“As my first experience with April caring for Nova, I am already at ease. I am very particular about my pup and I can already tell I’ve lucked out with April. Thank you! 💜🐾”
“Excellent pet sitter! She was always on time, flexible, and genuinely caring. My pet is on a temporary medicine and she helped with administration with the same care as if it were her own pet. Her expertise was evident, and she even went above and beyond by giving my pet a get-well treat at her own expense. Highly recommended!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Julia! Fitzy and Javi are extremely shy, fearful, and apprehensive around strangers, so I was very nervous about leaving them in someone else’s care. Julia went above and beyond to spend extra time with them, earn their trust, and make them feel safe and comfortable. She was always responsible, punctual, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I could tell she truly cared about my boys and treated them as if they were her own. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter, and I cannot wait to book with her again in the future! Fitzy and Javi say, “Thank you, Julia! We hope to see you again soon!””
“Lindsay is a reliable cat sitter, spending good time playing with our pet along with the feeding and litter work. My shy cat warmed up to Lindsay pretty quickly, she was very patient in coaxing him out of his hiding spots.”
“Colin is so great with our growing puppy. He helps keep his consistency and schedule. He works on behaviors and tricks with him, takes him on walks and makes sure he gets lunch! Colin is an all in one amazing dog sitter!”
About: Being a dog owner for 15 years, I know how hard it is to find good care for your pet when you are away. I am happy to fill that void.

About: My whole life as long as I remember I was the biggest pet lover. I had my own pets and I’ve taken care and walked the dogs of my neighborhood. I just love them. I work part time, which gives me a lot of time to do my favorite thing: pet sitting!!! I work part time and have a lot of time for my favorite hobby which is caring for these lovely creatures. I have a fenced in yard and I love walking in the woods with the doggies. I have a fenced in yard and I walk the dogs three times a day. My 2 lovely dogs will keep your dogs company. I will make sure they are spoiled.

About: I have grown up around animals my entire life and know exactly what it takes to keep a home running smoothly and pets feeling completely safe and comfortable. I currently work a highly flexible local schedule in media and production, which means my calendar is wide open for dedicated drop-in visits, overnight housesitting, and checking in on your place exactly when you need me. I pride myself on being incredibly reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. Whether it's keeping a strict feeding schedule, making sure the litter box is pristine, or just providing some great company and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. I'm always happy to send quick text and photo updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away! I work a flexible local schedule in media/radio production, which gives me excellent availability throughout the week and weekend. Because my hours are highly manageable, I can easily accommodate early morning check-ins, late afternoon or evening drop-ins, and dedicated overnight housesitting. I structure my days to ensure that your pets are always visited right on time, giving them consistent care and a regular routine while you are away. Safety and respect for your home are my highest priorities. When performing drop-in visits or overnight housesitting, I strictly follow all security entry protocols, double-check that doors and windows are locked, and keep the space completely tidy. I maintain a safe, calm environment for your pets by adhering exactly to your feeding, medication, and care guidelines. You can expect frequent photo and text updates so you know your pets and your home are in secure, responsible hands.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015. I have looked after a whole range of health and abilities, including a diabetic cat who needed insulin injections, and a dog who needed eye drops! I’m an early career art teacher hoping to spend some well-needed time with furry friends afterschool and on weekends. I also take lots of pictures :) I am sure to be extremely respectful of your home and space! I love learning how you do things and doing my best to replicate it. My hope is for pet parents to rest assured knowing their babies are in safe, experienced, and loving hands.
About: We love all the doggies!!We have had dogs most of our adult life ❤️ We have experience giving insulin and a special diet if needed. I am available to drop in at your house to feed, walk or play with your loved one while you are away or working! Update~ 12/14 I’m retired and looking forward to helping fellow animal lovers, as animals are my true passion ❤️ Retiring soon from corporate America looking to help out fellow dog lovers while they are away !

About: I’ve owned pets since my daughter was young and brought her first kitten home. I’ve been helping her to walk dogs for a couple years now. I’m retired so my schedule is fairly open. It gets me walking and outside, two things I enjoy. It helps my health and makes me feel good. Happy to walk your dog! Cannot have pets stay at my house as I have a kitty cat of my own. His name is Toby and he’s a real pain in the butt! 😂

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 Jefferson 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.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 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.
