About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover living in Severn with my two spoiled cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you're away. I have hands-on experience caring for cats and love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'm happy to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. For cats, I understand the importance of respecting their routines, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My current work schedule has me in the office 7am - 3:30pm. I'm available Monday - Friday anytime after 4pm, and am available overnight. Saturdays, Sundays & holidays are flexible! I can easily keep your dog separate from my two cats if needed. There is a (unfenced) yard that backs into the woods. My house is tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks, perfect to walk your pup.
“Chandler was amazing! She bonded with my two Siamese cats almost immediately, adapting to their individual personalities beautifully. She played with them, cuddled with them and probably treated them better than I do!! I loved the great photos that she sent throughout the day and evening, showing them at play and at rest. Also loved the fact that she took the time to run and empty the dishwasher, wash her linens , put fresh water in their bowls and clean litter boxes before she left. I highly recommend Chandler and will be inviting her back in the future to visit and take care of my cats!!”
“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!”
“Katherine was amazing with my girls!! She was able to do a meet and greet before our booking and ever since was very responsive and kept me update all the time. At the time of her stay she was very respectful of our home, and took amazing care of my dogs. Definitely will book again!!”
“Madeline watched my 3-month-old puppy a few times. My puppy loves her and feels safe with her. She is calm and loving and knowns how to handle an energetic puppy. Madeline sent me updates throughout the day with pictures. She is a wonderful pet sitter and we love to have her back. Highly recommend her.”
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.
“Karen took wonderful care of our dogs, Sam and Tito, for a full week while we were on vacation. She was incredibly responsive, always sending updates and photos when we asked, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She also left our home in perfect condition, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely book with Karen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!”
“Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Odenton
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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Odenton
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Odenton on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 10,026 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
