About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little and have years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly love animals. I treat every dog like family and have great references from people who trust me with their pets. I’m currently in cosmetology school and also work a part-time job Tuesday through Saturday, usually until around 5 PM. Even with my schedule, I always make time to give pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to making sure your fur baby feels safe! I have a fenced-in backyard and love going on walks with my fur babies! I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
About: Growing up we had 5 dogs and I’ve never looked back. I have watched friends and family inpets while on vacation, taken them on walks/hikes, and just dropped by to let them out or feed them during the day. I’ll treat your pet like my own while I’m with them and communicate with you plus photos (everyone likes to get a picture of their pet happy) I am currently a stay at home mom whose son is in school. We are looking to make an extra income to support vacations and activities. I currently have open availability as my husband can help with my son. I currently have 3 dogs (2 dachshunds and a boxer mix) at home with a fenced in yard. We do have crates if they need to be put up at all. I am available to come to your house as well to dog sit if needed!
About: I've always loved our furry friends: wether sheltering strays for a few days, pet sitting for neighbors, or volunteering at my local shelter I learned each animal has their own personality and temperament but all require some basic needs, like water, food, exercise, mental stimulation, and ofc love! Beyond the practical knowledge of walking, feeding, training, and playing with animals I've also had a personal fascination into the minds of animals (LOVE watching dog training videos and reading up on Donna Haraway). When I mean I love pets and want to make sure they'll have a good time, I mean it! I’ve say both cats and dogs from days to months, small to large, shy to outgoing. Your fur child will be in great hands! I work from home full time, so my availability can be pretty flexible! Open to chat more based on needs and schedules Every animal has a different schedule so like to work around what works best for your pet Building has a fenced in courtyard and a community garden on the corner. There's a couple of cats and dogs in the building but for our apartment unit, your pets would be the only ones (they'll have my undivided attention <3) There is also a dog park about 15 min walking and another green space garden 10 min walking.

About: As someone who personally has an animal with special needs I understand the kind of care they need! I also have experience working with animals of all ages. Along with working with animals of all ages I have both volunteered and worked at a local Humane Society. Working there entailed feeding, cleaning, and providing medical care to both cats and dogs. As a student who only works a part time job I am back and forth between campus and my house all week. With an older cat I frequently drop by my house throughout the day to check on him. Because of this I would be able to provide the same care to your animals as well. I live in a quiet neighborhood near several large parks. Because of this I will be able to not only walk dogs in my neighborhood but take them to surrounding parks to walk and play! Along with taking dogs out my home is equipped with cat friendly furniture,scratchers and enrichment.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since high school and bring decades of hands‑on experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for puppies/kittens, seniors, given diabetes shots, changed diapers, and handled everything from Sheepdogs to Chihuahuas. I have two small, friendly dogs, a senior cat, and a fully fenced backyard. If your pet is dog‑and cat‑friendly, I’m happy to host them short‑ or long‑term. I truly love animals of all kinds. I am happy to come over and check on your baby, take them for a walk (or stroll), throw a ball or play light flashing, or even daycare for them at my home. I work from home all but two days a week and can modify that as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am able to care for your baby as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule.

“I can’t say enough good things about Amy ! She was wonderful and took such good care of all of our animals. They did so well even our Great Pyrenees who can be a bit weary of people and doesn’t know. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again !”

“Krista was wonderful. She arrived on time. She took really good care of Roxie took her for some long walks and played with her in the yard. Roxie had such a blast. She sent me regular pics and updated me on how my pup was doing. Will definitely use her in the future and will recommend to everyone whose looking for a reliable sitter”

“Very grateful for all the extra time and attention she gave my pup. He's adjusting to a lot and I felt much better having her here to give him individual attention. And having her dog was great for mine to have another dog in the house to keep him company. Definitely recommend.”


“Tressa did a great job watching Coco while we were away for a week - we returned to a happy, healthy Coco and a tidy home. Coco got lots of walks and training, plus lots of outdoor time to relax. We loved getting the check ins to see how Coco was doing”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ( We’d give 5,000 if we could!) This was our first time using Rover, and we were nervous because our 2-year-old mini schnauzer, Sophie, is truly part of our family. But Suzy was amazing. She stayed in our home, played with Sophie, snuggled her, and took her on walks in the snow and rain. It rained so much that she even bought Sophie a little rain hat and jacket! She also sent us tons of photos and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Suzy truly went above and beyond. We’d book her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her enough….Suzy is an absolute gem.”

“My wife and I had the opportunity to take a 3 1/2 week trip out of the country. We weren’t sure what to do with our fur babies because it was too long to put either of them in a kennel. We looked at Rover‘s website and found Jenna who agreed to watch our fur babies in our home for the duration of our trip. Our beagle is a rescue who has a number of special needs due to abuse as a puppy. Jenna did a wonderful job of watching both our beagle and our kitty cat for the time we were gone. It’s obvious Jenna loves animals and we will certainly book her again if we ever need to leave town for an extended period. We highly recommend Jenna as that only a pet sitter, but a house sitter as well.”

About: Hi my name is Passion! Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s apart of who I am. I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to the occasional rat or fish tank adventure. Growing up in a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) friends taught me compassion, responsibility, and how to read animals’ unique personalities and needs. I’ve volunteered at the Atlanta Humane Society for over 6 months, where I gained hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments in addition to Lifeline Animal Shelter. I also previously worked at PetSmart helping pet parents find everything from the right nutrition to the perfect toy. To top it all off, my mom owns a dog grooming business as well!—so professional pet care has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. We also previously owned and operated a dog-treat business where we were successful in getting shelving writhing boutique pet care retailers. Whether it’s a long walk (I think I may love getting my steps in even more than our friends with four legs haha), a cuddle session, or reliable overnight care, your pets will be in safe, loving, and experienced hands with me. I treat every pet like family—and I mean that furrrreal! Bonus: My partner is a Veterinary Technician! I work a hybrid work schedule so I am grateful for the privilege of flexibility and tailoring my schedule around any personal needs or additional assistance that I provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home in a calm, quiet environmentally, I’m able to provide constant supervision and personalized care throughout the day. I carefully monitor each pet’s behavior, ensure they have a secure and stress-free space, and tailor their routine to their unique needs. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medication, or keeping walks controlled and safe, I make sure every detail is handled with attention and love.
“Madeleine was great! She took care of our 2 dogs for 4 days and nights while we were at Lake Burton for a fishing tournament. She did an awesome job, and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Madeleine and I hope to hire her again in the future.”

“I wish we could rate George higher! He took wonderful care of our rambunctious young dog and cat for the last week. They were clearly loved when we were gone and it seemed like they didn’t even notice our absence, so cheers to George. The man clearly has a way with animals!”


About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me—it’s truly been my life for as long as I can remember. I have 4 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also bred French Bulldogs for 8 years, so I have extensive experience with puppies, including feeding, socialization, routines, and early training. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I can also help reinforce basic training and good manners while your pup is in my care. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience, professional veterinary knowledge, and a genuine love for dogs, I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily schedule because I already spend most of my time at home caring for my own dogs and working part-time from my computer. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, medication, exercise, and rest routines while giving each pet the individualized care they need. 🐾 Safety, Trust & a Home Away From Home Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a secure, fenced in yard with separate fenced areas, which allows me to safely give dogs their own space when needed. I also have **my own crates available** if your pup is comfortable with crating, and I can easily separate visiting dogs from my own dogs whenever necessary. My dogs are very friendly and used to having other dogs around, but I always prioritize safety and supervision. I’m especially careful about **size and temperament differences. I keep larger dogs separated from smaller dogs when appropriate, so everyone can enjoy their stay safely and comfortably. With secure outdoor areas, multiple ways to separate dogs, and plenty of hands on supervision, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own while they’re here. ❤️🐶

About: I have taken care of my own personal dogs throughout their lifespan from puppies to mature dogs. I am held at a high regard in my neighborhood as a dog sitter who is able to maintain a schedule, give sufficient playtime, and follow personal instructions accordingly. During the summer I am always available at home where I am able to give maximum attention to the pets. During college school season I am home on the weekends, Tuesdays, and Thursdays all day. Monday, Wednesday, Friday I can see the pups after 12pm! I have a fenced in back yard of about half an acre that does have a pool. If your baby loves to swim they are more than welcome to. If water is an issue I can easily walk them on a leash. I have 2 golden doodles that are extremely friendly and crate trained. I have dog beds your fur baby can sleep on! My neighborhood is very small and safe so I can take them on plenty of walks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Auraria
Haylee helped us over the weekend sitting our 10-year-old Akita, Cece, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was always prompt, on time, and very responsive throughout the entire stay. Cece bonded with her so well, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear Haylee genuinely cares for animals and treats them like her own. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Jacob did SUCH a great job with our three dogs. He handled our wild border collie mix, old/grumpy chihuahua, and our 4 month old chorkie like an absolute pro. I couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!! He also kept our house so nice and clean, you can tell he respects both your home and your pets.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Auraria walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Auraria maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Auraria 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!

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.
