“Kathleen came by for a meet and greet with our pup, Poe. She was timely and communicative. She was patient and kind to Poe as they got to know each other. I look forward to having her come by to take care of our dog.”
“Bridget is great with our dogs, she takes such good care of them! She was able to help us out on very short notice, and did a wonderful job taking care of all 4 of our dogs, and followed our instructions to the tee. Very quick to respond, and good with communicating during the check ins as well, we got lots of photos so we could see the dogs were doing well. A+ sitter, will be booking again!”

“Maria is so great with my boy, Simon. I can tell from the pictures and updates she sends that he just loves her company and she really enjoys him too. She also follows the instructions about his routine well. Simon seems to thrive with her which certainly makes being away from him easier.”
“Provided excellent communication and updates on how Riley was doing during my trip. Worked with a difficult door lock and reached out to ensure that nothing would be damaged in getting it to operate and gave Riley the extra attention and loving that she craves. 10/10”
About: At this time, I can only accept dogs up to 20 lbs. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a kid, and it’s still one of my greatest joys. Today, I’m a proud dog mom to two pups: Pickles, our affectionate long-haired Chihuahua mix who loves everyone—dogs and people alike, Andy, my new Chihuahua mix who has tons of energy and loves playing with other dogs! I'm also mama to Roxy, my 16-year-old toy poodle with a sweet but sassy senior personality, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge in summer of 2026. Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, including dogs with different temperaments and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications and giving each dog the attention they deserve. I love going on walks and always enjoy bringing the dogs along for fresh air and exercise. My family enjoys having a house full of furry friends. Whether your pup is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like part of the family in our home. I work from home, so when I board dogs, I am available to them all day and night. I also have my summers off, so I can make even more time for the dogs I walk or board in the summer months. In my home, safety and comfort are top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I’ve set up gated areas inside to provide quiet or separate spaces if a dog needs downtime. I have two friendly dogs who enjoy the company of other pups, and my two children are gentle and respectful with animals—they love helping give our furry guests lots of attention and affection. I always take time to get to know each dog’s personality and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet space, I’m here to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I’ve always been around animals and everyone around me knows me as an animal lover. I Have 4 dogs and multiple cats! I’m motivated to make taking care of animals my full time job so I am available at any time even if it’s a last minute thing. I have many animals so i have experience with different animals having different routines and needs. I can follow any instructions given on how to take care of your animals.
“First time using Rover and was so lucky to find Kali! She is a very sweet cat lover who took wonderful care of my 2 cats, our fish and numerous plants for a long vacation. Excellent communication and we received many updates with photos.”
About: I grew up with at least one dog in my home since I was born until I was 19. I loved my pups and taking them outside to play. I also have experience taking care of a client’s dog and cat. I have experience with several different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am available from 5pm-10pm Monday-Thursday most weeks. I can also work Fridays at any time! I have a full time job, and am looking to take care of pups after work. I can feed, brush, walk, and play with your fur babies! I have experience with dog crates as well. I’m down for getting active or relaxing with your pup, depending on their needs! :) I work during the day, but am more than happy to help care for your pup after work! If you need someone weekly to do check ins, I’m your girl! I will do whatever it takes to make sure your pup is well taken care of. Safety is definitely a number one priority for me!
“Title: Amazing Care and Attention to Detail! Review: From the very first meet and greet, Kyra made a fantastic impression on both us and our pups! She has a warm and caring energy that our dogs picked up on right away. Our husky, who loves attention, was thrilled with the scratches and pets from Kyra, and my shy little puppy, who’s usually reserved with new people, even warmed up to her quickly. Kyra's check-ins are thorough and filled with thoughtful updates, which gives us peace of mind knowing our pets are in such caring hands. If you're looking for someone who will spoil your dogs and treat them like their own, Kyra is the perfect choice!”
“Rob has been consistent, communicative and fantastic with our pup, Poe. We have enjoyed working with him and look forward to more visits. We are also planning to utilize him for boarding during an upcoming beach trip.”
“Melody was great with Boh and keeping me updated while I was away! Had open communication with me about my dog and his walks and put me at ease when being away from home. Saved my life with being able to walk him last minute?”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have 13 years of hands-on experience. I raised my first dog from birth and cared for him through all 10 years of his life. I now have a 6-month-old puppy and two cats of my own. Friends, family, and neighbors have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with all ages and breeds, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I travel for work, which actually gives me a lot of flexibility! I’m able to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s drop-ins or walks! I’m typically available weekdays and weekends as needed! I I care for my own 6-month-old puppy, so I know how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and feeling loved- I treat every pet like they’re my own and pay close attention to their needs, routines, and comfort.
About: I provide calm, reliable, and attentive care for pets of all ages and personalities.

About: Hi there, I’m Gaby! I’ve had 2 dogs in my home since I can remember and have been a cat mom since 2024. My family has adopted each of our dogs from rescue shelters and I got my fur baby from BARCS. I love to meet new animals, play with fur babies, and give all the loving possible. I am always up for play time, a walk, or cuddles if needed! With hybrid work availability I would love to help care for any animals that may need some extra assistance while you’re working or away for the day/weekend. I am available most days/nights and almost every weekend if necessary throughout the summer. I am open to stopping by, walks and other activities. Often free on weekends and early mornings for extra walks and cuddles. Maintaining their routine and whatever is most helpful to their needs. Follow schedule if so. I am often working from home and available. Let the animal acclimate, lots of cuddles (or personal space), walks around the neighborhood. Make sure it is comfortable for the pup and their needs

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Middle River
Kathleen is the best! This is our 2nd time booking her to care for our 3 cats while we're away, and she went above and beyond yet again, cleaning up after our elderly cats who had accidents, on top of the great care she takes in feeding them, ensuring they have clean water and litter boxes, and just checking up that they're all doing ok. We appreciate her so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Middle River is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 November 2026, there are 4,749 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Middle River. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Middle River. On Rover:
- 88% 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.
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.
