“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!”
“Amanda was so incredible! She was responsive and took the best care of our pups! Amanda was kind and helped take care of the house while we were away by bringing in the mail without asking and also taking the time to ensure things were left better than she found it. THANK YOU, Amanda! It is such a joy to work with you and I cannot recommend her enough! I 100% will book with Amanda again! (:”
“Maria is a great sitter! She’s so attentive to our high energy dog and he loves to play and hang out with her. We will continue to utilize her services!”
“Kaitlin was amazing! Will definitely rebook. My animals were so loved and well taken care of. She did a great job at communicating and sending updates. Left my house very clean and I returned to happy pets!”
“Karenna was great! All the animals seemed to have a great time with her and were well taken care of. Karenna is very communicative and prompt and made us feel at ease while being away from home! Thank you so muc”
About: I have over 10 years of experience in pet-sitting, which means I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, cats, sick animals, and behaviorally-challenged animals. I am also a proud pet owner myself - I have a 14-year old rescue dog named Greta, and I often cared for 3 of my roommates' cats in college (Luna, Socks, and Boo Radley). What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will care for your pet like they are my own, meaning constant love and attention, as well as careful attention to detail. I take your care instructions very seriously and follow directions to a tee. Every pet has unique needs, and it is my pleasure to not only meet those needs but also to make sure they are happy and as calm as can be. Because I work remotely, I can be available to pet-sit all day if needed. If my family isn't home, I will need to return a few times a day to care for my own furry friend, but please know that being of service to you means YOUR pet is the priority! Unfortunately, my pup (Greta) is pretty antisocial, which means I am unable to host dogs at my house. Because I live with my parents, they can take care of Greta while I am gone, and I am more than happy to stay at your house as long or as often as you need. I will always make sure your pet gets fed accurately, adequately, and punctually, and always has fresh water available. I also love to play with pets and make sure they get enough outdoor time and exercise if needed! Additionally, I always clean up after myself and your pet, and I make it my goal to leave your home just as it was when I arrived, if not cleaner. If I stay overnight, I always wash the sheets and linens, as well as clean any counter or surface I use.
“I have used Jackie on multiple occasions to watch my senior Chiweenie (dog) and 10 yr old boy tabby (cat). They are both personality forward, and my pup is anxious/not the easiest to get on your side. Jackie always does her best to make them feel comfortable and while I’m away I don’t worry about the care my fur babies are getting. Thank you for the work that you do!”
“We have two very high energy dogs that are very needy. It’s hard for us to go away because they can be a lot for one person. Elizabeth made fast friends with them. She sent us pictures and updates throughout our whole trip. It was such a burden off of our shoulders to have someone provide such great care for our animals!”
“Lois was amazing as always. Took incredible care of Finn and went above and beyond taking him to the park and getting him a pup cup! Felt great knowing he was safe and loved while I was out of town. And Lois ALWAYS leaves my home better than she found it.”
“Lillian was great!!! We had absolutely zero issues. She came in time and took amazing care of our dog. And stayed later then expected to minimize dog time being alone before our arrival. We got constant communication with pictures and updates about Mozart. I’d totally recommend Lillian as a pet care giver. We will definitely stay in touch and use her services again and again. Without Lillian our vacation would not be as good as it turned out to be. She really provided us a peace of mind.”
About: Hi! My name is Maribel, and I’ve been surrounded by animals for most of my life. I grew up caring for family pets and have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and other small animals. As a college student, I know how important it is to find someone dependable who will care for your pets like family. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular photo and video updates, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pet has the best care possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I’m currently on summer break from college and have a flexible schedule for pet care! I work part-time at a golf course, and starting soon I’ll only be working one day a week at my second job. Most of my work shifts are during the day, which allows me to be available for afternoon and evening walks, drop-in visits, and overnight boarding. On my days off, I’m available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime. I’ll always keep you updated with daily photos and videos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with a fenced relief area and plenty of safe walking paths nearby. Since I live in an apartment, I only board one family’s pets at a time so they receive my full attention. If you have two small dogs from the same family, I’d be happy to care for them together. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and shy dogs, and I always follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible. While I don’t administer medications, I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide frequent potty breaks, go on walks, and give your pet lots of love and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
“Alex was fantastic! We had never used Rover before and were in a bind. We have 3, 1.5 year old dogs and a cat so it is a little involved and she handled it so well. She came and met them before we left, and sent photos and updates while we were gone. She stayed at the house, and it was cleaner than when we left! Such a good experience and we wound 100% recommend her!”
“Zana was wonderful. She communicated with me throughout with ease. She sent photos and was an excellent sitter with my pup and kitties. Highly recommend.”
“Came home to happy, well taken care of babies and it’s all I could ask for. There was a mild snag while we were gone and we figured it out together. Wouldn’t ask anyone else to watch my 3 animals (and house).”
“We just used Paul for the first time while we were in Europe for 10 days, and he was great! Our two dogs and our cat really liked him, and we came home to happy animals and a clean house. We really appreciate his help and are happy to have a house and pet sitter we can trust!”
About: I began seeking clients on Rover in the summer of 2025 as a way to make some more money for college and I love animals so I figured “why not!” - I found myself really bonding with every dog/cat I watched and cared for them as my own. I accept as many jobs as I possibly can because I understand the importance of having someone stay with your fur babies who knows how to care for them in all aspects. My 7 month old puppy died due to negligence from his pet sitter and got hit by a car. Due to that experience, I have shifted my focus to mainly Rover, hoping I can provide families with the comfort and assurance that I will care for their animals with the respect and love they all deserve. I have experience with all kinds of animals (even bunnies, horses, fish, and more!) I was a working student from the ages of 10-15 years old and have my own horse so big dogs don’t scare me. I know how to deal with skittish or aggressive dogs because I had to learn to groom my own goldendoodle as he got older and became unpredictable due to dementia. It is important for me to make sure the animals I look after feel heard, are never left alone for too long, and have fun during my time with them! Please feel free to reach out with any other questions!! I only have one other job exercising steeple chase horses in the early mornings so I have a lot of availability to make house visits or spend the day as much as you would need me to! I also love to go on walks and take hikes, so if I am looking after an Active dog it is no problem! If your dog likes to play with other dogs I have a fenced in yard and two other dogs of mine who are very friendly. I am very neat and organized so the chance of your animal eating something or getting into something they’re not supposed to is very slim.
“Michael was great with our senior pup AND our younger adult dog! Definitely more wagging and fun for their staycation. He sent lots of pics and that was great for us- we loved that!”
“Amanda did a great job with our anxious and reactive dog. She handled all of his meds well and even gave him extra breaks and walks outside. He was happy and relaxed when we got home for our trip.”
“We left our year old dog in the capable hands of Dan for nine days. He stayed in our house and took such a good care of our dog and our home. We will definitely book Dan for any future trips!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Lutherville is $50

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.
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.
Alicia is the best! She sat our 2 pups (Golden and Golden doodle) for the weekend sending pictures and keeping us updated the entire time. We came home to the house like we never left and the puppies were happy! Will have her sit again when she can! Thanks for taking care of our fur babies.
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!
As always, Leslie was the consummate professional and took such great care of our dogs, Cada and Lucy while we were away on our honeymoon! She kept us up to date with photos and news. When Cada had a mild/moderate health issue, she handled it extremely well, notifying us and taking Cada to the vet as appropriate and dispensing her medications as directed. She also got Cada a cone and made sure she was happy and distracted while wearing it. While you never want something negative to happen to your pets while you're away, we're so glad that Leslie is the one who was there to handle the issue and take care of our dogs. She also watered our plants and took good care of our house. Huge thanks, Leslie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lutherville on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,383 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lutherville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lutherville. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
