“Milena was attentive and communicative in taking care of our two cats! She is an animal lover and our boys were happy and healthy due to her home visits. We got lots of pictures and peace of mind knowing they were well looked after.”
About: Hi there. I'm Dorian. I'm a huge animal lover. I have 3 cats and 2 dogs. I've cared for animals my whole life. I’ve fostered animals in my home, and I’ve watched pets for family, customers, and friends. Dogs are my passion. They are a huge part of my life. I will treat your pet like family. I am a vigilant sitter. I am experienced with dogs, both young and old. I’ve taken care of puppies and have trained some myself. My husband and son also love animals. We are an animal loving family. I hope you will choose me to take care of your pet(s). I am dedicated, and I will make your animal feel very loved. Thank you for your consideration. Bye bye I have a flexible job and am able to schedule my hours around visits. I am also up early, so I can make early visits. I have a fenced in yard. My dog loves romping and playing outside. In your home, I will make sure your dog is able to go outside-whether in your backyard or on a walk.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a passion for dogs, cats, and horses. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and kindness I give my own, making sure they feel safe and happy. My work schedule gives me the flexibility to care for pets Monday through Friday throughout the day and evening. I’m available for single or multiple drop-in visits along with walks to exercise your dog! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets and keeping up with their daily routines and exercise needs. I will give your pets the same care, attention, and consistency as my own. I’m responsible, reliable, and will always treat your home with care and respect.
“I was so happy to have Meghan (and her girls) take care of our cat while we were on vacation. They are fantastic. I highly recommend Meghan for your pet sitting needs!”
“I booked Leilani and Jessie for the first time over thanksgiving. They came over a few days before to meet Layla and get familiar with the house. Layla is shy and they were so sweet and calm with her. I felt at ease knowing they would be checking in on her. I could tell they really know animals. By the end of the trip Layla was warming up to them nicely. I’ll definitely rebook the next time we go out of town!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs ever since I was 7 years old and have been in love with animals ever since. I have taken care of all sorts of animals from hamsters to horses. I am currently looking to have pet care be a daily thing in my life and would like it to take up a lot of my free time. I make a routine schedule for my animas so they know when they get fed, when they go to bed and when they get exercised or let outside
“Poncho kitty and I are very grateful to have found Linda through Rover! She is kind, dependable, and trustworthy. I can tell my (often sensitive) boy was very comfortable when she visited with him while we were away. Linda sent pictures and was easy to communicate with during the whole process. Thank you, Linda!”
About: I have had experience with all types of animals my entire life i grew up taking care of my dog widget since i was 7 me and my dog would go to pet training class as well. As my dog had gotten older me and my family had changed our routine and home life to accommodate to my best buds last days so he would be comfortable. I also grew up pet sitting for my aunt and still do.I have owned cats and dogs as well as some smaller rodents. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly schedule because i currently don’t have work and i am studying to become a tattoo artist my day consists of drawing and studying tattooing. i love to drive around so far drives to pet sit will not bother me what so ever!! I make sure to give your pets a stress free environment and give them cuddles depending on your animals personality!! I always make sure your friends are fed on time and taken on adventures with me on a walk and take them out to potty.
“Max was great! We felt at ease knowing our fur babies were in good hands while we were away. He exceeded our expectations and his love for animals is palpable 🥰 we will definitely rebook!”
“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”
“100% recommend Dollie. She took great care of our two cats. I had never left the cats alone for a week so I was appreciative of the time she spent with them and the daily photos which were very reassuring. One cat hid during the meet and greet but he made an appearance during the first visit. Both cats warmed up to Dollie quickly.”
“Abby was absolutely wonderful! I needed someone on very short notice, and she was quick to respond and able to help without hesitation. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire visit, sending updates and giving me peace of mind that my dogs were well cared for. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. I would highly recommend Abby to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and caring Rover dog walker. I will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. From the littlest of fish, to the largest of cows and other farm animals! I have 3 dogs of my own, two Colorado mountain dogs and a medium pittie mix. I also have 4 geckoes (2 leopards, a giant Madagascar day gecko, and my newest boy, a harlequin crested gecko!). I've dog-sat little dogs, big dogs, disabled and elderly dogs, as well as young pups and households with multiple animals! I will give you the best care, whether it be for your pets, home, or more! Right now I work part-time at a bakery on Sundays, and I am also a full-time college student! Thankfully, my schedule is very flexible and my attention will solely be on your furry friends. I always make sure to keep my client's homes clean and organized, and pay special attention to any extra tasks I'm giving, such as watering plants (I have dozens of plant babies!), changing the temperature, emptying dehumidifiers, and retrieving packages. Anything you need, I will do to the best of my abilities! I like to update my clients daily on their pets to ease their mind.
“Jessica was fantastic. It was nice to know that our kitties were well taken care of. She sent us pictures every day. We got to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our kitties. I highly recommend using her.”
About: Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Commitment to Care I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its safety, comfort, and happiness. Every animal entrusted to me is treated as an extended and respected member of my household. I am a retired Army veteran and parent of a Chihuahua and 2 cats. I am available around the clock to take care of your fur baby as a respected member of my household. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Chihuahua to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. My cats ignore dogs that don't want to play. If your dog dislikes cats, I am able to separate their living areas while your dog is on-site.
“Jenna did an excellent job caring for our 3 fur babies while we were on an extended vacation! She was punctual, provided them so much love and play, and followed feeding and cleaning directions to a T! We were so comfortable having her in our home and entrusting the care of our babies to her. She even was kind enough to bring in our mail and to clean up an unexpected accident so well that we couldn't see any sign of it. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Taneytown on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 .
As of September 2026, there are 2,649 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Taneytown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Taneytown 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 Taneytown. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
