“Bre was very good at communicating. Being a nervous dog mom gets the best of me sometimes. She was very quick to respond with any question I had. She was very understanding with my great danes anxiety towards new people and men. She just blended right in with them 😊”
“Cara was great! From the moment I contacted her she was so quick to respond! So many dog sitters don’t respond that quickly and some don’t respond ever? I was thankful to get Cara to sit with Penelope!! Thank you! 👍❤️😊”
About: I have been the go to dog/cat sitter to many friends and family for a few years now. I have primarily worked with small dogs but I am open to dogs of all sizes. I also have experience in giving medication to both dogs and cats and have given cats an inhaler before as well. Please message me if you have additional questions! I work full time so I am happy to assist with any needs starting at 6PM on weeknights. I can also handle any quick needs on Monday or Friday between 12-1. I am very flexible on weekends, primarily in the morning and afternoon on Saturday, and on Sunday, I could be free at all times. I would only take care of pets of clients in their home. I live in an apartment and cannot have pets in my place. I am open to drop ins to feed, clean litter boxes, briefly let dogs outside, and even go for walks depending on needs of each client. I am also open to giving any medicines to dogs or cats. Upon completion, I am happy to communicate anything with the homeowner recapping each visit.
“Karie was absolutely wonderful caring for our two dogs while we were away for the weekend. She was always sending photos of the dogs and making sure they were well cared for. We would highly recommend Karie for all of your animal needs!”
“Cassandra and Alex were great house sitters for our dog Zoey! I highly recommend them for anyone that want to keep their dog in their “comfort zone” and have someone take good care of your pet(s).”
“Chelsea was a fantastic in-home sitter for our two fur babies! During the meet-and-greet, she asked plenty of thoughtful questions to get to know our dogs and understand their individual needs. One of our dogs has anxiety and is very skittish around new people, but she warmed up to Chelsea right away. Our other dog has epilepsy, and Chelsea did a wonderful job making sure he received his medication twice a day, right on schedule. Throughout our trip, Chelsea sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pups were happy, safe, and well cared for. She even took care of our fish! Chelsea went above and beyond, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We look forward to booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.”
“Francesca was so sweet. She did an excellent job caring for Sarge, going above and beyond by taking him on extra long walks (which are his favorite!) and was great with communication/sending pictures and updates. She also left the house spotless!!”
“Our 13 and 14 y/o high-maintenance kitties were so delighted with Kristie's care. They took to her right away which is definitely not common. She communicated with us well and understood our action-packed kitty schedule. We felt at ease while we were away for a weekend trip with Kristie at the helm!”
About: I’ve learned and taken on responsibilities caring for animals, specifically dogs, at a young age. Nacho, my past rescue dog, lived to be about 15 years of age. He needed quite a lot of care in his old age, including joint supplements, pimobendan for his heart, and other treatments. I currently have two cats named Kirby and Sam. I would love to have a dog, but my living situation doesn’t allow currently for the quality of life they deserve. I work full-time as an aesthetician, but with some days off, so if you need a day or a time that you don’t see we may be able to work something out:) I ensure a clean environment with no hazardous materials around, ample enrichment, and all the love humanly possible. Full of healthy food and treats obviously🤪
About: I share my home with 5 cats and a 3 legged dog. The dog has developed a number of special needs as she's aged. I am experienced in giving meds and using doggy wheelchair. I care for own fur babies daily and volunteer at a shelter once a week. Everyone gets individualized attention, their favorite foods and lots of pets. I am happy to provide the type and amount of attention that you request for your fur baby. I can administer meds if needed and walk dog on schedule.
About: I’ve helped pet sit for friends and family for several years now. I have my own 4 year old purebred Siberian husky named Maverick. I have had him since he was 3 months old. I also grew up having family dogs and cats. I even helped take care of brother’s bearded dragon when he was in college. I spent 3 years working alongside 2 certified professional trainers learning to train my own dog. I am currently a daycare teacher working with infants and preschoolers. I am also in a master’s program to get my teaching degree in teaching high school English. I am currently a daycare teacher working most days. Sometimes I start at 6:30am, sometimes at 8am, and other times at noon. I usually work till 6:15pm, but sometimes I get scheduled to be off early. It varies every week, but I can put in requests ahead of time to start or end at a certain time if need be. I have a 4 year old purebred Siberian husky named Maverick. He loves everyone and all animals. He was raised around other dogs, cats, and a bearded dragon since I brought him home at 3 months old. I have worked alongside 2 certified professional trainers to help train Maverick to be the best behaved dog. I have trained Maverick to the point that he has several awards and certifications in obedience, rally, and scent work. I currently live with my sister’s two dogs and brother’s cat. I cannot pet sit at my house currently due to having other dogs and cats in my home, but I am more than happy to go to a client’s home, and pet sit, walk, let animals outside, etc.
“Joey and Angie were very kind and easy to work with. Joey was respectful of my home, brought in packages and mail, and kept me updated on the dogs while I was away. Communication was good throughout the stay, and it was clear that Joey cared about the dogs’ well-being. Overall, I appreciated the help and care provided during my trip.”
“Gretchen took care of our clingy and anxious dog while we got married — we wanted Lima to be well taken care of while we celebrate our special day and Gretchen delivered!! Lots of cute pictures throughout the day, we are super thankful for Gretchen for taking care of our dog”
About: I have a tremendous love for pets and love to work with families to keep them happy and routine oriented. I also adore my family dog, Sam. I currently work full time Monday-Friday, so being a dog walker would fit into my schedule week nights after 5pm, and weekends. I am open to dog sit on the weekends. I care for pets in my clients home by making sure I follow in-depth instructions about their pets routine while also making sure their house is kept tidy during my stay.
“My pups were well taken care of and she was extremely helpful with some unexpected deliveries that showed up to the house while we were gone. Pups were happy and everything around the house was kept clean. I would definitely hire Corinne again!”
About: I am extremely clean and organized and when it comes to animals I love taking care of them and keeping there things clean and neat I'm currently doing part time bookkeeping for certain clients as well as teaching guitar lessons also part time so I am very open in terms of scheduling I have a large back and front yard and I live on a culdesac that is extremely dog-friendly and would be very easy for me to take them on frequent walks
“Cynthia did a great job taking care of our senior dog, Luna. She communicated with us and sent us lots of pictures! She also left our house very clean and helped out with a few extra tasks which was much appreciated! We would recommend Cynthia and plan to use her again in the future! Thank you Cynthia!”
“Jarett was wonderful. Freya was unfamiliar with him at first but they are now friends. We will happily have him stay with her again. He kept us informed of her well-being, which is always a big relief when you’re away from home.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,390 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Joffre. 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 Joffre 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 Joffre 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 Joffre 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 Joffre. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
