“Finding Katie through Rover was the best thing I have ever done for myself and for my puppies. 3 words: she is amazing I went to California for 5 days and knowing she was taking care of my babies make my trip worry free. She sent plenty of updates and pictures so I could see they were happy. Beesly (my littlest) is generally standoffish and shy. I have real photographic evidence of Beesly covering Katie with 😘 If you are looking for a great, kind and responsible caregiver for your babies she really is the one.”
“Sydney did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Murphy! It was clear he was very comfortable with her. She also gave updates throughout the vacation. Would definitely recommend Sydney!”
“Nicole is absolutely wonderful! My Trixie is older and has an injured leg, so she needed special attention. Nicole took such loving care of her & pampered her little injury so when we got home she was actually walking better!! She also took great care of my house too!!! I would highly recommend her & will use her whenever I travel. Trixie loved her!!!”
“We have two pups that needed a sitter while we traveled abroad for 5 days. Kerry met them in advance and we had complete peace of mind that our pups would be in good hands. Our younger pup is a bit skittish around strangers, but Kerry kept us posted with pictures and updates along the way so we could see our pup getting more comfortable. Our older pup has a lot of energy and Kerry handled him like a champ! Came back to happy pups and she also took great care of our home. Highly recommend!”
“We had to leave our dog Birdo for two weeks and we were so nervous, but Aleya did an amazing job taking care of our girl and the house! Even though we were in and out of signal, Aleya sent us consistent updates and photos every single day, kept up with our dog’s medication, and even took care of our plants. When we got home, everything was clean and Birdo seemed extremely happy and well cared for. We will definitely be booking Aleya again to take care of our dog if we need to go out of town!”
“She was able to housesit for our two fur babies while we saw some family. She had great communication and updates and we were very reassured they were in the best hands possible getting all the loves and walks. Ten stars.”
“Naya is AMAZING! We contacted her last minute for a very complicated case; our dog was coming out of the ER after being admitted for cluster seizures and she was still at risk for seizing again. Naya handled everything calmly and with excellent knowledge. She was a needle in a haystack for us! She asks great questions, and she is attentive and communicative. Thanks, Naya!!”
About: I am a big animal lover! I have had many animals growing up (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pig & ducks!) I also pet sit for a family who had 3 cats, I have worked with them for 1 year now. I currently have an orange tabby named Theo, he is my world. Me & my spouse adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society & he has been the perfect addition to our little family. I am here to love your fur babies! Please feel reach out me with any questions. Thanks! I work a regular full time job. I have fostered 2 cats before and it was a wonderful experience. Most of the time spent with the cats, would be in the morning and all evening long after work to take care and love them. I have an apartment building that is very secure, you can only gain access the to building if you have a key fob. The animals have plenty of space to move around and be free, or sleep super comfy on my furniture.
“Faith was wonderful with our cat, Bitty! She is 17 with severe kidney disease and requires a lot of extra care and medication. Faith is gentle and kind and gave Bitty all of her meds for us while we were away. She was super communicative and sent us adorable pictures! I recommend Faith to anyone whose critters need a little bit of extra TLC and will continue to trust her with our little fur babies ?”
About: 📸 See It for Yourself: You can check out Barks by Bryce on Instagram for photos and updates from past stays. Happy to answer any question you have 😀 I'm a full-time junior studying business law, so I have a flexible schedule that lets me give your pet real attention, not just a quick in-and-out. Your dog will be treated like a true member of the family, with constant supervision, plenty of affection, and a consistent daily routine. My mom is also registered on Rover and will be right there loving on your pup too, she calls herself their honorary godmommy 😊. 🐾 Small Group Boarding: I keep things limited to no more than 3 dogs at a time, including Storm, so every dog gets a calm, attentive environment where they can play safely and rest easy. 🐾 Senior & Special Needs Care: I'm happy to care for senior dogs and pets with special needs. Since these dogs may need extra attention or physical assistance, I'll work with you directly on the details based on what your dog requires. 🐾 Separate Feeding: To avoid any food guarding or anxiety, every dog is fed separately. I do have an apartment, however there is tons of safe and surveilled space to walk dogs and they will easily be able to go on mile+ walks if need be. My dog is another member of the family and I do mean that literally. She is treated as such and even eats at the same time as us (when she feels like it) and your dog will be treated no different than her as all pets deserve the best.
“Jason did an excellent job house sitting with our dog. Jason was prompt, responsive, and was excellent at communication. He left our house neat and clean. He did an excellent job. We will most definitely employ his services again!”
About: I am recently a certified veterinarian assistant who has 10 years experience with dogs and cats. I have done overnights, drop ins to let the dogs out to run and play plus dog walking. I'm currently unemployed and free majority of days, the times I'm available are from 12 PM to 3 AM on most days and I can provide frequent care I have a veterinary assistance certification so I'm trained on how to properly care for dogs and cats while also having 5 pets of my own that I care for daily
“Regina did an awesome job taking care of my pups! She has a naturally calming energy. I've never seen my dogs NOT bark at someone who enters our house, but with Regina, they didn't make a peep. They just jumped into her lap and made themselves at home!”
“Annah was AMAZING!! She took great care of our 2 dogs and sent us the best pictures ever. We could tell she truly cared for our boys and made sure we were always updated on the day! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter”
About: I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I have dog-sat for one year. I also have experience caring for pets within my family. I am a college student, therefore, I have the summers off. My schedule is flexible, and I am available full-time. I can stop by when needed. I understand the deep love others have for their pets. Therefore, I want to ensure pet parents feel comfortable when away. I will communicate with owners and send updates about their pets. I will also ensure that spaces are clean and the pets are attended to!
About: I've had dogs my entire life; I currently have a 7 year old mix breed who rescued me from the Baltimore Humane Society. My mother trained dogs when she was in college and showed me how when I was young. I am a complete dog lover and love what they bring to our lives. I know how important they are to their people, as mine is my world. Your dog will be treated like a VIPuppy and a friend in my home! I hope to have tons of fun getting to know your pup and what he or she needs from me. It really can be like making a new friend. Please know that I will take your dog's care very seriously and will do anything I can to put you at ease with trusting your dog in my care. I am currently working a flexible schedule and can be available morning, noon, or night with some notice. My personal schedule includes making arrangements to care for my dog as well, so I know that can be stressful at times. Making sure the dog in comfortable is always my first priority. That can be different for each dog. Some may just want to smell the whole place, others may just need a lap to sit in. It's all about reading the animal and trying things until you find what comforts that particular one.
About: I’m particularly fond of taking care of the most finicky and quirky pets with care, firmness and patience. Skilled at administering meds, going for long walks and spoiling with treats. I work per diem, so I have a lot of time to spare with your pet! Available for boarding on the weekends anytime after 2pm. I have a cat tower at home that’s strategically placed in front of a birdfeeder attached to the window. It makes for an excellent front row seat for hours of birdwatching.

Lilith was a HUGE help with our initially anxious/reactive dog. She is professional, knowledgable, and cares so much and so well for dogs. It was such a relief knowing that our dog was in such good care the whole time we were away. We are so appreciative and grateful, and would absolutely recommend/book again!
Rubi met my cat Finn twice before taking him into her care for just over two weeks. She was very communicative and I could tell they bonded instantly. Any time I was worried while I was away, Rubi was quick to send photos and updates of Finn that put me at ease. Rubi is the only person I'll trust with Finn’s care going forward! 😊
Jamie was awesome! She stayed in our home to pet sit while we were out of town for a few days, and it worked really well. She is enthusiastic and her love for animals is obvious. Our animals look calm and happy and she left everything neat as a pin. She is also super responsive with messaging. I definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Patapsco
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Patapsco is $68 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $100 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 November 2026, there are 7,992 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Patapsco. 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 Patapsco 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 Patapsco 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 Patapsco 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
