“Devin was a fantastic cat sitter for us. We have a very timid semi-feral kitty and she was very kind and patient with her. She interacted and talked to her and everything went very well. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and a cat in a loving home and absolutely love animals! I've also dog sat for close family and friends throughout my life. My soul kitty just passed away recently and I'm looking to fill my time with love, care, and cuddles from our furry family members we love so much. I know what it's like to care for, show love and interest, play and meet their needs where they're at. I may be new to pet sitting with Rover, but I am not new to caring for and loving animals. I've used Rover for pet sitters to care for my cat when she was with me, and am familiar with this platform and the needs/concerns of being a pet parent. I promise to care for your pets just as I did for my kitty. I work in the office Monday-Wednesdays, but work from home Thursdays-Fridays. I have more daytime flexibility for drop ins on Thur/Fri. Otherwise happy to do drops ins outside of working hours in the beginning of the week. While I live in a condo, there is plenty of space to take dogs out for a walk, potty, etc. I live in a quiet complex and have a nice little nature path between our buildings. I can also easily to take them to dog parks that are close by (on leash of course, I wouldn't take them off leash as they are not my own-for everyone's safety). If staying at your home-I am respectful and will follow all instructions to the t.
About: I have had dogs, cats, birds, hamsters and snakes in my 33 years, I love animals and enjoy learning and caring for them. I have experience with medication administration, including diabetic cats, elderly and recovering from surgery. I work for myself, fully virtually from my home, and I often have time in the afternoons and evenings to fill when I am not busy. I have 3 cats and a dog currently in my own home. When I have extra time we usually get a foster pet though it's crowded here now, so I am available to help my neighbors with their pets. I have a reliable vehicle, organized schedule and follow directions well.
“Georgia is fantastic! She’s always on time and very communicative. She always makes sure to send us photos of our fur babies to let us know that they are fine which is a huge weight off our shoulders.”
About: I first started dog sitting back in 2019, where I looked after a Golden and her mutt sister for two weeks over the summer. I had always been fond of dogs, but that experience showed me what it means to be fully responsible for the wellbeing of a pet (or two!) I like to think that over the past six years I have grown as a caretaker and I plan on continuing to do so! As a restaurant server, there are 2-3 days per week that I do not work. On those days I have off, I am more than happy to dedicate however much time to your pups as needed. I will do my best to not change anything about your pet’s environment but rather adapt to said space and help them feel as comfortable and in their element as I can.
“Riley was amazing! She took great care of my two boys, followed every instruction, and sent me pictures of them in the process! I couldn’t be more happy with the job she did. I will definitely use her services in the future!”
About: As a senior pup owner myself (historically), I know how important patience, gentle care, and routine are for older pets. Whether it’s preparing special diets, giving medications, or just offering extra comfort and love, I treat every pet like family. I welcome pets of all ages—puppies, seniors, and everyone in between—because every pet deserves compassionate, personalized care. Along with pet care, I also work a full time remote job. This flexibility allows me to be there when your pet needs me most—whether it’s a midday potty break, a last-minute walk, or extended care. Within my home, your pet’s comfort comes first. They can be crated or uncrated based on what makes them feel safe and happy. I do ask that you bring their prefered crate, toys, food and dishes
“Morgan was a wonderful sitter. Always communicated with status updates and a summary of her visit with our pets. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that’s looking for a sitter and will be requesting her services again when in need.”
“Wow! Mary took absolutely amazing care of our cats. Her reports were detailed, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to read, which made such a difference while we were away. I felt completely at ease knowing she was watching over the boys—they were clearly loved and well cared for. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Our dog loved having Chelsea take care of her! Chelsea threw the ball for her and gave her lots of attention. She is very reliable and we appreciated her help.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs on and off for more than 10 years, helping family, friends, and neighbors whenever they need a reliable extra hand. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of space for walks, as well as a large fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for playtime and exercise. I’m also close to several scenic walking trails and dog parks, giving your pup plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun and enrichment. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I regularly spend time with my brother and sister-in-law’s dogs when they visit. This has given me experience with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I also have a designated space available for a crate if your dog uses one, helping them feel secure and at home during their stay. Please note that I work in the office Monday through Wednesday and am not home during standard business hours. If your dog requires constant supervision or cannot comfortably be left alone during those workdays, I may not be the best fit. However, for independent dogs who are comfortable with a hybrid work schedule, I’m happy to provide a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention before and after work. While I am not home Mon - Wed, I make sure every dog in my care receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection before and after work. My day starts with a morning potty break followed by breakfast (for pups who eat twice a day). Before leaving for work, I ensure your dog is comfortable and settled in for the day. Once I’m home, the focus is entirely on them. Evenings include another potty break, dinner, playtime, and a walk around the neighborhood. I believe regular exercise and outdoor time are essential for a dog’s well-being, so I make it a priority to provide opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. On weekends, WFH days and days off, I can offer additional walks, backyard playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable environment where your dog feels at home while you’re away. I care for pets in my home by making sure all potential hazards are put away, since I know how curious fur babies can be. When I’m home, I keep a close eye on them while also giving them the freedom to explore and relax as they need.
“Lyric is 10/10 recommend for sitting your puppies. They fell in love with her in a day and I was sad to see the visits in because they will be looking for her. I will book her in the future 10000000%. Thank you Lyric for taking care of my precious pups.”
About: I have been a dog owner my entire life! Love all shapes and sizes! You can feel comfortable with me as I am a retired elementary school teacher and adore dogs. I treat my two yorkies as my children and will treat your dog with love, empathy and patience. Very reliable and walking is my favorite activity! Overnight stays can be arranged if needed. I have had an old English sheepdog, German short haired pointer, collie, Rottweiler, an Irish Setter, and I currently own two Yorkshire Terriers Lilly and Brutus. My dogs are completely spoiled and sleep in my bed with me. If you work during the day I will make sure you are comfortable and will send pictures if you would like me to. I am a retired elementary teacher that lives in downtown Decatur. I walk between 3-5 miles per day so I’d gladly take your baby along with me. I only care for other dogs in my home as overnight guests. I am not able to stay at your home because I have a 12 pound Yorkie of my own.
“Bryan has been such an amazing pet sitter for our cat Amy! New to town, it’s been hard finding pet care, but Bryan showed the utmost care and interest in learning as much as possible to best care for Amy on his drop-ins. He is communicative and you can tell shares a real passion and love for animals making us feel at ease. Our Amy is shy, and after his second visit was ready to get to know Bryan.”
“Lindsey was amazing with my dog! She always made sure my girl was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. She went above and beyond every single visit and kept me updated with messages and photos so I always knew how she was doing. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and also have regular experience with birds and some with lizards. I love walking even running with dogs and hanging out with the kitties. I’m very orderly open and loving. I’ve been assisting my family and friends in pet care all my life. I’m currently self employed as a personal trainer training folks in their homes. I have an unusual schedule and am used to being a part of my clients households so I’ll be comfortable meeting and caring for your furry pals and will have time through the day and night to pop in for walks, potty breaks etc. I’ll treat them like they’re my own pal!! Play, hang, and live the good life! It’s my pleasure to get to spend time with these awesome creatures.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale Estates
Dan was fantastic watching our 1 year old English lab Azalea. We scheduled him for a series of drop in visits, he was right on time for each one, communicated frequently, shared pictures, and took great care of our girl. We will be booking him again in the future!
Aiiaha was great and Cali loved her, which I’ve had a hard time in the past finding people that Cali would like. Cali is a dog that goes on vibes and doesn’t get along with a lot of people. Aiiaha was right on time and very professional and was great with both of my dogs! So glad to have found her to help!!
We had a great experience! Our boy has some anxiety and can take a little while to warm up to new people, so we appreciated how patient and understanding she was. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand and took the time to let him get comfortable at his own pace. She was great with him during their first hangout, and we feel comfortable having her for future drop in visits!
Kamron was awesome with our dog and friends dog that was staying over. We asked for a last minute drop in and Kamron came through! He left great feedback. It was such a relief having someone we could trust to check on them. He was super quick to respond. He also paid attention to detail and took great care in what we needed. We will use him again for sure! Above and beyond, excellent experience.
Lindsey was awesome and did a fantastic job caring for my dog, Angel. The pictures and videos took the story. Angel was so happy and surprised me, on how Lindsey could bring the best version of Angel. It has taught me where I need to work on to better our relationship. I was impressed with Lindsey’s professionalism and all the extra things done (bushed Angel’s undercoat) I highly recommend Lindsey dog care services. I was was truly delighted and would rebook without hesitation! Thank you Rover!!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Avondale Estates is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 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 November 2026, there are 7,090 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Avondale Estates. 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 Avondale Estates 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 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.
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.

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 cancellation policy, 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.
