“Christina was absolutely fantastic! Will book with her again if I can! When approached with our problem (out of town for the holidays, 4 cats and an empty home) she was quick to come to an affordable solution. She helped us with feeding, cleaning, helping with watering some stressed plants, above and beyond! Thank you!”
“couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Chrishtian! He took amazing care of my dog son, Kobalt, while I was away on vacation. He was incredibly attentive, followed every instruction perfectly, and made sure Kobalt felt loved and comfortable the entire time. It was clear that Kobalt truly enjoyed his care and affection which gave me so much peace of mind while traveling. I’m extremely grateful for his dedication and will definitely be booking with him again! Highly recommend!”
“Bryce was great, he sent pictures and videos of my dog Rex while I was away. He was so great with Rex, did more than I could have even asked!! Will definitely work with Bryce again in the future!”
“Chackryia did such a wonderful job caring for my cats! She was communicative about any concerns she had and it made me feel safe entrusting the care of my cats with her. Her photos and videos showed just how much attention she put into making sure that my cats felt comfortable around her. She showed up on time and did exactly what I had asked!”
About: My Personal Approach & Passion for Pets My genuine love for animals is what drives my pet care style. I am patient, trustworthy, and naturally observant, making it easy for me to connect with pets of all temperaments. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a task; it is about providing a warm, low-stress environment where your animals feel entirely safe, happy, and treated like family while you are away. What Sets Me Apart:I offer a highly adaptive environment for all pets and life stages, including dogs, cats, and puppies. I easily handle the high energy and training support needed for playful youngsters, as well as the gentle comfort, slow pace, and strict medication schedules required for senior companion animals. I customize my daily routine to mirror yours, ensuring your pet enjoys a seamless transition with plenty of interactive play, cozy naps, and affection. Pet care is the main focus of my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, and interactive playtime throughout the day. My weekly schedule is highly consistent, meaning your dogs, cats, or puppies will enjoy a reliable routine with plenty of companionship and zero long periods spent alone. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment where your dogs, cats, or puppies are treated like family. They have full access to comfortable resting spots, fresh water, and supervised play. I follow your exact feeding schedules, crate routines, and potty windows to keep their days consistent and stress-free. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.
About: I have a big place in my heart for four legged friends of many kinds. I grew up with a dog, have a place in my heart for cats, and had pet rats later in life. I am open to not only sit and drop in for dogs and cats; I would care for small pets as well! Any animal I have the privilege to come across I treat with respect and care. It fills my heart when I am able to care for them. 💜 I currently have a very flexible schedule. I work a few part time gigs. I am big on communication so we can discuss times when you contact me. I respect others spaces as though they are my own. I do the same for pets, respecting and caring for them as though they were my own babies. I make sure to leave a place just as clean as when I enter it.
About: Since I was a teenager I have been taking care of dogs from friends and family. I will take care of your dog like if it was mine 🥰. I enjoy taking dogs for a walk. I'm currently working from home and I have breaks through the day where I can play or take your dog for a walk. I live close to nice parks. I don't have any pets at home so your dog will be my special guest 😊 I make sure they have plenty food and water and check on him/her if they need to go outside to handle some business 😉
About: I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals, except reptiles! With caring for my very own senior dog to breeding pups with my French bulldog I have done and seen it all! I love animals and being a Vet was one of my top career choices so I’m happy Rover gives me the opportunity to explore my passion! Fun fact about me: I taught my German Schnauzer German commands! I’m really patient with training pups to potty, sit, lay, paw, high-five, etc. So you never know what they’ll learn while in my care! I’m currently unemployed so I’m very flexible for boarding/pet sitting/walks throughout the week. I work with clients to discuss schedules and items that makes both you and your pet most comfortable I have a fenced yard and two fur babies for your pet to play with. I can also crate your pet as needed however it’s not required
“Leylah was able to come visit our pups on short notice and communicated her availability in a timely fashion. We appreciate her and will continue to book with her.”
About: As a proud dog mom to two amazing pups a playful 1-year-old German Shepherd and a sweet 3-year-old Poodle I truly understand the energy, patience, and love dogs need at every stage. Caring for my own dogs has taught me how to handle big personalities, different temperaments, and unique routines with ease. I treat every dog like my own, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet snuggles, I tailor each day to your pet’s personality. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, capable hands not just being watched, but genuinely cared for. Pet care fits perfectly into my stay-at-home routine, which offers me plenty of time and flexibility. I’m home often, take daily walks, and love spending my breaks giving pets extra attention. I’m a stay-at-home mom with experience caring for my two dogs a one year old German Shepherd and a three year old Poodle. I provide pets with love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. Walks, playtime, and enrichment activities are part of their daily routine, and I always ensure they are fed, groomed, and happy. I treat every pet like part of my family and enjoy making their time with me fun and stress free.
“Stephanie is amazing with our fur baby! Our puppy loves when she stops by for their lunch dates. I’m so happy that we found someone that we can trust to take good care of her when we are away.”
“Tristan was amazing 🤩 He was very communicative and kind. The dogs warmed up to him quickly! It was comforting to know that he cared for our fur babies just as we do. We appreciated the sweet photos of them and the wonderful updates. Tristan is AWESOME!!!!!”
About: I have been pet sitting since 2017. Along with that I have plenty of experience working with animals considering I have been volunteering at animal shelters and veterinary clinics since 2016. I previously worked at Banfield Pet Hospital where I have bolstered my skills and experience with mostly dogs, cats, and some smaller animals such as hamsters. I am confident in my knowledge of dog and cat behavior; I have the ability to restrain, administer medications, basic obedience training, animal safety, and attentiveness to your pets unique personality and overall health . I am a full time undergrad student, and I take all of my courses solely online. Meaning I am super flexible when it comes to scheduling. While caring for a furbaby at the client’s home, I am EXTREMELY huge on checklists and to do lists. This keeps me on track all day, ensuring that your pet is on a schedule so that I can create a routine that sort of helps me predict your pet’s behavior. I am very attentive, making sure that the pet is in my sight at all times, especially younger pets. Also, I do posses a certificate in animal first aid.

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 Austell 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. 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 .
