“Excellent sitter. Checked in on my boys, engaged with them, kept letterboxs clean. Sent report photos promptly. My first time using this service and she made it so that i have nothing to worry about. Will definitely rebook for future check in visits. Bronte is highly recommended.”
About: As a life-long animal lover, I've had the wonderful opportunity to take care of a variety of animals over the years. I personally have 2 shih tzus of my own, Archie and Chess; I formerly volunteered at adoption events walking dogs and caring for cats; and I have been trusted by friends & family to take care of their pets. I am currently a full-time student and work sparse hours. Consequentially, Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days. Barring that, I surprisingly have very flexible availability! And no matter what, I will always prioritize your pet's care :) As a former house cleaner, I have years of experience taking care of others' homes! This has left a profound impact and, even in my personal life, I take the upmost care to ensure the spaces I inhabit are left a little better than I found it.
About: Starting at the age of 11 up to today I have been trusted to take care, bathe and feed animals in my neighborhood, friends and family. I’m well at observing and giving medication if needed for older pets but also can be playful and help with the puppies/kittens as well! I currently work at an animal hospital which helps in my knowledge of feeding and taking care of pets. I work part time, mainly mornings but I’m willing to work around that if needed. I am available on weekends and holidays to take care of your pets needs. I can usually make something work around my schedule. At my house, there is acres of land and space. I have two very friendly dogs which I can either keep away or keep your pet company whichever is fine. For the clients home, I’m willing to work with whatever situation/care is needed
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”

My babies are like my children so I know how it may feel to leave you babies in the care of someone you don’t know. Trust is number 1 to me!
“It was my first time using this service and Keira…hands down the best experience ever. Keira was wonderful with my cat and kept me in the loop at every stage. I will absolutely be using Keira again. She is the best!”
About: Growing up, I had several dogs and feel very comfortable with most breeds and their distinctive traits. I am a believer that pets are just like children. They needs lots of love, attention and constant care. Because of my experience, I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing and caring for your dog. Our schedule is very flexible so it's easy for us to be there for your dog. We go on several walks a day, giving them a chance to go potty and enjoy playing with them to make sure they feel loved and secure while they're with us. Because we live on a 600 acre property, safety is our top priority. When we are taking walks with your dog, we will take every precaution necessary to ensure your dog is safe. I put an AirTag whenever we go out and always make sure a dog is leashed before we open the door.
About: I’ve had animals since I was little, and I have always been an animal lover. I have taken care of friends, family and neighbors pets. LGBTQIA+ friendly I have plenty of time at the moment. If you need mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I do have a car, so I am able to drive to you. I will treat your pet like my own. If they need medicine, cuddles, or just walks. If you need me to feed them, I am always happy to do that too.
About: Hi! My name is Katie. I've moved to Westminster, Maryland from Louisiana where I helped run a rescue and have had over a decade of experience with animals of all sorts. I am operations manager for a pet training/boarding facility and looking to make extra income by doing something I love, which is why I've turned to Rover. I would love to share my love for animals with you and help take care of your furbaby/babies! I live in Carroll County. (I do boarding in the owners home frequently through my full time job so I'm experienced and trust worthy) Please allow me to help you and I am flexible. I currently work with animals and am able to care for your dogs needs ❤️ they will be well cared for and loved very much. I am very detail oriented and love to make sure you're dog is as comfortable as can be while with me. Keeping to your dogs regular routines makes all the difference.
About: I’ve cared for my own pets at home, dogs and cats, so I’m very used to their routines and daily needs. I also spent a year working at a boarding kennel, where I took care of dogs and cats by feeding them, taking them on walks, giving medication when needed, and making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently in college but I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time to provide consistent, reliable care for your pets! I do not provide in-home care on Rover due to other animals in my home, ensuring safety and comfort for all pets currently not available.
“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!”
About: I have ALWAYS loved dogs. I have experience providing in home/overnight care, visits and walks for a variety of breeds. I have cared for dogs in all stages of life; therefore, I am confortable caring for puppies as well as older dogs. My fur babies included a silky terrier, a pug and a cat. I know firsthand how important it is to have piece of mind while away from your beloved pet. I have provided specialized care, including preparing home cooked food and administering medication. I love to stay active and enjoy spending time outside running with dogs. I am responsible and punctual. I am currently available on weeknights, Tuesday and Thursday mornings, all day Saturday and all day Sunday. I am looking forward to meeting your pup!
“Jeanette did and absolutely great job looking after our 17 year old Pomeranian while we are on a cruise. Would recommend Jeanette to all our family and friends. Will definitely use her services again without thinking twice. She was great.”
“Jaime is a wonderful, caring pet sitter! We really believe she is a cat whisperer! Not just because she is so attentive to our 3 rescue cats, but we were amazed our cat Fearless who suffers from PTSD actually came out (he usually hides from everyone) and she was able to pet him and give him pet treats! Even our skittish cat Rudy let her pet him. Our siamese Louie, who loves everybody, languished in her attention. The pictures we recieved from Jaimee while she did her drop ins and her texts and communications with us made us feel happy and relaxed that we left our boys in good hands and could enjoy our time away. But the response our kitties had towards her truly amazed us. She really has a way with cats for sure! This was our first time using Rover and it did not disappoint! We have found our pet sitter, Jaime and have started to plan our next trip. Thank you Rover and we are so grateful for Jaime!”
About: Hello! I'm a lifelong animal lover who will treat your pet like part of my family. From playful puppies to senior dogs, cats, and fish, I've had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of pets over the years. I grew up with two cats and a blind dog with Addison’s disease, which gave me firsthand experience with special needs pets. I've also cared for a cat with a neurological disorder and seizures, which required administering medication orally via syringe at very specific times. This experience helped me develop a keen attention to detail when it comes to following routines and administering medications, so you can trust I’ll take care of your pet’s needs with precision and love. With over twelve years of dog and cat sitting experience, I’ve handled pets of all sizes, from small puppies to dogs over 100 lbs. Whether your pet is on a special diet, needs medication, or just loves extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their own home. I’m reliable, punctual, and always ready to offer your pet the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. You can rest easy knowing they’re in good hands! I’m here to care for your beloved pets every day of the week! Whether you need support during your 9–5, in the evenings, or even over the holidays. I provide care in my clients’ homes to help keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind during my stay.

Any pup would be lucky to have Daniela as one of their people! My reactive dog is a big fan of hers. He is noticeably more relaxed on days that she came to see him while we were at work. Don’t hesitate to book with Daniela! She’s responsive and cares for your pets like her own.
Alyssa went above and beyond for her visits with our puppy. We needed her in a pinch and she was incredibly responsive and communicative. She immediately offered a meet and greet which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell Oakley took to her right away and loved being with her. She even worked with Oakley on training and gave us some great tips. The pup was able to sit on command after just one visit! We loved working with her and will book again. You can tell she had a great loving presence with animals and is very responsible and accommodating.
Lizz was so great! She was communicative, thorough, and very caring with our older dog. We felt so comfortable having her check in on our dog. She provided a ton of photos and a detailed walk through of her visits which we appreciated. I would definitely recommend Lizz to anyone looking for pet care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Eldersburg is $25 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 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 November 2026, there are 11,844 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Eldersburg. 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.
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 Eldersburg 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!
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Eldersburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eldersburg. On Rover:
- 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
