“Right from the Meet and Greet we were very impressed with Michael - he asked some great questions about our dogs and their behaviors/routines that were an immediate indication he knows dogs well. We have two Australian Shepherds, an older Aussie with some reactivity, and a younger Aussie who is still in training and with tons of energy. He kept them engaged, active, and worked on some training. If he can manage our crazy boys, I'm confident he can handle just about any dogs! He provided dog/house sitting for 1 night/2 days, and we're already booking him for future trips.”

“Johnathan was absolutely amazing! My dog Luna is dog reactive and can struggle with meeting new people. Johnathan’s calm demeanor and experience with dogs made all the difference for Luna. What I also really appreciated was the constant updates he would provide through messages AND pictures of Luna through Rover. I was fully able to enjoy my vacation because I knew Luna was in great hands. When I came back home from vacation, Luna was relaxed and calmly chewing on a bone. That was one more confirmation that it was a great experience for Luna!”

“Emily took care of our recently adopted (reactive) dog and our two cats. This occurred around the snow/ice storm in February 2025, which caused havoc with walking the dog and being outside. Yet Emily was up to the task and we came home to a very happy dog and very happy cats! Also, when the dog got into some mischief in the house, Emily contacted me right away to let me know - which I 100% appreciated. Together we came up with a game plan. This was the responsible, honest, and careful way to proceed, which was great. I definitely would use Emily again.”

About: I take your pet’s routine seriously—and their little quirks personally. I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my life, and friends trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, including a British Shorthair cat and a dog. I know that feeling comfortable means more than a full food bowl: it means familiar routines, patience, attention, and company they actually enjoy. Whether your pet loves a long sniff-filled walk, endless playtime, or someone quietly sitting nearby, I’ll follow their lead. I’ll respect your instructions, keep you updated with photos, and pay attention to the little things you tell me matter. My goal is simple: a happy, comfortable pet—and you enjoying your time away without wondering how they’re doing. I can walk dog and feed cats anywhere from 7.30 am to 3 pm and 3.30 pm to 11 pm. Working from home so my schedule can be flexible I make a pet feels like home. I have a water fountain and can follow any diet restriction if needed. I have a three story town house and usually pets are on the first floor

I live in the Fed Hill/Riverside area and WFH most days! I would love to get out of the house and walk dogs on my lunch break whenever possible. I miss my pups back home and am needing some time with dogs! I can easily walk dogs on the leash or with a harness! I can crate if needed and do whatever is best for your pets needs!

About: I have over 6 years of professional animal care experience, including working as a veterinary assistant, at dog daycare and boarding facilities, and caring for farm animals. I have also volunteered with wildlife rehabilitation centers and horse stables, so I am comfortable working with a wide variety of species and personalities. I grew up around animals and currently have pets of my own, including cats and reptiles. Throughout my life I have cared for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and I am confident handling pets with different temperaments and needs. Friends, family, and coworkers have always relied on me when they need someone they trust to watch their pets or ask questions about animal care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I would love to meet you and your pets and provide reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about. I have a relatively open schedule as I do my school work remotely, so I have plenty of time to swing by whenever you may need. I will follow all set directions for your pets, whether you want them out in the yard or leashed on a walk, and whatever else they may need.

About: I’ve been around pets most of my life and have a deep understanding of their needs, body language, and personalities. I offer calm, attentive care tailored to each pet, whether it’s a playful puppy learning the basics or a senior pet needing extra patience, meds, or gentle walks. I’m experienced with basic training, crate routines, senior care, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. I treat every animal like family, with love, respect, and a focus on their well-being and happiness. Pet care fits naturally into my life right now. After going through cancer last year, I’m focused on healing and creating a life filled with joy and purpose. I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals brings me peace, and I’d be honored to be a loving, dependable presence for your pet while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where animals can relax and feel secure. I respect each pet’s routine and preferences, and I always follow your instructions closely whether it’s about food, walks, medications, or cuddle limits! In your home, I treat the space with care and keep things clean and consistent so your pet stays comfortable. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll have a peaceful, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, supervision, and attention. Safety and trust are everything to me and so is making sure your pet feels right at home, wherever they are.

About: I have administered care to both cats and dogs since I was younger, which has included regular stop-ins, administering medicine, and much deserved play time! I am a grad student who is currently working part-time, which allows for a flexible schedule throughout the week. Mornings and evenings are most available, but I do have the capability of checking in more often when I have off work. I love to give pets all the attention they deserve! They have brought so much good into my life and I hope to share that with others!

Carlos is amazing and we HIGHLY recommend him! Went above and beyond and exceeded all expectations. He watched our dogs for 11 days in our home and was very responsible, communicative and reliable. Aside from that, he also did walks for our dogs and was punctual. One of our dogs is on a special diet and is a picky eater and Carlos was able to deal with her no problem. He’s a dog whisperer and even managed to get our people-weary pup to warm up to him. He even took the dogs along with him on mini adventures instead of leaving them at home! We love Carlos and feel blessed to have found him and we will be clients for as long as he will have us.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dundalk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Dundalk is $66 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $99 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 3,627 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dundalk. 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 Dundalk 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 Dundalk 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 Dundalk 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dundalk. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
