“Helen is a delight! She came over to meet Gus the day before her engagement. Gus loved her and brought her one of his toys when she arrived. We will be asking her to take care of Avis again in the future.”
“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
“I highly recommend Amanda to take care of your dog!! She was great and communicated every day with me to assure Sampson was doing well! She took him for long walks and toom really good care of my sweet boy!! She is so nice and sweet and modified my visit since I didn't realize we would be getting home earlier than expected from our trip! I will definitely book her again the next we go away!! 5 Star Performance!!!!”
About: I've had pets all my life and I'm starting to care for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different breeds and sizes. I currently work full time, I work 1 day remote at home and 4 days in the office. I will make plenty of time to be there for your fur baby though. I am very active, I go running, take long walks as well as hiking with my pup. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to have company. Any special needs, diets or behaviors I will need to know in order keep your fur baby happy and comfortable.
“Grateful to Tabitha for taking care of Luna and Oliver while we were out of town! Luna was happy for the company and both cats were well taken care of during the visit.”
“Ryan and Brittanie are fantastic! I knew as soon as they met my girl she was in good hands!! Both of them have great communication… and photos! I could tell my pup was having a fantastic time with their drop-in visits. We’ll definitely book in the future and recommend to anyone local.”
“Sean was everything you could hope for when traveling without your pet. He was very communicative, prompt and professional and left us feeling that Ellie was in great hands.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life ranging in size from a pug to english mastiffs. My last mastiff had epilepsy so no medical issue is too big for me to handle. I am a recent college graduate looking to make some extra money while looking for a job. I currently have a lot of time on my hands so I am keeping busy by helping other pet owners! Both of my dogs are friendly, but the size of my mastiff Boh can intimidate other dogs. He is a very sweet boy just large. I am able to bring them over to my fenced in yard or come to you and hang out with your pup.
“Madison is delightful and trustworthy. She did a wonderful job with our 3 cats, including coaxing out our notoriously shy boy and managing multiple meds for our 17-year-old girl. Would not hesitate to hire again.”
“This was my first time using Rover & first time using someone that was family/friends to watch Elli. Couldn’t have asked for a better choice than Nia! She was exactly on time with each visit and sent the best pics. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I've house sat my sisters 100 pounds saint bernard before for a couple days. My family had a black lab that lived to be 14 and I helped take care of him and we have a 4 year old German shepherd who we have had since he was a puppy. I am currently unemployed so I am available anytime during the week from Monday to Thursday to walk or watch your dog or dogs and I am always vigilant when watching pets. I have a small fenced in yard and I take my dog for a walk everyday at noon and I am always vigilant and make sure that dogs don't get into anything
“Odessa took excellent care of our dog! She was responsive and attentive, sending us pictures and updates throughout our time away. We were very pleased, and will definitely be using her again! Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was a great repeat walker for us! AlaHs responsive, and she followed my pedantic neighborhood dog rules to a T (again lol I'm so sorry but great work), avoiding the houses she had to avoid, etc. I would trust her again!”
“We needed a sitter last minute and Hollie was just the right person. She took care of our cats and even helped out when we forgot something. Hollie is definitely the person to get to watch your animals.”
“Shania was very easy to work with for this booking. She communicated well with me during my vacation and she left my home looking neat and orderly. My kitties loved her!”
“Victoria was great with our two cats! She was very communicative and gave great, thorough updates, followed all instructions, and we came back to happy, healthy kitties. Will definitely rebook drop ins with Victoria in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Catonsville
Helen was amazing! I'm so glad I found her on Rover. She responded to my initial query quickly and with a friendly and professional demeanor. She offered to come by and meet my cats and receive care instructions and was very easy to schedule with. Throughout the process, before during and after my trip out of town, she responded quickly to all my texts and was very kind about my nervousness about leaving my cats at home alone together for an extended period for the first time, providing plenty of reassurance and listening to all instructions with care. She sent great text and photo updates with each visit and followed all the care instructions to the letter and exactly on time for each visit, and she treated my home with care while she was here. I could not have asked to find a better sitter! I will definitely reach back out to her for all my future pet-sitting needs.
Amanda was amazing. We just got a new kitten where she watched our other cat in the past. She wanted to come over before the trip to make sure she knew how they were getting along and the routine. Amanda was on time with the visits and we really appreciated her reaching out for questions we didn’t cover and double checking on the room temperatures to make sure our little ones were comfortable and happy. She’s a very thoughtful and caring cat sitter. That meant a lot coming home to our cats who were very relaxed and not stressed from us leaving for a week.
Sophie is amazing! We totally forgot to book someone for our sweet Asher, Sophie was super responsive, and was able to help in a pinch, because of our mix up. She’s always great with Asher, provides plenty of photos and he loves hanging out with her! 100% recommended!
Lorraine took excellent care of our four cats while we were away for a week. Communication was prompt and reliable, and all instructions were followed with great care. Lorraine went above and beyond by spending extra time cleaning and giving our fur babies additional attention. We are extremely pleased with the service and will absolutely book again.
This was our first time using Rover for our cat Walt. He is slow to warm up to people but Tabitha was great at the meet and greet just going at his pace and not forcing anything. She stopped by for 2 visits and by the second one he was less shy and approached her more easily. I would definitely recommend Tabitha as she was available on short notice and reliable.
Mel took perfect care of our Ety, communicated proactively before, during and after the booking, and thankfully was flexible and worked with me when I got the dates of our trip wrong. Great to have a cat sitter we can rely on near us in Halethorpe, will book again
Kudos to Ryan for coming to our house for a meet and greet with our dog ahead of time. Quinn was very comfortable with Ryan. Ryan was punctual for both the meet and greet and on the day he let Quinn out for 30 min. From the pictures Ryan took, it appeared Quinn had a great time with him. Thank you Ryan!
Samantha has watched our dog twice now and she is always so fantastic with Tahlee! She sent photos of Tahlee while I was out of town! Samantha was able to work with our schedule even with her weekend already being booked out! Absolutely recommend Samantha to house sit your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Catonsville on Rover is $21.4 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 12,072 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Catonsville. 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 Catonsville 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 Catonsville. On Rover:
- 91% 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.
