About: Dogs have been in my household from a young age; I am very comfortable with all breeds. Currently, my parents have a 6 year-old golden retriever that I helped raise when he was a puppy. I am an active person and an avid runner, and am prepared to walk or run any distance with your pets. I have experience caring for others’ pets, including overnight stays.

I will make it my goal to ensure the well-being of your pet. I am currently enrolled in elective rotations as a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati. These require presence in the hospital most days of the week, though my weekends are free for dog walking, as are the evening hours. I will not be on any rotations in the first two weeks of October, and also during November, December, and January. I am a long-time lover of animals and am very sensitive to the needs of the pets in my care. I will make sure they are supported while their owners are away. I have experience with overnight stays and can be counted upon to look after your home in addition to your pet. I am comfortable around all breeds, including large dogs.

I’m also happy to help with feeding, medications, and maintaining their usual routine. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates along the way so you never have to wonder how they’re doing!

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life! I like to roller skate with my dad’s dog, Bellevue. I think pets should be spoken to like they absolutely know what we are saying. I’m currently in NKY for an extended time for family matters and I am completely free to provide pet care to those who need it. I will give them love and adoration. They will be on leash, unless instructed otherwise… I think daily exercise is important for both human and pets alike.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mount Saint Joseph
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Jacqueline! Ruby is only 10 weeks old, and I already cannot imagine our lives without her. Jacqueline shows up with the biggest smile, so much love, patience, and genuine thoughtfulness. She takes the time to get to know Ruby’s little personality and quirks, sharing what she’s discovering about what Ruby likes, dislikes (leaves), and needs at this stage. Her constant updates, communication, and reassurance mean the world to me, especially as a first time dog mom. She’s always offering helpful suggestions, encouragement, and support, often before I even know I need it. It’s so clear how much she genuinely cares about Ruby and our whole family. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her. Our lives truly would not be the same without Jacqueline, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly- We feel incredibly lucky to have found her! Our lives truly would not be the same without Jacqueline, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly! ❤️

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 Saint Joseph 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 Saint Joseph 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 Saint Joseph 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.
