About: Hi, my name is Makhayla! I’m a caring and dependable cat and dog sitter with over 6 years of experience looking after pets of different personalities and needs. I recently moved to the area and am excited to help local pet owners with loving, reliable care. My 7-year-old daughter has grown up around animals with me, which has helped teach patience, gentleness, and responsibility when caring for pets. I’m flexible with potty breaks and daily routines, and I’m comfortable caring for pets that may need medication or extra time to adjust. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I’m A Stay At Home Mom So I’m Mainly Home So If You Guys Want Me To Stay Home Then I Will But While We’re Home They’ll Still Get Plenty Of Exercise If Needed And Fun. If I Have Plans Throughout The Day I’ll Keep You Informed. I Have A Backyard But The Fence Isn’t All Around So It’s An Open Backyard So I Would Need A Leash. If You Have To Bring A Crate Or Bed I Have Room In My Room For All Of That And Also They’re Allowed To Be On My Bed If They’re Used To That.
“Elizabeth was a great communicator and I felt safe leaving her with my cats. We were worried about our boy needing medication while we were gone and she was wonderful and got it done with no issues.”
“Destiny was fast to communicate and kind! Loved the care she took with our dog and her thorough drop in updates. She also was unbelievably understanding and flexible when I accidentally shared the wrong address with her. Cannot recommend her services enough.”
About: I have taken care of various types of dogs, ranging from high versus low energy, small v large, senior v puppies, etc! I have lots of experience dog sitting and dog walking/drop in visits, having recurring clients throughout my time in college. I am currently at home while pursuing my career! I am pretty flexible and will do my best to accommodate! Looking forward to hearing from you! For my own household pets, we have a routine of breakfast and dinner, walking to Starbucks for a pup cup, relaxing, sitting outside, etc. I am very flexible to meeting dogs’ needs, whether high energy or more lowkey.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, and I absolutely adore animals. I adopted my own dog three years ago and have learned so much about what it takes to care for your own pup. I am local to the Roland Park area but I have my own car so I’m willing to travel. I am a young real estate agent so my schedule is very flexible to you and your dogs needs. I have also grown up with several anxious dogs and do not get along well with other dogs so I am fully understanding of those situations and willing to work with dogs who may be a bit nervous. I am a realtor in the Pikesville area, but I personally live in Roland Park. The schedule of a realtor is extremely flexible and I am able to make my own schedule. I am available for walks or drop-ins throughout the entire day! Firstly, it is important to me as someone who owns a very anxious dog to establish a good initial relationship with your dog. My dog gets lots of exercise, love and attention and I would absolutely provide the same for yours! On walks, I would make sure that your dog is secure in any materials you provide, well as our surroundings on the walk. I’ve grown up around dogs since the day I was born, I am used to feeding them, walking and playing with them.
“Heather is the bomb dot com! We have used her services multiple times over the past few years and she never disappoints! We know our fur babies are taken care of and well loved in our absence! Thank you Heather!”
About: I had my own dog for 19 amazing years, and caring for her from puppyhood through her senior years taught me so much about love, patience, and responsibility. That experience gave me a deep understanding of what dogs need at every stage of life—from playful walks and training to gentle care in their older years. I genuinely love dogs and find so much joy in being around them. Whether it's a long walk, a belly rub, or just some calm companionship, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy. I currently work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I’m available for overnight stays, early morning walks, and evening walks. I’m happy to work with your schedule and find times that work best for you and your pet! Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or stopping by for a walk, I always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I take time to understand each pet’s needs and personality so they feel secure and cared for. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding, meds, or favorite spots to walk—and I always make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure. I know how much pets are part of the family, and I treat them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own.
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, including birds, guinea pigs, and cats. I love working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have a huge passion for giving animals the best possible life, full of love and affection. I’m very skilled when it comes to shy dogs that need a little extra touch of love as well. I can’t wait to meet your little angel and have the time of our lives :) I’m very flexible and usually available between 11:00am and 10:00pm. I’m more than happy to spend as much time with your doggy as needed :) I have 2 kitties and they are my babies. I often feed, walk and play with many friends and neighbors dogs weekly and id love to care for yours.
About: Hi there, I’m Gaby! I’ve had 2 dogs in my home since I can remember and have been a cat mom since 2024. My family has adopted each of our dogs from rescue shelters and I got my fur baby from BARCS. I love to meet new animals, play with fur babies, and give all the loving possible. I am always up for play time, a walk, or cuddles if needed! With hybrid work availability I would love to help care for any animals that may need some extra assistance while you’re working or away for the day/weekend. I am available most days/nights and almost every weekend if necessary throughout the summer. I am open to stopping by, walks and other activities. Often free on weekends and early mornings for extra walks and cuddles. Maintaining their routine and whatever is most helpful to their needs. Follow schedule if so. I am often working from home and available. Let the animal acclimate, lots of cuddles (or personal space), walks around the neighborhood. Make sure it is comfortable for the pup and their needs

“Angel is amazing! She communicates very well and swiftly. She pays attention to your dogs food and water intake. Will even go the extra mile by washing out the water bowl. A great sitter overall!!”
About: What sets me apart from other care takers is the level of care and attention I give every animal. I take the time to understand their personality and routine and I prioritize inclusion. I love to keep them active and mentally stimulated especially the ones that are ready to rock and roll! I am always available to give updates and even FaceTime so the owners have peace of mind. I would expect that from anyone taking care of my fur baby as well. I am naturally a very active person and being able to play, walk and care for animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I provide attentive, compassionate, and reliable care for pets in my home.I respect each pet owner’s instruction's, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication (if needed), and maintaining a clean environment. I make pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them attention, monitoring their behavior, and respecting their routines.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable and caring dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve helped care for my family dog for the past 7 years, so I understand the daily responsibility, attention, and love that dogs need to feel happy and comfortable. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve also house-sat and watched dogs for others, including taking them on regular walks, sticking to feeding schedules and breakfast/dinner routines, giving them plenty of attention and playtime, and helping administer medications when needed. I know how important consistency and trust are when someone is caring for your pet, and I always do my best to make dogs feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they receive attentive, reliable care and lots of affection. I work a full-time 9–5 job during the week, but I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care in the evenings after work after 5:30. I’m also available for overnight stays during the week if needed, though I would be away during typical work hours (approximately 7:30 AM–5:30 PM). On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available for walks, drop-ins, sitting, overnights, and extended care as needed. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive dependable, attentive care while you’re away. I’ve been caring for dogs for years through both personal experience and dog sitting for others, and I genuinely love spending time with animals. I do my best to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. Whether a dog is playful and energetic or prefers calm cuddles and quiet time, I’m happy to match their personality and routine. I also understand how important consistency is for pets, so I take owners’ instructions seriously and always respect boundaries, routines, feeding schedules, walk preferences, medication needs, and any house rules. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible and provide care that feels like a natural extension of their home environment.
About: My experience includes… • dog walking (short and long walks) • feeding • interactive play • administering medication • bathing and grooming (large and small dogs/ some cats) Im currently a part time college student, so my schedule is pretty open. I’m available 4 days out of the week, but I can be flexible. I love going on walks and I love animals, so taking your fur baby for a stroll would be my pleasure. Before sitting in a clients home, I like to become familiar with what their pet’s day to day life looks like. I like to know what the pet is comfortable/uncomfortable with. I also like to familiarize myself with their feeding/ medication schedule. My goal is to make sure that all pets that I care for are safe and happy. For dogs that are able to, I ensure at least one 15-20 min walk per visit, and maybe even a visit to the dog park if there is one within walking distance. Interactive play is also something that I like to incorporate, whether it’s outside or inside! I can also get pets in and out of crates if need be.
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

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Towson
Maria is detailed, kind, and so observant. She is so positive and loving towards my dog, Lucy. Lucy and I are so lucky to have her care. I felt totally reassured while I was away because Maria provides a thorough update every time she drops in. So grateful!
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!
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.
Catherine has made traveling stress free for our family, and we’re so grateful we found her! We first booked her last minute over Memorial Day, and she was incredibly accommodating, calm, and thoughtful with both us and our 9 year old Border Collie/Lab, Raine, who gets a serious case of the blues and anxiety when we leave. Catherine met Raine exactly where she was, and by day 3 she was all tail wags when Catherine showed up. Her detailed updates gave us peace of mind, and we knew right away we’d book with her again. On our most recent trip, Raine was excited to see her from the start, which says everything about how caring and fun Catherine is. She also handled an unexpected encounter with an unruly dog during a walk with good judgment and care, making sure Raine and everyone involved stayed safe. That kind of attentiveness means so much when you're trusting someone with your pup. I feel completely comfortable leaving Raine in her hands, and I’d recommend Catherine in a heartbeat. We already have future trips planned and will absolutely be booking with her again!
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
Sarah was amazing with our puppy Billie. She was always on time for the check-ins and left great notes and photos to help let us know what was happening and how she was doing. She went above and beyond and will definitely reach out to her again the next time we go away. Thank you Sarah!
Paul was a life saver. I had to leave my almost 5 month old Bernedoodle for the first time for a work trip and was quite nervous about it. Ozzie and I have become super attached to each other this winter stuck at home. Paul jumped in and did daily visits for me- even took him on walks in the 20 degree icy conditions. Ozzie did great with him and I couldnt be happier. We also have an 11 year old that enjoyed Paul’s company. They played a lot of ball together and he wore my little babies out!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Towson is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 5,077 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Towson. 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.
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 Towson 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Towson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
