“I cannot say enough good things about Kimberlyn! For my cat parents - this was the first time I’ve been away from my baby for longer than three days…. Ever. I was so anxious! This was my first time using Rover, and Kimberlyn made the whole process a breeze. I mean really and truly, she mitigated my separation anxiety in a way that I will forever be grateful for. She was willing to meet my cat prior to the sitting, she followed my *insane* care instructions well, constantly went above and beyond, and from the five pictures I received every day I could SEE that my sweet boy fell in love with her. I mean, truly - no notes for Kimberlyn. I loved her, my kid loved her, and in the event that I have a last minute trip again I will ABSOLUTELY be requesting Kimberlyn.”
“Kal has been a dream come true—I cannot praise her highly enough. My cats are very shy and can be anxious when I’m not around. Kal went above and beyond to meet them at their comfort level and help them feel secure. For the first time in their five years of life, they actually came out to interact with a sitter. That’s the kind of energy Kal has. From booking through sitting, she has been extremely thorough, detail oriented, and easy to communicate with. I feel so much better knowing that my boys have her to hang out with while I’m away. Your pets new favorite spare human indeed! Thank you so much Kal ❤️🐾”
“Gabrielle was amazing!! She took such good care of my 2 cats. Even when she was sick for a few days, she still made sure to take care of them well. I would highly recommend her as a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have 10+ pet sitting experience from taking care of newborn puppies, dogs in heat to senior dogs. I love to earn the trust of the pup pups, so that we all have a great time together. Available for morning + afternoon walks. i work from home so at home pet sitting is a way to have company while still at home. I will always respect the care instructions from the parents. Aside from that, I will always provide a clean and safe environment for your pup.
“Great sitter. It was the first time leaving our cat since we got him, and we felt very comfortable with James. Even our cat warmed up to him immediately.”
“Kathleen was terrific with Miles, appreciatively followed all instructions and was very communicative. Looking forward to booking with her in the future!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Tanner did a great job of watching after my cats for a week. He is very responsive and does everything we ask with kindness and enthusiasm. He is a regular fur-baby sitter for us because of his reliability. And the cats seem to enjoy seeing him!”
“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.”
“Nina was so wonderful in taking care of my elderly cats! She kept them fed and happy, and provided ample play time! I think they might like her more than they like me now.”
“We had an emergency and we’re away from home longer than expected. I contacted Catherine who went to tend to our kitties on short notice and eliminated that worry for us. She saved the day!”
“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.”

SJ was able to fill in for us last minute to watch out three kitties for the weekend (they also regularly check in on our doggy throughout the week). They are super responsive and easy to communicate with, very reliable, and take such good care of our pets. Would highly recommend!!!
Ned is fantastic and our normally quite cautious cats warmed to him very quickly. He took his time to make them feel safe. He documented every visit in great detail and we were glad to know they were in good hands while we were away. Ned even let them out on a leash. Could not be happier or more grateful!
Jasmine is so fabulous! She is extremely smart, so she was thoughtful about how to introduce our dog to another dog she was taking care of (which worked out great). She loves animals and our Tucker really enjoyed staying with her! We appreciated the videos and photos. Jasmine was easy to work with, easy to connect to, and an overall kind and wonderful dog sitter! We look forward to seeing her again, and we know Tucker will too!
Margaret did a great job checking in on Layla while we were out including taking her out for the bathroom, giving her attention, and feeding her. Margaret was very communicative and responsive, which was helpful. She also clearly loves animals! We’ll be sure to ask her again to check in on Layla if we need in the future!

Kimberly is absolutely wonderful! Both of my cats loved her! One of my cats is typically skittish and hides from new people, but you would have never known that with Kimberly because he warmed right up to her and even let her pet him which speaks volumes about how comfortable she makes animals feel. She did a great job at caring for my cats and giving my diabetic cat his insulin shots. I loved that she gave thorough updates and great pictures. I highly recommend booking with her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Baltimore on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 6,807 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
- 98% 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.
