“I wish I had met Jenn a long time ago!! She is very attentive, communicates well and really cares for your pup! She is the best!!! She is definitely someone I would recommend and would keep hiring, always. Thank you Jenn!!”

About: With 5 years of experience in pet care, I have a deep love for all kinds of dogs. My passion for dogs started when I was just a baby, and it has only grown since then. Whether playful puppies or gentle seniors, I genuinely enjoy providing the care and attention each dog deserves. Im available Monday-Friday and Weekends occasionally. Whether it’s mornings or evenings we will find a schedule that works best for you and your dogs needs. I have an acre of fenced yard where your dogs can run around supervised and play with plenty of toys. I have 3 dogs that are friendly with all kinds of dogs but they can be caged if that makes you more comfortable. I have an extra create if your dog is create trained. They will be feed away from my other dogs just to be safe and if they are able would love to take them on a walk around the neighborhood.

About: My connection to animals is deeply personal, and my heart has been completely open to dogs my entire life. While I work professionally as a certified freelance book editor from home, my deepest personal passion is providing a safe, fiercely protective, and loving environment for animals. Over the last fifteen years, I have personally cared for our family pets throughout every stage of their lives—from the boundless energy of puppyhood to the tender, quiet care required during a senior pet’s final weeks. I am intimately familiar with precise feeding schedules, structured neighborhood walks, crate training, and maintaining strict house routines. For several years, I also provided regular weekday pet-sitting care for my sister’s dogs while she traveled for work, ensuring their comfort and stress-free security while she was away, always caring for them as if they were my own. Having recently walked through the profound grief of losing our beloved family dog this spring, I miss the quiet joy and daily companionship that animals bring into a home. As a highly sensitive, intuitive person, I tune into an animal’s unspoken emotional needs and comfort levels instantly. I treat every pet in my care with the exact same high attention to detail, physical safety boundaries, and deep devotion that I would give to my own family. Your pet will have my full, reliable companionship, a calm environment to rest in while I work at my desk, and a caregiver who honors their routine completely. As a full-time freelance book editor, I work entirely from home on a self-paced, flexible schedule. This means your pet's routine becomes the central anchor of my daily workflow. Because I am at my desk for long focus blocks throughout the day, I am physically present to provide reliable companionship, immediate potty breaks, and a highly stable environment. I integrate regular, structured walks and precise feeding times smoothly around my editing windows, ensuring your dog receives consistent attention, care, and stability without long stretches of being left alone. Safety and complete trust are the non-negotiable baselines of my care. When staying at a client's home, I respect their personal property with the utmost professionalism and follow their specific security guidelines to the letter. To minimize stress for your pet, I replicate their established feeding, sleeping, and crating routines exactly as they are used to. During outdoor neighborhood walks, I maintain absolute visual awareness; keep dogs on a secure, short leash at all times; and strictly avoid high-risk environments like public dog parks or interactions with unfamiliar animals. I focus entirely on structured, low-stress care that prioritizes your pet's physical security and emotional peace of mind above all else.

“Jennifer is the best sitter you can have. This was our first time using her while out of town. My dog requires meds and has severe anxiety and he was so calm and comfortable with her. She kept us updated daily with videos and pics which made us more relaxed. The puppers unexpectedly needed some stitches a few days before our trip and required some extra care and Jennifer was absolutely great about it and did all the extra needed things. We had pre visits due to his anxiety and she came to these and walked him. She walked him 2 times a day while we were gone and he loved it. My neighbors raved how great Jennifer is. I am afraid she will be booked the next time I need her because she is highly sought out. Not only did she take great care of my puppers she washed her bedding and remade the bed. She swept the floors and took out the trash. I really cannot say enough good things about her. We are so greatful we were able to find her.”

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs, as well as grew up with many kinds. Including pitbulls! I can work with any dog including small, medium, large breeds. Any age from puppy-senior is fine as well! I know how to train with basic commands like sit, eat, stay, and etc. I am looking for part-full time as I am currently in college with an early starting schedule but only 3 classes at the moment, please feel free to ask me about it. In home I will make sure the fur-babies are well taken care of! Walked if needed, lots of play time, dietary needs met, as well as environment kept clean. Training if requested!

About: I have had pets my entire life I have raised a cat to the age of 23 for entire life and have recently raised 2 beautiful baby boys from the the bottle. I have also had 4 or more dogs my entire life. Im always available all year around whenever you need me im there to take care of your wonderful pets only days I might not be available is if my own pets need something I have a fully enclosed yard and water available at all times I do have other pets but they are wonderful pets they love other pets
About: I have been pet sitting for years and I care for animals on the daily so it’s something I am very comfortable and serious about. I work full time but will always make time for a pet that needs some extra attention and loving when their loved ones are away. I am able to care for your pets before and after work everyday of the week. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets even pets with special medical needs. If they need to watched in the backyard or crated when no one is home I am comfortable with that as well.

“We were so happy to find Geneva. She is very experienced and took care of every detail while we were away. She provided timely updates and helped our dogs through a bad storm the first night. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing that our pups were well cared for.”
About: I've been taking care of cats since I was young and I've had several cats since age 6. As for dogs I never owned my own dog but there were always dogs in the family that I helped take care of along with dogs of my friends. Right now I am trying to find a job and I'm looking for fully remotes so my schedule is pretty open and I can do it pretty much all day. For in home or in your home I make sure that they're fed and they get plenty of water throughout the day so that generally means checking at least three or four times to make sure they have what they need. Then giving them plenty of stimulation so they're not bored and that's done through toys and chasing and just taking them out for fun adventures
“This was our first time to book through Rover. We are extremely pleased with Mikayla. She took great care of our dogs and the dogs love her. It makes it much easier to go on vacation knowing our babies are in good hands. Thank you Mikayla for taking such good care of our dogs. We look forward to working with you again.”

About: I have my own two dogs, a lab and a golden retriever who I love to take care of. I’ve handled feeding routines, daily walks, and playtime. I love giving dogs the fresh air, exercise, and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. I’m available for dog walks in the afternoon and evening, and I’m flexible with timing depending on your pup’s needs. Whether it’s a midday break or an evening stroll, I’m happy to help! I have my own dogs, so I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. I make sure mine get plenty of exercise, healthy meals, and lots of love every day.
“Kassandra was great! When initially meeting my pups, she took the time to ask questions and let them get to know her. While sitting, she sent some great photos of my much missed pups and was a great communicator! Definitely would recommend!!”

About: I've taken care of my family dogs on my own, as well as dog sitting my friends dogs. I know how important it is for dogs to get out and go on walks and also be watched so they don't eat anything funny. I have a full time job but can come home at lunch to hangout and let them out! They would be alone for about 4 hours at a time. I have a fenced in yard and will spend lots of time hanging out with your dog. If I am boarding your dog I will do my best makev your dog feel safe and at home.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for about 4-5 years. Dog-sitting and cat-sitting for my church family and friends, I really enjoy it. I also have a fur baby of my own. I love him so much, and he is so spoiled, like any animal should be! I’m not really busy other than running maybe a few errands. I will be able to stay and play with your fur baby’s most of the day and all night. I have a spacious backyard where they can run and play. I do have 1 dog, golden retriever- he’s super sweet and friendly. Although, I can easily crate your dog if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,492 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Annetta. 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 Annetta 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 Annetta 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 Annetta 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 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.
