“Natalia was incredible! She took amazing overnight care of our rescue pup with separation anxiety. Throughout the booking process and the period our dog was in Natalia’s care, she was warm, responsive, and accommodating. I can’t recommend Natalia enough!!”
“Joanna was great! She gave the perfect amount updates on my greyhound, Minerva while we were away and she kept our house super neat and clean. Minerva was so relaxed when we got home so we know she had a great weekend too! Would highly recommend!”
“Cara was the most amazing dog sitter!!! I was out of town for almost a week and didn’t have to worry for a second about my dogs - she took them on long walks downtown, took them to swim in her pool, and they absolutely loved her! I swear they were hoping she would walk in the door when I got home instead of me. Highly recommend Cara for all your pet sitting needs. Thanks Cara!!”
About: My name is Sophia and I have loved animals since I was little. I have 3 fur babies myself! Brandy, Bourbon and Whisky (my little bar cart if you will). I also have a rabbit named Toast and all 4 of them are the light of my life. Every morning I wake up and they greet me with kisses and demands for pets. Of course I always give in. I have a bachelors in large animal sciences, have volunteered at forgotten cats for years, and have worked in emergency, oncology and dermatology departments. Currently I work at another veterinary clinic that helps dogs and cats get quick emergency care for more minor issues like ear infections. With all my past experience your fluffy ones will be in good hands! Since I work during week days and sometimes weekends, I would try to be back with your pet(s) as much as possible! (I work a total of 4 days a week and my schedule can be random since I’m in veterinary emergency). Weekdays I work 3pm -11pm and weekends I would work 10am-8pm. Any other time would be spent taking your pet on walks, brushing out their fur, giving them treats and all the attention they deserve! I can stay with/walk pets before work on weekdays. Weekends I would be unable to walk them unless you are okay with my hours and I am doing overnight or long term pet sitting. I would take your dogs for walks or let them out into the yard as much as possible. I will follow instructions left by you and make sure to give many updates and pictures! I believe pictures are the best way to feel comfortable with your pets care while also getting those cute pet moments while your away!
“Bri just stayed with Maple for the weekend and we could not be happier with the stay. She was very easy to communicate with regarding booking and scheduling. She was prompt for her stay at our house and took wonderful care of our fur baby. She sent a daily update that included a few pictures which really made us feel at ease leaving Maple for the weekend. She was also very flexible when some last minute weather issues changed our plans. We will definitely be asking Bri to come stay again.”
“Riley was awesome! He stayed with Wilson for 5 nights and was very responsive/communicative. He made two extra trips beforehand to go over care needs which we really appreciate. He has great energy with animals and lots of experience with dogs that have specific needs. We look forward to working with him again!”
“Tabor was a wonderful sitter for my rescue dog Sandy. I only had her for a week before going on vacation. He was more than willing to work with Sandy with being in a new home. He came to meet Sandy and they got along just fine. He worked on lease walking, and many commands. He kept me updated with photos and videos. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a house sitter for their fur babies!”
“Pam spent the weekend with my two dogs at my home. She was great with communication and updates. When I got home, the house was cleaned up and the dogs were happy! Appreciated her help!”
“Samantha will be out go to sitter if she’s available. We loved her attention to the care and feeding of our fur babies. She was so attentive. We loved all the pics she sent.”
“Makinzie took such good care of my two dogs while we were away! She was very communicative throughout and her care and concern for the dogs made it easy to relax knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: Throughout my life i’ve grown up with dogs and later in life with cats. I have also worked at boarding places here and there and currently work as a veterinary assistant at a clinic. Currently I am working full time at the clinic T-F 8-6. I will sometimes work a Saturday job seasonly but that won’t start until around spring. That being said I am available currently all weekends and mondays as well to walk your pups! Making sure everything is safe first and then clean. I will mainly be doing walking services so any poop or mess will be cleaned up on the walk and same for inside if need be! I will always greet your dog in a safe way to ensure safety on both ends and trust.
“Madison was awesome!!! Our Daisy was dealing with a little separation anxiety so we decided to find a sitter to stay in our house. This was the best decision and Madison was great! She touched base with me during the week and even sent a few pictures. What a relief to know my baby was happy and well taken care of. I actually think Daisy is missing Madison?.”
“Tim is responsible and compassionate and was absolutely terrific with our standard poodle. We’ve used him several times and had absolutely full confidence that his three day stay with our beloved canine would go well. And it certainly did. House was left in immaculate order and our Louie was sad to see Tim go. We can definitely recommend Tim to others.”
“This was the first time Kat watched our 3 guys, she was wonderful. I would receive a few pictures every day so I could see how well my dogs were doing. She was at our place during Hurricane Ida and while we did not lose power we did lose water. She had to deal with all of this until my husband left our vacation early to deal with the fallout of the storm. Through all of that everyone at the house were safe and healthy. The next time I need someone to watch the guys I will be contacting Kat.”
About: Hi, I'm Shaina! Dogs have been a huge part of my childhood and adulthood, and I honestly can't imagine how bland my life would be without them. I currently share my home with two of my own pups –Eevee and Max– who couldn't be more different, and a sweet foster dog who's been with us while we search for her perfect forever home. Caring for dogs with unique personalities, and even specific health needs has taught me patience, flexibility, and how to make every pup feel safe and loved. I'm the go-to sitter for my entire family because they know I can never say no to spending time with furry friends. Over the years I've also volunteered and fostered, giving dogs a chance to experience love in a home and avoid time in kennels. Whether it's a walk to break up their day, some company while you're at work, or longer term care while you're away, I'll treat your dog like part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your best friend is happy, comfortable and cared for. A quick note about my availability: I do have a full-time job, but I work from home some days and my schedule can often be flexible – even if my calendar looks blocked for certain weekdays or weekends. If you're unsure about a specific day, please don't hesitate to reach out – I'll do my best to make it work! If you're looking for someone who truly loves dogs and understands their individual needs and quirks, I'd love to help! :) I do work full time, but I have a hybrid schedule and have varying weekend availability as well. Depending on your location, I can easily come by during my work day. But other than that I'm available for weekends and if you have trips that you would need someone to watch the pet at home, I can do that as well. I will do everything I can to make them feel loved when they are missing you, whether that is in their own home or at mine. I will play in the yard, take them for walks and follow any other specific needs you request for the lifestyle your pet is accustomed to.
“I have been looking for a dog sitter for awhile now. I tried Rover.com to find one. My first experience has been a positive one. She sent pictures, and wrote down the daily things the dogs did. My shy dog finally relaxed with her and actually was waiting at the door wagging his tail when she came. She did a lot extra to help them feel relaxed at this was also their first dog sitter. Both were kissing her and cuddling with her on the sofa.”
“Jen is a very professional and caring pet sitter. Very responsive and was able to get our appointment and meet and greet set up quickly without any problem. My dog seemed to really enjoy Jen’s company and house was left immaculate! Thanks and will book again!”

Valerie was absolutely fantastic! She's a great communicator with a great personality. She was very detail oriented with taking care of my dogs with special needs. She gave them lots of love and care, kept me updated with several great photos and videos. She took great care of my home as well and helped me out with a special request.
Paige was an amazing pet sitter for our Stevie! She walked her, played with her in the backyard and kept her company while my husband and I were away for a long weekend. She left our home spotless and sent us update pictures every day. I will absolutely be using her again and can’t recommend her enough!
Braelin stayed with our two big pups over a long weekend and she was great with them! She sent pics and kept me updated as necessary. I could tell they were getting a lot of love and attention and thoroughly enjoying it! She took good care of our home also. Although she is new to Rover, Braelin has a lot of previous dog sitting and care experience. I would not hesitate to book her. She was very responsive since our first interaction and handles herself professionally. And most importantly, my pups loved her:)
Abbey was great! She came to our house a couple days prior to her pet/house sitting to meet our dogs so everyone felt comfortable with each other. We would definitely recommend her! We will be using Abbey again in the future for any vacations we can’t bring our fur babies with.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Trappe is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $73 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Trappe 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 Trappe 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Trappe 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 , 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 .
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
