“Alyssa was awesome, highly recommend if you want/need that peace of mind! From beginning to end, Alyssa left me feeling re-assured that she has our girls covered while we dealt with a crisis/life. She was accommodating to our changes in plans and is very communicative. Definitely will be using her for any dog care we may need.”
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.
“Heather was a great pet sitter! The daily check-ins and photos showed us that our pet was being well cared for, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely use her again if she is available for our future travels.”

“Katrina was fantastic! I reached out on short notice and she was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and easy to work with. She took great care of both of my dogs and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Really appreciate her stepping in and making everything so easy. I’d absolutely trust her with my dogs again and highly recommend her!”

About: I have been dog sitting since I was kid and I have own dogs since I was in middle school. My family even had 3 dogs at once. I work from home half the week and I am available to watch dogs. I would love to check in on your dogs or have them come hangout with mine during the day. I have a fenced yard with a doggy door that the dogs can use to have access to outside. My dogs love having friends to play with.

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.
“Vivian did a great job with the needed drop-in visits for my two dogs! She kept in communication when she was arriving and sent lots of photos of the dogs during the visits. I can tell that she treated my dogs with so much love! They received lots of pets and she followed instructions about feeding perfectly. I’d recommend her for drop-in visits to anyone!”


About: hi, i'm ashli! i grew up with 3 dogs and now that i'm on my own, i'm open to taking care of your dogs and giving them the care & love that they deserve! i believe that animals are not here for us to abuse or exploit, which is why i care so deeply about animals and their wellbeing. i will do my best to make sure your pup is as comfortable as they can be :) my days are laid back since i have a remote part-time job currently, so that gives me more time to be able to be with/care for your pups! my goal is to always provide your pup with as much care, love, and attention that they need in their own homes while their owners are away - further creating a safe space for them to relax and feel "at home"
“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 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!
About: My name is Rylie and I’ve spent my life caring for and loving all animals. I worked at a boarding facility for over three years, and have experience caring for all different breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments! I’ve also had many dogs throughout my life ranging in sizes from teacup poodles to great danes! I currently have a dog and a cat; to keep me from getting more, I’d love to dote on yours! It’s my dream to open an animal sanctuary so spending my free time caring for your babes is near and dear to my heart! I look forward to meeting you and your fam soon! I work remote so my hours are pretty flexible! Let me know what you and your babes are needing and I am sure we can make it work! Every dog is different but all require love and attention! I will cater to your pup individually! We can play with toys till we're tired or we can spend all our time snuggling!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me my entire life, so I’m fluent in zoomies, side-eye and belly rubs. I’m in college and looking for extra responsibility doing something I actually love. I’m dependable and attentive. I’m super active, so walks are always on the table. Your pet won’t just be checked on—they’ll be genuinely cared for, spoiled a little, and probably have a new best friend by the time you get home! I am very flexible throughout the week and available on weekends! I’m happy to stop in throughout the day, early mornings, or at night! Weekends my schedule is a lot more free, so I can spend more time with your furry family members! I am very capable of following any house rules, safety restrictions, or special routines your pet and home has. Happy to also water plants, move garage to curb, etc.
About: I've had dogs all my life and cats for a few years (my mother-in-law lived with us 30 years). I don't consider them pets--they are family. Presently, we have 4 dogs and a 55 gallon aquarium. We live in the Shores and I'd like to stay close (Rockwall/Heath). I'm retired, so this is a fun way to spend some time. Having used pet sitters myself, I understand the importance of having someone, you can trust, enter your home and ensure your pets are fed, water, and given ample rest breaks. I'm retired, so I have plenty of time to devote to pet sitting. When I commit to a job, my focus is on that job and to provide topnotch care for your baby. I will meet with you to get information on how you care for your pet(s). My goal is to treat them just how you do to minimize disruption for them, while providing you peace of mind. I know how it is to trust someone else with your best friends, so my goal is to allow you to be away, without worry. You can live life knowing that you will come home to your fur baby just as you left them.
About: I have a strong foundation in canine handling and care developed over many years, complemented by personal experience as a pet owner. I currently work full-time with a small-business dog groomer, learning how to groom dogs. I’m available for all overnights, but there is sometimes for drop in visits that I cannot come between 8 AM and 2 PM Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays and 11 AM till 2 PM on Saturdays.My current responsibilities include the dedicated care of two 8-month-old family puppies, and I am actively seeking opportunities to expand my practical experience with a diverse range of canines. I am dedicated to providing personalized canine care that aligns seamlessly with your dogs’ existing schedules and your specific instructions. My focus is on ensuring their physical health through appropriate exercise and mental stimulation, while also prioritizing their emotional well-being through positive reinforcement and affectionate interaction.

About: What sets me apart? Simple — I believe pets deserve more than just someone to watch them. They deserve genuine love, patience, attention, and a little extra spoiling! I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and unique needs. Whether your furry friend is full of playful energy, a little shy, or simply enjoys a peaceful environment, I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, dependable, and big on communication! You can expect updates, adorable pictures, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and tails that wag every time I return! 🐶❤️ Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I’m available seven days a week after 2 PM, allowing me to dedicate my afternoons and evenings to providing your furry family members with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s afternoon walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every visit enjoyable and stress-free. I understand how important consistency and trust are when choosing someone to care for your pet. My goal is to provide dependable, personalized care while giving you peace of mind knowing your fur baby is in loving hands! 🐾❤️ I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own familiar surroundings. When caring for pets, I focus on maintaining their normal routines, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection! I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I adjust my approach to match their comfort level, energy, and individual needs. When visiting a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to following all care instructions closely. I prioritize cleanliness, safety, and making sure pets receive the attention they deserve. Communication is just as important to me as quality care! I provide updates and pictures so pet parents can relax knowing their furry family members are happy and in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel like family and every owner feel confident in choosing me! 🐶❤️
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I first learned to walk, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors. Whether your fur baby is a playful adventurer or a cozy couch potato, I tailor my care to their vibe. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and way too many photos (you’ll get daily updates, promise 📸🐾). I offer in-home boarding in a calm, clean, dog-friendly space—think soft blankets, good energy, and lots of tail wags. If your dog is a little anxious, picky, or just needs that gentle feminine touch, you’ve found the right sitter. I have two sons that love dogs just as much as I do, and they help make our home feel warm, loving, and welcoming for every pup. ✅ I’m available for meet and greets always. ✅ Special needs, shy and senior friendly! ✅ Puppy friendly!! My vibe is grounded, nurturing, and detail-oriented—but also fun. I’ll send updates, stick to your dog’s routine, and make sure they feel totally loved while you’re away. Let’s connect! Your pet deserves nothing less than intentional care from someone who adores what they do 💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my days naturally revolve around care, connection, and consistency—so adding pets into that rhythm feels seamless. I’m already tuned in to routines like morning walks, mealtimes, and keeping a calm, nurturing environment. Whether it’s letting a pup sunbathe while I sip coffee or sneaking in cuddles during nap time, animals easily become part of the flow. I love the energy they bring to the house—whether playful or peaceful—and I’m always present to notice what they need. Pets fit right into our home like family, and caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s just another way I get to show up with love and intention each day. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s specific feeding times, medications, or extra snuggles before bed. I have a secure, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play, sniff, and stretch their legs freely under my supervision. Inside, they’ll find cozy spaces to relax and lots of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family, tuning into their needs and making sure they’re comfortable, engaged, and always cared for with kindness and patience.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Josephine is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 4,088 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:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
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.
