“This was the second time we booked Ned to petsit our dog. We are so glad we did! We loved the daily updates and he even made our dog chicken and rice when she had some tummy troubles. He also kept our plants and basil alive, and even washed the bedding and towels he used (which he did not have to do at all)! We’re so glad we found Ned on Rover and will definitely be our go to pet sitter for upcoming trips. Thank you, Ned!”
“Christina was great! she arrived on time and confirmed prior. I have never had hired a sitter before to take care of my dog because he is a puppy and a little complicated sometimes, I was worried that someone wouldn’t be as patient with him but Christina did very good with him. She sent daily updates, pictures and videos. When I came back home everything looked great and my dog was very happy as well!! I would definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in a caring sitter who puts effort into taking care of your pup. Thank you!!”

“We had a great experience with Asia. My dogs love her and she took care of them well. She sent us multiple pictures and was respectful of the house. We had her stay two nights at our house and she took care of the house and dogs well for a reasonable price. We had to take off a night initially and she quickly responded and adjusted the dates. I would 100% book Asia again.”
“Gavin was great. He loved our girls as much as we do!! He gave us constant updates on our girls along with pictures. He had to administer a last minute medication and did it successfully with care and love. He was neat and courteous of our home and I have already rebooked him for next weekend. I will not hesitate to book hm again in the future.”
“Jenna took care of my 15 year old dog, Missy. Went out of town for the holidays and Jenna helped us out with last minute pet sitting. Jenna was very understanding when our plane was delayed.

Morgan did a wonderful job caring for my two dogs for a week. She walked them and handled my leash-reactive puggle with treats to distract him from other dogs along the way. Morgan is a terrific communicator. My alarm system wasn’t working, and we had a series of texts to try and fix it. Her patience and calm demeanor were greatly appreciated! My house was tidy upon my return…I would have her sit again if she is available in the future!
Jun was quick to reply to my last minute request when another sitter fell through. He was so accommodating and friendly and our anxious pup was immediately comfortable in his home. He took the best care of our dog and sent lot of updates letting us know how he was getting along his cats and having a great time. Jin is the best can’t recommend him enough!
Super pet/housesitter! Easy to schedule, very communicative. Naya went above and beyond with taking care of our pets and our house while we were away. She sent frequent updates and our pets clearly loved having her stay with them. I hope we can use her professional services again soon!
Sabrina was AMAZING with our two sweet but feisty labs. She sent loads of pics so we could see how good a time everyone was having, and recounted all the fun stuff they did that day. She even sent report cards to let us know that they had been good boys. We highly recommend Sabrina and will definitely book her again.
Channing did a wonderful job with my chonky big boy Tanky and Mochi my chinchilla. They both were cared for per instructions and I felt confident in Channings care for them while we were away. Channing also allowed us a last minute extension of the sit & were so grateful. Very communicative, as well as very respectful of our home. Everything was left exactly as it was when we left. Thanks so much Channing!
Sunshine has been great with both of our senior animals, even taking care of accidents that have happened. They’re responsive and have addressed medication needs that arose while we were away. I cannot recommend them enough! Additionally, they have kept our house clean and brought in our mail and packages which we forgot were arriving while we were away.
Zach frequently gave us updates on the dog, and I could tell he was happy and well taken care of. We came back to a house cleaner than when we left it, and one of our neighbors even texted us to say how pleasant Zach was! He even did some work in our yard! Zach was also super accommodating with some last minute schedule changes, and came over two separate times before his stay to meet with the dog. I would definitely recommend Zachary for longer stays or dogs with higher needs!
Isabel was fantastic! I couldn't have asked for a better first experience on Rover! She was responsive, flexible when my schedule changed, and took the time to meet Gat ahead of time and to learn her routine. The updates while I was away gave me total peace of mind. I’ll definitely be recommending her to friends! Thank you, Isabel!
Sydney was a very professional and communicative when she housesat for us this past weekend. It was the first time I've ever used rover and I was very pleased. She provided us with daily photos of the dogs and was never afraid to get in touch and ask questions. We would definitely book her again.
Hannah took great car of our dog while we were on vacation. She sent frequent updates and was very communicative before and during the booking. We always have anxiety about leaving our baby while we travel but Hannah made us feel very comfortable and confident that he was in great hands!
Emily was wonderful with my pug puppy, Peaches! She watched her for the weekend, and I felt at ease knowing she was in great hands. Emily was communicative, prompt, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Would definitely book again!
Kal did an amazing job watching Sarge and Lyla. She was very attentive and sent many great updates. Having dogs that are uneasy with strangers it can be nerve racking to leave them with a sitter. With Kal, all of our worries were but to ease. Our dogs had a great time and will be going to Kal in the future! Thanks again for watching Sarge and Lyla!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Baltimore on Rover is $46.62 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,268 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Baltimore. 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 Baltimore 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 Baltimore 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 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!
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.
