About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently have a 9-year-old cat and a 3-year-old dog, along with years of experience caring for friends’ cats. I’m especially comfortable with small dogs and cats and will treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands! I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to check in on your pets on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends. I'm also available on evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I know how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with your pet and your home. I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and make sure they have everything they need before I leave. I’m happy to provide photos and updates throughout each visit.

Joshua has been amazing with out 70lb & 120lb German Shepherds! He was ALWAYS punctual if not 5min early and stayed longer than the booked 30min to sueprvise our dogs' cooldown period after playtime. He followed all instructions on vitamins/medication to the T and went above & beyond to ensure that our fur babies lack nothing over 9 days! He brought his own treat bag to every visit including the Meet & Greet and instantly made 2 new furry friends for life! He is a pro with the camera and kept us up-to-date with pictures of every visit, including some amazing action shots of our "flying dogs". Huge plus: Joshua cleaned up potty accidents, swiffered and took our trash can to the curb. We certainly appreciate the immaculate work ethic and care that he showed in taking care of our furry family. 100% will recommend to anyone looking for pet carr. 100% will book again. A+ on all accounts. My husband and I could not be happier. Joshua is welcome in our home anytime!

Genevieve has been great with my 2 dogs on her drop in visits over Thanksgiving and Christmas. My old Schnauzer can be territorial but let her in with out incident, after bribing him with some cookies. My other jumped the barrier when she came back he was so happy to see her. Great job and will look to get in the future when needed.

Joanna did an amazing job! Our cats are both on special diets and she didn't bat an eye at having to cater to their specific needs. I received updates when she arrived and left, pictures and a summary on how each visit went. She even noticed and cleaned up an accident one of them had even though we were returning that afternoon. I highly recommend Joanna and will definitely be using her again when we go out of town!

About: State pet adoption CEO hired me! Many years of experience with dogs, cats, hamsters, sugar gliders, and other pets. Reliable. Integrity matters! Fostering experience. #pickme Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I plan my schedule to ensure pets receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. Whether it's walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply providing comfort and care, I make pets a priority and enjoy incorporating their needs into my everyday activities. The only time I’m not available os Sunday mornings (church-my husband’s a minister). I care for pets in their own home by maintaining their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I provide lots of attention and companionship and do my best to ensure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.

About: I grew up on a 100-acre ranch with 13 dogs, so caring for animals has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. I helped raise numerous litters of puppies, which taught me everything from feeding schedules and socialization to house training and keeping a close eye on the little ones. Today I regularly watch my friends’ pets and care for my grandparents’ two dogs — feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Dogs are my favorite people, and I treat every one like my own. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home the majority of the day and your pup will rarely be left alone. My schedule is flexible, which means plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and sticking to whatever routine your dog is used to. The house is quiet and calm, which works well for dogs who prefer a low-key environment. My home is a safe, pet-friendly space where your dog is treated like family. We have a large fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to run, play, and sniff around safely. I have a mini blue heeler of my own who’s great company for social dogs, and I’m happy to keep visiting pets separated if yours does better solo (only have her occasionally). I stick closely to the feeding, medication, and walking routine you provide, keep dogs leashed on every outing, and send photo and video updates so you always know how your best friend is doing. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m comfortable using one for rest or bedtime.

About: I've been a dog mom to multiple pups over the years. Plenty of time spoiling them and taking them out on adventures. Sadie and I love hiking and kayaking, or just strolling through the neighborhood. I currently work from home and make my own schedule, so I can easily adjust it to your needs. This leaves plenty of room to hang with my sweet dog and hopefully yours as well. I have a fenced yard and a sweet shorkie that would love play time with your sweet dog. I can keep them separated or allow them to play depending on your comfort level.

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. I have a dog park and walking trail at my apartment. I have a dog wash and would be happy to bathe your dog before their return. I have a 4 year old golden retriever who is well-socialized and loves to make new friends. I also make homemade dog treats :)

About: Welcome to your baby’s home away from home 🫶🏼 I work remote, and can tend to your babies 24/7. My home is quiet, cozy, and safe. Pets will be guaranteed cuddles, walks, play time, and/or whatever else you need. 😊 I’m an animal lover through and through, and have taken care of countless pets—from dogs and cats, to horses and livestock (which I owned and cared for over 17 years). 🐎 I am experienced in medication administration, behavioral management, and animal de-escalation in case of emergencies. My nearest vet is also just 5 minutes away. 💗 I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. They are sweet and enjoy friends but can surely be separated if your pet(s) need their own space. Thank you for considering, and I hope to meet your babies soon! I work full time remote, with highly flexible hours. I am able to tend to your baby 24/7 if needed, without distractions or other obligations. When I do leave, it’s typically just for short bursts of time. I have a 1200 sq ft duplex with an unfenced yard. I take multiple walks each day and would be happy to bring your pets with me. My home is equipped with dog and cat toys/supplies. My local vet is 5 minutes away in case of emergencies. My home stays quiet, calm, and cozy. I’ve seen pets of all kinds fit right in here. I do have 2 dogs and 1 cat. They love other animals and friends, but I can separate them or crate your pet if needed. I’m comfortable administering medication, hand/bottle feeding, and even injections. Happy to accommodate your animal in any way they need.

About: Since I was a young girl, I have always been fascinated by animals—particularly dogs. I begged my parents to get me my first pet—Jasper, a rescued Labrador retriever—at age 7. Taking care of Jasper was my main focus as well the odd assortment of fish and hamsters we had. When Jasper passed, and I graduated high school, my next door neighbor had a litter of golden retriever puppies. I was ready to have another animal, and that’s when Kensie came into my life. Kensie was my soul dog, and she passed away two years ago. We did everything together—going to dog parks around town, Zilker park, and even red bud (before the algae), and going to dog-friendly establishments in Austin. She was my best friend. Unfortunately, her last few months on earth were extremely challenging. I was up with her three to four times a night (sometimes more), administering multiple medications, and helping her stand/walk. When the time came to say goodbye, I could barely make the decision to let her go. I miss her so much, but because of my current living situation, don’t have the opportunity to get another dog. That’s where Rover comes in. I love animals, and am extremely responsible when it comes to taking care of someone’s pet. This will give me my ‘fix’ and also be a productive side hustle for me. It will be an honor to walk//watch your pet. I will give the very care and concern I gave my own pets. Not only have I had my own pets, but I have experience with a variety of breeds—including catahoulas and boxers. As mentioned above, I have extensive experience working with senior dogs and administering medication. I’m currently in a transition phase in my life, and am looking for something productive and rewarding. I have pretty much limitless availability to cater to whatever your dog may need. At the moment, I can’t accept any dogs into my home, but if given the opportunity to stay at a client’s house, I would follow all instructions given while simultaneously respecting the space and showering your dog with love and attention.

About: As a kid I was taught responsibility by caring for our horses, cats, dogs, birds, fish and guinea pigs. I’ve had pets all my life! My mom’s cat almost died of a bacterial infection in her mouth and I’ve helped administer antibiotics to her until she got better. I had a cat who had kidney disease and needed to have IV fluids every week. My other cat had to be mouth fed with a syringe as well as monitored via thermometer up his butt. I have house and pet sit for friends and family that have multiple pets, most recently for a friend that had 6 dogs of all sizes! I am an active individual so walking will be a treat for them and me! :) I have given dogs and cats baths and also cared for dogs in heat. I have a very open and wide range of availability and I am available most days, including weekends and holidays as I rarely ever go out of town. It would be great to develop some long term relationships with new pets and their owners! Repeats are always great but not expected. I will do what I can to work with your schedule and the needs of you and your fur child. I will do my best to maintain consistency and high-level care when it comes to your pet. Each pet is different and I try to get to know each one individually in order to gain their trust and yours and provide the best care possible. Often times, I will send pictures to the pet owner, especially if it is a new client or a pet owner is out of town for an extended amount of time. I am easily reachable and try to communicate clearly about wants, needs, and scheduling. I prefer to do a meet and greet prior to providing a service, but it is not mandatory, especially for last minute bookings! We have a small yard in front and neighbors that will walk their dogs but they are all on leashes and well behaved. We live in a newer and safe community and I often take my dog for a walk around the neighborhood. There is a small park down the street which is nice too. We also have a fenced in backyard which can be seen from the inside of the house or the porch. We live in a one story house, but there are steps from the porch to the yard outback. My husband lives with me and has also grown up with cats and dogs. We currently have one male cat Santiago who gets along great with our male Chihuahua Juan Pablo and also got along great with my former senior Maine coon cat. He is a bit weary of strangers at first, but he will just hide until he gets to know you a bit and then you won’t be able to get him off of your lap. We have a gate in between the kitchen and the rest of the house so that the Chihuahua can have free rain to walk around and not have to be in his cage when we are not home. In the event that we have another animal in the house we can keep the Chihuahua in his cage. We also have two bedrooms and two baths that can be used to separate animals.The Chihuahua is very friendly and gets along great with the cat. He is also a bit skittish at first with strangers but once he gets to know you all he wants to do is give you kisses. He is very non-aggressive and barely ever barks. He is also very friendly. I feed my cat both wet and dry food twice a day in his food dish and he has water out constantly. I feed the dog twice a day, sometimes dry food, and sometimes refrigerated dog food. I let the dog out several times a day and we go for a daily walk as well. I clean the kitty litter box once a day. I snuggle and cuddle with both of them as much as possible, and play fetch with the dog at various points throughout the day.

About: I have plenty of experience caring for and walking dogs. I've been a dog owner my entire life and I volunteer at the local animal shelter once a week, which has given me lots of hands-on time with different breeds and sizes of dogs. I'm currently a college student at Hutson tiltson university in Austin, Texas who does online and is available mostly every day and can do any service !. I would Be patient and calm with pets that are withdrawn or scared. Pets are sensitive to change and may be missing their people; maintain their schedule as much as possible. When the pet are feeling comfortable, send pictures to the client, letting them know you're giving them extra attention.

Awesome pet sitter. I've used him for both dogs and cats. Brought packages in off the porch, put trash bin back so HOA didn't fine us, and went above and beyond to make sure animals are safe and healthy while we are gone. One of my cats is older so I wanted someone to set eyes on her daily to make sure she was ok. Will use Joshua again when needed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Jarrell on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 3,895 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jarrell. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jarrell stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Jarrell. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
