“She is great we have 3 dog and 2 of them can be a little problematic, one is super anxious and bites when she is scared.... But for Suzanne it was just another day. Suzanne is very good a getting back to you as soon as possible, you are getting a true professional sitter vs someone who does it as a hobby. Look no further Suzanne is one of the best sitters rover has to offer!”
“Zana watched our two dogs and cat for a week and we are thrilled with our experience. Zana was extremely communicative and sent great pictures along with the updates. Our elder dog got sick and Zana was a champ handling some unexpected cleanup duty, leaving our house nice and clean. We sincerely hope we can rebook Zana the next time we leave town.”
“Fortunately, Olivia was able to step in and care for Eli and Mowgli at the 11th hour as it was not clear we would be able to make our trip due to an unexpected dental emergency. We were able to have a brief house tour and meet and greet before I was off to catch my plane. Olivia took great care of our guys and sent frequent photos and videos throughout the day to keep us in the loop. They were truly spoiled and everything was in ship shape upon our return.”
“Michael is the best! He takes great care of my dogs and is extremely knowledgeable. Best review comes from my dogs - he stopped by after the stay and the dogs were ecstatic to see him!”
About: Hi there! I’ve had worked as a veterinary rehab assistant for 3 years, caring for both dogs and cats as they heal and recover. This experience has taught me so much about animal behavior, comfort, and how to give pets the patience and attention they deserve. At home, I’m also a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or making sure they stick to their routines, I treat every pet like my own. ✨ Availability: • All week (Sunday-Saturday): Full-time availability for pet care so you can take a break and relax. • Overnights: I’m available to stay with your pets overnight. In your home, I follow your pets’ normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any medications or special care they may need. I make sure to keep your home tidy and treat it with the same respect I would my own.
“Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!”
“Jasmine was able to housesit and take care of my dog and cat on relatively short notice and did a tremendous job! She asked all the relevant questions I hadn't necessarily thought about during the meet and greet and made sure I was fully aware of any of her other obligations during the stay and made sure my pets were completely taken care of. She sent lots of photos, videos, and updates which provided me solid peace of mind. She even brought up small things I hadn't thought about such as checking the mail and making sure the trash was taken out, and even took the time to feed some of the stray cats that like to come around to hang out and ask for food. I came home to two very happy and healthy animals and can't recommend Jasmine enough.”
“Another great experience with Cassie. I came home to two very happy and healthy girls. The peace of mind being able to travel and know they are being loved and cared for is immeasurable. She even stayed a bit long as we were delayed in getting home and made sure they got some extra activity before she left. I highly recommend Cassie!”
“Jess and Janelle are amazing. My two cats and two dogs LOVE them and are excited when they are cared for by them. I love them as well … they are professional, caring, communicative and thoughtful. Jess and Janelle are my go-tos … always!!!”
About: I've had cats since I was a child and love dogs. I've never owned a dog, but I love to spend time with them and give them the attention they need. I am experienced in giving cats liquid medication and pills. I can schedule walks, and check-ins usually anytime in the morning and then after 4 pm in the afternoon on weekdays and usually whenever on weekends. I love walking and with a dog, it's even better. I also love to meet new kitties and can handle medication administration if needed as well. Having cats most of my life has provided me with much joy and respect for animals. I provide my three cats with a litter robot, dry and wet food at meal times, two water fountains, and meds for one cat every day. I respect different pet's needs and comfort levels as well as the owners' wishes.
“Gervon in a tremendous Dogsitter. He was communicative, kind, and attentive. He accommodated the medical needs of our pets, too. He even cleaned the sheets before he left! We highly recommend Gervon.”
“Absolutely phenomenal. Both our babies were happy and fed when we got home. Photo updates were very appreciated. If I could give 1 million stars I would. So thankful!”
“Crissy was absolutely fantastic! I got pictures and updates on my pup, daily. She took such great care of our girl and my flowers look better than when I am home! My dog is anxious one and she loved Crissy. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Amazing service. Michelle went above and beyond to take care of Peach and Lucifer (and the house) while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and flexible. I will always go to Michelle first if I am in need of house sitting, dog walking, etc.”
“Stephanie did a wonderful job for me. My almost-senior cat, Hazelnut, took to her, “shadowing” her. Stephanie did all that I had asked and then some. She followed feeding cat feeding protocol to the letter in addition to watering plants, and even trash/recycling management. Stephanie was very respectful of my home. I highly recommend Stephanie.”
About: As a pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels secure! I currently work full-time but love spending my free time caring for animals! I'm primarily available during weekday evenings and on weekends for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their established routines, follow all care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I also believe communication is key! I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“We were so thankful to Jupiter for watching our dog. She was wonderful- communicative, caring, and very respectful of our home! We returned to a happy dog and would definitely use her to sit again.”
“Brianna is an amazing Catsitter! Not only did my cats really love her but she was amazing at sending updates and being attentive towards them and their needs! Will definitely be booking her again for my future cat sitting needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lutherville
Lisa took great care of our dogs. This was our first time leaving them since one developed medical needs and it was a great experience. She communicated well and took good care of both the house and the dogs in our absence. We'll definitely be booking her again.
Elizabeth is fantastic. I’ve used her overnight services multiple times, and I’m thrilled every single time. She is always my first choice in a pet sitter. Great communication, follows any rules 100%, is mindful of being in your home and leaving it actually better than I left it, and makes wise decisions. My dog Pippa loves her!!
Bear and Sparky were very well cared for by Corrie! They were happy and healthy upon our return. Sparky was looking around for Corrie.🐶. Our house was in good order upon return, even folded laundry on the bed. Glad we had some doggie photos and connection with Corrie while traveling. It helped a lot to know they were doing just fine!
This was the first time we used, Paul, and he did a great job! He was professional, timely, fastidious, and very communicative throughout our five day trip. She clearly loves dogs, and was very in tune with the needs of our elderly dog. Will definitely be using him again!
Karenna went above and beyond expectations- she agreed to meet and get to know my reactive dog who needs the time to get to know someone before being left alone. We schedule multiple drop ins prior to her house sitting and the weekend went very smoothly. Took great care of both our dogs and our home. Highly recommended!
We could not have asked for a better sitter than Sejal. She took care of my Boston Terrier after a last minute request, and sent regular pictures and updates. She went above and beyond when Mavis had a health emergency. Sejal took her to the Pet ER and stayed with her for 7 hours, keeping me updated the whole time. Her communication is top notch, and the love and care she had for Mavis was apparent. I cannot recommend Sejal enough for anyone needing a dog sitter.
Stephanie did a great job caring for our English Springer during a recent and rather last minute trip for us. I appreciated her clear communication and thoughtful questions. Daisy seemed happy when we got home and the house was just was we left it. We definitely hope to hire Stephanie again.
We had Cat stay with our fur babies again for a whole week & she was absolutely amazing as always!! we came back to our pets happy & healthy & our house clean. We also never wondered how our pets were doing because she always gave updates with lots of cute pics!! We love Cat 💖💖
I had Mitchell house sit my 120-130lb bernese, Disco, for an overnight while my wife and I were part of a wedding which would really occupy most of our attention. Mitchell is a guy that's easy to trust, easy going, and follows directions well. Disco loved him and seemed to have a great time because hes very tired today. Mitchell took him for several walks through the woods in our property, including down to the stream where disco likes to drink the majority of his water like a camel. We got photos of their adventure all day and while I didn't have time to respond it was good to look at my phone and know hes having a good time instead of just laying by the door waiting for us to come home. I would absolutely recommend Mitchell to other people and hope to book him again when we need him.
Emma was amazing with our very anxious and reactive pup. She replied immediately to a last minute house sitting request, came right over to get the lowdown, was great at keeping Bruno calm, and took great care of him! He developed a little eye irritation while she was with him. She did an excellent job letting us know about it while also conveying that she wasn’t particularly concerned.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Lutherville is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $53 per night. 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.

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 Lutherville 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 Lutherville 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.
Tip: 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 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lutherville. On Rover:
- 90% 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.
