About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. I grew up with multiple cats and currently have one of my own, so I understand how important it is to keep your pets comfortable and maintain their normal routine. I also have several years of experience caring for dogs for family friends, including households with anywhere from 2-7 dogs! I regularly provided pet care during vacations with stays up to a week. During those visits, I handled feeding, administering medication, providing fresh water, walks, and playtime to make sure the dogs were well cared for. I'm very active and love being outdoors, so I am happy to provide anything from leisurely neighborhood walk to longer walks or runs for high-energy dogs who need extra exercise. My goal is always to provide personalized, dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you're away! I can provide dog walks or drop-in visits for cats or dogs from early morning to evening everyday. Great for people who work a 9-5 Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home safety is my top priority followed by their comfort and following routine. I understand pets can become stressed with a change in their routine so I stick to instructions and make sure they feel secure. I monitor for any changes in behavior and treat them as if they were my own pet.
“John was amazing! Took lots of photos and was available at the last minute to help me. He also had no hesitation to help me with little add-ons like restarting a YouTube video and giving treats! Thank you, John! Will be using again!”
About: Hi! I've never met a dog that didn't like me. I'm a lifelong dog dad and Atlanta native. I've worked with large and small breeds as well as young and elderly dogs that need extra care. No dog is too unruly. I'm kind, calm, and attentive. While you're on a beach somewhere in the Carribean, your dog/dogs will be having their own fun back at home. We're talking walks, snacks, playtime, photoshoots, and more. They will still miss you, but less probably. I work remotely from home and my schedule is flexible enough that I'm able to schedule plenty of visits and walks with your fur baby/s. I have a fenced in 1/4 acre yard, a lot of tennis balls, and my own fur baby, Cali. Depending on your dog's personality they will be really excited or really annoyed by Cali's happy, but overly enthusiastic energy.
“Mackenzie was great! Very puntual and kept me updated with pictures as well which is always a plus! My little river will definitely be seeing Mackenzie again in the future!”
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 8 years old and have always had a deep love for animals. My senior dog has been with me for 13 years, and I also have a cat who has been part of my family for the past year and a half. They get along wonderfully, and my cat is actually more comfortable around dogs than other cats. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, and I always provide patient, loving, and dependable care. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I'll treat your pets like they're my own. I currently work part-time Monday through Friday from 5PM to 11PM, but I have flexibility during the day to provide walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and quality care. Weekends are when I have the most availability and can dedicate even more time and attention to your pets. I also offer boarding in my home, overnight stays in your home, and I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. I have reliable transportation, so getting to and from your home is never a problem. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. My home is calm and pet-friendly, and my dog and cat are both friendly and well-socialized. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, maintain your pet's normal routine, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, they'll be treated with kindness, patience, and respect.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced dog walker and dedicated animal lover with a background volunteering at the Atlanta Humane Society. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and know how to keep your pet happy, safe, and well-exercised. I have a full time job that is 8:30am- 5pm , but I am free after work and on the weekends to care for your pet! I will make sure your pet is well cared for with plenty of walks, food, and water! At the animal shelter, I was trained on caring for animals.
About: Double the dog love! We are one life long dog owner and one life long dog lover happy to provide care for pooches of all shapes and sizes. We've dog sat for puppies who had never been left home alone before all the way to a fourteen-year-old terrier, partially deaf and blind in one eye. We're adept at tailoring care to each dog's specific needs, energy level and instruction. We are generally available with preferred evenings and weekends for the initial meet and greets. Check our calendar for exact availability. We generally prefer to host a dog for a minimum two nights. We both work from home so we are home M-F; 9-5. Frequently home and checking on Fido on weekends and of course waking up and going to sleep with them in the home. Walks throughout the day as well as play and naps. We make sure to pay attention to habits and preferences of Fido - feeding times, walking times, toy preferences as well as sleep times and if dogs are allowed on furniture.
About: Hello! I have taken care of pets since my high school days. I enjoy taking care of pets because it is a calming experience. Not only will I take care of your pet, I will dote on them because I believe these innocent animals deserve to be taken care of. I spend my free time playing outdoors and going on walks. I love to interact with animals. If you have a high energy pet it will fit perfectly with my active lifestyle. I care for pets by understanding their body language to be mindful of their needs. I plan on being a companion to your pet. I find joy in nurturing animals.
“Max was great with showing up as expected and leaving me detailed feedback on her drop-ins with my dogs. She’s the best I’ve used in that regard. She was very professional, timely, responsive to communications, and she did not flake on me like some others have. I would highly recommend and will use Maximilian again.”
“Oladapo was the best! This was my first time using Rover and he made it an exceptionally smooth experience. My boy Shabba was well taken care of! I’ll definitely use his services again.”
“Caroline was great with my one year old cat! She noticed right away Ivy can be very shy and nervous to meet new people, yet she was incredibly patient with her and eventually made sure to make her still feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend”
“Hayley was able to accommodate our very last minute booking, and she even managed to squeeze in a meet and greet with the pups beforehand. Our shy girl warmed up Hayley right away, and our high-energy girl definitely found someone to match her energy. Even though it was a short trip, Hayley took lots of photos and wrote up detailed reports. Hayley took great care of our pets while we were away and we would definitely book with her again!”
“It’s always such a pleasure booking Maria to come and house sit for my cat. She is so loving and thoughtful. She is very responsive and trustworthy. I recommend her as a dependable sitter for your kitties while you’re away!”
“Brittany is the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! My cat is hard to please and he LOVED her. She provides PLENTY of pictures which is exactly what a fur momma wants when away. I could not recommend Brittany more!!!”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Atlanta is $20

Max has been extremely reliable for years now for Mela and I. Simply couldn’t ask for a better sitter to check in with her while I’m out, and she loves the rubs and play given. One of my favorite things about the experience has been the photos with updates I get, especially the Polaroids left as a surprise. Keep him in mind when booking, just leave time for us!
Mike was great for our pup Hazel. He was prompt, detail oriented and went above and beyond in caring for our dog. He even volunteered to pick up some food for her when she ran out after one of his drop-ins! Would highly recommend Mike and look forward to booking him in the future.
Lauren is terrific. In our first meeting she asked all the right questions about the dogs and their behaviors, and made me feel very comfortable about hiring her. She put extra effort into getting my older dog to like her, which I appreciated. I added a third dog and she's done a great job handling them all, and working with the new pup on basic commands. She's also a very good communicator so I know exactly what's going on every time she's with them. She's a real find!
Robert is the best dog sitter! Salsa is absolutely smitten with him and cannot wait for her daily visits. He provides so many photos after each visit as well as updates about Salsa’s day. He is always on time and is so easy to coordinate last minute drop in’s. Salsa and I are so happy we found such a kind and trustworthy dog sitter! I would recommend Robert to anyone and everyone!
Cabby did a fantastic job with our dog, Ellie. She watched her over 4th of July weekend which is a tough weekend for Ellie due to fireworks. Cabby was incredibly patient with Ellie and sent frequent updates so we knew she was doing OK. Highly recommend Cabby for your dog watching needs!
Riley has been so great. My dog is usually a little nervous around new people. Because of that, I booked a couple of drop-in visits while I was home before a trip so that my dog could get more familiar with Riley before a house sitting stay. Turns out, that might not have been needed since my dog immediately seemed at ease around her! Still glad we did them though because it's so much easier to relax and enjoy a vacation when you're not constantly worried about your pup back home 😄

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Atlanta stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
