About: I have had experience with cats my whole life, dogs about half. I own two cats and have had them since I was born, but I have had friends and family with dogs along the years. I pet sit often for my Uncle and Aunt for their three dogs, and other family members for their dogs and or cats. I have plenty experience walking dogs, taking them outside, cleaning up after both animals (litter boxes or not), as well as both playing and feeding them! I am currently working part time, so I will have a decent amount of time to care for your pets! My timeframe does vary, but I am very punctual and flexible with my times. I am unavailable most every Sunday, but I will always let you know what works best for me so I can help you out! I love getting to know their personalities and sitting or playing with them, no matter how mellow or how excited! It is very important to me that I learn their boundaries and behaviors so I can give them my best care, like offering my hands out for them to smell or standing or sitting a certain distance away from them until they are comfortable with me.

“Nathan was attentive in making two visits to our home prior to our departure and answered all of our questions. He sent many photos of our pets and stayed in touch throughout our trip. We came home to a house that had been cleaned and a freshly mown lawn.”
About: First off, all money I make on boarding your family pets, go to my medical mission account, you help me raise money which goes toward serving others. I travel all over the world serving other by providing essential needed surgery. This year I am traveling to Gaulamala and Zambia. Thank you for trusting me with your family Pet and helping me serve others in the operating room. I was raised on a ranch, so I’ve been a lover of animals ever since I could remember. Now married to a wonderful man who loves that I love animals, I have all kinds. I have 5 Pygmy goats, 15 laying chickens where I enjoy fresh eggs daily, a very large tortoise that’s around 130 lbs, 3 dogs, and I think that’s it, don’t think I’m forgetting anyone. Being around all kinds of animals makes me happy. They are safe and cared for, and bring joy to my life every day. The difference between me and a lot of caregivers, is not the love of animals, because let’s face it, they wouldn’t be watching pets if they didn’t, but the property that I live on. I work 2 days a week outside of the home, I’m a surgical First Assistant in the OR, a passion for helping others. I also feel giving back is essential, so traveling on medical missions is rewarding. And the rest of the days are spend at home, taking care of our farm (zoo). We have 2 acres, and the entire property is fenced with electric gate. Plus additional fenced areas inside perimeter gate. All our animals have their own areas. Every pet is spoiled and cared for better then the humans who live here. I work outside the Home on Tuesdays and Thursday from 5:30am-12:00pm. I am a self-employed contact worker that makes my own schedule, so my schedule is very flexible. During most major holidays, I take off because there's so many people traveling, and such a high demand of quality pet care, its hard for people to find good help for their precious family members. Every animals no matter of size, or type, is treated like a family member of my own. I love all animals, and this is the very reason I do this. It is hard to find someone you trust to leave one of your own family members with, and I take that care and responsibility very seriously. During the holidays in November and December, I don't schedule myself away from home. So I’m here for your loved pet everyday all day long. our property is completely fenced, with electric gate that stays closed at all times. I also do not inter-mingle dogs until I know their personality and feel comfortable with them paying with other dogs. If they are here for a short time, then I may not get to know them well enough, and they will only play outside with me alone, or any family pets they come with.
“Pamela did an excellent job caring for our dog. We felt confident knowing he was in good hands while we were away. She made sure he was fed, had fresh, clean water every day, and even gave him a daily treat. We truly appreciated her care and attention and would gladly recommend Pamela to others.”
“Tony is an amazing! He has cared so well for our 3 heathens including a wild puppy and a needy senior. He has done so with so much kindness and grace. He stays in our home and helps our pups stay in their own routine. He cares well for our home as well and leaves it cleaner than he found it. Tony is sincerely among the best. He is definitely our go to sitter.”
About: Looking for a side job to not only help pet owners but to help me get a foot into my passion with working with animals. I have taken care of and owned cats dogs fish birds and even squirrels, I have been born and raised in a pet household owning my first pet when I was 12. I've taken care of quite a few animals, sick cats and kittens, with recently temporarily fostering a very sick kitten. I have pet set for both family and neighbor a few times. I enjoy working with animals and even enjoy teaching basic tricks and training. I work a full time job however I'm trying to get my foot into working more with animals as well at making some side cash, I'm free Fridays and Saturdays, but I do have limited freedom on Thursdays and Sundays. I unfortunately can't do boarding/ pet sitting at my own house do to my cats and family, but otherwise I can at pet owners home.
“Jennipher was great with our fur babies! Lucy is older and requires special attention and insulin shots twice a day. Jennipher took extra special care of her. Bear loved her also. She is very attentive to their needs. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy. It was nice to be able to go on vacation and not worry about them. She is awesome and sends great pictures/updates.”

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 Lone Jack 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 Lone Jack 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 Lone Jack 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 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.
