“Katie was so awesome taking care of Cooper and Sophie! She took our request on the day before we had to leave and she was so easy to work with. She put a normally anxious dog dad at peace immediately with how she was able to easily befriend both of our dogs and was instantly chilling with both of them. She was right on time, the pics of the dogs were comforting, and the dogs both looked happy and at peace. I recommend her for anyone that’s looking to have their dogs watched and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“Gabrielle was great, no complaints. She was always on time and able to provide company to my newer, shy-at-first cat. She clearly has experience with cats, and was easy to work with, responsive, and updated me on her visits. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Karla is amazing! Our dog liked her immediately and he was relaxed and happy when we returned home after his first night away ever. Looking forward to working with Karla again. She’s very conscientious and kind.”
“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!”
“Julie is great with our large dog. She befriended him quickly and he enjoys being with her. She's very observant of his behaviors and notifies us if she sees anything out of place. She's timely and sends great updates and photos.”
“Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure our babies were taken care of. She communicated extremely well and provided detailed updates w photos. Thanks again!”
“Arianna was incredible and I will 100% use her as a cat sitter going forward! She was so kind to my cat and very communicative with me about how she was doing while I was gone. I could not be happier with the care my kitty received. Thank you Arianna!”
“This is the first time we have used this site for pet sitting. We chose Sasha ans Alex for drop-in visits three times a day with some specific instructions on feeding and care. Sasha and Alex nailed it perfectly. Out pets have never been left alone over night without someone in the house. Sasha and Alex cared so well for our pets for the three days that they created a new routine that all three kiddos. We hope to use Rover and especially Sasha and Alex again in the near future. They are phenomenal. Thank you Sasha ans Alex”
“Title: Amazing Care and Attention to Detail! Review: From the very first meet and greet, Kyra made a fantastic impression on both us and our pups! She has a warm and caring energy that our dogs picked up on right away. Our husky, who loves attention, was thrilled with the scratches and pets from Kyra, and my shy little puppy, who’s usually reserved with new people, even warmed up to her quickly. Kyra's check-ins are thorough and filled with thoughtful updates, which gives us peace of mind knowing our pets are in such caring hands. If you're looking for someone who will spoil your dogs and treat them like their own, Kyra is the perfect choice!”
“Grace did a very good job of feeding and playing with our cat and giving him affection. Our cat is very fond of her so we felt completely reassured that our cat was happy when we were gone.”
About: I’m new on Rover, but not new to taking care of animals. I have my own cat, Friday, and have watched friends’ pets over the years. I’m currently working remotely, and I’m happy to wake up early or stop by after work to check on your pet. I can also arrange for lunchtime check ins. I ensure doors and windows are all closed or locked as needed and any necessary food and water are set out. I also make sure to put away any excess food or item the pet might get to.
“Courtney was great with our 9 year old German Shepherd. Very responsible, professional and timely with drop-ins. Loved the notifications and pictures. Highly recommend and will derfinetly use Courtney as our dog sitter again!”
“Vita was very professional and courteous. She went the extra mile to make sure my dogs were taken care of. Would 100% recommend for a home visit, especially for dogs that require a little extra care and attention.”
“Haley was an amazing help when I went out of town for a week! She was super flexible in meeting my kitty and getting acquainted before the visits started. She was extremely communicative and I could tell my cat got plenty of love while I was away. I can definitely recommend Haley to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter.”
“Nina was a fantastic cat sitter. She was punctual with her visits. Her daily summaries captured our cat's mannerisms and made us smile and feel like we were with our cat while we were away. The daily pictures of Garfield were of great quality. We would highly recommend Nina to any family or friends looking for a pet sitter.”

I’ve booked with Jessica multiple times, and she is always amazing! Whenever I travel, I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in the best hands. She provides multiple pictures with every visit and gives such detailed updates, so I always know how he’s doing. She’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares. I highly recommend Jessica and will continue booking with her!
Reposting my review for all to see - Dan has been someone I trust my life with for many years now. He has taken care of my two cats every time I go away for vacation or visit family, and I have never felt more secure about leaving my fur babies! The love, attention, and play that they receive from him is something that will not be found elsewhere. Dans love for animals is a compassion that is rare, and I’m grateful to have him look over my animals when needed. Look no where else, he is the one you need for your animals!
Sarah is hands-down the best pet sitter we have ever hired! We left our dog Everest and cat Eli in her care for the weekend, and she provided total peace of mind from start to finish. Her drop-in visit cards were so thorough, thoughtful, and filled with photos. She made sure Everest got plenty of exercise playing fetch (even improvising indoors when it rained!) and gave Eli so much love and playtime with his favorite wand toys. She paid close attention to every detail of their routines, feedings, and treats. We came home to very happy, relaxed pets.
I had a great experience with Margaret! She was kind, communicative, and attentive to my 3.5 month old kitten. She was flexible about the timing and spent the full visits playing with her, feeding, and cleaning her litter. She also sent photo updates, which made being away much easier. My kitten was happy and well cared for when I got home. I really appreciated her help and would book again!
Rebecca is an amazing cat sitter! She is so kind, attentive, and incredibly responsive. When my cat's automatic feeder stopped working, she handled it right away—making sure my cat got fed and fixing the machine herself. Knowing my cat was in such caring and capable hands made my trip stress-free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Baltimore on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 6,705 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Baltimore. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Baltimore stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Baltimore. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
