“Kathleen was wonderful with our chocolate Lab. She walked him to the mailbox every day and was incredibly dependable. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 10 years old. I have taken dogs for walks, overnight care, administer medication, follow feeding times and making sure that the fur babies are well taken care of. I have a flexible schedule. I can spend most of my time taking care of your dogs. I am available Monday evenings through Sunday nights. I make sure to read over the guidelines from my clients and how they prefer their dogs to be cared for. Let me know if their special care needed.
About: I have taken care of animals since i was 13. Friends, Families and they have always relied on me too take care of their animals. I’m a college student, so my schedule mostly revolves around my classes. I have class Monday from 9–1, Tuesday from 8–12, Wednesday from 9–4, Thursday until 9:15, and Friday from 9–1. Outside of those times I’m available to care for pets, and I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I always make sure pets stick to their normal routine so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. i am also available on the weekends unless i have plans !! I live on campus but i can walk your doggies around the black warrior river that’s right down the road from where i currently stay
“Moira is the best sitter for my baby Kovu. I wouldn’t have anyone else look after my baby except for her! She is very communicative & so knowledgeable. She has truly been a blessing to our lives.”
About: As a proud dog mom to my own 1-year-old fur baby, I completely understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet while you’re away. Our pets are truly part of the family, and I know how much peace of mind it brings to know they are with someone who will give them plenty of love, attention, and care. I absolutely love dogs and genuinely enjoy getting to know their different personalities! One of my biggest strengths is patience. Having a young dog of my own has definitely taught me that every pup has their own personality, habits, energy level, and way of communicating. I’m comfortable with younger dogs who may need a little extra patience, frequent potty breaks, playtime, redirection, or consistency with their normal routine. I believe in creating a comfortable and positive environment where dogs can relax, have fun, and feel at home. I also work from home full-time and am a student, so I spend a lot of time at home throughout the day. This gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and, of course, lots of cuddles and belly rubs! Your pup won’t simply be left alone for long periods while staying with me. I know every pet parent has their own preferences and every dog has their own routine, so I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, sleeping arrangements, favorite toys, treats, or other routines that help your fur baby feel comfortable. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same patience, love, and care that I give my own. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your fur baby is safe, comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine! I work from home full-time and am also a student, so I spend the majority of my day at home. This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your fur baby with attention throughout the day rather than having them home alone for long periods of time. Since I have a 1-year-old pup of my own, my daily routine already includes regular potty breaks, feeding times, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. Adding another furry friend into our routine is something I can easily accommodate and would genuinely enjoy! Because I’m home throughout the day, I can also be flexible with each pet’s individual schedule. Whether your pup needs more frequent potty breaks, scheduled meals, extra playtime, walks, or simply wants someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to follow the routine they’re most comfortable with. My goal is to make their stay feel as close to home as possible while keeping their normal routine consistent and making sure they get plenty of cuddles along the way! 🐾❤️ Your fur baby’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their baby will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. In my home, I provide a comfortable and loving environment where pets can relax and feel like part of the family. Since I work from home full-time, I’m able to keep a close eye on the pets in my care, provide frequent potty breaks, and make sure they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have a friendly 1-year-old fur baby of my own, so I understand the importance of proper introductions, supervision, and allowing each dog the time and space they need to become comfortable. I know that every dog is different, so I always want to learn about your pup’s personality, routine, boundaries, likes, dislikes, and any special instructions before their stay. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding schedule, walking routine, sleeping preferences, and house rules to help make the transition as easy and stress-free as possible. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I will treat both your fur baby and your home with care and respect. I’ll follow all instructions closely and do my best to maintain the routine your pet already knows and loves. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind while you’re away. Communication is important to me, and I’m happy to provide updates and plenty of cute pictures so you can see that your fur baby is safe, comfortable, and enjoying their time with me!

“Miss Nancy is so sweet. She was able to help me out in a pinch. She came by for a drop-in visit and spent some time with my pups. They got fed and let out to stretch their little legs while I was away at work. I would definitely use her again in the future and I totally recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and dependable person to care for their animals!!!”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats in a professional boarding and daycare environment.

My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away! I currently work part time, which gives me extra flexibility in my daily schedule to dedicate time to caring for pets. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and companionship. I have the flexibility to work around each pet’s individual needs and make sure they aren’t left feeling lonely or overlooked. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so being able to make pet care a regular part of my day is something I look forward to! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make it my priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining their normal routines as much as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, provide fresh water, make time for walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of affection. I also pay close attention to each pet’s personality, behavior, and individual needs so I can give them the best care possible. I understand that every pet is different, and I want both pets and their owners to feel comfortable and at ease. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always strive to make them feel loved and right at home!

About: Something that was sent me apart from other sitters that I’m very versatile. I love the pets that just chill but I also love the ones that want to get up and play. I’m down for both. Hey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jackson is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $28 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 November 2026, there are 778 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jackson. 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 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 with handling special pet needs in Jackson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
