“We were away for six days and felt so comfortable leaving our Siamese cat, Gus, with Michelle. Gus has a lot of personality and usually doesn't like many people, but Michelle truly had the magic touch! He was completely at ease and so cuddly with her. She was great at communicating and we loved getting all the photo updates. We will definitely book her again!”

About: Whether you’re traveling for work or just need a helping hand, I provide trustworthy and loving dog sitting in a safe environment. With reliable communication, updates, and plenty of care, your pup will feel comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I work part-time from home, and my husband also works from home. We have 3 kids who are in school, and love animals as much as we do - so your pets are guaranteed lots of snuggles! We have a fenced-in yard with one indoor/outdoor cat, Molly. We offer lots of yard play time, and walks throughout the pet-friendly neighborhood. Molly is used to other animals being around, but can easily enjoy some time in our finished basement, should they have any issues getting along.
About: I love taking care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. My Rottweiler recently passed away and I am looking to continue caring for animals outside of my own. A number of people have trusted me with walking their dogs, housing their dogs and kitties, and even bathing them. I’m happy to help you next! I am a work from home student, so I will have all of the time in the world to give your pet-child all of the attention in the world! Although my yard is not fenced, I live in a safe neighborhood and will never take my eyes off of your pet. I will always keep their leash with me, seat belt secured, and doors locked.
“Nathaly is caring and dependable. My pets look forward to their time with her playing and being snuggled. I have an elderly dog who requires medication and a special diet and Nathaly carries her down the steps and makes sure her needs are met. She is a loving person and flexible with my crazy schedule and long shifts. 💕”

About: I have cared for cats and dogs for years. I rescued one cat to later find out she had seizures. She got proper treatment, love and attention, and lived to be fifteen.

“Elise was wonderful, she provided lots of photos and great note each day. She checked on my 5 pets (3 cats and 2 dogs) daily for several days while we were out town. I had a family member staying with them at night. I will defiantly try and book Elise again in the future.”
“Patricia did a wonderful job taking care of our boys! Our one cat requires daily medication and Patricia took care of him perfectly. Both of our cats were happy and healthy after our week long trip”

From growing up with my own pets, and caring for others, I have tons of experience I have dogs, cats, frogs, and fish. My babies are cared for and loved on daily. I am happy to accommodate your pets schedule to keep their routine as close to normal as possible. I understand how stressful it can be having someone care for your pets. At my home, you can have piece of mind that we have a fenced in yard. If caring at your home, I can offer drop in visits, or stay there. Daily check ins will be provided.
About: Compassionate & Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust Life gets busy, and sometimes you need an extra hand to ensure your pets get the love and care they deserve! Whether you're traveling for work, navigating unexpected life events, or simply need support juggling it all, I’m here to help!!☺️ With over two years of professional experience as a doggy daycare attendant and handler, I’ve supervised playtime, feeding, and enrichment activities for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up surrounded by animals, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal psychology, which helps me communicate effectively with pets and ensure they feel safe and loved. Currently, I’m a proud pet parent to a 6-year-old dog and a 1-year-old cat, who live harmoniously thanks to my expertise in bonding and desensitization. I’m compassionate, empathetic, and dedicated to making pet care my top priority. From pet-sitting and drop-ins to administering medication and handling cleanup, I provide reliable, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to keep their furry companions happy and healthy. Let me bring that same level of care and dedication to your beloved pets! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine since I work from home and am on break from school until February. This gives me plenty of flexibility to offer drop-in services and provide your pets with the attention and care they need while you're away. When caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. For drop-in visits, I ensure your pet's routine is followed and that they’re in a safe, secure environment. I take extra precautions, especially with dogs, by making sure all cords and potential hazards are put up and out of reach to prevent any accidents. For dogs, I also provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and enrichment to keep them happy and engaged. If a situation arises where drop-ins are not sufficient and your cat needs boarding, I offer a peaceful, safe solution with my custom-built catio outside my patio. This enclosed space allows your cat to enjoy fresh air and a secure outdoor experience, while still being protected and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I am committed to creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your pet.
About: I’m Dan and I love dogs. I’ve always had a K-9 companion and love the company dogs provide. Walks, fresh air and playtime are things I like just as dogs do. I’m caring, loving, and respectful and always treat others the way I want to be treated. I’ve had a dog all throughout my life and have experience caring for animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities! I have the most experience with Black Labradors, German Shepherds and Beagles, but would care for any pup. I understand how hard it is to be away from your pup so I’ll be in consistent communication, sending photo and text updates so you know how much fun your pup is having in my care. I have a flexible schedule so I can provide the perfect amount of love, activity, and play time in the care of your pup! I can’t wait to get to know you and your dog, creating a communicative, kind, and respectful working relationship. I will provide the same love, care and attention that I would provide my own dog to yours. It’s in my nature to go the extra mile to go above and beyond to make your dog feel like they’re at home! When I’m not spending time with animals, I spend my time working full-time at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. Even though I do work full-time, this will not get in the way of providing an excellent stay for your K-9 companion. I am very flexible and accommodating in order to provide the best possible care for your K-9 friend. I work full-time, however I can still take your dog for a brisk walk in the morning and evening. I am off on the weekends so your dog will have plenty of exercise and play time. I have fenced dog park right behind my apartment where your day can be active and interact with other dogs from the neighborhood. I can also crate your dog if necessary.
About: I have worked with all sizes of dogs and have worked with multiple pets at a time for the past 10 years. I am available to stay overnight and am available for walks and drop in visits on my work from home days. I absolutely adore senior dogs and rescues as those have been the dogs that have personally come into my life but I love them all :) I absolutely love every aspect of working with animals and work very hard to communicate with you about your expectations of care for your dog. I also always make sure to send photos and texts giving you updates about how your dog is doing while you're away! I really just enjoy spending time with your pets and if you have a dog that loves going places I always love to take them out and about. If needed, I am also comfortable with administering medications for your pets. In my client's home I respect the rules of their home. It's my place to make sure your pets are taken care of the way that you want! So whatever are their normal routines and rules is what I strive to follow. I especially love if part of their normal routine is treat giving! I work from home on Mondays and Thursdays making me available for walks and drop in, I am also off work every other Friday and my schedule is fairly flexible! I find it really important to follow the rules and manners set by the pet parents. I have personally raised rescues with unclear pasts so am also very aware of how to socialize dogs appropriately and respect their boundaries so they feel safe and I can earn their trust.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Parkville
Ms. Elizabeth was a lifesaver when my previous dog sitter canceled last minute due to a scheduling conflict. She stepped right in without hesitation, and I am incredibly grateful for her kindness, flexibility, and willingness to help. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. Thank you so much again!

Erin was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Lola, while we were away for a week. She stopped by twice a day to walk her, feed her, and give her plenty of attention. Lola adored her from day one. What really impressed us was Erin’s calm, thoughtful care during an unexpected heat wave. She kept us updated, adjusted Lola’s routine to keep her safe, and made sure she stayed healthy and comfortable despite the weather. Her communication was timely, kind, and incredibly reassuring. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup — the best sign of all. We highly recommend Erin as a sitter to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly attentive.

Laura was so great! She came right on time, did a 30ish minute walk, and spent the remainder of the time feeding/playing with/enriching Brinkley. She was willing to work with a high energy puppy who doesn’t know personal space yet, and handled it wonderfully. We would absolutely love to have Laura look after Brinkley again.

Our 8 year old chocolate lab thinks Michael is the best....and so do we! Recently he took care of Ladybug in our home for five days and everything went perfectly: Many updates and pics reassured us that she was being well taken care of. Michael was also clearly respectful of our home. We returned to a happy and healthy Ladybug and a neat and orderly house. We are so grateful to have found Michael! The most recent check-in on Ladybug went just as well, allowing us peace of mind that all was well with our pup when we were out.
Katie was wonderful! She was available to help me out on short notice and was dependable, communicative, and caring. I had total peace of mind knowing my pup was in her hands. Katie was easy to work with and gave Penny lots of love. I will definitely book with her again; highly recommend!

We are so grateful for Angie and can’t recommend her enough! She came by twice a day to feed and let our beagle, Brady, out while we were traveling, and she made everything so easy and stress-free. Angie was super communicative, keeping us updated on all of Brady’s daily antics (and we know he can be a bit of a troublemaker!). She even went the extra mile by stopping by an additional time when Brady managed to get into some food he shouldn’t have—classic beagle behavior lol! Overall, she was wonderful to work with, and we’ll absolutely be booking her again for future trips. Thanks so much, Angie!

From the moment Shelby walked into our home and our most reserved cat was the first to greet her, I knew we were in good hands! I always stress about traveling without my pets, but Shelby's calm demeanor put me at ease. She stayed in touch throughout our trip, sent lots of pictures and was very respectful of our home. We will absolutely be contacting Shelby whenever we travel in the future!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Parkville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Parkville 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Parkville with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
