About: I have experience with dogs of all kinds, from hyper, high energy pups that need solid runs to sweet seniors who just want a calm companion. I work from home, so I’m around all day to give them the attention they need, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just hanging out. I am currently working full-time at home from 11 AM to 7:30 PM. I can take breaks at any point to care for your dog. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care they need. I work from home, so I can provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day.
“Brianna is the kitty whisperer! One of my cats is super shy and doesn’t always come out when sitters come but she came out on Brianna’s first day! Brianna was super communicative, asked a lot of great questions to ensure she handled my babies needs with care and took the best pics of them both. We will definitely use Brianna for our future needs❤️❤️”
About: All Dog and Cats are welcomed !! I’ve had a dog since I could remember. Every time I come across any other dogs they become so clingy and don’t leave my side. Dogs are an emotional support for me personally. I’m very gentle, caring , patient and a little too generous with treats I’m working full time as of right now. I Also will start early in the morning for feeding , play time and walks. I can also make the dogs as part of my weekly routine I have a large room for playing and zoomies. There is also nice parks around for walks. I don’t have a fence as of right now but it’ll be one soon
“Jason was great for my two pups! We hired him for 3 different stays and when we decided to stay longer on one trip he was able to help us out. My pups instantly liked him at our meet and greet. Jason was very caring and attentive to our dogs and took very good care of them. Will definitely will use him again in the future.!”
About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!
About: I genuinely treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m patient, intuitive, and focused on making animals feel safe, loved, and relaxed; whether it’s their first visit or their fifth. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including playful puppies with lots of energy and senior pets who need extra time, attention, and gentle handling. I’m great at picking up on a pet’s needs and adapting my care to match their personality. Whether they’re anxious, shy, energetic, or need medication, I’m calm, consistent, and always focused on their comfort. I also love sending photo updates to give pet parents peace of mind and a smile while they’re away. My goal is simple: give your pet the same love and care you would. I work from home full time, which gives me a super flexible schedule and allows me to be fully present for the pets I care for. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding routine, going out for regular walks, or just offering comfort and companionship throughout the day, I’m able to give each pet consistent attention without distractions. Because I’m home most of the day, pets aren’t left alone for long periods, and I can easily adjust to their specific needs—whether that’s frequent potty breaks, medication schedules, or just extra playtime and love. Pet care naturally fits into my daily rhythm and brings joy and balance to my work-from-home lifestyle. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment with space to play, rest, and be themselves. I stick to their routines—whether that’s feeding times, walks, or medication—and provide lots of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day since I work from home. Pets are never left alone for long, and I always keep the space clean and stress-free. When I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and routines. I make sure your pet is cared for exactly the way you want—whether it’s sticking to a daily schedule, managing special needs, or simply keeping them company. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. In both cases, your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priority!
“JMark, is awesome!! I'm so glad I chose him. My Rottie Rome has really warmed up to him and looks forward to seeing him. They've quickly formed a bond and do well together. He keeps me updated on any developments concerning Rome, and we are pleased with his service. I hope he's apart of the family for a long while.”
“I felt so comfortable with Lanae watching our two cats. I appreciated the many photos and details about how they were doing. She was caring and thorough. I would definitely book again.”
About: I've taken care of my first dog when I was 11 years old. I now have two dogs of my own. I also volunteer at the humane society as a hobby. I understand the hassle and income. Do not worry! I am here to provide my very best. I do not have ANY experience with cats. I work full time to make sure my dogs get what they need. I can do dog walking and drop-in visits during weekdays. I do not rush. I do not provide boarding. *When booking a service, please let me know before the available date. I will have no choice to decline the request.* I walk them twice a day, tummy rubs help a lot, brushing teeth, grooming, cleaning, buying them toys, closely monitoring, providing blankets, and healthy food.
“Thank you so much for looking after my dog. This is the first week, and he had a rough week, but it seems like he has adjusted to you well! We will continue this relationship!”

I’m the owner of Peaceful Paws with Finesse, offering calm, in-home dog boarding and sitting in Jonesboro. I specialize in providing a low-stress, peaceful environment that’s ideal for dogs who do best in a quiet home setting rather than busy kennels or high-energy daycares. 🐾 Limited-capacity care 🐾 Personalized attention 🐾 Clean, safe, and calm environment I’m attentive, communicative, and intentional about each booking to ensure every dog feels comfortable, secure, and well-cared for. Updates and photos are provided so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. If your dog thrives in a relaxed, home-style setting, Peaceful Paws with Finesse may be the perfect fit. I currently work full time. However, I work from home 3 days a week and I am in office 2 days a week. Dogs get lots of attention. I have a large unfenced yard with two friendly dogs to keep yours company. I take dogs out on leashes for walks and can crate dogs if needed.
About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I love dogs, cats, and everything in between. I have plenty of experience and love to give! I trained my animals at a young age and I am extremely attentive to all animals. I have a set work schedule so I can reliably care your pets during the work week. I’m off on weekends so I’m available for onboarding as well. I have a huge yard for dogs to run around and a large neighborhood to walk the dogs as well. I have enough space in my home to dog sit and cat sit. I also have a lot of space for cats to roam around.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.
About: Since I was a child, I've had a strong affinity for animals and have always adored fur pets. I've been caring for animals since I was ten years old. I've worked with senior dogs for four years. Neighbors and friends have entrusted me with keeping an eye on, walking, bathing, and feeding their pets. I also kept an eye on chickens. I figured rover would be a great way for me to interact with a variety of furry friends. I can work full time on weekends and part time and weekdays because I’m still in school. But I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, and drop ins on weekdays. I don't keep pets in cages because I don't want them to feel confined. I do accept pets on furniture, but if you want your pet to be crated I will allow it. I also have a very large yard for your pet to run about in.

Grace is the best with my puppy major. She always arrives on time. She follows the instructions that I leave , she talks to me about my puppy’s experiences while I’m gone. I trust her to come in and out of my home when I’m not there. I can tell that she really loves him. I would recommend Grace to anybody!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
