“Serenity took excellent care of our baby Buster. Her communication with us was great before and after her stay. I would recommend her for any of your pet or house sitting needs.”
About: I have extensive experience with animals of all sorts. I grew up with English mastiff dogs, then became a husky lover later on in life. I've owned sheep, goats, cows, horses, chickens, dogs, cats and much more. I grew up on a mini farm and we always had different animals who were raised with lots of love and care. I'm looking to replace one of my part time jobs with taking care of your awesome pets! I will only accept clients if I have the time to give your pets the best care. I am great at following your most detailed instructions for your home. At this time I cannot care for pets in my home because I am not set up for that but will be in the future.
“Meme is a senior Chihuahua mix, so she’s set in her ways and headstrong. But Casie was great with her! She gave plenty of updates while we were away, and Meme was in good spirits when we got home. We will definitely book Casie for dog sitting again in the future.”
“Melli was great with our pups and cat, she sends frequent updates so you know your pets are being taken care of. We have some rambunctious dogs, so I felt good leaving them with someone who cares! She left the house clean and our dogs seemed to have had a great time! Hoping to be able to use her services in the future!!”
About: Hi, I’m Halie, and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I had a Black Lab named Jasmine (yes, like the princess from *Aladdin*!), and when she crossed the rainbow bridge, my mom adopted Maggie, a rescued German Shepherd mix. Maggie was spunky, a little wild, and always ready for snuggles. In 2013, I moved from Ohio to Houston, Texas, and saying goodbye to my childhood dog left a hole in my heart. A few months after settling in, I adopted my sweet Coco, a Black Mouth Cur mix. She is affectionate, full of life, and has taught me a lot about caring for dogs with separation anxiety. Shortly after adopting Coco, I began working at a pet resort, where she came to work with me every day and spent her time playing in doggy daycare with her friends while I managed the front desk. I worked there for two years and gained valuable experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Today, Coco and I live in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs recovering from TPLO surgery, administered insulin injections to diabetic dogs, and provided various oral and topical medications. I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. As a stay-at-home mom with a daughter who will be going into second grade, I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to meet your pet care needs. I would love the opportunity to get to know your furry family members and provide them with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I am currently a stay at home mom of 1 daughter who is in second grade. I'm available from around 9am until 3:00 when she gets off the bus. I am free Monday-Friday and occasional weekends and after 3pm if needed. I do not offer in home care but in a clients home I will follow any of the instructions they give me. Wether it is taking your babies on a walk to go potty or playing fetch with them in the yard. I am well versed in medication management and have dealt with 2 dogs who have had TPLO surgeries.
About: I work from home, so pets get consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I provide a calm, structured home where animals feel safe and included in daily life. I’m attentive to routines, exercise, and individual pet needs, and I treat every pet like family. I also have experience in home care work, which strengthened my responsibility, patience, and reliability. I work from home Saturday through Tuesday, so I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I’m also off Wednesday through Friday, which gives me even more flexibility for drop-ins, walks, or extended care. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will get consistent care and companionship. I provide a calm, safe, and loving home environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I take introductions slowly and make sure all animals feel secure, especially when meeting my dog. I have a sweet Great Pyrenees mix who is gentle, affectionate, and does best with smaller or calm dogs. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. My dog is up-to-date on vaccinations and flea/tick prevention, and I always follow owner instructions closely to make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent.
“Vance did an outstanding job pet sitting for our two older dogs. He corresponded with us regularly and provided updates during his stay at our house. We highly recommend Vance and will be requesting his services for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Tabatha is the best of the best!! I have used Rover for years and tabatha is the best sitter I have had. She has an extensive knowledge from her vet tech background and goes above and beyond caring for your home and pets. My cat injured himself while I was away & she cared for him as if he was her own. She gave my dog his medication, bathed him & LOVED them more than I could have ever asked. She made my trip stress free and enjoyable. I came home to a house that was cleaner than when I left and two happy fur babies. She even checked in to see how my cat was after her stay. Highly recommend!”
“Emily is dependable and skilled in taking care of pets. This was our first visit, yet it felt like we had known each other for longer. She communicated well with me and so I was confident I could enjoy my time away. Emily is mature and pleasant and I would definitely have her back again.”

“Geoff was fantastic with our dog while we were away on a two-week international vacation. Before our trip, he took the time to come to our home for a meet-and-greet, asked thoughtful questions, and made it clear that he wanted to keep her routine as normal and comfortable as possible. He arrived prepared and early on the day we left, which made our departure completely stress-free. We love receiving updates, and Geoff went above and beyond by sending multiple photos each day, along with detailed and entertaining updates about the great time they were having. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for. Geoff also took excellent care of our home and left everything clean and exactly as he found it. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Geoff to anyone looking for a dependable, attentive, caring, and groovy sitter!”
“Jen was amazing, and it was such a pleasure to work with her! Her knowledge and experience with dogs, especially considering our high-maintenance Siberian Huskies, left us very confident that we could trust our babies with her while we were away for a week. We have four dogs—three young adult Siberian Huskies and an older mixed-breed. Our four dogs absolutely adored Jen. We've never seen them so attached to someone other than us. Jen communicated regularly and sent us pictures daily, and we could tell our dogs were being well cared for. She was respectful of our home and left it nice and tidy. She checked our mail, brought in our trash bin, and even let us know of a house issue that came up while she was sitting. I’m so happy we found Jen; she was the only reason we were able to enjoy our vacation stress-free without worrying about our dogs. If you’re looking for a professional, friendly, experienced sitter who will take excellent care of your pets, Jen is highly recommended. Thank you so much, Jen! We hope to work with you again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 272 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Mount Jackson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Mount Jackson 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 Mount Jackson 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.
Tip: 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 Mount Jackson 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
