“Christopher is a nice, responsible young man. He did a great job house-sitting and taking care of our two mini schnauzers, Patch and P2 for 11 days. He sent pictures, walked them in the evenings, played with them in the back yard and let us know how they were doing. Patch got sick and Christopher had to take him to the emergency vet the night before we got home. We are so thankful he did that. With the meds, he's back to his perky self. Christopher also kept the house in good shape. We highly recommend him to others and will call on him again.”
“Drusila took excellent care of our two pups! When we dropped them off, her dog Parker was sweet and welcoming to our little ones. We really loved her updates and pictures by texts. She took them out on walks and was thoughtful to put paw balm on their little paws to protect them from the salt! We were happy that she seemed to enjoy our pups. We will definitely ask Drusila to take care of them next time we go away!”
“Madelyn did a great job with our pets (2 dogs, 1 cat) while we were on vacation! She sent pictures and updates often and responded to messages quickly, I never had to worry about the quality of care they were receiving while we were gone. Would definitely recommend!”
“Nicholas took great care of my Smoke. It was a last minute booking and he did not disappoint. It was not an easy task to care for Smoke. Hes special needs rescue Pit that is stubborn and needy. Nicholas left my house clean and provided lots of pictures and updates. I will book him again when needed. Thank you”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom of four wonderful dogs, plus a bearded dragon. I’ve been caring for dogs for over 20 years, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I have been a bearded dragon mom for about a year & have developed a new love for them. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your 4 legged family members, and I’m committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind. I work full time at a very flexible office. I can leave my office throughout the day for potty breaks depending on location proximity to my office. But I do get an hour lunch so lunch time potty breaks are not an issue I have a fenced in backyard & live in a very pet friendly neighborhood. I am open to a pet interview to see if you furbaby would get along well with my furbabies
About: I have three dogs of my own and love being around them. I have taken care of neighborhood dogs and house sat for many. I am always ready for a good walk :) I am a division one soccer player so I am always out and about doing something active. I am home from college and want to do something active and fun and being around dogs sounds like the perfect choice! I am very responsible and trustworthy. I will make sure your home and animals are well taken care of and safe. I take pride in everything I do and will make sure it is done well.
“Ms. Berkeley was great with our pets and our home. She communicated in a timely way, and clearly. She sent photos and videos of the two of them, walked our dog, and overall was a blessing to have help us.”
About: Hi I’m Sierra I currently reside here in bono. Growing up my family and I have owned well over 20 animals from bunnies, deer, turkey, dogs, cats, etc. I love animals. If you choose me to watch your fur babies I promise they will be in excellent hands.. I will update you every hour with photos and details of what they’re doing. I currently live where a walking park is nearby so your babies would get more than enough walking time and lots of exercise. Your animal must be good with kids because of me having a 5 year old and 1 year old. Hope to hear from you soon! Thank you I currently do self employment so I work from home. So I am available to sit during the week and weekend. I’m available from 8am to 8pm The pets will always have food and water along with lots of toys, bathroom time, exercise time at the park. My boys also enjoy playing along with the animals as well.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all shapes and sizes my whole life. As a pet owner myself, I always want to know that my pups are safe and happy anytime I am away. I will treat your pets like my own and ensure they will have all the love and attention they need. My schedule is very relaxed and flexible so I am always able to provide your pet with the care and attention they need and deserve! I will treat your pet like my own as it’s already a stressful time for them because their family is away. Pets can sometimes be a bit sensitive to change, therefore patience and extra attention will gladly be given!!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jonesboro
Candice is so great! I know Harley had a super good time with her 💕 She showed up on time ~ carried out all of my requests~ and I know this because she sent pictures! She cooked for my baby and she even tidied up the house before we got back. 😊✨️ I am so happy with the fantastic work she did and we are already making plans to go on another trip because we know Harley is in good hands. She is very knowledgeable about the care for pets and her care is genuine 💖 every picture she took ~ Harley had this big Pitty smile on her face. Harley loved her walks and play time. I felt so relaxed about leaving her with Candice. I am very grateful Candice reached out to me ~even though it was short notice that we were leaving on our trip. Candice came for our meet and greet "play date" she was on time and I let Harley meet her at the door. I think it was love at first site. They got along so well 🌹🥰 If you have anxiety about leaving your furry kids with a sitter~ cast all of those worries aside~ Candice will take care of them with love and care ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jonesboro on Rover is $39.96 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 31 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jonesboro. 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 Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro 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 Jonesboro 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
