“What can I say?!? Tristan was professional, prompt and honestly a better than expected. I was concerned because it was my first time using the service let alone leaving my sick dog with someone in my home while I traveled for work, but Tristan was communicative and consistent. If I could give him 6 stars I would!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine love for animals and the care, patience, and attention I give each one. I believe pets are family, and I want every animal in my care to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, respecting their routines, and making sure they receive the attention and affection they deserve. I have experience working with Rover, and I understand the importance of being dependable, communicating with pet parents, and treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether caring for an energetic puppy, helping a senior pet feel comfortable, or giving a shy animal time to warm up to me, I approach every experience with compassion and a willingness to learn. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their furry family members feel happy, loved, and well cared for. I currently work a morning job with a hybrid schedule, which gives me some flexibility throughout the week. My afternoons and evenings are generally pretty open, making it easier for me to schedule pet care, walks, drop-ins, and quality time with animals. I enjoy being around animals, so pet sitting is something I would love to incorporate into my routine. I’m happy to communicate with pet parents ahead of time to coordinate schedules and make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and patience while respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable leaving their fur babies in someone else’s care, so I believe in providing regular updates and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to treat every pet with the same love and consideration I would give my own while keeping their environment clean, safe, and stress-free.

About: I've had dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life, and most recently I had a senior cat and a foster dog. I have experience with all kinds of breeds, energy levels, and ages. I've also had to administer ointment and give medication to both dogs and cats. I work as a waitress most weekdays, typically lunches, but most weekends are free! I hope to cut back my work hours a bit so I can add more pet sitting/walking jobs into my schedule. I have a quiet home with no children and only one roommate. I may occasionally be a short term foster for an older cat or two, but no long term fur babies living in my house currently.

They kept them fed, cleaned their litter, and even administered ear medication. We’ll definitely look forward to working with them again for our next trip!”

About: My family has had pets since I was a child. From Molly the Jack Russell Terrier, Bob the Black Lab, Elvis the Cat to my family’s current pet Lucy the Croatian Sheepdog. I’ve also pet sat for friends and family. In general I got along with most dogs and cats and always love to meet a new furry friend. Currently I am working freelance graphic design while applying for other design jobs. At the moment my schedule is very open for your pet needs. My current apartment is unfortunately too small for pets. But I often take care of Lucy my parent’s dog and I make sure she has food and water, has used the restroom and has been on a healthy walk.

About: I grew up with Great Pyrenees, so I’m very used to stubborn, large dogs. I’m moderately comfortable with leash-reactive dogs, so feel free to reach out to discuss your situation. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, so if I get enough notice I can work around your needs! I like to spend some time at home each week, but I’m able to house-sit within reason. I like to leave places neater than I found them, so I will do home maintenance tasks within reason. I’m happy to follow requests to make sure your home stays in one piece while you’re away.

About: Welcome! My name is Jah, and I’m passionate about providing top-notch care for dogs. With years of experience as a dedicated dog lover and caretaker, I understand the unique needs and personalities of each furry friend. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra love and attention, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and compassionate. Rest assured, your dog will be in good hands, receiving the best care possible. Thank you for trusting me to care for your beloved pet. I look forward to meeting you and your dog soon! I’m currently working part time, through the week I’m available in the evenings from 6:30pm through 11:00pm and from 12:00pm through 11:30pm on the weekends. I look forward in having the opportunity meeting your furry friend. As a pet caregiver, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for pets, whether in my home or in the client’s home. Here’s how I approach caring for pets in both settings: In My Home: • Comfortable Accommodations: I ensure that pets have a designated space to relax and sleep, free from hazards and in a quiet area. • Routine & Consistency: I try to maintain the pet’s regular schedule for feeding, walking, and playtime, making the transition from their own home to mine as smooth as possible. • Exercise & Enrichment: I provide regular walks and playtime in nearby parks. • Supervision & Safety: Pets are never left unattended for long periods. I pet-proof my home to eliminate any potential dangers like toxic plants or loose wires. • Cleanliness & Hygiene: Regular cleaning is a priority to ensure a fresh, hygienic space for pets. This includes keeping their living areas clean, providing fresh water, and ensuring food bowls are sanitized. • Medical Attention: I am vigilant about any signs of illness or discomfort, and if needed, I’m prepared to take pets to the vet promptly. I also make sure to administer any necessary medications as instructed. In the Client’s Home: • Respecting the Pet’s Environment: I strive to keep the pet’s routine intact, whether it’s where they eat, sleep, or play. Familiar surroundings help minimize stress. • Customized Care: I tailor care based on the pet’s needs and preferences—whether that’s a specific feeding schedule, favorite toys, or preferred walking routes. • Security: I am cautious about keeping doors and gates secure to prevent pets from escaping. When entering or leaving the home, I always ensure that pets are safe and accounted for. • Communication with Clients: I maintain open communication, sending regular updates and photos of their pets. This helps owners feel at ease and keeps them informed of their pet’s well-being. • House Care: In addition to caring for the pet, I also ensure the home is kept tidy, respecting the client’s space and cleaning up after the pet as needed. In both settings, the well-being of the pets is my top priority. I aim to create a nurturing and loving environment that gives pets a sense of security and comfort while their owners are away.

About: I have been a passionate animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I grew up around dogs, both large and small (Yorkie, MultiPoo, Poodle, Aussie), a cat, used to ride horses, and also have experience caring for cats and birds. I’m an Aussie mom so I definitely understand the energy and attention that our fur babies need! My primary goal is for your pet to feel right at home and loved like my own while you are away. I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the week and on weekends. I can easily take your dog out every 3–4 hours for bathroom breaks and fresh air. With me, pets are treated like family and are allowed on the furniture and will get lots of playtime, love, and snuggles. I’m a super dedicated dog mom and will always extend that energy to your pet as well. I live right at the entrance of Piedmont Park so we have access to green space for daily walks and exercise.

About: Owner of all sorts of animals throughout my life. Pet sitting for the entire time I've been on this Earth, which gets lengthier every year. Haha. I've owned and cared for cats, dogs, Birds, lizards, ferrets, rats Etc etc.Need your dog to go on a run? No problem. Active Fitness instructor. Toss a ball, give baths, pettings for endless amounts of time . Reasonably priced, quality work. I have a small business that can run itself to some extent. I work from home putting other people to work for home projects, but not entirely fulfilled. Sometimes I just wanna ride down the street and stick my head out the window! 🐶 Everybody’s different. I’ve had cats whose lives would be miserable if they didn’t get outside once in a while. I’ve had dogs that need to run 5 miles a day in order to sleep well at night I understand each fur-person is different and I will oblige.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 3 years for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, giving fresh water, and making sure dogs feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I know every dog has a different personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is in good hands. I’m a full-time college student with a consistent class schedule, which allows me to plan pet care around my day. I’m available before and after classes on most weekdays, have open availability on Fridays, and can also provide care on weekends. I always make time for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and updates, so your dog receives reliable care and plenty of attention. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if applicable), and any routines your dog is used to. I’ll make sure your home is respected, your dog feels comfortable, and I’ll send regular photo and text updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

“I was absolutely blown away by Traci and the experience she provided. Before I ever even paid her, she came by early before I went out of town to meet the dogs. She was so kind, thoughtful and meticulous about caring for them. She went out of her way at every opportunity to provide my dogs with comfort and love. She cleaned up one of my poms after a poop break, she hand fed the other who was too nervous to eat her food the first night, and she sent the best pictures/videos/updates on the dogs. It really helped me while I had to be away from them. 13/10 experience and would never want to book anyone else but her.”

Vivian was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my dog while I was out of town this weekend and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She was dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring. It’s always a relief to find someone you can trust with your fur baby, and Vivian made the entire experience stress-free. I truly appreciate her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Karina takes great care of Harold, our beloved French Bulldog. Harold cozied up to her immediately, and Karina returned the favor.

Jacquelyn did drop in visits with my pug for 3 days while I was in Atlanta for a conference. She is extremely reliable and responsible and my pug, Moki, just adored her! They went on walking adventures and I got the cutest pics and updates. I wish Jacquelyn lived closer as she would be my number one choice for a pet sitter! I highly recommend!!! And Moki does too. :)

Amy did an A+ job!! Not only did she step up & help with my very last minute request, but she was extra kind, receptive, nonjudgmental, & so easy to work with. She was timely & stayed the entire 30 mins. My dog is also extraordinarily shy, & Amy still managed to comfort her & give her some head scratches.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Atlanta

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Atlanta is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 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 October 2026, there are 7,042 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Atlanta. 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.

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 Atlanta 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.

To find sitters in Atlanta with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Atlanta. On Rover:

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.

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.
