“Aaron did a great job. Helped me out last minute which was appreciated. Was able to operate well without a meet and greet, so he's obviously skilled with dogs. He made sure our outside cat was feed and communicated very well for the duration of his support.”
“She was great, reliable and was very flexible and went beyond what I asked her to do as we got a new pet parrot thrown in with our two cats. I would definitely book her again!”

About: Hi! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for all kinds of pets over the years. Growing up, my family always had dogs, so I learned early on how to handle everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who needed a little extra attention. As an adult, I’ve personally owned small caged pets and currently own 2 cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different animal personalities and care needs. I currently share my home with two adopted cats, each with their own unique story and background. With patience and care, I was able to successfully introduce them to each other despite their age difference and differing temperaments—it was so rewarding and relieving to see them become friends! I understand that every pet is unique and deserves compassionate, individualized care, and I treat every animal I meet like one of my own. I currently work a full time job with the military during the week, but am home early in the afternoon to provide care, comfort, and cuddles to my furry friends and yours! I have a spacious apartment with lots of toys and 2 friendly cats to keep tour furry friend company. Walking around my neighborhood is a breeze with pet pickup spots along the way and a safe environment for walks no matter what time.
About: Whether you're looking for someone to help get that daily exercise in, to assist in taking them out for their potty breaks, or just be around to provide the socialization and care that your pup craves, I would love to provide that time to tend to your pup's needs. I have years of experience with many different breeds, and have assisted with leash training and behavioral training. As a fellow person with three pups and a cat (Shelties, named Moose, Eevee, Zora, and Zuko (cat) ) of my own, I understand how important it is to invest trust with someone for personable care over your companion. I can ensure your pup is my top priority for you and your family. Let me provide the peace of mind that you deserve, and schedule all of your pups service needs today. I work near home and my wife works from home. Your pets will always be cared for and we have years of experience with pets. Our property is in a great area and we have the space to accommodate. We live in a quiet neighborhood with helpful neighbors and great dog parks nearby.
“Cannot say enough good things about Laurie and Jim. They treat our dogs as if they were their own. When we come back home we can tell our dogs have been loved and cared for extremely well”
“Taresse did an excellent job with my cat! I was intially nervous since I’ve never used Rover before, but I was really relieved with Taresse’s care. She really did take the time to not only feed and medicate my cat, but also took time to cuddle with her, and also left the apartment cleaner than when we left it. She also took great pictures of my cat every visit!”
“Sabine did a fantastic job with our cats while we were away. She took good pictures and kept in close contact with me throughout her visits. The cats were happy when we returned. Thank you!”
About: I have cared for and trained dogs of all different types, sizes, and personalities. When I moved out on my own, I got two cats and have had them both for four-five years. I understand how important pets are to the families they’re belong to as I have never gone without having one in my life. I’m a stay at home military wife with a baby on the way. I have a flexible schedule as I am looking for something to do part time. Although I wouldn’t be able to pet sit at my own home I am more than willing to sit at your home where the animals are most comfortable as well as taking them out to parks/outs.
“Tiera watched my dog Duke for several days and she did an amazing job, she is extremely dependable. She took pictures of my dog. Sent them to me and most importantly she fell all the instructions to a T. I will definitely be using her again and I definitely recommend her for anyone needing a dog sitter.”
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.
“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!!”
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: Over the years I've helped friends, family members, and neighbors with cat & dog care, ranging from walks to playtime and feeding. I am comfortable with reinforcing good behavior and obedience training. I work remotely most days, so I'm able to arrange regular times to care for pets, whether it's a mid-day walk, feeding breakfast or dinner, or administering medications before bedtime. I make sure all pet-accessible areas remain safe and clean. I do regular checks for hazardous items and clean up any accidents. If any toys or bedding become damaged to the point that they could cause harm to a pet, I secure them away from the pet and notify the owner.
About: Hi! I’m Michi and I’m 26 years old. I’m an experienced pet owner with six cats of my own, so caring for pets is already a huge part of my everyday life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’m happy to adapt to whatever helps them feel safest and happiest while you’re away. I also have experience taking care of dogs, guinea pigs, turtles, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, sugar gliders and more. I absolutely adore all pets and I can guarantee that I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I can walk dogs and can watch your pet at your home.

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.

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 $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $34 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 15,312 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 .
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.

- 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 .
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.
