“She was fantastic. Communication was easy and clear from start to finish. She understood how to handle huskies and the interactions were smooth. She even cleaned up the mess because one of my dogs got sick in his crate. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jazmin watched our two cats for a week. Each day I received multiple photos of them as well detailed accounts of how much they are and their overall activity level. She communicates amazingly and is always quick to respond. Will definitely be booking in the future. And my cats loved her!”
About: I was born and raised around dogs! Mostly all animals. I’ve had all types of dogs, mostly Yorkies! I have a dog of my own along with two cats and a guinea pig! I will be able to be around your dog for roughly the entire time I have them. I do currently work part time at AMC theatres! I work Tuesday,Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday, at 5pm! I will be able to anytime during the week, as long as it’s before I work at 5, or on my day off! :) I will be able to work around my work schedule to fit to your needs as well. I have a mostly fenced yard, the way the yard is set up only the drive way is not fenced. I do have cameras all around the house which I have full access to! You’re dog will be in my view 24/7!
About: Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my profile! I’ve been professionally walking dogs for over 4 years, and I absolutely love what I do. I currently live on 30 acres in Roundup, Montana with three happy dogs, so being around animals is a natural part of my everyday life! Living on a property surrounded by open space has given me an even deeper appreciation for animals and the care, attention, and patience they need. I love getting outside, staying active, and spending time with dogs, whether that means going for a long walk, playing in the yard, or simply keeping them company. I’m flexible and happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a quick drop-in, some playtime, or companionship while you’re away, I’m here to help however I can. I also have experience working at a horse rescue where I cared for horses, donkeys, pigs, cats, and dogs. I’m comfortable around all kinds of animals and truly enjoy getting to know each one’s unique personality. Feel free to message me with any questions. I’d love to meet your furry family and help give them the love and care they deserve while you’re away! Pet care is a regular and important part of my weekly routine. I work late nights at a local bar, which gives me plenty of flexibility during the day and early mornings for walks, drop-ins, or pet sitting. I’m also available for late-night walks, which is especially helpful during the hotter months here in Arizona. I plan my schedule around the pets I care for to make sure they get the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s a quick visit, a long walk, or extended care, I make sure your pet is a top priority in my day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space and the animals with the utmost respect—just like I would in my own home. I follow all instructions carefully to maintain your pet’s routine and comfort, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, walk times, or play preferences. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure in their environment, especially when their humans are away. I also make sure to leave your home exactly as I found it (or better), and I’m happy to provide updates, photos, or anything else that helps you feel confident and at ease while you're away. Clean water, love, attention, and a calm, reliable presence are always guaranteed. I’m here to support both you and your pet however I can!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 224 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shepherd. 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
