“I’m grateful to have returned home to happy and healthy cats, which I truly appreciate. It’s clear they were well cared for in my absence. That said, I did notice an excessive amount of food left in their trays, which suggests my written instructions may not have been entirely clear or closely followed. Next time, I would definitely provide a step-by-step walkthrough of their feeding routine to ensure everything is as straightforward as possible. Overall, I’m thankful for the peace of mind while I was away.”
About: Hi! I’m a passionate animal lover with hands-on experience working in veterinary hospitals and doggy daycare settings. I’ve learned how to safely handle dogs and cats with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also have a strong interest in pet nutrition and overall wellness, which helps me pay attention to the little details that keep pets healthy and happy. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, keeping up with routines, or just spending time giving them attention and comfort, I always treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet! I'm a full-time college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I can do same day walks/sittings, and I love to take care of animals whenever I can! I treat every animal like they are my own. This is something that is super important to me - treat every animal how you want to be treated, or how you'd treat your own!
About: I’ve been taking care of my two rescued dogs that me and my family rescued 12 years ago. I also have experience petting my friends dogs, cats, and chickens! I am currently unemployed and trying to make pocket money and save for travel so i will use all my time looking out for your fluffy children. I offer drop in visits and walks. I will personally make sure your pet is fed, played with, walked, loved, happy, and well cared for.
About: Hi! My name is Julia, and I have loved animals for as long as I can remember. I have owned both dogs and cats since I was a child, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. I have several years of experience with dog sitting and house sitting, and I understand how important it is to know your pets and home are in caring, trustworthy hands. I love all pets and enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion nearby, I will make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you are away. I am dependable, attentive, and respectful of each family’s home and pet care preferences. I would be happy to care for your furry family member and give them the same love and attention I would give my own pets! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m used to planning my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe. I enjoy having pets as part of my routine, whether that means starting the day with a walk, stopping by for a midday visit, or spending quiet time with a cat who just wants company nearby. I’m dependable and flexible, and I understand that pets do best when their normal schedule is followed as closely as possible. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs, whether they need extra attention, medication reminders, playtime, or just someone calm and caring to keep them company while their family is away. I care for pets with patience, respect, and attention to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, medications or special needs, favorite toys, and any house rules. I know pets feel safest when things stay familiar, so I do my best to keep their routine calm and consistent while their family is away. I also treat every home with care and respect. I make sure doors are locked, food and water are refreshed, litter boxes or pet areas are kept clean, and pets are safe before I leave. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, comfort level, and personality, whether they are playful, shy, energetic, independent, or need a little extra reassurance. My goal is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and for owners to feel confident knowing their pets and home are in trustworthy hands.
“Cassie was the absolute best! She was so attentive and responsive, and gave great care to our two cats! She also sent great updates and pictures, would highly recommend her to pet sit!”
About: I have grown up with pets my entire life! Not just cats and dogs. I have experience in boarding, doggy daycare, drop ins and some grooming experience. I love animals with all my heart just like I love my children!!! I lost my 4 year old dachshund to IVDD(Intervertebral disc disease in 2023) so I have learned to work with dogs who have become paralyzed. I can express bladders, and distribute medication. Possibly certain therapy, per your instructions as well. I looked forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!!! I have a part time job and children. I tend to be more flexible first thing in the morning before 9am and after 4pm. During the week days, I can be flexible if you let me know what time you need me though! If left instructions, I follow direct care instructions for that particular animal. As for my 2 dogs, they are crate trained, trained to walk without lead and pretty much have all the freedom to do as they please with certain circumstances as if I need to leave my home, they sometimes get crated.
About: I’ve had dogs of every kind growing up! Also as a military brat I’ve taken care of dogs in all types of situations and places. Whatever you and your dog needs to feel safe and comfortable I will do! I’m currently out for the summer from college, so I figured pet care would be a great thing for me to do while I’m here! I take my dog for walks, feed him, and play with him everyday! I’ll do whatever you need me to do for your pets, in your house!
About: I have been caring for dogs of all ages my entire life. I like to focus on making sure your dogs are comfortable when you are away. It can be a hard adjustment for both pet and owner to be separated, but I’m here to make everything easier! I’m currently working part time and am working on an online degree, so I will have a lot of time to spend with your pet! I have a large fenced in yard and a large home for the dogs to play and roam. Dogs are family in my house and are allowed on couches and beds. Water is always out in the open and access to the yard is freely given (unless otherwise specified). I try to play with the dogs and give each and every one special attention.
“Erin is awesome! She was able to accommodate us with super late notice! She dropped in, took our dogs out, fed them etc. The dogs loved her and she sent me pictures from each drop in! We will definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve have always had a dog & cats since I was a child. I love all pet cuddles! And meeting new friends. I have one dog and two cats at the moment. I've dog sat for my friends and coworkers when they need someone to be with their babies for nights away or random drop ins to check on them. I'm looking for a fun way to make extra money and i couldn't think of anything better then spending time with dogs & cats while doing that. I work four days a week but it’s flexible! I’m available everyday after 2pm and if I have a good enough heads up I’m available 24/7 I can give you references of people I have house/pet sat for in the past. I’m comfortable crating your pet if needed. I’m easily available on my cell phone when I am pet sitting. And I can send updates whenever you would like.
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats, birds since I was 9.

I also can board over the week and weekend if needed We go for walks, play a little outside depending on the weather. I bathe if requested and I also can create if you would like
“Love the photos! This was our first time using anyone for a pop in visit. This was totally last minute! Asked Paul and his fiance last night at 7pm to please help us, and without hesitation they came right over and met our boys. They did a pop in visit today and they were wonderful!!! Will definitely use them again :) They were great!!!! Thank you both so much !”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for about 10 years now. Whether it was a neighbor, family friend, or anyone who reached out for assistance, I love being able to help them out by taking away the stress of finding someone to watch their beloved animal. I’ve also been volunteering at the Williamson County Animal Shelter! I always make sure to do everything asked of me above and beyond while taking care of another’s pet just as if they were my own. While I love taking care of other’s animals, I also have 2 of my own that I love deeply!! Their names are Dakota and Kristof! Because I would want to be able to have a strong reliability on someone while watching my dogs, I will without a doubt make sure you can rely on me to do the same for your animals! I will be as flexible as possible working with your schedule with communication. I have school and work a part time job, but I’m still available early mornings, most of the afternoon, and weekends. As long as you communicate with me, I will try my absolute best to work with my schedule for you. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your animal company. I will make sure to keep an eye on your animal wherever we are to make sure they are the safest they can be!
About: What sets me apart is 15+ years of pet care experience, expertise with senior and special-needs pets, and a personalized approach to every animal’s unique needs. With my flexible schedule, I can structure my schedule around visits, walks, or check-ins, making it easy to balance with other commitments. My experience with pets ensures that providing attentive, loving care feels natural and enjoyable, whether it’s a quick visit or an extended stay. With me as your sitter, your pet will be safe and comfortable in my home. With over 15 years of experience, I provide a pet-friendly, secure environment, free of hazards, where your pet will receive personalized care and attention. I ensure all pets feel at ease by maintaining their routines, offering cozy spaces, and supervising interactions with my own animals. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
About: I'm located off interstate 95 making me an easy stop to drop off and pick up your pet. I currently do not have any pets of my own. I've volunteered at a number humane societies and for the general public. I have boarded a number of different spieces of furbabies and house sat for mostly friends and family for 11 years now. I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation through a course and volunteer work. If you have small animals that need baby sitting my home is open to them and I have experience with a variety of small animals. I fit every animals needs and put them into my regular routine. I believe in schedules it makes life easier for myself and the animal I'm caring for. I have a large chain link fenced yard that your pets will enjoy. I prefer to give animals enough activity so that it helps with their health.
About: I stand out because of my lifelong experience growing up with animals of all kinds, including horses, cats, rabbits, and hamsters. I also worked at a pet hotel, where I cared for puppies and anxious dogs who missed their families, so I understand how to keep pets calm, comfortable, and happy. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments and needs. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, giving me even more hands-on experience with a wide range of animals. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily schedule because I’m currently taking a year off before starting grad school. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care. I’m available Monday through Sunday, and can accommodate visits throughout the day to fit your pet’s needs. I provide care through in-home visits, as I do not host pets in my own home due to my cat not being comfortable around new animals. In my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping pets in their familiar environment and routine to reduce stress. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, and any needed exercise. I’m also very attentive to their behavior and comfort, especially for shy or anxious pets, and always make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Port Deposit stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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 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.
