“Absolutely fantastic sitter! She was warm and professional from our first meeting and gave Dobby top tier, attentive care all weekend. He was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. Highly recommend, and I look forward to booking her again soon!”
“Liz was a phenomenal sitter. We loved her warmth and kindness. Our baby gravitated to her right away. Liz made us feel comfortable which allowed us to go away a feel extremely comfortable. She communicated throughout the entire time and ensured us that everything was going smoothly. We hope to work with Liz again!”
“Dylan was wonderful with our pets! This was our first time leaving our dog so we were a bit nervous but our dog loved him! He took such great care of them and sent picture which we appreciated immensely. Definitely recommend and will be booking again for our next trip.”
“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.”
“Alyssa was great with our older dog and our younger dog for house sitting. She was flexible with our ever changing work/travel schedules. We look forward to working with her again.”
“Chandler did a fantastic job watching our Maltipoo at our home while we were on vacation. She was with him for 11 nights. As others have mentioned, she leaves the house better than how we left it. I am a helicopter dog mom and I asked for lots of photos and updates before we left and she delivered. She is also witty and takes the best photos and provides g funny updates. We would use her again and again. .”
“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!”
“Tyra was the best! Our babies absolutely loved her. She was very friendly and extremely professional. She sent us plenty of pup dates and we came home to a clean house with very happy pups! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Tyra is available the next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Tyra!”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Katherine's dog sitting services. She recently took care of our dog, Peanut, and did an amazing job. Katherine was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated daily with photos and details about Peanut's routine, ensuring she was happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
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.
“Samantha has cared for our dog (and home) twice now. Again we returned home to a happy pup and clean home. Samantha kept us informed and sent photos, and I wholeheartedly recommend her.”
“Lauren did overnight sitting in my home for a week and took care of my very needy Persian cat and 130lb Great Dane. She is super reliable, communicative, and left the house in better shape than she probably found it. Will absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Lauren!”
“Alexis contacted me for a last minute booking and she was flexible in working out a schedule to care my Princess. She was there like we agreed on and she send messages and pictures for every visit She also contacted us when Princess didn’t want to take her medication. She will definitely be my sitter from now on”
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.
“Kristina was a lifesaver for us for a last minute request to pet sit our dog, Phoenix. She was incredibly accommodating and communicative. She sent us updates and photos of our pup through our her stay, which was much appreciated. Kristina is incredibly professional and personable, and would trust her with our dog for future needs.”

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!!
We're very happy with Jodie's care for our fur babies! We have never used a house sitter before, but we wanted to try it because of the separation anxiety of one of our cats. We were nervous about it, but after our experience with Jodie, we'd totally do it again!
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.
