“Madison did a good job caring for my senior dogs and house sitting. Her knowledge and care for dogs was evident. Good communication through the whole process. Highly respectful of my home and followed instructions. I would recommend Madison for your dog.”
“We are very pleased with the care Dannee provided for our 13-year-old Shih Tzu. She provided pictures and updates while we were gone, and it was very easy to communicate with her. I recommend her highly if you want peace of mind while you are away. We hope to book her again the next time we travel.”
“With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”
“I had Sophia come and stay with my digs this weekend. She did great with them and I did not worry at all about my home or my dogs. I look forward to have Sophia symtay with my dogs again in the future. 100% recommend her!!”
“Sam is really sweet & the dogs loved her! Our 2 water bowls were completely empty when we got home. The dogs drank 3 bowls of water and then threw it all up. Seems like the had no water for a while.”
“I have never used a home pet sitter so I was a little worried to travel over 1000 miles away and leave my pet. Jacqui’s daily reports and photos put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation! Typically when I go away and come home, my dog is ecstatic to see me and can barley contain herself. She was happy to see me but not as overjoyed as I thought she would be. This to me proves that she received plenty of loving, along with my other pets. I would definitely use Jacqui again. Thank you for a job well done!”
“Sydney interacted well with our dog, Bella. Sydney was able to provide the care we needed without worry. She provided updates and pictures to let us know all was taken of while we were away. We are hiring Sydney for our next trip.”
About: Hi! I’m Jennifer, and I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their family is away. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including giant breeds like English Mastiffs. I understand the unique needs of large dogs and am comfortable handling them with confidence, patience, and care. I also have experience providing compassionate care for senior dogs, including those who require a slower pace, extra attention, medication support, and plenty of comfort. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s individual personality and routine. I know how important consistency is, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, maintain established routines, administer basic medications if needed, and make sure your pet receives plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets and provide them with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My career is a hybrid position. I am rarely gone more than six hours at a time. If I know that I am going to have your furry, four legged baby, I can schedule accordingly so I can be home a little more. I have a very large yard. We live on 3 acres. Our fur babies passed in December and January, so we do not currently have any pets. I allow dogs on the furniture and in bed, but if that is not something that you do and you would like me not to do that I can respect that as well.
“Amelia took great care of our cats while we were gone. She tackled meds with ease and our cats were happy and healthy when we returned. She sent pictures and gave updates throughout our trip. We will definitely use her again.”
“Cindy was great with my fur babies. She took good care of them. My one is especially needy bulldog. I spoiled him so he is definitely lots of care. I also have a German Shepard that is still young. She left my home clean and tidy as it was. I was extremely happy.”
“Ella was amazing. She was great with our deaf dog and kept all his meds straight. Both dogs adored her and even the grumpy old cat liked her. We got updates and pictures throughout the week. Our house was even cleaner than when we left. Ella was absolutely fantastic and will be our go to Rover in the future.”
About: I’ve been raised with cats and dogs my whole life and really enjoy spending time walking, training and cuddling them. I would care for any pets you have such as birds, rabbits or turtles. Rover is my full time job currently. Day time available, mid day available, evening available, overnight availability, weekends, holidays, or I am able to just drop in as needed. I feel like animals prefer their own environment and I am able to come into your home to allow your pet to feel safe and no stress in your absence.
“Matt did such a great job again! He’s dog sat for us multiple times now and has always done a great job and been very communicative. I know we can trust him to take great care of our dog. 😊”
About: My Golden Retriever, Dutch, loves animals of all sizes! I provide pet sitting in my home and welcome your best friend to stay while you are away. Walks around our quiet neighborhood and trips to the dog park (if appropriate) are part of our pet sitting package. I take only one dog at a time (two if from the same family) to ensure your dog has a special stay while you are away! I work remotely several days a week, and close by and can come home as needed when scheduled ahead. I also have a puppy cam to keep an eye on things while I am away! Lifelong dog mom, caring for other dogs brings me a sense of joy! My home is clean and safe for your dog. I have a field behind me and Dutch enjoys laying in the sun and snow in our back yard. Your dog will be walked daily and can be contained in the back yard if they enjoy being outside. I have references upon request and a long history raising and caring for dogs.
“Kristin is so amazing and we are so grateful to have found her! She loves our pups and takes such good care of w brushing for us! She is a prompt communicator, very flexible, super patient and understanding. I would always recommend her to anyone- she brings us so much peace of mind so we can enjoy our time away.”
“Jessica was so great with our ladies. She was very good at keeping me posted on how everyone was doing with photos and updates! Our house was just as we left it when we arrived back home, and pets seem very happy! Thank you Jessica! We’ll definitely be working with you again.”

Lizzy was absolutely delightful to work with. She was kind and engaging in communication prior to and during the booking. And she was wonderful with our pups. She was so attentive to their needs and flexible in her schedule to make sure that they were taken care of. We are so thankful for her!
We are very pleased with the care Dannee provided for our 13-year-old Shih Tzu. She provided pictures and updates while we were gone, and it was very easy to communicate with her. I recommend her highly if you want peace of mind while you are away. We hope to book her again the next time we travel.

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 Jamestown 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 Jamestown 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 Jamestown 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.
