“Haley was so attentive and caring about my kittens and took wonderful care of them! She not only fed them carefully, but also spent focused play time together. I think my cats will miss her! I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.”
“Noelle accepted a very last minute request for a late evening drop in for my dogs. She quickly replied and went out of her way to do a meet and greet with me and my pups that same-day. She was on time for the drop in and spent a good amount of time showing my babies some love. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I grew up with German Shepherds and have always loved being around dogs. I currently have a small Pomeranian, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for a relaxing walk, an energetic run, or simply giving them plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your dog like one of my own! I work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the week, I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-ins, and care. On weekends, I’m available throughout the entire day and can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s routine and needs. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where every dog can feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs, and I always follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medication, and routines. I believe trust is built through clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with patience, respect, and genuine care.
“Jessica is the best! She lets our pup out every single weekday religiously, takes her for walks, plays with her, lifeguards for her, and even dries her off afterwards! I knew Jessica would be great for our dog because she is a multiple-pet owner herself, and has years of experience with dogs and cats. I honestly and truly trust that our dog is in good hands with Jessica!”
About: Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs through extended stays—one for over two months and another for about two weeks. These experiences helped me gain hands-on knowledge in feeding, walking, maintaining hygiene, and providing loving companionship. I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and committed to making dogs feel safe, happy, and well-cared for in their home environment. Pet care easily fits into my routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and make them a priority. I’m flexible with my schedule as I am currently not working and can accommodate daily walks, feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. Whether it’s early mornings or late evenings, I’m happy to adjust to meet the needs of the pet and maintain consistency in their routine. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s great for walks and outdoor play. I follow the pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding on time, giving medication if needed, or just spending quality time playing and bonding. Cleanliness is a priority for me, and I always ensure their space is fresh, tidy, and stress-free.
“Laura was so amazing with Finn! She provided updates throughout the visits and sent great pics. She watched him while I had my wedding and it was so nice to know he was in good hands!”
About: My love for dogs started when I was just 8 years old, when my family welcomed our first dog into our home. Ever since, dogs have been a huge part of my life! As a dog mom myself, I know firsthand that our dogs aren't just pets. They're family. I live every day trying to give my own dog the happiest, healthiest, and most fulfilling life possible, and I would bring that same love, attention, and care to yours. Over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and TLC. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight care for dogs belonging to family and friends. Above all, your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your best friend, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I also believe trust goes both ways. It's just as important that your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy with me as it is that you feel confident leaving them in my care. My husband, Kevin, is also a certified caregiver on my Rover profile and shares my love for animals. He may occasionally accompany me on visits or lend a helping hand as needed, so your pup may get to enjoy a little extra love and attention from both of us. I've taken my own dog to training classes and understand the importance of patience, positive reinforcement, consistency, and respecting each dog's unique personality and needs. Whether your pup loves walks and adventures, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your dog, build a trusting relationship, and give them the same love and care I give my own! ❤️ As a dog mom myself, caring for a dog is already a big part of my everyday life! I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure dogs get the exercise, attention, and companionship they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and look forward to making pet care an even bigger part of my routine! Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first! I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else's care, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I believe every dog is unique, so I take the time to learn about their personality, routines, preferences, and any special needs. Whether we're going for a walk, enjoying playtime, or relaxing at home, I'll always prioritize making your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm especially mindful of maintaining familiar routines, following feeding and medication instructions, using safe walking practices, and respecting each dog's physical abilities and energy levels. Having cared for dogs from puppies to seniors, I understand that some need extra patience, reassurance, or accommodations. When caring for your dog in your home, I'll treat your space with the same respect and care as my own. I'm also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your best friend is in good hands.
“Thank you for the last minute schedule change this week. Kevin seems to be happy and we are happy to have you take care of him. The pictures are also fun to see, especially the action shot from this session.”
“Michaela is awesome! She took care of my cat while I was away. She made time for feeding, play, and cuddles during every visit. The peace of mind I had knowing that she was taking such good care of my boy was priceless. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I love animals and have always loved taking care of them. I have had 3 cats in my life. All of which had different needs, like administering medication and after surgery care. One of my first jobs was regularly walking an American Bulldog, Elvis. He was the sweetest! I’ve dog sat multiple times for a variety of breeds, from golden doodles to bull terriers. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am able to make visits earlier in the morning, during lunch hours, and late afternoon. I plan to keep in communication with you in order to maintain safety & trust while I care for your pets! Maintaining a safe environment is important to me, I plan to make sure my care mimics yours to reduce stress on you pets!

“Margaret is great! She’s very reliable, follows all instructions, takes excellent care of our cats every time, and they seem comfortable with her.

About: With four years of experience, I've developed a deep understanding of dog care. My hands-on work has taught me to handle a variety of breeds and temperaments, managing everything from feeding and medication to special routines. My own rescue dog has added a personal layer to my professional skills. It's taught me the empathy and patience needed to build trust, proving that my approach is rooted in genuine love and a true commitment to a dog's well-being. Caring for my own rescue dog has naturally woven pet care into the very fabric of my daily and weekly routine. It's not a chore; it's a structured part of my day that brings consistency to my life, and most importantly, to his. Daily Routine: Morning: The day starts with a walk and a feeding. This isn't just about meeting his basic needs; it's our time to bond, to get some fresh air, and to start the day with a positive routine. Throughout the day: Even when I'm working, I make sure to have dedicated breaks for play and mental stimulation. This could be a quick game of fetch, a puzzle feeder, or a brief training session to reinforce good behavior. These short bursts of attention prevent boredom and keep him happy. Evening: The day winds down with another walk, dinner, and some quiet time. This is often our cuddle time, where he gets a chance to relax and feel secure, which is especially important for a rescue. When a pet stays with me, they become a temporary member of my family. My focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment that minimizes the stress of being away from home. A "Home Away from Home": I provide a structured but loving environment, mirroring a typical household. My home is completely pet-proofed, with a secure backyard for safe play and potty breaks. Consistency is Key: I work with the owner to maintain the pet's regular schedule for feeding, medication, and sleep. I have a dedicated space for each dog's belongings (food, toys, bed) to help them feel at ease.
About: I have cared for cats all my life; from owning cats since childhood to fostering neonatal kittens, I am experienced in and passionate about animal health, happiness, and wellbeing. For 15 years I have not only been responsible for taking care of my own cats, but also would cat and dog sit for neighbors and volunteer at various shelters. I would love to put my passion for animals and expertise in their wellbeing to use by taking care of your feline or canine family member! I am currently in between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible. Let me know when you need pet care and I will be there! I am the proud cat mom of two handsome boys, and my philosophy in caring for them is to be observant and intuitive. My one cat, Toby, is very needy so I have a detailed routine I am accustomed to following to ensure his anxiety is minimal; I will practice the same attentive care for your pet as well!
“Alexis was fantastic! She was reliable and my cat loved her immediately. It was very comforting to see all of the happy photos while I was gone. She went above and beyond to also help me with an issue in my house while she was there. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had pets in my home since I was born, and currently have a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old back at home with my mom now. I fostered a pup from ACCT Philly for a few months, volunteered at the Humane Society, and often dog-sit for friends/ family. I have class every day for 1-3 hours, but I am open anytime outside of my class hours and have a super flexible, accommodating schedule. I follow their request and expectation for how their dog is to be treated and cared for, while giving them appropriate attention and exercise. I ensure I am present to care for the dog and ensure all their needs are met.

I was surprised with the level of experience that Juliana had with dogs when we did our meet and greet. She was very engaging and clearly had a great connection with our pets. Will definitely plan to keep working with her in the future. I would strongly recommend
Brady is amazing. His communication is exceptional and he goes above and beyond what his duties require. We are impressed by his maturity and willingness to excel as a pet sitter. He took wonderful care of our cats and our home while we were away. We will 100% be contacting him for future sits and recommend his services to everyone who needs them. If we could give more than 5 stars we would!!
Emily has been so great with our two young puppies! She is super communicative and takes great care in making sure the puppies are fed, watered, and happily tired! I especially appreciate how flexible she has been in terms of scheduling and pays close attention to the directions we leave for her. Would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Ackworth is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $28 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 8,898 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ackworth. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ackworth. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
