“Xin is beyond amazing. She cared for my 2 kittens as if they were her own. She’s wonderful with them, shared lots of pics and updates and they loved her. It was clear they were in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. Highly recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“Sarah was great! She really earned the trust of our shy cat. By the end of the visits, our cat was meeting her at the door and even snuggling. We highly recommend Sarah, and would definitely rebook.”
“Pamela did a wonderful job caring for my 2 cats. She is dependable. She sent me pictures of my kitties and gave me a thorough update on my kitties every time she came to visit. I was lucky she was available to take care of my kitties.”
About: As a dog mom to Freia and Howdy, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone new. Caring for my own two dogs has taught me to pay attention to each dog’s personality, respect their boundaries, and make room for both playtime and quiet time. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, favorite activities, and little quirks so I can help them feel comfortable while you’re away. You can expect thoughtful care, plenty of affection, and photo updates—because I know I’d want those, too! Pet care is already part of my daily routine with my two dogs, Freia and Howdy, from meals and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and cuddles. I plan bookings around my availability so I can give each pet the time and attention they need. Let me know your pet’s usual schedule, and we can discuss how to keep their routine consistent during their time with me. I take time to learn your pet’s routine, temperament, dietary needs, and any special care instructions. In my home, introductions to my two dogs, Freia and Howdy, will be gradual and supervised, with separate spaces for meals and rest. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions, respect your space, and check that doors and gates are secure before leaving. On walks, I’ll use a leash and avoid unfamiliar dogs or situations that could make your pet uncomfortable. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages and make sure I have your emergency contact and vet information.
About: Hi! My name is Andrew. I’m a nurse working in critical care and behavioral health settings. I hold bachelors degrees in Nursing and Public Health, and I’m pursuing my long term goal of becoming a DNP Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse practitioner. I joined rover as a way to make additional income and prevent burnout by picking extra nursing shifts. I have firsthand experience caring for dogs, having a golden doodle myself. I understand the responsibility that comes with being entrusted with a pet. From daily walks and feeding schedules to playing, companionship, and providing a safe environment, I treat every pet with the same attention and care as I would show my dog. I work as a nurse on a predictable schedule, which allows me to plan pet care around my days off. As a dog owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I have a golden doodle and understand the importance of regular walks, exercise, attention, and maintaining a pets routine. I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine for every pet. As a nurse and dog owner, I’m dependable, attentive, and detail oriented. I follow all owner instructions, provide plenty of care and attention, and keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.
“We are so lucky to have been connected with Jennifer! She’s a caring and dedicated pet companion and we have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands while we are away. Our eldest cat can be a handful and she is very understanding of that. In addition, she’s great at communication. This was our third vacation having her as a sitter and we have a fourth one booked for the near future.”
About: I'm Isa, a recent college grad (and dog mom!). I've cared for large dogs all my life, from hyper puppies to seniors with special accommodations. I care deeply about providing the best possible care and attention to your pet/s, I'm flexible and honest, so feel free to reach out with specific requests! 🐕 🐾 Available in the evening Sun through Wed after 7pm; otherwise free for pet care Thurs through Sat. Scheduling in advance, when possible, is preferred. 😊 I am glad to walk your dog depending on their needs, regarding age, abilities, and breed size. Similarly, when housesitting, I try to mirror your typical routine as much as possible for your pet's comfort.
“Ashley was amazing with our cat sitting needs. Taking time to check food and water as well as changing out the litter box. She even took care of the plants that were in need of some water love during the heat!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently my parents will leave their dogs in my care when they go out of town. I also used to watch my friend’s dogs in college whenever they needed to go home! One of my favorite things to do in college was to walk the dogs at the humane society and we even had an event to walk dogs with other people in greek life on campus! I am very flexible when it comes to routine, i would structure my schedule around what you would prefer! I am able to do weekdays and weekends! I walk my dogs in the early morning but I would able to adjust based on your personal schedule! Pets are a part of a family! I would take the best care i could to make sure they are happy and healthy throughout the time they are in my care!
About: I have had pets since I was 8 years old, different breeds mostly my own but have taken care of neighbors and family. pets I have taken care of all different kinds of breeds and sizes. I am fully retired beside obligations at church 3 days a week I'm available even those three days but only can accommodate after 12pm hours. there are two cats in the home never go outside, they are very spoiled and much love attended to them I was raised to love and respect all kinds of animals and now at the age 70 I still hold the values that my Daddy told us girls do not mistreat an animal.
“Krysta took fantastic care of my girl while I was at work. I have a senior dog with a host of challenges, and Krysta showed her the love and patience she would her own dog. She sent pictures of my dog after each visit - which I really appreciated! Krysta is trustworthy, reliable and flexible in her scheduling and I would absolutely book with her again.”
“Casie was wonderful and took great care of my cat Bella while I was out of town! She sent very good pictures and left me detailed updates about her while I was gone. Felt good knowing she was well cared for while I wasn’t there!”
About: I grew up with multiple pets, including two cats in my childhood and a wonderful dog that I helped care for in her seniority, so I've been familiar with animals all my life. Currently, I own and aided in training a high-maintenance, special needs German Shepherd. He's a sweetheart, but he's definitely a commitment! Given his intensely anxious nature, he needs a patient hand to calm him often. He's also epileptic, so I am well practiced in attentiveness, administering medication, following specialized meal plans and the like if needed. I have also done pet and house sitting on many occasions, particularly for family and friends but for a wide variety of pets– from little dogs that didn't even reach my knee, to my own Shepherd, who stands just about as tall as my hip. I've house kept for up to a week, entertaining young dogs and going on daily walks, etc. I am always happy to be introduced to new little ones and have a high pain tolerance when it comes to their claws, so I don't mind when they get a bit rowdy, either! High energy or low, I will gladly make time for any fluffy friends who need a watchful eye. I am currently on track to earn a Bachelor's in the Arts from Towson University, which is about a 50 minute commute from my home. With this in mind, my current class schedule entails that Towson days are essentially unavailable; however, the rest of the week, I'm generally left plenty of room to take on pet care! Life is always busy, and while sometimes I wind up with too many commitments to do it regularly, I'll always make time for it when I can. Though my own home may not be an ideal place for another pet to spend nights due to my Shepherd's nervousness, I will gladly offer my time to visit others. I have previously found myself curled up on a couch with a pet I was taking care of overnight, or even falling asleep on the floor with them. So long as their pet parents are happy for me to do so, I will gladly stay wherever is most comfortable for the pet involved, and take food/water/sleeping arrangements where they are best suited. I also have a fair sense of direction, so I'm perfectly content on walks in unfamiliar places, especially when I have friendly doggos with me!
“Sam was so sweet and professional. She always gave detailed report cards and sent us multiple pics after each visit. We will definitely be rebooking with Sam and couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Jasmine was wonderful! She came and shoveled her way in during our resent snowfall! Took immaculate care of our 2 kittens and always sent pictures and a note with her daily activities! Thank you Jasmine!!”
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“Alani was extremely responsive and professional throughout the process. She sent frequent updates and provided excellent information after each check in. I will be requesting her first anytime I need pet sitting in the future, and I would highly recommend her to anyone reading this.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Friendship
Ryan is amazing. Conscientious, attentive, caring, highly communicative. Ryan spent all summer coming to our house 1 sometimes 2x a day to let our 8 week old puppy out. With ever changing rules about puppy freedom activities with our VERY energetic older golden, she always asked what she could and couldn't let them do. I would hire Ryam 100x over she is amazing. 100/10. No notes.
Brent took great care of our dogs while we were away. He was reliable, communicated well, and made sure they were happy and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciated his help and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!
Sylvia was great and took wonderful care of our dog, Orion. She asked lost of questions and made sure she understood everything my about how to best care for him. She was trustworthy and forthcoming about everything that occurred while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Friendship is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 15,243 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Friendship. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in West Friendship. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 93% 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 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.
