“Diane was wonderful! I felt confident and comfortable with her from our first meeting. She took great care of my 3 cats while we were away and sent me pictures from each visit. The communication was solid and she was just overall amazing with my fur babies! I will definitely use her services next time we are away!”
“We are so grateful for Haylee! This was a last-minute decision, and we had never done anything like this before—but she made the entire experience absolutely amazing. Haylee was incredibly kind and kept us updated every step of the way while we were out of town. We’ll definitely keep booking her as long as we possibly can!”
About: I have house sat and watched up to 5 animals at a time; including dogs,cats and fish. I have been doing dog sitting jobs for the past three years. I love playing with animals, and giving them the attention they need. I am great with all animals, and excellent with giving medications and any taking care of any other needs. I currently work Monday - Friday until 4pm. My weekends are flexible and so are my evenings. If a day time potty break is needed, I can work it into my schedule. I currently reside in a townhouse so if your fur baby stays with me there is plenty of room to run around. Our back area isn’t fully fenced in but also allows them some supervised time to be outdoors to hang out as well.
“We have used Trent multiple times to drop in and care for our animals and walk our dog. Trent is reliable, trustworthy and always available when we need him. Thank you Trent!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog parent. I have hands-on experience caring for a reactive dog, which has taught me patience, awareness, and how to read canine body language. I understand that every dog has unique needs and comfort levels, and I strive to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for each pet in my care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. Pet care is a part of my daily routine as I care for my own dog every day. I prioritize walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment activities, and monitoring behavior and well-being. Having a reactive dog has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of providing a safe and structured environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home or a client’s home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, closely supervise pets, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. As the owner of a reactive dog, I understand the importance of reading body language, respecting boundaries, and creating a calm, low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s needs.
“Ally is amazing. She goes above and beyond for me and my cat Mia. It was really important to me to get a pet sitter with cat experience. Ally is reliable, responsive and flexible. She sends me pictures of Mia, which is the highlight of my day. She also makes sure Mia gets plenty of play time, in addition to doing unpleasant chores such as cleaning out the litter box. I’m a little OCD but Ally didn’t bat an eye when being given two pages of care introductions for Mia. Ally is the best! I’m so glad I found her! If you are looking for a reliable pet sitter you can trust, look no further! (I will continue and book with her time and time again.)”
About: Providing a serene second home sanctuary for your beloved pets. Our home is quiet and calm and I can provide the utmost care for your babies according to their needs. Prior to booking, reach out for an exploratory conversation and then if things click, we can do a short meet and greet before final booking. I'm a stay at home mom. My husband works from home and my children are older. I have a flexible schedule for pet sitting and boarding, drop in visits, and walks. I can cater to the dogs needs as per the owner's directions. We live in a single family house, on a quiet cul de sac in a sleepy suburb of Johns Creek. There are many community amenities where I can take your pets and I am in close proximity to many parks in the area.
“Maria is an AMAZING pet sitter! She is very kind and I loved my daily updates from Preston, my cat. She is attentive and was able to assist me with a last minute family emergency. Thank you, Maria!”
About: The voice for those with none. I have an intellectual connection to all forms of life and worked with dogs and animals of every kind as well as owned. From a stable hand to training dogs in groundwork I have grown to love assisting my passion for humanitarian work in all forms. I have worked at wolf sanctuaries, zoo’s trained the stubbornest of breeds and helped maintain kennels throughout the east coast! I also have the ability to be a loving playful friend for your beloved family member at times of need. *Experience with aquatic life, bunnies and birds as well I am available all week any time of the day to Play walk and house sit! I often do walks at safe and environmentally controlled places. I designate a safety spot for pets to decompress in the comfort of my home, An entire room almost like a home away from home! As far as my clients home I appreciate being showed the ropes to household rules for me to abide by. My #1 priority is the safety and comfort of our beloved pets and making my clients life a bit easier.
“Summer was great with my two cats! One of my cats is very cautious when meeting new people, but with Summer he warmed up to her very quickly. Summer played with my kitties and made sure that they got lots of attention. I really appreciated that Summer sent pictures of my fur babies while I was out. Seeing them lounging and playing, gave me the added reassurance that they were happy and well taken care of.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life, raising power breeds like Dobermans and German Shepherds alongside tiny pups. I’m also a true cat whisperer with a natural connection to felines <3 I have over one year of professional dog and cat sitting experience and I'm excited to bring my skills to Rover. I would love the chance to spend time and get to know your pet! What You Get With Me: 24/7 WFH Supervision: I work from home full-time, which means your pet gets constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and is never left alone for long periods. Home Management: For house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect. I water plants, bring in mail, and guarantee I will leave your house cleaner than I found it. Specialized Experience: I have over a year of experience managing complex needs, including senior dog care, dogs with special needs, medication administration, and handling large breeds (I own a Great Dane and Shepherd mix!). When you book me, you aren't just paying for a sitter; you are paying for the peace of mind that comes with a reliable, professional adult managing your home and best friend. I work from home full-time, so I am available to provide round-the-clock supervision for your pets. Your dog will never be left alone for long periods and will get frequent potty breaks, playtime, and constant companionship throughout the day. I can easily adjust my work schedule to accommodate your pet's specific feeding and walking routine. I have specialized experience caring for senior dogs, including administering oral medications and managing their comfort. I am physically capable and confident handling large breeds, as I own a Great Dane and a Shepherd/Pitbull mix myself. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety and supervision to ensure every pet stays happy, healthy, and secure.
“Tyiesha was great! Communication was a breeze and she arrived timely for each drop-in! I could tell her and my sweet boy were great friends! I will definitely re-book her in the future!”
About: I love dogs! I have grown up with dogs in my home my entire life, and I've never met a dog I didn't love. Leaving two dogs behind when I left home for college out of state was one of the hardest things I've ever done. Sometimes I miss them so much that I've been known to FaceTime my parents just to see my pups. Our current family dogs include a 9-year-old Australian Cattle dog and a 4-year-old Pittie. We also had an Australian Shepherd/Blue Heeler mix who lived to be 12 years old. My family has always viewed our pets as family members, and I have always had a hand in caring for them, even as a little kid. When I care for your dogs, I treat them and love them as if they were my own pets. I am on call 24/7 when I am with your pet. I set daily recurring alarms on my phone for mealtimes and potty breaks throughout the day. Their happiness, safety and health are my top priorities. TYPES OF ANIMALS I HAVE CARED FOR: 🐕 Dogs 🐈 Cats 🐹 Guinea Pigs 🦎 Geckos 🐢 Turtles 🐟 Fish SPECIAL PET CARE EXPERIENCE: 💉I am skilled at administering oral and injectable medications. 🐶 I have cared for diabetic dogs and senior dogs that require a high level of care. 🐶 I can care for multiple animals at one time. My most frequent repeat client has an elder diabetic dog, two small toy dogs, and a turtle. I care for all of them when the family is away. 🐢 I can either stay in your home overnight or come for regular visits during the day. You decide what is best for your pet. HOUSE SITTING: In addition to pet care, I provide full house sitting services. I will collect mail/packages, put out & take in trash/recycling, and water indoor/outdoor plants, including grass. I am happy to stay in your home, or just come and go to check on it. The choice is yours. I know that leaving your pets for any length of time can be sad and stressful for both you and them. As I mentioned above, my two favorite pets live out of state. I will love your pets, care for them, and spoil them just like I do my own dogs. This is my part time job, so your dog is my schedule and daily work routine. Whenever your dog needs care, that's when I'm there. When I'm at your house, my priority is to make sure your dog is nothing but happy. When it's nap time, they sleep. When it's mealtime, they eat. When they are outside, I will make sure they are taking care of their business safely and will play with them, whether that's with toys or running with them. If they like to snuggle, I'm happy to do that, too. The happier they are, the happier I am.
“Ana-Lisa was a great caregiver for our doggy while we traveled out of town for a few days. She did drop in visits and did everything we asked and kept us up-to-date with a note and photo each time. We will use her again for sure!!”

Meghan did a fabulous job of taking care of my two dogs. She gave me great feedback and sent me some really cute pictures of my puppies. My dogs were very happy when I got home and I can tell they were well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter!
Anna was AWESOME! She did drop-in visits for our 2 mini bernedoodles and they absolutely loved her. She went above and beyond to make sure our pups were comfortable and well taken care of while we were on vacation. She is truly a dog whisperer, providing many photos and videos every time she dropped in showing how much fun the dogs were having with her. We had so much peace of mind knowing our pups were so well taken care of. Thank you, Anna!
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!

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.
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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
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.
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
