“Kaitlyn was amazing! I loved receiving the rover cards each day of our trip keeping us updated with how our babies were doing and sending photos along with that, it’s really a great comfort while you’re away. I feel like my animals were well taken care of, and I will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Kristine is great! She does 30 min drop ins for my dog. What I really appreciate is she is fully engaged with my dog and talking to him and playing with him the entire time, she is not sitting on her phone. My dog seems to really like her and we will continue using her for our care!”
“Ariel did a great job with our kitty -- took care of everything he needed and was diligent about her arrival timing. We appreciate this first visit and getting to know her and looking forward to more!”
About: Hi!! I have had animals my WHOLE life, grew up on a farm so I’ve always been around animals. I have a cat that’s declawed and two kiddos in my home that love meeting new friends. I work from home and would love to help others by dog sitting and/or walking. I’m able to take the dogs out first thing in the morning, lunch time, and 2x in the evenings. I do have a fenced yard for the zoomies and a neighborhood with a sidewalk for walks. I look forward to getting to know your family pets and working together :) I take bookings only when I know I will have plenty of time during your pets stay to be sure they’re being walked and supervised while running around the yard. I have a fenced in yard for letting your pets outside and a crate, if your pet is crate trained. I am happy to follow any special instructions that you may have for your pets.
“Caitlyn is amazing at what she does. She is beyond caring for your pets and goes the extra mile. She is very friendly, reliable, prompt, accommodating and makes booking a breeze, EVEN at the last minute and during busy holiday times! There are so many things I could say that highlight how wonderful Caitlyn is. Our 3 cats received the care and attention they needed, and our house was even kept tidy, (especially since our youngest cat was into tearing up our Christmas decorations, which Caitlyn took it upon herself to clean up every mess). We loved how Caitlyn pays attention to every detail! Before sitting she meets with your family and makes sure that she knows your pet(s): from treats, feeding and routine, down to the way they like to play and interact. We never worried a minute while we were out of town because she has EVERYTHING under control. It was such a comfort knowing that our pets could stay in their own environment and routine. We would HIGHLY recommend Caitlyn and her pet sitting services. She went above and beyond our expectations, she provided photos each day, very detailed Rover cards each day, and gave us brief text updates daily, as well. She is very trustworthy and we were very comfortable having her in our home. She was meticulous and detailed, and that was very appreciated. We are so grateful to have found her, especially during a holiday time, and can't wait to utilize her services again when traveling.”
About: Hi! My name is Becca and I personally have had animals my entire life but besides personal experience I have been working as a kennel assistant at a veterinary clinic for a year now. I’ve had experience with everything from itty bitty babies to senior citizens. I’m currently in my undergrad at college to eventually attend vet school and I would absolutely love to meet your fur babies and hopefully gain more animal experience in the process!! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out. If I have a time blocked off you need, contact me, I’d be more than happy to work with you on anything. I’m also open to adding basic grooming services such as baths and nail trims if needed🐾 I’m currently working and attending college so my availability would usually include mornings and nights on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & as of right now Saturday and Sunday. However I am available in the morning, afternoon, and nights on Monday and Wednesday until approximately October! I’ll always respect and care for your home and fur babies as if they were my own. I will follow any given instructions you leave for your pet and I’ll make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of while you’re away!!
“We love Courtney, she was so sweet with the boys! Sent me some adorable photos of them and we had a quick meet and greet just a couple days before on short notice, so that was super helpful and I greatly appreciated it. I’ll definitely be booking with her again eleven the time arrives. 😊”
“Hannah was amazing had very great communication and sent constant updates of when she was heading in, while doing the check in, any updates on my dog and etc. all at a great price thank you Hannah for the care.”
About: I’ve taken care of 5 of my dogs for as long as they were with us on earth, my friends and family have relied on me to watch, feed, walk, run with their pets and we are all happy… pets happy, busy owners chilling, and I get to enjoy them for a while too. I’m currently working a few days a week and my schedule is somehow very flexible so I can be available to help you with your pet needs. I would care for your pet/fury baby as my own in your home and most important always respecting any routine that you might have for them.
About: I absolutely love both cats and dogs. I am willing to care for animals in my home or your home, whichever you prefer. I am available for long term and short time care. I am currently working part time but would prefer pet sitting. With enough bookings I would be able to quit my part time job. My shifts right now are mostly 3 to 6 hours. I have a small fenced yard if you prefer your pets stay at my home. My back door has access to the fenced yard. Your pets would have free reign of my home including furniture and beds.
About: I have been around dogs since I was 3 years old. I have always had family dogs and recently lost my German Shepherd. I have pet sat for friends and family since I was in middle school. I work from home so I will be able to drop in multiple times throughout the day. I currently do not have kids so am very flexible with my time. I can stay overnight in your house with your animals and drop in multiple times a day. I have a lot of experience with strong dogs and enjoy taking dogs on adventures or just walks around the neighborhood.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Josephine is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 846 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Josephine. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Josephine. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
