“Suzanne was prompt and very flexible with our needs. We were very grateful to have a meet and greet before leaving town. Both our cat and dog require daily medication and we appreciated her attention to detail. The pets seemed relaxed when we returned ❤️”
“Maria was great to work with. She took excellent care of my 3 cats and Cane Corso while we were away on a 5 day trip. We opted for her to stay at the house since our pets love having company and can get a little anxious when we are gone. She kept us updated with pictures and the status of everyone. Our home was also as we left it. Highly recommend.”
“Amanda did an amazing job caring for our pup. Our pup is almost never left alone so this was a big deal for us. She put us at ease and made sure she knew all the details necessary to care for him. She sent us lots of pictures and took him on all his favorite walkies. We had a great vacation knowing he was in good hands.”
“Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!”
“Amazing house sitter, responsible and communicative! We had Jeff stay at our house for a week with our elderly pitbull and energetic saluki. Jeff took great care of our boys and our house and kept us updated the whole time. He is friendly and professional, 10/10 would reccommend!”
About: I have owned dogs my entire life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I also occasionally foster dogs to support my local shelter and have experience pet-sitting for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and cats. I am a fast learner with strong attention to detail, and I take pride in following instructions carefully. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for both you and your pet. I am currently on winter break from college, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am available for as many pet visits as needed and can easily accommodate multiple check-ins, extended visits, or last-minute requests. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to ensure they receive consistent, attentive care. I provide attentive, reliable care that prioritizes each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in their owner’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication needs if applicable, exercise, and enrichment. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and companionship tailored to their energy level—from energetic puppies to senior dogs. For cats, I focus on feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and calm companionship while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I have experience caring for pets through lifelong dog ownership, fostering animals from local shelters, and pet-sitting for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs and cats. I pay close attention to details, maintain a clean and safe environment, and make sure pets feel secure and stress-free while their owners are away. With my flexible schedule during winter break, I am available for multiple visits and can adapt easily to your pet’s needs.
“Zana was wonderful with my Lulu and Solo (senior Yorkie and adolescent cat). She got them to warm up to her quickly and she kept them and my home in good order for an entire week. I appreciated the regular check-ins and photos during my time away. AND she was a real trooper despite a couple of unfortunate incidents in the neighborhood with some wanna be car thieves. I would highly recommend Zana!! She will love your fur babies as her own. And she’s very patient with a somewhat anxious pet owner.”
“Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!”
“Sierra did a great job dogsitting my senior dog and housesitting while I was out of town for a long weekend! She sent updates and pictures, which was very reassuring!”
“Karenna did a great job sitting and walking our high energy shepherd while we were in the area for a wedding. Very communicative and responsible and sent lots of photo updates. Was conscious of keeping our dog safe and happy and we never needed to worry.”
About: I have experience with dogs/animals of all types! Being raised on a hobby farm, I grew up with a deep love for animals and have cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, rabbits, and small rodents. I currently have a senior husky with epilepsy and a hospice foster dog at home, so I am very comfortable working with seniors or animals who might have some extra needs. Recently, I worked for a private client in Baltimore city doing drop-in visits and overnight stays in my home 3-4 days a week, caring for a 100lb Labrador Retriever. I would love to get to know your best friend (and you)! Please reach out with any additional questions! I am currently preparing to start my graduate internship in mental health counseling. Due to this, I currently have a lot of available time and flexibility in my work schedule. Making sure your pet stays safe and happy while I’m with them is my main priority. You’re the expert on your pet, so I will always listen to your wishes/rules for your pet and home while I’m there.
“Amanda did a great job with our anxious and reactive dog. She handled all of his meds well and even gave him extra breaks and walks outside. He was happy and relaxed when we got home for our trip.”
“Sunshine did so well with our senior dog and senior cat! They also kept our house clean and tidy as well as brought in mail and packages. Would highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 2. I have looked after dogs, cats, and guinea pigs of various ages since 12. I love caring for pets and have a dog of my own! I also volunteer at animal shelters when I have the chance. I’m working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with your pet! During summer I will especially have loads of availability. I have a crate trained dog who is very friendly and can keep your pet company. I have a spacious apartment but am flexible to take care of your pet wherever!
“To take care of a puppy and a senior dog is a lot of work. Courtenay did a great job staying in our home and allowing our dogs their regular routines. Lucky and Oscar love Courtenay. ❤️🐾❤️”
“Great care for our little rescue guy. My dog instantly took to her. Eileen house sat and dog sat and was beyond responsible for both. We would 100 % call her when needed. She went out of hr way and I knew my guy was safe and happy.”
“Jasmine was able to housesit and take care of my dog and cat on relatively short notice and did a tremendous job! She asked all the relevant questions I hadn't necessarily thought about during the meet and greet and made sure I was fully aware of any of her other obligations during the stay and made sure my pets were completely taken care of. She sent lots of photos, videos, and updates which provided me solid peace of mind. She even brought up small things I hadn't thought about such as checking the mail and making sure the trash was taken out, and even took the time to feed some of the stray cats that like to come around to hang out and ask for food. I came home to two very happy and healthy animals and can't recommend Jasmine enough.”
About: I specialize with big dogs and elderly dogs. I'm a taller guy with a longer walking stride so larger dogs can get more for workout. My schedule is daily throughout the whole day. I normally like to plan 24 hours in advance but if my schedule is open I don't mind same day or last minute. Tuesday -Thursday from 11am-3pm I am not available I currently have no pets right now at my home I do have a rather large backyard. At the parents home, I do make sure that the pets are well fed and hydrated before leaving unless otherwise told. Disclaimer: If there issues at the home during my time at your residence and not disclosed before booking such as but not limited to: proper running water, working AC/HEAT, controlled pest infestation, power outage, violent pet(s), unsanitary conditions, health concerns without proper insurance you will liable for the vet bill and transportation cost or all day 24 hour care with a pet(s) that can not be alone for 3-4 hours than will incur with an extra inconvenience charge of $100 or more and/or cancellation with the help of Rovers support team.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Towson
Maggie was incredible, she really took care of our 3! Especially with our paraplegic dachshund and her communication was next level! She was able to keep our schedule and when there was an issue with bladder expression she reached out on FaceTime and was on the phone until it was figured out. 10/10 and the next time we need a sitter, she’s our first call.
Hannah was fantastic! I am incredibly particular as are my dogs. I have high needs dogs, particularly seniors that require extra patience and attention to which Hannah provided exceptional care. She came through to care for my dogs on short notice and went above and beyond to care for them. I trust her and really appreciated how thoughtful, compassionate and patient she was I highly recommend Hannah. she was incredibly attentive and communicative. Again I am someone who’s incredibly particular and she exceeded my expectations. Thank you for everything Hannah.
This was the first time we used, Paul, and he did a great job! He was professional, timely, fastidious, and very communicative throughout our five day trip. She clearly loves dogs, and was very in tune with the needs of our elderly dog. Will definitely be using him again!
We could not have asked for a better sitter than Sejal. She took care of my Boston Terrier after a last minute request, and sent regular pictures and updates. She went above and beyond when Mavis had a health emergency. Sejal took her to the Pet ER and stayed with her for 7 hours, keeping me updated the whole time. Her communication is top notch, and the love and care she had for Mavis was apparent. I cannot recommend Sejal enough for anyone needing a dog sitter.
Absolutely wonderful! For starters, my three dogs loved her! Even the one who is a little grumpy. She stayed in our house for three nights and looked after our dogs while there. She was very communicative, prompt, and respectful of our home! It looked like no one had even stayed there. Would love to book her services again (if our diaper dog didn't scare her off)!
Lara was AMAZING! This was our first time using Rover so we were a little apprehensive but Lara went above and beyond with our pups. She was super communicative and provided daily photos/updates on our dogs throughout the week. Our Golden had a few health issues pop up right before we left for vacay but Lara took great care of her and administered all of the meds every day to ensure she was well on her way back to full health by the time we got home. I have a feeling Lara will be our new go-to pet/house sitter moving forward!
Stephanie did a great job caring for our English Springer during a recent and rather last minute trip for us. I appreciated her clear communication and thoughtful questions. Daisy seemed happy when we got home and the house was just was we left it. We definitely hope to hire Stephanie again.
Taylor was an exceptional dog sitter and house sitter when I went out of town for 5 days. She was so kind and attentive to my dog Zara, and asked very thoughtful questions during the meet and greet she arranged before my trip. She was even willing to go on a walk around the neighborhood with me and Zara to see our route, her interactions with other dogs, and favorite dog park nearby. When she found out a heat wave was coming, she even reached out for an updated walking route and schedule to protect her from hot pavement/sidewalks. She went above and beyond to wake up really early to walk Zara during the coolest time of the day when Zara’s favorite dog park was in the shade so she could still enjoy her zoomies. She was also a dream houseguest and clearly went out of her way to keep everything tidy in her room, restroom, kitchen, etc. She was so courteous, professional, punctual, and thoughtful. I’ll probably plan my next trip out of town around her availability lol.
I had Mitchell house sit my 120-130lb bernese, Disco, for an overnight while my wife and I were part of a wedding which would really occupy most of our attention. Mitchell is a guy that's easy to trust, easy going, and follows directions well. Disco loved him and seemed to have a great time because hes very tired today. Mitchell took him for several walks through the woods in our property, including down to the stream where disco likes to drink the majority of his water like a camel. We got photos of their adventure all day and while I didn't have time to respond it was good to look at my phone and know hes having a good time instead of just laying by the door waiting for us to come home. I would absolutely recommend Mitchell to other people and hope to book him again when we need him.
Emma was amazing with our very anxious and reactive pup. She replied immediately to a last minute house sitting request, came right over to get the lowdown, was great at keeping Bruno calm, and took great care of him! He developed a little eye irritation while she was with him. She did an excellent job letting us know about it while also conveying that she wasn’t particularly concerned.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Towson on Rover is $49.22 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,282 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Towson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Towson walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Towson maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Towson. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
