“Sonja made the whole process very easy and comfortable. From meet & greet availability to instant comfort for our pups and then being adaptable with an entry challenge for the drop in visit.”
“If I could I would give her more than five stars Faith was amazing!!! Was able to connect before the visits to go over everything and she remembered everything and was so caring and kind to our cats. I found her very trustworthy and professional. She is now our new cat sitter HANDS-DOWN. very reliable and always responded within a minute if I would send a text. She sent us lots of pictures and spent a lot of time with her cats. I feel she went above and beyond and I am a very particular person when it comes to my babies. My cat Charlie is very nervous around anyone and she calmed him and made me not feel bad about leaving him because I Felt so comfortable with her taking care of him. I highly recommend her and will always book with Faith!”
“If I could give 100 stars, I would! Shannon was so thorough & caring with our little pride of house lions. She gave great updates with lots of pictures. It is so wonderful to know that our little loves are in great hands when we have to be away. We don't deserve people like Shannon!! She is amazing!”
“Autumn was so sweet and I am glad she was available to dog sit Bella. Bella loved her from the moment they met. Autumn had good communication skills, was punctual and professional , sent photos of Bella and visit reports. I highly recommend and will rebook in the future.”
About: I've owned a dog for ten years at home. I also have taken care of various neighbors' and friends' dogs as they relied on me to walk, feed, and play with the dog. I have boarded a dog for a month last summer. I now care for my own dog in my apartment. I currently have an easy schedule with one class a day where I would not be in the apartment. However, due to having three other roommates there is typically always somebody in my apartment. I have a very friendly dog who would love to play with others but she can also relax in her crate as needed. We have a fenced-in courtyard that dogs can run around in too!
About: I have about 4 years of hands-on pet care experience with both dogs and cats. I’ve cared for dogs for family members, including regularly dog sitting for my sister, and I’ve provided cat sitting for family friends. I also have experience training and caring for my sister’s Golden Retriever puppy, including helping with basic training, routines, playtime, and supervision. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs, and I treat every pet with patience, attention, and genuine care. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m currently a high school student with school from 7:00 AM to 2:25 PM on weekdays. I’m available for pet care after school, during evenings, and throughout the weekends. I’m also available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I can work with different schedules when given advance notice. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages while caring for their pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet’s routine and any instructions provided by their owner, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and other specific needs. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and make sure they are supervised and cared for in a calm, comfortable environment. I’ll also communicate with you throughout the booking and provide updates so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always loved being around animals of all kinds. Helping care for my senior Lab taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and giving pets all the love and attention. I love being able to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away and treat every pet like family! I currently have a part-time job, which allows me to be very flexible with my schedule. I’m happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. I love spending time with animals and can make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, love, and care while you’re away! I care for pets in their own homes by going through their usual routines, feeding, walks, playtime, and of course plenty of love and attention! I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I’m happy to adjust to the pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel cared for just like with family.
“Kim was a life saver for us! Our pups do not do well in kennels and are not dog friendly, so having Kim do drop-in visits throughout the day was a total lifesaver! Our one dog has a reoccurring tummy issue that happens few months, unfortunately this happened while we were away. Kim helped keep an eye on her, and even cleaned up when she got sick. We will be using Kim again for any future sitting needs!”
About: I am a life long animal lover with a rabbit of my own. I grew up with multiple dogs my entire life as well as taking care of pets of friends and family since i was in high school. I am a true animal lover and would give my upmost care to any animal under my care. If you want someone that will love your pets as if they are their own, I am the person for you! Currently I work full time but I am very flexible with scheduling care times within my morning, lunch, or afternoon. Fridays I work from home so my schedule is much more flexible end of week and on the weekends! I am comfortable with pets of all sizes including small animals such as rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, if you have some extra friends :) working in a corporate setting I love to use my time with furry friends to be active, play, and help burn off energy for myself and your babies! That being said ill never say no to cuddles and just being a comforting presence.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always been a huge part of who I am. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of sharing my home with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, a rabbit, birds, and even reptiles—so I’m comfortable with a wide variety of pet personalities and needs. My fiancé and I currently have five cats, and they keep life fun, active, and full of love. I have a deep compassion for animals of all kinds and all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve also taken in several strays over the years, helping reunite them with their owners or finding them safe, loving homes. That experience has made me especially attentive, responsible, and intuitive when it comes to animal care. I truly value time outdoors and believe regular walks and activity are key to a happy, healthy pet. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like one of my own—with love, attention, and respect. I work part time as a massage therapist this leaves lots of times available for in home pet care. My schedule can be open more then what days/times I have on my profile. Currently I'd be coming to your home to care for or walk your pet. If needed I could possibly board. I do have 5 cats, they sleep most of the day.
About: I pet it all of my phones and families dogs whether it’s from short visits to letting the dogs outside to go potty or overnight stays. I have been doing this for over two years now, but it’s been a lot more frequent over the past two years. I have always loved dogs. In fact I have two big dogs one purebred German Shepherd and the other dog is a great Pyrenees mix. I am working with Rover now because I’m trying to be able to afford an apartment for myself and just take care of my basic necessities. I know how well I will want my dogs taken care of if I needed a sitter so I try to provide that same care to my clients! I can usually make any time work as best for you. I don’t have a full-time job. It should be my primary job right now. I can do anything you need me to do. Feeding the dogs, letting them out to go potty, taking them to play, taking them on a walk, etc.
“As always, we had a wonderful experience leaving our fur babies with Aidan! Very communicative, attentive to our pets needs, and goes above and beyond to make us feel comfortable while we are away.”
About: I've had dogs all of my life! From puppies to seniors, I provide the love, affection and care your dog will need while you're gone! I am a live in caretaker for my parents. My schedule is SUPER flexible! I am able to leave periodically throughout the day or stay overnight at your house any day of the week! I am happy to follow the regular routine you have for your pet. Walks, feeding, cleaning up and a lot of extra love! Also, happy to grab mail, water plants and take care of garbage pick up.
“Allison was an amazing sitter for our four cats — Stanley, Pebbles, Murphy, and Harley. Stanley is a full-time attention hog, but Allison made sure everyone got their cuddles and pets during each visit. She also flawlessly handled Stanley’s nightly oral medication (6/6 successful doses 👏), which is no small feat. All cats are on various different prescription foods, and she fed them perfectly, kept water bowls full, and made sure dry food was always available. We loved the detailed Rover report cards and all the photos — it was clear she spent the full hour with them, just as requested. I know we are coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and total peace of mind. She also brought all our packages into the house, which is a bonus.”
About: I’ve had experience of raising my two bassets from 8 weeks old- now one is turned 6 in April and the other turned 4 in December! I love dog cuddles, walks, and play time! I’ve even baby sat my aunt and uncles dogs for over 10 years now! I’m a crazy dog lover who likes to spoil them with cuddles and kisses! My weekends are free for dog sitting for longer stays at your place and I’m free after 5pm during the week for your nightly needs! Willing to spend the night at your place so your dogs are the most comfortable! My house is dog friendly but do not have a fenced in yard
“Ashley was able to help us out on very short notice. We were at a wedding out of town and she came to our house to give our dog his afternoon medication. She actually sent a video of her giving the medication at the time we had scheduled with her. It’s amazing to find someone who really cared for our dog. We will definitely use Ashley again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jackson
Cheryl is exceptional! I have had her care for both my elderly cat and now with my lazy 2 year old kitten. When Thomas (older, since passed) needed injections twice a day Cheryl was very competent in his care. She is super punctual, follows any written directions I leave as well as the extras I don't think of before a trip. I LOVE her expressive prose on Lucy's report card. She is simply the best at taking care of my pets and I never (ever) worry while I travel. 🥰
Ariel is an upbeat person and my three dogs really loved her during the meet and greet. On the day of her visit, she arrived on time, left me a nice series of pictures and the dogs didn't have problems when she entered the house or took them out. I will definitely book her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jackson is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,967 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jackson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
