“Rachel is wonderful! She accommodated my request for booking with minimal advance notice. She sent me great feedback and photos of her visits with my pets and I could tell when I got home that they got lots of love and attention. She alleviated all of my anxiety/guilt leaving my pets at home. I will absolutely request her next time I need a sitter and would recommend her to anyone in need of drop in services!”
“Lisa is a super caring sitter! She did a great job with Lane, playing with her and making sure she was fed properly. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a cat sitter!”
About: 💗 If your pet needs someone who’s going to do more than just feed them and head out, I’m your girl!! I genuinely love getting to know each pets personality whether they’re the clingy type who follows you everywhere, the zoomers at night, or the pet who pretends they don’t like anyone (until they secretly do like my orange cat which is now super affectionate). 💗I have two cats of my own a boy orange cat who keeps me entertained every day and a girl black tuxedo cat who’s basically my little shadow. Having my own pets has taught me how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else, so I never take that responsibility lightly. I treat each pet I care for as I would my own. 💗 I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for around five years, caring for everything from fresh new born kittens/puppies to older cats/dogs who just want a quiet companion. I work as a travel home caregiver too, and actually a lot of my clients end up asking me if I can come back just to spend time with their pets when they’re away. I think animals can sense intentions from humans and want company for the ones who actually care and show them love. 💗 I’m a very patient person, so I don’t mind taking things at your pet’s pace. If they’re nervous, I’ll let them warm up to me. If they’re full of energy, I’ll match it. If you’re working on basic training or trying to keep them on a routine, I’m happy to help stay consistent while you’re gone. 💗 I know every pet is different, and that’s honestly my favorite part. Earning a pets trust and make to them feel comfortable is my goal. I want you as a pet parent to come home to a happy pet who was cared for and needs were attended as if you never left. Most mornings start with the gym or a run, then I meal prep before heading to work. I’m a Med Tech, GNA, and travel home caregiver, and I’m also studying Computer Science with a Nursing minor at Morgan State. On my days off, I’m usually reading with my book club, playing my PlayStation, or having a movie night. I keep a pretty balanced routine, so I always have the time and energy to give pets the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I look forward to pet sitting, it’s always the highlights of my week. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I provide attentive care, regular feeding, fun playtime, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and stress free.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all breeds since I was 14. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk and feed their pets. I have a flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your cat and/or dog! I'm available for boarding and house sitting/drop-in visits on weekends, and on weekdays after 10 am for dog walking and doggy day care. I have a fenced yard and a friendly goldendoodle who has lived with me ever since he was a puppy. He enjoys swimming in the pool and taking hikes in different parks.
“Curtis was a great caretaker for our two cats: Dropped by everyday, administered pills, changed food, water, and litter in addition to play time! Heavily recommend, he's a great sitter!”
“Bernadette and Helena took excellent care of my two babies, they came to my house so my babies would feel secure. They are delightful to work with and showed my dogs love and affection. I highly recommend them and would not hesitate to ask them to care for them in the future. Thank you ladies for giving your best!”

About: Hi, my name is Makhayla! I’m a caring and dependable cat and dog sitter with over 6 years of experience looking after pets of different personalities and needs. I recently moved to the area and am excited to help local pet owners with loving, reliable care. My 7-year-old daughter has grown up around animals with me, which has helped teach patience, gentleness, and responsibility when caring for pets. I’m flexible with potty breaks and daily routines, and I’m comfortable caring for pets that may need medication or extra time to adjust. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I’m A Stay At Home Mom So I’m Mainly Home So If You Guys Want Me To Stay Home Then I Will But While We’re Home They’ll Still Get Plenty Of Exercise If Needed And Fun. If I Have Plans Throughout The Day I’ll Keep You Informed. I Have A Backyard But The Fence Isn’t All Around So It’s An Open Backyard So I Would Need A Leash. If You Have To Bring A Crate Or Bed I Have Room In My Room For All Of That And Also They’re Allowed To Be On My Bed If They’re Used To That.
“Casie bonded quickly with my fur baby. She normally takes some days to warm up to new people. I appreciated the regular, clear communication and photos. Casie also offered to pick up additional food for my pet when she ran out of one of her favorites. I was concerned about leaving her but it was clear Casie was taking time to play with her and connect. She seemed much more normal when I returned home this time than on most trips; kitty can be distant for awhile before letting me pet her.”

Most of my experience has been with fish, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I also have experience in medication administration. I currently work part-time so my schedule is flexible especially for drop in visits. My weekends are limited but weekdays are open with more flexibility.

I will make sure all safety gates are in place and keep harmful materials away from your pet.

“Michael was great! Charmed my shy cat at the first meeting and kept me fully posted on how she was doing while I was away. He also watered the plant I forgot to ask him to check on, and did some significant cleanup around the litterbox. Phenomenal attention to detail!”
About: I have taken care of various types of dogs, ranging from high versus low energy, small v large, senior v puppies, etc! I have lots of experience dog sitting and dog walking/drop in visits, having recurring clients throughout my time in college. I am currently at home while pursuing my career! I am pretty flexible and will do my best to accommodate! Looking forward to hearing from you! For my own household pets, we have a routine of breakfast and dinner, walking to Starbucks for a pup cup, relaxing, sitting outside, etc. I am very flexible to meeting dogs’ needs, whether high energy or more lowkey.
About: Our house always had fishes, dogs, birds, guinea pigs or rabbits growing up. Being an only child I grew up watching National Geographic channel and always brought home a stray dog or a random animal I found. Needless to say when I became an adult I was constantly volunteering at dog shelters and always dog sitting my friends dogs or my neighbors pets. I love showering dogs with affection but I am also strict when it comes to following rules and setting boundaries. I rescued my dog when he was only 2 weeks old and have bottle fed him, researched his breed and trained him accordingly. I like to do activities according to the dog’s breed, personality and energy level. I am currently a full time grad student commuting from MD-DC, so I am fully available during the weekends and evenings to shower your fur babies with love and care! I have a friendly 2 year old dog and own 1 med sized crate and 1 large sized crate if needed. I also own a self powering treadmill for dogs as well if your baby does not like the rain but still want to run. I drive an suv that is equipped with dog covers in the back seat for the dogs to lay down and enjoy car rides.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lutherville
Shelby is a great pet sitter and dog walker! She is very responsive and came over before her first visit to learn about the pets. She’s very reliable and has been a huge help to us! She takes great care of our pets and leaves us great pictures and reports of how their time was together. Highly recommend!
Christine has been an absolute blessing in my life! I have never had a regular dog walker/sitter because my dog is a bit difficult. Josie took to Christine immediately and it has been smooth sailing ever since. I love the photos I get during the day of my girl - such a serotonin boost! On top of that, Christine has been incredibly flexible and accommodating as I adjusted to using the Rover app. Thanks Christine!
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.
Laura came over to do a meet and greet and I knew that while I was out of town our dogs would be 100% good to go! She was very kind and gave great updates/photos of Gunnar and Juno while I was away. Also brought in our packages too. I will not hesitate rebooking with Laura in the future! Thank you so much for everything!
Maya was great! She visited before the booking to ensure she was familiar with our home and our cat. The cat typically hides but came out for Maya right away and hung out with her during each visit! Maya did everything we asked and went above and beyond, bringing in mail and packages. She was prompt, communicative, and a huge help! We highly recommend working with Maya!
Excellent communication all the time, on the button My dog loves her….matter fact I’m home now and normally my dog Lexy would not go out with anybody if I was here. However, with Susan might Lexy gives her the respect she’s due and follows her without hesitation
Sarah was amazing with our puppy Billie. She was always on time for the check-ins and left great notes and photos to help let us know what was happening and how she was doing. She went above and beyond and will definitely reach out to her again the next time we go away. Thank you Sarah!
Brian was absolutely wonderful with our Bernedoodle puppy Oreo! Despite Oreo being a 60+ pound bundle of adolescent energy, Brian handled him with patience, confidence, and ease. He was always on time, professional, and genuinely caring. Oreo absolutely loved his visits and that says everything. Highly recommend Brian without hesitation. Will definitely book 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!
Jackson took great care of our two dogs for 8 1/2 days, coming by 4x a day. One of our dogs is 16 and recently had ear surgery and was on an antibiotic and had no issues. Jackson communicated well w me while in a 5 hour time zone difference. Would definitely hire again. Thank you Jackson!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Lutherville is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 5,169 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lutherville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
