Kelly was so wonderful with my dogs! I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care for the weekend. She was very communicative with me and gave updates & photos during her drop in visits. I would highly recommend Kelly to care for your pups!!

About: I’ve lived with cats, dogs, and other pets my entire life and have been pet-sitting for neighbors and friends since I was a kid. Huge animal lover and ready to take care of your pet like it’s my own. My work schedule is much less busy over the summer so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby while you’re busy or on vacation! I’m happy to take care of your pets in your home where they are most comfortable. At my home, I have a 3 year old husky to keep your dog company and entertained in our fenced yard. We also have a senior cat in the home.

About: I have always had dogs in my life, both big and small. Since high school, I have pet sat for friends, neighbors, and family. Last summer, I regularly cared for a French bulldog puppy, which gave me hands on experience with younger dogs. I would love and appreciate the opportunity to help care for your pets! I have recently graduated from Towson University with my bachelors in Environmental Science. I am also volunteering with Phoenix Wildlife center on Tuesdays while I search for a job! I have time during the week to fill and would love to drop in, walk, or board your pets! I live with my mom, sister, and stepdad but I am the primary care taker. We have a fully fenced in yard with plenty of love to give! I am also a reptile owner and keep a Plated lizard in a secure enclosure in my room, so I am comfortable with unique pets. When sitting in a client's home, I am highly respectful of your space, and my attention goes entirely to keeping your pet happy and safe. I would love and appreciate the opportunity to help care for your pets!

About: I’m a mental health therapist and lifelong animal lover, so I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pets. I grew up around animals—my mom ran her own professional pet sitting business, and I learned from her experience with the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters. I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—cats, dogs, reptiles, rodents, and more—and have been trusted with their care since I was a teen. I’m comfortable and experienced with medicating pets when needed, always following your instructions carefully. As a pet parent myself, with my cat Luna at home, I know how much your pets mean. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes—young or old, big or small—and treat every pet like part of my family. Because when your pet is happy, you are happy! I work part-time as a mental health therapist, which gives me a lot of flexibility and allows me to stay local. Pet care is a meaningful way for me to care for others while also taking care of myself, so I’m truly present and intentional in the time I spend with your pets. I love creating consistent routines whenever possible—it helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. That means plenty of attention, play, and cuddles (always on their terms), along with keeping up with their regular feeding and routines. I’m attentive to cleanliness and will always make sure any messes are taken care of promptly. I keep a close eye on their health and can provide medication support when needed, always following your instructions and your vet’s orders carefully. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and notes so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away. I’m also very open to discussing safety preferences and expectations to ensure the best experience for both you and your pets.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, patience, and genuine dedication to each animal’s well-being. I don’t just watch petsI take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for pets with a flexible schedule. I willing to adjust to meet the cat’s needs. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and cared for while they’re away. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is doing well.

About: When you choose me to care for your pet, you’re choosing a passionate and experienced pet lover who prioritizes not only your pet’s comfort and happiness, but also your peace of mind. I understand how important your furry family member is to you, and I strive to provide them with the same level of care, attention, and love they receive from you. While you’re away, you can rest assured that your pet is in safe, caring hands, with updates provided to ensure you remain connected to their well-being. I have experience caring for younger animals with energetic needs who require frequent playtime. I’ve also dedicated time to caring for senior pets, providing them with gentle exercise, extra comfort, and making any necessary dietary adjustments to support their health and comfort. Currently, I care for a 17-year-old cat who requires more delicate care. Additionally, my background includes working with anxious pets, where I’ve applied my professional clinical experience to soothe, calm, and build their confidence, helping them feel more secure in unfamiliar environments. I work from home and run my own business, so my availability can accommodate you and your pet’s needs. I’m flexible with scheduling and can provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. Whether your pet needs midday walks or frequent drop-in visits, I’m happy to help make things easier for you. I will offer whatever service and care is most similar to your pets current environment. If you would like them crated, I am able to accommodate. However, if you are more comfortable with your pet having more freedom within your home or my home, I am happy to provide that environment as well!

About: As a nurse, caring for others is at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of attention, patience, and responsibility to every pet in my care. I work only 2–4 days a week, and there is always an attentive family member at home, so your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and affection throughout the day. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including dogs and other animals, so caring for animals has been a lifelong passion. Those experiences taught me how to understand different pet personalities, needs, and routines from an early age. My family has a 7-year-old Cavapoo named Bentley, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of walking paths and open green spaces nearby, giving dogs lots of opportunities for exercise, exploration, and fresh air. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. My healthcare background has taught me to be observant, dependable, and detail-oriented, which is especially valuable when caring for senior dogs, following special routines, administering medications, or recognizing changes in behavior. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while ensuring their dogs feel happy, safe, and loved during their stay. 🐾❤️ Caring for fur babies naturally fits into my daily routine. As a nurse, I am flexible with plenty of time to dedicate to the pets in my care. On the days I am home, dogs receive regular walks, playtime, attention, potty breaks, cleaning cages, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are never left alone for long periods and continue to receive supervision, care, and interaction. My dog, Bentley is family, so daily walks, feeding schedules, exercise, and cuddle time are already built into my routine. I live in a walkable, dog-friendly neighborhood with nearby green spaces, making it easy to provide multiple walks and opportunities for exercise each day. I enjoy maintaining a consistent routine that helps pets feel comfortable, secure, and at home while their owners are away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or a calm, relaxed environment, I tailor their care to their individual needs. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where every dog is treated like family. Whether in my home or a client's home, I follow their regular routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I tailor my approach to each dog's temperament whether they are energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or prefer a calm and relaxed environment.

About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats. I have been trusted to care for my own animals as well as looking after neighbors, family, and friends' pets while they are away.

I am happy to walk, play, groom, and cuddle with your pet! Whatever they may need, I am willing to provide. I will spoil your pet as if they were my own.

About: I have many years of pet sitting experience. I've worked for a few pet sitting services around Baltimore. I volunteered at an animal shelter in Denver walking the dogs. I have always had pets of my own. I also have years of house sitting and child care experience. I am a very laid back person and your pet will feel at ease with me. I treat my pets as if they are little people. I talk to them and cuddle with them. I will treat your furry friends as if they were my own. I am mature, responsible and professional. I am available for daily visits or overnight stays. I can also board them at my place. I do not currently have any pets of my own. I work full time M-F in the office but have some flexibility to work from home. I will be sure to give your pet the attention required to make them happy. Upon taking on a new client, I make sure I am aware of any situations that may become an issue. I currently have a client whose dogs need to be separated during the day while they are alone. While I am at the house, I watch out for any signs between these dogs that there may be any problems with their behavior towards each other.

Patrick and Bahiya are absolutely amazing! We’ve used them several times for dog drop-ins and for watching our two dogs while we’re out of town, and they’ve become our first choice every single time we travel. They are dependable, caring, and treat our dogs like their own. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re taking care of our family while we’re away. We’ve always had a great experience with them, and they consistently go above and beyond to make sure our dogs are happy and well cared for. At this point, whenever we’re going out of town, Patrick and Bahiya are the first people we reach out to. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!

The last time my family and I went away we had to put our pets in a daycare and our dog got sick so our experience with putting them in a daycare was tainted. So this time around I chose Rover but I was very nervous about It however after speaking with Haylee I felt much better and confident that things would go well. She did just an amazing job and she sent reports every step of the way. I was so thankful that I was able to leave our pets home this time around and will do so moving forward. Highly appreciated Haylee and would definitely recommend!

Serena was amazing. She stopped by 3 times a day to take care of my 2 dogs and 3 cats. I even had one dog that needed to take some medication while we were gone and she had no problem doing that. She sent pictures of the animals every day and kept me updated about everything. We were worried about leaving the dogs alone for so long but I'm so happy we had Serena there to take care of them and love them.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Joppatowne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Joppatowne on Rover is $19.7 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 4,118 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Joppatowne. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Joppatowne 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 Joppatowne 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 .

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.

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 Joppatowne with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Joppatowne. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
