“Connie provided excellent care for our two dogs and two cats while housesitting. She sent daily updates and photos and everyone always looked so happy and content. She went above and beyond to tidy up and provide plenty of exercise for our two pups. She is professional, communicative, and a true animal whisperer!”
“Sianna was amazing. Our dogs loved her! She was punctual, kind, and kept us updated through her stay. She cuddled the dogs through the thunderstorm and did a great job administering eye medication and keeping the dogs separate during feeding time. She followed the noted instructions perfectly and we will definitely continue to call her!”
“Crissy was absolutely fantastic! I got pictures and updates on my pup, daily. She took such great care of our girl and my flowers look better than when I am home! My dog is anxious one and she loved Crissy. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Kelly was an amazing sitter! She stayed at our house and gave our pups all the love and snuggles. She kept us updated with messages and cute pictures. It’s great to know our dogs were in good hands!”
“Samantha has cared for our dog (and home) twice now. Again we returned home to a happy pup and clean home. Samantha kept us informed and sent photos, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“Amazing house sitter, responsible and communicative! We had Jeff stay at our house for a week with our elderly pitbull and energetic saluki. Jeff took great care of our boys and our house and kept us updated the whole time. He is friendly and professional, 10/10 would reccommend!”
“Excellent expirience all around. This was our first time using Rover after our original sitter fell through. Chris was fantastic at communicating and sent so many updates and photos we felt like our dogs were with us on our trip. Chris not only let our dogs out and fed them but really cared for them and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were gone. We will absolutely use Chris again!”
“Jacqueline was great. She took great care of our two labs. She kept us informed with texts and pictures. We had several modifications due to my wife's hospital stay, and we were able to work through them. Highly recommended.”
“We were extremely happy with Kelly's care of our dogs, Tanner and Salem, while we were away! She was there at the right times to let them out, feed them, followed our instructions for Tanner’s meds, and kept us updated with photos and messages. Tanner and Salem seemed very comfortable with her. We will definitely be using Kelly again in the future as she seemed to really enjoy caring and playing with them.”
“Zana is knowledgeable and experienced. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our vacation, knowing that our pets were comfortable, happy, and cared for. She is an excellent communicator, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Zana!”
“Claire was great! Was happy to have her stay with Colby while we were gone. She communicated well and I felt my dog was safe and well cared for with her. Would use her again for my dog needs!”
“When my other Rover cancelled on me last minute Julion happily stepped in and did an absolutely fantastic job watching my dog while I was away. Cannot say enough good things about his service and professionalism. From the pet care, daily updates, pictures, I would use him over and over and will recommend him to any and all.”
“Damien is SUCH a fabulous human. The extraordinary care he gave towards my fur babies warmed my heart. He went out of his way to text me pictures and updates on how things were going. I absolutely plan on hiring him again! Thanks! Sarah”
“Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!”
About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a little girl. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages as well as with cats and birds. I'm a home gardener too, so you can count on me to care for your yard or your houseplants. I do have a day job, so weekday visit times are limited to before 6:30 am and after 5:00 pm. I work full time in the Glen Arm area of Baltimore County, but provided I can commute from your location I can stay at your home. My weekends are almost always free. I also make frequent visits to Pensacola FL, and will happily accept weekend sits in any part of the country! I will make sure your pet has everything they need for the day before I head out in the morning, and depending on distance I may be able to come back during lunch break as well. My evenings will be spent at your home with your pet.
About: I’ve grown up around and been taking care of dogs since I was born! I love all dogs, especially goldens and bully breeds. I have experience cat sitting for family friends as well, and would be happy to provide your babies with the best care I’m currently working a part time job at a concert venue, so I have plenty of day time availability to take care of your pets. I typically have 1-3 shifts a week and a flexible schedule! I’m experienced with dogs from puppies to seniors. I can administer medications or just provide overall attention and play time. I’m a great communicator and attentive to detail, and strive to make sure your animals are receiving the best care they need. I’m also just a huge animal person excited to give your babies some love while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Falls
We had Roberta stay with our 2 dogs and 2 cats for a week. We have been afraid to leave one of our dogs with anyone other than family because he can be temperamental. This limited our options of vacations and traveling for quite a while which made things difficult for us. Roberta was totally fine with taking care of our babies after meeting them. I cannot explain the peace of mind that she gave us while staying with them. It meant so much. She was amazing. We had daily communication and she sent pictures and videos. We will absolutely reach out to her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Upper Falls
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,792 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Upper Falls. 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 Upper Falls 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 Upper Falls 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 Upper Falls 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.

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.
