“Our 2 dogs had such a great time with Elizabeth and Mazi! She sent pictures every day and we were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about anything with the house or the dogs!”
“Natalia is great. We had her stay for a long weekend trip. Our dog was happy while we were gone and upon arriving home showed no signs of distress. Natalia sent pictures and updates while we were away, which was very appreciated. The house was as clean and taken care of as well. There was a slight mix up of times, but to Natalias credit, she quicly corrected the situation without hesitation or complaint.”
“Erin is such a great sitter to our two pups! She is very trustworthy and reliable which means so much when you have someone staying in your home! Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Abby was great with my pup! She was communicative with me the whole weekend. Sent me videos and pics, and let me know how my girl was doing. I'd definitely have Abby watch my girl again anytime!”
“Cathy took great care of my 2 mini schnauzers. They were relaxed (as much as mini schnauzers can relax😆) and healthy when we returned home. I felt very comfortable leaving my doggies with Cathy in charge! Cathy was very communicative throughout her stay and she was respectful of our home. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We will continue to have her help us with our doggies during our times away from home.”
“Summer is amazing! She took fabulous care of our three dogs (and our house) while we were out of town. She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative, and all of our pets were happy and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Summer to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Samantha is amazing! She took such good care of Elton and sent me pictures and updates during the stay. Elton struggles to eat when I’m away and she found a way to make him feel comfortable enough to eat. I will definitely book her again!”
About: My whole life i’ve grown up with different kinds of dogs so i have lots of experience. I just love to spend time with these furry babies! I currently work part-time so I have more availability to play and care for your baby! I usually also have some help from my mom! I always make sure these pups are comfortable in my home, I have a spacious yard so they are able to play. I usually walk dogs at least 3 times a day. All dogs are welcome to sleep on beds and couches with no problem.
“Christina did an excellent job caring for my 3 month old puppy! It was my first time leaving him and she was so communicative, which made me feel so much more comfortable!”
About: I have owned and taken care of all sorts of pets for over 25 years. I prioritize building a strong bond with your pet, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Whether it’s extra playtime, special dietary needs, or simply providing a calm and familiar environment, I go the extra mile to make sure your furry friend feels right at home! As for my home, I have 2 dogs and 3 cats. The three cats do their own thing and wouldn't bother any pets that stay over. They will also not like to be played with but have plenty of spaces they can go to be safe. Our dogs, one is getting older and will play a little, but otherwise, not bother any other animals in the house. The other dog loves to play and loves other dogs, she will love to have playmates! We have a decent sized, fenced-in backyard, and I always go out with my pets to supervise as they do their animal things. I work from home so I am home most of the time while my husband works during the day. We have no children, only the 5 pets we have, who get spoiled to no end. I currently work full time from home and almost always here. I am able to take them out as much as needed and play time throughout the day. I have multiple times in the day to take them for a walk and take care of any special needs. Fenced in backyard where they can enjoy the weather and sunbathe(I will monitor when outside). I have two small dogs that would love to have friends to play with. I also have a small and large crate if needed. Plenty of toys here that your dogs can play with but can also pick them up if not allowed.
About: I have both had animals my whole life and have worked with dogs professionally as a kennel tech for 3 years! I have trained my own dogs, have 5 cats, and 4 dogs including a formerly aggressive rescue. I currently work part-time as a kennel technician. My schedule gives me flexibility for house sitting, including weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines to keep them comfortable and on schedule while you’re away. As a kennel tech, I’m experienced with caring for dogs and cats in a professional setting and understand the importance of safety, cleanliness, and following each pet’s individual routine. When house sitting, I’ll treat your home with respect, keep pets supervised and secure, and follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs.
“Booked with very short notice and Ashley was so kind to accommodate us. We were completely blown away by her true professionalism- most notably how she cared for our dog, Kiwi, who recently lost her bestie of 11 years and has been so depressed and lonely. We immediately recognized a difference in Kiwi, she is playing with toys again and has come back to her silly self. Ashley also went above and beyond cleaning our house and making sure that we came home and didn’t have to worry about anything at all. She also demonstrated excellent flexibility and communication most notably by dealing with our contractors who showed up unexpectedly to do work in the house. We are grateful to have Ashley and will absolutely be working with her going forward.”
“Having Fallin sit with our 8 week old puppy was a relief. She kept us updated regularly and took so much time with us. She came for a meet and greet before being booked which I appreciated very much. My 18 year old is very anxious about their fur babies and Fallin helped alleviate that anxiety! We will definitely hire her again!”
About: Hi, I’m Theresa! ! I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—including dogs, cats, and even birds. Before finding out about rover, I have pet sat for family and friends since I was a teenager. I specialize in giving extra love and attention to elderly pets who may need a little more patience and gentle care. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime visits, or overnight stays in your home, I make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to keep up with routines, medications, and those little details that make each pet unique. I currently only take one dog/cat at a time, unless they are from the same family. This is perfect for dogs/cats who may not get along with others or needs a little care and attention. I currently work a hybrid job and have lots of time for walks and cuddles when working from home. Also available for weekends when you want to get away on a little vacation. On walks, I go at their pace, give them fresh water, and plenty of attention. During visits, I handle food, water, litter/potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also gentle and patient with senior pets, keeping them on their routine and giving them extra care.
“Another great experience with Melanie! She takes the best care of our pups. Harper and Chop love to spend time with her! So grateful for her time. We look forward to the sweet notes left. Will continue to use her services when needed.”
About: Anyone that knows me knows how much I love animals in general espiecially dogs. I am always the go to person when a friend needs someone to pet sit or simply come play with their animals. I am big on communication so I am open to last minute bookings. I care for pets as if they are my own. I am kind, knowledgeable, yet open to advice from owners. I care and as the owner you know your dog best. I am also very active with a lot of energy so never fret about dogs that are very excited and active because I have the energy to match. I am organized, responsible, friendly, and excited to meet you and your dog companion. Hope to hear from you! I work from home so my schedule is pretty open for walks and pet sitting. A 2 weeks notice is ideal but I am open to last minute situations because life happens. I have a playful dog that loves making friends. My living room is his play domain and my apartment complex comes with a dog park as well as plenty of room for walks.
“Landry is wonderful! She was amazing with our Maltese and took great care of our home too. She's a great communicator and responds quickly to messages and also sent great photos.”

Dylan did a great job taking care of Dewey while we were away for the weekend! This was our first time leaving our 11 month old German Shepard...we were nervous but Dylan sent lots of pictures and updates which helped us relax! He was reliable, attentive, and went above and beyond by staying an extra 2hrs until we made it home late from our flight. Dewey was in good hands, highly recommend!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Lucy during our 13-day trip. Lucy is extremely anxious and skittish, but she earned Lucy’s trust early on, and by the end they were friends. That meant so much to us. She sent photos and videos every day, along with little stories about how Lucy was doing. She also took wonderful care of our house: bringing in the mail, taking out the trash, cleaning up, and even stripping the bed and gathering the towels for laundry. She left us a sweet, detailed note and thoughtfully made sure the key was safely inside when she left. We came home to a happy Lucy and a spotless house. We’re so grateful for the care she gave both, and we would happily book her again.
Jordan was very professional and communicative during her stay with my old pup. She was great about sending daily pics and updates about how my dog was doing. Jordan’s experience as a vet tech also has given a ton of peace of mind knowing that she has the experience and the ability to handle tough medical situations. Absolutely would book Jordan again!
Atri was AMAZING! She cared so well for our girls that they fell in LOVE! She was so sweet and very communicative, so I had no issues or worries with my girls at all which is great when you’re traveling so you have one less thing to worry about! I will absolutely be booking with her again! :)
Bridget was amazing! From the meet and greet to the end there's nothing less then 5 stars. She followed the instructions, gave me a daily update with photos, handled everthing with care and respect. She kept in touch with me while I was returning and offered to stay longer if needed. She would never leave a dog by itself without not knowing if the owner is safe back. I would highly recommend her, she is a responsible person who values and respects you and your dog and your special needs!
Callia was great. She came by for a meet and greet a couple of weeks before her stay. For her overnight stay, she was on time and sent updates periodically so I knew my dog was ok. It was such a relief having her here while I was away. Highly recommend. Will definitely use her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Alpharetta walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Alpharetta maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
