“Once again Renee did a great job with our German Shepherd. She really makes sure he’s taken care of, not just fed and watered. She responds quickly and communicates with every visit. Feel completely comfortable leaving the dog at home.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, providing daily exercise, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or a calm environment for senior pets. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. As a teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills to every pet-sitting experience. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and cared for while creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher, I have a structured schedule and plenty of flexibility during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I enjoy being active, so daily walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and attention. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or overnight care, I make sure every pet receives reliable, consistent care and feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home or my own, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and bathroom breaks while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until their family returns home.
About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner for years and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive and patient, and I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a potty break, playtime or some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. And you can definitely expect photo updates! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m keeping my service area close to home so I can be dependable, punctual and give each pet plenty of attention without rushing. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions carefully. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to doors, gates and leashes, and will make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’ll also send photos and updates during each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Highly recommend Cortney for any drop-in needs! She checked in on our kitten while we were out of town over three days, and did a wonderful job keeping us updated, sharing pictures, etc. She is a great communicator, trustworthy, and very thoughtful in her messages. We will use her again in the future!”

About: I have experience caring for young dogs, including feeding, basic training, and keeping them active and safe. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog with love and attention. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with cat or dog. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 3 At the client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine, give fresh food and water, clean up, play, and make sure the pet feels safe and relaxed.
About: I’ve taken care of friends, neighbors and family’s dogs and cats over the years and absolutely love all animals! My dog Toby is my baby, so I definitely understand how to care for people’s pets like my own. Any special instructions or details will be handled carefully! I work part time in an office and part time from home so I have the flexibility to drop in and do walks in the middle of the day. I follow all care instructions to a tee. It’s important for your animal to feel as little disruption to their daily schedule as possible. I’m happy to do a meet and greet prior to booking!
About: I adopted my traveling friend's cat, Zara, for a year and a half before my friend moved back home during lockdown. Zara and I moved a few times in New Orleans, but she adjusted to our home perfectly once we were settled. She snuggled me everyday and was patient with me while I worked in the service industry. I have also cared for ducks, chickens, two older pigs, and a parrot while one of my friends left the city (New Orleans) for her birthday vacation. During this same week, I cared for my disabled friend's blind cat, shrimp tank, goldfish, and two neighborhood cats she tends to. Even though these friends lived on opposite parts of the city, I split my time snuggling with the furry pets and attended to all pets who had medication or special needs. My love for animals has expanded to animals I never thought I'd get to love on! I hope you can welcome me as your pet caretaker while you are away from home. I'm currently working as remote tutor with students from around the world! I'd love to fill my time loving on pets who will enjoy a safe and calm environment while I teach the youth English. I would love to invest full-time into sitting so, I can focus on my private clients as I progress in my new career. I have extensive experience with disabled and abused pets. My care is specialized for all pets, but the ones who need a little extra care have somehow come into my life and never left my heart. What I offer can be healing for your loved furry family and also for me. I enjoy connecting with all animals, but have a deep love for the furry ones if you need a trusted sitter to give them the same love you would!
“Can’t say enough about how pleased I am with Laura’s service! I received prompts notifications about when she was going to see Blue and received pictures with every visit! I could tell clearly that Blue had a great time each day when she was visiting! Knowing that Blue was having a good time every day made it so much easier to be away on my work trip. I will absolutely be rebooking her again on my next trip!”


About: After my family dog of 15 years passed away, I would love to be able to put that love and energy into another pet. My apartment complex currently does not allow pets, so I would love to be able to help care for someone else’s! I currently work full time, but go for walks nearly every afternoon. I’d love to let a sweet pet benefit from one as well! I currently do not have pets of my own, and am unable to in my apartment, but would love to help anyone with theirs as much as I can. Depending on the pet I’m taking care of, i will take care to drop in with the care and respect your home and your pet deserve.
About: It is with great pleasure that I offer my service as an outstanding dog walker and pet sitter. I bring professionalism, reliability, and deep love for animals to assure that your fur baby will always be treated as one of my own while they are in my care! I have spent decades caring for multiple dogs of every breed, size, age, and temperament, from energetic puppies and high-drive working breeds to senior dogs with health and mobility issues, as well as many anxious rescues. I consistently demonstrate calm competence combined with genuine affection. I have a keen understanding of canine body language and can sense subtle stress signals quickly, thereby allowing me to adjust playtime, walks and routines accordingly in the moment. Whether providing daily neighborhood walks, longer adventure outings, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I treat every dog as a special individual and am therefore able to offer them affection, love and support while maintaining a firm “leader of the pack” demeanor. I am retired and spend my full time at home with my 8 year old super friendly Brittany, Scout, going on long walks and to the dog park. I have had 20+ dogs of all sizes and breeds, from puppyhood through old age with various infirmities, and I want to dedicate my time to helping my clients feel 100% secure that their fur babies are being cared for as they would be at home with their own family! All babies get free run of my home, are allowed on furniture and I am always well stocked with toys, treats and various beds for lounging, should they so prefer. I have a large, fenced, shaded backyard and a doggie door so dogs have the option to go out any time but I also spend a lot of time outside under the gazebo watching them play.
About: I have always loved dogs growing up we always had 2 dogs at a time. I have my own dog now and he is my everything. I love to go on walks, go to the park etc. just like the dogs do! I work from home so while I do take meetings during the day, I will still be able to give your pet the attention they deserve during the day. I have a dog as well so even if I am in a meeting, my dog is very playful so he will keep your furry friend company I have a fenced yard and one pup that will keep your dog company. He is very playful and loves other dogs. If you would like to crate your dog I have a crate for them or you can provide your own.
“Melissa was responsive, communicative, and so good with my cat Jeffrey! I could relax on vacation knowing that he was getting affection and food from a trusted person. I will absolutely use Melissa again!”
About: I've been pet-sitting, both drop-in and overnight, for dogs and cats since I was 15. I took care of my family's elderly dog for the last year of his life, and I have cared for a wide range of breeds. As a college student, I miss my pets back home (two cats), and I love all animals I encounter as if they're my own. I've administered daily medicine to several different breeds of dogs and cats. I have also watched 8-month-old through 14-year-old dogs, all with different daily needs for walks, playtime, and food. I do not have special training for puppies, but if they need a part-time friend or temporary roommate, I'm there (and also all other ages, of course). I have my own car, no allergies, and a deep love for animals! My college classes are from 9 am to 12 pm, so I am always available in the afternoons and never away for more than 3 hours at a time. I will have vacation breaks or exam days, but overall, I'm incredibly available. I care for pets like my own toddlers. They have autonomy, but don't really understand the world the same way adults do and can't use the stove. They need love, attention, and proper exercise, and that's my job. Cats and dogs are dependent on their guardian for their health, and I ensure their enjoyment and a high quality of life.
About: I grew up in an animal loving home and have had them as pets since birth. Since I can remember, I have been the one friends and family have called on to care for pets, young and old, healthy and injured. I have fostered and owned dogs with dog aggression issues and have a special place in my heart for these often misunderstood souls. I am comfortable walking with them and have the physicality to maintain control and safety. As an avid walker, one of the best joys in life is walking side by side with a canine companion. I believe in taking care of animals like children, with love warmth, attention, cuddles, positive reinforcement and boundaries. I have had the pleasure to raise 3 dogs from puppyhood until their elder life cycle and am very comfortable with aging doggos and those with special needs. I also work part time in a grooming shop, so I can get your baby squeaky clean and beautiful for you. I am currently working part-time in a grooming shop a couple days a week and I work from remotely from home part-time. Saying that, my schedule is very open to spend time with animals. I live within walking distance of City Park and walk almost daily. I have open yard that is not fenced in but I have temporary fencing that I can use for dogs who require more outside time than lengthy walks. I have several crates that I can setup for dogs that need them or if you don't want to transport your own. I follow the owners lead if dogs are allowed on furniture, but if so, they are welcome to cuddle on the couch. I prefer that dogs sleep in their own bed, one of my loaner beds or a crate. I will honor the owners feeding schedule as to make the transition easy for everyone. I do have 2 cats in the home who have grown up around dogs their whole life and are generally ambivalent to them. I send daily photo updates and generally treat your baby as my own while in my care.
About: I have been doing in-home pet care services (walks, drop-in, overnights, transportation) for 4 years, and I have cared for dogs and cats since I was a very young child. I grew up with pets and have had my own personal pets throughout my adult life. I have also volunteered at ARNO (no-kill animal shelter) & have vet tech experience (East Riverside, NOLA). I am currently not working, but am hopeful to have a job soon. While I do not have an outside job, I do have commitments throughout the week, so at the moment I have a lot of time for pet sitting :) I will care for your pets however you prefer. Whatever your needs and wants are, I will respect them. I was brought up with very good manners, so I respect other people's things/homes. I clean up after myself and will respect any rules you may have for me while in your home.
About: I am a pet owner and a animal lover. I have experience with caring for dogs as well as cats. I own a Rottweiler, everybody should know how high maintenanced and how high in energy they are. Knowing that I can handle him with no ease, caring for your dog will be a beeze!!! I have worked with many animals and I am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. Growing up I've always volunteered at many animal shelters. I am an energetic undergraduate student at Jackson State University with a flexible schedule. I live with a family of five who also love pets. Your dog will get plenty of excercise. I am very flexible especially during the weekends. BOOK ME, I look forward to meeting your pets! Because I have the responsibility of making sure another dog is cared for! Enough food, water and necessities! I go above and beyond for dogs because they can’t talk to us so why not be attentive to them in every way possible I care for pets as if they’re were my own. I would expect the same care and attention for my dog from others if I were not around so I have no choice but to provide that to others dogs! Dogs/ cats are the greatest gift we could ever have asked for so I believe in treating them with love and care.

Our furbaby Izzy used to board in a petsitter's home (who's also a friend) for years with his brother, Oscar. But Oscar passed and Izzy had stress colitis staying in her house and refused to eat her kibbles. Because of that, we made a hard decision to let Izzy stay at home with drop-in visits 3X a day rather than have 24/7 care in our friend's house. We've tried Izzy stay home in the past but only for 4 days, this trip was extended for 15 days and I was really worried. I told Amanda that she might still get sick so watch if she's eating and if she gets diarrhea. I also had 3 cameras on so I can check on Izzy whenever I want. We told Amanda about the cameras and she was ok about it and even moved the chair to face one of the cameras so we can see Izzy getting love. Amanda gave me detailed status every single visit including how she acted, if she ate, and her bowel movement until about the 4th or 5th day when I was confident that she was doing well and the regular end of the day update will suffice (I still got the per visit rover card). But Izzy was acting funny one morning so Amanda updated me right away which I truly appreciated. I had her give Izzy her back-up food in the freezer but, fortunately, she was fine after one day. If you have a fussy old little pup, you should hire Amanda! She talked to my pup and had her trusting her by about the 3rd day. She also played and gave Amanda some kisses which she hardly gives to strangers! I was so happy my girl stayed safe, healthy and ate the whole time. Amanda also taught her to use the puppy bed that Izzy didn't use in the past! And oh, Amanda even picked-up our mail daily and had them organized between mail and mailers (that was so extra! :-) ) Until next trip!

Payton was phenomenal! Great to work with, fully trustworthy, showed up at the requested times and went above and beyond what I ever expected. I honestly think my dog was disappointed to see me and not her when I got home. There isn’t enough stars to show I much I appreciate Payton and her service. Will use her again!! (If not my dog may run away to go find her)

Mitchell attentively cared for my dogs over a hurricane weekend. He was very dependable, trustworthy, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were safe. The gate blew open and he contacted me immediately to let me know he resecured the gate so the dogs would not escape. He showed up on time and performed tasks efficiently. I appreciate and trust Mitchell with my pups.

I work long days and Hannah does daily drop-ins for my two dogs. She's consistent, on time, and I get updates every single visit so I'm never guessing. Both dogs are happy to see her, which tells me everything. If you need someone dependable on an ongoing basis, she's it.

Sarah was great!! This was the second time she watched our pets (1 dog, 2 cats and a fish). She checked in on them multiple times a day, sent us updates, and followed the detailed notes we left her. We felt like they were in such great hands that we could actually enjoy our trip without worrying about if they were getting the care we needed. We'll definitely book Sarah next time we travel!

Mimi was absolutely amazing in taking care of my dogs and cats! She went above and beyond in keeping my informed. She also went out of her way to make my fearful dog feel safe - and they were best friends by the end of the sit! She also handled the medication for my senior dog twice daily. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in Mimi's care and I had total peace of mind the entire time. I will definitely book with her again, and I can't recommend her highly enough!
Jennifer was great with our dog while we were out of town. Such great details every visit and I felt at ease knowing our dog was being loved. She went the extra mile as well picking up a mess he made chewing up a toy. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing care for their furry family.

It was a wonderful experience having Karen walk my dog. She was great and trustworthy.she sent me pictures and videos on their walk which I was so happy to see. She was patient and spent extra time with my dog so he was comfortable since it was their first time. Will definitely be using her again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Jefferson is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,139 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Jefferson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Jefferson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
