“Karenna is a reliable and thoughtful sitter. She made my cats feel like they had a friend when I was away. She cleaned up, asked questions along the way, and got my shy kitty to come out for rubs and pets. I will definitely use her again- I highly recommend her!”
About: I have more than 15 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and especially comfortable caring for pets with complex care instructions, including medications, special feeding schedules, senior pets, or multi-pet households. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you're away. I enjoy spending quality time with them so they don't feel lonely, whether that means playing, cuddling, or taking long walks with your dog. I believe pets thrive when they receive companionship, consistency, and plenty of attention. I'm also happy to help care for your home by bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, taking out trash, and completing other small household tasks while you're away. You can count on me to communicate regularly, follow instructions carefully, and treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible remote job that allows me to adjust my schedule throughout the day. I'm able to accommodate multiple visits per day, including morning, midday, evening, and bedtime check-ins, and I'm happy to work with your pet's regular routine to keep them comfortable and well cared for. I follow your pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I carefully follow feeding, medication, litter box or potty routines, and spend quality time playing, walking, or simply keeping them company so they don't feel lonely. I also treat your home with respect and am happy to bring in mail, water plants, and provide regular updates so you know your pet is doing well.
“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!”
“Bito is hands-down terrific! Really went above and beyond. Clearly won over the hearts of our cats, and even convinced our shy recluse to allow some pets — very impressed! I would trust Bito to cat sit or house sit without any reservation whatsoever. Highly recommend without any reservation whatsoever. Bito left my house cleaner than when I left for vacation, and watered my plants too :)”
“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.”
“Amanda is a fabulous sitter. She was so lovely to meet and I felt so comfortable leaving my two cats in her care. Amanda is very punctual and responsive. I will definitely rebook with Amanda. I highly recommend her!”
About: Growing up, I was always around dogs and developed a strong love for them. I have owned German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, and German Shorthaired Pointers. I have always walked, and fed the dogs in the house. I work early mornings and am finished before noon, so I have plenty of time during the day to care for pets. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and enjoy some fresh air. I also have a friendly German Shorthaired Pointer/Beagle mix named Oreo who loves having other dogs around. We can play catch in the yard, go for walks around the neighborhood, and I’ll make sure each pet is fed, cared for, and given plenty of attention.
“Michelle is very reliable, and our dog absolutely loves her. Michells is doing drop-in visits and walks for us during the week while we are at work. Our dog is always so happy to see her! We also really appreciate her willingness to commit to a regular, weekly schedule. Michelle is GREAT!”
About: I have had about 5 dogs in my life, all of different breeds. I love being around them, they are all sweet and unique in their own way! I am available during the weekends, as I do work through out the week. It allows me to properly focus on other tasks, such as taking care of pets. I can do walks, as I like to go on a daily walk myself. I would feed pets however many times they need to be fed.
“Christine took care of Widge while I had to be away for a few days. She was awesome and provided regular updates and photos, and took the time to make sure my kitty felt well cared for and didn't feel lonely. :)”
About: I’ve always have pets in my life since I was young. I’ve cared for cats, dogs of all sizes, fish, birds, mice, hamsters, rabbits, turtles and small snakes. This includes cats and dogs with special medical needs. My family, friends and coworkers often turn to me to care for their animals when they leave town, I’m always delighted to help. I promise to love your pets as much as you do! I work a PT with a rotating schedule alternating AM and PM availability. I’m more than happy to accommodate to meet any specific time constraints! I have a small fenced in yard and access to large grassy areas for exercise if boarding at home. I’m very respectful of personal property and will follow any specific directions left to care for you home as well as your pets.

I’m attentive to routines, patient with different personalities, and take pride in keeping pets comfortable, safe, and happy. I treat every pet like my own and truly love what I do.

I keep a calm, clean, and pet-safe environment, and I’m always attentive to your pet’s needs. In your home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and well-cared-for during every visit.
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.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Towson
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!
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!!
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!
This was my first time ever leaving my dog with someone outside of family, so I was honestly very nervous. My dog is extremely shy, very attached to me, and doesn’t warm up to people easily. But Amy made the entire experience feel so safe and comfortable from the very beginning. One thing I truly appreciated was that she took the time to meet my dog before the actual booking day and never forced interaction. She allowed him to approach her at his own pace, respected his space, and made him feel comfortable naturally. Seeing that level of patience and understanding meant so much to me. While I was away, Amy constantly kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The photos showed my dog relaxed, laying next to her and even cuddling with her, something he normally doesn’t do with strangers. That alone told me everything I needed to know about how caring and trustworthy she is. She was punctual, responsible, respectful, attentive to every detail, and genuinely cared about making sure my dog felt safe and comfortable the entire time. I could tell she truly loves animals and treats them with so much patience and kindness. I’m beyond grateful for the care she provided and I would absolutely recommend Amy to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their pet. She exceeded all my expectations and I would 100% book with her again.

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.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
