“Maria was great with my kitties. She was able to give them their oral meds with no problem. Great communication and attentive to the cat needs. It was nice to come back to a clean house and calm cats. Highly recommend.”
“Everything was super smooth and easy. Wonderful communication, as we received updates and pics. Our two pups were so relaxed when we arrived home and it was good to know they were in good care. Will be booking more dates with Zana very soon!”
“Cassie was super great with our pup! She was flexible with timing and did a great job of updating us during her time with him. Left our house super clean too! Will use her again!”
About: Not only do I love animals but I do provide feeding, ensuring a safe environment, lots of cuddles and playtime :). I have about 2-3 years worth of pet experience from dog walking, dog/cat sitting at clients home and boarding inside my home. I currently work full time during the day but I still make time to tend to my furry friends. During the week I am available for any service like dog walking, drop ins ( for potty breaks, to be fed, go on walks etc ) On the weekends I’m available for any service including overnight. If overnight is needed during the week please communicate that with me so I can try to accommodate as much as possible. I care for each pet by understanding their schedule. Understanding their routine in terms to feeding, exercise, potty walks etc is very important. One thing I like to do is observe and learn the pet. Once you take the time to learn you’re able to learn preferred activities/items and their routine.
“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”
About: Ive spent most of my life caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, growing up with family pets, sitting for friends and family for years, and volunteering with BARCS. Today, I’m the proud parent of my two hound “dawghters,” Willeaux and Scarlett, so high-energy breeds, strong prey drives, and active routines are second nature to me. Because one of my girls is dog-reactive, I am highly experienced in reading canine body language, spotting potential triggers early, and calmly de-escalating high-stress situations during walks. I genuinely love working with dogs at every stage of life and of any size; whether providing high-energy exercise for active pups or offering the gentle, patient attention and mobility support that senior dogs need. Additionally, managing daily medication and food allergies for my own dogs has made me extremely diligent about administering medicine on time and strictly monitoring specialty diets. Whether your pet needs high-energy exercise, reactive dog handling, attentive senior care, or precise medical adherence, you can trust they will receive the exact same level of dedicated care I give my own! My schedule offers great flexibility for early morning and evening care! Monday through Friday, I’m available early in the morning before 7:00 AM and again in the afternoon and evening after 3:00 PM; making me a great fit for early morning walks, dinner feedings, or evening drop-in visits. On weekends (Saturday and Sunday), I have full, open availability all day for walks, drop-ins, and extended sitting. Safety, trust, and structured care are my top priorities for every pet I watch. As a hound parent, I am well-accustomed to boisterous personalities and dogs constantly inventing new, creative ways to test boundaries; so practically nothing surprises me, and I’m fully equipped to handle whatever energetic antics your pet brings! I maintain a secure, dog-proofed environment, double-check all gear before stepping outside, and stay fully attentive to our surroundings on walks. To ensure your pet receives the absolute best care possible, I always prefer written or texted instructions. Having everything in writing allows me to follow your exact home routine, dietary rules, and safety preferences down to the smallest detail while keeping you updated with frequent photos and check-ins throughout the stay.
“Melody was AMAZING! Omgggggg like does really it really get any better? Melody knows her stuff! Super sweet and super attentive and very trustworthy! I know Nas enjoyed her. I really look forward to booking melody again very soon. Thank you so much!”
“We left our year old dog in the capable hands of Dan for nine days. He stayed in our house and took such a good care of our dog and our home. We will definitely book Dan for any future trips!”
“Jessica once again did an amazing job watching our high energy pup!!! She took him for walks even in the middle of a blizzard. She’s our go-to sitter in Baltimore!”
About: A friendly, responsible couple who treats every pet like family. We have 6 years of experience with puppies and small dogs. Our family has three dogs and two cats, and we took care of all of them since they were born. We make sure our furry friends have all the care and affection they need. My husband and I have flexible jobs. We can accommodate our time with yours with no issues. We just need a few days in advance for the bookings. We take care of them, and we protect them as if they were our pets. We have a lot of patience and affection for those furry family members of yours.
“Jess and Janelle are amazing. My two cats and two dogs LOVE them and are excited when they are cared for by them. I love them as well … they are professional, caring, communicative and thoughtful. Jess and Janelle are my go-tos … always!!!”
“Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!”
“Nico was very communicative, responsible, and kind while taking care of our old dog who has some special care instructions. He sent many pictures of their walks and we knew that our dog was getting really great care. I highly recommend Nico and will be booking again in the future.”
“Jasmine did a great job watching Joey at our house for the weekend we were gone. She followed all instructions, was highly communicative, and we came home to a happy, healthy dog and a clean house. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have raised cats and dogs with disability and I also have some experience with service animals as well. I’m here to offer the extra paws 🐾 you may need I currently have open availability just welcomed a baby into the family. Caring for your babies keep me active and energized during the week. I genuinely enjoy playing with them and even cuddles!💜 I have what my family calls “Animal Kingdom” in my house we have 3 cats (2 boys 1 girl), 1 dog (Female Pit), and a gecko I like to keep a routine with feeding and cleaning with my animals at home and I will be sure to follow ALL instructions when it comes to your fur babies as well ☺️
About: I’ve recently started pet sitting for friends and family and found it very rewarding. At home I am use to looking after my dog Remy who is an 90 pound poodle mix along with my cat Mia. They both are a handful but they are members of the family that have prepared me for looking after others. I am currently attending graduate school and am looking to start work near my home. I am always looking for opportunities to pay my way while helping others. I will work to make time in my schedule to accommodate yours! I always try and be friendly and patient. At home my dog Remy takes medication nightly while also having quiet the personality. His boisterous nature can be hard to rein in but when he is given his time he settles.
“Elisa kept Big Daddy (and our house) well cared for during our week long trip. Big D was super chill upon our return, always a sign that he got plenty of attention and walks while we were away. We look forward to booking with her again soon!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rosedale
Kathleen is so lovely! We are new to the area and had to find a dog sitter very quickly, and Kathleen was super responsive and understanding. She and our dog Gingerbread had a great time, and she made sure to pay attention to our directions and Gingerbread's preferences. 10/10 experience and we will definitely be repeat customers!
I thought Jasmine was wonderful from start to finish. She made sure she was comfortable ahead of time, had all of her critical questions answered and a game plan heading into her stay, and once she was here sent frequent pics, videos and general updates - it made me feel very close to what was happening at home. This for an anxious puppy, so she had to work hard to gain his trust and attention, which she did quite well! I was very impressed and felt he was well tended to at all times. Secondary, but my home was also immaculate when I returned. Jasmine is my first message next time I need someone.
Elliott was wonderful with our somewhat anxious poodle mix, Knox! He is incredibly responsive, open to input and feedback on our dog's needs and communicative throughout his stay at our home. Thank you so much, Elliott, and we know Knox is excited to see you again soon!
Alyssa was amazing! Throughout their stay with our dog and cat, they provided updates and photos which we really appreciated. We could tell that our pets were well taken care of and very happy when we got back from our trip. Thanks again! Would recommend and book again in the future.

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 Rosedale 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 Rosedale 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 Rosedale 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!

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 .

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.
