About: Hi! 🐾 I’m Josslynn, and I’ve always had a huge heart for animals of all kinds. I truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for, especially when their favorite person can’t be there. 🤍 I’m patient, gentle, dependable, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet is playful and energetic, shy and needs a little extra patience, or simply wants lots of cuddles and company, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, attention, and kindness I’d want for my own, while making sure you can feel comfortable and worry-free while you’re away. 🐾💕 I’m currently 20 years old with a very open and flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and lots of love and attention. Having this flexibility allows me to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they’re never rushed or overlooked. 🐾💕 I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, cuddles, and care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. I’m patient with shy or nervous animals and always take the time to help them feel comfortable with me. 🐾💕

About: I have 5 huskies ages 9,7,5,3 and 1. Highly intelligent with the energy to match in which we walk/run 2-5 miles each day then we end it with a treat. Im working full time with availability to walk your pups everyday after 430. A walk a day keeps the stress away for the animal and myself I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to run, play and dig to bury something if wanted. Leash will wrap around waist for extra protection and stability.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes pets deserve their own little staycation while you’re away! Whether it’s a neighborhood walk, some backyard playtime, belly rubs on the couch, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to stick to your pet’s normal routine — meals, walks, medications, playtime, and all the extra snuggles they’ll allow. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is being well cared for and getting lots of love while you’re gone. 🐾 My schedule is flexible as my husband is a business owner and I work part-time for him, which gives me plenty of time to work pet care into my day. I’m happy to plan visits, walks, feeding times, and check-ins around your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Whether you need occasional help, vacation coverage, or regular visits, I’ll do my best to make things easy and stress-free for both you and your pet. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide for feeding, walks, medications, doors or gates, and anything else that helps your pet feel secure. I’m also very respectful of your home and belongings and will keep you updated with photos and messages, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a home just as you left it. 🐾

About: Hi, I’m Jess! I bring a unique, holistic approach to pet care that focuses on keeping your four-legged family members safe, calm, and completely cared for. Through my business, Salt & Soulistics, I also practice as a Canine Somatic Practitioner, Ayurvedic Animal Wellness Consultant, and Animal Reiki Energy Worker. This means I don't just walk your dog—I tune into their energy, monitor their comfort levels, and ensure that both their physical and emotional well-being are prioritized while you're away. Whether your pup needs a high-energy stroll, a patient and gentle walk for an older or anxious pet, or specialized attention, I adapt to their individual personality and pace. Why choose me to care for your best friend? • Advanced Animal Care Training: I am trained in Canine First Aid & Pathology, Canine Massage, and Palliative/Hospice Care. If your dog has medical complexities, mobility challenges, or requires specific medication schedules, they are in highly capable hands. • Nervous System Regulation: Using simple somatic and energy-work techniques, I specialize in helping anxious, hyperactive, or easily stressed dogs find a sense of safety, calm, and grounding. • Deep Lifelong Experience: Beyond my professional holistic certifications, I am a lifelong animal lover and a dedicated pet parent myself. I understand the trust it takes to leave your baby in someone else's hands, and I treat every client's dog with the same fierce loyalty, kindness, and meticulous care that I give my own. I can't wait to meet your pup and provide them with a soulful, happy, and refreshing break in their day! Pet care isn't just something I squeeze into my day, it is the central focus of my daily routine. As a holistic pet health concierge running my own practice, my schedule is intentionally structured around the well-being of the animals in my care. Because I work independently, I have the ultimate flexibility to prioritize your pup's routine exactly when they need it most. Here is how pet care seamlessly integrates into my weekly life: • Open Daily Availability: I am fully dedicated to housecalls and pet care 7 days a week, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Whether your dog needs an early morning wake-up stroll, a midday wellness break, or dinner-hour companionship, I am reliably available during peak care windows. • Dedicated Midday Windows: My daily rhythm is built around giving pups a refreshing, soulful break right when the workday gets long. I structurally reserve my midday blocks for active dog walking, sensory strolls, and custom wellness check-ins. • Grounded & Paced Bookings: I never overbook my days. I structure my schedule to include plenty of buffer time between visits. This ensures I never have to rush through a walk and can fully dedicate my focus, energy, and somatic grounding techniques to your dog without watching the clock. • Localized Travel Routine: My service routine takes me all around Delmarva and the beach areas. Because I am consistently on the road for home visits, fitting your pup into my daily transit circle is a natural, seamless part of my neighborhood routine. Whether you need a recurring weekly walking schedule or occasional daytime check-ins, your best friend will always step into a calm, reliable, and entirely dedicated routine. Because I care for your pets exclusively in the comfort of your own home, maintaining a secure, familiar, and low stress environment is my highest priority. I understand that leaving your pet requires immense trust. I design my housecall services to preserve your home’s security while giving your dog a meticulously safe and grounding experience. Here is exactly how I ensure safety and build trust during every home visit: • Meticulous Medical & Care Plan Adherence: If your dog requires complex medication schedules, strict handling protocols, or specialized mobility care, I handle it with precision. With advanced training in Canine First Aid & Pathology, Canine Massage, and Palliative/Hospice Care, I have deep experience monitoring vital comfort signals, handling precise medicine regimens, and managing physically fragile or medically complex pets. • Proactive Home Security Protocols: I respect your space. When entering and leaving, I follow strict door locking protocols to prevent escape artists from slipping out. I ensure your home stays fully secure before, during, and after my visit, and I am hypervigilant about keeping doors locked tightly if any unexpected local deliveries or disruptions happen while I am there. • Individualized, Distraction-Free Walks: I only offer private, one-on-one sessions tailored directly to your pup's unique pace and needs. I completely avoid distracting environments like crowded dog parks or group walks with unfamiliar animals. This strict personalized focus eliminates external stressors and keeps our entire outing completely safe and controlled. • Continuous Real-Time Communication: I believe that proactive updates build true peace of mind. You will receive detailed updates from every housecall, including real-time text check-ins, fun photos, and specific tracking details about how your pup's session went, what their energy levels looked like, and how they responded to their routine. • Custom Environment Adjustments: Before I leave, I make sure your pup is completely settled back into their safe zone. Whether that means refreshing their fresh water bowl, setting up interactive brain/play puzzles, or using gentle, trauma-informed somatic techniques to ground their nervous system, I leave them calm, happy, and relaxed.

About: I have had many dogs and cared for many others. It is a true labor of love for me and something I really love doing. I’m retired so my schedule is super flexible. Whatever your schedule I can probably accommodate it. Give me a try and let’s see if we can work it out. I love them but I don’t board dogs (sorry). Couldn’t negotiate that successfully with my wife. I do love spending time with them on walks or in your home.

About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience in the pet care field, with a background that goes far beyond basic sitting or walking. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also own and operate my own professional pet care business, which means I approach every booking with a high level of responsibility, professionalism, and accountability. My experience includes working in animal rescue and volunteering, where I cared for animals of all species, temperaments, and medical needs. I have extensive experience with puppies, senior pets, and special-needs animals, including those requiring medications, mobility support, or extra patience and structure. Through this work, I’ve developed a strong ability to read the body language and communication cues of different species, allowing me to understand when a pet is comfortable, stressed, anxious, or unwell. I pay close attention to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and routine, which helps me recognize early signs of illness or behavioral changes and communicate concerns clearly and promptly with pet parents. My background in rescue and professional pet care has taught me the importance of calm, consistent care , especially for pets who may not thrive in boarding environments. I am confident working with pets who need extra reassurance, individualized routines, or specialized care, and I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable and secure in their own home. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care that allows pets to feel safe and understood while giving their owners complete peace of mind. Pet care is not something I fit around another job. It is my full time profession, and I have intentionally built my daily schedule around providing reliable, attentive care for my clients and their pets. Because this is my business, I am able to plan my days with flexibility and prioritize consistency, routine, and comfort for the animals in my care. I am deeply passionate about both my work and the peace of mind it provides to pet owners. Caring for other people’s pets is something I take seriously, and I treat every visit with the same level of attention and responsibility I would expect for my own animals. With advance notice, I am available 24 seven for scheduled care, including overnights, drop ins, and extended visits. I also offer emergency visits for established clients when unexpected situations arise, subject to availability. This added flexibility allows my clients to feel supported, even when plans change. My goal is to be a dependable, long term care provider that pet owners can trust to be there when they need it most. When caring for pets in their own homes, I treat each space with the same respect and responsibility I would expect from someone caring for my own. I understand that inviting a pet sitter into your home requires a high level of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I am licensed, insured, bonded, and background checked, and I also come with letters of reference that speak to my professionalism, reliability, and integrity. I am mindful of home security, privacy, and routines, and I follow all client instructions carefully. This includes locking up properly, respecting personal spaces, and maintaining a clean and orderly environment during every visit. My focus is always on keeping pets comfortable and stress free in familiar surroundings while ensuring their home remains safe and well cared for. Whether I am providing drop in visits or overnight care, I aim to create a calm, dependable presence that both pets and owners can feel confident about. My goal is to provide in home pet care that is not only attentive and compassionate for your pets, but also respectful, trustworthy, and professional within your home.

About: Im familiar with giving medication, and providing exceptional care for all animals. I've cared for pets most of my life, and I have 5 years of experience in an animal shelter caring for cats and dogs. It's very rewarding, and it's the best part of my day when I see the happy tails, hear the purring and receiving those kisses. I dont live in Denton, I live in Salisbury. I do travel for my clients,[up to 50 miles] only if youre in need of a sitter for more than 3 days. We can discuss even further during a meet n greet. My full time work is as a gig worker. I make my own schedule, so I am able to care for your pets at any time. I love animals! I provide a safe, and caring environment when I care your pets. I love them like they're my own. Care would be in your home, and I usually stay overnight, unless you would like daily care, then I would come a couple times per day to provide meals, scoop litter boxes, take daily walks, etc.

About: Ive been taking care of little to small pups ever since a little girl. Our family has had breeds anywhere from chihuahuas to lab to boxer. Im looking forward to meeting new pups, as well as giving them the exercise and cuddles they need or desire. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out anytime! I love puppies, so anytime is puppy time. But, I'm currently available only early mornings, mid day and evenings. I do have a child at home so that will have to be taken into consideration. I work a 8-4 schedule, but I am free to leave if I absolutely need to. I can definitely do grooming. Your pet will be fed based on owners normal schedule. Dogs can be let out ever 2-6 hours depending on availability. Any rule you apply for your pet to adhere to, I will delegate that.

About: I’ve taken care of basically any type of dog in my decade of taking care pets. Patience is key when meeting new pets to give them time to trust I live and work at a campground, taking care of pets is one of my duties and since I have a house on the property with a fenced in backyard, the dogs are easily able to run free in the yard with no worries of escape. I will make sure all your pets needs are met. No matter how untrusting they may be, with my patience and care your pet will feel loved for

About: I have had several animals in my lifetime, some of my families growing up, and several of my own. I have owned a total of 5 dogs. All of my dogs have been/are rescues. I currently have 3 "puppies" that range in ages between 1-2 years old. I got two of them when they were only 6 months old and I have done all of their training on my own. Animals of all kinds have a very special place in my hear and I work hard so my fur animals can have a better life. Remember, your animals only experience what you allow them to. Let them experience life the way we do, they are only here for so long. I work from home therefore, I am available at all times. I can bring my work to your home if I need to be there for an extended time or I can leave my work at home and come take care of your animals if it will be for a shorter period of time. My dogs experience everything that I experience in my home. Such as roaming freely, having access to food and water at all times, being able to roam in the yard independently, and most importantly, they sleep on a tempur-pedic mattress at night with their humans.

“Majiyah was amazing while I was away. I was a little hesitant at first about having a house sitter stay in my home, but she made me feel completely comfortable. She took great care of my dog and my home, and she really went above and beyond. When she thought he may have had a food allergy, she took the time to cook his food and make sure he was okay. She also took him to get a bath, picked up extra dog treats for him, and even cleaned my home before I got back. I noticed that my dog quickly became comfortable with her during her stay, which is always a positive sign. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend Majiyah to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”

About: We have abundant experience in caring for animals whether they be ours or loved one's who we've cared for while they were away from their animals/house. This includes but is not limited to the following; large and small dogs (Greyhounds, Boxers, Husky, Pit bulls, mixed breeds, Maltese poodle, etc.), cats, large and small snakes (2ft - 9ft), small mammals (mice and rats, deques, rabbits, etc.), reptiles to (include scorpions, bearded dragons) .. just to name a few! Hello! I'm Victoria and I often travel with the best travel partner I've found yet, Rae. I travel frequently and am available for extended sits as needed. We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect for us! I take work with me and also additionally do gig work (i.e. grocery deliveries) if time permits while traveling. In time off from work, if not spending time with family or animals, we love to cook, find hidden gem restaurants/food trucks, explore in nature, long camping trips (we just took a 9000 mile, 2 month camping trip this year in April), projects on various older vehicles, attend concerts/festivals, or many other different events that a town/city may have to offer! We love to meet new people and pets and explore new areas... or frequent favorited locations! We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect! We still get to give our love to your animals while on the road! We come to you and follow your instructions and routines as to not disrupt your pets natural environment and daily schedule! Simply put, your preferences will be our preferences depending on your pets needs whatever it is that will make your pet most comfortable! Please note we do not smoke or vape and prefer to stay at a non smoking house. Please let us know if you smoke in your house!

FAQs for House Sitting - Showell

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Showell is $22 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 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.

As of October 2026, there are 274 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Showell. 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 Showell 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 Showell 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 Showell 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Showell. On Rover:

  • 92% 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.
