Amazing sitter! Our cats adapted to hernia going out pretty quickly. Our most skittish cat actually let her touch them! She was very communicative and even let us know how the road conditions were for us to get home.

About: Your dog will be my dog while in my care. I am a huge animal lover who has always made my animals a part of my family, not just an animal. Starting May 4th, I will be training for a new job. My training hours will be 8-5, if you can work around those time please reach out. My yard is not fenced so your babies will only be outside when I am out there with them, leashed if required. I do not agree with leaving a dog alone all night when they are already seeing a difference with their family being gone. If they are dog friendly they would have socialization as well with my friends and family dogs so they could get some interaction and extra exercise! I currently work from home so frequent potty breaks or administration of medication would not be an issue. We would be one big happy family all day long My dogs are not crated when I leave the house but do have an extra large one if required for your baby. If you need me to do a drop in visit, my hours for availability are in the air for the next couple of weeks until I am given my new works hours.

April was wonderful! I unexpectedly needed a sitter last minute and she came to the rescue. My cats and dog were well cared for and April went above and beyond to assure me they were happy and healthy as I was out of the country.

About: I’m knowledgeable in breed-specific needs and maintain consistency to keep them mentally and physically happy! I have previously taken dog behavior courses and am familiar with dog body language. I have worked with dogs of all sizes and ages! No dog is “too much!” I am comfortable with administering medications and providing grooming for long haired/high maintenance breeds. I have worked with puppies all the way up to senior dogs so I am comfortable handling all ages. I have a full-time job but am more than happy to fit time in to take care of your lovely fur baby. My typical shift is 8:00-4:30pm M-F. I have open availability on weekends to provide housesitting! If you are looking for constant care (pet cannot be left alone for 4 hours or more), I am happy to provide that however, I do charge a constant care rate if during the work week as I will need to take those days off and I will need to recoup lost salary. For constant care pets, I do require at least a month’s notice ahead of time so I can get that time off to accommodate. I will never take a sit if my work schedule cannot accommodate it—your pet’s care and safety is extremely important to me. I will work with you to decide if I am the right fit for your pet’s needs and routine. Nothing is worse than upsetting your pet’s routine and comfortability! I now offer drop-visits as well! This is great for people who might need someone to check in your fur baby a couple times a day but does not need around-the-clock needs. I am happy to drop in before work (8am) and can drop by after work! If you’re someone who works longer shifts, this is perfect for you! I am comfortable crating your pet if requested but they are also more than welcome to share a bed with me if they are used to sleeping with you! If you have an unfenced yard, I will keep them on leash at all times. If you have a fenced yard, I will stay out and monitor them until they are ready to come inside. Doors will be locked at all times whether I am in the home with your pet or if I’m at work. If you have any home-alarm systems, I will use them as well.

About: Hi! My name is Kylee, and I'm a reliable and experienced pet caregiver with 6+ years of dog handling and training experience, 13 years of cat care experience, and 5 years of caring for guinea pigs and other small animals. I am also CPR and First Aid certified for cats and dogs, and I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency in every visit. I prefer in-home pet care only (at the client's home), as I have my own pets at home, including 5 dogs and 3 cats. My services include drop-in visits, feeding, walks, playtime, litter box and cage cleaning, medication administration, puppy care, and overnight stays. I have experience with large and small dogs, leash training, basic obedience reinforcement, and high-needs care routines. I treat every pet like my own and focus on maintaining their normal routines while owners are away. I am dependable, punctual, and communicative, and I provide attentive, compassionate care so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home. My schedule is completely open on the weekends and Wednesdays, and I work part-time Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. But I am available after 4:30 those days. I am only comfortable caring for your animals in their home as I have 5 dogs and 3 cats of my own. All animals are treated as they are my own babies.

About: I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat of my own and love helping care for other animals. I have experience with high energy dogs, as well as senior cats and dogs. I am now a young 40 something mom and professional who has had pets my entire life! I LOVE animals! I am typically available to provide care in the evenings and weekends, sometimes at lunchtime depending on location, and for extended vacation stays. I only care for other pets in their own homes so I take guidance from you and your pet. Tell me what preferences you have and what your pet's routine is and I will follow that. :)

About: I enjoy caring for cats, dogs, and even reptiles. I currently have 4 cats and a bearded dragon of my own. I have been around animals my entire life. I am able to give medicine to cats and dogs. I am able to walk dogs as well. I work full time M-F. I am available mostly on weekends for dogs but I can do drop in for cats and other animals that need only once or twice drop ins during the week. I prefer to care for a dog in their own home but will assess each request for caring in my home. My cats are not fans of dogs but I am able to separate them into their own space. I am patient and kind when caring for animals. I won’t leave a dog outside on its own and will play catch to help tire them out. I will work with the owner’s instructions for care for feeding times and anything else.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8, when I got my own puppy. With my family i have 2 dogs, a Beagle and a Puggle. Growing up, I also had a Yellow Lab. I have pet sat multiple times in the past few years, both overnight and daily check ins. I love dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, and treat all dogs I encounter as if they were my own. I have a very open schedule that allows for me to pet sit at any time throughout the day, and any day of the week. I would not be able to care for pets in my own home, only in client’s homes. I am willing to fulfill whatever needs are presented by each pet, whether that be getting to know them slowly to allow them to build trust, snuggling with them so they aren’t lonely while their owners are gone, or any other needs they may have.

Corinne has been a wonderful blessing! Our fur babies are literally an integral part of our family and not being able to take them somewhere is stressful. With Corinne, there is a level of comfort knowing they are being literally loved on and cared for in our absence.

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!

Elizabeth was amazing!! Total cat whisper...my cat won't come out for anyone besides myself and 2 other people. My nieces who are total cat lovers and are of age where they don't chase cats and wait for them still can't coax my cat outta hiding. She narrates care and sent a Pic. This was my 1st time using Rover and now my secret is out. Elizabeth is the greatest!!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Jackson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Jackson on Rover is $21.4 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,393 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

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:

  • 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
