About: Hello, I am a vet tech assistant and kennel tech with about 5 years of experience! I would love to care for your pets! Thanks! I would like to work part time. I am available throughout the week from the morning to early afternoons (8 am-4pm). My schedule can be adjusted if needed. I am willing to go on walks with dogs, house sitting is available when I am off work for dogs and cats! I am willing to work with you.
About: We both work from home and are readily available to be with your pets the vast majority of the day. Their time here is spent interacting with us and being treated like family pets. Our children are grown so we have plenty of time and energy to devote to the pups. Their happiness, health, and safety are top priority. Dogs that are guests in our home are surrounded by love and companionship while their humans are away. We have experience with seniors, puppies, and many health issues including allergies, injections, and seizures. We have a fenced in back yard and a dog friendly vehicle for trips to get a puppuccino or the dog park. Working from home honestly opened up the door for me to provide pet care in my home. They spend the vast majority of the time they are here with me instead of being kenneled or left alone. I offer tons of supervised play in the backyard, relaxing belly rubs, and your dog may even join me on work related video calls from time to time. We truly lead a dog inclusive lifestyle. In our home we offer a very family oriented care. Safety is huge and we do everything we can to ensure a safe environment for our guests. We understand you will likely worry about your pup while away so we also provide regular pictures and updates during their stay.

“I’m not exaggerating when I say Jazmine is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had! Our dog can be timid around new people, but Jazmine was so sweet and patient with her that she quickly warmed up and felt comfortable. She was friendly, responsible and professional. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and even left our house looking great. We couldn’t be happier with her and will absolutely book her again. We highly recommend Jazmine to anyone looking for a wonderful, reliable pet sitter!”
“Came into town to escape hurricane Barry and brought Oreo with us. Oreo is a very finicky dog, who can't be left alone without throwing tantrums and so I didn't feel comfortable leaving him alone in the hotel. She was quick to respond and was open to watching Oreo last minute, so we could go have dinner and spend time out. I will definitely use her again in the future. ?”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Olive Branch
Mikayla was very professional and able to watch the animals last minute. I’m not sure if the expectations were unclear, but she arrived late for the house sitting and then the only updates I received were a few blurry pictures for the weekend of my 2 dogs and cat. When I asked how they were doing she said they were doing good…as a pet sitter myself and the fact that I emphasized that I wanted updates, I hoped that she would have told me when my dog didn’t eat and updates on everyone. Fix that and I’d give her 5 stars!
Lyndsay was an excellent petsitter for my two dogs this past weekend. She took wonderful care of them and kept me updated the entire time with regular messages and photos so I knew exactly how they were doing. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. Highly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Olive Branch is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $61 per night. 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.

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 Olive Branch 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 Olive Branch 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 Olive Branch 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.
