“I have never felt so comfortable leaving my fur babies behind. Dakota made sure that they were well cared for and comfortable. She kept me updated and worked hard to make the transition as easy as possible. Highly recommend!”
“Kerry was amazing. She was quick to respond. We set up a meet and greet. She has lots of experience with dogs and stayed in communication with us including pictures. This was our first time using Rover and once we found the right person, we felt at ease leaving our dog in her very capable hands. We would definitely recommend her and hope to get to use her again.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats in home settings. I’ve watched dogs for multiple days, including both weekdays and weekends, handling feeding, walks, and maintaining their normal routine. Occasionally watched over more than one dog at a time. I also have experience with watching cats and ensuring they are taken care of multiple days at a time. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine. Since I work full-time during the day, I’m best suited for pets that are comfortable being alone during work hours and thrive with consistent morning, evening, and overnight care. My goal is to keep your pets safe, relaxed, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I work full-time during the day, so I focus on providing reliable morning, evening, and overnight care. My mornings and evenings are structured and consistent, which allows me to stick closely to your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and attention. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and can spend additional time with your pets while maintaining their schedule. I keep my calendar organized and only take on a limited number of clients to ensure each pet receives dependable, consistent care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, and care instructions carefully to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I provide morning and evening care, along with overnight presence when booked for house sitting. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean while you’re away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, relaxed, and well cared for.
“This was our first experience with Bryan. Throughout the whole process Bryan was extremely professional and caring. He made it a point to get down on our pet's level to help them feel comfortable. He sent several photos and videos which helped us enjoy our time away. We will defiantly be reaching out to Bryan again for future house sitting needs!”
“Great to have watching over my cats. One of my cats is a senior while the other one is young, she was able to take care of both and send me updates on a daily basis on how they are doing. Will definitely book again in the future”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Megan and Vincent! This was our first time using their service, and we couldn’t be happier with the care Molly received. They kept us updated while we were away by sending pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We also came home to find our home left in perfect condition. It was such a relief to be able to relax and enjoy our time away knowing Molly was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and attention they gave her and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies!”
About: Taking care of animals is the best thing in the world. I have worked on farms for several years with equine, dogs and cats. I'm a cat mom, but walking and taking care of dogs has been the best job ever. I've walked all types of dogs from the smallest to the biggest, from puppy pit bull to old lady poodle and everything in between 🥰 For me animals are everything! Pet care is my main daily focus. I have an open schedule and very flexible hours and availability. Don't hesitate to reach out. I am confident we can make it happen. I offer walking and taking care of pets in the client's home. What exactly I'll help you with depends on what your pets need. Need someone to come and go, or someone to stay all day, or overnight (Friday through Sunday)? Do your pets need meds? Do they love lots of cuddles? 🥰 Whatever it is, I'm there for it! Because it's all about the animals!
“Damien is SUCH a fabulous human. The extraordinary care he gave towards my fur babies warmed my heart. He went out of his way to text me pictures and updates on how things were going. I absolutely plan on hiring him again! Thanks! Sarah”
“Zana was great! We booked her for overnight pet sitting for our 2 dogs. She made sure they were never alone for long, spent lots of time playing with our very energetic pup and sent lots of cute photos during her stay. Our pups loved her and when we got home they acted like we'd never been gone. We have already rebooked Zana for a future trip.”
“Wendy was absolutely fantastic! She was very accommodating, attentive and willing to go above and beyond while house/dog sitting! I would not think twice about using Wendy again to watch the pup!”
“We left our lab at home with Sydney for a out of town wedding we were gone from Thursday - Sunday Sydney was Awesome with our Gilbert & spent so much time with him we appreciate her help so much and couldn’t be more grateful!”
“Lindsay did a great job watching my dogs in my house while we were traveling. She checked in dauly with updates of the dogs. Took my more active dog to her house while she worked for more enriched supervision and also kept my older dog happy and on routine. I look forward to working with her again when we travel.”
“Gervon in a tremendous Dogsitter. He was communicative, kind, and attentive. He accommodated the medical needs of our pets, too. He even cleaned the sheets before he left! We highly recommend Gervon.”
About: Myself and my family have had dogs and cats for decades, I come from a line of dog breeders and have lost track the number of dogs I have trained and taken care of. I cannot board for longer than 12 days at a time. I work IT and can WFH when required. My cats go between my X and I so when they’re not around I can give them plenty of attention. I can’t board for longer than 12 days I’m very loving and active. I will spoil them rotten and give them plenty of attention should they need it. My cats get along great with other cats and dogs if you’d like them to have some company.
About: I have had my own dogs in my life - for over 35 years, both small ones and large ones. I learned to obedience train my German Shepherds and they were always welcomed wherever we went. Most people said that they would love to come back as my pet. I am currently working part time and have ample time to attend to your dog. I can have a dog overnight in the evenings and most weekends. My home sits on 3 acres with lots of room for your dog to run. Ill take your dog on nice walks. In my home, your dog can roam freely or I can crate your dog if you like.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years, mainly helping my neighbors with their dogs and cats. They’ve always trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and look after their pets whenever they were busy or away. I’m comfortable with different personalities — shy, energetic, older, or puppies — and I always stay patient, calm, and attentive to what each animal needs. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I take their safety and comfort seriously. Your pet will be cared for as if they were my own.🐾 I’m currently in a hybrid nursing program, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Most of my coursework is online, so I’m able to devote plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I can easily adjust my availability to fit your pet’s routine. I have one friendly pet at home and a secure yard that’s great for fresh air and playtime. I maintain a calm, safe environment and follow each pet’s routine closely. Whether hosting or coming to your home, I prioritize safety, gentle handling, and clear communication so your pet always feels comfortable and cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jarrettsville
Kerri and her husband are one of a kind! They're amazing people and treat my baby girl Ellie like their own. Ellie loves playing with their pups and kitties. She gets to run around, play with toys and gets in a good nap or two. She is so tired when she gets home that she won't get off the couch! Just what we love!
Corinne did very well with my 2 senior dogs. Both are on medications & one has anxiety/panic attacks. While away, there were both thunderstorms & fireworks. I checked in with Corinne, & she said my anxious dog was just shaking some but was sticking close to her. I filled out index cards with various instructions, & Corinne was confident while reviewing them. She also was confident when my husband showed her how to use our independent generator if needed. We both liked Corinne a lot & were happy we connected with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend her.
This was our first experience with Bryan. Throughout the whole process Bryan was extremely professional and caring. He made it a point to get down on our pet's level to help them feel comfortable. He sent several photos and videos which helped us enjoy our time away. We will defiantly be reaching out to Bryan again for future house sitting needs!

FAQs for House Sitting - Jarrettsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jarrettsville on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,673 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jarrettsville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Jarrettsville 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 Jarrettsville 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.
Tip: 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 Jarrettsville 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jarrettsville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
