“Second time booking with Lori! I have had a little bit of bad luck with pet sitters before finding Lori on Rover. She showed up for a meet and greet and I got the immediate impression that she was dedicated, honest and trustworthy so I decided to give her a try. I'm glad that I did! I now (finally) have a go to pet sitter who I trust completely with my fur babies. Lori will continue to get my business.”
“Jackie has watched our fur babies a few times now and has done a fantastic job. As these are our babies, we are really particular in who watches them and truly trust Jackie. She has a kind heart, warm disposition and has been very sweet to our kids. From the moment they all met Jackie, they instantly liked her. Jackie makes sure all the kids get love and attention, go potty and water. In addition, she is also very thorough on the Rover Card with plenty of pictures too. It's nice to know while we're away our kids are in good hands. We would definitely recommend Jackie!”

“I am so appreciative of Jasmine's care for my dog. My pug is shy and takes a minute to build trust and Jasmine no doubt earned! She moved at the speed of my pug. The updates from Jasmine showed a happy pup that trusted her more and more every day! Can't thank Jasmine enough! Highly recommend!”

About: There is not a time in my life that I do not remember having an animal in my life. I believe pets are family members and should be treated with love and kindness. I have over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and have worked with dogs and cats of every age and temperament. I am currently a stay at home mom of one human baby and 4 fur babies, so my schedule is relatively open! I am currently a stay at home mother of one. I available to walk or check in any time during the day every day of the week for any baby friendly pets or any evening after 4pm for any pets who are not baby friendly. On walks or check ins, my baby will be in a contained chest carrier and unable to interact with pets. I have worked in the veterinary feild for over 5 years and have always treated every pet like my own. I give lots of love and make sure all of their needs are met, while respecting any signs of fear or discomfort the animal may show.
About: Most of my pet care experience comes from caring for cats, including daily feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, grooming support, and monitoring behavior and health. I’m very patient and attentive to each cat’s personality and comfort level. I also have some experience caring for dogs and can handle basic walks and feeding routines. I’m a full-time college student with dependable evening availability during the weekdays and open availability from Friday through Sunday.

I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and routine when caring for pets in a client’s home. I carefully follow all instructions, keep food and litter areas clean, double-check doors and locks, and provide updates after each visit so owners feel reassured.
“Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive.

About: Size limit 20 pounds (adult size) for fun and safety (no large breed puppies). Your small or tiny dog will have up to 4 right-sized buddies to play with in my big securely-fenced yard. Professionally, I am a masters-prepared nurse and dog trainer who specializes in working with small dogs and puppies. I have worked with dogs professionally for more than 20 years, as a vet technician and dog trainer. There is no substitute for experience! I am very comfortable monitoring and managing dog play to keep everyone safe and happy, as well as managing special needs, giving medication, bathing, clipping nails, etc. Your dog will thrive with expert care from an experienced professional. I work from home and have lots of extra room on my couch for your little one! Your dog is most welcome to join us for couch time, walkies, and supervised outdoor play time in my large securely fenced garden. I am home most of the time, but I do go out to do normal things (the gym, errands, occasional social engagements). Please let me know if your dog is not crate trained. I do separate the dogs for safety when I Ieave the house, but can use gates or an ex-pen instead of a crate if that works better for your little one. I may be able to accommodate a dog that cannot be left home alone, depending on the specifics, please ask if this is the case. Your dog's safety is my first priority, followed by creating a fun and relaxing environment for your little one. You can relax knowing that your dog is in great hands and enjoying their own doggie vacation. I only accept dog-friendly small dogs under 20 pounds, so your little one will have size-appropriate buddies to play with! I manage drop offs and pickups with safety in mind, and I'm very happy to offer pick up and delivery to make your boarding experience as convenient as possible!
About: Hi I'm Brittany! I love taking care of pets. I have had my own pets, house sat other pets, and even fostered for a local rescue! I grew up with dogs, but I have watched both cats and dogs before. I have experience with small and large breed dogs: Havanese, Pomeranian, Golden Retriever, Pit Bull, Great Dane, and more. I would love to help you take care of your pets through boarding, pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks! I am excited to meet and take care your fur babies. If your pet has any special care needs let me know. Please contact me to set up any services, meeting you and your pets, or if you have any questions. I work full time during the week. I am usually home on my available weekends. I live with other adults that are more than willing to take your pets for a potty break! I care for pets on a case by case basis according to the owner's care instructions. Pets are always leashed outside and crated as needed based on individual needs.
“Megan was very prompt on answering my request. She was able to be to my house within an hour for my last minute request and was super friendly. She saved the day by letting out my dog and playing with him!”
About: I’m a very trustworthy person and I love animals very much I’ve grown up around so many pets I had to care for as a kid and I absolutely adore it I love meeting new pups and I enjoy the company of animals I’m very down to earth and would love to help you as much as I can I will always make the time to do what I need to I like mornings best I can do any time of the day I’m very flexible and willing to work with you I don’t do any house visits.

About: I have experience taking care of a border collie, Australian Shepard, and a German Shepard. I enjoy walking around the city and always open to a companion or two joining me. I am able to host dogs at my place, with my German Shepard. I have a fully fenced in yard that all dogs can play in, and I can walk them around my neighborhood. I am also able to do drop in visits for dogs or cats and stop by to walk any dogs. I normally travel for work 3 days a week. When not traveling I am either working from home or have local visits. I plan out my visits so that any pets staying with me will not go longer than 4 hours alone. I will allow all dogs to roam freely while I’m at home and take a break to play with them, and my dog, for about 10 minutes every hour. It gets boring sitting in front of a computer. For any walks or drop ins the time is spent making sure they get plenty of stimulation. Whether it’s walking a new route or playing in the yard I have a fenced in back yard. No other dogs or animals get in the yard, except a squirrel or two. When walking in my neighborhood there is minimal traffic since it has no way for cars to go through it( a lot of dead end streets). I’m close to 695 so if an emergency happens I can get to many vets in the area fast.
“Kali did a great job watching our 3 cats for us while we were gone. She made sure they were taken care of and sent us adorable photos of our cats comfortable and happy. We were so happy to have someone friendly and reliable taking care of our cats while we were out!”
About: I have a wealth of experience in caring for cats and dogs. I have years of volunteer experience working at animal shelters and have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life. I diligently follow owner-provided instructions and can administer medication if needed. I am also very experienced with senior dogs. Your dog or cat will receive ample attention, playtime, exercise, and cuddles in my care. Your pets safety is my number one priority. I work at a family owned art gallery, but also work remotely. I have the flexibility to work remotely whenever I choose to. I can make myself very available for your fur baby. I currently have 1 large friendly dog and 6 laid back cats. The cats can be separated from your dog while they are staying here if they do not get along with cats. All my animals are either spayed or neutered and current on all vaccines.

Nathaly is caring and dependable. My pets look forward to their time with her playing and being snuggled.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Middle River stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Middle River 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Middle River with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
