“Blair was excellent! She treated our two cats very well and provided detailed reports + many pictures with each visit. I’d definitely recommend Blair and will certainly be booking with her again in the future.”
“Michelle took great care of my kitties while I was gone! She communicated well and gave me updates and pictures! Thanks for taking such great care of my fur babies”
“Karenna did a great job at cat sitting while we were away, we couldn’t have left her in better hands. While our fluffball is very shy, she did her best to try and bond with her. Eventually got to pet her! Definitely would recommend.”
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
“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”
“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!”
About: There is nothing I love more than spending time with and taking care of animals. I have owned a plethora of pets in my lifetime. Over the years I have helped take care of 15 rabbits, three dogs, four cats, and a bearded dragon. For nearly all day every day of the past 14 months (and the majority of the past 3 years) I have watched and taken care of an elderly cat and two dogs, one of whom is hyperactive and very anxious. I have lots of experience building relationships of trust with fearful dogs. My childhood dog was deeply traumatized as a pup, but with effort and love she ended up living a full and wonderful life of joy for 15 years! My best friend's dog was aggressive, fearful, and deeply untrusting. It took years of patience and work to get to this point, but we ended up being extremely close and I was dubbed one of his favorite humans! My current dog has a lot of quirks and anxiety, and it has been truly incredible watching her grow and open up to love. I adore everything about caring for pets, even the messy and hard parts. It doesn't matter if they are misbehaving or causing mischief, I always find joy and fulfillment in meeting their needs and working with them. I have experience taking care of a dog with heartworms, keeping her heart rate slow, for 3-4 months. I have experience from when my cat was in recovery from surgery; I administered her medication, fed her by hand, and cleaned her stitches. My dogs love to roughhouse but can sometimes go too far, and I am good at keeping calm and leading the situation if injuries occur. The wellbeing of animals is everything to me, and I will always do my best to make sure pets are getting the love and care they deserve. Animals are just about my favorite part of life! From August 2024 to June 2025, I worked at Best Friends Furever as a dog handler. I spent most of my hours: -Watching, caring for, and playing with the dogs -Practicing their training skills -Handling crisis situations including preventing and breaking up fights -Bonding with fearful high-stress dogs and building trust with them -Assisting customers with pick-up and drop-off -Cleaning/sanitizing play areas and crates -Washing water and food bowls I have completed the PackPro Professional Animal Care Certification Council (PACCC) certified training course for dog daycare, covering topics such as: -Dog body language -Group management -Customer service basics -Fight prevention/protocol I volunteer as a dog walker for the Baltimore County Animal Shelter. I often cat-sit for my friend, and I make sure I am devoting all my time and attention to the cats. I make sure they have enrichment and affection, while also recognizing when they need alone time. Cats are finicky beasts, but every moment they are comfortable and happy is worth it! I have a chronic illness that has caused college to go on the back burner for now, so I have a lot of open time for pet sitting! Despite my health issues, I did well at and really enjoyed my previous job as a dog handler at a daycare for 9 months. Unfortunately, a few months after I left my job in 2025, I had a health incident that set me back a bit; now that I’m on the mend, I am looking for an opportunity to start living a more active and fulfilling life again. I have a lot of free time because of this disability, and now that I have strength back I want to utilize this to do something good. I will work hard and do my best! I will adopt whatever schedule and routine your dog requires; I have experience and training in all kinds of pet care, so there is no such thing as too high maintenance! I am prepared for all aspects of pet sitting.
“Katie was terrific with my two cats. She not only fed them and took care of their boxes, but she played with them every day and even brushed them! They seemed really happy when I got home. I'm not even sure they missed me, lol!”
“Christine was kind and personable, and took good care of my cat while I was on vacation. She also watered my flowers and brought in my mail for me. I’m so grateful for Christine’s services, and will definitely ask for her help again! Thanks so much, Christine!😊”
“Jenna is absolutely wonderful from the get-go - thoughtful, reliable, professional, and is excellent at communication. She took great care of my cat and sent me the cutest messages and photos while I was away. We are excited and thankful to have her back for the next trip. Can’t recommend enough!”
About: Hi! I’m Nikki, and I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of their different personalities, routines, and the love and attention they need to feel comfortable and happy. I’ve also cared dogs and cats while people are away, making sure they stayed on their normal schedule, got plenty of playtime, and received lots of love and attention. In addition to dogs and cats, I currently care for two pet ferrets, so I’m comfortable with small animals and understand that every pet has unique needs. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or someone patient and dependable to keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I’d love the opportunity to earn that trust and care for your pets. My schedule allows me to provide care during early mornings before 7:30 AM and evenings after 4:00–5:30 PM, depending on the day. I also have every other Friday off, which gives me full-day availability on those Fridays for walks, drop-in visits, or extended pet care. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. Whether your pet needs a morning potty break, a walk before work, dinner, playtime, or an evening check-in, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care and treating every pet like they’re my own. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I know every pet is different, so I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care that makes them feel comfortable and secure. I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping things clean, locking doors, and making sure your pet’s space stays safe and tidy. I’ll provide updates and photos during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Maria was a warm, confident, strong and kind caretaker for our old man pup, Flounder. She was on top of everything, very communicative and flexible. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“We are so glad to have found Marwa to help take care of our pup during the day. She is truly passionate, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is constantly going above and beyond to help Lolli become more comfortable and confident with her. Marwa is lovely, and we felt an immediate connection with her (maybe not Lolli quite yet!). I feel completely at ease having her enter our home and provide such extraordinary care for Lolli. Her patience, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
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.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own varying in breeds, ages and sizes and I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends, and families dogs of every kind since i was 10! I’m currently enrolled in classes at a University so I have a lot of free time around my classes to take care of your dogs part-time! My schedule can be flexible! I have 3 dogs which I care for, so I’m ready to play with your pups and give them the attention they need, and care for older dogs who need more calm attentive care!
“Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Timonium
Once again, a wonderful experience with Blair. She (almost literally) went the extra mile on her dog walks, letting Angel take her a bit off the beaten path so Angel could join her play group each morning. Not every Rover.com pet sitter is so thorough in her services and communicative with the owner. I feel very fortunate to have found her.
Laura came over to do a meet and greet and I knew that while I was out of town our dogs would be 100% good to go! She was very kind and gave great updates/photos of Gunnar and Juno while I was away. Also brought in our packages too. I will not hesitate rebooking with Laura in the future! Thank you so much for everything!
I had never left my dog overnight and was somewhat nervous. Shelby came in the evening and the morning and played w her, took a walk, fed her and thoroughly documented it all for me.. such a blessing! she also came over to meet Holly and me before my trip. Shelby put me at ease - which was priceless and Holly loved her. I will definitely re-book with her!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
