“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Hollie is the absolutely best. All three of our kids just love her, hang out, and are their (sometimes unfortunately) true selves around her. She deals with our often cantankerous older gal and our troublemaker with aplomb, while still giving love to our little doll. There are no worries at all when Hollie is here with our babies!”
“We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!”
“Kaitlin did a wonderful job staying in our home with our dog and cat. We had a meet and greet at our house prior to our vacation and our pets both seemed comfortable with her immediately. After the meet and greet she sent us detailed notes for us to review to ensure she captured the details and nuances of our pets. During the day she was communicative and sent photos. It was clear she treated our pets as if they were her own. When we returned our house was just as we had left it and Kaitlin even left some treats she had gotten for our dog. We will definitely be using Kaitlin the next time we go out of town!”
“Shania did a wonderful job caring for Hampton and Neko on her first stay with us. She was very communicative and kept me updated with great pictures throughout her overnight stay. I also really appreciated how she left the house in excellent condition. Highly recommended, and I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Lisa was amazing with our dog Roscoe!! We appreciated that she kept us updated with pictures and messages, it was so nice to be able to take a weight off our shoulders and know she was doing such a stellar job! Roscoe loves her and her daughter, and we were thankful that Lisa also took the time to water our plants and herbs. We’ll definitely be a repeat client, I’d recommend Lisa without any hesitation!”
“Dorothy was great with my dogs, and sent me pictures each day I was away. They loved her! I was comfortable and had little worry about how they well they would be taken care of. She may have spoiled them more then me. Would recommend her and will be using her services again.”
“Brittney was absolutely amazing. She was so nice and communicative. She sent lots of pictures and didn’t mind giving me updates. Our pups loved her and we felt so comfortable with her taking care of them!”
“Keira is so fantastic! My dog is still a little bit nervous because Keira is new, but she really takes it in stride and seems to magically make my dog more comfortable. Keira is so patient, kind, and gracious, highly recommended if your pup tends to be the nervous kind.”
“Jeanette is amazing. She cared for our dog, took him for long walks, took him with her so he had companionship during the day, and stayed with him at the house. Highly recommended!”
“Took brilliant care of my pup Pearl very last minute. Kathleen took great care of her and I came back to a happy pup. It is a big relief to have someone I trust taking care of Pearl.”
“When my other Rover cancelled on me last minute Julion happily stepped in and did an absolutely fantastic job watching my dog while I was away. Cannot say enough good things about his service and professionalism. From the pet care, daily updates, pictures, I would use him over and over and will recommend him to any and all.”
“Madison took the time to get to know our dogs are their quirks, and took excellent care of them and our house. Super responsive and knows how to work with “difficult personalities” and definitely won our dogs over. Will definitely rehire. Thanks Madison.”
“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.”

“Addy was so patient with our anxious dog, she kept us updated, and I could tell that our dog was very well loved while we were gone. I’d recommend Addy to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner most of my life and have taken care of pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I am the one they always rely on to care for there’s pets and I hope to do the same for you. I’m currently looking for a job, so I will have lots of free time to care for your pets, and with flexible scheduling to what days you might need. Caring for pets at the client’s home I would make sure to ask where they keep the food, treats, toys for the pets, and cleaning supplies just in case if they make an accident by chance.
“Sean is a wonderful pet sitter. Not only did he take such great care of our two dogs, he also looked after our geckos and fish without complaint. Sean left our house spotless! He is a great communicator and sent daily pictures and updates. It is evident that Sean truly cares for animals, and I won't hesitate to ask Sean to watch our pets again in the future!”

Hollie went above and beyond to keep both of my cats happy and me at peace while on vacation. She was communicative and sent so many cute photos! Hollie also took care of my apartment and even washed her towels and sheets before I got home. We can’t wait to have her house sit again soon!
Truly will love and treat your pet/pets like her own. Our dogs are obsessed with her and we always know they’re getting exactly the care they should when we’re away. After several check in visits, Madison just house sat for us for the first time, and can’t say enough good things! Perfect balance of communication and check ins, while also allowing us to be away and focus on our trip. Madison will always be our go to for our 3 dogs!
Mary was so great with our dogs! She gave them plenty of attention all day long. She went the extra mile taking them for walks, dressing them in costumes, and sending us lots of updates. We didn’t worry for a second about the care our dogs were receiving while we were in our trip. We will be recommending her services to our friends and family! We will definitely be booking her for our future boarding needs. Thank you Mary!
Jerad was amazing and I’m so glad we had him watching over our two fur babies while we were away! He kept in contact with daily updates and did everything we asked from giving the dogs plenty of play time as well as walks. We felt completely at ease being away on vacation and we will definitely being booking Jerad again in the future when we need to be away!
Keira is so fantastic! My dog is still a little bit nervous because Keira is new, but she really takes it in stride and seems to magically make my dog more comfortable. Keira is so patient, kind, and gracious, highly recommended if your pup tends to be the nervous kind.
Julion was an amazing dog sitter! He took incredible care of our dog, Chance, our big 115-pound pup, while we were away. He was very attentive and even made sure to be mindful of the heat and hot pavement during walks, which we really appreciated. He sent us daily updates with lots of pictures, giving us complete peace of mind and letting us see how happy Chance was throughout our trip. When we got home, the house was spotless and exactly as we left it. It’s clear that Julion is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about both the pets and the homes he looks after. We would absolutely book Julion again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter!
Tabitha was great with our puppy and cat. She took our puppy out so frequently that he only had one accident ( that doesn’t happen for us). She was very communicative and sent pictures everyday. She left the house perfect and Teddy was his happy self when we got home. We will definitely use her again.
Cashae was a wonderful sitter for our 2 pups!! She is a Dog Lover for sure! She took great care of our dogs. She was with the dogs 24/7. It meant a lot to me knowing that Cashae was a perfect fit as a dog mom, while we were gone for awhile...I highly recommend Cashae!!?
Sara did such a lovely job of taking care of our two dogs/house sitting for an extended week. Dogs were obviously well looked after, they took to her immediately, we received frequent updates with pictures, and the house was exactly how we left it (even slightly cleaner). Would highly recommend Sara, and we'd love to have her care for our pets in the future.
We were very happy with Sean as a pet sitter for Bruno, our American Staffordshire Terrier, who is very anxious with new people. Sean's patience and understanding helped Bruno relax quickly. Sean sent daily updates and photos of Bruno playing in the yard and chilling on the couch. Sean also finished giving Bruno the final doses of medication for an UTI developed just before our vacation. We will definitely use Sean in the future.

FAQs for House Sitting - Catonsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Catonsville on Rover is $55.5 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 7,850 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Catonsville. 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 Catonsville 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 Catonsville 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 Catonsville 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.

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.
