“Brooke is amazing with our fur babies. Arya is a high maintenance Malinois. Brook gives her lots of attention. Lots of love to our Maltese Harley. She is also flexible which helps a ton with our schedules. She keeps us updated and sends pictures. Highly recommend her to care for your pets and home. Although we plan to keep her pretty busy😃”
“Alaina was great! She took the boys for some walks, one got muddy and she bathed him, and one also got an upset stomach one day in the house. She cleaned it all up and made sure he was good to go. She really did well with my furry kids. I will use her again whenever I am in need of someone to trust with them.”
“Kerri is amazing as a pet sitter and human being!! She went above and beyond making sure all my pets were taken care of, safe and happy!!! I can not recommend her enough as a pet/house sitter, she is truly perfect for the job!!!!”
About: I have watch friends and family’s dogs as well as on Rover for over 10 years. I love all the floofy dogs and love going on long walks and going to the dog park. Your furry friend will be in great hands with Kaia (my baby) and I. I am currently not working and have all the time in the world to watch your sweet pup. I have availability currently 24/7 to watch your family pet closely. I would treat your dog like they are part of the family. Kaia is truly my firstborn and she is more than spoiled. She loves activity so we will go for all the walks and play fetch or hide and seek.
“Nichelle was great with my pups. Was a weekend if storms and was good with Arya anxiety. She didn’t overmeficate her. Went by my instructions and kept me informed on how she was doing as well as when she was leaving and returning. Highly recommend her.”
“My dog can be pretty anxious around new people but took to Emma insanely quickly! So clearly the energy of a good caretaker is heavily present. They had a great weekend and Whiskey was actually sad when she left.”
“Reyna was wonderful to work with-great at communicating, kept us updated with pictures during her stay, and took great care of our house and dog. We’ve already booked her again for another trip ☺️”
“Tanya did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away on vacation for a week. She was responsive on text messages and shared updates and photos which were appreciated!”
“Sabrina looked after my two big boys (a Lab and a Weim) while I am recuperating from a medical procedure. She was excellent with my boys and they had no problems with her. Will absolutely use her again.”
“Autumn was the perfect pet/house sitter! Not only were all of our animals well taken care of, but Autumn was an excellent communicator, polite, professional, and attentive! I felt her rates were very reasonable, which is a huge plus! She was flexible in working with us in regards to scheduling, procedures, and even agreed to take care of our goats on top of the indoor animals. If we ever need care for our animals again we would definitely reach back out to Autumn first!”
“Couldnt be happier with Grace. She was a great communicator, always sending pictures and updates. I felt super comfortable with her taking care of my pup throughout my whole trip. I’ll definitely be coming back to her for future pup needs!”
“She was great! Cassie is very responsible and did everything necessary for Maisie’s veterinary needs. She has sat for us numerous times and hopefully will again.”
“First time using Rover or any dog sitting service and we are very happy. Robert was great with our 3 dogs and respectful of our home. Will definitely use him again in the future.”
“Jacob is hands-down, an amazing dog sitter! We never had to worry a bit. He always went above and beyond. And always kept us updated! I highly recommend him. And I don’t like to give such high recommendations because then maybe he might not be available for me next time lol. But please use Jacob, if you are ever in need of a dog sitter.”
“Nicholas was amazing! He was extremely professional, and communicative. Took care of my dog like it was his own. Kept me updated when I asked, left me with no worries! Definitely will be rebooking in the future!”
About: Hello! My name is Carrie, please allow me to introduce myself and explain to you why I quit my Monday through Friday 9 to 5 job. The short answer is simply because I love animals and from a very young age I wanted to work with animals and I wanted to help them. My passion has always been about helping animals so I helped anyway I could. I first started out working at a Pet Grooming Salon and there I bathed the animals, it was an awesome learning experience and I loved it! I am a firm believer that things only set in motion when it's time for them to happen, I tried to force my dreams into happening sooner and it never worked but I still wanted to find a way to help, even if it wasn't this big dream I had envisioned. I reached out to ASPCA, I participated in fundraisers for the Bella SPCA Foundation, I have rescued a few cats over the years and I began pet sitting for my family and friends and anyone who I could get my name out to and all the while working at a job that I was good at but it never fed my soul. "There is the most dangerous risk of all, the risk of not doing what you love, on the bet that you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later." This year my dream set in motion and I became in a position where I can focus on a Career working with animals full time. I do have two cats of my own; I have a 13 y/o Tuxedo cat, her name is Peaches Mari and I have a 2 y/o cat named Neko Lilo. I rescued Neko when she was 6 weeks old. Peaches and Neko are polar opposites but they love each other. I will love and care for your pet as much as I do my two cats, they're not "just a pet," they're my family. I cater to my cats, some may say they're spoiled but I like to think they're loved. I want your cat or dog to feel loved, safe and happy when I care for them. I am available for your temporary and permanent needs. I have committed to making this a full time Career. I am available to you whenever I'm needed, whether it be for your temporary or permanent needs. I currently live in a rent house and eventually I hope to have a space available to board at my future home but until then I'll be able to take care of your fur babies in their own safe space. I offer drop in visits and walking as well. I can ensure you that I will leave your home just as it was and I will check that all your doors are closed and locked before I leave each time. When I do drop in visits at your home I will feed them and make sure they have plenty of water. I will let them outside to potty or I will walk them; I will clean litter boxes too and I will clean up any messes that are made. You can be comfortable knowing they will receive all the love, attention and care while they're with me and please let me know if your animal has any special needs, out of the normal care, that will need to be met while they're in my care. I have training in CPR/First Aid and I can administer oral medications. I invest 100 percent of my spare time into Rover, I no longer have a 9 to 5 job; so I am available for any drop in visits or walks that you may need. I am very flexible with your schedule. I will care for them, in your home, however you need. I like to keep them on their original schedules as much as possible, so I will do everything you would normally do for them.
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. For the past eight or so years I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends. I have experience caring for sick/injured pets that require a more delicate touch. Whether it’s puppies and kittens or little old ladies and gents I can guarantee the best care that fulfill your pets needs. I am currently taking a gap year before starting my masters and am free most days, so I’ll be able to dedicate as much time as is needed for your furry friends I have a car of my own with pet friendly seats that can accommodate most pets and I am willing to drive to and from homes in order to provide care.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a child. I have vast experience with anxious or nervous dogs and ones with high energy. I have cared for dogs from Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to Great Danes, Mastiffs, and Huskies and currently regularly dog sit two dogs. I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs with special needs including two diabetic dachshunds that went blind. I also have no issue with changing diapers for dogs as needed! I am currently available any time except for Thursdays from 3:30-5:30pm for pet care! I don’t mind checking on pets very early or very late in the day either! I prefer to meet the client/pet prior to beginning pet sitting to ensure I can ask all necessary questions for their care. I have experience with anxious animals and am fast at picking up on each animals specific preferences.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jones
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jones on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 860 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jones. 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 Jones 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 Jones 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 Jones 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 Jones. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
