“Jahcarre and Morgan took great care of our two dogs, Winston and Reno, as well as our home! Our dog Reno has issues with getting along with unfamiliar dogs, and due to being blind he doesn't always do well in new environments, so having a sitter come watch our dogs in our home is essential, but isn't always easy to find, especially over a holiday. I was so happy to find Jahcarre and Morgan through Rover! They put me at ease by talking with me and meeting the dogs beforehand, and I felt confident leaving my dogs and our home in their hands while my husband and I were able to travel without being concerned. They communicated well when needed and sent pictures when I requested. They even got our doggies a little Christmas gift which was so sweet! Thank you for spending your Christmas with our pups, we would definitely have you watch them again!”
“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our German Shepherd and tripod Lab for 5 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Before the stay, she took the time to come meet us and our dogs, and she asked thoughtful questions that showed how much she genuinely cares about animals and wants to provide the best care possible. Throughout our trip, she sent daily updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s clear that Sydney truly loves dogs. She was attentive, responsible, communicative, and treated our pups like they were her own. As a recent college graduate, she is incredibly mature, dependable, and professional. We came home to two happy dogs and a clean house. We would not hesitate to book Sydney again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“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!!”
“Finding Katie through Rover was the best thing I have ever done for myself and for my puppies. 3 words: she is amazing I went to California for 5 days and knowing she was taking care of my babies make my trip worry free. She sent plenty of updates and pictures so I could see they were happy. Beesly (my littlest) is generally standoffish and shy. I have real photographic evidence of Beesly covering Katie with 😘 If you are looking for a great, kind and responsible caregiver for your babies she really is the one.”
“Alyssa was so great & we would definitely book her again!! She stayed with our guys the whole weekend & kept in great contact with pics & text updates! Highly recommend ❤️”
“Samantha has cared for our dog (and home) twice now. Again we returned home to a happy pup and clean home. Samantha kept us informed and sent photos, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“Alise was extremely helpful while we were away. She communicated daily, sent wonderful photos of our fur babies, and even had to handle a hornets nest situation. She truly went above and beyond!”
“Erica did a great job taking care of our home and two kittens while my family was on vacation. She sent us regular updates and left our home in clean and good condition. We appreciated her flexibility when our flight has to be rescheduled. She has a fun personality and we enjoyed her sense of humor. I know our kitties loved her as well. Will rebook in the future. THANKS!!”
“Rufus looked in good heath and he missed Nicole at bed time , he went to her room . Thank you for looking after him and we look forward to your next visit Paul and Elizabeth”
“Charlize took wonderful care of our dog, Theo! She was very responsive and gave so many updates on him during our trip. She loved Theo and he definitely loved her. We will definitely contact her again for pet care in the future!”
“Kerry was fantastic!! This was our first experience using a pet sitter for our pup, Liberty, and all went great. We got very lucky! Our vacation was almost 3 weeks long and Kerry and Liberty became besties very quickly. Kerry also took good care of our house and we definitely plan on using her for future needs.”
“Regina did an awesome job taking care of my pups! She has a naturally calming energy. I've never seen my dogs NOT bark at someone who enters our house, but with Regina, they didn't make a peep. They just jumped into her lap and made themselves at home!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I'm pretty flexible, so if your dog has any special needs, or if there's anywhere in particular you'd like your dog to visit, just let me know. I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I can do anytime, any day. I will accept same day visits as well. I have one dog at home. His name is Freddie and very friendly. I have a fenced in yard and a crate if it is needed.
“Took brilliant care of my pup Pearl very last minute. Kathleen took great care of her and I came back to a happy pup. It is a big relief to have someone I trust taking care of Pearl.”
“Faith was wonderful with our cat, Bitty! She is 17 with severe kidney disease and requires a lot of extra care and medication. Faith is gentle and kind and gave Bitty all of her meds for us while we were away. She was super communicative and sent us adorable pictures! I recommend Faith to anyone whose critters need a little bit of extra TLC and will continue to trust her with our little fur babies ?”
About: I have grown up with Pitbulls and Frenchies my whole life so I am confident that I can take great care of your beloved pet! I work from home and will be with your lovely dog all day (unless I need to go out to run an errand) so no need for you to be worried that they’ll be alone! I prefer to crate any dogs that are not mine while I am away from the home just to make sure everyone has their own space. If Dog is not crate trained, then I will place them in a room if I need to leave the house.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Burnie
My pup can be anxious, especially when I’m away. However, he was so comfortable with Megan. He even slept in the guest room with her one night! Shes so kind and professional, sent plenty of photos, and kept me updated on him and their walks. Will definitely rebook in the future!
Linda is so sweet and kind and conscientious of our pups' needs. This is our first experience using Rover, and honestly all my worries were assuaged meeting her and again seeing how happy and relaxed our pups are when we got home. Thank you, Linda!! We truly appreciate you and hope you'll come hang out with our pups again in the future!
Lindsay really helped us out when another sitter canceled on us last minute. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet even though it was late and she was so kind and friendly with our dogs. She sent pictures and updates to give us peace of mind and correctly managed their medications/supplements. We are really grateful for her help!
We are so pleased with Amy. We first used her 3 years ago and were impressed with the care she gave our senior dog. Fortunately she was available to watch her again this year. Amy sends regular updates and photos. She stayed at our house for the week and left it in beautiful condition. She updated me on rain - or lack of - for my garden, suggesting I water it since there was less rain than forecasted. Everything about Amy’s house/dog sitting is positive.
This is the second time I used Gabrielle and she was excellent again. She took great care of my golden - she was so loving to her and handled all her needs. She left my home is better condition than she found it, lol. Without being asked, the houseplants were watered, she took the trash out, cleaned the dog bowls and vaccuumed. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her if you need a great pet sitter!
Elizabeth took great care of our two Germans shepherds, two gerbils, and one hamster, while we were on vacation. We came home to very happy pets and a clean home. Elizabeth has a very kind, warm energy and our pets instantly loved her (even our easily anxious puppy), and she took great care of our older dog with medical issues.
Keeara was honestly so great and gave me all the reassurance I needed for my two pups. It’s always hard for me to leave my dogs in the care of somebody else because I’m so particular and very paranoid about it overall but I definitely trust her and wouldn’t hesitate to let her watch my dogs again which says a lot. Her communication was a 10/10 even when an emergency in her own family came up she still prioritized the care of my dogs as well. Thank you so much again!! So grateful for her care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glen Burnie
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Glen Burnie is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $53 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.
As of October 2026, there are 7,958 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glen Burnie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Glen Burnie 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 Glen Burnie 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 Glen Burnie 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.
