“Autumn did a great job with my 2 cats! I felt at ease knowing she would have be caring for them. She sent multiple photos of both cats at all visits. She is punctual and professional. I highly recommend and will be rebooking soon.”
“Jillian is an outstanding cat sitter!! She took care of my two cats, Hana & Pachi for six days, and she did an amazing job. Jillian is a great communicator. She's very conscientious. She gave my cats lots of love, affection, playtime, and scritches. I will absolutely hire Jillian again!”
“Kayla did a great job with my cat, Toby! I went out of town for two days and she stopped by and played with him both days and took the cutest photos of Toby. She was very communicative. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Sarah did an amazing job looking after my ~9 month old cat while I was gone! She sent lots of photo updates to let me know that things were okay, and the my baby seemed very well taken care of. She cleaned the litter box and gave her lots of fresh water, just like I asked. I would definitely use her services again!”
“The kitties were well taken care of. Appreciated the quick and concise communication and all of the toys she brought for the kitties to burn their energy with! I got some great recommendations for some new toys to buy them! Also appreciated how clean everything was when we came home!”
“Anastasia was absolutely outstanding! She was able to accommodate our last-minute booking and took wonderful care of our two cats, including our 10-week-old kitten, who needs a little extra attention. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: Hey 👋🏽 I’m returning to Rover after a big move to Baltimore City! 🏙️ Originally from the DMV area, I am now accepting new clients in the Baltimore City and County areas. Over the past 6 years, I have taken care of a variety of dogs from 10 lbs to over 150+ lb, and usually sit or walk 2-3 dogs at a time. I am currently available to book Monday-Friday during business hours of 8am-6pm for dogwalking and drop in visits. If you are interested, in dogsitting, where I stay with your pup in your home, I am also available for all days but I will disclose I do work 6-7 hours on the weekends. I do not house dogs in my home but in a client’s home I am usually informed about making sure certain backyard doors or fences are sealed off. I also make sure to put up any gates in the house to avoid any damage the dogs might cause. I am currently available for walks, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week days. This includes Mon-Fri during 8am -6pm. I am unavailable on weekends at this moment. My services make sure your furry family continues their daily routine of meals, walking, indoor playtime and tend to any medical conditions they might have. This is to establish trust with you (owner) and your pet as a responsible care taker.
“Emily was very responsive and made time to come over the night before to meet Corby and pick up the key. She took great care of our pup making sure she had plenty of food, water and outside time. We will definitely ask her to drop in again!”
About: I have experience pet-sitting big, small, young, and senior dogs and cats. I also have work experience at the vet. I’ll treat your fur babies as my own and make sure they have a happy and safe experience! I work three 12-hours nights shifts a week as a nurse so majority of my days are available for check-ins, walks, home visits, or cuddles In my own home, I make sure the space is clean and safe for my pup before I leave. On walks with reactive dogs, I make sure to walk them in a non-stimulating area and provide encourage for good behavior. I can handle the smallest to largest of dogs, with all kinds of personalities.
About: Exercising, walking, comforting, medicine, and overall a good play session. I also have two dogs of my own right now who love to make friends! I can do evenings during the work week and anytime during the weekends! Both morning, midday, and night time. I also have a very nice space for overnight comfort I live very close to the park for any emergency potty or exercise needs and plenty of comfy furniture for your pet to relax on all day and night
“Christopher was amazing! His communication and professionalism was top notch. He kept us updated with notes and pictures while we were gone so I knew my babies were in good hands. He kept their water and litter clean and played with them until they were worn out. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!”
About: Note: I live in downtown Baltimore but work in Arlington, VA so housesits in DC/Virginia are ideal. Hi! I’m Serena, a dependable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes. I grew up in a home full of cats and 1 dog and was a proud cat owner for many years. Since then, caring for other people’s pets has become something I truly enjoy. Friends, neighbors, and travelers regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I always work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. My clients often tell me they appreciate my communication while they’re away. I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident they’re in good hands. Outside of pet sitting, I’m an avid gardener with over 30 indoor plants and a vegetable garden. Because of this, I’m also very comfortable caring for plants and maintaining a home while you’re traveling. At the moment, I am available full-time some weekdays during the day as well as some weekends. Please send me your dates, and I will check my calendar. My Care Style My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During visits I focus on: • feeding and fresh water • litter box or bathroom breaks • playtime and attention • monitoring behavior and wellbeing • maintaining routines your pet is used to I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away.
About: For 12 years, I cared for my 115-lb German Shepherd through every stage of his life. He was leash-reactive, so I know how to read body language, manage leash walks safely, and keep big, strong dogs under control without stress or force. If your pup pulls, lunges, or needs space from other dogs, I've handled it daily for years. I also have experience with puppies — the energy, the training, the potty breaks, and the constant supervision that comes with them. Whether your dog is brand new to the world or well into their golden years, I can meet them where they are. In his senior years, my Shepherd used a wheelchair, so I have hands-on experience with elderly and disabled pets: mobility assistance, patience with slower walks, medication routines, and the extra attentiveness aging animals need. Senior pets and special-needs pets aren't a challenge for me — they're my specialty. I'm also comfortable and experienced with cats, so multi-pet households are no problem. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, old and slow, reactive, or requires special care, they'll be safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I work from home, which makes pet care a natural part of my day. My schedule is flexible — outside of occasional virtual meetings, I can stop by your place for potty breaks, walks, or check-ins at whatever times work best for your pet's routine. My evenings are always free. If your dog stays in my home, they'll have company all day long. I'm here from morning to night, so they'll never be left alone or feel lonely. My dog Kato recently passed away, so I don’t have any pets in my home at this time. I really miss having a walking buddy so I’m excited to spend some time with your fur baby. I don't have a yard, but I have a covered outdoor patio with a doggy door and a turf potty pad, so quick potty breaks are easy anytime. For real exercise, I love taking dogs on walks around my neighborhood — walks are one of my favorite parts of pet care. I'm experienced with crating if that's part of your dog's routine; I don't have a crate of my own, so you're welcome to bring yours. My home has stairs, and your pup is welcome upstairs with me while I work and sleep — they'll be by my side, not shut away somewhere alone.
About: I’ve been around animals and pet care my entire life. My dad is a veterinarian, so growing up, I had the unique opportunity to learn about animal behavior and care from an early age. Because of that, I’ve developed a strong understanding of both dogs’ and cats’ personalities, body language, and needs. I have 8 years of experience walking dogs and providing drop-in visits, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with a variety of personalities and routines. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including tablets, ear drops, and eye drops, and I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m a proud dog and cat mom myself, so I know firsthand how much trust goes into leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Outside of pet sitting, I work in the research field at Johns Hopkins. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each pet I care for. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away! I have a flexible and hybrid work schedule, so I am able to accommodate drop in visits, walks and any other services needed. Happy to help!

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 15 years, beginning from childhood. I’ve raised cats, dogs and bunnies and have taken care of exotic animals such as iguanas! I’m employed full-time but as a hybrid worker, my job is very flexible! I understand that life happens, I’m able to accommodate last minute requests as needed :-). I currently live in a building that has two dog parks as well as plenty of open area to take the dogs out for walks as needed. We also have a doggy bath area so I can also give your fur baby a spa day if needed!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Baltimore
Cleo took to Eileen immediately during our meet and greet. Eileen has the calm demeanor that Cleo, an older cat, appreciates. With no prompting Cleo parked herself in Eileens lap immediately. I felt very secure leaving Cleo overnight trusting Eileen to spend some time with her in my absense.
Sheila is very patient with my standoffish Siamese girl, Luna. Sheila is understanding and kind with Luna, and often brings over new cat toys for her to try and play with. I always love and appreciate the pictures, too, especially when I’m away from home and missing my kitty. Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Baltimore is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $30 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,015 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Baltimore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

- 86% 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.
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.
