About: I've watched and walked dogs for friends and family over the years. It would be my pleasure to help your furry companion get some valuable outdoor time walking or settle in with my own dog in our home while you're out of town. I do gig work and am a graduate student, but can spend quality of time with them as my schedule is very accommodating. Currently I'm making my own schedule as a gig workers and freelancer. So my day to day is extremely flexible. I make sure my own dog gets plenty of outdoor time and walk almost everywhere myself. Currently living in an apartment with a roof dog area. There are a number of dog relief areas around the neighborhood as well as a couple parks.

“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.”

About: Hello! I’m Michael, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter. From a young age, I’ve had a deep connection with animals, caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and abilities—including energetic puppies and senior pets who need extra patience and care. As a remote worker for a non-profit and an avid solo traveler, I bring adaptability, reliability, and strong communication skills to every pet-sitting experience. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, medication management, or simply offering companionship, I provide attentive and compassionate care. I also respect and maintain a clean home environment, so you can return to a happy pet and a tidy space. Past clients have praised my flexibility, clear communication, and dedication to their pets' well-being. If you’re looking for a trustworthy sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to connect! As a remote 9-5 worker, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive pet care throughout the day. I can travel to your home for pet sitting and, if it’s a workday, I’ll need to arrive by 8 AM to settle in before starting my work. Alternatively, I can arrive after work around 6 PM for evening care. While working, I’m available for regular walks, playtime, and companionship to keep your pet happy and engaged. My schedule ensures they get plenty of attention, and I’ll always provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether in your home or mine, I provide a secure and stress-free environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I take the time to understand their routines, preferences, and any special needs to ensure a smooth and familiar experience. In your home, I respect your space and maintain a clean, organized environment. I follow all care instructions carefully, from feeding schedules to medication routines, and I’m always mindful of home security, ensuring doors, gates, and leashes are properly secured. I also believe in clear and consistent communication, providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a trusting, positive experience for both you and your furry friend.

About: Hi there! I'm Sydney and I'd love to spend some time with your pet! I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and deeply miss having a pet of my own. I got my first family pet, a cat, when I was 5 years old, and since then have had dogs, guinea pigs, and birds. I have been trusted to pet sit for neighbors and friends since I was around 10 years old. Throughout the years, I have gained experience taking care of many breeds of dogs, puppies, senior dogs, kittens, and senior cats. I have experience administering some medications to both cats and dogs as well. I am reliable and trustworthy, and will love your pet like my own and certainly would be happy to take plenty of cute pictures of them to send to you while you're away! I am a freelance musician and music teacher who is new to Baltimore. In addition to this, I work a part-time lifeguarding/swim instructor job. With this being said, my schedule is variable and pretty flexible. This leaves a lot of time for me to care for your pets. Whether it be walking, playing, feeding, giving cuddles, or just keeping them company, I can almost surely find a find to work it into my schedule! I will be sure to follow any instructions given when taking care of your pet in your home. This may include medications, feeding schedule, walking schedule, potty schedule, or anything else that will keep your pet happy, safe, and comfortable. I will aim to keep their routine as close to normal as I possibly can.

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets in my community, including seniors and those with medical & behavioral needs. I’m new to Baltimore and new to Rover, and I’d love to use my skills to explore the city with your pet! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets! I am also free most evenings after 5:30, and I’m open to overnight stays. I currently cannot offer hosting pets in my home, but when I care for your pet, I truly care. I want to know their individual needs, and I know that good communication goes both ways: you can always count on updates (& cute pictures) of your pet!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a proud cat parent to my own cat, I know how much peace of mind matters when you have to leave your furry family members behind. While I'm new to the Rover platform, pet care is second nature to me—back in college, I regularly helped my classmates with pet sitting, looking after both dogs and cats. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat needs some gentle loving attention, I treat every pet with the exact same care and devotion I give my own. Because I work remotely and part-time from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I am basically free and can easily find time for your pet any day or any time. Whether it's a mid-day walk or constant companionship, we can easily figure out a routine that works best for you and your pet! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Whether I am dropping in for pet sitting or taking your dog out for an engaging walk, I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. As an experienced cat owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to respect an animal's boundaries, safety needs, and home environment. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable updates, and treating your home and pets like my own.

About: I was raised with 2 dogs—1 small, 1 quite large, and was lucky enough to be able to care for them when they transitioned into old age. I'm comfortable with dogs (and cats) of any size of any age as long as they're house trained! While my ol' boy and girl are no longer with us, I've been raising my tabby cat Pepper since he was a kitten, and I've come to learn that I'm as much a dog-person as I am a cat-person! Since I work hybrid (in the office 3-4 times a week, 1 day at home, full time), pet care is done in the off hours and weekends. How do I care for pets? By being as affectionate as I can while still upholding boundaries when necessary, and encouraging guests and other household members to interact positively with them! Animals are perceptive and so I always try to be aware of that.

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!

Luke was incredible. This was our first time with him and it exceeded our expectations. Not only was he willing to meet our anxious little kitty beforehand, but sent detailed updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We were so busy on our trip and never had to wonder if Panda was being cared for. If you are hesitant to book a Rover, I cannot recommend Luke enough for pets and especially cats!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Baltimore

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Baltimore is $20 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 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 6,589 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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 pet’s routine and the sitter’s 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 pet’s 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.

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:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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.

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.
