“I would highly recommend Xuan!! My dog was very content when I came home … walked, fed, water bowls filled, and a very happy dog! I could not have asked for a better person to take care of my fur-baby while I was away. Also, Xuan is very respectful of another’s home. I will definitely schedule Xuan again!!”
About: Hi my name is Victoria, I often go by Tori. I have pet sit and fostered for a few shelters for about 10 years now. I have worked with cats and dogs of all ages. I have worked with up to four dogs at once and would say that’s my max. I enjoy going on walks, giving pets and working on training new skills. I have also had experience caring for pets who are unwell so I am able to administer medications with proper instructions. I currently have a flexible schedule and am willing to work around your needs as best as I can. We can discuss what would work best. As of right now I’m not offering services in my home. It’s my preference (if possible) to meet you and your pet once prior to sitting so that they are familiar in some way with who I am.
“It was my first time using this service and Keira…hands down the best experience ever. Keira was wonderful with my cat and kept me in the loop at every stage. I will absolutely be using Keira again. She is the best!”
About: With 18 years of pet care experience, I specialize in providing top-notch dog sitting, walking, and petsitting services. My love for animals and commitment to their well-being ensure that your furry family members receive the best care possible. I offer personalized services to match your pet’s personality and routine. Whether your pup needs a quick walk, a playful visit, or a cozy staycation, I’m here to ensure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. I do teach basic obedience to dogs along with helping yourself understand the “why” in certain behaviors. Growing up with powerful breeds there is no breed I am not accustomed to and cannot handle. Pet care is a daily routine of mine as I have a fur baby of my own. Feeding bathing walking training are task I do daily In my home my dogs have their own place, a room specifically for them, designed for them. This is their home inside the home. Real cozy. I don’t crate my dogs anymore as they are older and have grown out of puppy ways. Nothings perfect but it works for my home. They have ample back yard space and we go on 5+ mile walk very frequently. I keep dogs to keep myself active and it’s always nice having a companion by your side. All my dogs I’ve raised since puppies, trained and taught myself so our bond is unshakable. I love my dogs my dogs love me it’s a win win situation. The same care I give my dogs will be given to your own at your discretion of course though that is my intention.
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.
“Jaiden did a great job with my doggies. When I arrived home they were happy and relaxed. They hadn't gotten into trouble while alone (past behavior). Even my neurotic agoraphobic senior dog warmed up to her. I'm very pleased.”
About: I grew up with multiple pets, including two cats in my childhood and a wonderful dog that I helped care for in her seniority, so I've been familiar with animals all my life. Currently, I own and aided in training a high-maintenance, special needs German Shepherd. He's a sweetheart, but he's definitely a commitment! Given his intensely anxious nature, he needs a patient hand to calm him often. He's also epileptic, so I am well practiced in attentiveness, administering medication, following specialized meal plans and the like if needed. I have also done pet and house sitting on many occasions, particularly for family and friends but for a wide variety of pets– from little dogs that didn't even reach my knee, to my own Shepherd, who stands just about as tall as my hip. I've house kept for up to a week, entertaining young dogs and going on daily walks, etc. I am always happy to be introduced to new little ones and have a high pain tolerance when it comes to their claws, so I don't mind when they get a bit rowdy, either! High energy or low, I will gladly make time for any fluffy friends who need a watchful eye. I am currently on track to earn a Bachelor's in the Arts from Towson University, which is about a 50 minute commute from my home. With this in mind, my current class schedule entails that Towson days are essentially unavailable; however, the rest of the week, I'm generally left plenty of room to take on pet care! Life is always busy, and while sometimes I wind up with too many commitments to do it regularly, I'll always make time for it when I can. Though my own home may not be an ideal place for another pet to spend nights due to my Shepherd's nervousness, I will gladly offer my time to visit others. I have previously found myself curled up on a couch with a pet I was taking care of overnight, or even falling asleep on the floor with them. So long as their pet parents are happy for me to do so, I will gladly stay wherever is most comfortable for the pet involved, and take food/water/sleeping arrangements where they are best suited. I also have a fair sense of direction, so I'm perfectly content on walks in unfamiliar places, especially when I have friendly doggos with me!
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
“Robyn kept in touch daily, kept our cat happy and well cared for, let us know about a power outage, and got our mail in when our requested hold did not occur. She followed our instructions. We are happy with her care for our home and cat.”
About: Hello, I’ve worked closely with dogs during my time in the Military. From big to small, there’s nothing I can’t handle. I can assure you, you’re furry friend is in great hands with me. I also look after cats and some reptiles I am available 7 days a week, if there are any requests I can make accommodations as well. I’m available 24hrs for all questions or concerns I have crates available in my home for boarding and am awesome dog park available for your fur baby to run and play in as well
“Ayanna has been coming by several times a week to play with our pup Charli. As Charli is a COVID puppy, my husband and I were worried about how she would adjust to us both being back in office. Ayanna has made the transition seamless. Charli is a herding dog, and so it is clear when she does/doesnt get enough stimulation during the day. Every time Ayanna comes to play with her, it is clear that Charli was well stimulated and exercised. We could not be happier with Ayanna, and are so grateful for how she plays with Charli and has helped her adjust to her new normal. Ayanna is very responsible and communicative, and Charli absolutely loves her time with her!!”
“Sarah was so kind and caring. She really made an effort to befriend my timid kitties and was able to win them over by the end of the week. She kept me updated through the week and made sure to include some cute pictures. Will book again!”
About: I've taken care of a dog in various formats since I was 14 years old. Currently I have three dogs that I have rescued and raised from various experiences where without me, they would have ended up worse off. I have extensive knowledge in pet care, wellbeing and injuries to keep a dog safe, happy and in a loving home. I've made it a point to understand dog nonverbal communication so that I can identify issues as they arise and keep my and your pets safe. My wife and I work opposite schedules most of the week meaning someone is home most of the day. I am an early riser often starting my day at 5am where I handle pet care until I leave for work around 7:30am. My wife takes over care until I return from work at 5pm and this is how our schedule runs Tuesday through Thursday. Monday and Friday we work the same shift so our pups will be unsupervised from 10am-5pm but are left in safe environments with plenty of mental stimulation and given potty breaks at 10am and extended breaks at 5pm when I arrive home. I am home all day on the weekends to take care of pet needs. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs are free to play in all day with my other pups who are very friendly to other dogs. We have dog crates already set up in the home that are used on as needed basis and lots of mental stimulation toys like kongs, puzzles and treat dispensing toys. For my dogs they eat twice a day in the morning and night and are allowed unlimited (supervised through security cameras and frequent checks) backyard time, where there is water and a dog house to cool off. The dogs get walked on a rotating schedule throughout the week. In others homes I am sure to follow the schedule of the owner and ensure the wellbeing of your pet.
About: I’ve taken care of my best friends and close family friends pets for over 5 years. They have spent nights at my house and I overall just enjoy spending time with dogs since I’ve always having pets around. I work part time at the moment and I have lots of free time I don’t mind working any time of day. Just not too early:) I have a fenced in yard and lots of space and lots of fun toys and space for outside time and play time. I love being and spending time being active outdoors as well

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Owings Mills
Jason was fantastic with our dog while we were gone. We were a little nervous since this was the first time we had left someone unknown with our dog and our dog can be a little “weird” in general when we leave him. However, he came downstairs every time Jason came without a problem. We got updates every time Jason came to the house which included pictures. He also independently initiated bringing in our packages and asking if we would like him to take our garbage to the curb. This was a great first experience using Rover and Jason and we will definitely be using him again in the future. Thanks again for everything!
We had a great experience with our sitter! Despite inclement snow weather, she was dependable and showed up as scheduled, which we truly appreciated. She followed all of our instructions carefully and took excellent care of both of our dogs. It was such a relief knowing they were in reliable hands. The best part of my day was receiving the videos and photos. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to others. This was my first time using this service and she walked me through it as well.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Owings Mills 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
