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.
“Our pup took to Zana immediately. Zana is naturally at ease around him and interacts with him in a sweet manner. This was our first visit since the meet and greet. Looking forward to booking Zana again.”
“Asia is truly wonderful, she went above and beyond and my dog was very happy! she is very neat! she sent me photo updates and i was so relaxed knowing my puppy was in great hands, we are truly blessed to have encountered her on rover!”
About: Hi there, I’m Gaby! I’ve had 2 dogs in my home since I can remember and have been a cat mom since 2024. My family has adopted each of our dogs from rescue shelters and I got my fur baby from BARCS. I love to meet new animals, play with fur babies, and give all the loving possible. I am always up for play time, a walk, or cuddles if needed! With hybrid work availability I would love to help care for any animals that may need some extra assistance while you’re working or away for the day/weekend. I am available most days/nights and almost every weekend if necessary throughout the summer. I am open to stopping by, walks and other activities. Often free on weekends and early mornings for extra walks and cuddles. Maintaining their routine and whatever is most helpful to their needs. Follow schedule if so. I am often working from home and available. Let the animal acclimate, lots of cuddles (or personal space), walks around the neighborhood. Make sure it is comfortable for the pup and their needs

We can’t wait to create some amazing memories together 🐾 I board pets 7 days a week and work from home full-time for the past 5 years, so I’m always around to supervise and shower your dog with cuddles! Midday cuddles are the best! My flexible schedule allows for plenty of walks and playtime throughout the day. Your pup will feel right at home in my cozy space! As a mom, I’m super vigilant about pet care—of course! You won’t have to worry about any toxic foods or cleaners around your dog.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve had dogs since I was a baby, love dog sitting, and volunteered for three years with Passport Rescue at Petco, where I spent hundreds of hours caring for cats. I’m attentive to routines, patient with different personalities, and take pride in keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat every pet like my own and truly love what I do. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and happy to work with pet parents to find times that fit their pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, medications or care guidelines provided by each owner. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and always make sure pets are secure before entering or leaving the home. I respect both your space and your pet’s routine, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 and love animals of every kind. Along with taking care of my family's pets, I have had training to become a certified babysitter for guide dogs for the visually impaired. I’m currently working part time Monday through Friday remotely, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I only work in the mornings, so afternoons or early morning walks or visits are ideal. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and boardings on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm and all day Mondays and Thursdays. I’ve grown up with dogs and am an animal lover at heart so caring for pets in my home or yours comes easily to me. To ensure your pet gets the care they need I will ensure to take them outside for plenty of potty breaks and walks, and lots of snuggle time when we're inside. I’ll also make sure to check-in with their individual feeding requirements and schedule based on your instructions.
“I was on a cruise, my dog was sick (at home), my son/dog sitter got sick and I needed someone to take my dog to the vet - Jalen said yes w/o hesitation! I ended up having him walk her for a few days but just the fact that he said yes speaks volumes about his character and love of animals. I will use him again and again and again. Thank you Jalen.”

About: **About me** I am 31 years old and currently living in Baltimore with my husband and our two cats. I have been around dogs and cats of every shape, size, and temperament my entire life, and have been pet sitting regularly for 18+ years. **About my services** I currently live in an apartment with my husband and our two cats. Because of this, I am unfortunately unable to keep your pet overnight at my home, but I am more than willing to come to your home and will provide the most comfortable experience possible for your pet. **About my neighborhood** I currently reside in the Cedarcroft neighborhood in Baltimore, and I can easily commute around the city and county. I am currently working at a bar in Baltimore, which requires me to go in later in the day/evening Thursdays thru Sundays, for approximately 8 hours. Please keep this in mind if booking for a weekend. However, this will not hinder my ability to care for your pet during the day or stay at your home overnight and give them the attention they deserve otherwise. I will make sure your pets feel safe and comfortable with me any way that I can. With the at-home service, I know how important it is to ensure your pet does not feel intimidated or scared in their environment. I will go above and beyond in ensuring that they are in their regular routine, filled with all of the love and care that they need.
“Bito was an absolute saint with our two boys. Nothing felt rushed and Bito truly spend quality time with them while we were away. Thank you for everything.”
“This is the second time Jun has come in clutch for me and my cats with drop-in visits when I had travel scheduled. He’s diligent, respectful of the property and my cats love him. I’d highly recommend Jun for your pet care needs!”
About: As a pet owner, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else's care. I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels secure! I currently work full-time but love spending my free time caring for animals! I'm primarily available during weekday evenings and on weekends for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. When caring for pets in their own homes, I respect their established routines, follow all care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I also believe communication is key! I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands.
“Nasha was amazing! She went above and beyond while we were away to take care of our pup. Great communicator and kept us up to date with check-ins and photos while we were away. We’re new to the city and were hesitant to have someone new watching our pup. Nasha quickly put our hesitations at ease the moment we met her and followed through, making for happy pup parents coming home to a happy pup. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Nasha first and foremost the next time we need a sitter.”
“Constance was wonderful! We booked her for drop-in visits to administer medication for our cat, who is on a very strict regimen. She was open to learning our process and was very attentive to our cat’s needs. She went above and beyond the administration, topping off food and water bowls, cleaning him up a bit and giving him snuggles. Getting the updates and pictures from her while we were away really gave me a lot of comfort, as I knew he was in good hands. She even left a sweet note and picture of our boy for us when we returned from a very long flight, which I appreciated so much. It was just such a nice and personal touch. Would definitely book her again in the future! Thank you, Constance!”
About: I grew up with at least one dog in my home since I was born until I was 19. I loved my pups and taking them outside to play. I also have experience taking care of a client’s dog and cat. I have experience with several different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am available from 5pm-10pm Monday-Thursday most weeks. I can also work Fridays at any time! I have a full time job, and am looking to take care of pups after work. I can feed, brush, walk, and play with your fur babies! I have experience with dog crates as well. I’m down for getting active or relaxing with your pup, depending on their needs! :) I work during the day, but am more than happy to help care for your pup after work! If you need someone weekly to do check ins, I’m your girl! I will do whatever it takes to make sure your pup is well taken care of. Safety is definitely a number one priority for me!
“Thank you so much for such a great first experience with this app! Seritta did such a great job taking care of my fur babies. She was great at communicating, sent pictures, gave my boys some play time and everything! Would recommend!”
“Melody is wonderful and has become my official in-home “Basil watcher!” (FYI: Basil is my pooch ☺️) Melody is timely, communicative, takes LOTS of amazing pictures, trust worthy, and most importantly loving with dogs. I have only experienced two (2) Rovers from this app, the first one (1) I knew personally but sadly moved out of the area. Thankfully, I found Melody and she is nothing short of amazing, hopefully I have her for many more “Basil watches” to come! Thank you, Melody for loving on my Basil Mae and being such a great and professional sitter.”

Meghan was very kind, attentive, and communicative with the first drop in visit with Junie. Junie took a little bit to warm up, but Meghan was patient and used her knowledge to help ease the situation. Junie got comfortable with Meghan and overall, I was very pleased.
Catherine has made traveling stress free for our family, and we’re so grateful we found her! We first booked her last minute over Memorial Day, and she was incredibly accommodating, calm, and thoughtful with both us and our 9 year old Border Collie/Lab, Raine, who gets a serious case of the blues and anxiety when we leave. Catherine met Raine exactly where she was, and by day 3 she was all tail wags when Catherine showed up. Her detailed updates gave us peace of mind, and we knew right away we’d book with her again. On our most recent trip, Raine was excited to see her from the start, which says everything about how caring and fun Catherine is. She also handled an unexpected encounter with an unruly dog during a walk with good judgment and care, making sure Raine and everyone involved stayed safe. That kind of attentiveness means so much when you're trusting someone with your pup. I feel completely comfortable leaving Raine in her hands, and I’d recommend Catherine in a heartbeat. We already have future trips planned and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Crissy took great care of Vinny during her drop-in visit. We did a meet and greet first and she was super patient with him since he is slow to get to know new people. She asked great questions at the meet and greet, then gave thorough (and cute!) updates after the visit. He was comfortable with her and she kept his occupied and happy.
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.
Thank you so much for trying with my girl! She can be so shy to go out (sometimes you need to put her collar and leash on if she won't get out) but the most important thing was getting her meds on time, so thank you for doing it when I couldn't!! And thank you SO MUCH for the effort in trying to keep her well and changing your shoes etc. so there was less chance of her picking up anything when she's already sick, your kindness and effort is so very appreciated.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Parkville is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 per visit. 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 4,858 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Parkville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
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. 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
