About: Hello furry parents! My name is Lily and I’m excited to support you and your family. I have worked with all dog breeds and all ages through fostering. I am currently in my training certification program to provide proper education to you and your puppers. I am an online student looking to spend my free time with amazing pets. My top priority is to give all animals time and love. Whether it’s giving a long walk, using my dog park at my complex or administering medication, I’m your girl! When I would care for your pets, it’s all about the greeting. I would love to make sure your pets are as comfortable with you as for me! If you’d love me to help them learn tricks, feel free to request!

About: I grew up taking care of pets at home, and even the neighbors! That includes dogs, cats, lizards, frogs, chinchillas, fish, hamsters, all different types! I’m currently an online student so I have a very flexible schedule! I was recommended to rover through a friend and I thought it would be perfect for my schedule especially for people who need a last minute sitter/ walker! I love going on walks and will be happy to take your pet for a long walk if wanted! I also like to spend lots of play time with pets.

About: I’m home 90% of the time. I am very caring and compassionate. I will not leave your dog unattended. I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life. From Yorkie Poos to Pitbulls and Rottweilers. I know how to wash, feed, and walk a dog without any hiccups. I know the signs of sick dogs. Just tell me the primary veterinarian for your dog and I will take them. I will also contact you as much as required. I’m not afraid of any dog. I am very loving. Your dog will be in amazing hands. I’m a music and theatre lover. I’ll probably find a dog park for us to go to. We might go on a hike. I love adventure. I have energy for days.

About: Like most people on this app, I love all animals. I grew up on a farm and currently have a dog of my own (his name is Colby 🐶). Over the years my family and I have fostered both cats and dogs ranging from 2 months old to 10 years old. I have also previously worked at different animal shelters. At the moment I am out of school and out of work so I am at home for most the day. I enjoy this though because it gives me time to take care of my pup I have a fenced in yard and a huge basket filled with fun and challenging toys! I make sure to give my dog a potty break at least every 2 hours but when it’s nice out, I leave the door open. My pup goes for walks 2-4 times a day depending on the weather and how I think my dog is feeling.

About: I took care of my neighbors pets all my life. House sitting, sometimes just going over to let them outside. I’m trusted with pet care I work full time but off on most weekends, so I’m free most weekends. Usually off during the week by 3:30 pm. Major holidays I’m off as well I prefer to house sitting dogs at the clients place. That is preferred just because the dogs are already in a good environment at their house. I have two dogs currently and my mom lives at home as well.

About: I have taken care of multiple types of animals, large and small all of my life. I specialize in senior animal care (cats and dogs) as I have always adopted senior animals to live out their days, no matter their medical conditions. I am also very active and enjoy having a companion for outdoor activities. My life revolves around my animals and the animals I take care of both inside and outside of work. I will schedule my day around the animals. I care for every animal as if it were my own. It is important for me to understand every animal's unique needs and personalities so they are the most comfortable when their owners aren't home.

About: Hello, my name is Jenny! I have my bachelor's degree in Pre-Veterinary Science and worked as a Vet-Tech for over 4 years. I have experience with senior dogs and can give oral or subcutaneous medications such as diabetes injections or seizure medication. I am able to do nail trims, paw pad fur clipping, ear cleaning, brushing, or simple baths. Also, I have ample experience with stubborn dog breeds such as huskies! I’m currently working from home and can be with your pups as much as they need me to be! I usually will let them out 5-6 times a day to run in the yard. If they need anything else or prefer walks, I can offer them as well! I have a half acre fenced in backyard for your furry friend to run free (perfect for pets that do not have a fenced yard at home). I am set back far from any main roads and live on a farm surrounded by open land. I currently have three huskies that are all dog friendly but if your pup doesn’t really like to play or is older I have two half doors installed in my home to keep my pets separated from your pets if preferred. I also have two entrances to the fenced in yard so they do not have to interact. Dog crates readily available if necessary. My dogs are all up-to-date on vaccines and take monthly heartworm & flea/tick preventatives.

About: I’ve always had a special bond with animals, and my family often trusts me to care for their dogs. I look forward to making you and your pets happy too. I have a wonderful Standard Poodle named Stormi Bless. Caring for pets is my part-time job while I’m also pursuing a degree in Criminal Justice. I’m confident I can build a strong connection with your dog and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. When I look after my family’s dogs, I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. I’m always mindful of their needs, whether it’s time for a walk, a meal, or just some extra care. This is currently my part time job as I am in college as well. I currently take up criminal justice, but I am sure to connect with your dog and show them support. When taking care of my family pets I am sure to make sure their dogs get attention, love, and the play time they need. When a pet shows signs of needing a walk or it’s time for food I pay attention to it all.

About: Of course I love animals, but what matters more to me is noticing who your pet actually is. Are they the kind of dog who needs to sniff the same corner for five minutes before moving on? Are they a little shy at first and pretending not to care? Do they get excited easily and need someone calm around them? Are they a cat who wants company, but absolutely not too much company? I really enjoy figuring out those little things. I’m gentle, patient, and very respectful of each pet’s routine. I don’t believe in rushing them or treating every animal the same. Some pets need play and attention, some need slow walks and quiet reassurance, and some just need someone kind nearby so the house does not feel empty. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that still feels familiar to them. I’m also very careful with instructions. Feeding routines, medications, walk preferences, favorite toys, things that scare them, how they like to be greeted, whether they are allowed on the couch. I want to know all of it. I know these details are not “extra.” They are usually the things that make a pet feel secure. I’ll also send updates and photos, not just to say everything is fine, but so you can actually feel connected to them while you are away. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, may also help me sometimes, and you may see her in some of my photos. She has had pets since childhood and fostered animals for several years, so she is very used to different personalities, nervous pets, affectionate pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. She is calm, loving, and very responsible, and I trust her completely with animals. Between the two of us, your pet will be cared for by people who genuinely like being around animals, but who also understand that trust matters. I’ll treat your pet with warmth, patience, and care, and I’ll treat your home and instructions with respect. This year, much of my work is remote, which gives me real flexibility in my schedule. That means I’m able to spend unrushed, attentive time with pets, not just quick check-ins, but actual companionship, care, and presence. I can shape my day around walks, visits, feeding times, play, and quiet company, depending on what each pet needs. My childhood friend and roommate, Matin, who is included in the pictures, also helps me out with my Rover schedules. My home is my cat Lilo’s safe little kingdom, so I can’t host other pets here. But I’m very happy to come to your home, meet outside for walks, or figure out a setup that feels easy and comfortable for you and your pet.

About: Hi! I’m an EMT and lifelong animal lover who brings the same calm, responsible energy to pet sitting that I bring to my work. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable staying calm when things don’t go exactly as planned — your pup is in good hands with me! I’m also someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs, whether that means going for a walk, playing, exploring, or settling in for a good old-fashioned snuggle session. 🐾 I’m clean, respectful of your home, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship while you’re away. Basically: responsible enough to trust with your home, fun enough to keep your dog entertained, and always available for a good cuddle. ❤️🐶 I have other commitments which are flexible, this allows me to be thoughtful about the bookings I take on. I’m happy to work with your routine and your pet’s needs whenever my schedule allows. I value quality time over rushing from one visit to the next, so when I commit to caring for your pet, I want to make sure I can give them the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I truly believe that caring for someone’s home is an extension of caring for their pets. I treat every home I stay in with the same respect, care, and attention I would want someone to give my own. I’m naturally clean and tidy, and I take pride in leaving a space feeling just as comfortable and cared for as when I arrived. I’m respectful of personal belongings, mindful of house rules and routines, and always make sure things are secure and well looked after.

Very communicative by letting me know how the pets were through out each visit. And she makes sure she does everything exactly how we do it so it doesn’t mess up routine for them. Will definitely be booking with her in the future.

Mason was exceptional. She allowed me to book her literally last minute and said she could visit the pups without me home (emergency work trip). She was prompt and took great care of my pups, asking me any questions she had to best care for them. She sent me plenty of pics and the pups loved her!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Port Deposit

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Port Deposit is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $27 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 2,135 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Port Deposit. 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.

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 Port Deposit 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.

To find sitters in Port Deposit with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
