About: We’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, so pet have always been a regular part of my everyday life! I know that sometimes this little things like walks or consistent feeding schedules can be the hardest part of having a pet! Allow me to take that weight from your shoulders! I have extensive experience with large dogs and puppies as well! I regularly housesit for homes with multiple animals and multiple species; dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, gerbils, and hamsters too! I’m currently working part time, but planning and scheduling are important to me. I am more often available in the mornings any day of the week. I value being consistent and reliable so I will only post availability that I’m sure will work! I will make sure to bring your pet everywhere with me! Clingy pets are my bread and butter! I have no problem hanging out as long as needed to always have an eye on your pets when they are in my care.
“I would highly recommend Xuan!! My dog was very content when I came home … walked, fed, water bowls filled, and a very happy dog! I could not have asked for a better person to take care of my fur-baby while I was away. Also, Xuan is very respectful of another’s home. I will definitely schedule Xuan again!!”
“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!”
About: I am comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, energy levels, and sizes. Every dog has their different personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am a college student attending campus once a week with a very flexible part time work schedule. I can easily plan around pet care and provide consistent, reliable care that fits each pet's needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with every pet in my care. I follow each pet's routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection so pets feel safe and cared for while their parents are away.
“Sean is awesome! He dropped in to walk and feed my pups while we were out of town for a wedding. His communication was great! I definitely recommend him and will be using him again in the future!”
“I am very pleased with the service received for Kash. He was well taken care of and notifications and pictures of him on a daily were appreciated. I will definitely be booking Shakiyla again for any pet services needed in the future. Thank you 😊”
About: Hi my name is Victoria, I often go by Tori. I have pet sit and fostered for a few shelters for about 10 years now. I have worked with cats and dogs of all ages. I have worked with up to four dogs at once and would say that’s my max. I enjoy going on walks, giving pets and working on training new skills. I have also had experience caring for pets who are unwell so I am able to administer medications with proper instructions. I currently have a flexible schedule and am willing to work around your needs as best as I can. We can discuss what would work best. As of right now I’m not offering services in my home. It’s my preference (if possible) to meet you and your pet once prior to sitting so that they are familiar in some way with who I am.
About: **PLEASE NOTE, I do not have a 6’ fence. We have a standard chain link fence. Fence jumpers are not accepted. I have had a dog since I was 19 (now 45). I love dogs and have taken in strays and nursed them to health. I have experience with small to large dogs. We have a large fenced in back and front yard for your dog to run around. We also love to cuddle. I work from home and have time to let your dog out and get some play time. We also live near a big park where we can take walks. We have a dog who is crate-trained. All dogs sleep in a crate overnight, which I provide. During the day, dogs are free to walk around both inside and outside. All you need to provide is their food and any comfort toys/blankets. I provide dog bowls
About: As a former dog owner, I’ve played a crucial role in nurturing our furry friends. Meeting all essential needs- and more- I have skills in training, caring for, and loving animals as they deserve. Coming from a pet-loving family, my experience dates back to my formative years. I am a graduate student and therapist, with enough flexibility and autonomy within my schedule to treat your pet with TLC! Thursdays-Mondays are my most flexible times, depending upon the service requested. Let’s chat and figure out what works best so your pet is cared for when you are away. I live in a pet-friendly community with ample outdoor space to go on walks. The phrase, mi casa es su casa, applies to all of my guests - even my 4-legged friends. Your pet is allowed to enjoy the space fully, and can also be crated per the owner’s request based on the dog’s usual routines.
“Anna is so sweet and takes great care of my babies! She’s my go to sitter when I’m out of town. She’s sends so many pictures and gives detailed updates about my cats. She’s very attentive and alerted me of of possible medical issue with one of them. Thanks Anna!”
“Samantha was very communicative throughout the whole experience. She was on time and took care of my companions needs exactly as requested. Would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using her services again!”
“Ana took great care of my cats! She sent lots of pictures of them while I was away. They were well taken care of and got lots of pets and treats.”
“Tessa was awesome. She was very successful in pilling my cat, who was always well taken care of by Tessa when I was away. She knows what she's doing with cats and she's very diligent and communicative!”
“Eileen is awesome! She took care of my cats for four months, and I plan to continue our weekly visits. She’s been reliable while I’m out of the US for surgery—she responds quickly and is so sweet with my kitties. My cats and I appreciate her so much. I’m even afraid they might start thinking she’s their mom!”
“Haile responded on very short notice and was great with my cat, Joseph. She sent photos and updates which made me feel very comfortable and gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter.”
“Hannah was fabulous. Because I had a sick kitty, she came over twice to go over his medication so she was comfortable medicating Tribble. Unfortunately, I had to say goodbye to Tribble (Rainbow Bridge) the day before I was to leave on vacation. She was great being flexible and sympathetic. My two remaining babies were well cared for. Hannah followed my "directions" perfectly and sent as many pix of my babies that I wanted. She even took pix of my shy baby under the bed where he was hiding! I would highly recommend Hannah for your pet sitter.”

Emily is so good to our Bella. She is always on time and our Bella gets so excited when Emily comes to play/ sit with her. Emily has even accepted last minute assignments when we were in a pinch. I highly recommend Emily for your doggie walking/ watching needs!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog while we were out of town! We really appreciated the updates and the love you showed him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely trust you again and highly recommend you!
Erika was wonderful with my two kitties! They were going through a finicky stage so I had to transition them to a raw diet which was a bit detailed. Erika followed everything to the letter! I love that she sent me daily photos. It was very much appreciated! Thank you Erika for giving the love and care ❤️
Lindsay was perfect! Communication was easy and timely, we met for a walk around our neighborhood prior to her watching our pup. She sent pictures during her visits with Buster and made sure he got all the pets and love! Look forward to booking with her again!
Brenay is a gem! She was easy to work with from start to finish. She came for a meet and greet, followed all instructions, and most importantly took great care of our kitty. She sent pictures, was super communicative, responsive, and problem solved on her own when little things popped up. She also left the house as she found it. We will certainly use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gwynn Oak is $20 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 7,285 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gwynn Oak. 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.

- 94% can help with daily exercise

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.
