About: My experience is as a dog walker at a shelter in Maryland. I have two dogs of my own, both rescues, and one of which is a recent amputee! Dog walking at the shelter and my own dogs I believe has given me ample experience. I work from home so my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to do a drop in visit or go for a walk when you need! I can easily take your pup for a walk, spend some time with them or let them out for a potty break while you are away!
“Destiny was fast to communicate and kind! Loved the care she took with our dog and her thorough drop in updates. She also was unbelievably understanding and flexible when I accidentally shared the wrong address with her. Cannot recommend her services enough.”
About: I provide calm, reliable, and attentive care for pets of all ages and personalities. With hands-on experience in puppy training, senior pet support, and special-needs care, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for every animal I meet. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and supported while giving you total peace of mind. Whether it’s playful energy for puppies, quiet companionship for seniors, or structured care for anxious pets, I adapt to what each unique pet needs. ☺️ As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide flexible and consistent care for your pets. I have plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship, and I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine. Since I don’t work outside the home, your pet gets reliable supervision and attention whenever they need it. I create a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, provide close supervision, and use secure handling on walks and during play. In your home, I respect your space and stick to your instructions so your pet stays relaxed and happy. My focus is always on keeping pets safe, loved, and well-supported.
“Lina has been taking care of Ozzie for years, and we feel so fortunate to have her. She brings genuine passion, care, and love to every visit & Ozzie is always excited to see her! I have complete peace of mind knowing my pet is in such good hands. Thank you, Lina, for everything you do.”
About: I have experience with large and small dogs, and several other animals, like pigs and hedgehogs! Raised with large dogs and love taking pups on long walks. I work part time and help my wife with their business, mainly working from home. I have plenty of time to take out your animals and provide them with any care they need. Crating, simple training, or just giving your elder dog company, I have patience and time for any pup. I can also send picture and video updates so you’ll never have to worry about your animals while you’re away!
“This was Connor's first visit with our girls Kiwi and Rio. He was on time, followed protocols and communicated promptly. Very happy about all 3 of those things! We have scheduled another visit soon.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my two rescued dogs that me and my family rescued 12 years ago. I also have experience petting my friends dogs, cats, and chickens! I am currently unemployed and trying to make pocket money and save for travel so i will use all my time looking out for your fluffy children. I offer drop in visits and walks. I will personally make sure your pet is fed, played with, walked, loved, happy, and well cared for.
About: I've grown up around animals (cats, dogs, & snakes) and actively cared for them for as long as I can remember! I currently own 2 cats and foster three more, one of whom has special needs. My partner and I also have a room full of fish tanks, both fresh and saltwater, so finned friends are no problem. I have owned reptiles previously, so I am open to a wide variety of pets (or plants) in all shapes and sizes. My availability is very open, since pet-sitting is my primary job. Weekends or weekdays work equally well for me. I will structure my schedule around whatever pet I am house-sitting for, to give you the peace of mind that they're healthy and happy while you aren't home. Each animal is unique— I love spending quality time with them so I can get to know their individual personalities and quirks. I enjoy putting in the extra effort to earn their trust. I am experienced with elderly pets, and can give medications if necessary. I can help maintain long-haired pets' coats. I have seen all sorts of pet-related messes, and I have no problem cleaning them up. I will gladly learn the needs of each pet, and adapt to make them as comfortable as possible while you're away!
About: I've been known affectionately as the 'animal charmer', despite having never grown up with a dog and resenting my parents for it. ALways gravitated towards them the most. The more that I've developed and grown as a human being, the more I tend to believe that dogs really are healing to people and vice versa!! Caring and nurturing is natural for me and quite frankly it's an honor. My routine is flexible; I am currently DoorDashing while navigating a career change and I will be more than happy to help in any way! I am an honest person who values personal privacy, care and safety at all times and at almost any cost. Furthermore, I will try to work diligently as well as give my best effort in order to be very respectful of pet space and time. I’m currently navigating a career change and am delivering DoorDash in the meantime, which leaves plenty of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I can make drop in visits, or provide 24/7 on-site care if need be! As a sensitive person, I am very attuned to my peaceful environment and will be more than happy to treat both your fur babies as well as your living space with the utmost care and respect. I’m happy to do solo drop-in visits or provide house-sitting as needed. Please message for details! :)
About: Hi, my name is Makhayla! I’m a caring and dependable cat and dog sitter with over 6 years of experience looking after pets of different personalities and needs. I recently moved to the area and am excited to help local pet owners with loving, reliable care. My 7-year-old daughter has grown up around animals with me, which has helped teach patience, gentleness, and responsibility when caring for pets. I’m flexible with potty breaks and daily routines, and I’m comfortable caring for pets that may need medication or extra time to adjust. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I’m A Stay At Home Mom So I’m Mainly Home So If You Guys Want Me To Stay Home Then I Will But While We’re Home They’ll Still Get Plenty Of Exercise If Needed And Fun. If I Have Plans Throughout The Day I’ll Keep You Informed. I Have A Backyard But The Fence Isn’t All Around So It’s An Open Backyard So I Would Need A Leash. If You Have To Bring A Crate Or Bed I Have Room In My Room For All Of That And Also They’re Allowed To Be On My Bed If They’re Used To That.
About: Hi! My name is Esther and I am a current grad student with multiple years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes in the comfort of their home. I specialize in drop-in visits and overnight stays for pets, whether it’s one on one or if you have multiple fur babies! I have experience with both XL and smaller breeds and multi-pet homes. I currently don’t have any pets of my own (working on it!) but I love volunteering at BARCS in my free time. I do have a full time job that will be transitioning to hybrid soon, but for now I am available for all your early morning/late night and weekend needs! Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I’m currently working full time, with early morning and evening availability. I will be transitioning to hybrid soon that would give me more flexibility with my schedule. I am also available for weekend and overnight services. I understand how big of a deal it is to entrust your pets to others, and I prefer to care for your pets in the comfort of their home following all of your requests and preferences!
“Heidi was amazing with King!! She was very attentive, always on time, and was great with communicating and sending pictures of King. We will definitely be looking to use Heidi again!”
About: I've owned animals my entire life, every size and age of dogs, cats, and exotics. I currently live with my mini husky Luci, and my three guinea pigs Skye, Raze, and Sage. I am currently a free-lance caretaker for both children and animals, meaning my schedule is completely flexible and will be predictable enough to quickly schedule tasks. My time will be dedicated to the tasks of the day or week completely. I cannot board due to the fragile bond between my mini husky and my guinea pigs living together, unfortunately other animals of either kind may be a danger to this dynamic. I have my own transportation to drop in anywhere, however.
About: My experience includes… • dog walking (short and long walks) • feeding • interactive play • administering medication • bathing and grooming (large and small dogs/ some cats) Im currently a part time college student, so my schedule is pretty open. I’m available 4 days out of the week, but I can be flexible. I love going on walks and I love animals, so taking your fur baby for a stroll would be my pleasure. Before sitting in a clients home, I like to become familiar with what their pet’s day to day life looks like. I like to know what the pet is comfortable/uncomfortable with. I also like to familiarize myself with their feeding/ medication schedule. My goal is to make sure that all pets that I care for are safe and happy. For dogs that are able to, I ensure at least one 15-20 min walk per visit, and maybe even a visit to the dog park if there is one within walking distance. Interactive play is also something that I like to incorporate, whether it’s outside or inside! I can also get pets in and out of crates if need be.
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.
About: I'm located off interstate 95 making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Baldwin is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 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.

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.
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 Baldwin 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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
