“Sophie is simply the best! She is very reliable and caring. We felt confident leaving our three cats in her care, especially our 15-year-old cat with dementia.

“Mel was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties while we were away and helped us keep an eye on a potential house issue as well. Was quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. Will definitely be booking her again!”
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
“Esther is amazing! So communicative and responsive and always keeps us in the loop. Sends amazing photos and goes above and beyond what is expected in terms of looking out for our cats and our home. Our kitties seem to love her and we definitely do too! Hope she keeps coming back to us 🥰”

“Brent took great care of our dogs while we were away. He was reliable, communicated well, and made sure they were happy and well cared for. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciated his help and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Catonsville
I cannot stop talking about how great Helen is, really. Coda is going through his teenage year and he can be a handful but Helen is so good at what she does that she has brought different toys to redirect Coda's overly excitment and has reached out to us on how to best deal with his jumping. I am so greatful that we found Helen. Codas just loves her so much.
Amanda was fantastic! She was very communicative throughout our trip and sent great Rover Cards with detailed updates and photos. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and took a lot of pride in making sure they were happy and well cared for. We would definitely recommend Amanda and would happily book with her again!
Amanda took such good care of our pets while we were away that they seemed disappointed that we had returned. I really think they were waiting for her to come back and spoil them. Amanda could not have been more professional, dependable, and attentive. She sent pictures and kept us informed about her visits. We are very picky when it comes to caring for our pets. Amanda exceeded all expectations. She is the best! Thank you Amanda!
Lorraine took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She shared really helpful updates throughout the trip and was especially attentive when she noticed a concern with one of my cats. I really appreciated how communicative, thoughtful, and reliable she was, and I felt much better knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Catonsville is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 11,858 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Catonsville. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
