About: Experienced pet sitter and proud pet parent to a corgi and two cats! I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including those who need extra patience with potty training or medication administration. As a young professional with plenty of free time before starting my full-time job, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, attentive care. As a young professional with plenty of free time before starting my full-time job, I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable, attentive care. I prefer caring for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable and can stick to their normal routines. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, or overnight house sitting, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and personalized attention while you’re away.
About: I've had two medium sized dogs since I was little. I helped care and train them their whole lives. They've both had health and behavioral issues that I've helped my family navigate (potty issues, food issues, more comfy spots). I currently have three cats of my own. I have had all of them since they were 8/9 weeks old. My two older cats are distinguished gentlemen. They have no problems and are very spoiled. My young kitten is already potty trained and gets along with others well. I currently work full time M-F in the 7 45 to 5 range. I only work ths mornings of a few saturdays. I am lucky to have an hour long lunch, so I could easily check on a pet 2/3 times a day even during the week. On the weekends I'm more open. I would be open to caring for pet in my home, but it would depend on their behavior. By this I mean I dont want your pet to be more stressed/upset with you gone because they aren't used to other peoples homes. I also have three cats, so theyd at least have to be comfortable with them being in another room nearby. However, caring for your pet in your home I'd be very respectful of their routines and likes/dislikes. I'd love to play with them or go for a walk, and make sure they have all other necessities ready for them.
“I recently had the pleasure of using Jeanette for my diabetic kitty, Stella, and I couldn't be happier with the care provided. From the start, Jeanette was incredibly attentive and professional, ensuring that she understood Stella's special needs and medication schedule. During my time away, Jeanette kept me updated with regular photos and detailed messages about how Stella was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. Stella requires precise insulin administration and a strict feeding routine, and Jeanette handled everything perfectly. It's clear that Jeanette has a genuine love for animals and a solid understanding of how to care for pets with special medical needs. When I returned, I took solace knowing Stella had been well-cared for. I highly recommend Jeanette for anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter, especially if your pet has special medical needs. Thank you, Jeanette, for your exceptional service!”

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.

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 request a 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.
