“First time using Rover and I was a little nervous but Claudia was amazing! Very prompt, left very descriptive notes and my dog was happy. She put my mind at ease while I was gone and she ensured my dog was given love and extra cuddles :)”


“Highly recommend Mariah. She has done walks and drop in visits with our dogs for years. She is always reliable and responds quickly. We end up making last-minute bookings often because of our work schedules and she always gets back to us right away. Most importantly our dogs love her!”

About: I grew up in a big household filled with animal Lovers so I have been caring for animals since childhood and now have 4 rescued pets of my own I have been caring for over the past 11 years in my own home. I have cared for several of my neighbors and families pets while they go away on vacation and I Truly enjoy and appreciate all animals so I can promise a loving, playful and responsible experience for you and your pets so you have peace of mind while you are away.

I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾
About: I will care about your pets like they are my own. They deserve the best care and best time during their lives. I can give medication to pets if needed as I have a senior cat of my own. I'm currently working full time 4 days a week, but would like to branch out and work with animals again part time. I am available friday-sunday. I will make sure they have fresh water & clean bowls, feed them when needed, make sure they are safe and clean. If they have accidents I will make sure to clean them up. I will walk dogs and check in with them, clean up after them, and give them water/ treats/ food when requested. I will make sure cats litter is clean and fresh, they have access to clean water, and feed them/ play with them during drop ins.
“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!”

About: I have LOTS of experience handling and caring for dogs and cats (and birds). I am the person that everyone calls when they see an injured animals or lost pet roaming the streets. My love for all things furry (and hairless too) is beyond measurable. I am ready to walk your loved one and make sure they are safe, and getting their excessive! Want a photo of your baby? No problem! Want a video of your baby? No problem! I currently work from home so your pet will never be alone for long periods of time. I am available most days anytime after 10:00 am. If you are looking for a morning dog walk just let me know and I can try to make it work 🙂 I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs of my own who can easily adapt to your baby with proper introduction :-). I have kids who have learned to respect all animals. You do not have to worry about kids hanging on your pet or pulling their tail. Animals respect is first and foremost in our household. I also have two birds. They are out most of the day but stay perched or hang out on my shoulder.
“Kathleen has been wonderful so far! Her meet and greet went well - she was patient and kind to our pup Poe. She’s been communicative as we’ve started working with her, especially to work out schedule stuff. We look forward to having her back for stop bys!”

About: Let our home be their home away from home!!! Dog lover since my 1st puppy at 3yo and now passing that down to my 2 boys that love to help me care for our dogs and the ones that come to stay with us. I pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends growing up and still do to this day. My 1st real job was taking care of the animals being boarded at a vet clinic when I was 14yo. I joke and say my first job was a professional pooper scooper. Here I would feed and medicate dogs as needed. Other aspects of the job included dog walking, cleaning kennels and runs, loving on them and playing. I have fostered for extended periods of time for people to help with different circumstances until they could take their dogs back. This helped to save these dogs from having to be rehomed. I will help keep pets with good families in any way that I can. I have also had experience in dogs with special needs. I cared for my own dog, Bubba, with Megaesophagus from 8wks old until he passed at 8yo due to complications of his illness. His care included preparing his food in a blender and special feeding accomodations in a Bailey's chair daily, numerous medications, nebulizer treatments, injections, and standing upright after drinking and special maneuvers to help keep his lungs clear whenever he would aspirate. Adjusted many aspects of my life and my dog's for him to thrive and live as long as he did. My current fur babies are Chaos (Lab /Mastiff), Mayhem (Bully/Pit) and Pippa (Beagle/Bassett). I love all dogs as if they were my own. I have cared for and owned dogs of various breeds and sizes. I rescued a highly anxious and fearful dog when she was 2yo so I have experience with patience and building trust. Walking, feeding, play, medication administration can all be done. Let me know any special thing that your dog needs and I will take care of it as long as I'm able and if I'm not I will be straight forward with you. I will strive to send you at least 1 update and picture daily while in my care unless you would like more. I work from home so I'm always available days, nights and weekends if your pup is staying at my home. My schedule is very flexible. Willing to do walks no matter what the weather may be. If you need me to come to your house I am available throughout the day. I can be available with notice and if you don't mind my one son tagging along with me if you need help outside my home in the evenings. I too have experience with many other animals as pets (we referred to my house as "The Zoo" growing up) or sitting for family and friends when on vacation. I have experience with cats, mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, small lizards, frogs, turtles, snakes, and birds. Sorry I will not help with your pet tarantula. Our home has a 6ft fenced backyard with locks always on the gates. Also a good size neighborhood to take your pooch on walks. My 2 young boys also love to help with caring for our own pups with my help, don't worry they won't be the ones walking your dog. If I am coming into your home I will respect your property and privacy. Your house your rules! I have experience with giving medications, shots, and nebulizer treatments as well as wound care for dogs. Any special considerations/needs for your furry family member I am happy to follow.

About: I have many years of pet sitting experience. I've worked for a few pet sitting services around Baltimore. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Denver walking the dogs. I have always had pets of my own. I also have years of house sitting and child care experience. I am a very laid back person and your pet will feel at ease with me. I treat my pets as if they are little people. I talk to them and cuddle with them. I will treat your furry friends as if they were my own. I am mature, responsible and professional. I am available for daily visits or overnight stays. I can also board them at my place. I do not currently have any pets of my own. I work full time M-F in the office but have some flexibility to work from home. I will be sure to give your pet the attention required to make them happy. Upon taking on a new client, I make sure I am aware of any situations that may become an issue. I currently have a client whose dogs need to be separated during the day while they are alone. While I am at the house, I watch out for any signs between these dogs that there may be any problems with their behavior towards each other.
About: I’ve been taking care of my two rescued dogs that me and my family rescued 12 years ago. I also have experience petting my friends dogs, cats, and chickens! I am currently unemployed and trying to make pocket money and save for travel so i will use all my time looking out for your fluffy children. I offer drop in visits and walks. I will personally make sure your pet is fed, played with, walked, loved, happy, and well cared for.
“Kelly was so wonderful with my dogs! I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care for the weekend. She was very communicative with me and gave updates & photos during her drop in visits. I would highly recommend Kelly to care for your pups!!”

About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.
About: My experience is as a dog walker at a shelter in Maryland. I have two dogs of my own, both rescues, and one of which is a recent amputee! Dog walking at the shelter and my own dogs I believe has given me ample experience. I work from home so my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to do a drop in visit or go for a walk when you need! I can easily take your pup for a walk, spend some time with them or let them out for a potty break while you are away!
“Jackie was a saint with our anxious dog, Skyla. Sky is a high maintenance rescue pup due to past trauma and Jackie was very patient to make sure our girl was comfortable and safe. I am so thankful for her.”
About: I've owned animals my entire life, every size and age of dogs, cats, and exotics. I currently live with my mini husky Luci, and my three guinea pigs Skye, Raze, and Sage. I am currently a free-lance caretaker for both children and animals, meaning my schedule is completely flexible and will be predictable enough to quickly schedule tasks. My time will be dedicated to the tasks of the day or week completely. I cannot board due to the fragile bond between my mini husky and my guinea pigs living together, unfortunately other animals of either kind may be a danger to this dynamic. I have my own transportation to drop in anywhere, however.
“Keren helped us out in a bind with very little notice. Having her come to let out and feed our dogs was extremely helpful while we were away for a wedding. The dogs quickly adjusted to her and we highly recommend her!”

About: My name is Emilio, and I’m an MMA instructor who is responsible, active, patient, and comfortable caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels. My family and I have 1 dog , a German Shepherd and Pit Bull mix, along with a cat that we originally fostered and eventually adopted. We got the both of them around four years ago, so I have years of hands-on experience feeding, walking, playing with, supervising, and caring for both dogs and cats. Being an MMA instructor has also taught me patience, awareness, consistency, and how to stay calm and attentive, which I bring into caring for every pet. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week, including many afternoons and evenings. I’m also open to weekend care and can work with pet owners to keep their pets on their normal routine. I have years of experience caring for my own pets, so I’m comfortable around different personalities and energy levels. In a client’s home, I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food are secure and I’ll keep owners updated so they know their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Joppatowne
Writing Shannan is truly an amazing person! ❤️ I had an emergency and reached out to her for a last-minute drop-in to check on my grandpup, and she immediately stepped in to help. Her kindness, reliability, and willingness to show up when we needed her most mean so much. I’m incredibly grateful to have her in our lives!

Patrick and Bahiya are absolutely amazing! We’ve used them several times for dog drop-ins and for watching our two dogs while we’re out of town, and they’ve become our first choice every single time we travel. They are dependable, caring, and treat our dogs like their own. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re taking care of our family while we’re away. We’ve always had a great experience with them, and they consistently go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy and well cared for. At this point, whenever we’re going out of town, Patrick and Bahiya are the first people we reach out to. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!

We were so lucky to have Melissa take care of our pups while we were away! She was wonderful about sending photos and detailed updates. She gave them such great attention during her drop in visits, you could tell they were so happy to see her. We would definitely recommend using Mellisa to care for your pets!

Fantastic sitter; highly, highly recommend!! Calailah was very kind to our two kitties even when Orion wasn’t very kind to her at first. Orion usually doesn’t like new people but he warmed up to Calailah in one day- the fastest he’s ever warmed up to someone! Will definitely be reaching back out next outing!

The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Joppatowne is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $29 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 4,188 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Joppatowne. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Joppatowne. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
