“Lisa was great with my cat! She did a very thorough meet and greet a few days before the booking. She spent lots of time with my cat and sent me great pictures of him which really helped me to know he was feeling comfortable with her and that he was getting some love while I was gone. I highly recommend her!”
“Alexis was super conscientious and searched the house each day to find my “scaredy” cats when visited. He tempted them with treats to get them to come out, and proactively asked about where to leave keys when I hadn’t left instructions on that. He was reliable and came at the same day each time - no fail. We are so grateful for his dependable and kind care for our cats when we are gone for long stretches of time. Thank you, Alexis!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and look after their pets. While doing this on a part time basis, Pet care is a regular part of my routine—I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and make sure each pet gets the care and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like medications. I keep pets comfortable, engaged, and stress-free, and I always send updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for. I have a fenced in yard and one small dog that can be a companion for your dog or respecting each other space. I have no issue using a crate if preferred.
“Great communication, very reliable, couldn’t be nicer. Will 100% continue going back to. Great care for my special needs pug who has a vary involved routine and needs.”
“Liz spent considerable time getting to know my 'scaredy dog'. Without her willingness to move slowly and strategically, I doubt we'd have been successful with getting Sundae to the point where Liz could take care of her overnight. I really appreciate her efforts.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs alike since middle school. Whether they be my own pets, a friend, a neighbors, my parents or a roommates- I love them all! I enjoy walking and playing with all animals too. Have experience with puppies to senior cats and dogs I work remote most days so am very flexible! Weekends would be my most flexible- happy to do walks, feedings, play times or even home boarding. I have a fenced yard (and I enjoy sitting out there while I work if the weather is nice- so would be happy to keep eyes on pups at all times) I love taking plenty of walks throughout the day too and enjoy bringing a companion with me. I have one cat at home who is quite shy to new pets and introductions would only be made if completely safe.
About: Im a mom to a 4 yaer old German Shepherd, she has taught me a lot, from taking care of her to taking care of me as my ESA. Taking care of my pet is a daily joy. From morning cuddles to evening walks, each moment spent caring for them fills my heart with happiness, just like our furry friends take care of us I wish to di the same for them. When caring for pets, whether in my home or at a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. Here's how I typically approach it: 1. **Comfortable Environment:** I ensure that the environment is pet-friendly, providing cozy bedding, toys, and familiar surroundings to reduce stress. 2. **Regular Exercise and Play:** Pets need exercise and mental stimulation, so I schedule regular walks, playtime, and activities based on their needs and energy levels. 3. **Nutrition and Hydration:** I follow feeding schedules provided by the owner, ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food. 4. **Medication and Special Needs:** If required, I administer medications as instructed by the owner and attend to any special needs such as grooming or medical care. 5. **Safety and Security:** I maintain a safe environment by pet-proofing areas and keeping hazardous substances out of reach. I also ensure all doors and gates are secure to prevent escape. 6. **Regular Updates:** I keep pet owners informed with updates, photos, and messages to reassure them that their pet is in good hands. 7. **Emergency Preparedness:** I'm prepared for emergencies with knowledge of local veterinary services and contact information, as well as understanding any specific medical conditions the pet may have. Overall, I strive to create a loving and nurturing environment where pets feel secure and cared for, whether they are in my home or their own.
“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've been known affectionately as the 'animal charmer', despite having never grown up with a dog and resenting my parents for it. ALways gravitated towards them the most. The more that I've developed and grown as a human being, the more I tend to believe that dogs really are healing to people and vice versa!! Caring and nurturing is natural for me and quite frankly it's an honor. My routine is flexible; I am currently DoorDashing while navigating a career change and I will be more than happy to help in any way! I am an honest person who values personal privacy, care and safety at all times and at almost any cost. Furthermore, I will try to work diligently as well as give my best effort in order to be very respectful of pet space and time. I’m currently navigating a career change and am delivering DoorDash in the meantime, which leaves plenty of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I can make drop in visits, or provide 24/7 on-site care if need be! As a sensitive person, I am very attuned to my peaceful environment and will be more than happy to treat both your fur babies as well as your living space with the utmost care and respect. I’m happy to do solo drop-in visits or provide house-sitting as needed. Please message for details! :)

About: Hi my name is Samantha. I grew up with two dogs so I learned how to take care of pets at a young age. In addition to having pets of my own, I have a few people I petsit for. My experiences include dog walking, drop-ins, and staying overnight. I am looking for more people to help take care of their pets. I enjoy taking care of animals and making sure they are safe and entertained. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you! I am a full-time dog walker/ petsitter. I dog walk for a few hours during the day. I also provide overnight care. I can stay at your house for most of the day while petsitting but I would need to leave for a few hours to go walk dogs. I will always make sure to keep your pets safe. I will make sure to always follow your instructions so I can make sure that they are safe and well taken care of.
About: 💗 If your pet needs someone who’s going to do more than just feed them and head out, I’m your girl!! I genuinely love getting to know each pets personality whether they’re the clingy type who follows you everywhere, the zoomers at night, or the pet who pretends they don’t like anyone (until they secretly do like my orange cat which is now super affectionate). 💗I have two cats of my own a boy orange cat who keeps me entertained every day and a girl black tuxedo cat who’s basically my little shadow. Having my own pets has taught me how much trust it takes to leave them with someone else, so I never take that responsibility lightly. I treat each pet I care for as I would my own. 💗 I’ve been pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors for around five years, caring for everything from fresh new born kittens/puppies to older cats/dogs who just want a quiet companion. I work as a travel home caregiver too, and actually a lot of my clients end up asking me if I can come back just to spend time with their pets when they’re away. I think animals can sense intentions from humans and want company for the ones who actually care and show them love. 💗 I’m a very patient person, so I don’t mind taking things at your pet’s pace. If they’re nervous, I’ll let them warm up to me. If they’re full of energy, I’ll match it. If you’re working on basic training or trying to keep them on a routine, I’m happy to help stay consistent while you’re gone. 💗 I know every pet is different, and that’s honestly my favorite part. Earning a pets trust and make to them feel comfortable is my goal. I want you as a pet parent to come home to a happy pet who was cared for and needs were attended as if you never left. Most mornings start with the gym or a run, then I meal prep before heading to work. I’m a Med Tech, GNA, and travel home caregiver, and I’m also studying Computer Science with a Nursing minor at Morgan State. On my days off, I’m usually reading with my book club, playing my PlayStation, or having a movie night. I keep a pretty balanced routine, so I always have the time and energy to give pets the attention, patience, and love they deserve. I look forward to pet sitting, it’s always the highlights of my week. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I provide attentive care, regular feeding, fun playtime, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and stress free.
“Melody was great with Boh and keeping me updated while I was away! Had open communication with me about my dog and his walks and put me at ease when being away from home. Saved my life with being able to walk him last minute?”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Towson
Maria is very positive, grounded, and kind. She is attentive to my border collie, Lucy, who has takes 2 types of seizure medication and has a very gentle and shy personality. Because of the concerns with her health, Maria is very good about responding to texts. She is very good about letting me know Lucy's activities as well as sending photos. There is a peace of mind when I leave Lucy with Maria. I'm grateful for her attention to details and her loving care. I'll be asking for Maria's help again.
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!

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
