About: I have been around and owned a number of different animals all throughout my life. I have a very soft spot in my heart for dogs and kitties. I used to find stray dogs as a kid and do my best to find them a loving home. Pets make everything better! I am currently a student doing all my schoolwork online from the comfort of my home. I run a couple errands during the day but they don’t keep me away from home for long. I also have a 15 year old daughter who does homeschooling and also loves pets just as much as her mom. There’s usually always someone home to care for the animals. I have a very well fenced in backyard. I have a big front yard also that I take the pets out in but on a leash of course. I also have an elderly small female dog. I have a male young cat, he’s inside and outside so he’s not always around
“Cici was awesome. There is so much anxiety around leaving a fur baby and your home in the hands of a total stranger, and I was no exception. But I have to say that in her care, my concern was totally unfounded. I came home to a happy dog that had all her medicinal and nutritional needs met and my home was just as I left. I will definitely use Cici again and now know that I don’t have to be so nervous about leaving my home and my four legged child with her.”

“Mya is truly an amazing person. We had a last minute family trip come up and luckily, I came across her profile just days before. I felt so at peace leaving my home and furbabies with her, she did such an amazing job. Mya has our trust and can’t wait to use her again the future. -The Ang’s”
“Sofia provided a great care for our puppy while we were at work. Sofia, It was so nice to meet you and work with you. Thank you so much, looks like baby Atlas has a new friend!”
“Sandra took excellent care of not only our pups, but our home, too!! She was incredibly responsive and provided plenty of updates while we were away. Our dogs were so spoiled and loved on. We would highly recommend Sandra to anyone needing care for their pups!!”
“Christopher did an excellent job caring for Cici. He stepped in to take over from another sitter who could not sit for Cici during the a weekday. Christopher is a genuinely nice young man and gave us the peace of mind while we were out of town.”
“Stephanie was great! She communicated consistently with texts and pictures of our pups. She made sure they were well fed, took them on walks, and managed a few oddball chores we asked her to help with. Our family and pup crew hope to meet again.”
“Carolina did an excellent job. She knew exactly what Cici needed while we were out. Our Cici bonded immediately with Carolina. We will definitely use Carolina again.”
“She was great. She checked in through the day, sent photos and videos each day, she communicated very well and I appreciate her time with them and taking care of our home as well for the week we were gone. Respectful of your home and dogs snd would recommend her to anyone. Appreciate her.”
“Ari did a great job with Arya! She sent regular updates with pictures, took her on plenty of walks, and even reached out asking if it was ok if she brushed her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

About: I had pets growing up and for most of my adult life. While I do not currently have any of my own, I can offer care and attention with a flexible schedule to help others out when they are busy and need a little extra help caring for their furry friends. I have a flexible schedule working in the food and beverage industry. I like to plan and have things set on the calendar with advance notice whenever possible but I do also understand that sometimes last minute things come up. When I had pets of my own, they were additional family members who were often spoiled with much love and attention. While being respectful of another’s home and their rules, I would still care for their pet as if they were my own, possibly spoiled with too much attention.

I came home to calm and happy dogs. Isabel took exceptional care of my girls. She sent regular updates, photos and videos, so it made being away from them easier. Isabel gave my girls so much attention and loved on them unconditionally. They were spoiled by Isabel ~ so much that they were missing her. The love she shows my girls is so comforting and allows me to focus when I am away, as I know they are in great hands with Isabel.
Mya took care of our dogs and house for a long holiday weekend. Everything went well. We got stuck 50 miles away and almost needed her to come to us with an extra set of keys. The problem got resolved, but Mya was willing to help us out, so that counts as 'flexible' and that's important. We will recommend her to friends and family
Couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for my two babies! Karlie took amazing care of both of Loki and Luna for an entire week, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were with her. She was caring, reliable, attentive, and kept me updated throughout their stay. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about their well-being and made them feel comfortable and loved. She truly went above and beyond, and it’s clear she has a real passion for animals. Im incredibly grateful for the outstanding care Karlie provided and would absolutely trust her with my dogs again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and dependable sitter.

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 Jersey Village 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 Jersey Village 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 Jersey Village 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
