About: Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to care for their furry loved ones when they need help. I care for them as if they were my own. I work from home so your dogs will have constant company and potty breaks. I love the idea of helping others pet owners when need. I have a fence in yard that backs up to a pond. Very quiet and peaceful. All boarded dogs will come to my home, I will come to your home and walk your dog, if requested, play fetch, give attention, and gentle love to them in your place which services you request. Feed them if needed.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have had horses for 10 years, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and understanding animal behavior. I also worked for a year and a half as a veterinary assistant at a vet’s office while I was in high school. While I am definitely not a professional veterinarian or animal behaviorist, that experience gave me a better understanding of animals and made me more aware of changes in their behavior, health, and overall well-being. I know how important your pets are to you, and I will always treat them with the same care, attention, and patience I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I am available for bookings on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. On Mondays, I have classes from 12:45–2:10 PM and 3:00–4:25 PM, so I am available before and after my classes. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have classes from 3:00–4:25 PM and 5:30–6:55 PM, which gives me a good window between classes to check on your pet, depending on the distance from campus. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their individual needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications if needed, and any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure they have fresh food and water, attention, playtime, and plenty of care and companionship while their owners are away. I treat each home with the same respect I would want for my own and always make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. Most importantly, I want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands.
About: I am incredibly attentive when it comes to puppy care! I miss my dog back home so much so I’ll be sure to take care of your doggy just like he/she is my own! I know just how important fur-babies are to us all. I’ll run with your dog, play fetch, and whatever else you request of me. My schedule is somewhat flexible so I’m available when you need me to be. I’ve had dogs all of my life so I know just what they need to stay happy, healthy and fit! I’m not against longer house-sitting stays as long as communication is always an option for us. Drop-ins are convenient for me as well being that my schedule is so flexible. Walking dogs is also convenient.
“Meagan was an amazing dog walker! She truly went above and beyond while caring for Chloe, and I really appreciated the time, attention, and love she gave her. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Chloe was in such great hands. I highly recommend Meagan to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker. I can’t wait to book her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life, I also have trained many puppies and older dogs in different ways! Ask for more information! :) I work during the day although after work and before work I am more than happy to check in on your pet! Even include walks! I care for pets in homes with care as the owner would! Treats, Long Walks, Training on basic tasks, hygiene maintenance and time to relax
“Rachel has truly been the best to my pup. She came to visit/walk my dog almost daily for the past few weeks and she has been reliable, responsive, attentive, and kind. Every visit, she left me with lots of cute photos and a detailed update about my pup and their time together. My pup always seemed nothing short of happy, comfortable, and at complete ease. Rachel is a kind hearted and thoughtful sitter who truly treats your dog like her own. She even purchased my golden doodle some of her favorite treats when we ran out at home and made sure to ask for my permission before doing so! The only reason I have parted ways with Rachel is because I have moved out of town, and leaving her was the saddest part about moving! I wish I could continue service and proceed with the same peace of mind Rachel gave me. Like many pet parents, I have a lot of anxiety about others caring for my pup, but I never felt an ounce of that with Rachel. I always had the upmost confidence that my pup was in great hands. I highly recommend her to all!”
About: I had a great dog as a child and as I have grown up, I decided to get one of my own! I love taking dogs out to play and watch them run around. I also don’t mind just sitting there loving them! I am a full-time college student and a full-time sorority girl! While that may sound busy, I actually do everything online so i am always free, at any time. I have two kittens and a dog of my own to help keep your company and play. I have crates for all my animals just incase anything were to go wrong. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do own leashes of multiple sizes!
About: I have cared for pets most of my life, mainly dogs, and recently welcomed my own cat into my home. Currently, I have a 16-year-old Boston Terrier and a 7-month-old cat. I love spending time with animals and understand from experience what it takes to care for both senior and young pets. I am currently a student at Georgia Southern and work part-time as a personal trainer at our campus gym. With fewer classes this summer, I have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. In your home, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s routine for comfort and familiarity. This includes feeding, walking, and playtime tailored to their needs. Drawing from my experience caring for my own pets—a 16-year-old Boston Terrier and a 7-month-old cat—I ensure they receive loving attention and adherence to any specific dietary or medical requirements. Rest assured, I leave your home tidy and secure after each visit, providing reliable and compassionate care for your beloved pets.
About: I’ve grew up with dogs, cats, birds.. you name it. I love all animals! That’s why this app is a perfect side job for me. 😊 (I also have also volunteered at an animal shelter for a bit when I was in high school). When I was younger me and my family raised German Sheppards and I would help out with taking care of them and getting them wormed, bathed, etc. I am currently only doing door dash right now, and occasionally taking care of my grandmother who is battling cancer, so I have a lot of down time! I can follow any special instructions you may have for me about your pet. 😊 I will make sure they are crated if need be, or if they have a special diet, I will make sure they get that!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Akins Mill. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Akins Mill after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
