About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including senior dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, and I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented, whether that means going on walks, providing playtime and enrichment, following feeding routines, or giving a senior dog a little extra attention. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training, practice good leash manners, and work on consistency with puppies. I treat every pet as an individual and want owners to feel confident knowing their pets are receiving thoughtful, reliable care while they’re away! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to plan my day around their needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, and companionship. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and don’t like leaving them alone for long periods. I’m happy to work with each owner’s preferred routine to help their pet feel comfortable and settled. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication if needed, exercise routines, and any special care requirements. I keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime, use secure leashes and harnesses, and make sure their environment is safe and comfortable. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, so I aim to provide regular updates and photos to keep owners informed. I also respect each pet’s boundaries and personality, allowing them time to adjust and feel comfortable. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.
“Jim and laurie always go above and beyond every day!! My active rambunctious dogs love them, and they're considerate of my house and children. They are both punctual, reliable, and just plain good people!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. Wherever there was a dog, that’s where I would be! I’ve had experience caring for newborn puppies to elderly dogs. I’ve cared for a litter of 6 puppies at a time and dog sat 5 energetic dogs. I am also pet first aid certified. I take caring for our furry friends very seriously! I am currently working part time and going to school 3 days a week, so I have plenty of time to take care of pups. I have a flexible schedule so I am open to walking and sitting during various hours of the day. I live in a town house with 1 adult, a dog, and two younger kids( A family of 4). My pup loves dogs and gets along tremendously well with other dogs. If have a variety of crates so if need be I would be able to separate the dogs. There are also multiple rooms in the house so is your pup isn’t a big fan of children they would be able to stay separate. As far as dog sitting in a clients home, any instructions that are given will be followed.
About: I have taken care of many different pets aside from growing up with mostly dogs. Other than my absolute love for animals, I am reliable and hard working. I am currently available at almost all times! If you need a sitter during the week or weekends, I’m here for ya! Will keep schedule updated and current as life events come up! I am willing to do most things that are asked of me and follow the instructions I’m given. In the case of more freedom, I will use critical thinking and good judgement to solve any problem there may be and to take great care of your pet.
About: While you are away, let your dogs enjoy a pupcation! My wife and I have been caring and training dogs for 10+ years. We have a fenced yard with a lake just beyond that. We currently have 2 friendly dogs who love to play. We can guarantee your dog will have an awesome time! We will train your dog as well if you would like. Dogs will get walked every day and plenty of play time. In this house hold, dogs are part of the family! Able to adapt and provide whatever care you require for your dog. I work 6am - 2pm and my wife works at a hospital over night. So there is always someone home to look after the dogs. If you want, we can take the dog out to the lake. We take ours out there all the time, it is shallow. But if you don't want them to, they don't need to. Our yard is fully fenced and cut off from the pond. Both my wife and I work, but she works night and I work days. So at all times we have someone home watching the pups. We treat your dog just like they were our own. We give them all the love, attention and care that they need. Your dog will gets plenty of play time, cuddles and care.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 11 years old! They’ve ranged from dogs to cats to turtles to birds and more! I’ve loved every second of it and I would be honored to care for you fur baby, too! I’m currently working remotely with great flexibility so I’m able to work around whatever you need! It gives me the ability to care for pets on your schedule! I love to learn what a typical day for your pet looks like so I can adapt to their needs! Some pets need playtime to keep them happy and engaged and some pets need a calm environment to relax in - wherever your pet falls, I’ll be ready to accommodate!
About: I've cared for friends' kittens, large dogs, anxious pets, and those that take medication. My own dog has high energy and requires LOTS of playtime, brain games, and of course love. I'm experienced with senior pets, and have volunteered at animal shelters. I work partime at nights, and have all day to play with your pet. From drop-ins to walking, or just a day to play I'm available weekdays 6am to 3pm. I have a fenced in backyard for me dog, and always bring water on walks. When doing drop-ins, I communicate bathroom breaks, unusual behaviors (refusal to eat), and ensure that all the pets have sufficient cool down time after playing.
“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: Dogs, cats, horses, pigs, I’ve taken care of them all. From the smallest of animals to the largest I have experience the mental aptitude to handle multiple animals. I have taken on rescue dogs, and cats for 3+ years, and been the go to person by friends and family for watching their pets for extended periods. For our boarding dogs I can provide free bathing, safe paw clipping (granted the dog allows it), minor grooming of small dogs, a safe and fun environment. I’m currently living with my boyfriend so the dogs will get double the loving. He is a full time work from home employee with the leisure of working on his own time and pace. I’m a freelance graphic designer with the ability put all my needs towards animals at a moments notice. With the purchase of our house, and our family living near by we hardly travel and can accept pets at a moments notice. Our house is barebones with not a lot to get into. With the addition of multiple pets we understand that some animals may get anxious. We have the ability to separate animals between areas of the house (upstairs and downstairs) while providing them plenty of room still, and walks done individually at the clients request. Our most unique feature is all walks can safely be performed on our own land and doesn’t need to be done in busy areas. We sit on 2.5 acres perfect for walking, and for the more adventurous dogs we have 20 acres just across the street. We require all dogs to be treated with a flea and tick medicine, if you think your dogs medicine will lapse while in our care feel free to leave it with us and we will get it applied. Fleas are an unfortunate common occurrence especially when you have a large amount of dogs come in for boarding, day care and more.
“Thank you for caring for our cats while we were traveling! You really made them feel happy, played with, and fed! We really appreciated you staying for the whole drop in visit and sending pictures as we were really missing them while we were away!!”

Jenny has cared for our 2 cats and crested gecko twice now. She always does a great job with all my detailed instructions and I love the pictures she sends. She plays with the cats, gives them treats, and even gets my shy kitty to come near and get pets. She's a great sitter and I would definitely book her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jessup is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 15,325 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jessup. 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jessup. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
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.
