About: Hi my name is Jill, I have over 15 years experience with all types of dogs big and small. I recently lost three of my dogs to old age and am looking into a way to get back to what I love. I have a large fenced in back yard for the pups to explore as well as clean spacious home for them to relax. I love to send updates and pictures throughout the stay so you can see how your loved one is doing. I am available during the stay 24/7 and your pet is usually attended to 24/7 unless discussed. The best peace of mind is knowing your pup is safe and happy while you are gone and I can do that for you! Ask about 20$ off for your first Rover Stay! *note: my calendar may not always be up to date as I also take non- Rover clients, so the sooner you can let me know about dates the better!

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience raising and caring for dogs at all stages of life. Both of my dogs have successfully completed three levels of obedience training, with me as their handler, so I understand how to reinforce good behavior and structure. I bring patience, consistency, and plenty of love to every walk, play session, or stay, making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work full-time as a teacher, which means I have summers off and weekday availability after 3 PM. Walking and staying active are part of my daily routine, and I’ve found those habits are even more enjoyable with furry companions by my side. Pets fit naturally into my life, and I love making their walks and playtime a highlight of the day. Whether in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family. I follow their routines for feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I keep their environment safe, clean, and comfortable, and adjust my care to each pet’s personality and needs

About: I have had a variety of different pets throughout my life. I like to get to know your pets personality so I can better care for him or her. Each and every animal is unique in their own way! I work an 8-5 full-time job but I need something to do that is out of office after work. Being active with your pet will benefit me and them. Playtime and talking to your pets are essential to their happiness it makes them feel secure when they get the attention that they need. Potty breaks as often as needed and lots of exercise!

About: I’ve owned multiple dogs my whole life, from our current German Shepherd and Siberian Husky to the two pugs we adopted when I was in high school to the lovey dog we found as a kid that we named Scooby-Doo because he looked just like him. I’ve helped care for all of them from walks around the block to feeding time to going outside just for potty and play time. I’ve also helped out a few friends with their dogs since high school while they were away. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a decently open schedule after my kids go to school in the morning and once my husband gets home from work during the week and am available during all hours of the weekend. If you are comfortable with your pets coming to my house I have two very friendly dogs who love play dates if your fur babies play well with others and a big back yard and a fenced in side yard for plenty of running around room or games of fetch. If I’m watching your dog(s) at your home I will follow whatever schedule you have for them on top of making time for play, walks and love so that they don’t feel neglected in any way while you are away. I also am more than comfortable with giving them baths if need be.

About: Hi there, I’m Brittany. Animals make me happy. When I see a pet, I see a child. They are a member of the family. They have the sweetest souls and biggest hearts and I wouldn’t treat them any other way. I have one dog and I was raised with 3 dogs and 2 cats. I have always been an animal lover and I always will be. Every day I take my dog on at least one walk and many times I walk him multiple times per day. I treat my fur babies like family and how I would want to be treated. I am not only here to help you during your busy schedule but to become a friend to you and your fur baby. To house sit during longer durations, I can travel to anywhere. I would need to bring my golden retriever with me if your pets like to socialize and make new friends, he loves other dogs and gets along with them great, he is very social and has been to many dog parks and households with pets, if not I may be able to find someone to take care of him for me during that time. For drop in visits, I can assist on my own or bring my dog for some company. I am also available on certain days for doggy day care and boarding. When I have a dog stay with me I treat that dog like my own and it would have an amazing friend to play with. Pets are allowed on furniture, I have treats, toys, tons of dog beds, and a fenced in yard. I will also take your dog out on walks and play fetch or tug to burn energy. If you choose to book me, thank you for trusting me and I won’t disappoint you! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to help accommodate what you need help with, whether that is daily or weekly. I am always picking up new work bookings. I have booked a lot off of rover so I have additional referrals if you would like them! I will treat your animals and home as if it were my own, with love, trust, and respect. I have helped out for many years taking care of people's pets and homes. I have many references.

About: I have always had cats and dogs. As an adult, I have adopted multiple senior dogs and let them live out their last months and years in a calm, loving home. At gatherings, I’m the person who can usually be found holding the host’s cat or playing with their dog. I love everything about caring for pets and thought this would be a great thing to do in my spare time. As a teacher, I have a nice regular schedule that allows me to be available on weekends as well as all summer long. Evening care is also considered depending on the need! I can carefully and respectfully enter your home and care for your pets. Whether they need a meal, a potty break, a snuggle, or a walk; whatever you request, I can deliver. I understand the importance of being extremely careful not to let a pet get loose as this is something I worry about when I travel. I always enter and exit the home carefully. Your fur baby is the most important thing to me.

About: I have had pets all of my life and have taken care of them since I was 8. I love being outside and spending time with animals. I have lots of energy and previous experience with drop in visits! I am a full time online college student at baker college, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets! I have a reliable vehicle that allows me to check in on your pets when needed. I keep things simple, I follow your pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I stick to your instructions, keep the space clean, and treat your pet like they’re my own. I send updates so you always know they’re doing well!

About: I’ve been around all sizes of dogs since I was born and I only want to give them the very best lives possible. I’ve been training my golden doodle/great pyrenees mix (Oakley) as a therapy dog since I’ve had him but he was recently severely injured, paralyzing the back half of his body, so I did passive range of motion, took him on walks with a harness on the back of his body, stimulated his paw nerves, stretched him out, manually expressed him, and tried my best to give him all the love I could until he eventually was able to walk again. About a month of this and he can now walk and function normally (with a wobble and some additional clumsiness) but I’m thankful for his health every single day and this has helped me become more in tune with what he needs and how best to support and care for dogs. I work at a local coffee shop so my hours are very flexible and I work fairly short hours so there’s always a point in the day when I’m free. I always try to get a certain amount of steps, so walking and taking care of dogs is perfect for me. We have a large yard perfect for running and I take my dogs out on leashes for walks and we have a pond in our backyard to walk around.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Jackson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Jackson on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,335 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Jackson. 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 Jackson 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 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!

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 Jackson 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 Jackson. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
