“Curtis was great with my two cats and dog (Odie)! He was very polite and gave Odie all of the pets and belly rubs requested during the initial meet-and-greet. During the actual stay, he sent photos and videos of the cats being obsessed with him (no surprise!) and Odie loving his walks with him. He also left the house clean! 10 out of 10”
“Monica helped me with a pretty short notice request. She followed instructions and really went above and beyond. She took my dog to a park and got him a pup cup and she didn’t have to do all that. Put me at ease while out of town knowing he was living his best life with Monica! I will absolutely be using Monica again when something comes up.”
“Jennifer is so sweet and my boys loved her. She took the time to read all my notes and kept us informed on how they were and what they did together. She pays attention to the little details. The dogs warmed up to her pretty quickly and I know they miss her! I hope she will be available for us again!”
“Janel took care of our babies just like we would have! We received daily updates, pictures and videos! Definitely makes your heart feel good! Our babies just adore Janel and I would not hesitate to book with her anytime we need a reliable, honest and caring sitter.”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs as pets pretty much my entire life! I’m currently in school, but back home I have two dogs, Charlie and Ella! Additionally, I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 6 years with experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, from puppies up to seniors, and all sizes, from french bulldogs up to great danes! Additionally, my own dog back home has a seizure disorder and requires his medication at precisely the same time everyday so I have extensive experience caring for those with medical needs and understand the importance of it! I'd love to get to know you and your fur baby and help out however I can! I’m currently in school and looking for a way to get my pet fix in since I no longer get to see my dogs everyday! I’m available all-day on weekends and for check-ins during the week in the early mornings, at lunch time, in the late afternoons, and in the evenings. If you see a day in my schedule blocked off for any reason, please feel free to reach out anyway as I can typically make it work and help out! I will come to your home and care for your pet in the environment they feel the most safe and comfortable! I know every pet is different so whether they need feeding, walking, playtime, or just some cuddles, I'll be there!
“Literally the dog best sitter and will be requesting her services again for our Barley. She was wonderful in updating us with photos and messages. Went above and beyond. Can’t thank her enough.”
“Derek was fantastic. We booked a housesitting with him on very short notice (11 hours). He was great with our 3 dogs and 4 cats and kept the house clean. Thank you SO much.”
“Holly is great with all of our pets. We have a 140 pound Bernese Mtn dog, so it takes a special person to hang out with our pets. I love that she sends pics of all our fur babies too. I highly recommend Holly!!!”

About: I have been an animal lover since the day I was born. My mom’s nickname for me growing up was Snow White because I would make friends with the animals everywhere I go.

As the designated “responsible mom friend” amongst my peers I’m lucky enough to have been honored with the task of looking after multiple pets, homes, and apartments throughout the years taking care of peoples furry family members they sadly have to leave behind when out of town and the homes they live in just to keep a responsible eye on things while their owners are away.

I am willing stop by to perform pet care during my breaks at work depending on the distance. I get my schedule out a month in advance and typically schedule my personal (trips, obligations, appointments etc.) a month ahead of time as well I have experience administering medication, feeding, changing litter box, dog walking, and of course giving lots of love and affection and play time to pets.
“Ben took great care of our pets while we were out of town. I really appreciate the frequent photo updates he provided and how quick he was to respond when we messaged him. The only downside is now our dogs might expect even more walks than we provide them when we’re home.”

Lexi has watched my two dogs twice now, and I couldn’t trust her more with them! She is incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and caring. She always kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares for the dogs and treats them with so much love and attention. I would highly recommend Lexi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and I would absolutely book her again!
Lauren was SO wonderful!!! I rarely need a dog sitter because I usually have family members in town, so I’m always a little nervous to have a sitter but I didn’t feel nervous or stressed for one second! My dog clearly loved her (I think she secretly likes Lauren better than me???). Lauren sent the perfect amount of pictures that made me know Jelly was safe and cared for and having the time of her life. Thank you Lauren you rule!!
Caitlin watched my dog for a full week during a level 3 snow emergency and still made sure he got safe exercise, stayed warm, and was well looked after. She provided regular updates, great communication, and total peace of mind. I would absolutely book with her again. 🐾❄️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Jerome is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $106 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,440 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jerome. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
