“We had no worries with Cheryl, who was staying with our senior dog. It's hard to leave an older dog who requires extra time, care, and attention, including medications and exercise. Cheryl handled everything with love and kept us informed with photos and messages. We were so thankful we found her. Plus we were able to enjoy our vacation. We've already booked her for two more trips. We heartily recommend her!”
“Antoinette was AMAZING with my dog Rocky while I was on vacation and I highly recommend her. I found her thru Rover. She came to my house before I left to meet Rocky and to go over everything. My dog has skin allergies which he takes medication for so she gave him meds overnight. Rocky was a little upset the first day she watched him and didn’t want to eat. I had never left him before. She contacted me immediately and we came up with a plan and it worked. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day of Rocky which I appreciated. I will use her again in the future.”
“Haile did an excellent job taking care of my dogs when we went out of town for a few days. She sent pics and kept us up to date on how they were doing. My home was clean and dogs were happy.”
“Ember was absolutely fantastic with our Husky. She played with him, went out of her way to make him frozen Kings, and even BRUSHED him which is a whole chore for husky owners? She made us feel at ease while we were away and helped around the house while we were gone - took out the trash on trash day, gathered/sorted our mail, and went above and beyond washing towels and sheets. We were very appreciative of Ember and will book again!”
About: I have had pets since I was young, and until I had to move away for college I was the primary care giver for both a cat and a dog. I loved ensuring that my pets were happy and healthy. As a waitress I work mostly at night, so I will be mostly available in the mornings and afternoons. However, on my days off I will be available at all times if the day. My top priority will always be the comfort of you and your pets, no matter the service. I will always put your pets needs first.
“Lindsay was great - kept the house tidy, kept the pets company, and communicated just the right amount. She even administered our cat his insulin shots, which is the real gem. We are a little pet picky, like no dogs on the furniture, and everything indicates that our wishes were followed. Would 100% book with Lindsay again!”
“My gang always loves having Evan because he spoils them, LOL! We get great photos and video throughout the stays. The house looks great when we return. I'll definitely book again!”
“I came to Rover to book, after our regular dog/house sitter canceled on us for a trip we'd had planned for many months. I was a little nervous to try someone new because the person would be staying in our home, overnight with our dog. From the first meeting, Jenn was great! She showed up promptly, asked questions and allowed me to ask lots of questions. Throughout my trip, Jenn sent me pictures of my Maleficent and kept me updated on her walks and playtime with other dogs and neighbors in our neighborhood. I often feel super nervous when we leave her; but this time, I didn't have any reason to. Jennifer is AMAZING, and she's definitely going to be seeing more of our fur baby, because we will be regular clients! Thanks a bunch to Jenn and Rover!”
About: I’m an experienced animal caretaker comfortable with pets of all species, ages, temperaments, and care needs. My background includes training challenging dogs, caring for neonatal kittens, mucking stalls, administering IV fluids, raising poultry and small animals, and over 20 years of experience with dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles. I’m confident with special-needs pets, unusual animals, and complicated routines—and I’ll care for every animal with patience, attentiveness, and kindness. I work a standard 8 am - 4 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I am available to care for boarded animals in the morning before I leave and in the evenings when I return from work in those days, with the same diligence and love I give my own animals. For all other days, I am either off or working from home and I am generally available to provide care. If I am visiting your home, I would like to have a meet and greet with you and your animals before you head out of town to establish their normal schedules and routines. During appointments, I will give your animals the same love and care that I give my own. If you are scheduling to have an animal boarded, your animal(s) will be given their own room separate from other animals in the house, with direct access to a large, fenced-in yard, their own beds and towels, and constant access to water. Walks, treats, meals, and medications will be given on an agreed upon schedule. Potty breaks will occur no less than once in the morning, once before and after dinner, and once before bedtime. I do not accept outside bedding and all guests must be up to date on vaccines and treated for fleas and ticks prior to boarding.
About: I’ve always had a special bond with animals, and my family often trusts me to care for their dogs. I look forward to making you and your pets happy too. I have a wonderful Standard Poodle named Stormi Bless. Caring for pets is my part-time job while I’m also pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice. I’m confident I can build a strong connection with your dog and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. When I look after my family’s dogs, I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I’m always mindful of their needs, whether it’s time for a walk, a meal, or just some extra care. This is currently my part time job as I am in college as well. I currently take up criminal justice, but I am sure to connect with your dog and show them support. When taking care of my family pets I am sure to make sure their dogs get attention, love, and the play time they need. When a pet shows signs of needing a walk or it’s time for food I pay attention to it all.
“Tracie is fantastic! She took great care of our dogs. She provided detailed updates and lots of photos and videos. One of our dogs is wary of new people and took to Tracie very quickly. She is a dog whisperer! We highly recommend Tracie.”
“Brent takes amazing care of our pups. I know I can leave the house and know they are in good hands. He has watched our pups several times and we have already arranged the next time. We are so appreciative for the great care!!”
“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! 😊”
“Jaiden was an outstanding sitter for our dog in our home. From the start, she was incredibly detail‑oriented during the interview and asked thoughtful questions that showed how seriously she takes her work. Our dog loved her right away, which gave us instant peace of mind. While we were away, she communicated every day and sent multiple photos, which was so comforting. She was respectful of our home and left everything exactly as we’d hoped. We were so impressed that we’ve already scheduled her for our next trip. She's truly a fantastic sitter. Highly recommend.”
About: *My service radius is very large since I am able to accommodate the entire state of Maryland- don’t hesitate to ask! I am relocating to Rockville from Ellicott City. Animal lover, experienced dog trainer, and local real estate agent. Whether your pup needs a walk or you’re looking for your next home, I’m passionate about helping people—and their pets—feel comfortable and cared for. I have over 8 years of professional experience in pet care and puppy training. It’s awesome that I get to meet all the wonderful pets that have blessed your homes! I have two Savannah cats, who act like dogs, and two fluffy white Birmans. I am free for most days of the week! I have plenty of wiggle room to accommodate most requests or desires. Calendar will reflect any changes. I give everyone space until they’re ready to meet me! Thankfully I took some time to read cues from many different animals to avoid danger, and also make everyone feel safe. Only generous with treats with permission!

We have used Ryan as our dog sitter several times. This time he stayed with our dogs for the past 10 days. He sends us photos every day and we look forward to seeing them. We trust him to take care of our dogs and our house while we are traveling. Highly recommend him!!
Bronte is so personable, kind, observant, and communicative! She even washed and dried the sheets she left for a one night stay. My baby is really happy today and I loved getting videos and pictures the whole time. You can tell when you meet her she has such a sweet heart and a good soul and it feels good to know my kitty cat who is my baby is in good hands. She even drove out for a meet and greet which means so much to me because I’m a little crazy as a pet parent. My house looks great and my baby taken care of and I would absolutely hire Bronte again, no questions asked!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Randallstown is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $44 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.

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 Randallstown 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 Randallstown 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Randallstown 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
