“Jenny did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. We would absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life. I had my own dog sitting and walking business from ages 14-19 and then stopped dog walking when I adopted my first dog. Now, we have 3 dogs, and I would love to help other families with their fur babies! My husband and I work full time but will be available on weekends. We also can provide services in the late afternoon/evening. My husband and I will both be assisting, and will make time for you and your babies! I work remotely 2-3 times a week. We’re best able to assist with boarding, on Fridays and the weekends. We can dog walk on the weekends and evenings. During the weekday, our availability is more limited given our full time jobs. We can care for a few dogs at a time, if you are comfortable with it! If not, let us know and we can limit our care to just your pet! We have a large, fenced yard! We also have 3 friendly dogs of our own! They are our family! We are respectful of other people’s homes and their family members.
“We had such an amazing experience with Samantha, and we truly couldn’t recommend her more! Not only did she make sure our cats were happy, well-fed, and loved, but she also watered our plants! 🪴 She always included the cutest pictures in her updates which always made us smile! We even came home to printed photos of our cats along with a kind note—it was such a thoughtful and personal gesture that meant a lot to us! 🥹 If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly kind, she is absolutely the best. 🙂”
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life! I used to work for a pet store but I now work at a veterinary office! I’m currently working full time at a veterinary office but I am free most weekends to stop by and check on your fur babies! 🐾🩷 I love my cats as if they are my own children, so I will make sure to treat every pet as if they were my own!
“Diana was wonderful with my pup! He gave her a bit of a hard time going outside at first since he’s used to only going out with me, but she was patient and he quickly warmed up to her. She kept me updated with great communication and sent pictures the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. I’ll definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much, Diana!”
“Tammy takes great care of my cat! This is the second time that I booked with Tammy and she continued to do an excellent job. She is very communicative and is a genuine animal lover who goes above and beyond.”
“Rebecca's five star treatment of my pups was incredible. If you want someone reliable, trustworthy and keeps you updated, look no further. My dogs absolutely adored her and I will be definitely utilizing her services again for the future.”
About: I work at a pet care facility and take care of many different types of dog and cat breeds. Ever since I was a kid I knew I wanted to devote my life to taking care of pets and wildlife. Now that summer has started I have more free time on my hands and I want to spend it caring for dogs and cats! I work full time caring for dogs and cats but I am definitely available throughout the week on days I don’t work. I like keeping busy and this is the best way to do so! I am very comfortable caring for pets in my home and my clients home. I moved down south from New Jersey so i do not have any pets at home currently! So there is no issue with me having dogs or cats to care for!
“I used Rover as a last minute decision to board my cat while we moved from one home to another. Stephen(and his fiancé) were awesome! They answered questions i had prior without any delay. When i arrived to drop my cat they gave him his own space. They loved on him like he was their own so much that I’m not sure he wanted to leave with me. I was updated with pictures daily and I knew he was in good hands! We will definitely reach out in the future for vacations or whatever comes along!”
About: What sets me apart is my background in veterinary medicine and animal care. I have over five years of experience working with animals and currently work as a Veterinary Assistant and Customer Service Representative at an animal hospital. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including seniors and those requiring medications or extra attention. My experience allows me to recognize changes in behavior, monitor for potential health concerns, and provide attentive, compassionate care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine due to having a structured schedule that allows me to reliably plan around animal care. I work Monday through Friday from 3–9 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM–1 PM, which leaves me available in the mornings, evenings, and Sundays for consistent pet visits, feeding, walks, and check-ins. I’m very organized with scheduling, allowing me to ensure each pet receives care on time and maintains their normal routine. In my client’s home, I care for pets by keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided, and I pay close attention to each pet’s normal behaviors so I can quickly notice any changes in appetite, mood, or energy. Creating a calm, familiar environment by respecting the pet’s space and allowing them to interact on their own terms is my priority, especially for more shy or anxious animals. Communication is important to me when it comes to my own animals, so I provide updates to owners so they feel confident their pet is being well cared for while they’re away.
About: 🐾 Hi! I’m Devon — Your Pet’s New Favorite Caregiver! 🐾 I’m a passionate and experienced pet sitter with 9 years of hands-on pet care experience, and I absolutely love what I do. I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all sizes and personalities, from playful pups to cozy senior dogs. I’m known for being reliable, communicative, and loving — and I always treat every furry guest like family. Whether your dog needs fun playtime, regular walks, or comfortable boarding while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and well-loved. I’ll send updates and pics so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re apart. ❤️ I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I’m currently working full time but my work schedule can be flexible. I do work remotely but I do sometimes have to leave for work. I try not to be out to long if I do need to go out. I do have a fenced in yard with no other fur babies or my own. I go off of what the owner does for their pet at their own house.
“Aimee was great! This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel super comfortable by stopping in for a quick visit with myself and the puppy. During her visit she sent lots of pictures and was prompt with her arrival time. Will use her again!!”

About: Throughout my teen years, I’ve taken care of many pets; from training my puppies to caring for relatives’ pets. No matter the circumstances, I always have a fun time caring for these pets. I’m on the hunt for a part time job so I’m available all the time to care for pets! What better to do than doing something I love? I have three dogs at home and big yard but as we warm my dogs up to playing with others as part of their puppy training, we’ll keep your pets in your home.

Wonderful human! Extremely timely, polite, and kind to our pets. Really cares about the instructions for pet care. Communicates daily send cute pictures. She really spent quality time with my pets, including one who was ill. Made a huge difference in the comfort of being away. Thank you so much.
I’m not sure Yaniera can do any wrong. She’s so reliable and helpful. At this point, she’s my cat’s Auntie. The pictures and short narratives she sends of Baby when I’m away let me know my cat feels loved and safe. Additionally, she’s brought in mail and packages that were visible and at my door, preventing theft. If you’re thinking about going with another sitter, don’t. Choose Yaniera. So grateful!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,312 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Jefferson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
