About: I've taken care of a multitude of pets since I was 8. Pet owners have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk, play with, and take care of their fur babies! I'm not currently working full time, so I have time to take care of your babies! I don't have a set schedule, so we will make sure we are on the same page before services start! I have a cat of my own, so I understand the level of cleanliness and safety needs inside the home! Communication is always key to ensure you and your pet's safety.

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.

About: My dad was a veterinarian and my mom was a vet technician, so I've always lived in a house full of pets. I've taken care of and house-sat for both dogs and cats, and even had a few goldfish. I've taken care of dogs of all ages growing up and love watching them grow! I'm currently awaiting an assignment on a wildfire team, so currently have plenty of time to go for walks and check in on pets/ When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are maintaining their established routine, ensuring their safety, and providing reliable peace of mind for the owner. * **Following Established Routines:** I strictly adhere to the owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and house rules. Keeping their environment and daily rhythm consistent helps minimize stress while their family is away. * **Safety & Home Security:** I maintain complete focus on safety, ensuring all doors, windows, and gates remain secure. During walks, I stay vigilant of surroundings and leash mechanics to avoid potential hazards or unwanted interactions with other animals. * **Attentive Care & Exercise:** I provide high-engagement attention, whether that means active exercise, interactive play, or quiet companionship depending on the pet’s energy level and age. * **Respectful House Care & Communication:** I treat the client's home with absolute respect, leaving things tidy and secure. After every check-in or walk, I send a brief update with photos so the owner knows their pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for. I approach every home visit with patience, clear attention to detail, and the same high standard of care I would expect for my own pets.

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 am a medical student looking to help care for pets in my community! I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards and frogs... oh my! I adopted two cats in the last year and have loved every minute of being their cat-mom. I have always been an animal person and pride myself on working hard, being timely and treating all creatures with the love they deserve. I am a medical student with a flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate to your pet's needs! I can often do classes from home which allows me to set my own daily schedule most days of the week- perfect for taking a study break to walk your pup or check in on your furry friends at home! I live in apartment in Arlington but have access to safe, side-walked neighborhoods for walking your dog around! If staying in your home, I will care for your pets exactly as you would like, with genuine care, trust and a love for animals being at the core of who I am and what I do!

About: I started pet sitting a couple years ago to make money during school, and it's the best job I've ever had. I love all types of animals, though dogs are my specialty. People often say that they have never seen their shy pet warm up to anyone as quickly as they did with me. I am also trained in dog CPR and Heimlich and willing to learn how to care for any special needs your dog may have.

About: I have such a love for fur babies of all kinds! I did not grow up with pets of my own so my love is unconditional and growing everyday. I’m a very patient and genuine person who loves all people and would love to help you love on your babies! I may not be the most experienced dog sitter but I do have so much love to give. :) I’m currently working full time 8:30-5pm. I will be starting an internship soon so my hours will free up. My weekends are free for longer walks and play time! I live in a community with lots of room to walk, a pretty dog park and a roommate who loves animals as much as I do. I follow directions to a T and would follow any of your home guidelines as needed.

“We are so glad to have found Marwa to help take care of our pup during the day. She is truly passionate, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is constantly going above and beyond to help Lolli become more comfortable and confident with her. Marwa is lovely, and we felt an immediate connection with her (maybe not Lolli quite yet!). I feel completely at ease having her enter our home and provide such extraordinary care for Lolli. Her patience, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pikesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pikesville is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 7,015 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pikesville. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pikesville. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.
