“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 🙂”
“Megan was awesome! She updated us with photos regularly, played with our pup, snuggled our cat, and kept them on their normal schedules. We will definitely be booking with her again. You can tell she’s a sitter that truly loves animals. 😊💕 also our place was clean and looked great. Thanks Megan!!”
“Emma was so great! She always responded quickly to messages, and was very accommodating to our needs - she came over in advance so we could meet her and introduce her to our dog, and she dealt with some unconventional dog hand-offs while we were away. She also left the house just as it was. We will definitely be reaching out to her for dog-sitting needs in the future. Thank you, Emma!”
“Zana watched our two dogs and cat for a week and we are thrilled with our experience. Zana was extremely communicative and sent great pictures along with the updates. Our elder dog got sick and Zana was a champ handling some unexpected cleanup duty, leaving our house nice and clean. We sincerely hope we can rebook Zana the next time we leave town.”
“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!”
“Emily was wonderful with my pug puppy, Peaches! She watched her for the weekend, and I felt at ease knowing she was in great hands. Emily was communicative, prompt, and kept me updated with messages and photos. I highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. Would definitely book again!”
“Emily took care of our recently adopted (reactive) dog and our two cats. This occurred around the snow/ice storm in February 2025, which caused havoc with walking the dog and being outside. Yet Emily was up to the task and we came home to a very happy dog and very happy cats! Also, when the dog got into some mischief in the house, Emily contacted me right away to let me know - which I 100% appreciated. Together we came up with a game plan. This was the responsible, honest, and careful way to proceed, which was great. I definitely would use Emily again.”
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had many animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pig & ducks!) I also pet sit for a family who had 3 cats, I have worked with them for 1 year now. I currently have an orange tabby named Theo, he is my world. Me & my spouse adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society & he has been the perfect addition to our little family. I am here to love your fur babies! Please feel reach out me with any questions. Thanks! I work a regular full time job. I have fostered 2 cats before and it was a wonderful experience. Most of the time spent with the cats, would be in the morning and all evening long after work to take care and love them. I have an apartment building that is very secure, you can only gain access the to building if you have a key fob. The animals have plenty of space to move around and be free, or sleep super comfy on my furniture.
“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.”
“Antoinette was AMAZING with my dog Rocky while I was on vacation and I highly recommend her. I found her thru Rover. She came to my house before I left to meet Rocky and to go over everything. My dog has skin allergies which he takes medication for so she gave him meds overnight. Rocky was a little upset the first day she watched him and didn’t want to eat. I had never left him before. She contacted me immediately and we came up with a plan and it worked. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day of Rocky which I appreciated. I will use her again in the future.”
“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.”
“Ana is a fantastic sitter! Trustworthy, great communication, and she is great with our dogs. She also sent us photos of our dogs throughout the stay which was very appreciated”
About: Note: I live in downtown Baltimore but work in Arlington, VA so housesits in DC/Virginia are ideal. Hi! I’m Serena, a dependable and experienced pet sitter with over 10 years of experience caring for pets and homes. I grew up in a home full of cats and 1 dog and was a proud cat owner for many years. Since then, caring for other people’s pets has become something I truly enjoy. Friends, neighbors, and travelers regularly trust me to care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that pets are family, and I always work to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their own environment. My clients often tell me they appreciate my communication while they’re away. I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your pets are doing and feel confident they’re in good hands. Outside of pet sitting, I’m an avid gardener with over 30 indoor plants and a vegetable garden. Because of this, I’m also very comfortable caring for plants and maintaining a home while you’re traveling. At the moment, I am available full-time some weekdays during the day as well as some weekends. Please send me your dates, and I will check my calendar. My Care Style My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. During visits I focus on: • feeding and fresh water • litter box or bathroom breaks • playtime and attention • monitoring behavior and wellbeing • maintaining routines your pet is used to I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and keeping your home tidy while you’re away.
“This was our first time using Jamie for in home dog sitting. We prefer this over drop ins when we take trips. Jamie came to do a meet and greet with our two senior dogs and see the house (how the doors work/backyard etc). The dogs and I felt comfortable with Jamie immediately. She’s the sweetest and very friendly!! Jamie sent pics, responded to my text messages timely and made us feel comfortable overall. Just a great experience. We will definitely request her again.”
“Kevin was fantastic! He arrived early and showered my fur baby with love. He made sure to have all of his favorite treats on hand. I would not hesitate to hire him again. If you're unsure, let this review be confirmation that Kevin is top-notch. I felt at ease leaving my pet in his care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Curtis Bay
I can’t recommend Joey enough, he did an incredible job watching our dog and cat for an entire week while we were away. He took the best care of our animals, and gave us plenty of updates and pictures! There was never a single second we worried while being away - he treated our animals as if they were his own. Thank you so much again!
Jess was excellent! We had a last minute schedule change with another sitter, and Jess kindly jumped in on short notice to help us out. Our dog, Honey, can be slow to warm up with strangers, but between the very warm welcome he gave her at the meet & greet and the daily pictures Jess sent, he was a big fan of her! Definitely will be rebook Jess in the future!
Hannah looked after our dog and cat recently and did an amazing job! She consistently checked in with any questions, gave medication, and sent daily pictures which was really appreciated. When we got home the house was also in perfect condition. She took great care of our house, watered plants, and was very thoughtful about cleaning up. We definitely plan to have her watch our girls again!
Sarah is great!! I would definitely recommend her (and already have recommended her to friends). She stayed in our house and took care of our dog. She sent daily photo and video updates of him, and she took great care of the house while we were gone. She is very communicative. Thank you, Sarah!
Emily took great care of our dog Kaia while we were away. She sent frequent updates which put our minds at ease. It was clear when we got home that Kaia had a great time with her. She seemed relaxed and content. We look forward to Emily spending time with Kaia again in the future!
Neel was great with my dog Annabelle! I highly recommend his services and highly appreciate him as he kept our place clean, and was very on top of updates and communication! I would like to add he was very flexible with the storm/bad weather on getting Annabelle outside and cared for.
Jordan is amazing! He is a great person, and took such good care of our three dogs! He constantly took them for walks, gave them lots of love, and updated us on how they were doing throughout the day. He was super flexible to help us accommodate our plans. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our babies were in great hands. We highly recommend him! Rover is very lucky to have a professional like him. Thanks for everything, Jordan!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Curtis Bay is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $59 per night. 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.

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 Curtis Bay 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 Curtis Bay 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 Curtis Bay 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 , 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 .
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 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.
