About: I have three years of pet-sitting experience caring for local families’ and friends’ pets, five pets of my own, a flexible schedule, and a genuine love for spending time playing with and caring for animals! Sunday–Wednesday: Fully available for pet care! Thursday–Saturday: I work from the early morning to the mid-to-late afternoon, with breaks for visits if your pet is local. I have two dogs, three cats, and a fenced-in backyard. I also have an entire floor to myself within the home, allowing me to separate pets safely if needed.
About: Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, hamsters, and more, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s unique personality, needs, and routines. In addition to personal experience, I’ve worked for the AKC, which gave me an even deeper understanding of canine behavior, care, and communication. I’m especially attentive to pets who may need a little extra patience or understanding, including seniors, anxious pets, reactive dogs, or animals with unconventional routines. I also have firsthand experience managing separation needs in my own household, so I understand how important structure, safety, and individualized care can be. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, cuddly, anxious, or somewhere in between, I pride myself on creating a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where they feel safe and cared for. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I have two dogs of my own, so my days are structured around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, enrichment, medications when needed, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Because I genuinely love animals, caring for pets never feels like a chore to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and prioritize. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, consistency, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also very mindful of maintaining routines that help animals feel secure and reduce stress while their owners are away. I always tailor my care to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain the pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, litter box care, medications if needed, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection and companionship. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially when their owners are away. I’m very attentive to body language, behavior changes, and overall comfort, and I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and low-stress environment. I also understand that some pets need extra patience, space, or structure, and I’m experienced with anxious pets, shy cats, senior animals, and pets with unique routines or separation needs. Communication is also very important to me, so I make sure owners receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind while their pets are in my care.

About: I started pet sitting in 2012. My SGT had a Cane Corso and I absolutely loved her so I watched her whenever I got the chance. I have also watched pets of family and friends throughout the years and volunteered at an animal shelter when I could. I have worked with many dog breeds including Dash hounds, Labradors, Chihuahuas, Cane Corso’s and Cavaliers just to name a few. Work schedule- Tuesday to Saturday- 4:00am to 9:00am. I am available all other times since my college classes are currently virtual. I will update my schedule when before I start a new semester. While my wife is featured in some photos I will be taking full responsibility. We have six pets all together. Two cats and four rabbits. We keep our rabbits in a separate room. When it comes to dogs our cats are not too comfortable around them so our cats will be upstairs. Our cats have been fine around other felines before but if yours are not then ours will stay upstairs. We make sure all pet children are fed properly and always have fresh water. We have plenty of toys and a big yard for them to roam and play. No pets are left unattended outside. Our cabinets are childproof so no pets can get into them and our plants are all pet safe.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 598 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Jefferson Crossroads. 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.

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.
