About: I have always had a strong passion for animals and have taken every opportunity to care for and support them. Over the years, I have provided reliable dog and cat sitting services, working with a variety of breeds and sizes. Growing up in a home that always included pets has given me a deep appreciation for animals and a natural ability to care for them with patience, attention, and love. I would love the opportunity to provide your furry companion with the love, care, and happiness they deserve. I have a very flexible schedule and am currently available at a variety of times. With clear communication regarding dates and times needed, I will be able to promptly confirm my availability and ensure I can meet your scheduling needs. Every animal is unique, and I tailor care routines to best fit each pet’s individual needs and schedule. I believe clear communication is key to creating the perfect care plan for your furry companion. I always prioritize dedicated playtime and, depending on the pet, provide walks and outdoor time to keep them happy and active. I am highly flexible and committed to meeting the specific needs of every animal in my care.

“Ken was so great with our dogs, he played with them and love them like they were his own dogs, it was really awesome to have him take care of them for us, he's a really nice guy and very down to earth and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended!”
“Emily was fantastic with our pups. We are new in town, and it’s always hard to find someone to trust with your fur babies. She spent a lot of time with them and really gave them all her attention and put us as ease.”
About: I am a licensed veterinary technician. I have about 7 years of professional experience in general practice, emergency/specialty medicine, alternative medicine and rehab. I am looking to aide to pet parents in need of a regular pet care giver outside the clinic setting - especially those pets that may need medications or extra care throughout the day! Hi! I’m a licensed veterinary technician and certified small animal massage therapist with over 10 years of experience in general practice, emergency/specialty medicine, and alternative care. I currently work in an integrative veterinary practice. Outside of the clinic, I run my own pet care service—perfect for animals who need medications, mobility support, or a compassionate, medically trained caregiver who truly understands their needs. I’m generally available Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for full-day appointments. I can generally accommodate other days with advance notice—just reach out and let’s talk! As a Fear Free Certified licensed vet tech, I prioritize your pet’s emotional and physical well-being. I create a calm, low-stress environment tailored to their needs—whether that’s quiet companionship, playtime, or simply space to decompress. Safety and comfort always come first, and I follow all care instructions carefully to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free.
“Meghann is a star!! She was thorough, responsive, and so loving with our senior dog. Meghann sent photos throughout the stay, gave us updates in a timely manner, and was on the ball with every medication and task our pup needed. She left our home clean and orderly, and gave us final updates before leaving. 15/10 would book Meghann again!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats. I’m reliable and take the time to make sure they feel comfortable. I can help with dogs (basic routines and leash walking) and I’m patient with senior pets who need a little extra care. I treat every pet like my own I work at a dog grooming place most days, so I’m around animals all the time. I’m off on Sundays and Wednesdays and have more flexibility then, but I can still do pet care after work on other days if that’s needed. I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. I keep them safe, clean up after them and spend time with them so they feel comfortable. I also follow any special instructions and send updates to the owner.
“Lauren was fantastic. She went above and beyond in caring for our pup. He has separation anxiety and she did her best with him. She is caring about animals and she gave pup great love and attention. We definitely will be using her in the future. Thank you Lauren.”
“Sally is an outstanding pet-sitter and our first choice, every single time! We feel so lucky to have found her a few years ago. Each time we arrive home, it is obvious that our furry kids have felt safe, supported, and have been well fed and well taken care of. We 100% trust Sally to stay in our home and take care of our kids!”
About: I have taken care of pets for 15 years. I am always that one friend or family member that will always come take care of the pets while they go vacation. I am experienced professional dog trainer so I am comfortable with most breeds and have great leash handling skills. I am currently working part-time from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can be home 90% of my day. Lots of walks for my pups. I usually go to the gym for morning workout after early morning walks with my pups. I have a yard but it is not fenced. My dogs get multiple walks a day and they love to lay out on the fenced in deck. I normally crate my dogs when I leave the house. Depending on what your pet is used to just let me know. I am sure we can make it work!

FAQs for House Sitting - Jenkinsville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 597 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jenkinsville. 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 Jenkinsville 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 Jenkinsville 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 Jenkinsville 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.
