“Megan was an amazing caretaker of my cat. She was very attentive to detail and her visits provided the comfort my senior cat was longing for while I was away for six nights. I’m looking forward to provide her services whenever I’ll be out of town.”
“Katie was so awesome taking care of Cooper and Sophie! She took our request on the day before we had to leave and she was so easy to work with. She put a normally anxious dog dad at peace immediately with how she was able to easily befriend both of our dogs and was instantly chilling with both of them. She was right on time, the pics of the dogs were comforting, and the dogs both looked happy and at peace. I recommend her for anyone that’s looking to have their dogs watched and will definitely reach out to her in the future.”
“My first time using Jules and DEFINITELY NOT my last. Jules was responsive and interactive with both of my dogs. She played with Roman and rubbed Coco like the princess she is. We will be booking again.”
“Brandi went above and beyond for our old girl. I never would have expected to have such an amazing experience and I am forever grateful for all of the attention, treats, walks, love, and care Brandi gave our special needs pup. I hope she never stops being available :D”
“Mel was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties while we were away and helped us keep an eye on a potential house issue as well. Was quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Jennie was amazing with our three dogs! We had to add another drop in visit the day before our trip unexpectedly and she was happy to accommodate with no issues. Highly recommend and looking forward to rebooking in the future.”
“I feel like I left a review already but I don't see it so maybe I'm crazy. Anyway I have Samantha booked weekly to take my dog out. She is reliable and quick to respond, and very flexible, and great with my weird finicky dog.”
“Emily was awesome to work with! We were away for an extended period of time and Emily always sent updates, communicated when needed, and took such great care of our kitties! Even our most shy cat came out to play with Emily! We will certainly rebook with Emily in future !!”
“Esther was an incredible pet sitter for our cat! She came everyday and sent us multiple pictures and videos to keep us updated. She took such good care of our girl and we could not be more grateful! We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have been around all kinds of animals for my whole life! I love dogs, cats, and beyond! I have experience in dog sitting and cat sitting while also currently being a lead animal care specialist at a non profit organization. My responsibilities include feeding, caring, bathing, cleaning enclosures, and administering medicine to all critters! I will take care of your fur baby as if they were my own! I am finished with my work day early most wednesday and thursday’s and am off on Friday’s for the most part. I am available most weekends too. I will always put the pet first. I will make sure they are comfortable and not scared or on edge. We will go at their pace for trust and respect their boundaries. For dogs, I will always make sure their bathroom needs and outdoor/indoor playtime met. For cats, I will play, pet, or simply be with them for as long as they need!
“We have used Hannah twice now and she is fantastic with our two large high energy Labrador retrievers! They are very active and she does a great job dealing them. They loved fetching with her! Her communication was great leading up to and after the visit.”
About: I have grown up around cats and dogs and I currently foster them, as well as volunteer as a cat adoption counselor at a rescue. This means I have dealt with animals of all kinds with different needs and personalities, and as a cat adoption counselor, I am familiar with cat behavior and how to make them feel most comfortable. I am currently a fourth year Penn State student with a relaxed schedule so I am free most of the day and have long breaks in between classes which I can dedicate to spending time with your pets! Every pet is different and if there are special care instructions, I’ll follow them very closely to make sure your pet feels safe and cared for just the way you’d do it. If no specific routine is provided, I like to start off gently and let the pet set the pace until we get to know each other better. Building trust is so important to me and I always take my time to make sure a pet feels comfortable and respected. I’ll treat your pet with the same patience and love I give my own pets and fosters and I’ll always follow your guidance since you know your pet best!
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and know how to take care of them. I also have experience with cats, I have helped my grandfather with a stray cat that chose him! I'm openly available, as of today. I like to volunteer, but that usually only takes about 4 or 5 hours. I will give your pet the time it needs. You make sure that they have plenty of fresh water, eat on time, and walk them every day when the sun is not too hot, eg in the morning or evening.
“We recently had to switch pet sitters and have been so impressed with Guy! One of our dogs can be a little difficult to handle but Guy has been so great with her and we can tell that our dogs totally comfortable with him.”
About: I've had pets all my life and I'm starting to care for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different breeds and sizes. I currently work full time, I work 1 day remote at home and 4 days in the office. I will make plenty of time to be there for your fur baby though. I am very active, I go running, take long walks as well as hiking with my pup. He is very friendly with other dogs and loves to have company. Any special needs, diets or behaviors I will need to know in order keep your fur baby happy and comfortable.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Halethorpe
Kathleen was a lifesaver. We were away for a day trip and had scheduled her to walk our dog mid-day. While we were on the trip we had an emergency that made it impossible for us to get home to walk and feed our dog that evening as planned. Kathleen was quick to respond and helped us out last-minute for a second visit the same day.
Mel was absolutely amazing! She was perfect for my crazy zoo! She communicated with me daily, so I always knew what my crew was up to! I had no worries while I was away, because I knew my animals were in good hands! I am absolutely going to rebook her in the future!
Katherine was fantastic with taking care of my plants while I was on vacation. She is extremely friendly, courteous, and detail oriented. She followed detailed instructions without any problems. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to take care of their plants or animals. I will be using indefinitely.
Kathryn is amazing! She was extremely attentive to my puppy. Each and everyday she went out of her way to care for my puppy. She put my puppy’s needs first I would recommend her service over and over again. Whenever I need support, Kathryn will be my first call.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Halethorpe stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Halethorpe 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Halethorpe with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
