“Emily was extremely professional, attentive, and caring with my cats while she house sat for me over the weekend during my trip to Maine. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing all four of my cats were accounted for, fed, and cared for, and I really appreciated the check-in photos and updates throughout the weekend. She let me know when they had breakfast, when she was heading out for the night, and kept their routine consistent while I was away. Emily was kind, friendly, and wonderful with my animals. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter — she did an amazing job!”
“Liz was a phenomenal sitter. We loved her warmth and kindness. Our baby gravitated to her right away. Liz made us feel comfortable which allowed us to go away a feel extremely comfortable. She communicated throughout the entire time and ensured us that everything was going smoothly. We hope to work with Liz again!”
“Samantha stayed in our home with our two girls. She updated me everyday and was a very respectful house guest! Everything was tidy and just where we had left it. The girls were happy and I doubt they missed us at all 😂. I would definitely recommend Sam!”
“Anthony did an amazing job of caring for Zoe while we were away for several weeks. She got the attention, excercise and meds she needed, and he went above and beyond to make sure our pet and place were taken care of.”
“Katherine was amazing with my girls!! She was able to do a meet and greet before our booking and ever since was very responsive and kept me update all the time. At the time of her stay she was very respectful of our home, and took amazing care of my dogs. Definitely will book again!!”
“Abby is calm and Bailey is very comfortable with her. She gives him rest time and playtime, and he was sad when she left. He was very excited when she arrived and barked like crazy, but soon settled down. I’m very happy that I can leave the house knowing Bailey is in good hands with Abby.”
“Corinne was great with my three cats. Two of them are very affectionate and need a lot of love. The third is really shy. Cornnie spent a lot of time with the needy ones and had calm energy for the shy one. My shy cat actually ended up headbutting her by the end of the week and he has never done that with a sitter before! We will be booking with Cornnie again.”
“Yolanda did a fantastic job with my dog. He is 14 years old and has special needs. He has a seizure disorder ,chronic recurrent bladder infections, Liver disease and many other medical issues. Yolanda did a fantastic job keeping up with all of his pills and all of his walks!! She was very communicative with me and patient with the very very detailed instructions that I gave her for his care. I went away for almost 7 days which I am usually very uncomfortable doing but because of her regular communication with me. asking thoughtful questions and her close attention to detail, I felt completely at ease and was not worried for my dogs safety like I often am with some sitters. She is very reliable and has Integrity. You will be making a great choice by choosing Yolanda!!!!”
“Liz and Rich took amazing care of our recently adopted dog and our 2 cats. We came home to pets who were calm and happy and interactive - even our shy cat. To me, this is what it's all about, knowing your pets were well cared for and given lots of love. Will definitely use them again!”
“Conor was amazing!!! She was so responsive and kept in touch the entire weekend she watched our pups. They loved her and we were so thankful we found her to keep them while we were away!”
About: I’ve rescued many dogs in my life and I’ve had a lot of patience with all dog sizes from pit bulls to chihuahuas. I truly enjoy a pets company I’m back home between 1 and 4(latest) most days and have a lot of free time to take care of your pets needs and wants. I have done in home visits and take them for a walk at their necessary times as well as keeping them company and I have boarded dogs in my home making sure to keep their schedule intact and add a few more walks
“Madeline was absolutely phenomenal; super communicative, sent me updates of how things were going, and friendly. Most importantly, my dog was well taken care of and had a great time. Madeline truly went above and beyond in every way possible.”
“Rob was respectful, communicative, and provided daily photo updates of the dogs, which I really appreciated. I felt completely comfortable having him stay in our home, and it was clear my dogs were well cared for and happy. I would gladly trust him again in the future.”
“I'm so glad that Majdoline was able to watch my dog and house-sit over the weekend. She was very quick to respond to any messages and gave several updates throughout the day with a ton of pictures, I never had to worry about a thing. She spent lots of time both giving my dog attention and letting her run around and play in the yard. She left everything in the house very neat and clean as well. I would absolutely ask her to pet-sit for me again!”
“Destinée was incredible with our kitties! Even our shy girl loved her right away. She was very kind and responsive and sent lots of photos. We will definitely be booking with her again soon. Definitely recommend!”
“We feel lucky to have found Erika to take care of our pups! She sent lots of great pictures and regular updates without us even having to ask. The house was in perfect condition when we got home, and the pups reported only good things! We'd be happy to have Erika watch Brie and Pod again in the future.”
“Claudia took such great care of our high energy dog! We knew our Pennie would want some company while we were away cause she is highly social. This is our first time having a sitter and we couldn’t have had a better person- she is now our Pennie’s best friend❤️ thank you for all the love and snuggles. Already planning our next trip and completely at ease with you staying with our sweet pups!”
“Yet again, Stephanie did a fantastic job with our two shiba inus. When we came home, I could see they were well taken care of and very content. She treated our dogs as if they were her own, and the many pictures and hilarious videos she sent us while we were gone showed just how happy they were spending time with her. I will absolutely continue booking Stephanie for all of our future getaways!”
“This was the second time Kayla cared for Bealey and she sends great pics and updates. She’s awesome and I will continue to ask for her when I need care for my Bealey girl.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jessup
Great sitter! Angelina and her partner watched our three pups and house sat for us over ten days. We received daily updates and she was very communicative about how the dogs were. She offered to water plants, take out trash, and even cleaned before we returned. Will hire again!
Lizbeth and Nahomy took great care of our cats, one of who needed daily medicine and an inhaler. They were open and communicative with lots of information and pictures. They took good care of the house and even cleaned up more than I was expecting! We would love to book with them again.
Johnny was great at communicating early and often. Made sure he met both our pets and came to the apartment beforehand to make sure everything was a good fit. He sent pictures and updates daily on our vacation and took very good care of our apartment. I definitely will book with Johnny again and would recommend him to anyone looking.
We "reserved" Ava for a trip we're taking in May. We had an opportunity for a "trial run" with her for the overnight stay Feb. 7-8. We had a meet and greet with her the weekend before our overnight. We were anxious to meet and get to know Ava. Not only were we leaving our precious Finn with someone we really didn't know, we were also leaving her in the care of our home. You know how there are people you meet for the first time and you just click? This is how we felt about Ava. From the moment she walked into our home for the meet and greet, it felt like we'd known her for quite a while--comfortable, friendly and easy going. Finn felt the same as he went right to her and was comfortable the whole time Ava was here. We left her with Finn and the house for the night, knowing both were in good hands. We were right. Finn greeted her at the door and didn't seem "sad" to see us go. We got texts from Ava and a picture to let us know all was well. When we got home, it didn't look like anyone had been here. She cared for our home as she cared for Finn. We look forward to having Ava return in May--and probably before that as well. She's wonderful!
Jaci did a great job house-sitting my old pup. He has a number of health issues, and she asked great questions about his care during our meet & greet. With her background in veterinary care, she was knowledgeable of his medications and I felt secure that he'd be in very capable hands.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jessup on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,896 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jessup. 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 Jessup 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 Jessup 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
