“This is the second time Kerry has taken care of my two cats- they are super shy but warmed up to her quickly! I missed them terribly but the pictures and updates Kerry sent me comforted me while I was gone! Will be booking with her again!”
“Anneli is the best! She must be a cat whisperer, because my kitties love her so much! And she will make sure everything is safe and sound in your home for your fur babies while you are away!”
“Jennie is absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in every way and treated my dog, Max, like he was her own. From the very first walk, I could tell how much she genuinely cared about him. She sent me updates, gave Max lots of love and attention, and made sure he was happy and comfortable the whole time. Max came back from his walks full of tail wags and smiles! It was such a relief knowing he was in such great hands. I couldn’t recommend Jennie more—she’s the best!”
“Elias was on time for each visit and took great care of our senior golden retriever. Unfortunately, our golden had a few accidents and threw up on his doggy bed but Elias cleaned every mess without complaint and kept us informed. Overall, we are very pleased with how our fur baby was cared for. Would book again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since 2019 using Wag and just having my own pets. I’ve converted my second bedroom to a pet play room for your babies to have the time of their life while I work from home! I also have very friendly and playful cats who love dogs, cats and ferrets! They are allowed to sleep with me and lounge on the couch while we watch movies and try new snacks! I’m currently working from home so I’ll be with your pups and cats all day, and on weekends we hike if your fur baby is up for that! If not, we spend the whole day watching movies cuddled up and taking walks around the neighborhood and there is a dog park on site as well! Trips to Petsmart for a new treat or you is definitely a must once I log off and I truly love to make them a part of my family. Pets are allowed wherever I go so that I can keep an eye on them. I keep them on a feeding and walking schedule and they are on leash during the entire walk. There are plenty of toys and there is a play pen in my home as well for small puppies who may get into things. I do not provide a crate but if needed, please bring one and let me know how often they are in their crate or if it is simply their safe space for naps and such! I try to keep them out of crates as much as possible so they can enjoy the trip and feel as much at home as I would want my pets to feel. Please review policies below. --- 1. **Drop-Off Times**: Please be punctual with drop-off times. I am available and waiting at the scheduled time, and it is important to respect my availability. Consistent delays are not considerate of my time. I will not be adjusting drop off times for rate adjustments. 2. **Errand Fee**: If your pet requires additional items and I need to provide them, a $10 errand fee will be charged in addition to the cost of the items purchased. This fee does not apply to cat litter or if your dog runs out of necessities that you have already provided towards the end of their stay. 3. **Late Pick-Up Policy**: - If you are more than 2 hours late for your scheduled pick-up time, half of the daily rate will be charged. - If you are 8 hours late, a full day of boarding will be charged. - If you are 12 hours late without communicating a new pick-up time, I will be required to surrender your dog to animal control. This policy is in place to prevent abandonment, as some pet owners have previously left their dogs with me for extended periods without notice. Please note that I am a professional pet sitter, not a personal acquaintance. 4.**Crate Policy** All stays that are longer than 48 hours require a crate be provided by dog owners. For the safety and wellbeing of your pet as well as my own, I require all pets be crated while I am not home. This ensures their safety and security at all times.
“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!!”
About: We’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, so pet have always been a regular part of my everyday life!

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.

About: I’m particularly fond of taking care of the most finicky and quirky pets with care, firmness and patience. Skilled at administering meds, going for long walks and spoiling with treats. I work per diem, so I have a lot of time to spare with your pet! Available for boarding on the weekends anytime after 2pm. I have a cat tower at home that’s strategically placed in front of a birdfeeder attached to the window. It makes for an excellent front row seat for hours of birdwatching.
“went on vacation and she saved the day last minute when our cat sitters went out of town! very kind and responds very quickly! took lovely care of our sweet boys.”
“This is my first time being a client on Rover. As a Rover sitter myself (and Raechel’s sitter!) my expectations (and anxiety) were high. My two cats were used to family and friends checking in on them and have never had anyone “new” taking over that role. Raechel responded right away when I checked in during a visit. Every visit had photos and notes. One of my cats did not come out for Raechel over the ten days I was away, but Raechel and I communicated often and tried different tips and tricks to try and get him to come out and eat. She was very patient and willing to meet my anxious needs. At my request, she even went back to my place after ending the visit to modify the feeding situation because of my anxious kitty. I came home to well taken care of cats and everything like i had left it. I recommend Raechel and will request her again in the future.”
“Jackie is very friendly and so good with our cat. She arrived everyday right on time and sent us a picture too. It was a comfort knowing that my kitty was in such good hands while we were away.”

About: Hey 👋🏽 I’m returning to Rover after a big move to Baltimore City! 🏙️ Originally from the DMV area, I am now accepting new clients in the Baltimore City and County areas. Over the past 6 years, I have taken care of a variety of dogs from 10 lbs to over 150+ lb, and usually sit or walk 2-3 dogs at a time. I am currently available to book Monday-Friday during business hours of 8am-6pm for dogwalking and drop in visits. If you are interested, in dogsitting, where I stay with your pup in your home, I am also available for all days but I will disclose I do work 6-7 hours on the weekends. I do not house dogs in my home but in a client’s home I am usually informed about making sure certain backyard doors or fences are sealed off. I also make sure to put up any gates in the house to avoid any damage the dogs might cause. I am currently available for walks, drop in visits, and house sitting during the week days. This includes Mon-Fri during 8am -6pm. I am unavailable on weekends at this moment. My services make sure your furry family continues their daily routine of meals, walking, indoor playtime and tend to any medical conditions they might have. This is to establish trust with you (owner) and your pet as a responsible care taker.
“Nicole was absolutely fabulous with our cat, Penny! She was prompt, dependable, and clearly takes great pride in her work. Everything was left clean and tidy, and her consistent communication gave us such peace of mind while we were away. One of our favorite parts was receiving the photos and videos of Penny—they made our whole family so happy to see her looking comfortable, happy, and so well cared for. It was clear that Nicole genuinely cared about Penny and went above and beyond to make sure she was in great hands. We would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and hardworking pet sitter. We’re so grateful for her! 😻🐾”
“She was fantastic, sent us pictures of our baby while we were away and we could tell that she truly cared for her. Our baby was so happy with her if you have a cat that needs a friend this is who you’re looking for!!!”
About: While you are away, let your dogs enjoy a pupcation! My wife and I have been caring and training dogs for 10+ years. We have a fenced yard with a lake just beyond that. We currently have 2 friendly dogs who love to play. We can guarantee your dog will have an awesome time! We will train your dog as well if you would like. Dogs will get walked every day and plenty of play time. In this house hold, dogs are part of the family! Able to adapt and provide whatever care you require for your dog. I work 6am - 2pm and my wife works at a hospital over night. So there is always someone home to look after the dogs. If you want, we can take the dog out to the lake. We take ours out there all the time, it is shallow. But if you don't want them to, they don't need to. Our yard is fully fenced and cut off from the pond. Both my wife and I work, but she works night and I work days. So at all times we have someone home watching the pups. We treat your dog just like they were our own. We give them all the love, attention and care that they need. Your dog will gets plenty of play time, cuddles and care.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Halethorpe
I cannot stop talking about how great Helen is, really. Coda is going through his teenage year and he can be a handful but Helen is so good at what she does that she has brought different toys to redirect Coda's overly excitment and has reached out to us on how to best deal with his jumping. I am so greatful that we found Helen. Codas just loves her so much.
Gabriella was phenomenal. My cat loves all new people but my adoptee dog is wary of new people and takes a bit of time to trust new humans, she was amazing at making her comfortable and updating me on how both pets were doing. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend Gabriella to anyone
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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Halethorpe is $13 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $22 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.

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 .
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.
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 .
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.

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.

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.
