House Sitting in Jackson

“Ellen made my trip actually feel like a vacation when I didn’t have to worry about my dog, she sent pictures, and kept my house the way it was like I never left! Cannot recommend her enough and will use her again and again!”

“Rodney was absolutely great with our dogs/cat! Received LOTS of great pictures of all our fur-babies while we were gone, and he went above and beyond taking care of our house and daily chores (which he absolutely did not have to do, but we came home to that surprise!). Would absolutely rebook him again, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to take care of your pets!”

About: While I'm more used to cats, I do also love dogs. Have a dog with separation anxiety? I can keep them company for a while! I will be working part-time Monday-Friday from 2 pm to 6 pm. I will be available to watch your pets from 9:30 am-1:30 pm on those days (despite what options this site gave). On Saturdays and Sundays I'll be available from 3 pm-8 pm. If I am unable to watch a pet at any time, I will let you know ahead of time by at least a few days. I currently own a cat, Higgins, who is a big lovebug and fairly food motivated. I've been in charge of feeding him breakfast and dinner since we rescued him in 2015, along with scooping his litterbox. He's also needed nightly medication for some stomach issues, so I have experience giving him a pill. I can feed your pet, clean up after them whether they have a set schedule or not, and provide medication if necessary.

“Lauren is great! Our pets warmed up to her right away at the meet and greet, she was on time, and she sent me lots of updates. It's so nice to be able to get away while knowing my babies are in good hands! Thank you Lauren!!”

“Nicole and her family were wonderful. She was very responsive and always sending updates on our pups. They were very accommodating when we had multiple flight delays getting home. We appreciate everything they did for our family.”

Kacey F.

“Would love to have Lauren back to babysit my babies anytime!!!”

“Heather house- and dog-sat for us over the weekend as our first experience with Rover and it went great. We were updated with photos of our dogs once she arrived (we had already left) and she was very responsive all along the way. It couldn't have gone any better.”

About: I’ve done dog sitting and other pet sitting before for a few years now. If a family member or close friend ever needs something I’m the one to call. I’m a self employed hairstylist so I get to make my own schedule and be my own boss. I’m flexible and always love new animals. I have a dog and two cats. Each with ranging unique personalities. I enjoy loving them in the way each of them needs to be loved and cared for.

“Evan was GREAT ! He contacted me very quickly regarding a medical concern one of my Great Danes was having. He was very quick to reply to all my messages and sent smiling pictures of the dogs to put me at ease. I was especially surprised to see the floors and bedding washed and clean upon my arrival. My Danes fell in love with him during the meet and greet visit and will definitely use him for all our dog care needs. Cora”

“Libby was fantastic with our fur babies..I am so happy we found her and will definitely be asking for help again. She updated us regularly and we felt we left our home and pets in good hands!”

About: I have a huge passion and love for all animals! I have my own small dog, who’s my whole world. He’s 5 years old and does everything with me. I have volunteered at vet offices and love helping and being around animals whenever I can. I love helping others and being able to provide and assist people to make their lives easier. I’m currently working in home care and have a very flexible schedule. I also enjoy jogging with dogs too. I will love your animals just as much as my own! I make my own schedule each day for work so I can be available for you and your pet! I would love to help make anything easier for you. I love all animals as my own! I feed them when they need to be, keep their environment clean, and exercises them as needed 😊

About: I enjoy playing with pets and letting them get the exercise they need and want! I have a big fenced in yard for plenty of activities! I work part time and would have plenty of time to give your pup the time it needs and wants! And wouldn’t mind having an extra friend to go on walks with. Nice fenced in yard, good neighborhood to go for walks in. Peaceful calm home for dogs that don’t like the excitement as much. Lots of love and hugs to go around!

About: Have been around dogs since I was born. Enjoy spending time playing fetch and taking them for long walks and giving treats out for great behavior! I currently work at U of M hospital and have a work schedule that my hours fluctuates from week to week. Some shifts are 6:30am-3pm, 2pm-10pm, 8:30am-5pm. I do have weekends open and available. I do not have a fenced in yard and would stay at your house or pick up your dog to take them for walks or visit and play with them at your house.

“Kristy is an excellent pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure our pets are well cared for when we are away. I never have to worry Kristy is with our dogs. She is quick to respond and sends updates throughout her stay. Our dogs are thrilled to see her and enjoy her company. It’s comforting knowing I have someone who truly cares for my pets when I am gone.”

“Christine was very good with communication. She also left our house just as clean if not cleaner when she left.”

About: My family always had dogs and cats while I was growing up. I sorted the pictures of the dogs I have known the longest to the shortest, with a photo of me at The Hemingway House in Key West FLA petting a cat. First is my childhood dog named Fezz who passed away in 2020. Second is my brothers beagle, Jack. Next is an old friend’s tan Pitbull named Louise. Then there is my dad’s white puppy named Piggie. The next photos are my friend Andy’s dogs. Two Bully Breeds. The white one is Biggie and the grey one is Gianna. I have watched them a few times and I walk them together. Biggie is a rescue and is considered a high risk dog. He has bit 10+ people, but he loves me so much and is very comfortable around me. I wouldn’t say I’m a dog whisperer, but I certainly have a way with dogs. I have watched my brother’s beagle as well a few times. When I lived in CO (about a decade ago) I watched a German Shepherd and an Alaskan Malamute. They were a handful and hard to walk together as they were both pretty big and strong, but I was still able to do it. I work remote doing life and health insurance, so I’m just looking for a side job to supplement my income until I build my book of business up. I could watch them at my house as I have a huge fenced in yard, but I would rather meet the animal at home where it’s most comfortable for them. When I watch Andy’s dogs, I watch them at his house.

“Brittany helped us in a pinch and was so good with our Great Dane, Rosemary. We appreciated her responsiveness and all the photos and videos she sent of their time together. She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and knows how to care for them. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup and couldn't be more grateful. Rose made a new friend, and we look forward to using her services again. We highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter!”

About: I’m Kourtni! I’m looking for a part time commitment taking care of your pet! I am new to Rover but I frequently watch friends pets. My whole life, animals have loved me. They’ve always preferred me over others. I’m great with dogs, cats, and small animals. I live in a manufactured home park, so I frequently can take your pet on walks and by the river with little to no traffic. I stock up on treats. I can administer medication to your pet. I’m not claiming to know everything there is to know about animals, all I know is I love them and care for them well and they love me! If you think I’d be a good fit for your animal please get ahold of me. :) As of 12/27/22: I am now only taking house sitting clients that are okay with me bringing my pet as well. He is potty trained, listens very well and has never been around a dog he doesn’t like. I’m an independent contractor and run my own small business, so I make my own schedule with my typical work life. Therefore, I can usually work around different schedules depending on every animals different needs. My pet is alone usually around 6 hours per day. I usually give him some snacks to keep him occupied. I do not have a fenced yard currently but hoping to at some point. Living in a park, I keep my dog on a 40 ft in ground leash, but while dog sitting I usually take the other dogs out on their walk leash.

“Hailey was great! We used her as a sitter for our dog on our wedding night! She was kind and communicated well. Gunner had a great time. We definitely will be using her to watch him again!”

And have worked at a few doggy daycares as well, I have obedience training experience, grooming experience, dispensing medication experience, and I absolutely just love dogs overall! I’m also working on building up a clientele to eventually grow into a fully operational doggy/cat daycare/hotel. Get up I feed my fish first thing, then I let my dogs out, put food in my dogs dish, let him inside to eat, then it’s play time. I have 5 acres, with a huge fenced in yard, i do have chickens, turkeys, goats, dog, and 3 donkeys. I will crate at night if boarding apon pet parents request.
