“Kanija was very prompt in her reply and spot on with arrival time. My three dogs were very receptive to her and the attention she gave them. I would most definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and would use again if needed.”
About: I love taking care of animals. At the moment I can’t work a normal job and I’ve always been very fond of animals. If you decide to book I’ll make sure they have a pleasant experience. It’s a guarantee. I’m currently available at any time. Weekdays can vary so just make sure to give me a notice beforehand. I work from home so i can care for them with no problems! Pets at my home are guaranteed to be inside. Pets at clients home will vary depending on how the client wants it. I make sure the area is always clean for their safety. I also have a safety camera in the room they stay in, so even when I'm not home i can still keep an eye on them.
About: I have experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pet. I’m patient, loving, responsible, and will treat every pet like they’re my own. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also follow all instructions carefully and keep you updated with pictures and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is receiving plenty of love and attention. Pet care fits well into my daily routine because my schedule is flexible. I have time throughout the week for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and giving pets the attention they need. I carefully follow every pet owner’s instructions and respect their home and routine. I provide fresh food and water, safe walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I also send regular pictures and updates so owners know their pets are safe and comfortable.
“Jhada is AMAZING!!! She loved on my little munchkin very well was very attentive and communicative when there was any concern. I’m so glad I was able to travel for work without having to stress. Jhada thank you so much.”
“This was my first time having a pet sitter and Heather made the process so seamless. She provided constant updates and photos of my fur babies. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and will definitely be working with Heather in the future!”
“Catecha is the best. She was prompt, courteous and showed so much love to our Gracie. She updated us frequently on what was happening and gave Gracie plenty of love and attention. We will definitely use her services again in the future 😀!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of hands-on experience, patience, and genuine love for animals. I’m comfortable working with dogs and cats of all ages, and I have specific experience with both puppy training and senior pet care. I am Currently Working from home so I am readily available! I also Have pets of my own so I am used to taking care of my animals and my adopted babies( your pets) on a routine schedule! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their pet’s routine consistent. I follow all instructions exactly—feeding, medication, walking routes, crate or bedtime routines, and any training the pet is currently working on. I maintain a calm, respectful presence in the home, keep the environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and confident that their pets are safe and happy.
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my energetic 2-year-old dog, Aspen, previously raised a family dog from puppyhood through their senior years, and fostered to own two cats. I’m comfortable caring for both young, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in reliable and caring hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m currently on paternity leave until the fall, so I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. At home, my 2-year-old dog, Aspen, has a structured routine that includes daily walks, plenty of playtime, mental enrichment, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to her health and well-being by preparing nutritious homemade meals with quality ingredients, providing healthy treats, keeping her clean with oatmeal baths, and making sure she has safe, durable toys to keep her engaged. When caring for a client’s pet, I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication if needed, going on walks, playing fetch, providing companionship, or simply giving extra cuddles and reassurance, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own dog.
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t just watch dogs — I care for them. I’m very attentive to their routines, their energy, and what makes them feel safe. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning and gentle with senior dogs who need extra love and understanding. I treat every dog like family, making sure they feel comfortable, calm, and truly cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily routine. I plan my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they get consistent attention, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and rest. I’m home and present, so your pet isn’t left alone for long periods. Caring for dogs is something I intentionally make time for, not something I squeeze in. Safety, trust & environment How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer.
“Anna was a pleasant surprise after meeting with her. It was obvious she had been around animals all her life and was very familiar with their behavior. One of my cats took an immediate liking to her. The other cat, who is skittish and scared, warmed up to her in the four days I was away. Anna did not push and let her adapt on her own time. Both cats were calm and happy when I got home. Anna gave them her full attention and made sure they were spoiled and well cared for. Additionally, she took care of things in my home that I didn't expect, and I was very grateful. It is such a relief to have found someone that loves my cats like I do, is reliable, dependable and personable. So happy that I can travel without worrying about the care my babies receive. Thank you, Anna!”
“Angela was wonderful. She visited before the overnight to meet everyone, and they all reacted positively. I came home to a peaceful house with calm animals, everything was clean and neat, feeding areas were ready for the next meal. She contacted me when one of the gang had an accident, about my preferred method of dealing with it. She arrived promptly and started sending pictures and updates. We will be having her to house sit again.”
“Joalice provided excellent care for our senior large dog. She is responsible, kind and communicative. She also took care of our home. We highly recommend Joalice and hope we can see her again soon.”
About: I’ve spent 25 years caring for animals, and dogs have been by my side through all of it. I know that every dog is different, whether yours is a high-energy pup, a laid-back senior, or a nervous rescue still learning to trust. I offer walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of attention, and I’ll stick to your dog’s routine so they stay comfortable while you’re away. I’m confident giving medications, handling strong or reactive dogs with patience, and working with dogs who have separation anxiety. I pay close attention to body language, so I can spot signs of stress, illness, or discomfort early and let you know right away. Your dog’s safety comes first: secure leashes and gates, never leaving them unsupervised outside, and following your instructions to the letter. You’ll get daily updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy. I have a super flexible schedule! I work part time and can accommodate most days and times. Weekday and weekend availability! Most needs can be met! • I lock up every time I leave, and I never share your address, access codes, or travel plans. • I keep gates, doors, and windows secure so no one slips out, and I never leave pets unsupervised outside. • I keep your vet’s info and emergency contacts handy, and I’ll get your pet to care immediately if needed. • I follow medication and feeding instructions carefully and log them. Your home: • I leave everything clean and tidy, including litter boxes, food bowls, and any pet messes. • I stick to the areas you want pets and me in, and I’m happy to follow house rules. • With livestock and farm animals, I close gates and latches properly, check fencing and water, and keep feed secured.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. While I don’t have any, people around me trust me to look after theirs. I’ve always had cats and currently have 4 of my own. I have also had experience taking care of reptiles as well! It’s always nice to feel needed in an animals life and to give them the love they deserve. I do not currently have a job- so I am available when you need someone most! Just shoot me a message and I’ll reply asap! I make sure my own pets feel comfortable in their space and I’d make sure yours felt the same. Providing a comfortable environment for pets is essential to gain trust and respect from them.
“Kaila was a delight and Max was in good hands. She made sure to meet him the day before and get the information on how to get in and out of our house. All in all, the best experience.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson
We booked Brianna for a week long in-house stay with our two dogs and my parent's dog. Prior to her stay, Brianna came over to the house to meet the three boys and go over care instructions. The boys took to her immediately, even my parent's dog who is usually skittish at first. Brianna has a warm and caring personality that put the boys and ourselves at ease. She sent us pictures of the boys and provided updates throughout our trip. She was also the perfect houseguest treating our property and belongings with care and respect. She even went above and beyond spending time with our outdoor cat and making sure he was taken care of us well. We definitely recommend Brianna and will be booking with her again in the future!

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 Jackson 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 Jackson 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 Jackson 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jackson. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
