About: I’m a trustworthy and caring pet lover who understands how important pets are to their families. I have experience helping care for dogs and other animals, including feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and giving them attention and affection. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I have a flexible schedule and can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, exercise, and companionship. I keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment and always follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. I have experience caring for my own dogs and cats, which has taught me the importance of patience, attention, and understanding each pet’s unique needs. I take time to help pets feel comfortable and secure, closely supervise interactions with other animals, and provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home.
“My fur baby who is normally standoffish around all new people took to Brittany right away. Brittany is very patient with her and provides daily updates. I would definitely use her again.”
About: Over the years, I have house sat for numerous friends and family while they were away on vacation or business trips. I genuinely love getting to play and take care of other peoples animals. You can be at ease knowing your fur baby will be happily waiting for you to return home. I also worked at a vet clinic for about two years taking care of small and large animals. Therefore, I am very comfortable with a wide array of animals. I do work a 40 hour per week job as a landscape estimator. Monday, Wednesday, & Friday I work from 7am-4pm. Tuesday & Thursday I work 9am - 5pm. Any time outside of these hours is flexible. I currently live in an apartment with my 50lb Labrador named Gus. This is why I am not offering in house pet care haha. He is definitely spoiled, but is crated during the day while I am at work so he does not eat my furniture. I drive home every day at lunch and let him outside to use the restroom. While I am walking your dogs I would like to also walk my dog. He is super friendly with other dogs and is honestly a big goof ball. If you request for me to take care of your animals in your own home I always care for them as instructed. Being, gentle, friendly, and loving with them is obviously apart of the job, but the specifics for feeding, potty breaks, etc is dependent on the situation.
“Tracey was the absolute best! She sent updates everyday and took the cutest pictures. I am very lucky to have found her. She is professional, knowledgeable and punctual. She was a wonderful choice to trust with my babies. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Jostyn is an amazing person who communicates efficiently, promptly, and is great with my dog. She helped me put items inside and ensured that the trash was taken out, making sure my dog was as comfortable as possible.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and my family brought home our first dog. Now, I’m a pet parent to an extremely fluffy and needy great pyr as well as an equally needy and chatty siamese cat. I am no stranger to a dog brush, vacuum, or giving medication to the most unwilling canine clients. I am a full time middle school band director, so this is something I am interested in making part of my free time and hobbies! I am extremely organized with time management, so I can fit most things into my schedule with appropriate notice. I have a fenced in yard, cat litter box, and impact dog crate (great pyr sized), so I can accommodate different needs! My pets live on the couch during the day watching the news, so yours can too!
“Always great to have Victoria drop in on my cats! She’s super quick to respond and always sends me an update so I feel better while I’m away. 10/10 would recommend :)”
“Had a great first visit with Stacey! My pups get very few visitors and were overly excited and she handled them so kindly and they absolutely loved her! Looking forward to having her care for my pups in the future.”
“Gretchen was truly amazing. This was our first time using a dog sitter and she was such a comfort! Boomer was very well taken care of while we were gone and we will definitely be rebooking Gretchen anytime we travel!”
About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember. My pets are my children so I love them fiercely. I have worked with and volunteered with animals for the last 15 years. I’ve spent time with pets in a clinic environment as a vet tech, a shelter environment as a kennel tech and dog walker, and a rescue environment as a volunteer. My volunteer time has included transporting pets, walking dogs, helping mamas who just had puppies, and loving on new puppies too! I have flexibility and freedom with my schedule. I can do drop ins, stay and visit with your pet for a bit, and do feedings or give meds if need be. Because my own dogs can be knuckleheads, I can take care of your pets in your home. It might help make their time away from you easier for them anyhow. I can take them for walks, play with them in your yard, take them for car rides, and just hang out with them. My goal would be to make your pets as happy and comfortable as possible. When they’re happy, you’re happy…and then you can enjoy your time away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Josephine
Alyssa did a wonderful job caring for my cat Scout. And Scout is not easy to care for. She is 18 years old, arthritic, deaf, and partially blind. And she needs medication twice a day. Alyssa visited her for a half hour twice a day, gave her her medication, fresh food, and water, and cleaned her litter box. She also brought in the mail and turned on the porch light at night and turned it off in the morning. She sat and kept Scout company during each visit and sent new pictures of Scout to me so I could see that she was doing well. If you have an older cat that needs a little special attention, I would highly recommend hiring Alyssa as your cat sitter.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Josephine stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
