“Nyla was amazing! This was our first time using rover or any pet sitter and we had the best experience possible. Nyla is a genuine animal lover and it shows. She treated our Ruby as if she were her own. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend Nyla and we will be using her again on future trips to Tennessee.”
“Kim was amazing with our 2 fur babies ! She made it so easy and eased our minds about leaving our puppets at home under her care. Falkor and Seraphina immediately took to Kim and were sad when it was time for her to go home. Highly recommend Kim ❣️❣️❣️🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“We have 3 senior dogs that do best staying in the environment and routine they are familiar with so an in-home sitter is a must. Jayne had stellar reviews and is also newer to Knoxville just like my husband and I. We knew instantly during the meet and greet that Jayne would be a great match for us and our pups. When our trip came closer, Jayne proactively reached out to nail down details. She sent updates when she arrived to the house as well as daily photos. We were over 2,500 miles away in Portland and were able to enjoy our trip because we knew our pups were in Jayne’s care! We look forward to using her again!”
“Angela was absolutely amazing. She exceeded our expectations. We are typically very skeptical of meeting new people on Rover. Our dog is just as picky. He took to her right away and couldn't leave her alone. She communicated with us every step of the way. She sent pictures and updated us as she came and went. She left our home in the same condition it was in when she left. We will most definitely be using her in the future! Thank you again so much Angela!”
“Olivia was great! She took excellent care of our pets and was very communicative throughout our trip. She was accommodating of their individual needs, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We'd definitely book with her again.”
“Tiffany was reliable and kept in touch with me the whole time we were away. She is so sweet with my babies, and they were happy to have her around. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“Anna is wonderful and I am so happy we have found her. She is great with our two puppies and I do not have to worry when I leave the house. I completely trust her and appreciate her help! I highly recommend Anna !!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always had dogs as part of my family. Over the years, I’ve also pet and house sat for numerous families, caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs. My husband and I currently have three dogs of our own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. Since my husband works from home, our dogs are well cared for while I’m able to dedicate my time and attention to your furry family members. I’m available for drop-in visits and overnight stays, and I strive to provide the same love, consistency, and care that your pets receive when you’re home. Having had a few disappointing experiences with pet sitters myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else’s care. That’s why I’m committed to providing dependable communication, treating your home with respect, and making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’ll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and ensure your pets are excited to see me every time I visit. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and, of course, lots of love and attention. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for so they can stick to their normal routine and receive the care they deserve. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or overnight companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never rushed. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, going for walks, or giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and leaving it just as I found it. I’ll make sure doors and gates are locked and pets are safely leashed or contained when needed. I also know how reassuring it is to hear that your pets are doing well while you’re away, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pets are safe, happy, and receiving the same love and attention they’re used to at home.
“Lindsey made me feel super at ease as a first time Rover user. I needed someone to house sit as well as pet sit and she made sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! When we arrived home the house was clean and the pets were happy! Highly recommend.”
“Emma was fantastic! We have five dogs and two cats and I was nervous about leaving the Country for a week. We definitely have a house full and Emma handled everything professionally and treated our dogs like her own. She was very communicative and set pictures often. The house was tidy when we got back and all of our pets where well taken care of. We would 💯 hire Emma again.”
“MaShon is an amazing pet sitter! She is so kind and thoughtful you can really tell she cares about your pets! She is also a great communicator before, during and after your reservation. We couldn't be happier with her services and would absolutely hire her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of my fiancés parents dogs for 5 years! I love them to death! They have nine dogs that range in ages from puppy to senior. I have done everything from administering medication to the basics. When they go on vacation I am who they trust to watch their animals. I can care for all animals even farm animals and I would love to care for yours!! I do currently work a full time job and my schedule is very scattered. However I work early hours and am usually off by 1:30pm. But I would love to watch them after work/ on my days off. I do not mind fitting your animals into my schedule. I love animals and do not care to take time out of my day to care for your fur babies!! I currently cannot care for animals in my own home, I am very sorry. However I do not mind caring for them in yours as I will treat your home just like mine, if not better!
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a kid. I've pet-sat for a few years outside of Rover, in addition to having a dog of my own and one frog. I also volunteered at an equestrian therapy center for a few years, where I took care of the horses and the barn cat. I work part-time at my other job 4-5 days a week. I am most available in the afternoon and evening. However, my work schedule is flexible with advance notice! I mostly do overnight pet sitting with clients outside of Rover, but I also offer drop-in visits and walks. I can fit in at least 2 drop-in visits or walks into my daily schedule. I want to make your pets feel safe with me! My goal is to temporarily blend in with your home and not disrupt your pet’s usual routine.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jefferson City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jefferson City on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 414 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jefferson City. 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 City 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 City 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 City 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
