“Cheryl was fantastic. She made me feel at ease while I was away. She sent me photos of my dog and answered all my annoying questions. I will 100% book with her again. She even agreed to watch my crazy dog again!”
“Alexander took great care of our dog and home while we were away! We got plenty of updates and came home to a clean house which was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend him and will definitely be booking again in the future.”
“Melissa was easy to communicate with, both for scheduling a meet and greet and then also booking for the rare trip that we couldn't take the pups along on! We appreciate how well cared for the dogs were, that she took time to walk both of them and send updates and just generally spend time with them ☺️ thousand percent recommend Melissa as a sitter and hope to be able to book her again in the future!”
“Shelby did a great job with our baby! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our girl was being well taken care of. She sent lots of updates to us showing all of the fun things they were doing. We could see that our pup was enjoying her time with Shelby. She left our house even cleaner than when we left- a nice surprise after a long day of traveling! She also brought in our mail and took out the trash. Just an overall great job!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and fostering many dogs for local rescues, learning to manage everything from picky eaters to senior pets with mobility issues and other various medical needs. I also have experience caring for cats, parakeets, chickens, guinea pigs , anoles and fish I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I will do my best to match the routine you have with them to keep them on schedule and make sure they have fun and are comfortable while you are away. I can play, crate, feed, or give medications in the home. I want to match your routine with your pets as best as possible so they can feel comfortable while you are away.
“My dog is very excitable and can be difficult to handle but Yeji was very understanding and helped to calm him. I think he has a new human friend and now I will feel better leaving him.”
“Evan did a great job watching our high energy dog—in 97 degree weather no less! We never had a doubt that our dog was having fun and being shown affection. We’ll definitely be using Evan again in the future!”
“I was very pleased with Ana’s care for Roxy and would definitely hire her again. Ana received a handoff from our other sitter who was only available for the first half of our trip. The handoff was smooth (Ana and Amy coordinated directly). Ana provided regular updates and photos to let us know Roxy was doing well. She was flexible with her departure time on the last day while we made sure there would be no issue with our flights. Our house was left in the same condition as the day we left. All good.”
About: Hi! I'm a dependable and caring pet sitter with 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs for friends and family. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and giving pets lots of attention while you're away. I also have a 2-year-old Labradoodle, so I understand the daily care, exercise, and love dogs need. I'd love to help care for your pet! I’m currently working part time in the mornings, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur baby! I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm I live in a nice neighborhood with a big yard, good for walks and play time. Although it is not fenced in, they are always closely watched. Of course, will use a leash when necessary or if you’re more comfortable with that. I also have a sweet 2 year old labradoodle and she loves to play with friends!
“Robyn was fantastic with our kitty! She sent lots of pictures and was always very responsive. When we came home, our house was clean and well taken care of. She gave me so much peace of mind while we were away!”
About: With 6 years of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, I understand that every pet has unique needs. I've worked with my own rescue dog to improve her socialization and behavior through patience and consistent training. I'm comfortable with both large and small breeds, as well as reptiles, fish, and other companions. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping your pets happy, safe, and comfortable! Currently going to school full time so my entire day is free and scheduled around my classes. I like to spend a lot of my free time with the companions. It is the daily routine and necessary as a caretaker. I wake up and feed and potty breaks. Mid day before I go to the gym, go for a walk and playtime. Repeat when I return from the gym. And then at night time feed again and last bathroom break. Make sure they are always fed, watered, and have been exercised so that they are occupied and able to relax in comfort, peace, and security

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Reisterstown
We could not be more pleased with Alex’s care for our two high energy Labradors. He followed all of our instructions while staying in our home. He was engaged and proactive with questions and follow up on the specific needs of our dogs. He took them for walks, played fetch and just spent time with them relaxing. His consideration of our older pups anxiety and our younger pups energy was awesome. We came home to happy boys who had clearly remained in their routine. In addition the house was clean and orderly as we left it. Great peace of mind while we were traveling!
Tracie is fabulous and if there was a ten star review- I’d leave that! She took care of our two small rescue dogs who needed attention and Tracie gave them that. You could tell how happy they were with her and my one who never gives kisses- did for Tracie(I’m a bit jealous) I highly recommend her.
Cheryl, again, gave us the gift of a worry-free vacation away from Gracie. This was a week-long trip out of the country. Cheryl kept us updated everyday, managed all medications, did Gracie's PT, and left the house spotless. Best of all, we knew Gracie was getting so much attention and love. It's hard to leave a senior dog--unless you're leaving her with Cheryl.
Areli was an amazing house and pet sitter! We got plenty of updates and photos and felt extremely at ease with her in charge. House and pets were in great shape and she followed all instructions perfectly. We are looking forward to working with her again as a dog walker and future sits!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Reisterstown is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $55 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 4,076 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Reisterstown. 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 Reisterstown 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 Reisterstown 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 Reisterstown 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.

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.
