About: I have a tender heart when it comes to any animal. I’m experienced with large dogs and own 2 large dogs. I own a Presa Canario as well as a rescue (german shepherd/pyranees mix. I’m familiar with rescues, odd behaviors and even food aggression. Being transparent with anything your dog prefers or needs is vital for ensuring a comfortable stay. I want to make sure I know anything and everything that could be helpful to keep them comfortable during their stay. I’m currently full time mom so my schedule is super flexible. It’s easy for me to pick up and stop what I’m doing to give your pet the care they need! I have plenty of water bowls and extra food if needed. I also have plenty of dog toys! I just ask you bring enough food for your pets stay as well as some extra!
“Lauren was wonderful! She did so well with our anxious girlie and little old guy! I didn’t have to worry about our dogs while we were gone and she sent pictures to update.”
“We left our 4 dogs, cat, 4 parrots, cockatiel, 2 snakes, turkey, chicken and ducks (and newly hatched baby ducks) for almost a full two weeks in the loving care of these two amazing ladies! We got photos, updates, and a carefree vacation..and the animals got just as much (if not more) love than they do on the daily! We HIGHLY recommend these two for pet/house sitting!! We will definitely be using them for all our needs. Worth every cent!”

I’ll have time every day to check on and walk/spend at least an hour or two with your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can work to accommodate your pet. I cannot have pets at my current place but I am happy to walk or babysit your pet from your place. I know some great dog parks and would love to take your pet out for some fun.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and truly love caring for animals. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pet like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddles, I’ll make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’ll be starting ultrasound school this fall, so I’m available Monday through Friday before or after clinicals and will have open availability almost every weekend! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or taking them on walks, I’ll provide a calm, loving, and dependable experience. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, respect your home, and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you’re away.
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life, I would love to spend time with yours! I treat every dog I see like they’re my little baby even if I just ask their owner to love on them! I’d love an opportunity to help you and be trusted with your fur baby :) I am currently working very part time, I have too much time on my hands so I would love to keep your baby company! Or them keep me company…😂. I have 3 dogs of my own and a big fenced in yard, I live right by a school with a track and lots of grass!

About: What sets me apart is my blend of professional experience and genuine love for animals. I have 5+ years in animal care, including shelter work and experience as a veterinary assistant while completing schooling to become a vet tech. I’ve worked alongside animal behaviorists and assisted with training programs, so I’m confident with puppies, behavior support, and routines. I love walking and hiking dogs, creating enrichment activities, and of course some good puppy snuggles if your pup is a cuddler! I’m comfortable administering oral medications and injections, and I have experience caring for pets with diabetes, Addison’s disease, and asthma. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors. Most importantly, I truly respect that every pet parent knows their pet best. I take pride in following your routines and wishes so your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I do currently work full time Tuesday-Friday in a vetrinary clinic. I'm available for evening walks during the week and full time care on the weekends as well as on Monday. If a longer trip is planned or your needing an extra service, I'm open to having a conversation to arrange my schedule to best fit both our needs. When caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on structure, enrichment, and lots of love. I have a fully fenced yard and provide 2–4 walks daily (or more/less as requested by pet parents). I live an active lifestyle, so your pup will get plenty of movement, unless their needs are limited, in which case I’m happy to slow things down. I offer pet-parent–approved enrichment activities throughout the day to help pets stay engaged or enjoy calm rest time. If your dog loves fetch, we’ll definitely be playing! I share my home with two friendly dogs and two cats. My dogs are welcoming to other dogs, and my cats truly think they’re dogs themselves. If you’re concerned about dogs and cats together, no worries! My cats have separate, safe areas they can retreat to at any time. I’m happy to welcome friendly pets and always follow your routines and preferences to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and at home. If your pet is more nervous around other dogs, I'm happy to provide the same services in your personal home. Send me a message, if you have any questions? Let's get connected, I can't wait to meet your best friend!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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.
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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
