“Laura was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. This way my first time using rover and I was skeptical considering these are people you don’t know and I would be letting them in my home. Laura was amazing. My dog loved her. Everything was left as was when we returned. She communicated very well and pleasant. Sent us plenty of photos and effectively communicated. We will be using her and her only in the future. Great job Laura! And thank you again! We can’t thank you enough!!!!”
“I’m SO IMPRESSED with Erica ??????❤️❤️?She gets full 5 ✨ from me no question. I was alerted when she entered my home and when the visit began. I received photo of My baby girl Sheeba. The deets were awesome!! I’m was super nervous letting stranger in my home and taking care of my girl but Erica is AMAZING!! She was happy and excited when I got home. Thank you sweetie sooooo much for being an Awesome Rover employee and I will officially be repeat user ????? Belinda West?????”
“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!”
“Kelly is simply the best. I think this is the third year in a row we have used her to watch our animals during our family vacation. She is very easy to communicate with, and responds quickly to any messages that you send. She is also very flexible and was able to accommodate adding on an additional day for us. She doesn’t simply just check on your animals. She spends time with them, and gets to know their personalities. The daily updates and pictures are an added bonus to what she offers while you are away, which keeps your mind at ease that everything is going smoothly.Kelly goes the extra mile, by taking care of the animals as if they were her own. She noticed that our litters needed to be filled up more, so she added more litter. She also took the trash out, because you know, it would probably stink…. Kelly does the little “extra” things, that you don’t even ask her to do, because she actually cares. We will continue to be repeat customers in the future, because we know that our animals will be well taken care of, and then some!!!”
“Jennifer did an excellent job once again with my dog Jax. She is someone who I use regularly and she is always available and willing to check in on Jax when I need to go out of town.”
“Kathleen did a great job taking care of our old beagle. It really gave us peace of mind to have her checking in with us to let us know how our old guy was managing.”
About: I've had dogs and cats from puppies and kittens through adults. Frenchies are a demanding breed because of breathing, overheating and diet. Over 5 years she's perfectly healthy. The cats have had heart and thyroid problems which required daily medication that increased their lifespan by years. I am retired after 30 years as a telecom engineer. But still young and healthy. I can juggle my schedule to meet your needs with short notice. I know how to mix food if necessary and add supplements or medications. I medicated geriatric cats for years. My dog occasionally needs flea medicine and has taken pain medication when she hurt her foot awhile back.
“Emma was fantastic watching our new puppy ! She left great updates on our dog and provided adorable photos. Emma was super flexible with our slight changes of drop in times. I definitely recommend Emma and would use her again!”
“Heather came through for us after we had a late cancellation for a cat-sitting. I reached out to several Rover sitters and she was the very first to respond. It meant the world to go on our family trip assured that our boy was in good hands. Heather sent photo updates and promptly messaged back: would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have 5+ years of dog walking/sitting experience. I am a volunteer at a local animal shelter and love being around and taking care of dogs. I will love your dog like he/she is my own. If your dog isn't comfortable staying with me, I will come to their happy place. I love to cuddle and will guarantee your dog will be in great hands. I am the perfect temporary companion for your dog! I will also spoil your dog with all the love and affection and probably too many treats. I also have some experience with dog training and can work on commands that he/she already knows and possibly teach them something new! As an added bonus, I am a photographer and will spoil you with all the amazingly adorable photos of your fur baby while they are in my care. I work part-time so there is plenty of time for me to take your dog on a walk or simply let out for a potty walk while with you are at work or away from home. Unfortunately I am unable to host your pets at my home, due my current dog, but I will treat your home as if it were my own. I will clean up after myself, tidy up, and make sure to pick up any poop in the yard and of course on walks. I am here to help give your dog a well-deserved potty break, walk or fun adventure while you are away. I was on staff and currently volunteer at an animal shelter so you can trust I will care for your pets in the most humane and safe way possible.
“So glad I found jackie she truly lived up to all her wonderful reviews with updates and pictures I can't recommend her enough and I will definitely tell my friends and family where to go if they need someone thank you again 😊 💜”
“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of my rabbit, Cypher, while I was away. She sent lots of pics and didn’t mind cleaning his cage to keep him comfortable and happy. Staying on schedule with his food is a big one for me and she did well at keeping things according to plan. I’m super glad I had her help while on vacation!”
“Maria was a warm, confident, strong and kind caretaker for our old man pup, Flounder. She was on top of everything, very communicative and flexible. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”

“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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Middle River on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,823 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.
