Highly-rated overnight sitters - Timonium
“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly. On top of that, they are super-flexible with drop off and pick up times and took Indy in on very short notice. Will definitely be back”
“I immediately felt comfortable after meeting Dorothy and knew my dog was in good hands. I appreciated her updates and flexibility with our schedule. We will book again!”
“I will definitely be using Andrew again! That says a lot because I will usually only leave my pets with family members. I was very nervous and he set my mind at ease. I was able to be on vacation without a worry in the world. He is so easy to communicate with. Sent lots of videos and updates. If you are looking for a great sitter Andrew is your man!!!”
“Nicole was an amazing host! She took loving care of our dog and sent frequent updates & photos. We will definitely trust her with our dog again if the need arises.”
“Thank you Olga for taking care of our Darla while we were away. You always update us of your daily activities with photos & videos. Darla developed that connection already with you. I would definitely bring back Darla to you if need arises. Thank you again…”
“Steph is absolutely AMAZING! First off it was short notice maybe 4 hours before I had to leave and everyone kept turning me down until this wonderful woman was kind enough to take her in . My baby had a blast with her and Jax. She sent me pictures and you could see the happiness in my baby’s eyes . Anytime I go out of town Valkyrie will be hanging out with her new bestfriend Jax . Definitely 10 out 10”
About: Hello! I am a veterinary technician of 8 years and pet owner of 20+ years who is highly experienced in animal care and petsitting. As a cat, horse, and previous dog owner myself I understand that our pets are our family! I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I work part time hours and am off weekends and holidays. I’m happy to spend my free time playing, walking, and spending time with your pet! While at work crates, gates, or free roam can be used depending on your pets needs and comfort. Pets will be monitored through pet cams during working hours. While in my home pets can have free roam or access to a crate depending on their needs and comfort. For walks I utilize harnesses and if needed can add a back up slip lead if owner feels more comfortable to ensure safety. Pets will always have access to fresh water and toys and will be well loved while in my care!
“Ariel was awesome! She was very welcoming and friendly. She kept me updated with pics and took phenomenal care of Polo. This was his first time being left with a stranger so I was nervous but I can tell he loved Ariel. He will definitely be a frequent flyer with Ariel.”
“Jessica's place was great stay for my dog. I loved her cute back yard and that she's right across the street from a park. I also appreciate the one on one attention my pup received. Thank you for loving on my girl while we were away.”
“Steven is truly the best! He is so thoughtful and caring with your dog and creates such a safe environment. When my dog got injured right before her stay with Steven, he was so helpful and tended to her wounds diligently. I always look forward to having my dog stay with Steven when I am away so that I can rest easy!”
“Marissa is extremely caring and flexible and treats the dogs she watches like family! I consider her house to be a second home for my dog. Unlike a kennel I always know Marissa will be there to snuggle and play with the dogs and the dogs will get tons of time to play together.”
“Liz is amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog with someone and I was nervous but she made everything so easy. She took such great care of my dog that I think he misses her now. We will be booking again in a few weeks ☺️☺️☺️”
“Kaylynn was great! I was a little nervous before I left my dog because I had never used someone I didn’t know before, but Kaylynn quickly put my mind at ease. She texted me often with updates, sent lots of videos and responded to my messages quickly. I won’t hesitate to use her again”
“Wow! What an amazing experience! I felt at ease knowing my Bentley boo was in the hands of Lisa! When asked, Lisa provided an update with videos! I’m considering booking a few daycare stays for my baby with her because she’s that great! Her home was beat and clean and Bentley had other fur babies to engage with. I’m so happy I found her!”
“Our Bellatrix's first time with Crissy and she had a wonderful time. Crissy was great keeping in touch and sending pics. Thank you Crissy. Bellatrix will see you and Dublin again soon ☺️”

“Blair took care of our two cats and our outdoor plants/garden for roughly 10 days and was truly wonderful! She provided regular photos and updates on everything and made us feel fully confident that our cats were well taken care of! I highly recommend her.”
“Karenna did a great job at cat sitting while we were away, we couldn’t have left her in better hands. While our fluffball is very shy, she did her best to try and bond with her. Eventually got to pet her! Definitely would recommend.”
“Elizabeth consistently exceeded expectations! She took the time to keep my boys happy, took them onto my balcony every day, and was so thorough that my separation anxiety was gone despite being in another country. An added bonus is all the pictures she takes-I definitely have saved some of the super silly ones and they make me happy!”
“I’m so thankful Ashley. I picked 2 weeks of the worst weather and you made it every day. You kept me informed and updated on our cat, checked the basement for water leaks, and even let Birdie sit on your lap for comfort. Thank you so much. I know these last two weeks were not easy. We really appreciate it. I can’t wait to see my baby.”
“Brian was absolutely wonderful with our Bernedoodle puppy Oreo! Despite Oreo being a 60+ pound bundle of adolescent energy, Brian handled him with patience, confidence, and ease. He was always on time, professional, and genuinely caring. Oreo absolutely loved his visits and that says everything. Highly recommend Brian without hesitation. Will definitely book again!”
“This was our first time booking with Jenna but it will absolutely not be our last! She is absolutely lovely and was a pleasure to work with. She gave such great feedback and sent lots of pictures of our kitty, and went above and beyond, taking care of packages delivered, feeding our fish, and handling some unexpected mishaps left by the cat! We highly recommend Jenna!!”
“Joshua was wonderful, he was timely, communicative, and our shy kitty absolutely loved him. If you are looking for someone dependable who loves your pet he is the one!”
“Katie took great care of my two cats while I was away for a long holiday weekend. She was very flexible and accommodating to the check in time I requested, followed all instructions, communicative and sent great pictures and updates. Will plan to book again for future visits!”
“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!”

About: Cats have been part of my life since childhood, and I was the primary caregiver for our family cats throughout my school years. As an adult, I shared my home with cats for nearly a decade and understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine. I enjoy earning a cat’s trust at their own pace and providing calm, attentive care while you’re away. Whether your cat is playful, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’ll respect their needs and keep you updated so you can travel with peace of mind.
“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.”
“Brianna did a great job of drop in visits for our cats over 12 days. Unfazed by winter weather, we received daily updates and pics. House was clean and cats very content when we returned. Great communications. Will definitely rebook.”
“Maria is amazing. My cats are shy, but by the second day they were asking for pets and scratches. I received daily updates on what was going on (snacks, puzzles) and some really great photos. I will definitely book her again and so should you!”

“Jordan is absolutely fantastic! I wanted to give my parents a day off while they watched my 11 month old for the week and Jordan was the perfect person to do so. My puppy has separation anxiety and my mom said he didn’t even notice her leave he was so excited to spend the day with Jordan and Biscuit. It was such a relief knowing he was well cared for and having a great time. He even fell asleep cuddled up with Jordan! Jordan sent so many pictures and was just the sweetest from the first moment we got in contact with each other! I’ve already booked her again :) I highly recommend going with Jordan!!!”

He was totally exhausted when he came home and even slept in the next day, which I love. She was flexible too, as pickup details shifted during his stay. I would highly recommend Olga to anyone!”
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!
About: With 15 years of pet ownership, I pride myself on being patient, reliable, and communicative. I'm a pet owner too, so I know how important it is to stick to your pet's routine and send plenty of updates so you can relax. As a graduate student, I have a very flexible schedule. My campus is only a 10-minute drive away, which means I can easily come home to check on your pet every 2-4 hours, or as often as needed. My neighborhood has plenty of green spaces and safe areas, perfect for long walks and playtime. My home features a secure, fenced-in backyard with plenty of grass, giving your pet a safe space to play and take comfortable potty breaks. I have a friendly, 5-year-old Siberian Husky who loves making new friends. For everyone's safety, he is neutered and kept completely up-to-date on all vaccinations and routine care. I also have an XL dog crate available for your dog's use if that is part of their normal routine.
“My pup Jewel had a lovely time with Barbara! I recommend her, she was open to have a initial meet and greet and immediately I could tell she was loving, and sweet and my dog would be in good care with her. She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my time away and I so very much appreciated that. In every picture Jewel looked how she does at home smiling or tongue out , she was well taken care of with Barbara and family this is not the last time they will see Jewel! Thank you!”
“Shannon has been absolutely amazing! I’ve been in Baltimore for work and decided to find a place my dog could go to at least once a week for fun. Shannon and her family treat Dori like family. She’s very accommodating to our schedule and Dori always comes home tired out from a day of fun! We’ll definitely be returning if we come back up to Baltimore!”

“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”
“Absolutely fantastic! Reliable, caring, and our pups adore her. Always on time, great communication, and she goes the extra mile—literally. Highly recommend to anyone who wants peace of mind and happy dogs!”
About: Thank you for considering me. I’ll treat your dog as a member of my own family. I have experience with dogs who have medical or speacial limits. I have lived with dogs my whole life. I have experience with other pets such as cats, snakes, rabbits, lizards, and fish. I love sending you photo updates on your pet. I do understand that the pets decide whether or not to accept someone as a sitter. I hope to get to know your amazing pets, just as well as you do. Thank you. I have a very flexible schedule. I am currently investing myself in education, and preparation for an apprenticeship. Giving time to pet care would be a highlight to my day. Although this was originally created for sitting I am more than confident in walking your dog. I would love to know what training your dog may already have so that I can work with it, rather than against it. If your dog has no training, perhaps we could practice some walking skills together
“Brian was great! Super punctual and a true dog lover who was more than willing and able to handle some extra accommodations for our senior dog. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using him again!”
“Curtis is a delightful young man. He is a loving and energetic dog walker and enjoys greeting and interacting with the cats when he comes by. Bonus: he’s a lovely conversationalist. I highly recommend Curtis.”
About: I grew up with a bunch of pets. I always have had at least one dog or cat. I love spending time with all animals!! I have a very flexible schedule - I work remote Mondays through Fridays. I have plenty of time to spend time with the furry animals! Owners home: Will depend on situation - for a dog will walk around the neighborhood or let out in the yard depending on preference. Cat: Will make sure to spend plenty of time with the cat around the house.
About: I’ve taken care of many animals since I was 12. I currently work at The Diggs at Paws and Claws. I have experience with overnight sitting in peoples homes, regular sitting, walking,etc. I love taking care of any animal it’s always been my favorite job. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am able to do most hours for sitting. I can switch my schedule around to fit others. My neighborhood is very safe and secure. I have a nice backyard and park next door to my house. I will always make sure your pet is taken care of.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animal since I was a baby! Growing up, I was always asked if I lived on a farm because of all the pets we had (I did not, but it felt like one). This includes large and small dogs, cats, goats, bunnies, guinea pigs, ducks, guinea hens, snakes, a turtle, and fish. Being surrounded by all these animals while growing up has made caring for animals come naturally to me. Currently, I do not have any pets where I live, but I still consider my two cats and a large yellow English lab as my pets! Although I am new to Rover, I have years of experience of pet sitting various types of animals of all ages. I am comfortable with all types of dogs and am very active, so I would make sure to spend plenty of quality time taking them on long walks or when stopping in for a visit :) I also love spending time with cats and other animals, so I would always be free for a drop in! I am currently a nursing student on summer break, so I am free for drop-ins and walks whenever needed, and am very flexible to last-minute requests. I am available mostly during the weekdays at any time, and some weekends as well. When in your home, I will follow your normal routine with your pet closely to make sure they feel comfortable and loved, whether that is long walks around the neighborhood/on a trail, visits to the park, special treats, or anything else they might enjoy.

Gracie warmed up to her and the kids quickly and made fast friends with them. Gracie loves her romps in the back yard and her walks in the neighborhood. Ruth is so responsive and communicates with us via the Rover texts and sends reassuring photos. We are thrilled to have found Ruth and her wonderful family. We are so particular about who cares for Gracie. We can leave her with Ruth knowing she will be cared for and loved. We highly recommend Ruth!!”

I am thankful for the extra TLC and patience she showed our boy. We will definitely being calling again for future needs! Thank you ?”
