About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I'm passionate about providing safe, compassionate, and personalized care for every pet. I'm a third-year University of Georgia student majoring in Animal Biosciences on the pre-veterinary track. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets in both veterinary and boarding settings. Throughout high school, I worked as a kennel technician, caring for more than a dozen boarding dogs at a time. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, bathing, and administering oral and topical medications. I also earned a Fear Free Handling Certification, strengthening my ability to recognize and appropriately respond to both canine and feline body language. I'm currently an intern at a veterinary clinic, where I'm gaining hands-on experience with patient care while practicing medication and injection administration under veterinary supervision. I also regularly volunteer as a trainer with the Guide Dog Foundation, where I continue developing my skills in positive reinforcement and canine behavior. At home, I care for my own German Shepherd and Great Dane/Labrador mix, giving me extensive experience with large, energetic breeds and senior pet care. You can expect dependable communication, regular photo updates, and attentive, individualized care tailored to your pet's unique needs. I have a flexible schedule around my part-time veterinary clinic internship and will do my best to accommodate your pet's needs. Feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I’m happy to work with owners to find a schedule that works for everyone. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll carefully follow your care instructions, maintain your pet's routine, and treat your home with the same respect I'd expect for my own. You'll receive regular photo updates and clear communication, so you can feel confident your pet is in caring, reliable hands.
“Elizabeth helped me out last minute when in a bind for a drop in visit for my two pups on a holiday weekend. She was trustworthy, communicative, and SO great with Moose and Milly. I'll definitely be booking with her again in the near future.”
“Unity was wonderful and gave us updates and pictures with every visit. We even had a little ant problem and Unity took care of it for us. It really shows that Unity loves animals and they love her.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, and even chickens, which gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior and care from a young age. In recent years, I’ve personally raised and cared for my cat Skully and pittie puppy, Kora, taking on the day-to-day responsibilities that come with raising a happy, well-adjusted dog. I recently completed a puppy training program with Kora, where I learned hands-on training skills focused on basic obedience, leash walking, and positive reinforcement techniques. This experience has taught me patience, consistency, and how to adapt my approach to each dog’s unique personality and energy level. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety, clear communication, and creating a calm, positive experience for both pets and their owners. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and extended care, and I’m free on weekends as well. My schedule allows me to provide reliable, consistent care and give pets the time and attention they deserve. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits and focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own home and neighborhood. On walks, I follow your dog’s usual routine, use positive reinforcement, and always prioritize safety. During drop-in visits, I take care of feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll always send updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.
“Elizabeth did a wonderful job taking care of our sweet Missy, who is really old. She even cleaned up after her, which we appreciated so much! We will definitely request her care again!”
“Crystal was so sweet, she was great at providing updates and pics, My fur babies really took to her. I have a little yorkie who is loving but a barker, she was able to soothe him and my usually elusive ragdoll cat seemed to make an appearance for her each visit. She was wonderful, I would definitely ask for her again!”
“Amanda did a great job from beginning of the process through the end of helping with Sookie. She came and spent plenty of time with Sookie, taking time to make Sookie comfortable with her. I received pictures each day while I was travelling, I also received a note on how Sookie was doing. I will definitely call Amanda the next time I need another dog sitter.”
About: I understand that all animals have different needs and have different personalities. I can adapt and care for each pet to fit their needs and yours. I have two snuggly kitties myself and frequently petsit cats and dogs. I grew up with large dogs as well and have experience fostering as well. Open to other animal types as well! I also have experience as an equestrian and barn attendant. Before I relocated I cared for two mini ponies regularly when their family was away. Even though I work full-time, I have some flexibility during the week and will do my best to accommodate your needs. My most available times are mornings and evenings. These work well for both recurring and one time bookings. I have noted below what areas may have limited availability. If you are looking to request during these times please feel free to send me a message to double check! Weekdays: Early afternoons 1130am-2pm are limited to Mondays and Wednesdays for repeat requests. One time afternoon requests outside those days may still be possible please message me to check. Weekends: flexible for the most part! Saturday - availability between 8:30am-12:30pm will be limited. Please check with me about requests during this time. I am very careful to the follow instructions given to me when working with your animals and strive to give the best care to your pet and treat them as if they were my own.
“Jeremy has always done a great job in watching our senior dog. He sends detail updates and pictures. He gives our dog his medicine that he needs and plenty of treats. Also, Jeremy gives our dog plenty of belly rubs which our dog loves. He clearly has a genuine love for dogs.”
About: I’ve always had dogs growing up and love being around them! Every dog has unique needs and personalities and I love getting to know them. I currently work from home doing a 9-5 corporate job so dog sitting fits perfectly with my lifestyle and schedule. I can take breaks in between meetings for walks and play time during the day as well as plenty of time in the afternoon for long walks. My home is quiet and peaceful as I like to spend my time reading and watching movies. I live by lots of trails and parks and I love being outside so we’ll go on lots of long walks. The trails and parks aren’t busy so they’ll be stress-free for your pup. On the weekends, I hangout at home or go out nearby. My apartment complex has a fenced in dog park and there are walking trails nearby. I live on the fourth floor with a big balcony so plenty of fresh air during the day. I don’t have any pets and just live with my partner.
About: I am new to Rover but I was a foster for a shelter in Florida for 5 years, I have had many different types of dogs and cats. I love animals and would have a lot more if I could! I stay at home all day and I am available to care for your pet anytime. I love being around animals weather it’s playing ball or just walking. I live on 3.5 acre and have a fenced yard. I even have a fence in front yard. I like to use leashes for my little dog when I go outside due to coyotes. My dogs are in my house and can roam anywhere.
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have been a proud cat owner for the past year and a half, so caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. What sets me apart is the genuine love, patience, and attention I give every pet. I know that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion, I'm happy to provide the care they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work full-time, but I make pet care a priority! I'm available before and after work, can stop by during my lunch break for visits or walks when needed, and have much more flexibility on weekends. I'll always do my best to accommodate your pet's schedule and keep their routine consistent. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to keep them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and have a clean, safe environment. For cats, I keep litter boxes clean and tidy, and I understand how important a clean space is for their comfort and well-being. I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own.
“Excellent experience with Jeffrey. Our care need was last minute and our dog is quite shy. Jeffrey was patient and kind and we could tell from his check-ins and photos that our dog warmed up to him. So grateful for the peace of mind from his reassuring reports and photos.”
“Allie did an amazing job caring for our Wynnie going over and above. She truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Allie for your fur babies loving care.”
“Sariah was an absolute rock star! She took such good care of our pups and truly listened to every request we had. She relieved any sort of anxiety we had about leaving them at home. She is so sweet and your pups will be in such good hands!”
About: I have about 6 years of pet caretaking experience. Animals are special to me and I care deeply for them. I make sure to give all of my love to animals as if they were my own! I am currently home for the summer and out of school so I can be available to take care of your dog anytime of the week! Your dogs will be treated with as much love as if they were my own. Dogs are the most gentle things on Earth and deserve everything. I will give my full attention to them and make sure their every need is fulfilled.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alpharetta
Working with Sakinah was a pleasure. She was easy to communicate with and I felt very safe and comfortable trusting my dog with her. Even better is I was in a pinch needing a 2pm dog walker on a Saturday and she was the only one available which was even more gold to me. She also kept me updated on the visit. I highly recommend her! Will be using her in the future!
Amari was an absolutely incredible pet sitter, and we could not be more grateful for the care she provided to our pets. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring. It was obvious that Amari genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. All of our pets were happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned, which speaks volumes. Amari went above and beyond by providing regular updates and photos, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. It truly felt like our pets were being cared for as if they were her own. We would recommend Amari without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate pet sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Katherine was so fantastic with our dog Stuart. We left the country for 2 weeks and we were nervous about leaving him alone but Katherine was so amazing with him. She played frisbee with him twice daily and provided some fantastic photos. Communication was amazing and she looked after Stuart for an additional day because our flights got delayed. We felt at ease knowing he was being looked after so lovingly. We will definitely be using Katherine again. I highly, highly recommend her! I honestly think she and our dog formed a special bond together 😃

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 Alpharetta 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.

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.

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.
