“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!”
“Sam is a wonderful pet sitter. She has been so flexible during multiple last minute changes and emergencies. I fully trust her to care for my cat and I’ve noticed my cat also really likes her. She has been great at following my care instructions and always provides pictures and descriptions of how he’s doing. Definitely one of the best pet sitting experiences I’ve had!”
“Maria was super communicative and followed instructions. It made my time away from my kitties much less stressful to know she was taking care of them! Thank you!”
“I have to say that Ayanna is definitely top notch. This is my first time using this app. And I definitely got lucky the first time around. Has excellent communication! Notified me immediately of updates or any concerns. I definitely felt very relaxed knowing my babies were taken care of. Definitely will be a repeat customer. Have to say a big thank you for keeping all of our babies safe and giving me a piece of mind.”
“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!😊”
“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!”
“Jennifer was great! She was great with my dog and two cats and took good care of them! Her communication was very good and she had quick responses to my messages. I would definitely recommend!”
About: Hi!! My name is Elisha. It is a pleasure to be a consideration to you. A little about me .. I’ve taken care of many doggies and kitties for relatives, friends, you name it. Since I can remember. I treat them as I would real children and companions. If you are in need of an extra hand, to walk or to visit your pup/kitty, I am available. I know life can get busy with work, traveling, or even dates. That is why I am so compassionate towards fur babies and believe that for your comfort as an owner, Rover is a great investment. I try to keep costs low as I am new, so here is to new pup/kitty beginnings ! I work 3-5 hours in the Baltimore area, however I live up Harford county so I’m flexible with locations and times! I can do early mornings, late noons, whichever is preferred by you :) I have a friendly pittie who can keep your dog company on walks (if they fare well that way) I will give often updates, photos, any notes as needed. An additional service I like to do for clients is picking up waste in the back, as it tends to become tedious and maybe difficult for some people, I am all here for it ! Please request that when booking.

“Rowyn was amazing with our two kitties! I felt so comforted going on a long trip knowing she was checking in on them. She went above and beyond the care instructions we left, and it was clear our cats loved her!”
About: I’ve worked with shelters for a while and also fostered 2 dogs. My family has had dogs for a while and I’ve done training classes for puppies! I work from home 4 days a week so I have lots of time to take pets on walks or stop by to give them some love or attention! I would have my attention focused solely on the pet and do whatever I could to help and love them. I would make sure to touch base with the owner on instructions and things to look out for.

Pet 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Towson is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 5,259 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Towson. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 .
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. 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.
