“Great communication, very reliable, couldn’t be nicer. Will 100% continue going back to. Great care for my special needs pug who has a vary involved routine and needs.”
About: I have 5 years of professional pet-care experience working in a doggy daycare, along with 10 years of experience providing dog walking and sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, as well as all energy levels — including very high-energy dogs. I offer dog walking, playtimes, and dog sitting. I love getting to know each dog’s individual personality and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors. I have experience administering pills and am open to learning how to care for dogs with additional needs while carefully following their specific care instructions. I’m a student at Towson University and a mom, so my schedule is planned around my classes and family responsibilities. I’m happy to communicate my availability in advance and work with you to find times that fit your dog’s routine. I’m flexible with walks, playtimes, and sitting, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your dog’s usual schedule and daily routine. Your dog’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have experience caring for dogs in a professional daycare environment. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, including dogs who need lots of exercise and stimulation. I always follow the owner’s instructions and pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs while they’re in my care.
“If I could give Tiffany 100 stars I would. I have moved recently and was not sure if i would be able to find a sitter who would take care of babies as well as I do. I can confirm Tiffany is that person, she went above and beyond my expectations and my babies were extremely happy when I returned. As long as Tiffany is available I will continue to book her!”
“Heather was great!! She watched my two kitties for a week while I was away paying them one hour visits each day. She took my cat meow outside and played with my other cat clementine and sent pictures of it all. I was so appreciative while I was gone! Will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I have taken care of many pets for friends and family. I have had experience with dogs of every size and every age and I can care for yours too! Currently I work full time with some rotating weekends in the future but I am available after 3pm and on days I am not working I can be available as early as 8am! I am also flexible with some times as long as we communicate! I am someone that would love to bring different toys and treats for your pets! I also don’t mind cleaning up after them as needed and love to emphasize stimulation for young dogs as well. Any accommodations you may need for your pet I am willing to abide by!

“I cannot possibly say enough good things about Erica! While Erica has watched our pets in the past, this was her first time with our newest fur babies. She was incredibly patient with our pups and their "behavior struggles". Incredible communication. She is simply the best!”
“Jennifer took care of my puppy, Maya in spite of last minutes request. She was flexible and reliable. She sent detail update each time with wonderful pictures! She is very sweet and caring person whom we could trust caring for our energetic puppy.”

“A must have when you need pets taken care of! I am a person who rarely trusts people with my dogs, and I am so glad I chose Sarah to take care of dogs. She is professional, accommodating, caring, and the dogs love her! I can be worry free when Sarah is looking after the dogs. Thank you so much!”
About: My own senior dog is a rescue who has had special needs throughout her life, and caring for her has taught me so much about patience, compassion, and really paying attention to what an animal is communicating. I’ve learned to recognize their needs and boundaries and understand that every pet has their own personality and way of communicating. I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family over the years, and one of the best compliments I hear is, “Our pet seems to really love you!” I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I treat every pet as an individual and give them the patience, attention, and affection they need. I am available for pet sitting, drop-ins or walks around my work schedule - my shifts are between 6-8 hrs Mon-Fri, so your pet will never have to wait too long for me to get back for a walk, feeding, or play time :) Weekends are typically more open and flexible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Having cared for my own rescue dog with special needs for many years, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and paying attention to an animal’s individual needs. I want every pet in my care to feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions and routines, keep a close eye on your pet, and communicate with you so you know how things are going while you’re away.
“Dorian was great! Our pup is a little shy and doesn't take to everyone quickly, but she was snuggling Dorian by the end of our meet and greet. She gave a nice recap of their playdate and sent a cute picture too. We will definitely have Dorian check on Mocha again!”
“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!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Middle River on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,788 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.
