“Jaci is awesome! She took great care of our dog, Tasha and was extremely accommodating with some schedule changes that came up. Tasha loved being with her! We will definitely have Jaci help us again in the future!”
“Laney is a superstar! This is the second time she has cared of our pups and just as with the previous time, they were super happy to see her. We have absolute trust in her and enjoy how she loves our pups as much as we do. She will always be our first choice, when it comes to caring to our canine family.”
About: Your pup will receive the exceptional, personalized care they deserve! I go above and beyond traditional pet sitting to make every stay fun, enriching, and memorable. During the summer, pups can enjoy walks, splash-pad fun, doggy pool days at my home, and special pet-friendly events hosted by PetSmart and Hollywood Feed. During the holidays, I love creating festive experiences with pet-themed celebrations, special activities, and goodie bags! I prioritize safe, supervised socialization, plenty of one-on-one attention, and opportunities to play with other dogs when appropriate. Your pup will have access to tons of toys, interactive sniffing toys, dog puzzles, and lick mats to keep them mentally stimulated and entertained. With owner approval, I also offer quality, organic treats and pup cups for extra-special rewards! I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and life stages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I understand that puppies need consistent supervision, positive reinforcement, patience, and opportunities to learn, explore, and burn off energy. Senior dogs deserve that same love, with care tailored to their comfort, mobility, routines, and individual needs. My goal is to make every pup feel safe, loved, included, and right at home. With plenty of playtime, enrichment, affection, and personalized attention, I strive to send every dog home happy, fulfilled, and ready for a well-deserved nap I’m currently a student, primarily with morning classes, and I stay on top of my coursework by completing assignments promptly and staying organized. This allows me to have plenty of availability and flexibility for pet care. I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I care for so they receive the attention, companionship, and care they deserve! I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every pet feels at home. I follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs. I always respect each pet’s personality and boundaries while providing plenty of supervision, affection, and companionship. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, attentive hands!
“I cannot recommend Sophie enough! We were in a huge pinch with a last-minute booking for our Teddy, during our two-day wedding event. From the start, she was an absolute professional—responding quickly and even making letting us know immediately if she's available. She provided frequent photo and message updates throughout the two days, which completely eased our nerves while we were busy with wedding festivities. She followed all care instructions perfectly, and in a last minute issue she never broke professionalism. Knowing Teddy was in capable hands allowed us to actually enjoy our wedding weekend without worrying. We returned to a happy dog who clearly was well taken care of. She truly went above and beyond for a specialty booking like this. If you need someone I highly recommend Sophie!”
About: I have been pet sitting/ dog walking for almost 7 years now, and I absolutely love it! As a huge animal person, I can confidently say that pets are my passion! I want to love your furbaby like I love my own! I would love to take care of any needs you may have. Feel free to ask any questions! I am a junior at Ole Miss. I mostly have online classes, so I am free a lot! I am also free for overnight housesitting needs! I have 2 dogs back home in Georgia and I miss them so much! They are the happiest pups ever! My roommates and I have a Golden Retriever that we adopted last year! As far as boarding and doggy daycare goes, he would love to play with your pup, but they can also be easily separated if needed! I have so much love for pets, and would love to share so much love to yours!
About: I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. I’ve had numerous different types of animals, even exotic ones! I would love to watch y’all’s furry babies. Thank you all! I’m available week days and weekends due to a limited work and school schedule so I have plenty of time to cater to pets needs. My neighborhood has a fenced in dog park that pets love to run around in or if your pet likes to snuggle I’m so down to cuddle.
“Natalie is a wonderful young lady who is working while in college. Our golden doodle loves her and our family does too! Thank you Natalie for keeping Saige for us during Ole Miss graduation week! We will call on you again and look forward to seeing you soon!”
About: I’ve cared for my own dog and cat for years, helped care for my roommate’s dog, and done drop-in visits for households with multiple dogs and cats. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away! I am a student at Ole Miss, so I have class M-F! I am free early mornings, afternoons, and nights! I’m only in class for about 3 hours each day, so we can communicate on what times would work best for you and your pets! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in both my home and my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and calm, and pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I also make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully to keep every pet safe and stress-free. I have a 15 year old dog myself, so I know how important it is to make sure he feels comfortable, taken care of, and loved!

About: I treat every pet like my own—with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with medical needs.

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 Taylor 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 Taylor 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 Taylor 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.
