I’m consistently available on evenings and weekends to give your pets loving, reliable care. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away!

About: I have a 7 year old dog myself. I have always taken care of her, played with her, and even trained her as a puppy. She is puppy pad trained and knows basic commands such as sit, lay down, come, and drop it. I have also helped close friends take care of their dogs, walking and feeding, countless times. I work part-time so there are always a few days out of the week where I am available. I am usually always available at least 3 times a week. I have one pup who is loved immensely. I care for all animals as if they are my children. I love animals and caring for them so they will always be loved and cared for while in my care.

Mornings, evenings, and weekends are best, but with enough notice I can cater to your pet’s needs throughout the day.

I’m intimately familiar with all collar and leash types, crates and play pens, “puppy pads,” medications, bathing, and more. With the right tools and proper communication, rest assured that I will meet every expectation as your pet sitter!

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.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them! For the past 3 years, I’ve been fostering dogs through BARCS and have helped 5+ pups find their forever homes. Through fostering, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs, and I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and lots of love are. I’ve also been a reliable dog walker and pet sitter for friends and family over the years. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable while they’re in my care! I’m currently a full-time graduate student, so my schedule is a little busier during the day. Most days, I’m available after 4:30 PM and would love to spend my evenings giving your pups some extra love, attention, and exercise! My schedule can vary depending on classes and school commitments, but I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and do my best to work with your schedule. I’m also happy to discuss specific days or times in advance! I always want pets to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. I like to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. Since I’ve been fostering for the past 3 years, I understand that every dog is different and may have their own personality, energy level, and needs. I take the time to get to know each pet and make sure they’re getting the care and attention that’s right for them. When caring for pets in their home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is left clean and just the way I found it. My goal is for your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Timonium
This was my very first time using rover and I’m very happy that I found Blaire! I can tell by the drop-in photos that she posts, my cat baby is very comfortable with her visiting and taking care of his needs. Blaire is very detailed with her visits as well as with her interactions with my cat. I will definitely be calling on Blaire again in the near future to look after my cat baby!!♥️
I was very nervous about leaving Newman. He usually travels with me but I was unable to bring him this week or next. With a heavy heart I booked Rover and Josh accepted my request. Newman was a year old when placed in the shelter and only 3 months with me. He is adapting quickly to indoor life but still needs some social upgrading. I was worried how he would accept a stranger but Jish is like the kitty whisperer! Newman allowed Josh to pet him after only a short time. This decreased my worry very quickly. The structured and documented check ins were wonderful. I have already booked Josh for next week and will use him again in the future.
Shelby is a great pet sitter and dog walker! She is very responsive and came over before her first visit to learn about the pets. She’s very reliable and has been a huge help to us! She takes great care of our pets and leaves us great pictures and reports of how their time was together. Highly recommend!
Christine has been an absolute blessing in my life! I have never had a regular dog walker/sitter because my dog is a bit difficult. Josie took to Christine immediately and it has been smooth sailing ever since. I love the photos I get during the day of my girl - such a serotonin boost! On top of that, Christine has been incredibly flexible and accommodating as I adjusted to using the Rover app. Thanks Christine!
Excellent communication all the time, on the button My dog loves her….matter fact I’m home now and normally my dog Lexy would not go out with anybody if I was here. However, with Susan might Lexy gives her the respect she’s due and follows her without hesitation

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Timonium is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. 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 5,273 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Timonium. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 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 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.
