About: Hi!! My name is Elisha. It is a pleasure to be a consideration to you. A little about me .. I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties for relatives, friends, you name it. Since I can remember. I treat them as I would real children and companions. If you are in need of an extra hand, to walk or to visit your pup/kitty, I am available. I know life can get busy with work, traveling, or even dates. That is why I am so compassionate towards fur babies and believe that for your comfort as an owner, Rover is a great investment. I try to keep costs low as I am new, so here is to new pup/kitty beginnings ! I work 3-5 hours in the Baltimore area, however I live up Harford county so I’m flexible with locations and times! I can do early mornings, late noons, whichever is preferred by you :) I have a friendly pittie who can keep your dog company on walks (if they fare well that way) I will give often updates, photos, any notes as needed. An additional service I like to do for clients is picking up waste in the back, as it tends to become tedious and maybe difficult for some people, I am all here for it ! Please request that when booking.

“Maya was fantastic. She took such good care of our 3 kitties for 2 weeks. She went out of her way to make sure they were ok during the snowstorm and cold. She gives them attention (plays, grooms etc), and ensures they eat, have fresh water, checks their wellbeing. (Also the litterboxes were well maintained - she even put the garbage out) We are impressed - her compassionate care and love for our furries shows through everything she did — in addition she looks after your house (all is clean, plants were checked, etc…)- (we had water issue she reported immediately and helped clear) . She communicates frequently and keeps you posted — in a nutshell if you look for someone for your pet — we would not hesitate to recommend Maya and certainly hope she is available for our next trip. We could not be happier.”

About: Hi! I’m Nikki, and I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their different personalities, routines, and the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I’ve also cared dogs and cats while people are away, making sure they stayed on their normal schedule, got plenty of playtime, and received lots of love and attention. In addition to dogs and cats, I currently care for two pet ferrets, so I’m comfortable with small animals and understand that every pet has unique needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or someone patient and dependable to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to earn that trust and care for your pets. My schedule allows me to provide care during early mornings before 7:30 AM and evenings after 4:00–5:30 PM, depending on the day. I also have every other Friday off, which gives me full-day availability on those Fridays for walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet care. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a morning potty break, a walk before work, dinner, playtime, or an evening check-in, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every pet like they’re my own. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I know every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care that makes them feel comfortable and secure. I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure your pet’s space stays safe and tidy. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had about 5 dogs in my life, all of different breeds. I love being around them, they are all sweet and unique in their own way! I am available during the weekends, as I do work through out the week. It allows me to properly focus on other tasks, such as taking care of pets. I can do walks, as I like to go on a daily walk myself. I would feed pets however many times they need to be fed.

“Rowyn was absolutely amazing!! I cannot say enough great things about her and her compassion, professionalism and how fantastic she was with my two almost 17 year old kitties! They require oral medication every day, which can be challenging, and on the first day, one was being difficult and refusing the medication, I had told her she could leave since she had already been there longer than the standard allotted drop-in visit time, but she was determined to make sure they both had their medication and was patient and stayed until they both finally took the medication. She absolutely went above and beyond, and was so attentive, so communicative and sent so many pictures! She always arrived on time, despite my saying the timing was flexible! She is someone we completely trusted with the care of our cats and also felt 100% comfortable coming and going from our house. She also went above and beyond and even did some cleaning so when we got home from vacation, we had nothing to worry about!! I cannot recommend Rowyn more highly! Thank you Rowyn for giving us so much peace of mind while away!! Will absolutely book with Rowyn again in the future!”

About: I had been taking care of my family’s chihuahua and poodle growing up, and I was a sitter for my friend’s Munchkin cat for one year. My friends would always come to me to check on their cats whenever they were out of town. I’m currently taking care of a kitten of my own. I’m currently a full-time grad student, but I’m usually free after 6 pm during weekdays. I have more availability on weekends, and I’m happy to accommodate to the client’s schedule. I have a young kitten in my house right now, but I fenced the entry to her floor. Your fur babies can either snuggle with her or can be housed separately on other floors.

“Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!”

If pet needs specific needs I am able to get it done

About: I’ve worked with shelters for a while and also fostered 2 dogs. My family has had dogs for a while and I’ve done training classes for puppies! I work from home 4 days a week so I have lots of time to take pets on walks or stop by to give them some love or attention! I would have my attention focused solely on the pet and do whatever I could to help and love them. I would make sure to touch base with the owner on instructions and things to look out for.

About: Between loving dogs and loving to walk, dog walking is one of my favorite activities! From the day I was born and sharing my home with beloved animal family members, to working at an animal shelter to owning my own dog walking and pet sitting service in the past, my pet caring experience is extensive to say the least! I am available to give dog walks/pet visits between 9am and 2pm Monday through Friday. Happy to walk your pup in your neighborhood or play with them in your backyard! Happy to keep your cat company while making sure they are fed and cleaned up after. I am very responsible, trustworthy and punctual. I give quality pet care each and every time I visit your home giving you and your pet the respect you deserve.

“Jalen really helped us out in a time of need last minute, and the kind of help we needed was substantial, for how last minute it was. He was incredibly attentive, communicative, punctual, and positive throughout the entire week. It meant the world to both me and my dad to know his dogs were in such great hands during an otherwise stressful time for us. This was our first time using Rover and what a blessing it’s been, thanks to Jalen. Would absolutely recommend him, and hope to work with him again in the future!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby, love dog sitting, and volunteered for three years with Passport Rescue at Petco, where I spent hundreds of hours caring for cats. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different personalities, and take pride in keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat every pet like my own and truly love what I do. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, medications or care guidelines provided by each owner. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and always make sure pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I respect both your space and your pet’s routine, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.

Once again, a wonderful experience with Blair. She (almost literally) went the extra mile on her dog walks, letting Angel take her a bit off the beaten path so Angel could join her play group each morning. Not every Rover.com pet sitter is so thorough in her services and communicative with the owner. I feel very fortunate to have found her.

This was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone outside of family, so I was honestly very nervous. My dog is extremely shy, very attached to me, and doesn’t warm up to people easily. But Amy made the entire experience feel so safe and comfortable from the very beginning. One thing I truly appreciated was that she took the time to meet my dog before the actual booking day and never forced interaction. She allowed him to approach her at his own pace, respected his space, and made him feel comfortable naturally. Seeing that level of patience and understanding meant so much to me. While I was away, Amy constantly kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The photos showed my dog relaxed, laying next to her and even cuddling with her, something he normally doesn’t do with strangers. That alone told me everything I needed to know about how caring and trustworthy she is. She was punctual, responsible, respectful, attentive to every detail, and genuinely cared about making sure my dog felt safe and comfortable the entire time. I could tell she truly loves animals and treats them with so much patience and kindness. I’m beyond grateful for the care she provided and I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet. She exceeded all my expectations and I would 100% book with her again.

Paul was a life saver. I had to leave my almost 5 month old Bernedoodle for the first time for a work trip and was quite nervous about it. Ozzie and I have become super attached to each other this winter stuck at home. Paul jumped in and did daily visits for me- even took him on walks in the 20 degree icy conditions. Ozzie did great with him and I couldnt be happier. We also have an 11 year old that enjoyed Paul’s company. They played a lot of ball together and he wore my little babies out!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Lutherville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lutherville on Rover is $23 per visit as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 per visit. 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 September 2026, there are 5,224 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Lutherville. 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.

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 Lutherville 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 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.

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 .

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.

To find sitters in Lutherville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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.

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.
