“Found Derek last min for my fur baby and boy was I lucky! He’s very attentive to my Marley takes him on nice long walks and spends time with him after! I’m so glad I found him being a nurse I work long hours and I can’t come let him out! I recommend anybody letting Derek take care of their fur baby ❤️”
“Laura was the absolute best!!! She responded quickly to booking and was always keeping me informed of my doggies. One of our outdoor cats even got extra love. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats from the time I was a newborn. I have had small, medium, and large dogs throughout my life (and bonus cats at my grandma’s house!). As a medical student living away from home, my classmates have come to rely on me to pet sit (dogs & cats) and house sit for them any time they’re out of town. It’s an absolute treat for me to spend time with animals again! I’m comfortable helping to train puppies, snuggling seniors, and playing with every age in between. As a medical student, my schedule is generally pretty flexible. I will almost always be available to house sit from at least 5pm-6am. On most days, I can take a break at lunch to run over and check on pets or go for a short walk. Depending on my rotation, I may have entire stretches of 3-4 days off! That may sound like a lot to plan around, but I’d love to work with you to accommodate both our schedules as best as possible! Because I grew up with dogs of all ages and sizes, I’m very comfortable with dogs of different temperaments, care needs, and crating requirements. Cats with high-care needs will likely be out of my comfort zone, but I’m always eager to learn something new!
“Samantha does an excellent job with our puppies and they absolutely love her! We are so glad we found her as she is a wonderful help to us during the week. Thank you!”
About: We’ve been hugging dogs since we were kids, and we’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and our family enjoy hosting furry friends - we take care of them and our pups play hard with them! Please note: *We cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *We host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - pups who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and we will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is our full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! We spend our days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. Our 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes us a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! We accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; we will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. Our availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but we aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! Our entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! We can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. We don’t require pups to use crates while we’re gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, we’re happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but we can supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. We have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to us! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)
About: I have volunteered at the Animal Protective League for many summers, so I have lots of experience with cats/kittens, puppies, and dogs big and small. I have a sweet Shih Tzu-schnauzer named Lexi, and she is 12 years old. I adore working with animals, and have taken care of many furry loved ones. From friends to family, they have trusted and relied on me to take great care of their furry friends! My schedule is flexible to your pet needs. Throughout the school week I find time to spend with your furry friends and mine. On weekends I get up early and have ample amounts of time to check in, or walk your pets when needed! I have a large fenced yard, with my very friendly dog Lexi. She can roam, and use the restroom freely (since I pooper-scoop my yard daily), and she has lots of room to play. If your dog needs to be put in or taken out of a crate, I can do that. My main goal is that the pets are safe, loved, and keep their tails wagging!
“Was an awesome sitter! Kept me constantly up to date especially since one of my dogs gets really bad anxiety when we leave. He took great care of them and they didn't seem as anxious as they usually are.”
About: Hi, I’m Maddie! 🐾 I’ve always loved animals and understand that pets are family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, giving plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and routine. I have been around animals ever since I was a little girl! I love dogs of all sizes and cats as well! I’m a huge animal lover, so I don’t discriminate. 😉 I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, or routines. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I’m currently a full-time college student. I have class 3 days a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am available those days in the afternoon. As for Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday I’m free! I am willing to travel to the safety of your pets home to keep them comfort! I’m more than happy to play, walk, or snuggle with them! Keeping your pet as comfortable as possible is my biggest priority!
“Amy was absolutely incredible with Thor, Arya, and Binx while I was away. She was so sweet, responsive, attentive, and truly loved my babies like they were her own. She even took Thor to the emergency vet for me when something unexpected came up, and I genuinely cannot express how grateful I am for the care and kindness she showed throughout everything. Coming home to happy, loved, well cared for pets meant the world to me. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone without hesitation.”
“My family went on vacation and we found Elisa to come check-in on our dogs while we were away. She was totally amazing, sending detailed updates and photos at every visit. She even took the time to give my cats some attention and play with my dogs. I can't recommend Elisa enough, she is fabulous! She gave us complete reassurance and peace of mind that our babies were in the best hands while we were away.”
“Tristen was always prompt and timely wirh her check ins and sent me adorable pictures and videos. My cat was very well taken care of! Would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have had pets my whole life! I have experience with cats, dogs, horses, chickens, fish, frogs, turtles, and small furry critters such as hamsters and rabbits. I Have cared for new born puppies and kittens when the mother was not able and elderly pets that need a little extra love. Pets that are very energetic or relaxed. Pets that are having a hard time medically and need fluids or pain medications. I have cared for wounded animals and healthy ones. I'm available most days during work hours. When your fur baby needs love and care during the day while you are away I can be there for pets, walks, snacks, medications, a simple check in and more. Every animal is it's own self and all need different care. When pet sitting while friends or family are at work or on trips I always make sure the pet has a good long session of play, affection, walk or forms of exercise, clean and full water and food dishes. Check for any accidents that need cleaned up or litter boxes that need tending. Then always be sure to double check the yard and home locks are secure before leaving.
“Mary was absolutely amazing! We got prompt check ins and check outs with the app and photos of our dog everyday. She enjoyed spending time with our dog and he was so chill when we got home. We will definitely use her in the future and had a great experience.”
“This was our first time hiring an outside sitter and Francesca was such a blessing for us to find! Our normal coverage plans change and we were last minute searching for someone to look in on our two younger Maine-Coons, while we were going to be out of town for a holiday week trip. Francesca was pleasantly friendly, easy to communicate with and our large kittens loved her! (The treats she brought didn't hurt the interaction either 😊) It was a great first time experience on Rover and now we know who we will be contacting first the next time!”
“Laura took such good care of our 3 kitties while we were gone on vacation and sent us pictures of them every time she visited them. I would definitely recommend booking with her and I would trust her to watch our kitties again any time. :D”
“Nakee was AWESOME! My dog is 13yrs old and requires extra attention. He bonded with Nakee immediately during our meet and greet. She was very professional and attentive to all our needs. Will definitely use her again!🤗”
About: I have had pets my entire life and love all kinds! I had to put my senior dog down recently and I miss having a buddy to walk with every morning, over lunch and in the evenings. Although I'm not ready to get another dog of my own, I would love to treat your best friend as my own. I work in an office full-time with a flexible schedule and walk in Washington Park over lunch every day - even in the snow! I can stop by for a care visit or a walk early in the mornings before work, over lunch and in the evenings. I have had many senior dogs and currently have 2 cats. I am experienced in giving medicine if needed. I also love to play with a puppy and help with light training! I currently work in an office by Washington Park and walk over lunch. I would love to have a buddy walk with me! I can do care visits and/or walks before work, over lunch and in the evenings. I have a flexible schedule. I am happy to come to your home and pick up your dog if they are ok with car rides and take to the park. I am also happy to walk them around your neighborhood or play with them in your yard.

Jossalyn took such great care of our kitties, and communicated very well with us throughout our trip. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, and was very sweet and gentle with our cats. She even convinced our one skittish cat who normally never comes out for cat sitters to come out and eat some tube treat from her! She also sent cute pics of them for each visit. :) I would definitely book with her again!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Jerome on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jerome stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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.
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.
