“Elizabeth was fantastic! She was available on very little notice. She stopped over to meet my pups, she was very professional and her communication was wonderful. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you for taking care of our babies.”
“Celeste was so sweet! We felt very comfortable having her watch our cat while we were out of town. She was super accommodating and we loved the photos that she sent us. We will definitely book with Celeste again.”
“Ashley took care of our cat, made sure her little box was clean and food and water were full. She was great with communication, and let us know how our cat was doing via a detailed description and pictures.”
About: I grew up around dogs and cats and love all furry friends! Love giving pets, scratches, and playing with furry friends. And most importantly… cuddling! I’m currently working on getting my master’s for social work so I only work part time and go to school online. I’m available on weekends and most of the day on Tuesdays and Fridays if I don’t have to drop off/pick up my mom from work. I am very attentive with pets, giving them attention, pets and cuddles. I work with autistic children so my reflexes are quick and I am always paying attention!
“Jennifer was great! Responsible, good communication and kept good care of our dog through check-ins while we were out of town. I would defy recommend her!”
About: I know firsthand that pets are family—I love my own senior dog, Bleu, with my whole heart, and I will bring that exact same devotion to your furry family members. Having grown up with dogs, cats, and horses my entire life, I am entirely comfortable with all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being highly reliable, dependable, and flexible. I am fully available during weekends and holidays, making it easy to accommodate your busy schedule and give you total peace of mind while you are away. Every pet has unique needs, and my goal is to make my time with them the absolute best part of their day (my dog and I love our routine!) I believe walks are about more than just exercise. I make sure dogs get to stretch their legs, do their business, and safely explore the world through plenty of sniffing. Thanks to my extensive experience with multiple positive reinforcement and clicker training sessions, I practice calm, reward-based interaction to keep your dog feeling safe and confident. Whether I am visiting a dog or a cat, your pet will get my full, undivided attention. I always make time to play with them using their favorite toys and follow their exact home routine. I work 8am-4pm, Monday through Friday with all federal and state holidays off. I have full availability most weekends and holidays (even during Mardi Gras). I follow all clients’ directions whether entering their home or on walks. I will crate the pet if requested and cleanup any accidents or the litter box. I will always double check that all gates or doors are locked while leaving.
“We can't say enough good things about Nycole. Our diabetic, kidney-compromised, 15 year old cat, Wylean, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, has been on a feeding tube since early November with a whole litany of medications. Nycole, a skilled and longterm vet tech, was able to give truly incredible, exhaustive care to Wylean for days, both during this latest stay to see my parents (my dad was and still is in the hospital for a broken hip) and during Christmas (to see my mother-in-law in hospice). Her three times a day updates were like something a seasoned vet would make, and Wylean was markedly better when we returned than when we left. She has gained the better part of a pound over the last month, and I credit Nycole for at least part of that. We will always be grateful. If we could leave one hundred stars, we would. A combination of empathy, high skill, talent, and an obvious, deep love for animals makes Nycole the best. Anyone hiring her is lucky, and we only hope we can hire her again for future trips. Thank you thank you thank you, Nycole!”
“Amazing and kind and fun! Highly recommend! Doc’s write-ups and check ins are so thoughtful and enjoyable to read. We look forward to hearing about our Sprinkle’s adventures with Doc!”
“Thank you so much! I really appreciate the thoroughness and the kindness and the prompt visits! I will definitely be requesting you again when I have to go out of town!”
About: From tiny wiggle‑butts to slow‑strolling seniors, I’ve walked them all. No boarding — just real NOLA care for dogs… and yes, our lovable cats too. Pet care blends right into my daily rhythm. I shape my day around my walks, from sunrise pups to evening seniors, with time for our sweet cats too. I do not offer boarding services at this time for either cats or dogs. Check back again later for this specific service. Thank you kindly
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 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.
“Michelle is absolutely wonderful. My pets adore her and she is nothing but professional. She has been extremely accommodating of my schedule, which varies wildly, so I could not be happier to have found her. Your pets will be perfectly cared for!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jefferson
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)
Ethan came over as promised and gave my outdoor kitty his food and water. My ozzie is shy so didn't show up until the night I returned from my trip. But I know he's at neighbor's house and yard. I really appreciate the pictures that Ethan sent me and he took care of my mail too.
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.
Piper went above and beyond to make sure my pet was well taken care of. She is exceptional and really makes sure they feel happy and safe! She also sometimes stays a bit longer than what is expected and is available short-notice and never makes you feel like a bother. Absolutely awesome! 🤩
Laine did everything I asked of her for my kitties in a way that opened my eyes to new methods of expertise. I’d like to give her a high recommendation on her level of care. I knew my kitties (that turn 1 yrs old this month btw) were in great hands. Thank you, Laine 😸
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Jefferson is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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 1,187 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 Jefferson. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
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.
