“I had a last minute work request, and Elizabeth came through at a short notice and was fantastic! She is very well versed with adjusting to puppies and different breeds, and my Juni was more than happy to have Elizabeth. She sent detailed updates- which I more than appreciated as it helped calm down my nerves throughout my time away. I am so pleased with how flexible and accommodating Elizabeth has been (especially as this is my first time using Rover) and would highly recommend her for your pets!”
“August was great! I completely messed up our dates and they were so kind and accommodating. We really lucked out. We came home to a happy dog and a well cared for house. Thank you again!!! 💜💜”
“There’s nothing better than coming home to your dog after a long trip especially when he’s calm and relaxed because he was well taken care of. Juan allowed me this joy. It was the first time I’ve used him and Romeo took to him right away. Juan updated me daily and was responsive to messages. He also left my house in great condition. Thank you for taking care of my baby. We’ll be seeing you again!!”
“She's amazing. Very punctual and professional. Got along great with my dog, and took excellent care of my pet and my living space (including some cleaning!) 10/10 couldn't recommend more strongly.”
“Oriana was absolutely amazing with our dog Daisy! Daisy can be reactive and needed several medications and Oriana handled everything perfectly. She sent regular updates and many pictures of Daisy which we loved to see. And she left our home spotless! We will definitely ask Oriana to watch Daisy again and recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“We booked for Christina for house/dog sitting over the weekend and had a great experience. She sent daily updates of our dogs and left our house in great condition. We'd definitely book with Christina again.”
“Michelle was really great. She was prompt and clear when communicating with me. She sent pictures and updates through out each day. Most importantly she was understanding and patient with ME as I explain in detail a lot of what my dogs need. I have a 13 yo and a 13 month old, both labs and each comes with some very specific handling needs especially around feeding and walking and Michelle was open to letting me communicate these needs. Her care and attention to the dogs' needs helped me relax on our vacation. I will definitely be asking her again to stay with the dogs. Thanks Michelle”
“Jeanette did an AMAZING job taking care of our dog. We were gone for 10 days and I was worried we wouldn’t find anyone as responsible as she was. She was very loving and patient with our elderly dog. She has never been left with anyone but family before so I was worried about our dogs stress level. (Mine too). Jeanette sent pictures every day with a review of what they did that day. I would give Jeanette my highest review and would love to have her back when we go out of town again. She was an absolute dream. I can’t thank her enough for everything that she did for Channing and for me. She allowed me to enjoy my trip and not stress about my dog. She made all the difference in the world. I would give her 10 stars if I could.”
“Amelia was very communicative and did a great job watching our dog and cat. They were super well cared for, and we appreciated the photos every day. Amelia was also very respectful of our home and left things clean and tidy when she left after the visit. We really appreciated the help and would book again.”
“Raven was an angel for my Lola — I didn’t have to worry at all despite being out of the country. She was proactive, calling our vet when she noticed something that concerned her while I was in another time zone. Very grateful for her dedication, and detailed updates! I’ll be hiring her services again very soon. Highly recommended!”
“This is the second time we’ve booked Cindy, and will continue to do so. She provides regular updates and photos and takes excellent care of our dogs (and even helped out with the geckos and fish!). She’s extremely courteous, and respectful of our home. Thanks Cindy!!”
“Kaylie was fantastic with the girls. She was responsive to messages and was very communicative with how everyone was doing and it made being gone much much easier. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Molly did such a lovely job with our Bailey! She was super communicative and on top of everything Bailey needed for the weekend. I’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Sissi was great about helping us out at the last minute when my 99 year old mom had to stay in the hospital for another day. She was responsive, prompt, and flexible, as well did a great job with our beloved English Setter boy while we were at the hospital. Sissi is just a very kind, caring person too.”
“Svitlana was great talking care of our house, plants, one dog and one cat. Things went really well overall, just a few little miscommunications but some of those were 100% our fault. Everything was left super clean, and she managed medications for both pets as necessary. Would definitely book her again if schedules align.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jefferson
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog and house sitter! She took wonderful care of our home and treated our dog with so much love and attention. She was responsible, thoughtful, and communicative, and we returned to a happy dog and a well-cared-for home. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone.
Kelley was so great with our three dogs (two of which can be quite a handful!) and also amazing at communicating with me and sending pics throughout her stay. She was also a perfect house guest and went above and beyond. The dogs clearly loved her and we have already talked about rebooking!
Amelia was very communicative and did a great job watching our dog and cat. They were super well cared for, and we appreciated the photos every day. Amelia was also very respectful of our home and left things clean and tidy when she left after the visit. We really appreciated the help and would book again.
Joanna was wonderful! We were able to do a phone call before the stay, and she arrived early for the stay so that we could walk through our pets’ routines! She was friendly, provided lots of updates, and took excellent care of our cat and dog. We were lucky to have her stay with our pets in our home and look forward to having her again!
Tasha did a wonderful job with our 2 young puppies. We requested house sitting while we enjoyed an evening out to ensure our puppies were kept on a potty schedule and to keep them from being crated too long before bedtime. Flynn and Toffee are happy to see Tasha and Mike when they come to visit. They play with them, keep them engaged, and send pictures to capture their time together. We came home to tired puppies which is a key indicator of a successful evening. We look forward to Tasha's next visit with our boys!
Trisha took care of our 3 pups while we were away and did a great job! They got playtime and/or walks everyday. She was able to walk our big guy @120lbs and knew when it was too hot for our Frenchies to go out on a walk. She seemed to have no problem juggling the different needs of the pups. I got daily reports with pictures which gave me a lot of assurance I was leaving my dogs in good hands!
Emily house-sat for my two dogs and two cats for 3 nights/4 days, and she is the absolute best. I’ve been through many “more experienced” sitters who just didn’t give my pets the love and attention I expect, but Emily went above and beyond. I’m relieved to have finally found someone I can trust with my babies. She was extremely communicative, flexible, and kind!
We had a great experience! Zosha took great care of our dog while we were away, sent us updates, and was very communicative throughout the weekend. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing our pup was comfortable and had someone there with him. He also took amazing care of our house and left everything absolutely spotless, exactly how we left it. We really appreciated it and would definitely book with Zosha again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Jefferson is $72 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $38 and $94 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 9,918 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jefferson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
