“Christy is fantastic to work with. She is reliable and a great communicator. She is friendly and professional. She is very loving with our dog and we know he is always in great hands with her!”
“If you missed my 6 star review, after Natalie’s last visit with the pups I would raise it to seven stars! We made a very last minute change to our itinerary and she was able to accommodate us. As always she takes great care of our pups and leaves the house immaculate. Lots of communication, check ins and pictures. It is wonderful to have found someone who is so responsible. I almost hate to have to share her. You can’t go wrong having her take of your pets!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have cared for them in their senior years with love and respect. This included giving medications, caring for incontinence and overall creating an environment that met their sometimes, seemingly to the outside world, over the top needs. But, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to make their lives a little better and as comfortable as possible. I’m a stay at home mom and housekeeper so I have a flexible schedule Monday through Friday between the hours of 9am to 3pm. I currently care for one family’s 5 dogs about 10 days a month. So I can take helping a a few more families. I am currently available to do drop in visits and walking of your pets at your home. I am a very cautious and detail oriented person so if I’m caring for your pet I will be as diligent about keeping them safe during walks and outdoor time as I am with my own.
About: There's never been a time in my life when I didn't have a pet - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. I've helped take care of friend's and neighbors pets while on vacation since I was a teenager. We recently had to say bye to our dog, Bateman, of 13 years and as much as I'd love to welcome another pet into our lives, we're just not ready yet, but we'd love to show some love to your fur babies! We have a big, fenced in backyard and we are attached to a park that's great for walks, so I'd love to see Bateman's space put to good use. My husband and I both work from home and I don't have a set schedule so I can be flexible and available throughout the day. I also take daily walks at the park attached to our neighborhood, so I'd love to have friend to take along with me for some exercise. We have a 7-year-old son and 15-year-old daughter who both love animals and will be more than happy to love on your fur babies. I used to have my own little escape artist at home, so I'm very cautious when opening doors to ensure no one gets out unless there's a fence or they're on a leash.
About: I've been providing house sitting and pet care for the past three years, caring for both dogs and cats while giving owners peace of mind when they're away. During that time, I've looked after pets of all ages, including senior animals and pets with medical needs, so I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions and maintaining their routines. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own home, and I treat every home and every animal with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so you can travel knowing your pets are in good hands. Pet care is a meaningful part of my daily routine. I make time each day to provide attention, play, feeding, and care to ensure pets feel comfortable and happy. I am able to work pet care into my schedule by prioritizing consistency, communication, and making sure each pet receives the time and attention they deserve. I provide pet care with a focus on safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. I have a cat of my own who I spend plenty of time playing with and caring for, while making sure his needs are always met. I keep my home clean, organized, and free of hazards, with anything potentially unsafe kept out of reach. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect their space and belongings, and treat their home and pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: I am a veterinary technician with over 30 years of experience working with dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, pocket pets and some large animals. Animals have been part of my life since i was a little girl and I love giving them the best care! . I am punctual and trustworthy. I will take care of your babies like they were part of my family. **THE PRICE FOR MY OVERNIGHTS INCLUDES 1 MIDDAY DROP IN** I can take care of your pets anytime during the day or night. I will spend time to make them as happy and comfortable as I can while you are away. I provide walks if needed to give then the exercise they need, or play time in your fenced in yard. I will spend time giving them snuggles and love. If you have cat(s), I will clean the litter and spend time with them to make them feel comfortable and at ease.
About: I've personally worked with a professional dog trainer, a doggy day care, and a pet store, so I have various knowledge when it comes to how to interact, play, treat, walk, watch, and love your dogs. I also have personal experience with seniors, puppies, special needs and x-large large dogs. I also have much understanding and experience with cats and kittens as well I'm currently Part-Time, which means I will have more time to watch over and love on your babies. Weekends and holidays are no problem either. I believe (and have experienced it with my own pets) that pets are more comfortable in their own home, and that's why I offer to come and house/pet sit in the safe haven that is your house. Your pet will get treated, and spoiled, as if they were my own
“Murray was wonderful! Delightful to work with. Excellent with communicating. Very attentive to Nala’s needs, especially as they cared for her during very intense heat. I would give my highest recommendation over and over. I’m very grateful for the care Nala received.”
“Elise was amazing! She helped with daily drop in visits for about 5 weeks, and was awesome the entire time. She came over for a meet and greet beforehand and Bia loved her! Elise was super communicative and took so many pictures for every visit. I definitely recommend Elise for any doggie needs, and will definitely request her again if ever in the area! :)”
About: Lover of all pets, especially big dogs! I have never known a home without a dog. Bully breeds and rescues have a special place in my heart. We currently have one lovable special old pitty at home. I am very comfortable with administering medicine, assisting with lifting the pet up, or in to a couch/bed. I will walk as slow or fast as they want. I personally miss having a pet that I can walk with ( our old guys isn’t up for that this days) and would love to take yours on a walk! I work remotely several days a week and have availability on most weekends and evenings. I work remotely several days per week and can often sneak out for afternoon walks. I am available on some evenings, in between kid activities as well as weekends. I would treat any pet like they are my own. Nice walk at their desired pace, talk to them, refresh water and give a treat. Whatever they need!
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 35 years and cats for 11 years. I’ve taken care of hermit crabs, Guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, turtles, rats, goats, chickens, pigs and ponies. I have a part time jobs with summers off and have time to tend to others pets. I am available to border on weekends and potentially weekdays with a reasonable notice. I have 2 friendly dogs and animal loving kids to keep your fur babies company. I can crate your pup if need be and have a lead in my yard to keep them safe from running off! They will never be left out alone. I’m a school bus driver so I am home and available most of the day. I’m only away from home for 2 1/2 hrs at a time so pets are not left unattended for long periods of time! I do not have a fenced in yard but I do have a lead in the yard that your dog would be on when not on a leash and being walked when outside.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats and small farm animals for 12 years and I have a vet assistant certification from Animal Behavioral College. Experienced with med administration, puppies, rescues, and senior dogs. I’m currently home full time - basically my daily and weekly routine is to care for my animals and garden at home. I do travel out of state occasionally to sit for friends and family I’ve worked with over the years. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs to keep your fur baby company and active. A senior Great Pyrenees and a year and a half old mixed breed that love to run around and chase each other and balls in the back yard. My cat is very used to dogs and puppy play dates, and I’m able to crate your baby if needed.
About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.
About: I have had a dog my whole life learning to take care of her from a baby till now old dog. Taking her out early in the morning and late at night. Willing to do what is best for the owner and for the animal! I will make sure the animals are always feed and taken care of. I have had dog sat before for different families many times with small and big dogs. I am very comfortable staying at the house and taking care of the needs of your animal.

I have a fenced in yard and we have two super friendly dogs to keep your pup company! They're great for play time or couch cuddles, whichever your pup prefers!
About: Dogs are my passion. I've always had dogs in my house growing up. From taking care of neighbors, to past teachers, friends and widespread family, people know they can trust me with their furry friends. In 2019 I started professionally walking dogs, and explored pet sitting. I worked with a variety of different animals, from day to day, and over night! I have experience feeding (Free and timed), giving oral/topical medication, bathing/brushing, walking, and lastly giving LOTS of love and affection to your perfect pup! Dogs always come first in my line of work! Pet care is something I truly enjoy and make time for outside of my full-time work schedule. I work during the weekdays, but I have open availability all day Saturday and Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and boarding needs. My weekends allow me to dedicate my full attention to the pets in my care, providing plenty of playtime, companionship, exercise, and personalized care. I have over 5 years of experience in pet sitting and boarding, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I strive to make their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible. I believe pets do best when they can stay in a familiar environment with the routines, care, and attention they are used to. I provide detailed updates after every visit or walk, including information about their behavior, activities, meals, bathroom breaks, and anything important I notice. I take pride in caring for each pet down to the smallest detail, whether that means following specific instructions, maintaining their schedule, administering medications when needed, or simply giving them the extra love and attention they deserve. My goal is always for both pets and owners to feel safe, comfortable, and confident while they are apart.
About: I have 3 fur babies of my own and they are my kids! Pets are what I believe make the world go ‘round. They are always excited to see you after a long day and no matter if they got into the trash or chewed up a shoe you cannot help but love them. I have always treated everyone’s pets like my own. When I visit the first thing I do is go pet the dogs/cats! I am a huge animal lover as well as my significant other. I am currently available days, evenings and weekends and would like to go full time with pet sitting or walking. I will be having a baby so for now I am looking for part-time or vacation sitting/walking. The care I provide to each dog/cat will be based off of the needs of the dog/cat. I have experience in giving medicines as well. I will be willing to take care of your pet just as you would if you were home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Jacobus
Christy has been wonderful. We met her 4 months ago as we were looking for someone to do weekly walks for our dog while I'm in the office, and she has been amazing! Our dog loves when she comes, and both our cats even come to greet her - she provides them treats so of course they love when she comes over, lol. She has been flexible with our schedule, ensures appropriate adjustments when weather is not ideal, and ensures all of our pets have sufficient water and love. We are so grateful to have found her. Thank you Christy!
Murray was wonderful! Delightful to work with. Excellent with communicating. Very attentive to Nala’s needs, especially as they cared for her during very intense heat. I would give my highest recommendation over and over. I’m very grateful for the care Nala received.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,518 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Jacobus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Jacobus. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Jacobus.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jacobus. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
