About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, including my Yorkie puppy and several senior cats. I provide daily attention, training, exercise, and care for medical or behavioral needs. I’m comfortable with skittish, anxious, or energetic pets, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and consistency. Pets aren’t just animals to me—they’re family, and I’m committed to keeping them happy, healthy, and safe. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I am currently not working, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent care, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My main commitments are taking my daughter to and from school, appointments, and interviews, but I plan my time carefully to ensure pets always receive the care and supervision they need. I enjoy creating a reliable, loving routine for every animal I care for. I care for pets with attention, consistency, and compassion, whether in my home or the client’s home. I provide feeding, exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation tailored to each pet’s needs. For pets with medical or behavioral needs, I follow specific instructions carefully, administer medications if required, and monitor their health and well-being closely. I ensure their environment is safe, clean, and comfortable, and I give them plenty of love and attention so they feel secure and happy while in my care.

About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life, beginning with a family pack of German Shepherd siblings (see photo). Over the years, I've worked with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, temperaments and personalities—including seniors, sensitive animals, pets with anxiety or special needs, and some less-typical companions. My approach is attentive and individualized. I respect the routines and training you've established while tuning in to your animal's behavior, body language and energy—learning what helps them feel safe, understood and genuinely cared for while you're away. If I do my job right, within the first few hours they're settling back into their normal beat. And when you come home, they may be delightfully underwhelmed by your return! Animal communication is a core interest in my life and work, and I'm currently completing additional training in small-animal massage and bodywork. I also offer energy work. These aren't requirements for good pet sitting, of course, but they inform my dedication to an animal's comfort and care. I'm primarily between Sedona, AZ and Southern Maine. I travel for select longer-term destination sits. My flexible schedule allows me to spend meaningful time at home with the animals—getting to know them and loving them up—rather than constantly coming and going. At heart, I'm an animal advocate. Everything I do is rooted in creating greater safety, trust and understanding between animals and the people who love them. I believe they deserve partners and allies who are present, aware, accepting and loving. I'm happy to provide references from private clients and would love to connect to see if we're a good fit. My schedule is flexible. I generally work at “home” so am able to spend a lot of time with your pet, letting them know that you’ve made sure they are taken care of after the suitcases are out the door. If we're newly connecting, I like to start with a call or video chat and then a home visit, to make sure we are a good fit. And chat about your pet's needs, preferences and schedule.
About: Hi, my name is Kelly, and my husband, Dahl, and I will both be primary dog watchers. I work from home full-time, and he works from home part time. Our young girls, Lily and Rosie, and our nanny, Nancy, will also be interacting with your dogs on a regular basis. They are sweet, calm girls who love dogs and do very well with them. We are flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, since I work from home, so someone is here almost all of the time. We have watched many dogs for friends over the years, and this seemed like a great way to expand on that. I love dogs, and my favorite dog- sitting experience was when my neighbor needed someone to watch her puppy during the day while she worked. I picked him up in the morning and dropped him off at night. I helped train him and just loved on him all day. I was a second mom to him, and we still get very excited to see each other. I often watch him when his parents are out of town now. My husband had a dog for 9 years growing up, and also loves dogs. We are so excited to meet your fur-babies!! I work full-time from home so we will be available to care for your pets day and night. We have a fenced off backyard with an entire section dedicated to the dogs we watch. We have a fenced in backyard with a fenced in pool and often walk around our neighborhood and to the local park. We can watch dogs from multiple families at a time as long as the families approve and both dogs are good with other dogs. We do this on a case by case basis.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 188 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jerome. 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 Jerome 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 Jerome 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 Jerome 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 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.
