“We were so nervous to have a first time in-house dog sitter while away for the weekend. But Jalisa was so wonderful!!! She kept us updated with pictures of play & mealtime. Was incredibly respectful of our home and left it spotless. Our dogs (that can be quite rowdy) were so happy and well taken care of. JaLisa will be the first call we make the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“Megan did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of my boy. Sudden travel can be stressful, especially when you have no family in the area, but I felt like she genuinely loved on my dog the way that I do. She was flexible, communicative, and sent fantastic photos to put me at ease. Came home to a happy and calm dog which is the most you can ask. Book with confidence.”
“Tonya was absolutely great with the dogs! They loved her from the minute they met her! Missed her when she was gone as well. She was so respectful of our home and going above and beyond to keep it clean! Would plan to rebook in future”
“We haven’t been traveling so I haven’t used these guys in a while, but I did need to call on them a few days ago. Our dog had suffered a medical issue and I felt really comfortable leaving Jonathan and Shelly in charge. They did not disappoint. I still recommend them 100% and already have them lined up for our next trip!”
About: Hi there, I’ve been caring for dogs for over 30 years and I love what I do. I’ve looked after pups of all breeds, sizes and personalities - from playful puppies to senior sweethearts- I’ve never had a single problem or unhappy client. Im also a proud parent myself of two adorable Shih Tzus and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether it’s daily drop ins, weekend stays or just extra love and attention while you are away, I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own. I am available and ready to spend time with your furry family members on short notice. Looking forward to many fun filled days with your pets. I will take care of your pets as if they were mine. We will form a loving bond and enjoy our time together while waiting for your return.
About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs running around always, but did not start caring for other people’s pets until I was about 16. Since then I’ve had many home-stay and visiting pet sitting jobs! I’m an animal lover and have ease warming up to animals, even ones that need a little extra attention. I also have no problem doing some household chores that you may need done while you’re away! I’m currently working very minimally on my own accord, so I have availability 7 days a week! That means I’m free to spend as much time with your pets as they need. I’m also very flexible should plans change or if you need a last minute cover. In your home, I will be extremely respectful of your space. I am sure to use only what I’ll need to ensure your pet is well cared for happy :). As mentioned previously, if you need anything aside from animal care during the time of hire, I am happy to keep your household maintained for your return.
“Elise was fantastic! We have a somewhat challenging situation as our two dogs currently don't get along and have to be separated. Elise was really understanding and hyper aware of the situation, ensuring both dogs would be safe. Our dogs took to her immediately making us feel at ease. She sent a bunch of photos, walked the boys a ton and gave them the attention they needed! She stayed overnight at our house and was very respectful of our home. We will definitely be using Elise for future out of town trips!”
“Vicki was wonderful! It was so great to go on a trip and not worry about our pets! Our house was neat and clean when we returned and Vicki even washed and changed the bed sheets before she left. Very happy with her services!”
“Graham has stayed at our home with our dogs multiple times. Our dogs love him and we always find everything in perfect order when we come home. We very much appreciate his great work for us.”
“Tristan was just fantastic! He kept us updated with walks and adorable photos, and the house was spotless when we returned. He even went the extra mile by washing the sheets on the guest bed! Our dogs absolutely adored him! We can’t wait to have Tristan look after both of them again!”
“Sophie & Jacob were AMAZING! Our little Yeti warmed up to them immediately! We felt SO secure knowing they were with her and she was in good hands! Yeti even needed to say goodbye before they could leave. Would 100% rebook with them and recommend them!!!!!!!”
“Jennifer is excellent and an absolute professional! She put us at ease in a new location with some anxious dogs! The pups might have had a better "staycation" than our vacation. You defintely should book her!”
“Erica was wonderful! I had her house sit for me with my German Shepard and kitten and she went above and beyond to make sure she knew all of their needs. She stayed with them and gave them lots of attention. She was very good and giving me updates and pictures. I will definitely be using her from now on! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: *PLEASE READ* Transparency is important to me, so I want pet parents to know I work full-time in Mount Pleasant during the weekdays (7:30 AM–4:00 PM). Because of my commute from Summerville, I’m unable to leave work early before 4:00 PM. This schedule works best for pets comfortable during the workday, and I’m fully available for evenings, nights, and weekends.. Communication is very important to me — I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know your pet is safe and cared for. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely comfortable and confident while they’re apart. I can do drop in before 630 am and anytime after 4 pm Caring for pets fits naturally into my day because spending time with animals is something I truly love.” Dogs are my peace and relaxing time. “Reliable, loving care for your pet, with routines, exercise, and plenty of attention. “Your pet’s happiness and safety is my top priority." Happy babies.
About: I have had dogs and cared for animals my whole life! I currently have 6 dogs in my home, so I know how much love, attention, and care they need. I truly love being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, patient, and will treat your pets just like they are my own! 🐾 I currently work part-time in healthcare and work every other weekend. I will also be attending Trident Technical College in the fall for nursing. Even with my busy schedule, caring for animals is something I truly enjoy and make time for. I have availability during the week and on the weekends I am not working, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the love, attention, and care they deserve! I have always been around animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will make sure your fur baby gets lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding instructions, or special needs your pet may have!
About: Hi, I’m Sandi! As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your home and beloved pets in someone else’s care. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve spent years rehabilitating and helping stray animals of many different species, along with caring for my own pets, including senior cats with strict medication schedules. Because of that experience, I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines. Whether your pet requires medications, extra patience, playtime, special feeding instructions, or simply a familiar routine, I take those responsibilities seriously. When caring for your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention to detail that I would expect for my own. I can provide pet feeding, medication administration, litter box maintenance, mail and package collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, home check-ins, and regular updates (with pictures included) so you always know your pets and property are doing well. You’ll be happy to know that I’m often praised for my problem-solving abilities and excellent communication. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely take pride in creating a safe, comfortable environment for both pets and homeowners. I know that trust is everything in this line of work, and I work hard to earn it. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets with kindness and your home with respect, I’d love to connect and see how I can help make your life easier! Thanks for reading. Chat soon :) Animal care has been part of my everyday life for years. My flexible schedule allows me to be available during times when many sitters are not, including daytime hours, extended visits, and last-minute care needs when availability permits. Because I spend much of my time working from home and managing my own schedule, I can provide a higher level of attentiveness, communication, and consistency than someone limited to evenings and weekends. This flexibility is especially beneficial for senior pets, pets requiring medication, or animals that thrive with extra companionship and routine. Providing dependable, compassionate care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule. It’s something I intentionally make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Pets are often most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise and enrichment preferences, and any household guidelines provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, water intake, litter box habits, and overall well-being so that I can quickly recognize any changes that may need attention. For cats especially, I understand how important routine and a low-stress environment can be. I maintain a clean and secure environment by keeping food and water areas tidy, cleaning litter boxes regularly, ensuring doors and windows remain secure, and removing any obvious hazards. I also treat every home with the utmost respect and can assist with mail collection, plant care, trash and recycling management, and general home check-ins. Communication is a top priority. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving attentive care while they’re away. I never view pet sitting as simply feeding and leaving.. I spend quality time interacting with each pet so they receive companionship, enrichment, and attention in addition to their basic care needs.
“Athena is amazing! She went above and beyond in taking care of our dogs. The dogs loved her, we got lots of photo and video updates and she took care of everything at our house while we were away. I would highly recommend Athena!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Jacksonboro
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,512 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jacksonboro. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Jacksonboro 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 Jacksonboro 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.
Tip: 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 Jacksonboro 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
