“She was amazing and helped us out last minute with our pups! She even offered to come meet them the day before, which we really appreciated. She kept us updated the entire time and made us feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I can remember. I grew up with at least 3-4 dogs in my household at all times, volunteered at the local animal shelter to help take care of the overflow of dogs, fostered a litter of puppies, and of course the occasional dog sitting for a neighbor or family friend. I am currently working 2 part time jobs at the moment, but they usually include short days and hours. I am mostly available from mid afternoon to nighttime on any given day, especially weekends! Schedule is subject to change weekly. I have a big kennel in my home if it’s ever needed. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and other equipment like poop bags, leashes, or harnesses.

“Debra was awesome!!! I have several cats and a dog, and she made sure all were cared for and given love. She sent me several pictures morning and evening and a report on how everyone was doing. She made me feel comfortable leaving my babies with her. I will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: My whole life i’ve owned and cared for pets. From all ages and breeds, I have exceptional experience! I’m the type of person who treats pets as if they were babies! Whether it be laying in bed with me or playing outside, I truly love it all. I’m a part time graduate student so I am home for most of my week! I’m happy to take care of fur babies any day and any time of the week! I am a two minute walk from a dog park that I love to take pets to play and even bathe! I don’t have any children so my focus will be on them😊. I’ve crate trained and also happily invited pets to lay with me on the couch and bed😋

About: Pets are more than just animals. They are part of our families and deserv to be spoiled and loved since they are only with us for a short time. I do transports for rescues as often as possible to help as many as possible to find loving homes. I currently have two dogs and between jobs so my availabilty is pretty open. I can't do overnight/house sit because of my two boys, but can check in and visit anytime. I'm available for walks and house visits, but can't do overnights. I can check or visit at any time though. I treat all animals as good, if not better than my own. I appreciate their various personalites and quirks. One of mine is reactive towards mainly men and other dogs, so I understand some need special attention that others may not. They are all unique individuals.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with multiple dogs in my home and loved every second of it. I don’t mind watching dogs of all ages. I’m also used to walking dogs of all sizes big and small. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch or walk your animals! I am definitely available to work weekdays and most weekends. My home does not have a yard so I prefer to watch your animals at your house. I don’t mind crating your animals while I’m gone if you need me to. They will definitely get a lot of attention from me because I love giving them pets (if they want it of course).

About: I’ve owned all types animals ranging from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles. They have all lived long and spoiled lives. I love animals and treat them very well regardless of whether they belong to me or not. I’m a friendly and cheerful personality. I’m very patient with even the most stubborn of fur babies. I set walk or restroom schedules based on the needs of the pets and adhere to all rules given by the owners. I’m a very detailed-oriented person. I’ve been dog sitting and dog walking for friends and ex-coworkers for the last three years. I really enjoy spending time with animals and helping people out. It can be stressful trying to work or go on vacation and constantly worrying about your four-legged family members. You can rest assured that your pet(s) will be in good hands. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8 am until 4 pm. I’m available for lunchtime potty and play breaks if needed. My nights and weekends are free to give your fur family the attention and care they deserve. I do not offer boarding services as I have a kitten that prefers to be the only four legged creature inside of the house at all times. Just let me know what activities your pets enjoy and I will make sure to keep them engaged during the stay.

About: Hey, it’s Katie, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was born! I’ve professionally dog and cat sat since 2018. The first dog I ever boarded was an elderly blind dog named Daisy. She sparked my love for taking care of other’s animals, it meant so much to me to see Daisy happy and excited to see me come home, even if her human had to go out of town! I have two dogs, two cats, and two birds currently! I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, special needs dogs, and giving daily medications. Munchkin, my forty pound American Foxhound, hates the rain, has separation anxiety, and has epilepsy so he’s medicated daily. I am a full time student with mostly online classes. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can work with special requests. I am all about communication and willing to accommodate any needs your pet may have! I have years of experience with different personalities, training, and caring for a variety of animals! I also have a waist leash to be able to walk multiple dogs at the same time, if that is important to your family’s needs!

About: I have loved and cared for pets my entire life. After years of looking after the animals of friends and family, I am excited to expand my services and provide that same trusted, dedicated care to your furry family members! I am a small business owner at a salon and also work part-time as a gym receptionist. Since my shifts are only 2 to 3 hours long, I have a lot of flexibility! As a proud owner of three cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep animals happy, healthy, and safe. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and love I give my own. Whether your pet loves energetic playtime or quiet companionship, I tailor my routine to their specific needs. I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, clean environments, and providing plenty of affection so you can have total peace of mind while you're away!

Brijaye showed up on time every day (weekday, weekend and holiday) and took great care of my 3 cats. I even saw them waiting by the door for her to arrive in the morning. She sent several pics each day and a little note about each one's behaviors (eating, hiding, etc). I highly recommend her and will definitely will plan to use her services again!

Eric took great care of our dog while we were away. He was very respectful of our home, as this was our first time using Rover. Our pet is a senior dog who can be grumpy at times, but he and Eric became besties over the course of his drop-in visits. I would definitely choose Eric again if we need this service again. Thanks again, Eric!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Old Jefferson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Old Jefferson is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 567 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Jefferson. 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 Old Jefferson. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
