: • Make sure we’re a good fit • Allow your pet to become familiar with me • Review feeding schedules and daily routines • Discuss medications or special care requirements • Review behavior preferences and household expectations • Answer any questions before services begin I currently work full-time, but I still maintain availability outside of my work schedule for pet care, drop-ins, walks, feedings, and quality time with your pets. I’m reliable with routines and make sure pets receive the attention, consistency, and care they need while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and entering your home. I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention to their individual comfort level and routine. I’m experienced with shy pets, senior animals, anxious pets, and pets that may need a calmer approach or extra time to adjust. I always prioritize safety, clean environments, secure doors/leashes, and careful attention to instructions so owners can feel confident their pets are being cared for like family.

About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I love taking care of them, making their days full of fun and ensuring that they're healthy and loved. I walked my miniature daschund and chocolate lab side by side for years, so I got a lot of experience with a range of sizes and types of dogs. I’ve worked with the Blue Ridge Humane Society as well in my career. I cared for and interacted with puppies, teens and old doggies with all sorts of medical problems, temperaments and personalities. The attention and care they deserve will not be missing when I am around. I now have a bordercollie mix of my own, and he has taught me even more about what makes dogs happy. I have experience house sitting for neighborhood pets, experience giving medicine to dogs, taking care of elderly dogs and youngsters. I also volunteered at my local SPCA throughout college and got a lot of experience handling different levels of leash-trained dogs, and reactive dogs. I am currently between roles in my career, due to a sudden loss in my family. I am available to care for your pets whenever they need and I know they deserve the utmost love — since my pet is keeping me going these days too. My first priority is making sure your animal feels safe around me and comfortable. Once I gain their trust, whether it’s instant or over a few visits, I will be sure to learn their favorite ways to live and provide that for them. I will walk them on their favorite trails, give them their favorite scratches, snuggle if they need or just let them have their space and potty breaks. I listen to the animals needs and respond.

“Mya was fantastic. She watched our two rowdy puppies, one of whom is only 5 months, while my husband and I were away for our wedding. You could tell she genuinely loved our dogs and was taking such good care of them. We came home and the house was immaculate and our dogs were so happy. She was on time, communicative, and detailed. I would hire her again in a second!”

About: I love dogs and I love spending time with them and playing with them! I love to snuggle or lay close with them and make sure they are comfortable at all times. I love playing with them and wearing them out so they sleep good at night! I love walking them and seeing how excited they get when someone comes to see them! I have dog sat many of dogs from very small to very big and I don't have a type, I love all sizes, shapes, and more! I have had a dog my whole life and I can't ever get enough of them. I have been told that I am good at dog sitting and their pets are always great when they return!
About: Before joining Rover I mainly provided my services through word of mouth. I have experience with providing basic medical care for dogs and cats, and training experience including potty training and easing separation anxiety. 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. They say a dog is a man’s best friend, but in my case, a dog has always been a woman’s best friend! I offer dog sitting, walking, training and boarding at my home as well. I am brand new to the app but I do have plenty of references and want to make all owners feel just as comfortable as I want to ensure their pets will feel with me! I currently work a part-time job from my home, so I have a flexible schedule and able to meet any needs your pet has. I am available everyday, all hours mainly, and can accommodate you and your pets schedule! In my home all pets are welcome. I have plenty of walking trails and a back yard for pets that stay at my home. I typically will customize the walks, food, bathing etc depending on the needs of the pet and what works best for them and the owner.
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 got my first dog ever a decade ago and I raised him to be perfect, with no professional training for either of us. Then, I quit my ten year career in digital marketing to follow my passion and work entirely with dogs. I worked as a bark ranger at Bark Social and made dog safety my top priority, drastically reducing humping and the ensuing scuffles. I loudly advocated for a transformation of safety rules while I worked there. I volunteer at BARCS and am aiming to get advanced training for different dog behavior needs. Howie is my top reference. I adopted my second dog (Shadow) after instantly bonding with her at my old job. Shadow is bonkers and her parent has health issues, so Shadow needed a home where she can be her true self. Dogs are my world and I will give your pet all the love and affection they deserve (which is all of it because they are perfect). *temporarily suspending boarding until I buy a house because my landlord is forcing me* Dogs run my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The only thing I can see myself doing for the rest of my life is working with animals. I’m all in so I’m available most hours and most days. I’m literally with dogs 95% of my life so dogs are my daily routine. My dogs will love becoming best buddies with any pet that boards or does daycare with them! Reopening dog walks for the time being All boarding and daycare clients will have an apple AirTag tracking chip affixed to them for the duration of our time together (if wearing a collar). I use a hands free leash attached around my waist so they’re stuck with me. I also use their handheld leash as a backup. I have a shared balcony and private fenced back patio, so there is always a secure outside area for your dog. My house is less than a block from Patterson park, giving them plenty of outside opportunities. My training style is radical love. Your pets will know they’re cared for and will get plenty of positive reinforcement from my end! I have two extremely friendly dogs, so there will always be friends for your pet. Dogs run my household and life revolves around them. Your dog is in safe and loving hands! Please bring a collar for tracking. I prefer using both harnesses and collars when taking them for walks, but one or the other is required. You will also need to bring any food or other things necessary for your dog. I only have Shadow’s crate at this time, hopefully with another coming soon, so also bring your crate if your dog is crate trained. They won’t need one if they don’t typically use one though! I love this community and plan on staying here for the rest of my life. Help me eventually buy a house here that fits more dogs and you’ll have a dog guy for life!
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.
“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: 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: I have cared Italian greyhounds at all ages some with strict medication schedules. I can also adapt to the needs of more aloof breeds like Shar-peis. I can walk feed bathe and follow medication routines. I work form home most days. I am free many weekends. The day I am most often unavailable is Mondays. Weekend boarding is my favorite. I have a fenced yard and a backyard and a back entrance with multiple doors incase your dog is tends to elope out of open doors due to excitement or being a fearful recent rescue.

FAQs for House Sitting - Tilghman Island
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,177 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.
