“Kelly good great care of my sweet older boy Murphy. She answered text quickly and sent pics. She followed my care instructions and my house was exactly as we left it when we returned. I will definitely hire Kelly again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Serena! She treated my pet like her own—so attentive, patient, and caring. I got regular updates that really put me at ease, and I could tell my dogs and cats were happy and comfortable the whole time. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats in home settings. I’ve watched dogs for multiple days, including both weekdays and weekends, handling feeding, walks, and maintaining their normal routine. Occasionally watched over more than one dog at a time. I also have experience with watching cats and ensuring they are taken care of multiple days at a time. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. Since I work full-time during the day, I’m best suited for pets that are comfortable being alone during work hours and thrive with consistent morning, evening, and overnight care. My goal is to keep your pets safe, relaxed, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, so I focus on providing reliable morning, evening, and overnight care. My mornings and evenings are structured and consistent, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and attention. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can spend additional time with your pets while maintaining their schedule. I keep my calendar organized and only take on a limited number of clients to ensure each pet receives dependable, consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and care instructions carefully to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide morning and evening care, along with overnight presence when booked for house sitting. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“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 am an enthusiastic pet lover and have lots of experience walking dogs. I am temporarily living in Parkville, MD. I am accepting one-time or temporary repeat clients (around 3 months). I currently have no pets but love spending time with dogs and cats. I work outside of 9-5 work hours, and am often off during the week, so my schedule is flexible. I will ensure to provide a safe and comfortable experience for your pet. I am unable to bring your pet into my own home but am adaptable and willing to work with you on caring for your furry friend at your residence.
“Janellle and her sister are a God send! They took wonderful care of our fur babies-2 cats and 2 dogs. One dog is a senior with food allergies and required eye drops. They took both dogs for multiple walks and played and loved on our cats. We were out of the country for four days and they took care of our home as if it was their own. I highly recommend them to care for your fur family any time. They sent us pics while we were away and it kept us at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation because we knew our cats and dogs were happy and cared for…we will definitely use them again and you should too!!”

About: I’ve grown up in a home with dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life.

I understand the importance of keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m happy to provide loving attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and care based on each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your furry family members with the same love and care I give my own!

“Addison stayed at our home for one week while caring for our two doodles, and she did an absolutely wonderful job. She provided daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions carefully and treated our dogs like they were her own. When we returned, our pups were happy, healthy, and clearly well loved—and our home was just as we left it, which we truly appreciated. Addison is reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Addison and would absolutely book her again!”
“Jeff really went above and beyond this visit. First off, my cat was not doing well and needed a same-day vet appointment. Jeff took him to the vet and ended up needing to be there for a couple of hours. He called me to tell me about the appointment, plus gave my cat needed meds, and even went to the store to buy cans of tuna for him to eat! He is really caring and concerned. Highly recommend.”
“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful and took excellent care of our girls! She provided updates and pictures for us daily and appreciate her so much for taking such good care of them! We returned home to happy and relaxed pups and look forward to booking Lindsay again in the future!!”
“Jennifer was awesome! She did a wonderful job of taking care of LouLou She also left the house in great order and kept me updated with LouLou. I would definitely use her again.”
“Heidi is wonderful! I was anxious about leaving my boys for over a week, but after our first meeting, I knew they were going to be well cared for. She was responsive and provided updates. I will absolutely book Heidi in the future and recommend her to friends and family.”
“Right from the Meet and Greet we were very impressed with Michael - he asked some great questions about our dogs and their behaviors/routines that were an immediate indication he knows dogs well. We have two Australian Shepherds, an older Aussie with some reactivity, and a younger Aussie who is still in training and with tons of energy. He kept them engaged, active, and worked on some training. If he can manage our crazy boys, I'm confident he can handle just about any dogs! He provided dog/house sitting for 1 night/2 days, and we're already booking him for future trips.”
“Amazing service. Michelle went above and beyond to take care of Peach and Lucifer (and the house) while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and flexible. I will always go to Michelle first if I am in need of house sitting, dog walking, etc.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Woodlyn Meadows is $35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $36 per night.

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 Woodlyn Meadows 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 Woodlyn Meadows 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 Woodlyn Meadows 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 Woodlyn Meadows. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
