“Marshall is an incredible pet sitter! He is very caring, responsible, and thoughtful! Because of him we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing someone was caring for our cats just how we would! He took pictures and gave us updates on the cats as well which we appreciated! We are new to Rover and we are glad that Marshall was our first experience using Rover! Thank you Marshall!”

“Mia was an excellent sitter for our cats while we were away. She was prompt when responding to our booking requests and was easy to talk to during the meet and greet. Her notes after the visits were detailed and gave us comfort knowing everyone was doing well. She even took the time to play with the cats and give them each some attention during her short visits. Thank you Mia!”

About: I have always had pets growing up and continue to keep dogs as an adult. I have raised and trained a variety of breeds and ages. I just moved to the area, and my dream job would be playing with dogs all day. I will need most weekends for family, but during the week I am available. May be able to make arrangements for weekend. I would love to take your fur baby for a walk. I have 2 other dogs in my home. I can easily crate or separate dogs as necessary.

About: I have house sat for dogs and cats for 10 years and I have cared for all types of dogs to include: senior dogs, puppies, small dogs and large dogs. I will be available 16 hours of the day Monday through Friday, and completely available on the weekends. Can be flexible with scheduling depending on your pets needs. :) I always care for the house I am house sitting for as if it were my own. Typically I like to go over the routine for the animals, such as walking and feeding schedules in person and make sure they're comfortable with me beforehand.

About: I have watched family members’ animals and my parents’ dogs while they are gone on vacation. Always made sure they have the love while their people are away! I currently work until 2pm and can easily come to your home and walk your animal or feed if needed. I can also offer weekends! I can easily crate your animal if needed. I can feed, give water, clean litter boxes, or walk your dog if you are unable to or just have a busy schedule!

About: I have loved animals my whole life. There has never been a time I can remember without a pet in the picture. Raised with dogs and cats, and now a corgi mom of two, I have 17 years of pet care experience. I'm comfortable giving pills and following medication schedules, and I'm experienced with bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. As a dog mom, I understand how important it is that our fur babies are cared for and never feel left behind, and that's why I promise to love and care for yours like my own. I'm working from home so I have more time for my dogs, and to step in for yours when your travel plans don't allow pets to come along. Your fur baby won't be left alone for long stretches. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time-flexibility to spend time with and play with your pets! I am able to do check-ins in your home every 2-4 hours on week days and spend larger chunks of time with them (or even overnight) on weekends. If overnight is needed on weekdays, I can work that in with notice. I don't board pets in my home. Instead, I offer house and pet sitting so your pet stays comfortable in a familiar space and on their normal routine. Before any booking, I like to schedule a meet and greet so you can meet me, and so your pet and I can become familiar with one another. It also gives me a chance to learn their routine. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medication schedules, and exercise, and I'll send photo and text updates during every visit. Friends and family have trusted me with their pets and homes for years, and I'm confident I can give you the peace of mind you need when traveling without your fur baby.

About: As a college student studying Zoology, animals and their care are more than a side hustle or a hobby: they’re my world. Apart from my academic coursework in animal care and welfare, I have more than eight years of personal care and volunteer experience with numerous animals, including but not limited to: cats, dogs, horses, rats and mice, hamsters, snakes, various types of lizards and amphibians, goats, chickens, sheep, cattle, and even invertebrates such as tarantulas and scorpions. Rest assured, I’ll never discriminate against your furry pal! I have experience giving oral medication, both liquid and pill, as well as insulin injections and subcutaneous fluids. I also have experience caring for elderly animals — like my 18 year old cat, Maya! I can provide feeding, brushing, hoof care, walking, exercise, medication, play time, turning out, litterbox cleaning and much more! I have a driver’s license and my own transportation, and my hours and pay are flexible. I am willing to drive 60-90 minutes depending on needs. As mentioned prior, I have extensive prior experience volunteering at various shelters, vets and farms assisting with animal care, as well as my own personal experience caring for a diverse array of pets. I am happy to gather recommendations from organizations I work with. While caring for your pet or pets, I will regularly keep in contact with you and update you with both text and photos (if desired), along with keeping a dedicated spreadsheet of feeding/watering/grooming times and overall health to guarantee your peace of mind. I am capable of providing pet care across a flexible schedule. I can provide early care from 6-9 AM in the morning and any time after 4:20 PM on weekdays, as well as 24 hour care on weekends and overnight stays if needed. I am able to care for pets in a wide variety of ways thanks to expensive experience. Walking, feeding, litter-box cleaning, playtime, as well as insulin/subcutaneous fluid injections are all possible. I can also administer medication orally. Daily checkups as well as overnight stays are both possible.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Jacobs Mills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jacobs Mills is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $19 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 1,857 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jacobs Mills. 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 Jacobs Mills. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
