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!”

About: I've been caring for animals my entire life and have a genuine love for pets of all kinds. I currently have two dogs! I'm experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic medications, puppy and senior pet care, and overnight stays. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away, so you can have complete peace of mind. I work full time from home. On my breaks I care for my animals. We take walks, play in the yard or cuddle. Home is where the heart is. I have a fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood for walks. My dogs keep me company when I work from my office job. Taking naps and playing.
“Kelly takes such great care of our pets and is always great at recognizing when something isn’t quite right with our cat. She is very responsive and accommodating to schedule changes that inevitably happen when traveling.”
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.
“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.”
About: 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: Roxy, my 16-year-old toy poodle with a sweet but sassy senior personality, and Pickles, our affectionate long-haired Chihuahua mix who loves everyone—dogs and people alike! 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 had dogs and cats, my whole life. I love all kinds of animals and treat them all like they’re my own. Your pet will be loved just like mine. I work very early in the morning at Costco so I will have plenty of time to take care and love your pets while you’re away. I have a very nice fenced in yard lots of room to run. I have a female lab named Harper, who would love a friend to play with while you’re away.
“Elizabeth was amazing to work with. Incredibly professional, friendly and responsive. I felt so safe leaving her with my cat Shredder, especially given her background in pet care and veterinary medicine. Thank you so much for your grace and understanding during the past 2 weeks, it truly meant a lot to me. 100% would recommend to anyone in the area seeking pet care.”

Nathaly was amazing! This was our first time using Rover for our two cats so we were a little nervous. She eased our minds immediately as she was punctual and made sure to send lots of updates! She also was kind enough to scoop their poop which I know made the cats super happy. We appreciated all of the care and attentiveness she provided. We will definitely be booking with her again on our next trip! Thank you again Nathaly!!!
I was Very worried with leaving my dogs for a few days. They have never been with anyone except for my family. Adriane exceeded my expectations. She was very patient with my dogs and updated me everyday. She even took some extra time out to hang out with them after their session was over. She even helped clean up the mess that my dogs made in the house. I’m already planning my next vacation just so I can book with her again.
Jennifer has been absolutely great. The cats can’t wait to see her. Always on time and will communicate if she can’t be. Knowledgeable about what to look for with senior cats without even asking. She has done house sits for me when I go away and mid day drop ins when I have long work days. My definite go to.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Middle River on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,936 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Middle River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 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.
