“Jennifer did so great with Reese for the week!!! She sent lots of pictures and I know he got plenty of outside time and playing in his pool which he loves! She did enrichment activities with him!! He can be extra energetic but she did so great with him!!”
“Zana was great! We booked her for overnight pet sitting for our 2 dogs. She made sure they were never alone for long, spent lots of time playing with our very energetic pup and sent lots of cute photos during her stay. Our pups loved her and when we got home they acted like we'd never been gone. We have already rebooked Zana for a future trip.”
“Stokeley did a great job with my dog Rocky. Rocky is older with heath issues and special food requirements, and Stokeley had no issues with the needed care for Rocky. He kept in constant contact with me and gave me regular updates on how Rocky and the day was going. I'd recommend Stokeley for pet sitting and will be using him again for my next trip away.”
“Roberta is awesome! She was so kind and always gave updates on our dogs. She stayed the night 2 nights and dropped in on a Saturday a few times. I would recommend her to anyone and use her again. She even tried to vacum up the dog hair off couch. Thank you”
About: I have 5 years of professional pet-care experience working in a doggy daycare, along with 10 years of experience providing dog walking and sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, as well as all energy levels — including very high-energy dogs. I offer dog walking, playtimes, and dog sitting. I love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I have experience administering pills and am open to learning how to care for dogs with additional needs while carefully following their specific care instructions. I’m a student at Towson University and a mom, so my schedule is planned around my classes and family responsibilities. I’m happy to communicate my availability in advance and work with you to find times that fit your dog’s routine. I’m flexible with walks, playtimes, and sitting, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your dog’s usual schedule and daily routine. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for dogs in a professional daycare environment. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, including dogs who need lots of exercise and stimulation. I always follow the owner’s instructions and pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs while they’re in my care.
“We were so thankful that Jasmine could stay with our frenchie Otto over the holidays while we traveled. Jasmine took wonderful care of Otto while we ere away - she provided lots of photos and updates! He was very happy and relaxed when we returned home! Definitely will be rebooking Jasmine!”
“Teana was absolutely wonderful with Mozzie. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Mozzie clearly felt comfortable and happy with her — they got along so well. I could tell she really cared about him and kept him engaged and relaxed. I’d definitely book with her again.”
“Another great experience with Cassie. I came home to two very happy and healthy girls. The peace of mind being able to travel and know they are being loved and cared for is immeasurable. She even stayed a bit long as we were delayed in getting home and made sure they got some extra activity before she left. I highly recommend Cassie!”
“This is the second time I used Janelle and Jess’s service. Both times they took great care of my dogs. Their professionalism and caring attitude gave me a peace of mind knowing my dogs are in good hand while I’m away. I’ll definitely recommend them for your next house/dog sitting. Thank you JJ!”
“Kija is the best! She took great care of our pup in our home while we were away for two weeks. She sent lots of updates of walks and snuggles. She also took great care of our space and left things spotless for us to come home to. I would trust Kija any day with my pup! Thanks again!!”
“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”
“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!”
“This is our second time having Elliot stay with our Bear while we were away. He is a dog whisperer! Bear is huge, leans towards reactivity and Elliot handles all aspects of his care beautifully. I highly recommend Elliot. He makes being away from our big Bear worry free!”
“Marlo did an amazing job with my two senior dogs. She went above and beyond my expectation. One of my senior dogs wasn't feeling well and went out of her way to attend to him. She kept me updated the whole time and sent pictures. She is super friendly and trust her completely to contact her again for a house sitting.”
About: My own senior dog is a rescue who has had special needs throughout her life, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and really paying attention to what an animal is communicating. I’ve learned to recognize their needs and boundaries and understand that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family over the years, and one of the best compliments I hear is, “Our pet seems to really love you!” I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I treat every pet as an individual and give them the patience, attention, and affection they need. I am available for pet sitting, drop-ins or walks around my work schedule - my shifts are between 6-8 hrs Mon-Fri, so your pet will never have to wait too long for me to get back for a walk, feeding, or play time :) Weekends are typically more open and flexible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Having cared for my own rescue dog with special needs for many years, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. I want every pet in my care to feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and communicate with you so you know how things are going while you’re away.
“Thank you Shirley for taking such great care of our very energetic puppy! Shirley came on time to the house sitting and was super responsible through out the whole sitting! She even brought cute little dog treats! 😊”
“Paige did an amazing job watching our 3 big dogs! We were away for 4 days and never once were we worried about our pups! She settled right into their routine and sent us so many pictures of them. This was our first time using river and Paige and we will definitely be rebooking any time we need her!”
“Gervon in a tremendous Dogsitter. He was communicative, kind, and attentive. He accommodated the medical needs of our pets, too. He even cleaned the sheets before he left! We highly recommend Gervon.”

The only person for my boy, Tex. Great communication, extremely kind, follows all requests to a T and they were copious: from keepijg his tv playlist goijg to making aure his dumb but doesnt walk in front of car out of nowhere...he does ( and he apparently did), and she accommodated 3 different schedule changes. Highly recommend and completely trusted for in home as the old man has terrible anxiety...and so does Tex!
Jennifer took great care of Nymeria! She was on time and gave constant updates throughout the evening and the next morning. Nymeria was very calm and relaxed after our trip due to running around with her to make sure she got her energy out. Will definitely be booking again!
Stokeley did a great job with my dog Rocky. Rocky is older with heath issues and special food requirements, and Stokeley had no issues with the needed care for Rocky. He kept in constant contact with me and gave me regular updates on how Rocky and the day was going. I'd recommend Stokeley for pet sitting and will be using him again for my next trip away.

FAQs for House Sitting - Whitemarsh Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Whitemarsh Estates on Rover is $33.71 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,905 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Whitemarsh Estates. 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 Whitemarsh Estates 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 Whitemarsh Estates 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 Whitemarsh Estates 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.
