“Joshua was wonderful, he was timely, communicative, and our shy kitty absolutely loved him. If you are looking for someone dependable who loves your pet he is the one!”
About: We’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, so pet have always been a regular part of my everyday life! I know that sometimes this little things like walks or consistent feeding schedules can be the hardest part of having a pet! Allow me to take that weight from your shoulders! I have extensive experience with large dogs and puppies as well! I regularly housesit for homes with multiple animals and multiple species; dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, gerbils, and hamsters too! I’m currently working part time, but planning and scheduling are important to me. I am more often available in the mornings any day of the week. I value being consistent and reliable so I will only post availability that I’m sure will work! I will make sure to bring your pet everywhere with me! Clingy pets are my bread and butter! I have no problem hanging out as long as needed to always have an eye on your pets when they are in my care.
“Riley was great!! I recommend her to help you with your pet needs! She was great with feeding and medication administration and everything else with my Schweet babe needed!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide variety of animals and have been working with pets since I was 14. I’m passionate about helping animals and have experience supporting injured animals by getting them to rescues or helping care for them until they could receive proper support. I also have a dog named Oliver, who I adopted from a shelter 8 years ago, which has strengthened my patience and commitment to creating a calm, safe environment for pets. im full time in school at towson but my schedule is pretty flexible:) especially on the weekends or after or before classes im available completely I tend to be very cautious about who watches my dog because I care about him deeply and know he has a unique personality. Because of that, I’m always happy to follow any rules, preferences, or routines that help someone feel more comfortable. I truly understand how hard it can be to trust others with our fur babies, and I’m willing to go above and beyond to help create a safe, comfortable environment.
“I would highly recommend Karenna! She immediately made my senior cat feel comfortable and loved. She was communicating with me throughout my trip and showed how much she cared.”
“Sean and his partner Paulina were quick to respond to all messages and showed up on time, both to our meet and greet and to all three cat-sitting sessions while we were out of town. Our two babies were well fed and watered, and the more social one got some attention and play from Paulina too. The shy guy had a cleaned litter box to use when he came out of hiding after they left, but before that they even watered the flower baskets on our porch as a heat wave was starting. Thanks again Sean and Paulina!”
“Tabitha took great care of my needy and noisy older cat with separation anxiety. It’s great to know I can leave her in experienced hands. Would love to book again if she’ll have us!”
“Samantha was a great repeat walker for us! AlaHs responsive, and she followed my pedantic neighborhood dog rules to a T (again lol I'm so sorry but great work), avoiding the houses she had to avoid, etc. I would trust her again!”
“Sophie is simply the best! She is very reliable and caring. We felt confident leaving our three cats in her care, especially our 15-year-old cat with dementia. During our trip, we knew our cats were in great hands. We are already looking forward to our next international vacation, knowing Sophie will take care of our beloved pets.”
“Iman was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Ammo. She was always on time, extremely attentive, and provided detailed updates after every walk, which gave me great peace of mind. She was also very considerate about the weather, always reaching out during extreme heat or rain to make sure Ammo would be safe and comfortable before heading out. She followed every instruction I left perfectly and clearly cared about Ammo's well being as if he were her own. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I will definitely be booking with Iman again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!”
About: As a former dog owner, I’ve played a crucial role in nurturing our furry friends. Meeting all essential needs- and more- I have skills in training, caring for, and loving animals as they deserve. Coming from a pet-loving family, my experience dates back to my formative years. I am a graduate student and therapist, with enough flexibility and autonomy within my schedule to treat your pet with TLC! Thursdays-Mondays are my most flexible times, depending upon the service requested. Let’s chat and figure out what works best so your pet is cared for when you are away. I live in a pet-friendly community with ample outdoor space to go on walks. The phrase, mi casa es su casa, applies to all of my guests - even my 4-legged friends. Your pet is allowed to enjoy the space fully, and can also be crated per the owner’s request based on the dog’s usual routines.
About: I’ve grown up living with dogs all my life. One of my favorite parts of the day is coming home to their love, excitement, and kisses! I have taken care of dogs with all types of personalities, from dogs that are nervous shy to dogs that are reactive, so I know how to handle all sorts of dogs in all sorts of situations. I have experience in both feeding and walking dogs for the day as well as staying with dogs overnight. I would love to get to know your pet and give them the love and care they need! I’m currently working full-time during the week, but am available on weekends and federal holidays to take care of your pups while you are traveling or out for the day! I will make sure to take your dog on a nice, long walk (as long as it’s not too hot!) and give them lots of play time. I know how much dogs value love and affection from people, and I don’t want them to feel neglected after a walk. If your dog prefers space, that’s fine too! I’m happy to accommodate your pup and give them whatever they need.
About: I have owned my own kitties for 15+ years. I have also fostered medical and special needs cats and dogs for 3 years as well. I will love your babies like my own! I am currently not working so I am available full time. I do require 1 days notice for bookings and 1 day cancellation. However, please feel free to contact me to discuss specific times and details. I have a big 2 bedroom condo and 2 kitties who love other animals! I am also able to follow any crating instructions your pet may require.
About: I grew up with and surrounded by pets and have been helping pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors since I was 8 years old! While I do have a full time job, I have plenty of time to spare to watch and care for your pets over the weekends! I live in an apartment, so while I don’t have a fenced yard, my complex has a large dog park for plenty of exercise and playtime. For cats, my apartment has lots of space to roam, cozy hiding spots, and even a cat tree for climbing and relaxing!
About: I have taken care of animals all of my life. I have had cats all my life, even had 9 once because mama decided to have kittens. I have had mostly medium to small dogs including beagals, Maltese, Lhasa Apso, etc. My sister has a husky and I also help dog sit her as well. I currently have a jackapoo, tabby cat, and a ball python. I love taking care of animals and find it fun to meet new furfriends. I work full-time, but I am able to drive to a place to and from work, especially on the weekends when I am off work. I am very nice and I am willing to follow all steps needed to make your pet(s) feel safe while you are away. I will always have treats for doggies and some catnip for the kitties.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pikesville
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog while we were out of town! We really appreciated the updates and the love you showed him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely trust you again and highly recommend you!
Kristen A. is a lifesaver! I ended up having to go to the ER after thinking I can just get taken care of at the urgent Care. That led to almost a full week Hospital stay, my pup Oreo was home and because I didn't know how long I'd be there thinking maybe a day or so I decided maybe to try doing drop-in appointments and allowing him to stay home. She came faithfully twice a day giving my dog so much love and attention! She is very good with communication giving updates on how he was doing and sending copious pictures, and very sensitive to my situation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for drop in care!
Shakiyla was an absolutely fantastic sitter! She is so knowledgeable about how to care for a big, very loving but also high energy dog like my Alba, and I felt very comfortable knowing my baby was in her care while i was so far away. She is professional, kind, responsive, and an excellent trainer as well, and I will absolutely be requesting her services in the future. Highly recommend, especially if you have a bully breed dog!

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 Pikesville 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.

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.
