Makayla certainly lived up to the hype! She was accommodating, and genuine. Communication was great as well. Blue did not wish to see her go when his stay concluded. I am already looking to book her for upcoming visits!

I cannot recommend Priya highly enough! She took exceptional care of my cats while I was away on vacation and gave me complete peace of mind. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. What impressed me most was how she connected with my cat Nova, who is typically very shy and tends to hide from people. Priya was patient, gentle, and earned Nova's trust to the point that she came out of hiding and embraced Priya's care. That alone speaks volumes about Priya's kindness and natural ability with animals. She kept me updated, made sure my cats were comfortable and well cared for, and treated them as if they were her own. Coming home to happy, relaxed cats was the best feeling. I would absolutely trust Priya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter.

Asha is THE BEST sitter I’ve ever had! She truly has a love for animals and treated my babies like her own. They love her! I was able to enjoy my time away without a second thought as to how my pups were being cared for. She sent pics and videos on each of her visits. I HIGHLY recommend her! I wish I could rate her more than 5 stars....she’s a 10 for sure!!!!

She was wonderful. Our cats are unfortunately bad and broke glass and she very kindly cleaned it up and took out the trash for us. She has been super responsive throughout and we couldn’t ask for much more. One hundred percent recommend.

About: I have had a dog since I was 15 years old, and I have always been his primary caretaker. I have also watched friends and families pets where I have been responsible for walking, feeding, and bathing them. I have also had experience with pets who take medications. I am in Clinton for the summer, so I am looking for ways to fill time. Pet care seems like a great way to do it! I have pretty much open availability. When caring for your pet, I will follow your requests and provide the care that you see fit for your pet! I love to go above and beyond, so just let me know how I can best serve you and your pet.

Lauren exceeded my expectations with out dogs. She initiated a meet and greet before we left for our trip with our dogs which helped put my mind at ease leaving the dogs in her care. After our first interaction I felt confident she was more than capable of managing our 4 dogs at once. While we were on the trip she was always prompt and reliable. Her photo updates were pure gold. She could add a side hustle of being a pet photographer if she wanted! Overall I was really pleased and will use her again!

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years. From afternoon visits to month-long stays, I’ve done it all. I also have experience caring for elderly and sick animals, including my own when she was diagnosed with cancer. I’m patient and kind towards all animals. I adopted two cats in Sept. of 2024 and adore them so much! I work part time at an ice cream shop in Jackson. I have free time in the mornings and most evenings due to the later shop hours. I’m open to any house sits and will stay with your pet! First off, I remain calm and easy when meeting an animal. If I’m able, I like to leave a belonging of mine so they can get used to my scent! I’m a very laidback person so lounging around the house and going out for a walk with your dog is perfect. I love giving pets and cuddling on the couch.

About: I’ve been working with dogs for over 19 years and provide a structured, calm, and safe environment in my home. I have a dedicated dog room with secure kennels, supervised interaction, and clear boundaries. I currently own and train multiple dogs, including a fully trained service animal and another dog I’ve personally raised and developed. This gives me strong experience with behavior, energy management, and different personalities. Dogs in my care are treated like family, but with structure. They can enjoy comfort like furniture once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I do not allow destructive or uncontrolled habits. I’m comfortable with puppies and can reinforce basic training, routine, and good behavior during their stay. I also provide advanced training reinforcement as part of my care. Dogs naturally work on obedience, confidence, impulse control, and daily mental and physical engagement while they’re here. I have experience building service-style task foundations and higher-level behavior, but I do not certify service animals. Every dog benefits from structure in my home, whether they need basic manners or more advanced work. My focus is safety, consistency, and communication so every dog is properly supervised, exercised, and leaves more balanced, responsive, and confident. Pet care is part of my daily routine, not something I fit in on the side. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, structured interaction, and regular potty breaks, exercise, and mental engagement. My background in disciplined environments has shaped how I run my home—dogs here benefit from routine, clear expectations, and a calm, controlled atmosphere. Each day includes a balance of activity, training reinforcement, and rest so dogs stay healthy, settled, and stress-free. Because I’m available throughout the day, I can adapt to each dog’s needs—whether that’s higher energy, puppy structure, or a more relaxed pace. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so owners can feel confident their dog is safe, engaged, and well looked after at all times. Safety, trust, and structure are the foundation of how I care for every dog. My home is set up specifically for pet care, with a dedicated dog room, secure kennels, and supervised interaction at all times. I carefully manage introductions and only allow dogs to interact once they are calm, balanced, and a good fit. Dogs in my care follow a structured routine that includes regular potty breaks, exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. I maintain clear boundaries while still allowing comfort—dogs can enjoy furniture and a relaxed environment once they demonstrate respectful behavior and cleanliness. I require dogs to be crate familiar or comfortable with structured downtime. Owners are encouraged to provide a crate or familiar setup for overnight stays, though I have limited kennel space available if needed. I prioritize communication and will keep owners updated with how their dog is doing. My goal is to provide a calm, controlled environment where dogs feel safe, are properly supervised, and leave more balanced and well cared for than when they arrived.

About: I have experience in dog walking and have worked in the Petsmart grooming salon. I have encountered all types of dogs including, but not limited to Great Danes, Chihuahuas, Bully breeds, seniors, puppies etc. From the time I was little, I loved animals and even wanted to own a zoo. My love for dogs began when my cousin got her first dog, Maximilian. By this time, I was afraid of dogs,l Max slowly eased me out of my fear and soon I wanted a dog of my own. My dog family grew when I got my dog Douglas. Douglas and I were best buds up until his passing in 2024. Currently, I currently have Bellatrix Lestrange (7 years, brown dog), Severus Snape (4 years black dog), and Aragorn "Oreo" (2, cat). . As of now I work a full time job Monday through Friday so I am only available on the weekends unless an emergency with one of my clients arises. My schedule changes on a week to week basis and I try my best to keep my Rover updated as soon as I get my schedule. I follow any and all instructions the owner provides. Dogs get plenty of play time and love and affection. I also have experience with cats and small rodents.

About: 8 years of professional petsitting experience on top of multiple years of pet ownership; includes housesitting, house maintenance, and care of non-traditional pets such as rodents and reptiles. I’m currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible and wide open for plenty of time to love on your furry friends. I receive my schedule weeks in advance and am able to prioritize my clients effectively and ensure the highest quality of care. Due to my apartment complex not allowing pets, I care for pets at clients’ homes, whether that’s through pop-in visits to the home or housesitting for the amount of time needed. This ensures that your pets are in an environment that they are comfortable in. I communicate with clients before and throughout the visit to ensure they are kept in the loop while I care for their pets, including photos, and I never hesitate to ask questions if I have any.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Jackson on Rover is $16.05 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 177 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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 80% 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.
