“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”
“Dylan was wonderful with our pets! This was our first time leaving our dog so we were a bit nervous but our dog loved him! He took such great care of them and sent picture which we appreciated immensely. Definitely recommend and will be booking again for our next trip.”
“Rubi met my cat Finn twice before taking him into her care for just over two weeks. She was very communicative and I could tell they bonded instantly. Any time I was worried while I was away, Rubi was quick to send photos and updates of Finn that put me at ease. Rubi is the only person I'll trust with Finn’s care going forward! 😊”
“Kerry was a wonderful sitter for our senior dogs. From the first moment we met her and she met them, we could tell that she was a dog lover. She was very capable and was not deterred by our senior dog getting up repeatedly at night. Loved all the pictures and updates that she sent us. Will definitely use Kerry again and recommend her to others.”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”
“Gavin was phenomenal. He sent me frequent clever notes and photos of all my pets which was not only reassuring but also entertaining. Everyone was clearly well cared for and we certainly hope to have Gavin back for a stay in the future!”
“Riley is a very compassionate and dependable person. He. Cared for my 3 animals well & let them climb over him letting them get comfy in his lap! I will be using Riley any time I need someone to stay with my babies❤️”
“Faith was wonderful with our cat, Bitty! She is 17 with severe kidney disease and requires a lot of extra care and medication. Faith is gentle and kind and gave Bitty all of her meds for us while we were away. She was super communicative and sent us adorable pictures! I recommend Faith to anyone whose critters need a little bit of extra TLC and will continue to trust her with our little fur babies ?”
“Briana was great with our dogs! She was very responsive and reliable. She followed through on all our communications. She couldn’t have been easier to work with! Will definitely use again!”
About: I have cared for four-legged friends my whole life and I would love to help take care of yours! - I have had experience caring for dogs with special needs so I am knowledgeable with administering shots, giving pills and helping dogs who are blind or have limited mobility. - I understand that all dogs & cats are different and have different needs and I am willing to accommodate any needs you or your friends may have! -For puppies: Helping to work on training techniques that you are currently using for your dog. -Being mindful and accommodating pets who may be more anxious. More about me: I am an assistant who has 2 cats of my own, Billie and Norma. I am a native Baltimorean. I have a very flexible schedule during the weekdays particularly midday and early afternoons. And I’m happy to work with you to find the best time for your pet and you! I am happy to work with you to best accommodate your pets. Having had many cats and dogs I understand that every furry friend has their own quirks and preferences about play, walks and feeding.
“Elisa kept Big Daddy (and our house) well cared for during our week long trip. Big D was super chill upon our return, always a sign that he got plenty of attention and walks while we were away. We look forward to booking with her again soon!”
“Keira is so fantastic! My dog is still a little bit nervous because Keira is new, but she really takes it in stride and seems to magically make my dog more comfortable. Keira is so patient, kind, and gracious, highly recommended if your pup tends to be the nervous kind.”
“Lindsay really helped us out when another sitter canceled on us last minute. She was able to accommodate a meet and greet even though it was late and she was so kind and friendly with our dogs. She sent pictures and updates to give us peace of mind and correctly managed their medications/supplements. We are really grateful for her help!”
About: 📸 See It for Yourself: You can check out Barks by Bryce on Instagram for photos and updates from past stays. Happy to answer any question you have 😀 I'm a full-time junior studying business law, so I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pet real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. Your dog will be treated like a true member of the family, with constant supervision, plenty of affection, and a consistent daily routine. My mom is also registered on Rover and will be right there loving on your pup too, she calls herself their honorary godmommy 😊. 🐾 Small Group Boarding: I keep things limited to no more than 3 dogs at a time, including Storm, so every dog gets a calm, attentive environment where they can play safely and rest easy. 🐾 Senior & Special Needs Care: I'm happy to care for senior dogs and pets with special needs. Since these dogs may need extra attention or physical assistance, I'll work with you directly on the details based on what your dog requires. 🐾 Separate Feeding: To avoid any food guarding or anxiety, every dog is fed separately. I do have an apartment, however there is tons of safe and surveilled space to walk dogs and they will easily be able to go on mile+ walks if need be. My dog is another member of the family and I do mean that literally. She is treated as such and even eats at the same time as us (when she feels like it) and your dog will be treated no different than her as all pets deserve the best.

Kathryn was great taking care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats at our house, which can be a handful. We really appreciated pictures & communications that were sent while we were away. The animals seemed very calm and relaxed upon our return. I would highly recommend her for pet care.
Rubi met my cat Finn twice before taking him into her care for just over two weeks. She was very communicative and I could tell they bonded instantly. Any time I was worried while I was away, Rubi was quick to send photos and updates of Finn that put me at ease. Rubi is the only person I'll trust with Finn’s care going forward! 😊
Jamie was awesome! She stayed in our home to pet sit while we were out of town for a few days, and it worked really well. She is enthusiastic and her love for animals is obvious. Our animals look calm and happy and she left everything neat as a pin. She is also super responsive with messaging. I definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!
Elizabeth took great care of our two Germans shepherds, two gerbils, and one hamster, while we were on vacation. We came home to very happy pets and a clean home. Elizabeth has a very kind, warm energy and our pets instantly loved her (even our easily anxious puppy), and she took great care of our older dog with medical issues.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Linthicum Heights walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Linthicum Heights maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Linthicum Heights 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!

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 .

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.
