“I cannot recommend Meg enough! She took incredible care of my senior pup Cooper, treating them like family while I was away. I received regular updates, photos, and videos, which really helped ease my mind. It was clear my pup was not only well cared for but truly happy—whether going on walks, getting bones and treat, or just snuggling up. Very grateful for all she did to keep my pup calm and comfortable.”
“Stacie was super easy to work with and very responsive. She sent us updates and photos of our pup while we were away and left the house just as we left it. We felt like she treated our home and pup as she would her own. We will be reaching out again for our next trip! Thanks Stacie!”
“We just came home after leaving our dogs with Nora for the first time, and I can say it was an overall great experience. She communicated well and quickly, followed our detailed instructions, kept great care of our dogs, and left our home in immaculate condition. She was reliable, trustworthy, and had a positive impact on our dogs' well-being. I was a little nervous as it was the first time we had worked with her. She sent a pic of the dogs with her the first evening that put me totally at ease. Highly recommend. - Mike”
“Rachel was great! Was the perfect house guest and left everything as we left it - she even washed and dried her sheets! She was welcoming and patient with our new pup and very communicative with us while we were away. We recommend!”
“Kayleigh is easy to work with and clearly and knowledgeable pet sitter and genuine pet lover. Our dog Miley was very anxious during our house sitting booking which made it tough on Kayleigh to get her to go out and stick to her regular routine. Kayleigh communicated every step of the way to give us updates and allowed me to give feedback and suggestions on what to try to make Miley more comfortable. Greatly appreciated Kayleigh’s effort and communication. We’d book with Kayleigh again. Thanks!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Michaela did an excellent job. She was interested in the dogs and particularly vigilant about sticking to our care routine considering one of our dogs has some medical needs. She was communicative and sent us updates each day. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience for our babies.”
About: Hi! I’m Madison and I’m a college student athlete home for the summer! I have taken care of all types of dogs and pets since I was 10, and have always had many animals in the house since I was little. I have experience with many types of dogs with many different personalities, sizes, ages, and care needs. I currently have a pitbull and a yorkie at home, and have had many other pets prior including guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, and ducks. I am comfortable with both large and small breeds, as well as senior dogs who may need a little extra care and attention. I am comfortable administering basic medications such as oral medication, topical treatments, or ear care. Beyond caring for dogs, I also babysit for multiple families and love to care for little kids which has given me the experience to adapt to different households, schedules, and routines balancing both pets and kids! I’m currently a college student-athlete home from school on break, and I am available through August. I am very flexible with scheduling (mornings, weekends, etc.) and can provide stop in visits and consistent care throughout the day! I try to make pets feel as comfortable as possible by sticking to their normal routine so they feel at home and stress free while owners are away, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, fresh water, treats, etc. I also like to keep them entertained with walks, parks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day! I currently have two dogs at home, so I am used to dogs of different sizes, personalities, energy levels and needs. I have experience with older dogs who may need more assistance and attention and can administer basic medications, as well as younger dogs who may want more exercise and playtime. When in a client’s home, I always make sure to respect the space and follow routines and special requests carefully. I also like to send photos and updates to owners throughout the day so they feel connected while they’re away!
“Ryan was great! She stayed with our "pups" (as she cutely called them) for almost a week. Right from the start she sent texts, photos, and a sense that all was under control. Meeting her before the stay both her experience as a student working towards going to vet school and as a horse owner sealed the deal. We'd happily use her again.”
About: Over the years I've cared for the pets of family friends and relatives. From taking pups on walks & play session to drop ins for cats. Making sure I'm following dietary need for each pet. Getting to know the different personalities of each animal I come across is my passion. In my childhood home I was able to experience caring for puppies until they became elderly. Though most of my experience is with pits. I was blessed to care for a doodle mix & a shih Tzu in their last years. I respect all animals and their space. I currently work full-time 3 days a week with 4 day available to care for your furbabies. Saturday- Monday is my work schedule. Tuesday-Friday I am up by 7am cleaning my home or visiting my parents. By 12pm the rest of my day is free. I can do evening drop ins (after 5pm) or overnight stays on the days I work (leave by 4am). Am very flexible during the week. If you're in need of a sitter/ care giver for family or business trips. In my home or the client's home I will follow the set schedule the clients have for their pets. My home has a fenced in backyard where I can take elderly or less fit pups to play and potty. I also live in a dog friendly neighborhood where I can take your pup on walks. I do require a harness and leash set per pet with a portable water bowl to keep them hydrated on walks. A breakdown of allergies or sensitivities each pet has. As well as a bed or crate for them to sleep in overnight. At the client's house I would like to do a walk through of the property and learn the habits of their pet. This will give me an understanding of how to properly care for each individual pet in and outside of the home.
“Whitney stayed overnight with Bolt. Bolt immediately seemed at ease with her. She took him for his walks and fed him. We were delayed returning and she was gracious enough to stay until we returned. Will definitely book her services again. Thanks Whitney!”
About: i have two cats and a dog and they’re amazing! caring for them over the years gained me the experience to be proactive and protective. I work full time 3 days a week, 12 hr shifts. So on my off days i have a lot of flexibility and time to help out. I treat everyone’s home and fur babies like it’s mine. I have respect and care for those willing to let me help with their fur babies.
“We were so happy with all the help and care Gianna provided to our pets while we were out of town. We will absolutely request Gianna in the future and would recommend her services to all our pets while parents. Thank you Gianna!”
“Margaret was great caring for our babies Faith and Hope. When we came home from 8 days in Italy our pups were happy to see us but not anxious. This was a first for us. From the minute they met Margaret they took to her! Margaret cared for and respected our home which was an added plus! We will definitely call on her again and hopefully she will be available.😁”
“This was our second time using Karren -- this time we had her stay with our pup in our home for 2 nights. Karren was very caring with our dog during thunderstorms and also was very helpful with making sure our home was secure during it. We appreciate her partnership!”
“Marissa is so great! She was flexible when my travel arrangements got delayed and sent me lots of pictures of my fur baby. She is very responsive and overall, great to work with!”
“I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 5,277 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jobstown. 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 Jobstown 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 Jobstown 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 Jobstown 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jobstown. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
