“Christy did an amazing job caring for our two dogs while we were away. She communicated with us throughout our trip, sent lots of great pictures and updates, and made us feel completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups, and it was clear they received plenty of love and attention. We highly recommend Christy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring pet sitter—we will absolutely book with her again!”

About: If you’re looking for two dog obsessed floof enthusiasts🐶🐶🐾🐾🤩🤩 who provide full-time care and can't get enough of spoiling your fur children...look no further, you’ve come to the right place! We do this because we LOVE to do it, not because we have to❤️. We are Tom & Nikki and welcome to our Rover profile😄 - 🐶ABOUT US🐶 Hi, I’m Tom😊. I’ve been an animal and dog lover since I was a kid! When Nikki and I got married, I became a proud fur dad to her two beloved elderly English Bulldog children. Caring for their special needs and medications taught me so much about senior dog care. Sadly, when we had to say goodbye to both of them😢, our home felt empty without the tippy tap sounds of their toebeans running around everywhere😔. We truly missed the joy and companionship dogs bring, which is why we decided to open up our hearts and home to provide exceptional love and superior care to the wonderful dogs of our community. We consider your dogs not just pets, but cherished family members of our own family🐶❤️ - Hi, I’m Nikki😄. I’ve had a lifelong dog obsession for as long as I can remember🐶😍. I’m definitely “that" dog person who spots a furry floof in the distance and immediately drops everything to run over to squish it with love. It’s impossible for me *not* to get attached to every dog in our care😆. As a matter of fact, Tom always jokes that I need therapy because I never want to let them go. I’d happily keep spoiling each one forever! Of course, he also reminds me that they do have families they eventually need to go back to🤣. I’ve owned and loved three English Bulldogs, a breed known for being incredibly high maintenance in every way. Because of that experience, I’ve developed a keen eye for noticing even the smallest changes in a dog’s behavior, health, or mood. By default, every dog in our care is treated like our own❤️, and we don’t know any other way to treat these precious babies Tom and I consider angels on earth😇🥰 - 🐶SIZES WE CURRENTLY ACCEPT🐶 Nub🤏🏼 (teacup/toy): 0-10 lbs Floof☁️: 11-20 lbs Chonkmuffin🐽: 21-30 lbs Chonk🦛: 31-40 lbs Super Chonk🐽🐽: 41-100 lbs Floofasaurus🦖: 101+ lbs - 🐶PLEASE NOTE🐶: Because safety is our number one priority for all dogs under our care, we have a zero aggression policy. Meaning that if your dog currently has (or has any history of) signs of aggression towards other dogs and/or humans, unfortunately we cannot accommodate them here in our home. We do not offer segregated boarding. For the safety of your dog and the other dogs here, your best option may be a sitter who watches one dog at a time. In the event your dog were to show aggression during their stay and compromise the safety of the other dogs here, please have an emergency contact where you can arrange to pick up your dog - 🐶MEET & GREETS🐶 Meet and Greets will take place in our front yard and be limited to 15 minutes. We do not give a house tour due to liability reasons, however there is a collection of pictures on our profile that you can use for visual reference :) 🐶OUR CURRENT SCHEDULE🐶 Nikki is home full-time for doggy daycare and boarders. Tom is at work two days a week and home full-time the rest of the days for daycare and boarders when he is not doing drop-in visits and dog walking. On Sundays, dogs will be crated between 9:30-noon when we’re at church - 🐶SIZES WE CURRENTLY ACCEPT🐶 Nub🤏🏼 (teacup/toy): 0-10 lbs Floof☁️: 11-20 lbs Chonkmuffin🐽: 21-30 lbs Chonk🦛: 31-40 lbs Super Chonk🐽🐽: 41-100 lbs Floofasaurus🦖: 101+ lbs Our cozy home is an ocean of coziness with fluffy dog beds, blankies, and pillows in every area for your dog to lounge and relax in. We have a nice air conditioner that cranks in the summer and a nice heater that keeps the home nice and toasty in the winter, and we have a securely fenced-in yard where your fur baby can enjoy sunbathing, outdoor playtime, leisurely walks, and the infamous sniffing and exploring doggies love to do. Because safety is our number one top priority, they are never left unsupervised both indoors and outdoors. Potty trained dogs are allowed on most furniture (we regularly deep clean every part of our home, especially all the furniture upholstery and rugs). We want them to feel right at home the moment they arrive in our driveway! - 🐶DROP-OFF/PICK-UP🐶 When you arrive here for drop-off's and pick-up's (and Meet & Greets), please have your dog on a leash. We will unleash them once they're safely inside our securely fenced-in yard. - 🐶DURING YOUR PUP'S STAY🐶 When your dog first arrives, we closely observe and monitor their interactions with other dogs (because we typically have multiple dogs here with us at any given time) to be aware of any dynamics that require attention. If any concerns arise, we promptly separate dogs into separate areas (we have multiple gates secured to each doorway inside our home) to ensure their well-being and comfort. - 🐶FEEDING🐶 At mealtime, your dog will enjoy their food in a designated and separated area, ensuring they can savor their meal without interruptions from other dogs. This practice not only prevents food-related aggression but also reduces the likelihood of digestive problems that may occur when consuming unfamiliar dog food. - 🐶SLEEPING🐶 For the safety of all the dogs staying with us, for bedtime they all sleep in crates with a clean and cozy bed and blankie that we will provide. We have a wide variety of crate sizes available, so no need to lug yours over here. We’ve got you covered! All you need to bring is their food and their collar/harness.

About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)

About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.

About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the unique needs of felines, and I provide a comfortable, loving environment for all pets. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular feeding, playtime, and walks throughout the day, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate special needs and adjust routines as required, all while keeping your pet safe and happy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and receive attention. I follow your pet’s regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, while offering extra care if needed, such as medication administration or special dietary needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions for their care, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away.

About: Something that was sent me apart from other sitters that I’m very versatile. I love the pets that just chill but I also love the ones that want to get up and play. I’m down for both. Hey! I’m Tee, a freelance videographer with a lifelong passion for animals. So I kinda make time for your fur baby. Since the age of four, I’ve been surrounded by dogs, making me an experienced and loving pet caretaker. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me exploring parks and trails with my furry companions. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I’m committed to providing them with the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s a fun walk or some quality playtime, your dog’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend soon! I have a huge fenced in yard as well as a smaller fur baby. I am also fine with crating your baby if it needs to be crated but it’s not my first choice.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. Which has lead me into the field of being a veterinarian technician. Which I have been doing going on 6 years now. Now looking for another aspect of the vet field of helping your fur baby or babies. I do work full time but have Friday-sunday off as my regular schedule. So I'm fully available to take care or stay overnight for pet care for those quick weekend getaways. I'm very aware of anything a pet maybe going through with my certification as a veterinarian technician . I'm very aware of how to give meds and etc.

About: I’m that friend that you know you can trust with your furry child. I love animals more than humans honestly. I have a big space of empathy for animals and love on each one as if they can feel my energy. Because they can. I’m currently free 24/7 so it won’t be difficult at all to make room for furry friends in my daily routine. My job is to make music and I create my own schedule. I always carry myself with the mentality that I leave a space better than I found it. I definitely have slight OCD so I’ll always make sure things are tidy and safe for your furry child.

About: Effective October 15, 2026: I am relocating and moving services to Milledgeville, Ga. I will reinstate my pickup/dropoff fees. Please review the profile in its entirety. I will host a few doggy play dates throughout the month. I am employed as a nurse PRN. With that being said, my schedule is as flexible and open as I intend for it to be. Potty and feeding times are considered when making my schedule for the day. Fur babies typically get let out Q4H. Dogs are not allowed free range. Pups are either let into fenced in backyard or dog park, or expand their horizons on an open field with 50 or 100-foot tethers to run around. Although their recall may be good with you, I want to ensure your babies come back to you the way you left them. I follow directions and your suggestions to the T. I take care of them the same way in which you'd take care of your babies.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Apalachee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 833 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Apalachee. 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 Apalachee. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.
