“As always, Tamara took great care of our fur kids. They consider her family and treat her like they do us….no personal space and demanding of treats. I love the report cards and pictures. I always know how Phoebe and Ophelia are doing and if they decided to show their extra goofy side. We absolutely love Tamara and it definitely shows in the pictures.”
“Molly is the best! She took great care of my dog while I was away. She is my dog watcher the amount of care and attention to detail was absolutely on point. Highly recommend her.”
“Kristin was wonderful! She treated my cats like her own. Great communication and consistency gave me peace of mind while I was out of the country. My cats were happy and my home was well cared for when I returned.”
“Amy is amazing with Oscar! She is always on time, sends lots of pictures and updates, and spends quality time playing with him. It's clear she genuinely cares about him, and I always have peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands.”
“Cannot say enough positive things about Ailen!! She has helped us out with our boy Ziggy twice on short-notice, and has given him impeccable care each time. We will definitely reach out again!”
“You can tell that Brian is obviously a lover of dogs, and he is very skilled at interacting with them. I would happily use his services again. His communication was outstanding throughout the duration of his visit.”

About: I have taken care of many different types of animals, and I have over ten years of experience with pet sitting. My specialty is with cats as I own three of my own!

I will provide pictures and updates with each visit and will help your fur baby receive the best care while you are away! I am working full time on week days, but I am always available after four to go visit your pets! I also have free availability on the weekends and will even stay overnight if needed! I will dedicate quality time with your pet and make sure they striving in their environment. I follow any instructions left and make sure they are engaged and happy when I leave!
“Hannah was available at short notice, and did a great job with my two pups - caring for them as if they were her own. She is a warm, friendly, and responsible person. I will use her again!”
About: Although I have the most experience with cats, I have grown up with many types of animals. When I was in elementary school, I owned a Picasso Triggerfish (which is found in the piranha family, known for their teeth). Many of my friends have had birds that I would watch for them as well as dogs. My family has owned small to medium dogs that I would often take care of. Currently, I can only take care of small dogs do to a few medical conditions that could hurt me if they were larger. After I have recovered, I would be more than happy to take care of bigger dogs. I have a vehicle big enough to transport animals easily.
About: I grew up on a local farm in Georgia, so animals and animal care have been a part of my life for as long as I remember. Growing up, I had several cats and dogs! I currently live in Woodstock, Georgia with my amazing miniature dachshund named Butters. I dog sit for friends and family all the time and will treat your fur babies like my own :) I have a hybrid work schedule. I am only in office two days a week being Tuesday and Wednesday. Besides that my schedule is open as long as my availability is there. I live in a nice complex in Woodstock. There are dog parks in my community. Some would say my own dog is the most spoiled dog ever, I over care and aim to make your fur baby feel right at home!
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong love for animals, my hands-on experience, and my ability to care for pets of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and temperaments! 🐾❤️ I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. Since I was 14, I’ve gained experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and working at doggy daycare facilities. During my time at doggy daycares, I’ve cared for everything from large Great Danes and energetic Pit Bull mixes to tiny pups with big personalities! These experiences have taught me how to understand different behaviors, recognize body language, and provide safe, attentive care. I’m also very comfortable caring for multiple animals at once! Whether you have several dogs, multiple cats, or a household with both, I’m happy to help. My doggy daycare experience has taught me how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and routines while making sure every animal receives the individual attention, patience, and love they deserve. I also have a special love for cats, especially those who may be shy, fearful, independent, or a little temperamental! Growing up, I’ve helped feral cats gradually become comfortable living indoors as loving house cats. Through those experiences, I’ve learned that earning an animal’s trust takes time, consistency, kindness, and patience. If your kitty is a little feisty, nervous around strangers, or prefers their personal space, that’s perfectly okay! I understand how to recognize signs of stress, respect boundaries, and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. The same goes for dogs who may be anxious, energetic, or need a little extra reassurance. I believe what truly makes me different is that I don’t expect every animal to behave the same way. Every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with feeding, dog walking, playtime, litter box cleaning and maintenance, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I also offer house-sitting services, so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment while I make sure your home is respected, tidy, and well cared for. Above all, I’m reliable, dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether you have one cuddly kitty, a house full of energetic pups, or a mix of furry personalities, I’ll do my very best to make sure everyone feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Your pets are family, and I promise to treat them with the same kindness, patience, and love that I give my own! 🐶🐱💕 I’m currently attending school online, which gives me flexibility with my schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs! I’m always happy to discuss availability and find a schedule that works best for you and your furry family members! 💖 When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always do my best to follow their usual schedule, whether that includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, or plenty of cuddles! I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and will make sure everything stays clean, tidy, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your beloved pets and your home. Communication is extremely important to me! I’ll happily provide regular updates, pictures, and messages throughout my visits so you can see how your furry family members are doing. Whether they’re enjoying a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or relaxing at home, I want you to feel reassured knowing they’re happy and receiving plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, knowing your pets and home are in caring, reliable, and dependable hands! 🐶🐱❤️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Applewood
Sarah saved the day with a last-minute pet sit for our cats, and they absolutely loved her! She was super flexible, kept us updated, and took fantastic care of our furry crew while we were away. We could tell our cats were completely relaxed and happy around her. We highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!
Cassidy was absolutely wonderful with Dori! She showed up right on time for every visit, and it was such a treat to get photo updates so I could see how Dori was doing while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and Cassidy handled it all with ease. She was always quick to reply to my messages, which gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I’d highly recommend Cassidy to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Tamara was absolutely fantastic! Our pups were so comfortable with her taking care of them. She has a great way of getting them to bond with them very quickly. We have had quite a few sitters over the many years of having dogs but Tamara had to be one of the very best 😊
I had a great experience with Mark ! My dog can be a little sleepy during the day due to her medication, but she seemed very comfortable and well cared for. I appreciated the updates and attention she received. It was clear she was relaxed and in good hands. Communication was excellent, and I felt confident knowing she was being looked after with kindness and patience. I would definitely book again and highly recommend Mark's services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my little Lulu ! 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Applewood is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,120 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Applewood. 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 Applewood. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
