About: I may be new to Rover, but not new to dogs. I’ve cared for my own dog and regularly watched family members’ pups, so I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, and just making sure a dog feels safe and loved while their owner’s away. I have a full time day job which is why I chose 3 weekly nights to devote to caring for your dogs in your home I have a puppy who is potty trained and she regularly goes on walks with me. She is well cared for and completely spoiled rotten
“Maddie is great with our golden retriever. She is very reliable, on time, quickly answers inquiries and sends updates and pictures after each visit. And kind to bring in package delivery off porch. I highly recommend.”
“Beth took care of our 2 cats & home and she was simply awesome! She communicated with us throughout the process and always let us know what is happening. Beth sent us plenty of pictures and as-it-happened updates during her visits and never gave us any reasons to worry. We highly recommend Beth and would gladly work with her again. Five+ stars for this one!”
About: Hi, I'm Forrest! I' th dogs for most of my life ar a couple of Jarvis years of experien..ng and caring for cats, so I'm comfortable with both. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting for dogs up to medium size, plus drop-in care for cats. I know pets do best when their routine stays the same, so I'll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and litter or cleanup carefully. Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs a check-in with fresh food and water, or your pet just needs company while you're away, I'll treat them like my own - and send you updates and photos so you can relax while you're gone. I tend to prioritize my pet care before work, after work, and around bedtime. I make great effort in ensuring all pets are taken care 9f Currently I live with 3 cats and I assist with feeding, changing the litter boxes, and providing lots of cuddles. When I had dogs I loved playing with them and taking them out for walks. I treat every pet just like family
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover living in Severn with my two spoiled cats. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets while you're away. I have hands-on experience caring for cats and love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a companion nearby, I'm happy to provide attentive, loving care tailored to their needs. For cats, I understand the importance of respecting their routines, providing enrichment, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! My current work schedule has me in the office 7am - 3:30pm. I'm available Monday - Friday anytime after 4pm, and am available overnight. Saturdays, Sundays & holidays are flexible! I can easily keep your dog separate from my two cats if needed. There is a (unfenced) yard that backs into the woods. My house is tucked away in a lovely neighborhood with sidewalks, perfect to walk your pup.
About: An adult who has a big heart for all animals! I have owned pets since the age of twelve. 16+ years of experience working in pet care to include training, boarding/daycare, veterinary medicine, retail, dog-sitting, and dog-walking. Experience in caring for all sizes, rescues, puppies, and senior dogs. Experience with cats, small rodents, and birds too. Can administer oral and topical medications. Alert, observant, and attentive to a pet’s body language and will always try my best to make sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved whether it's feeding time, playtime, medication time, a cuddle session, or a walk. When I’m not at home or out and about with my pups and/or peers, I am a full-time Forensic Social Worker who works with incarcerated individuals. As of right now I have limited availability during the week. Weekends are more readily available but please do not hesitate to message me and ask about my availability if there is a date and time that is not reflected on my calendar. I accept gigs in MD, DC, and VA. I do not provide services out of my home. I travel to my clients’ homes for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. I ask clients to provide me with clear instructions that list their pets’ feeding schedules, walking schedules, medical needs, etc. and I will accommodate to the best of my ability. Efficiency and communication are key. Progress reports will be given daily.
“Robert had impeccable communication and was flexible with our schedule. We really appreciated the thorough updates and pictures from each drop-in visit. We would definitely use him again!”
“Haley was a fabulous sitter for our kitty! She was attentive to details, communicative, and loving of our little guy. We are for sure going to be using her for all of our future needs.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and I really enjoy spending time with them. I know every pet has a different personality, so I always try to respect their routine and what makes them comfortable. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, give them attention, or just keep them company if they’re more relaxed. I don’t like rushing walks, I like giving them time to sniff, explore, and enjoy being outside. I’m also a Nursing Assistant with First Aid experience, so I’m responsible, attentive, and used to following instructions carefully. I genuinely enjoy walking and spending time outside, so caring for pets fits naturally into my routine. I have the energy and patience for longer walks, but I’m also happy to slow down for older dogs or pets that prefer a calmer pace. I always adjust to the individual pet instead of expecting them to adjust to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I pay attention to their behavior, energy level, and comfort, especially when they are in a new situation or with someone new. I’m careful with doors, leashes, food, and anything that could affect their safety. I also respect your home and will always keep you updated while I’m caring for your pet.
“Our last cat sitter moved out of the state recently but we are SO glad to have found Yeji! She is so kind and sweet with our three cats, sent plenty of pictures while we were away, and went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you, Yeji! 🤍”

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Jessup is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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.

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 Jessup 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.

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.
