“Coralie watched our cat while we were away and was wonderful. She was very flexible with our late booking and gave Yogi fun and entertainment. We got home to a very happy and relaxed cat. She also communicated the entire time very well and the house was wonderfully clean. We’ll definitely book with Coralie again”
About: I used to be a Dog Trainer years ago. My friends & family do come to me with questions and trust my input when they are having difficulties or just need some advice. With having that experience and having the different dogs and cats in my life, I know what I can handle. From taking care of Great Danes, to helping getting kittens to trust humans, I trust myself to make the right decision on a lot of things. I do have a Full Time job, but I do work in an environment with animals. I am usually scheduled 8 or 9hr shifts. My schedule/shifts are usually pretty set in stone unless i make an adjustment or for a co-workers PTO. I am willing to talk over any adjustments to times and getting the normal routine as close to normal as possible. My home is fenced in for my families dogs. They are all very much aware of their area and, even though it might not be the biggest, they still enjoy themselves. My cats usually stay in my room, due to 1 of the dogs not being too friendly sometimes. We have been slowly introducing them little by little. They do get to venture out in the hallways and see the rest of the family on the weekends. They still get plenty of love, play, and food for days!

“Julianne was great with our dog Marcy. Marcy is not used to being away from us so she was shy and sad. But it was clear that she felt comfortable with Julianne and was well taken care of. Julianne stayed at our house and kept everything tidy, and even fed my fish. She gave us just enough updates so that we could enjoy our vacation without worrying about Marcy. We would definitely hire her again!”

I enjoy going out for walks because I know it’s a dogs favorite time of the day. I’ve taken my friends and family’s dogs on walks while they’ve been out of town. I’m looking to walk dogs in the evening when I go for my afternoon walks around the neighborhood. There are times where I may have availability during the day as well.

“Charlie house sat for us for a week. He took amazing care of our cat and dog. Charlie was very professional and an excellent communicator. When we got home, the pets were happy and the house was immaculate. I highly recommend Charlie for pet sitting. We'll be using his services again!”
“Helena was excellent in taking care of my dog Goldie while I went on a two weeks trip. She communicated with me daily on Goldie’s activities with pictures. Goldie is a reactive and sensitive dog so I was kind of worried in the beginning. In addition to playing and taking care of Goldie, Helena got to know Goldie’s temperament and worked on training her which was beyond her responsibility. You can just know that Helena is a dog lover and has great experience with dogs. She is also very caring and pleasant. I feel safe leaving Goldie with her care. I will definitely come to her next time when there is a need.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wheaton-Glenmont
Ren was wonderful! She took a last minute booking to watch my puppy for a few hours. He loved her! I felt completely at ease, which I appreciate more than you can ever know. She even worked with him on a few basic commands (e.g., taking treats nicely). I’d love to book her again.
Angela and her brother, Fernando, did a fantastic job with our senior border collie with epilepsy. They were both extremely attentive to all of our instructions and Fernando sent wonderful videos twice a day. He strikes me as a true dog whisperer. They left our house in tip-top shape. I hope we can get them the next time we go away.
Catalina was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond caring for our dogs and our cat. She took the time to be gentle, patient, and attentive to all of their individual needs, followed all of our directions, and communicated with us throughout the entire time. Our pets were so happy and comfortable with her, and honestly, our dogs have never seemed happier with a sitter! It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would recommend Catalina to anyone. We will absolutely book her again!
Julia is amazing! She’s been a great dog sitter each time we’ve used her! She sends us photos and written updates and this past time we had a ton of unexpected deliveries that she helped us with. It’s clear she loves all animals and supporting them based on our in person conversations.
Vicky was an absolute dream of a house and dog sitter! From start to finish, her communication was top-notch—she kept us completely at ease with regular, thoughtful updates and photos of our dogs. It was clear right away that they were happy, comfortable, and receiving wonderful care. Beyond being fantastic with the dogs, Vicky was the perfect house guest. She went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages, and she left our home spotless and well cared for. She is incredibly respectful, reliable, and attentive. We would rebook Vicky in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet and house sitter!
Christina was a wonderful sitter for our dogs! One of our dogs can be a little skeptical of new people, but she managed to earn his trust on the very first day! She was incredibly communicative, attentive, and caring, and truly treated our dogs as if they were her own. She even offered to stay very late until we were on our way home from the airport, just to make sure they were well taken care of. She genuinely goes above and beyond, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We couldn’t recommend Christina more highly to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies!!
Scott was amazing. He took great care of our 2 dogs and 5 cats!! When we got home they were happy and content. We knew he gave them love and attention throughout the week. Scott was a great communicator, sending lots of photos and videos. I would highly recommend him!
Azucena is incredible and we highly recommend her services!!! Our dog is on the shyer side. But, Azucena went above and beyond to make sure our dog is comfortable. Now, our dog loves being with her!! She is very communicative and always provides updates. We are so happy to have found her!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Helena the care Emilie and Bruno received while we were in Italy. From the very beginning, I felt completely at ease leaving them with someone I trusted to love and care for them as if they were her own. She sent frequent photos and updates, which gave me such peace of mind while we were away. It truly felt like a lifelong friend was staying with my kids. She also took exceptional care of our home, bringing in the mail, watering, and handling every little detail without our having to worry about a thing. At the end of her stay, she coordinated with my mother to ensure a smooth and seamless handoff. Everything went perfectly, and Helena was an absolute delight to work with. I returned home to two happy, well-loved dogs and a beautifully cared-for home. I would trust her with Emilie and Bruno again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wheaton-Glenmont is $53 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $83 per night. 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.

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 Wheaton-Glenmont 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 Wheaton-Glenmont 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 Wheaton-Glenmont 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheaton-Glenmont. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
