“Alina was wonderful in every way. We received a daily text with pictures. Our dog is picky and really took to her too, which is always a good sign. She left the house in the same condition it was left to her as we had her stay all night at the house. She also has a very sweet disposition.”
“Za’Bella watched my dog Lily for nearly 2 weeks & did a phenomenal job! Lily absolutely loved her & was sad when she left. She is great at communicating & making sure your animal has everything they need. As well as making sure they’re getting enough play time/interaction. I absolutely will be booking with her again!”
About: I grew up on a farm and took part in daily care of all animals big and small. My love for animals started at a young age as I made it my personal mission to convince my parents to allow me to take in literally dozens of strays abandoned on our dirt road over the years. I’ve had a soft spot for animals my entire life. I believe every animal deserves to be treated with compassion and dignity. In my adult life, I’ve fostered young puppies, cared for and trained a shepsky mix for the last 7 years, and have cared for cats ranging from bottle fed kittens to senior cats as old as 25 (RIP Miss Priss 🥲) and am now the proud parent of a dart frog tadpole! I can work with you to determine what schedule works best for your pets needs. My children are in school three days a week and play with family and friends every other day, so it’s no problem for me to slip out for 30-60 minutes to tend to your furry friends. I have one cat, one dog, and two young children. For these reasons, I prefer to pet sit in your home because that is the environment that your pet is most comfortable with, but *can* offer boarding in my home to established clients if your pet is amenable to sharing our space! My pets each have their own room and I have implemented a crate & rotate system for other animal guests in the past to ensure that there are no unfortunate accidents. My husband will be present to supervise our children, but trust that the privilege of caring for your pet is all mine. We have a large fenced in back yard and a quiet safe neighborhood for all of the outdoor enrichment your pet could dream of! For drop in pet care, I will follow your rules and routines exactly as you relay them to me and can provide you with an abundance of pictures to show you that your pets are in good hands.
About: I've been a pet parent for almost all of my adult like. I love all dogs and friendly affectionate cats. I always follow parent rules but love to spoil the critters I sit with. I am semi-retired and all of the work I do can be done remotely. When I'm with your pet at home I'm there! My sweet 90-year old mom takes care of my senior little Herbie the Love Pup while I'm with other critters. I follow all pet parent routine and rules. I always use client provided leashes and harnesses. I have good leash training skills as well. I follow timely feeding and treating schedules as defined by the pet parents. I customize pet care base on the family's needs.
About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life growing up in a small town in Tennessee, including dogs, cats, and even a bird. These experiences taught me how to care for animals beyond their basic needs—to be patient, understand their behavior, respect their boundaries, and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and staying active. I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the week for walks, check-ins, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need I treat every pet differently because they all have their own personality and needs. I pay attention to their behavior, give them time to get comfortable with me, and make sure they feel safe rather than forcing interaction. I’ll follow their normal routine, keep them active and cared for, and give them the same patience and attention I would want someone to give my own pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson
Alina did a great job, like she always does, taking care of Oscar for me while I was on vacation. She’s done several drop in visits for me before, but this was the first time she’s done overnights with Oscar. Absolutely no surprise, she did great-plenty of pictures and updates on how he was doing. She was even thoughtful enough to check my mail for even though I didn’t ask her too. It was nice to be able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry if Oscar as ok; he was being taken great care of.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Jackson walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Jackson maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
