About: With over 20 years of experience caring for animals, I provide reliable, loving care for pets of all kinds. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks, with a secure fenced yard and plenty of attention for every pet. As the owner of three large dogs and a cat, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My home is pet-friendly, family-oriented, and focused on making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Regular updates, photos, and personalized care come standard with every visit and stay. 🐾 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is staying in my home, needs a drop-in visit, or is joining me for a walk, I make their care a priority and ensure they receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I work hard to accommodate each pet’s individual needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. 🐾 Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on providing a safe, loving, and stress-free experience. In my home, pets enjoy a secure fenced yard, plenty of supervision, playtime, and affection while being treated like part of the family. In your home, I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and lots of attention, helping them stay comfortable and happy in their familiar environment.

About: I have been working with animals since I was 18 years old. I have several years of work experience with pet care, including veterinary medicine, boarding & daycare, and even pet grooming (baths, nails, ears, anal glands). I am very comfortable with cats and dogs of any size and temperament. I will even show special love and care to senior pets! I am more than happy to offer services throughout the week as well as the weekend. I am available as early as 6 am and can adjust how late I stay based on what you’re needing. I can care for your pets in the exact way you’re wanting. If they need more activity, I’m happy to offer playtime. If they are more low energy and like to lay around, I’d show them special love and attention in a relaxed manner such as cuddle time.
“Jade is fantastic! She took care of my lovely dog Maple for 4 days of Labor Day. She sent me photos of my baby everyday and checked in with me often. I will definitely be hiring Jade again!”

“Rylee recently stayed overnight with our rambunctious Aussie! She was wonderful! Prompt, great communication and most importantly Finn approved. We will definitely be looking to Rylee for future sits.”


About: Hello, my name is Kim! I am a former vet assistant, and current wildlife biologist with extended experience caring for critters of all kinds. I have worked in vet hospitals, kennels, as well as private homes caring for both cats, and dogs. I have extensive experience administering daily medications both oral, subdermal, and injectables like insulin I pride myself in making the process as stress free as possible which means treats, and pets. I'm also experienced in walking dogs of all shapes, sizes, and activity levels so no need to worry about you pup not getting enough exercise! I'm more then happy to take them out for a long hike with plenty of photo updates for you! I am currently only working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of you precious family members weather it be walking and exercising you dogs. Or entertaining your tiny feline overlord, preparing a feast for you reptilian regent, partying with your parrot I'm prepared for it all. With dogs I am more the happy to take them out on hikes as well as out things to places like private dogs parks to let them get all the sniffing and fetching out of their system. Before any pet sitting occurs I'd love to sit down and chat with you about your pet kids and what needs it is you would like for me to fulfill while you are gone to help keep everything as stress free as possible for both you and your pet. Along with more special needs if your pets need them like medication administration and the time frame of when it need to be administered, or things such as diet restrictions. If there are multiple pets in the household how feeding times go if pets are ok with being fed together or need to be separated or observed during feeding times.
About: Over the 10 past years, I have been able to build amazing bonds with my furry clients and their owners. I started pet sitting when I was 14 to show my mom responsibility and that I could take care of a dog on my own (it took 5 years to convince her btw). My mom agreed to it, and my classmate dropped off Leo, a 7 year old Shitzu, at my house and it was the best week of my summer break. Since then, I have cared for puppies as young as 8 weeks to seniors up to 17 years. I have been able to keep loyal and consistent clients because of my trust and honesty, but also because I am able to adapt to each pets different personality and energy. I have experience with all types of dog breeds from chihuahuas to pitbulls and yorkies to labradoodles, as well as cats since 2020! I treat every home with respect and every animal as if they were my own. My main goal is to keep them happy and in their normal routine for meals, walks, and medications, as well as providing peace of mind for owners. Message me with any questions or to set up a meet and greet 🐾 I'm currently in my last year of college and am on campus Monday - Wednesday. I'll have plenty of time to spend with your pets and I'll be looking forward to having new study partners 🐶🐱 I ask about and respect boundaries they have for the home. I keep pets in their routine as close as possible. If a feeding or walk time interferes with a class, I communicate with owners to let them know. I like to ask questions and then schedule a meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit.
“Excellent and attentive care. Super responsive to my frantic texts because I’m a worrier. Such a kind and caring person. Highly highly recommend and will hire again!!!”


“Liberty has stayed with our kitties several times now and she is always consistent! Our kitties know and love her now and my husband and I have such peace of mind whenever she’s with them! She is very communicative and we know they are being taken care of! Highly recommend!”


About: I love dogs and cats too, I got into dog - sitting when I first moved to Georgia and my neighbor went out of town I watched her dog while she was gone and have been dog sitting ever since. I love going out and walking dogs and playing with dogs. I make sure they feel like they are loved and with their owners when I watch animals I love making them even little treats and dinners. Also if you have specific thing your animal eats then you can count on me to make sure they have a good healthy meal, I also am good about giving them their medication. I understand how people love for their animals as if they were their children and I totally get it. You worry about them and want to make sure they are taken care of well. I myself even hate the thought of my animal being alone for over a long period of time because of work or school.
“Gina was responsive when I reached out and my pup seemed happy when I returned home. House was clean and tidy so no complaints there. Didn't really have a whole lot of communication while I was away so am assuming all was good!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am new to sitting for Rover. I haven been sitting dogs /homes since I was a teenager. From playful pups to gentle seniors, I’ve had the joy of raising and looking after a variety of breeds.

Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy nap in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every dog like family, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work fully remote, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and potty breaks—plus any feeding, medication, or special care instructions you provide. For dog walks, I ensure each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk to burn off energy, I always keep their safety and happiness top of mind.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I understand that each pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own—with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away.

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 Jefferson 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 Jefferson 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 Jefferson 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.
