“We are repeat customers of Kimmie because she is simply the best! She takes such wonderful care of our dogs, Maya and Carter, and truly treats them as if they were her own sweet little fur babies. This trip was especially difficult for us because both dogs had recently undergone surgery, and we were understandably anxious about leaving them. Kimmie went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, loved, and well cared for while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and photos, giving us tremendous peace of mind. It means the world to know our pups are in such compassionate and capable hands. We couldn’t recommend Kimmie more highly and will absolutely continue trusting her with our precious dogs. Thank you, Kimmie, for loving Maya and Carter like family. ❤️”
About: Last minute requests accepted. Current ranch-hand and wrangler of two years, former dog groomer who grew up with every animal from your dogs and cats to horses to camels, sheep, goats, kangaroos, to birds and reptiles. I have worked with anyone from the the skiddish cat in the corner afraid of a leaf to the hard headed stallion fighting to be with the closest mare, so I’m very familiar with and confident in both anxious and strong willed personalities! I grew up horseback riding and helped my family a lot growing up with pet sitting as well, and with my experience dog grooming, am confident I can keep your family member as safe and comfortable as possible with their loved one away. Most people describe me as gentle, studious, and deeply attentive. As a former groomer I know how to deal with anxious dogs through the terrifying stages of grooming keeping them as comfortable as possible, through bathing, drying, and cutting fur professionally, even on animals who did not want to be there at all - I picked up a lot of skills in how to calm dogs in those states. I have experience in cats as well, having owned, raised, rescued, traveled with, and being a cat person myself, I’m familiar with both skiddish and aggressive cats and love all. I am happy to bring all that I’ve learned from my experiences now as I join Rover! When I’m in between seasonal ranchwork, I am available generally anytime for housesits, so last minute requests are welcome and accepted! I totally understand needing to be out of town for emergencies, much needed holidays, and among the plethora of twists and turns life offers us, and for that I am more than willing to help. I do primarily housesitting stays, and I can accommodate for most needs in house. Can administer oral medication as needed, can help train or keep up with tricks, and can bring pets to vet in case of emergency. Communicate your needs and I’ll be happy to work with you on them!
“Karla took great care of our dogs and our place. We greatly appreciate her help as we urgently needed care for our furry family members when we had to respond to an emergency out of state. Thank you!”
About: I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and some reptiles. I also have experience caring for plants, so all of your living babies will be safe with me! I’m well-rounded, patient, and will treat your babies as my own. I have shadowed at a vet clinic and interned at a 24 hour animal hospital. I also took veterinary classes in high school, and helped out in the grooming facility at the school. I’ve always had a pet at any given moment throughout my life. I even cared for 9 dogs at one time! I am available to house sit and care for your pets full-time! I’d like to keep visits and walks between 8am-7pm. Send me a message! :) A typical day includes making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I start with feeding according to their routine, fresh water, and a potty break or litter check. Throughout the day, I provide walks (if applicable), playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection always tailored to your pet’s energy level and personality. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and mood, and I follow any specific instructions you leave. I also make time for quiet rest so pets don’t feel overstimulated, and I’m happy to send updates or photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Linda did a wonderful job of caring for our pups, loving them and ensuring they were comfortable. She sent cute pictures of each of them enjoying their outdoor time and ensured to clean up the small yard of their doggy poo which was not expected. Plan to use her again in the future as she lives close by! Thanks for your help Linda!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience with medications and other special needs your pet may have. I love loving on dogs and love to enrich their time with bubbles or other activities like sniff and seek. The dogs will hang out with me, go on walks twice daily walks, play bubbles or play fetch, or swim if your dog is interested! We also love naps in our house and overall have a great time.

“Tabitha was amazing! I had to leave for a family emergency and she took the best care of my pets and house leaving me stress free! Continuous updates with pictures every morning afternoon and evening with updates throughout the day! Her communication is top tier!”
“Such a smooth experience! Nathan was so accommodating from the meet and greet, to making another trip just before booking to get all the details, and he provided excellent communication! We were able to get away and enjoy leaving our 3 fur babies (2 cats and a dog) in Nathan’s care six days. He loves his job and takes it very seriously will definitely be using Nathan’s services again! Thank you Nathan, we appreciate you and are so thankful you made everything go so smoothly!”

“Makaelah was so easy to work with and took exceptional care of my Gidget as well as my house. Gidget is older so she requires a little more care than other dogs, and Makaelah stayed on top of everything, making sure to give me daily updates and photos. I came home to thriving plants that had been watered according to my instructions, a house that was just the way I left it and a happy pet. Would definitely use Makaelah again and recommend to anyone looking for a top notch pet and house sitter.”
“Kristina took exceptional care of our three dogs from December 26th through January 3rd, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From day one, her communication was outstanding — she consistently sent thoughtful updates, along with plenty of photos and videos that truly put us at ease while we were away. It was clear that Kristina genuinely cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She made sure they got plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, taking them on regular walks and frequently to the apartment dog park so they could relax, play, and keep their routines. Seeing how comfortable and happy they were in her care made all the difference. Beyond the excellent pet care, Kristina was incredibly respectful of our home and followed all of our requests closely. We returned to a clean space and, most importantly, three very happy dogs. We highly recommend Kristina to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate sitter. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation.”

Thanks Kate for taking care of our fur babies! They were well taken care of, as was our home :) Kate was very considerate in so many ways and she was always anticipating our pups’ outside needs in between bursts of rain. We felt very comfortable with trusting her with our dogs and our space. We would love to have her again! :)
Magen did a great job with my two Teacup Yorkies. She went above and beyond and was very attentive to their needs. I would definitely ask her to look after them in the future. They were ecstatic to see her each day. Thanks for making me feel at ease knowing my pups were in good hands.

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 Jarrell 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 Jarrell 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 Jarrell 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!

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 .
