About: I’ve never been bitten. I grew up around strays and my family trusted me to walk them. I lead a volunteer group for The Humane Society, and I just love dogs! They help me deal with military life. I’m big into hiking, and I WILL carry a dog first aid kit XD. I go to School M-F from 8AM-2PM, and Church Sun 8AM-1PM. I need the money, but I do it mostly as a passion project! Very high drive dog friendly. I live in a one bedroom apartment across the street from a MASSIVE dog park. I’m huge into fitness and nature, and I will WALK your dog in nature if you want.
“Cameron is absolutely amazing. I have brand new puppies and she made me totally comfortable with taking care of them for me. She is super responsible and responsive! I’m definitely recommending her to my friends and family.”
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
“Rachel was amazing with our 2 boys! Very responsive and spent quality time with our bbs. We enjoyed the pictures and updates! Thanks Rachel the boys can't wait to have you as their Rover again!”
“Emma was amazing with my cat, Toast! She was communicative, reliable, and even stayed extra some nights to give him more cuddles and attention. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my home and pet, and I'd definitely recommend her to others.”
“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very kind with her, and left detailed updates and pictures each day. I would definitely book her again!”
“My dog always has a great time with Kearia! I also appreciate that she keeps me up to date during her visits. She was also to accommodate my visit last minute, very professional and reliable.”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child. I’m a lifelong dog owner and have experience training my own three-year-old miniature red poodle. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperament and frequently help friends with their pets. You can count on me to provide dependable, loving, and attentive care. My schedule at PA school keeps me busy, but I’m flexible and dedicated to caring for your pets! Monday through Thursday I’m available for quick drop ins or walks in the morning before 8 AM and evening after 4 PM. Friday, Saturday and Sunday my entire weekend is open! I am available for full days of doggy daycare, extended walks, and overnight pet sitting. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and loving environment for your pet. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I prioritize, positive reinforcement and lots of affection. I believe in plenty of exercise and will make sure your pet gets frequent walks and playtime. Your dog will be cared for in my comfortable apartment, where they can enjoy a friendly atmosphere. My three-year-old miniature red poodle is a sweet, well-behaved companion who loves meeting other dogs and is always up for a walk. To make sure all pets feel safe and happy, I only accept dogs that are dog friendly and enjoy the company of other canines. Your pet will be part of our daily routine, including our regular walks and cuddle sessions.
“Ashley did a fantastic job! And even our shy kitty came out to see her on her drop ins. Thanks to her, we were able to travel without worry, because we knew our senior cat would get his medicine. Thank you so much!”

About: I have 2 beautiful dogs. I have been taking care of dogs for over seven years now. I have personally trained my own dogs and their are both well behaved boys! Hi there! 🐾 I’m excited to offer reliable, compassionate pet care services designed to keep your furry family members happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently provide drop-in visits and dog walking services every day except Tuesday, as well as doggy daycare on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. As a full-time nursing student, I’ve developed strong skills in responsibility, attentiveness, and care. My background in healthcare means I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding calmly in unexpected situations. While I may not have formal veterinary training, I bring a nurturing, detail-oriented approach that translates naturally into high-quality pet care. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My schedule is structured but flexible within my available days. Because I am in school full-time, I carefully plan my availability to ensure I can dedicate quality time and focused attention to each pet I care for. I do not rush visits—I prioritize meaningful interaction so your pet feels comfortable and cared for, not just “checked on.” Whether you need a quick drop-in, a refreshing walk, or a full day of care, I’m here to help make your life easier and your pet’s day brighter. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! 🐶💛 I can care for your fur babies in any environment. In my home I have a fenced in backyard where your baby can run free. I treat animals like humans and they are all welcomed on the furniture! I try to stay fairly active so I can take your dog on short jogs or long walks.
About: I have always been around animals my entire life! And I also have a fur baby of my own so I know how difficult it can be which made me want to help out other people! I don’t have a job so I am always free since I am a college student and have all the time on my hands and what better way to spend it then with animals! My dog is like my child which I know that how it is for a lot of people which is why I will always care for your animal like mine!
About: I've taken care of at least 3 dogs on a consistent basis since I was 10. I've handled all types of breeds. I've been asked to watch dogs for extended periods of time and am willing to do what I can for any pet in need. I've had some medical issues that required me to lose some weight and walking pets is a big part of my journey and still is and I want to help other pets in need. I have a fenced in yard with three friendly dogs. I've had to go through training with two of them for a couple years and I have a lot of patience. I live near medvet and multiple veterinarians.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 10 years and have experienced in long and short term pet sitting. I’m flexible and adaptable for each pet personality! I have a part time job, currently working about 20 hours a week. I only work about three days a week, so I’m flexible and often available for your pet’s needs. I can respond to any of your pets needs. I love going outside to play, go for walks, or have a relaxing day with your pet!
“Kyra was wonderful as usual. We’re so lucky to have a consistent care taker for our cats. She was also very flexible and accommodating when we had a last minute change in plans. We can’t thank her enough!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - West Jefferson
Emily did a great job managing multiple drop-in visits a day with my senior Goldendoodle and 11 wk old Bernedoodle. She was very professional from the start of making arrangements to the final visit with my pets. She kept in touch and responded quickly when I reached out. I felt very comfortable leaving her with my pets and the keys to my home. I highly recommend her!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a West Jefferson stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 West Jefferson 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!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in West Jefferson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
