About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I bring a lifetime of love and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny Chihuahuas to towering Great Danes. I’ve been a devoted dog owner my entire life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m known for being dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about dogs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or simply providing a calm and loving presence while you’re away, I’m here to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved every step of the way. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM, which allows me to provide attentive pet care during afternoons and evenings on weekdays. I’m fully available all day on Saturdays and Sundays, giving your pet plenty of dedicated time for walks, play, and companionship. My schedule allows me to balance reliable, loving care with consistent availability to meet your pet’s needs throughout the week. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, exercise, medication, or play preferences. I make sure to give lots of attention, affection, and positive reinforcement so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also keep the environment clean and secure, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your furry friend is in good hands. My goal is to create a calm, loving atmosphere that feels just like home.
“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!”
“Kaitlin did a phenomenal job with our furry ones. Great communication, did everything the way asked and even did little things to make sure we knew everything was being taken care of. From the check in photos to seeing how our doggos were treating her we knew she was taking wonderful care of them. 100% recommended and will definitely come back to her the next time we might need anything.”
“Elizabeth was amazing. She loved my dogs as if they were her own. She provided pictures and was punctual to the drop ins. Her communication was great. I would definitely book again.”
“Sam is the only person that we trust to watch our dogs and he does such an excellent job each time. We've been using Sam for years and plan to continue to use him in the future.”
“Emily has provided pet sitting services for my cat Honey a number of times. Honey is a shy kitty and will go into hiding when anyone other than me enters the home. Emily brought treats with her to gain her trust. I feel comfortable leaving now that I know Honey will not only have her physical needs taken care of but also some affection from a sitter she trusts.”

About: Hi, I'm Ryan. I live in a house in Elkridge, MD with a large fenced backyard. I run a dog rescue and have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs. I've had dogs from 3lbs to 150lbs. I currently have a 8ish year old mix that is very used to other dogs coming and going. He is a great playmate or nap buddy for other dogs. I have experience with giving medication to dogs and cats ranging from pills, eye cream, ear drops, liquid in the mouth, insulin shots and other injections. I am comfortable and experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I often work from home and am able to be with the dogs most of the day. Most days I am available to go on walks with your pup! I love all dogs and can't wait to meet yours! I require all dogs coming into my yard/home be on flea/tick preventative, up to date on rabies, distemper, bordetella and canine influenza. I work from home so your pet will rarely be alone. I am able to provide extra potty breaks or give extra attention if needed. I have a large grassy backyard with a 4 foot fence and one dog that is always down for a play buddy but will also happily nap on the couch. I have extra crates if ever needed.
“Priscilla is very friendly and gentle with my kitty. She sent me many pictures and letting me know how my kitty is doing. I would love to use her service again.”
“Keira did a great job looking after my cat while I was out of town! She is always on time and leaves very detailed comments and pictures. I would use Keira again, I highly recommend her!”
“Jenny was amazing!! She sent constant updates along with pictures to help us feel at ease while we were away, and she was on time every time. Our pets clearly enjoyed hanging out with her (even our shy cat and anxious dog!) She even went above and beyond to clean up after our dog when he had an accident. Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for all kinds of pets over the years. Growing up, my family always had dogs, so I learned early on how to handle everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who needed a little extra attention. As an adult, I’ve personally owned small caged pets and currently own 2 cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different animal personalities and care needs. I currently share my home with two adopted cats, each with their own unique story and background. With patience and care, I was able to successfully introduce them to each other despite their age difference and differing temperaments—it was so rewarding and relieving to see them become friends! I understand that every pet is unique and deserves compassionate, individualized care, and I treat every animal I meet like one of my own. I currently work a full time job with the military during the week, but am home early in the afternoon to provide care, comfort, and cuddles to my furry friends and yours! I have a spacious apartment with lots of toys and 2 friendly cats to keep tour furry friend company. Walking around my neighborhood is a breeze with pet pickup spots along the way and a safe environment for walks no matter what time.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elkridge
Victoria is amazing!! She is always on time and gives detailed feedback of the visit along with great pictures of our cats. One of our cats is very shy (will not come out for almost any visitor) and she comes out for Victoria every time. This is a huge indicator that Victoria is amazing with animals and that animals love her!
Kelly was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for Luna and Oliver. She was very proactive in her communication and provided detailed updates on how the two were doing, which gave us peace of mind during our travels given Luna’s regular health issues. The cats were clearly very comfortable with Kelly and we greatly appreciated the care and attention she gave to them to ensure they were happy and well-taken care of. She even went the extra mile to help us out during an unexpected incident, which was a huge lifesaver for us. We highly recommend Kelly if you are looking for a sitter who truly cares about your pets and wants to give them the best experience when you’re away!
Catherine was amazing with our shy cat Mila. She checked on her and listened to everything we asked. She also sent the cutest pictures and it was great to see Mila happy and comfortable while we were away. I absolutely recommend Catherine and will be using her again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Elkridge on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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 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.
