“Julie was absolutely incredible watching my dog over the weekend. She continuously updated me and sent pictures, and she was able to pivot, accommodating any changes I needed. Julie also provided me feedback on how my dog did and offered suggestions to help with his puppy behavior. I cannot express how great she was and I hope to use her again in the future!”
About: My name is Carla, I have over four years of pet care experience (working in pet stores, vet clinic's, and volunteering for local shelters. I also am mom to 3 fur babies of my own: My senior dog Dino, my rescue Darla, and my youngest daughter Appa. I have a genuine love for animals and will ensure that your pet receives the love and care they deserve. I will walk, feed, and play with your pet to help you give them the extra care they need while you work or take that vacation. I enjoy being active especially with animals so long walks are a favorite past time of mine even during the cold weather months. I look forward to working with you and loving your pets! Thank you for your time! Carla C. I work from home during the week and have the weekends free! I have plenty of time to drop-in and walk your pets if needed. My dogs are crated during the day while I work. Darla gets 3-4 bathroom breaks, while Appa is still being house broken. As far as my client’s home, all I need to know is what their routine is and I go from there.
About: I have loved dogs my entire life, and grew up taking care of them from a young age. I have attended many dog training classes with my family dog, and understand that every dog has its own personality and needs. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding schedules and administering simple medications, and play time. As a pet sitter I am dependable, responsible, and I pay attention to detail. I will treat your dog as if they are my own. I am currently a college student at Salisbury University so I have one to two classes in the morning and am free throughout the day to go for good walks, play time, and am available to do drop in visits. I also live in a house with a large fenced yard and I offer dog boarding. I provide safe, reliable dog care. I have reliable transportation and lots of available time during to the day to either come let your dog out for a good walk, or I also offer dog boarding at my own home that has no other pets and has a large fenced yard.
About: Hi, I'm Caroline! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I've had experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, chickens, and other small animals, and I've been pet sitting and dog walking for the past four years. Every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes each one feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I'm dependable, punctual, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply sticking to their daily routine, I'm happy to provide the care that's best for them. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I always communicate clearly, follow instructions carefully, and make safety my top priority. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and animals with different energy levels and personalities. I'm comfortable administering basic medications if needed, reinforcing routines, and making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve while you're away. I also love sending photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and providing them with the same love and care I'd want for my own pets! I currently work part time as a server, but with a minimum two weeks notice I can work my schedule around your animals needs to give them the best care possible. Though, I can usually work with shorter notice, feel free to reach out even same day and I will try my best to accommodate! Additionally, personal safety is a top priority for me, and I do require a meet up before I will book with you. That way we both feel comfortable!
“Meaudre' was stellar as per usual. The animals LOVE her. She follows directions to the letter, keeps the house neat and tidy and is a general joy to have in our home. Our older dog has lost her hearing and Meaudre' accommodated that issue easily. During the snowstorm she communicated with my daughter to reassure her that she was at our home.”
“Busara is the best! Maxwell has a great time and is always well cared for! I have no worries when I’m not there because I know Busara is always there to save the day and make sure Maxwell has great company”
“Jacqueline did an amazing job with the animals while we were gone for just over a week. She kept in constant communication with us via text and plenty of pictures. We will definitely be using her again for our next trip!”
About: I've been pet sitting for many years and I have experience in many different ages, breeds, energy levels, etc. I've always been naturally drawn to dogs and vice versa. I do walks, visits throughout the day, and overnights :) I graduated from Salisbury University this past spring and I currently work part-time as a personal trainer so I have a flexible schedule that is under my control. I am often available on short notice :) I have one small dog (my childhood dog that I stole when I went off to college) that becomes best friends with every dog she meets, but she stays with my parents in Ocean City when needed. I've stayed in many client's homes before and I always enjoy the down time with the pup(s).
About: I'm very patient, having owned both cats and dogs throughout my lifetime. Have dealt with both from the puppy/kitten stage through old age/end of life. I am semi-retired and available for a wide range of time that can satisfy any work schedule or vacation plans from clients. I enjoy going to the gym and taking walks to remain active so I am flexible around any schedule as needed. I am willing to walk, feed, or even stay over night to be with your pet. I am not currently willing to keep a pet at my home.
“Kyleigh is such a sweet person. I entrusted my home and two very active dogs with her while we went on vacation. The dogs loved her and I returned to our house clean and in tack. She was a great communicator and sent me pics of the dogs. Will definitely use her again.”
About: I have had family dogs most of my life, all were rescues. Each had their own challenges. I’m observant and will take attentive care of your pet. I am starting my masters program in the fall and have a lot of free time during the day. Usually available throughout the day including evenings. I care for them by making sure their bowls have been cleaned and filled with fresh water and food if needed. Give them attention and play with them.
About: I love any kind of dog and will treat them as my own! I’ve had a dog almost my entire adult life and now greatly miss having one after mine passed away a few years ago. I work part time 10:30-4 Monday thru Friday. I am available before and after those hours. I take several walks a day as I like to stay active, but it is much more fun when there is a pet to accompany you! I have a large fenced in backyard and lots of toys to play with. My neighborhood is very pet friendly, has many sidewalks, and has lots of nice yards to poop in! I also have a park close by that is pet friendly. I will give your pet the love and attention they deserve!
About: I provide reliable, attentive care that’s tailored to each pet’s needs and personality. I have a 15 year old Yorkie mix and a 1 year old Yorkie. My experience includes caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior pets, so I understand everything from basic training and routines to giving extra patience and comfort to older animals. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications if needed, and keeping pets active, safe, and loved while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and check-ins. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins to make sure pets aren’t left alone for long. I’m flexible during the week and weekends, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule and give them the time, supervision, and care they need. I create a safe, calm environment by following each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I have a fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise pets. In your home, I respect your space while keeping your pet in their normal routine. I also provide updates and can handle special needs like medications.
“Heather was great! Communication and pictures of Duchess were very much appreciated! I came home to a clean house and it was perfect as I got home later than normal and could just relax and head to bed. I will definitely use Heather again!”
About: I have experience being around many different types of animals and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality! I’ve been around a variety of dog breeds, including Labs, Rottweilers, Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and Great Danes. I’ve also cared for and been around cats, bunnies, ferrets, snakes, ducks, and more. I’m comfortable with different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals! 🐶🐱🐍🦆❤️ I’m currently a college student at Salisbury University. My classes are usually from 10 AM–1 PM, and I sometimes work in the afternoons, but I still have plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve! I’m happy to make time for feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and anything else your pets may need while you’re away. 🐾❤️ At this time, I’m not able to host pets in my own home, but I’m more than happy to care for your pets in their home! I’m available for drop-in check-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I want your pets to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🐾❤️
“Julie was amazing! Our pets were very well care for while we were gone. We came home to a house that was in as good, if not better shape than when we left. She communicated with me any time I requested and in a timely manner. I felt good knowing they were well cared for while we were gone. Oh, she even washed the sheets on the bed she used. Great service for sure!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westover Hills
Julie was such a huge relief to our family! We have a rescue who cannot be boarded and planning vacations/trips can be overwhelming because of it. Julie came to the house to ensure our dog could meet her and feel comfortable around her before our actual time away. She was on time, professional, and sent pictures to update us on she was doing. We will definitely be using Julie again for all of our future dog sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Westover Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 227 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Westover Hills. 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 Westover Hills 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 Westover Hills 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 Westover Hills 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Westover Hills. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
