“Kathleen took great care of our senior cat and our home. She navigated some technical challenges with our alarm system with professionalism and good humor. Highly recommend. Will definitely re-book.”
“Nina was great! I was nervous about the concept of house sitting, but after meeting Nina she made me feel comfortable and accommodated me and what I was comfortable with. She sent me pictures all weekend and gave me updates about what the dogs were up to and how they were getting along. I would definitely re-book with her again.”

“Ella was exceptional to work with, we will definitely be rebooking!! Ella watched our two kitties over a holiday weekend and actually put my anxious mind at ease! During the meet and greet, and throughout the stay, Ella was friendly, quick to respond, and detail oriented. Our kitties have a bit of a complicated routine, but Ella kept them on track—even our anxious kitty took all of her medicines! Upon returning from our trip, it was clear that our kitties (and apartment) were well cared for! Thank you, Ella!!”
“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”
About: I truly believe pets are part of the family—and when they’re in my care, that’s exactly how I treat them. ❤️ I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including walking, drop-in visits, and caring for them in both my home and their own homes. I love getting to know each dog and figuring out what makes them happy. Whether they want to play, go for a good walk, get lots of attention, or simply curl up beside me, I’m happy to follow their lead. I’m an active, engaged pet sitter and love playing, talking to, and spending time with my furry friends. Once they’re in my care, they become part of my family. I enjoy playing with cats too, and giving them attention, but I also understand that many cats are happiest doing their own thing. I’m perfectly comfortable letting a cat have their space while keeping a watchful eye and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, fed, and cared for. My home is smoke-free, clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I keep food safely stored in cupboards and maintain a clean and sanitized environment. I’m mindful about keeping floors and common areas clean and making sure pets have a safe, comfortable place to relax. I have lengthy experience with large aquarium set ups with fish, turtles, geckos and lizards. Most importantly, I’m dependable, attentive, and respectful of your pet’s individual routine and personality. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep you updated while you’re away, and treat your home and belongings with the same care I would want someone to give mine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a playmate, a quiet companion, medication reminders, a cozy place to stay, or simply someone to keep them company—I’m happy to help. Your pets aren’t just pets to me. They’re little members of the family, and they deserve to be treated that way. 🐾 P.S. Rover is my first experience charging for pet care and that’s why I don’t have many jobs posted or reviews. Previously I traded services or offered free. I have been a Trusted Housesitters member for over 6 years. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. My current availability is as such: Flexibility during the day/evening for regular and drop in-walks, drop-in visits, pet care, 7 days a week. Holidays: Same availability and services at a modified fee. I’m also happy to care for pets in my home for doggy daycare care or boarding when the timing is a good fit. I know pets do best with consistency, so I’ll work with you to understand their normal routine and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. As my schedule changes, I will update my availability as quickly as I can. When you leave your pet in someone else’s care, trust matters. I take that responsibility seriously. Your pet’s safety and well-being will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, stick to their normal routines as much as possible, and pay attention to the little things that help them feel comfortable and secure. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well while you’re away. I treat your home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I’ll keep things clean and secure, make sure doors and gates are properly closed, and never take shortcuts when it comes to your pet’s safety. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to doing what I say I’ll do. If something unexpected comes up, I’ll communicate with you rather than making assumptions. Most importantly, I understand that your pet isn’t “just a pet.” They’re family. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, comfortable pet—and to feel confident that they were cared for with kindness, patience, and genuine attention while you were gone. Meet n Greets are required for first time services. Please allow the necessary time frames. 🐾
“Asia took care of our dog Luna over a long weekend trip. Lu is ~10 years old and has various quirks that go along with that, Asia was patient and caring with her. She administered her medication, followed our instructions, and sent us several updates. Asia was also very responsive and respectful of our home. I would recommend Asia as a pet sitter for anyone.”
“Emily took excellent care of our dog and chickens. She left the house in better condition than she found it. She provided daily pet photos and had great communication. She even expertly handled a curveball from an unexpected vendor visit while we were gone.”
“Gavin is the absolute best! He cares so much and gives thorough updates on our pups, which allows for such peace of mind while we are away from them. Our girls would welcome him back anytime!”
“Brianna was the perfect dog sitter. She sent many many updates pictures which I loved. She took care of my pup like she was her own and even alerted me quickly when she thought something may be wrong with her. I would absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone and everyone!”
“Susan took excellent care of my Boston Terrier, Max, while I was away for the holidays. He has not dtsyed away from home in a long time, so I was concerned about how he would do, but he settled right in. Thanks, Susan.”
“My old cranky kitty and my bouncy young dog love Naya! I always travel with peace of mind, knowing that Naya is in charge. We have booked Naya several times.”
“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!”
“Maria has taken care of our dog and cat twice now and is great. Our dog is epileptic and takes a lot of meds, and Maria handles it like a champ and Buruu (the dog) loves her. Can’t recommend her more.”
“Suzy was such a wonderful dog/house sitter! Incredibly communicative, so gentle and loving with Strudel, and was a wonderful house guest on top of it all. She took frame-worthy pictures, she was very punctual about all times discussed, responded quickly, was professional, and she took care of our house and kept it clean during her stay. Would not hesitate to book again!”
“Our boys were well taken care of & our boys wild child got so many long walks to the school park. House was just as we left it. Can’t appreciate you more for spending time with our needy dogs who love having human company!”

Ashley could not have been more amazing! She came for a meeting and great visit prior to dogs sitting for us, and immediately showed great skill and warmth in her interactions with our dogs. She took fantastic care of our house, and I felt completely safe and comfortable, knowing that our home and pets would be in good hands. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Steve was wonderful with Piggy and Polo! He was communicative, flexible, attentive to their routine, and sent lots of great updates and photos while we were away. He took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and made sure the pups had plenty of walks, potty breaks, and company. I really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable he was, especially since this was our first time using him. Piggy and Polo were happy and well cared for when we got home, and I would absolutely recommend Steve and use him again!
Catherine is amazing! I have 2 dogs that need a good deal of attention. I don’t travel much and typically work from home so it’s a huge deal to have someone who can stay with them when I am gone. I got regular updates and communication was great. Will book again!!
Absolutely amazing! Aleta sent me so many pictures and updates, and I could tell everyone was happy, safe, and so well cared for the entire time. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. I trust her with my babies and will be booking her again:)
Ella was exceptional to work with, we will definitely be rebooking!! Ella watched our two kitties over a holiday weekend and actually put my anxious mind at ease! During the meet and greet, and throughout the stay, Ella was friendly, quick to respond, and detail oriented. Our kitties have a bit of a complicated routine, but Ella kept them on track—even our anxious kitty took all of her medicines! Upon returning from our trip, it was clear that our kitties (and apartment) were well cared for! Thank you, Ella!!
Zachary was fantastic! Right when he arrived for our meet & greet, my dog Beau took to him immediately, it was like they’ve known each other forever. Zac stayed in my home for 3 nights and left the place exceptionally clean. He was extremely communicative and trustworthy throughout the whole stay, keeping me updated on Beau’s condition and attitude, taking him on plenty of walks, playing ball, and sending great photos and videos. I highly recommend Zachary and would absolutely book him again!
Tess was exceptionally thorough. Asked great questions for clarity and then wrote everything out to make sure we both were on the same page and she had everything correct with regards to their feeding and medication schedule. Great at communicating and updating us while away. Was very detail oriented. Greatly appreciate that she cleaned the space but was also very attentive to cleaning the dog bowls and kitten bowls and providing fresh water. We have a slobbery boy. Gave both of them plenty of love, walks, play, and brushing. Gave me such peace of mind.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Baltimore on Rover is $47.08 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,220 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.
