“Bronte is amazing. Had a last minute need to watch our 2 labs and new puppy. She was so responsive, punctual, and most importantly caring! She loved on our puppers, gave them lots of treats and exercise, and everyone was sad she had to leave! Highly recommend for professionalism and care!”
“Thank you so much, Sophie! Luna was so well taken care of and loved. Sophie was so communicative, helpful, and flexible with our crazy schedule chaos. Thank you!!”
About: I’m an experienced and reliable dog caregiver with a background caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, and more challenging breeds. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and overnight boarding, always focusing on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work full-time with a rotating schedule, but I’m available all day on my days off and in the mornings on workdays for visits, walks, and feedings. I live in a quiet condo with open space nearby. I have a friendly dog for companionship or can keep pets separated if needed, with extra rooms and a crate available for safety.
“Chelsea is amazing! She took care of my kitty Gigi over the holidays and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She even went above & beyond by caring for a betta fish as well! Both were happy and doing so great when I came home. Thank you so much, Chelsea! ?”
About: I have always been great with animals, I was raised on a Farm and I would enjoy working with animals on a daily basis ! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved. Whether it's going for walks, providing companionship, or paying attention to their needs, caring for pets brings me joy and fits perfectly with my active and compassionate lifestyle. I care for pets by following their regular routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In both my home and a client's home, I provide fresh water, meals as directed, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, ensuring they receive the care and companionship they need while their owners are away.
“Just got back from our vacation, and Schwartz was happy and seemed like she had a great time with her new friend Aye. The pictures and updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was out of town, and I’ve never seen Schwartz so relaxed with a new person. We will definitely be booking with Aye again, if she’ll have us!”
“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!”
“As a first time puppy owner, finding the right person to watch your fur baby is nerve wrecking. Riley was amazing!! She provided in-home daycare for our pup and kept up with his routine. She sent pics and videos of him and he seemed so happy. I’ll definitely be booking her again to watch or furry friend.”
“I can always rely on Danielle to respond quickly. She’s reliable and is a HUGE stress reliever knowing that my pup is being well taken care of. I’ve rebooked her numerous times now, and she has never disappointed”
“Christine was so kind and generous with our three dogs! She was always on time and went the extra mile to help clean up a pillow catastrophe from our very anxious lab! We will definitely be asking her to watch our babies again!”
“Brian was absolutely wonderful with our Bernedoodle puppy Oreo! Despite Oreo being a 60+ pound bundle of adolescent energy, Brian handled him with patience, confidence, and ease. He was always on time, professional, and genuinely caring. Oreo absolutely loved his visits and that says everything. Highly recommend Brian without hesitation. Will definitely book again!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Casie exceeded our expectations and followed every instruction perfectly. Our cats, Kiara and Saul, were in such good hands the entire time! We could tell they were well cared for and comfortable. We highly recommend Casie and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Haile! I’ve taken care of pets ranging from cats and dogs, to other animals. I love any and all animals and will provide attentive and gentle care to all pets that are in my care :) I’m currently going to school full time! I have classes Monday-Thursday, with enough notice (24hrs) I can plan my days around pet care! Fri-Sun I have full availability, and on school breaks. I am reliable with bookings and always will make sure your pets get the time, care, and attention they need! I have hands-on experience caring for cats, dogs, and other animals, so I’m comfortable working with animals of many different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve cared for playful pets, shy and anxious ones, and those who simply prefer a calm, predictable routine. For cats, I provide patient, low-stress care with attention to feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and giving them the space when needed. For dogs, I’m experienced with walking, feeding schedules, play, and handling. I always focus on making pets feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their humans are away! I also have experience handling hedgehogs, including feeding, cleaning cages, and handling them gently and correctly. Because hedgies are sensitive and easily stressed, I’m especially careful about temperature, routine, and quite surroundings. I treat every pet like their my own and always pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and wellbeing so you can feel confident your pets are in good and loving hands!
“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
About: I've taken care of pets all my life, with always having at least one dog and one cat at a time, but also having up to three dogs, one cat, and several fish as well. I love any type of animal, and spending time with them is very special to me. I am a very active person so walking your floofer is not a problem! I've also cared for senior dogs as well, as well as taking care of family's and friend's pets over the years. I am currently unemployed as I am a student in college, but when I come home from breaks I am very eager to make your lives easier and watch your pets for you. Since I'll be available mostly over the holiday season as well as summer, it's perfect timing for when you travel to see your family or go on vacations! I will follow any instructions given as to the best way to care for your pet, and I will make sure they're as comfortable and happy as possible!
About: I have over 15 years of experience in pet care, starting from dog walking in my neighborhood as a kid to continuing petsitting and volunteering at the Humane Society. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable with both energetic pups and older dogs needing special care. I tailor my approach to each dog’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. I work from 3:00–10:00 PM, which gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. I’m available before work, throughout the day, and after my shift, and I’m off every Tuesday through Thursday, giving me even more flexibility for walks, daycare, overnight stays, or extended visits. I also offer cat sitting and have experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful and social to shy or senior cats, and I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, and individual care needs. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I have an extremely dog friendly neighborhood. Although I live in an apartment I live right next to multiple parks! Making it easy to take dogs on long or short walks!

“We are repeat customers and would not hesitate to book again in the future. Stephanie was amazing with our sometimes skiddish and sometimes grumpy Chihuahua. He warmed up to her right away! She is also very flexible and looks for solutions to potential scheduling conflicts as opposed to declining the request as I've had happen with other sitters. 10/10 would recommend!”

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!
Bronte is great! She is reliable, responsive, and has always been willing to accommodate our bookings, which we really appreciate. She takes good care of our pets and follows all instructions we leave, giving us peace of mind while we’re away. She’s also very kind and easy to work with. We’re grateful to have found someone we can count on and would happily recommend her to others!
Erika was wonderful with my two kitties! They were going through a finicky stage so I had to transition them to a raw diet which was a bit detailed. Erika followed everything to the letter! I love that she sent me daily photos. It was very much appreciated! Thank you Erika for giving the love and care ❤️
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!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Pikesville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
