“Christopher was outstanding! He was very attentive and playful with my dog and was sure to take care of her since is an older dog. He took her on her walks and checked in throughout his stay. He even washed and dried the linens before I arrived home! Very thoughtful! Have already booked Christopher again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have ensured the best care possible for them. I have also cared for family and friends pets for the last 7 years while they are away ensuring they are fed, cared for, and entertained! I’m currently part-time with availability after 3pm during the week but full availability on weekends. I am able to come in and care for pets after work and on weekends. I make my own schedule at work so I have some flexibility. I ensure I know where all the pets things are (food, treats, leashes, toys) as well as numbers in case of an emergency. I follow all rules provided by the client while respecting the client’s home and privacy.
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 13 and have always been comfortable around animals. Over the years, I’ve also watched dogs for my uncle and cared for neighbors’ pets while they were out of town. I currently have a cat of my own, Nimbus, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust looking after your pet. I’m happy to handle feeding, walks, playtime, litter boxes, and just spending time with them so they’re comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and spending time with your pets. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and will do my best to keep things familiar and comfortable for them while you’re away. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, litter boxes, and other care. I’ll respect your home and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and gets plenty of attention while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jonesboro
Christopher was absolutely wonderful! He provided us with several updates and photos. We felt very at ease on our vacation knowing our two pups were in good hands. We were gone 8 nights and when we came home our dogs were the happiest they have ever been after being with a pet sitter. He was just amazing with them. The smiles on their faces in the pictures said it all! We highly recommend Christopher and will certainly use him again.
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 ❤️

The average cost of House Sitting in Jonesboro is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $58 per night.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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.
