“This was my first time using Rover.com. I was uncertain about it at first but Mel was amazing and gave me comfort knowing my fur babies were being cared for while I was away. I plan to hire Mel again in a couple of months for my next trip. Highly recommend Mel and Rover.com. Thanks, Mel!”
“Katherine has done a great job taking care of Boomer and Betty! We look forward to her daily updates and have appreciated her taking the initiative to go above and beyond in caring for our fur-babies this week!”
“Lidia was absolutely amazing with my dog Tango! Super sweet, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure he was well taken care of. She made sure he got all his potty breaks and was very flexible and accommodating when I had to add an extra drop-in. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Yeji did a great job taking care of Athena and was very patient with her while she was feeling a little nervous. She kept us updated throughout her visits, sent plenty of photos, and made sure Athena was comfortable and well cared for!”
“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!”
About: I have a Chihuahua dog who is 6 years old, I have been assisting her in two births, I have been with her mother. and I have another male dog that is 4 years old. I love them with all my heart and I would like to work helping dogs who have no way to go out while their owners work. I take my dogs out to relieve themselves three times a day, and once for a long walk.One day they eat chicken, the next day they eat eggs, and I mix it with their dog food. I take my dogs outside to walk and do their physical business. I do this 3 to 4 times a day. And since they are chihuahuas, they like to be with one, they are next to me when I am watching TV. They only eat boiled eggs , chicken and dog food.
About: I love going on long walks and love having a fur covered, tail wagging friend join me on those little adventures. I am fairly flexible with being able to do lunchtime walks during weekdays as well. We all know how important it is for our four legged friends (and us) to stretch their legs! If you're going away and your dog like hikes or trail adventures to get their zoomies out, I am happy to take them on those adventures as well. I currently go on camping and hiking trips with a larger sized dog, hang out regularly with a big German Shepard, and grew up loving and caring for small dogs like Westies. From the tiny guard dogs to the the large cuddle bugs we all adore, I am comfortable with a range of dog sizes and energy levels. I can't wait to meet yours! I am currently working full time, but remotely Wednesday through Friday and can take care of your pet around lunchtime as my daily schedule is flexible. If not lunch time, I am off work at 4pm m-f and can care for your pet at 4pm or after. On weekends I am usually around and can work your pet care schedule around my own. I can usually be flexible with walking your dogs throughout the day. I am also capable of taking them on long walks if needed. I can follow whichever precise directions you need me to follow and if you are training your pet can do my best to follow those training tips you have been working so hard to enforce.
About: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.
“Esther was amazing and provided the best care for Nola! She made us feel super comfortable when we were initially nervous about leaving her for a while and sent lots of videos and pictures so that we could keep up with her while we were away. Would definitely use her services again!”
“Sylvia was absolutely wonderful. She’s very communicative and reliable and took wonderful photos of my cat each day. I felt very comforted knowing she was taking such great care of him while I was away. Also, my apartment building requires a fob and has somewhat complicated access and she was able to easily navigate all of those logistics. I will definitely request Sylvia in the future - thank you!”
“Antoinette provided drop in visit for our elderly (13 yrs) dog and was really great! She was a great communicator (kept us up to date and shared pics) and we got back to a happy and content dog. We hope we can have her sit for us again in the future!”
“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 have taken care of two smaller dogs the past 3 years and have learned the hard work that comes with them. I have also volunteered at BARCS for dog days out. I am comfortable with leash trained dogs and understand feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime. Hello! I am currently a college student working a part-time internship and taking a summer class! I am often available on weekends and monday, wednesday, and friday nights. I know how to crate dogs if needed and have reliable transportation to an emergency vet if needed. I have grown up around cats and dogs all my life so I understand the importance of keeping your pet safe.

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.

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 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 .

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 .
