About: Growing up as the youngest of five kids in a dog-loving family, I have spent my entire life surrounded by pets. From growing up alongside our family dogs to caring for my own 11 lb Poochon, dogs are an essential part of my daily routine. I also have experience providing dog walking for my friends and short-period pet care for my siblings' dogs whenever they needed a trusted hand. Outside of adopting dogs, my family has experience fostering rescue animals, including two energetic puppies and a gentle senior dog, ranging from small breeds to medium and large sizes. This hands-on experience taught me how to read dog body language, help pets adjust calmly to new environments, and handle diverse temperaments across all stages of life. I am experienced in maintaining precise feeding schedules, managing exact meal portions, providing gentle exercise, and offering attentive, 1-on-1 care. All outdoor time and walks in our neighborhood are strictly conducted on a leash for maximum safety. Whether your dog needs structured daily routines, fun play sessions, or specialized small-breed or senior attention, I will care for them with the exact same dedication, love, and safety I give my own! I dedicate focused, flexible time to dog walking and pet care around my routine. I have open availability to fit your pup's needs, offering dedicated 1-on-1 time, reliable check-ins, and consistent daily routines that match your dog's preferred sleeping schedule and energy levels, ranging from gentle, relaxed days to active play sessions Safety and health are my top priorities. All walks are strictly conducted on a leash, and I am meticulous about following your instructions for exact meal portions, dietary needs, and food or environmental allergies. I am also comfortable and precise when managing any medication schedules or special health requirements, ensuring your pet remains safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.
“I cannot recommend Deara highly enough. She was very communicative, punctual, sends lots of pics and videos, cared for my pup so well…and my house was left sparkling clean. I had a good feeling about her right from the start and I feel so much better knowing my pup is in such excellent hands.”
“Riley did a fantastic job while we were away for 7 days. He did not leave Milo alone other than to run an errand or get something to eat. It was our first time leaving Milo and I was very hesitant but Riley was very responsive to all my inquiries and sent me pictures and texts about he was as doing. I would definitely recommend him and will refer him to all my friends. Thank you so much Riley for a job well done.”
“Jodie was AWESOME! She was very professional and a great communicator throughout the process. She also was our housesitter and left the house in great shape, very respectful! 5-Stars all the way. We will rebook Jodie for sure!”
“Chandler is truly one of a kind, and I cannot recommend her enough. Leaving your puppy with someone else can be nerve-wracking, but from the moment I connected with her, I knew my pup was in the best hands possible. She went above and beyond in every way, constant updates, adorable pictures, and clear communication that gave me complete peace of mind. It wasn’t just “watching” my puppy… she genuinely cared for and loved him like he was her own. You can tell she has a natural connection with animals, and my puppy absolutely adored her. When I came back, my pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of, which says everything. Chandler is reliable, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely, she’s it. I would give her 10 stars if I could!”
About: I’ve rescued many dogs in my life and I’ve had a lot of patience with all dog sizes from pit bulls to chihuahuas. I truly enjoy a pets company I’m back home between 1 and 4(latest) most days and have a lot of free time to take care of your pets needs and wants. I have done in home visits and take them for a walk at their necessary times as well as keeping them company and I have boarded dogs in my home making sure to keep their schedule intact and add a few more walks
“Robert was amazing! I took a weekend trip and he provided house sitting for my 2 high energy dogs. They had a great weekend with him and I received adorable photo updates. Robert was respectful and kind in every interaction. I highly recommend his services and would book with him again!”
“Lindsey went above and beyond! This was our first rover experience and it was amazing! She sent plenty of updates to make us feel comfortable and was flexible with our flight cancellations which significantly helped us. We will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone we know.”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our dogs and cat (and bunny). Even with rough weather and power outages, the animals were in good hands. Thank you for keeping them healthy, happy and entertained.”
“We have never had a pet sitter before, and our 4 cats do well on their own for a few nights, but our new puppy needed care while we traveled out of state. Megan was fantastic! She asked clarification questions we wouldn't have thought of, took excellent care of all our fur kiddos, and we loved her updates and photos throughout the sitting experience. Our home was as we left it and Megan was genuinely enjoyable to interact with! Additionally, she is a veterinary technician and that provides extra comfort. Our kitties and puppy would gladly hang out with Megan again!”
About: I've take care of my family's animals while they went away on vacation and I also cared for family's animals when I use to babysit in their homes. I currently work full time on the army base 7-4 and I'm off on weekends. I get an hour lunch so I don't mind stopping past and feeding or walking your pet. I'm in a spacious apartment and can crate your pet if needed, I also have a very friendly cat in the home that sleeps most of the day on my bed.
“Benjamin is tentative, kind, and caring with Maizie. I’ve used rover in the past and it’s safe to say he goes beyond the standard of taking care of your pup.”
About: 5 years of dog care experience, I have a great feel for dogs and their needs. I exercise frequently, so your dog will get plenty of play time. I’m also not shy about the dirty tasks of cleaning up after messes in or out of the house. I try to be generous with treats and toys, but I also like to make dogs earn certain items. I’m also a full-time student, so during nap time I can silently study as your dog gets much needed rest. I’ve always wanted a dog, but my living situation will not allow it, so dog sitting is the next best thing. I look forward to meeting your family and taking care of them as if they were my own.
“We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with John. He took great care of Ace and updated us frequently. He was immediately responsive to our booking request and very professional. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and I plan to request him again in the future.”
About: I have watched dogs and cats for the past 2 years. I’ve always loved animals and bonding with them! I love dog walking and playing with dogs outside to make them happy. I am very good with caring for dogs and making them feel loved! I am not working another job but I do have practice most nights during the week. However, during the day I will always be around unless I am at the gym or running an errand! I have a fenced yard and 2 very friendly dogs. I take them out every 3 hours and keep a routine schedule of when to feed them. Any dog is able to sleep in my room and bed if they would like.
“Trishia was a great help during a time when I really needed it. I was at my niece's wedding far away from home, and she came to where I was staying so I could focus on the big event and spending time with my family. Trishia even brought treats for my dog and provided photos and updates. I highly recommend her to care for your pet.”

Jodie is always our go-to sitter for Tucker and Raven, and we absolutely love her! She takes such wonderful care of our pups and treats them like her own. She’s incredibly caring, dependable, and always keeps us updated while we’re away. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such good hands, and we never have to worry when they’re with her. We truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter and are so grateful to have her. Highly recommend Jodie to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!
Riley was an excellent pet sitter who took great care of our animals and our home for two weeks. He did everything that we asked, he was communicative and responsible, and he left the house in perfect order upon our return. I highly recommend him and would use him again.
B did a fantastic job of caring for my dog and cat in our home while we were away. We received many photos and updates throughout each day showing just how well our babies and our home were tended to. It was such a relief to know they were happy and healthy while under B’s care - would absolutely book B again in the future!!
Regina is such a wonderful sitter. She watched my very anxious dog for 2 weeks and I came back to a happy dog. She stayed in my home and everything was clean. She sent me photos of Sadie (my dog) daily and gave updates on her behavior as well. She even came by after just to visit and see how she was doing. I highly recommend Regina. Bonus she has military base access!
We hired Rachel to help while we were away for several days. I was nervous to leave, as my dog is very old and needs a lot of help (namely with getting up onto his hind legs). Rachel was wonderful with him and took the time (through two pre-visits) to meet Parker and understand his needs. She kept me updated every day with pictures and updates. She was also kind enough to check on our house after a huge storm rolled through the area. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and compassionate sitter who will treat your pet(s) like their own.
Jasmine was fantastic! She was very responsive, took great care of my pups, and kept me updated throughout their stay. I felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care, and it was clear they had a wonderful time with her. I would absolutely book with her again!
Samantha did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Sadie, while I was away. She gave me plenty of updates, and was very responsive. I could tell that Sadie was well cared for, and I knew that she was in great hands. I will definitely be asking Samantha to take care of Sadie again in the future.
Very grateful for Heather’s help while we had to go take care of a property overseas after a wildfire. Heather was very professional, friendly, responsible and kind. I loved that she was communicative and kept us up to date on everything while house sitting. Koda took to her right away and the whole experience made it very easy for us to not worry about what was going on at home and focus on what we needed to get done while away. Would definitely hire her again in the future!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Odenton is $37 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $83 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 9,830 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Odenton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Odenton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Odenton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Odenton 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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
