“Michelle took great care of my cats while I was away. She spent a full hour with them every day, and sometimes even longer, making sure they had fresh food, plenty of water, clean litter, and engagement. I especially appreciated how consistent and dependable she was with the daily care routine. One of my cats can be a little particular and attached to his usual way of playing, but Michelle made sure he was safe, cared for, and checked on. She also seemed to really bond with Emi, which meant a lot to me. It gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone patient and attentive coming by each day. I’d happily recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“Heather came through for us after we had a late cancellation for a cat-sitting. I reached out to several Rover sitters and she was the very first to respond. It meant the world to go on our family trip assured that our boy was in good hands. Heather sent photo updates and promptly messaged back: would absolutely recommend her!”

Jules followed the instructions on feeding them perfectly so it’s like I never left. It’s so peaceful knowing my dogs are in good reliable care. I tell my friends to Book Jules.”

Pet 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.
Tabitha was great. We were leaving our kitties for the first time ever, and it was for over a week, so I was feeling pretty anxious. Tabitha put me at ease from our first meeting. She was communicative, timely, and did everything we needed. Very appreciative of her!
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!
Kelly was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for Luna and Oliver. She was very proactive in her communication and provided detailed updates on how the two were doing, which gave us peace of mind during our travels given Luna’s regular health issues. The cats were clearly very comfortable with Kelly and we greatly appreciated the care and attention she gave to them to ensure they were happy and well-taken care of. She even went the extra mile to help us out during an unexpected incident, which was a huge lifesaver for us. We highly recommend Kelly if you are looking for a sitter who truly cares about your pets and wants to give them the best experience when you’re away!
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Halethorpe on Rover is $12.84 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Halethorpe. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
