About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. My family has owned dogs throughout my life, and I currently have two cats of my own. Through both personal and family experience, I have cared for pets of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I am a responsible, dependable, and caring person who understands that every pet has unique needs. Whether itâs feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I will make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets while youâre away, and I strive to provide reliable care and peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As a high school athletic trainer, my schedule becomes much more flexible during the summer when school is out. This gives me additional time throughout the week to dedicate to caring for pets and ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I enjoy staying active, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins into my daily routine comes naturally. As a pet owner myself with two cats, I understand the importance of consistency and reliable care. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, a long walk, or extra companionship while youâre away, I have the time and flexibility to make sure they are well cared for and comfortable. I do not take care for animals in my home due to two cats already at home. In your home, I will be respectful of your space and the time that I have with your pet

About: Growing up, caring for animals wasnât just a hobbyâit was a responsibility I took on from a young age. Since I was 10 years old, Iâve been helping stray animals by providing food, basic care, and safe spaces whenever possible. That early experience shaped my deep understanding of animal behavior, especially with shy, anxious, or previously neglected pets. In addition to hands-on experience with strays, Iâve volunteered at pet rescue organizations where I assisted with feeding, cleaning, socializing animals, and preparing them for adoption. This has given me experience with pets of all temperaments, including those who need extra patience and attention. Pet sitting has become a steady and meaningful part of my daily routine while I am unemployed. It gives structure to my day, keeps me active, and provides a sense of responsibility. Caring for animals, managing feeding schedules, and ensuring their comfort helps me stay productive while also earning some income and maintaining a positive mindset during this transitional period. --- I do not have pets of my own, but I provide attentive and reliable care for pets in both my home and my clientsâ homes, depending on the service requested. In a clientâs home, I follow all provided instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs, while also ensuring the home remains clean and secure. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with regular supervision, exercise, and consistent routines to help pets feel at ease. My focus is always on maintaining the petâs normal schedule and providing a calm, caring experience.

We sit outside with them while they roam around in the woods. I also love to take Lola out of structured walks in our local park.

I have so much love for animals and experience in senior dog care, post-surgery care, and all sorts of cat care :) I also have watched bunnies!! I work full time as a therapist but full time looks different as a therapist, I work about 25 hours a week so I have lots of time to drop by and check on your animal(s) or take âem out for a walk! I approach every animal with love and respect for their boundaries! I am a huge animal lover and my empathy I would say is my strong suit for both my full time job and this one :)

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Baltimore
Incredible service. Harsh is professional, timely, respectful and compassionate. He arrived early to the initial Introduction and was in constant communication throughout. He took the time to meet and introduce himself to all my pets and asked follow up questions regarding care and schedules. When it came time for the visits, Harsh was incredibly kind and thoughtful to all pets, and very accommodating to their needs. By the time we got back home, our pets didn't even notice we were gone since he took such good care of him. They fell in love in 2 days! We will absolutely be booking with Harsh anytime we need someone to come care for our home!

Marisa is the greatest! She took wonderful care of our three animals (two cats and a dog) while we were out of town and kept an eye on our home. She is conscientious, friendly, and communication was perfect. Our animals absolutely loved her, and our normally water-hating dog even went out in the rain with her for a walk! She even picked up mail and let us know about minor issues with the house and trash can while we were away. As long as Marisa is available, we will continue to book with her. Thank you!!!

Karla did an amazing job with our brand new puppy! I had to book her last minute which I was nervous about not having met her but she kept us updated along the way, sent a ton of pictures, and reassured us that our babies were taken care of. Will 100% book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Baltimore is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 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 petâs 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 6,369 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Baltimore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your petâs routine and the sitterâs 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 petâs 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 Baltimore 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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 doesnât 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.
To find sitters in Baltimore with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days youâd like them to care for your pet.

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 sitterâs 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, youâll 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.
