“Joshua was wonderful, he was timely, communicative, and our shy kitty absolutely loved him. If you are looking for someone dependable who loves your pet he is the one!”

“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!”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy helping them feel safe, cared for, and loved while their people are away. I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, from family pets growing up to paid pet and house sitting for friends and private clients. I’m a longtime yoga teacher, so creating a calm, grounded environment comes naturally to me. Friends, clients, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs, cats, and homes, and I understand how important consistency, communication, and reliability are. Whether your pet loves long walks, quiet companionship, or playful interaction, I’ll care for them with the same attention and respect I’d want for my own family. I’m a part-time yoga teacher with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care for your pets. I carefully plan my schedule around the animals in my care and will always discuss my teaching times with you in advance. My priority is making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand that inviting someone into your home or entrusting them with your beloved pet requires a great deal of trust. I treat every home with respect and every animal with patience, kindness, and attentive care. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, communicate regularly with updates and photos, and will always reach out if I have any questions or concerns. My goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home. If boarding is needed, I provide a quiet, calm, smoke free home and accept only one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I carefully follow each pet’s established routine and will communicate regularly with updates and photos. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Tara did a great job taking care of our cats, chickens, and home! Her communication was prompt and always very friendly. She included sweet photos every day and I felt confident that my pets were well taken care of. Thank you, Tara!”
“Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I started dog walking and pet sitting in middle school and have continued ever since. In high school, I interned at a veterinary office, where I gained experience working with animals in a medical setting, and during college I worked at a dog daycare caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with pets that have different routines, energy levels, and care requirements, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently in graduate school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my days around walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and overnight care to make sure pets get plenty of attention and consistency. I have availability during weekdays, evenings, and many weekends, and I split my time between the Baltimore County/Hunt Valley area and Ocean City, which gives me flexibility to accommodate a variety of clients and schedules. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and is a great balance alongside school. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, so I always follow routines closely, pay attention to their needs, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also love sending updates and photos so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away.
About: While I may not have much professional experience I have owned a variety of pets my entire life from dogs and cats to bunnies and squirrels! I even interned at a veterinary office. I currently work a full-time job but I am looking to fill my time with pet care during the evenings after 4 and all day during the weekends. I am aware of dogs and cats body language and by understand them, I can better help support their needs. I can redirect when necessary and calm energetic behavior.
“Christine was great!! She took care of Riley for us, walking her, feeding her and spend time with her while we were away for a long day trip. We will definitely rebook her in the future.”
“Ashley took wonderful care of my two cats, one of whom is diabetic and requires insulin injections every 12 hours. Ashley was very reliable and always on time. She gave detailed updates and took cute pictures of my babies. She also was willing to water my newly planted trees. We are so glad to have found such an excellent sitter!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and reliability I bring to every pet and home I care for. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including having two dogs of my own in my family's home and caring for cats throughout the years, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I also have experience pet and house sitting for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs, cats, and small mammals with different personalities, routines, and needs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, playtime routines, medications, and providing extra patience for shy, anxious, or senior pets. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so I always try to make both the pets and their owners feel comfortable and reassured. I make it a priority to send updates and photos and to treat every pet with the same love, attention, and care I would want for my own pets. In addition to caring for pets, I’m very responsible when it comes to house-sitting and keeping homes clean, secure, and well cared for while owners are away. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I know pets are most comfortable in familiar environments, so I make sure they receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and affection while their owners are away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific routines or preferences each pet may have. I also pay close attention to pets’ behavior and comfort levels to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I always keep homes clean, secure, and respected while providing care. I’m also very communicative and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy and in good hands. Since I’m currently a college student home for the summer, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day.
About: Hello, I’m Sabrina! I have always been involved in animal care spaces. I volunteered as a behavior volunteer for several years at Friends For Life Animal Shelter, where I learned about canine and feline behavior. I am certified in canine and feline CPR and first aid through PetTech! Your furry friend is always safe with me! Last summer, I worked as a canine care attendant at The Barking Muse where I walked dogs, monitored day care, facilitated activities and basic training, and cared for our boarders! I’d love to continue my pet care journey with you! Currently, I’m a college student home for the summer, so my schedule is wide open! I’d love to fill my time by providing quality pet care! I always meet the pet where they’re are at. I will never force a pet to anything it doesn’t want to and believe in understanding their behavior and boundaries. Through this method I’ve successfully addressed anxiety in both cats and dogs and formed meaningful connections!
About: I am very attentive to my fur babies I have a 11 year old and a 1 year old their names are Milo and King. King needs a little more TLC he has congestive heart failure and has to take heart meds for the rest of his life. Milo is a ball of energy he keeps me on my feet he love to play run and belly rubs. Dog grooming is also available if needed for your furry fur baby. Pet care is very important to me. Proper pet care is the basis of responsible pet ownership. Caring for an animal can help make you feel needed and wanted, and take the focus away from your problems. I have 2 small dogs who loves company King is old and set in his ways so he doesn’t play much just bark and Milo is the social one he gets along with all dogs. There is a dog bark near by that I take him to so he can run jump and play with other fur babies
“Trevor was absolutely wonderful! He put so much care into updating us and sending us photos! He made our cat very comfortable and was sure to play with her lots. He allowed us to enjoy our vacation without being anxious about her. Would absolutely have Trevor do drop in visit again!”
“Emily was very reliable and responsive, and great with my cats. She went out of her way to spend time getting to know them and making sure they were happy. I really enjoyed the updates and photos every day.”
About: I have a family dog, who I love! And also I have my own furry Labradoodle! I can walk your dog, feed them, and spend time playing with them and give them all the attention they deserve!! I am responsible and caring. I will care for your dog as if it is my own! I am currently home during the week and available. I am able to provide any needs that your dog may need. We are able to spend time outside playing and go on walks. I always make sure the dogs are always safe in my home. Any dangerous items are properly stored and secured away from the animals. When it’s time to play out side or go on a walk, I always make sure their leases are secured.

Ashleigh is an amazing pet sitter! We have used her many times and each time we do, we have peace of mind knowing Ashleigh is taking care of our fur babies when we are away. I cannot recommend her enough! She is excellent with communication and leaves us great notes with details about their food and care. Thank you for everything Ashleigh. 😊

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!
Josh is the best! He agreed to meet and get to know our pets first which took the worry away knowing he was kind thoughtful and responsible. He was flexible with the schedule and so good with our rather anxious dog. Our dog actually seems calmer was brushed and well cared for while we were away! and he is even leaving food in his bowl after Josh suggested he may need more food cause he seemed hungry and so we said ok and learned Josh was right maybe that was all it was cause now he doesn’t inhale it in 5 minutes! He also was flexible when I had a last minute thing to do and needed his services for the weekend. Can’t say enough great things really glad I tried this service and was lucky enough to get Josh!
From the first message to our scheduled meet and greet, Mina impressed me with her friendliness, flexibility, and genuine love for cats. She arrived on time, asked great questions, and let my cats dictate the pace of their meeting - no rushing or forced interactions. By the end of just one meeting, my shy and anxious cats allowed her to come close and engage with them. I feel fully reassured and confident that Mina will take great care of them while I am traveling. Highly recommend!
Jessie was very communicative and easy to coordinate with. I received updates throughout the visit that were very appreciated as well, and most importantly, the cats were in good spirits. I will certainly reaching out to Jessie again if I find myself in need of a pet sitter.
Rini is fabulous! She looked in on our cat while we were away for most of a week. We received updates at every visit that included a short video and photos. Delilah can be reached at ”spicy” at times and Rini was patient with her, eventually winning her over. She also brought in our mail and packages. Will definitely use her again!
Maya was great with our dogs! She was prompt, reliable, and always showed up right when she was supposed to. She took the time to sit with them, comfort them, and made sure they felt safe and loved while we were away. They loved her. We’ll definitely use her again!
It seems that Karenna did a good job feeding my cat. He gets nervous and hides under the sofa and table while I am away as pictures from Karenna showed. He did like Karenna when she came for a Meet and Greet. He came out from under the table and let her pet him a little bit. I would definitely use Karenna again, if she was available.

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 Sherwood 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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.
