“Maria and Carlos are exactly who you want to care for your dog. My Chorkie CoCo was lavished with constant attention, and pictures and videos were sent to show that she was having a wonderful time. They were very patient with her picky eating and walking her on a leash. They will always be my choice for caring for my CoCo!!”
“Temi is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of Chase ! Right off the bat when I first met her I got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and was great with my dog! When I came home after my weekend Chase was relaxed and happy. During my time away Temi sent me photos of Chase having fun which was really nice. I will definitely book her again.”

“Taylor responded quickly to our requests. She took wonderful care of my dog Lychee while we were out of town for a few days. She sent a couple pics throughout the weekend with updates too. Lychee came home happy and clean. Would definitely use her again in the future and recommend her!”

I’ve gotten daily updates and adorable photos that truly show how happy and relaxed Lola has been. It’s clear Katlyn treats the pets she watches like her own, and I’m beyond grateful for the care and love she’s given. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”

About: I am dedicated to being an attentive caretaker, providing love, companionship, and meeting all needs to ensure the well-being of any pet under my care. I’m currently taking online classes at Kennesaw State University. Being at home will allow me to effectively take care of pets that are assigned under my care. Whether indoors or outdoors, every pet receives ample attention tailored to their needs: whether it's for bathroom breaks, walks, or simply lounging, their care is tailored to their owner's preferences.
About: I’ve pretty much always had a dog by my side! I’ve had four dogs throughout my life, and they’ve ranged from my little Cavachon all the way up to a Boerboel, Great Dane, and now my Cane Corso puppy, so I’m definitely not afraid of the big babies! 🐾 My Cavachon was with me for most of my life, and I had the privilege of caring for him from his energetic puppy years all the way through his senior years. That experience taught me so much about how a dog’s needs change as they get older. I’m just as comfortable keeping up with a puppy who wants to get into absolutely everything as I am slowing things down for a senior who needs a little more patience, gentleness, and extra love. I’ve also been involved in training all of my dogs, so I have experience with puppy training, basic commands, potty training, leash manners, boundaries, socialization, and creating consistent routines. Having Boerboels, Great Danes, and now a Cane Corso has also made me very comfortable with large and giant breeds. I know they may look intimidating to some people, but I’ve always had a huge soft spot for the gentle giants! I think what really sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual. Some want to play nonstop, some want to explore every smell on a walk, some think they’re 100-pound lap dogs, and others just want someone nearby to keep them company. I’m happy to meet them wherever they are. I know how much I love and worry about my own pets, so I completely understand wanting someone you can trust with yours. I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, give them plenty of attention and affection, follow the routines you’ve established, and of course send you lots of pictures and updates along the way! ❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I have flexibility to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care throughout the week. I’m a university student, so while I do have classes and other responsibilities, my schedule allows me to plan pet care around them and dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for as well as my own. I’m available for morning and evening walks, drop-ins throughout the day depending on my class schedule, and weekend care. I’m also happy to coordinate with pet parents ahead of time to make sure I can maintain their pet’s normal feeding, walking, potty, and bedtime routines as closely as possible. When I accept a booking, I make sure I have the time to provide reliable, attentive care rather than simply fitting a pet into a busy day. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for someone’s pet. As a puppy owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care and how important the little details of their routine can be. I treat every pet I care for with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions their owner provides. I’m careful about securing doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, staying aware of our surroundings during walks, and making sure pets are comfortable and properly supervised. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their pet and their space. I follow feeding, walking, potty, medication, and bedtime instructions carefully and do my best to maintain the routine their pet already knows and feels comfortable with. I also believe communication is a big part of building trust. I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention.
About: I have two dogs of my very own. I trained my new puppy in basic obedience and house manners, ensuring a harmonious household for my pet. I am currently a student-athlete. I am more available anytime after August 10th! More available in the Winter and Summer breaks. Feel to message me with any questions! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs so your pup can have company. There is also plenty of yard space for your pup to run around.

Thank you so much for taking such great care of our sweet boy for the day! We appreciated the pictures and updates and following his schedule! We especially are so glad that you cared about his allergies and made sure to keep his face wiped and gave him his snacks! Bentley looks forward to staying with you again!
Bailey did a great job caring for Tucker while I was away! She did a fantastic job providing me with daily updates on my pet. The updates became something we looked forward to when we were away from Tuck. I will definitely rebook Bailey for my future pet needs for she did an incredible job!
Susanna was incredibly welcoming to my pup. She was receptive to all of the little things, such as his meds, and made sure to clarify anything I forgot to say. My pup enjoyed some time in the sunshine and playing with other dogs at the park. Definitely will be rebooking the next time I need someone!
Tiye was fantastic! She took Tucker in and treated him as her own for two weeks. Tucker can be a handful, but she took it in stride and didn’t bat an eye when he showed his crazy personality. Quick to communicate any issues and seemed genuinely excited to take him in :) I couldn’t recommend Tiye more.

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.

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 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.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
