About: I have taken care of many of my friends and family pets (both dogs and cats) when they go out of town, including seniors that needed medication. I am currently job hunting and would have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I can take your dog for a walk/let them out for potty breaks, feed, scoop litter, play, and just love on your pets! I am a young professional, very trustworthy, and have overnight dog sat for many friends (once for a whole month). I would love to have a chance to meet you and your pets!
About: I have watched over many of my friends and families pets. The dogs I have watched in the past have been moderately large, and could be a bit wild at times but I was able to keep hold of the situation. I have also accompanied my family and friends when they had taken care of pets for other families. I had helped train a very wild pup for a friend, as well as a basic command which was sit. I absolutely love animals and even went to a program in high school for them. I am currently free during most times of the week. I am currently attending HCC, my classes being on Monday and Wednesday and do not stretch late into the day. I am very available to watch your pups or kitties! I can come during the mornings or evenings during the week depending on the day. I am also available to house sit. I care for them by learning their needs and wants first in their home. I understand every animal is unique and needs to be cared for in a way that works for them. I listen to the owner to ensure that everything will be safe and cared for in their absence.
“Simply amazing!! When I can home from work I could tell my pup had been played with and was for sure content! She’s respectful, kind, dog loving and reliable! What more could you ask for ☺️ Thank you Rebecca!”
“Pearl is a lifesaver! She helped us out when another sitter didn't show up to take care of our dogs. She sent us text messages and photos of our boys every day. This was my first time using a pet sitter and thanks to Pearl, the experience was great.”

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my entire life. I currently own two standard Goldendoodles and foster cats/kittens for the Hero Rescue. I have been an animal lover since I was a small child. I have patience with pets that need some time adapting to a new person in their area. I work full time so pets that are crate trained would work best for boarding in my home. If you would rather me come for drop ins I can stay and make sure they are fed, have water, get play time, and plenty of love while I’m there. Dogs in my home would have a fenced in yard for supervised potty breaks and play time. I also have enough space to throw a ball/toy for fetch inside for extra exercise. They would have my 2 Goldendoodles for company but any boarders would need to be crate trained so I don’t have to worry about them getting into anything while I’m at work. I also have cameras in my home so I can check in on everyone throughout the day. Drop ins would get attention, love, and play time while I’m at your home with them.

“I cannot say enough great things about Kara! She is WONDERFUL with my 2 boys and step brothers dog! I don’t trust just anyone with my dogs and the day she came to meet them I knew I could trust her! My boys are very stubborn, high energy, and not always the best off leash, and she got them to listen and they looked so happy with all of the pictures/videos she sent me during the drop in visits (crazy dog mom here, I like lots of pics of my babies while I’m gone)”
“Madison and Chris are so wonderful! My husband and I were very nervous to put our fur baby in someone else’s care, but it’s comforting to know that he’s in good hands. Love receiving photos of him,too! Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Havre de Grace
We were very satisfied with Samantha from a previous booking, so we rebooked her again knowing we’d have nothing to worry about. Our cat already had health issues being 18 years old, with thyroid, kidney, spine, etc. Samantha provided caring, compassionate, and emotional support. Highly recommend her.
Emily was fantastic! Her daily write-ups were amazing, she went above and beyond when it came to the service she provided, and ultimately, she ensured our cats were happy and healthy while we were away! We could be more pleased with her. Thanks for everything, Emily!
Theresa was amazing. While I was out of the country for ten days she came by each day and not only cared for my cat Salem but took the time to give him so pets and snuggles allowing him to warm up to her. She gave me daily updates with pictures and was easy to communicate with. I will be using her in the future as well!
Angela was amazing with my fur baby from beginning to end. She communicated, sent pictures and messages. I can tell she truly cares for animals and was also flexible when I needed to extend last minute due to travel delays. Im so glad I found her and will definitely use again!
My doggies were in love with Erica! She provided so many photos, and I could tell they were having the times of their lives with her! I would trust her with the care of my pets anytime! Highly recommend! She also cleaned up the messes when my Woody was very persistent and creative with escaping his crate 😂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Havre de Grace is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 November 2026, there are 2,037 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Havre de Grace. 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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
