About: I've forever had a love for dogs. Shadowed in a vet office for two years and have seen animals been given oral meds and other treatments. Have owned several dogs. Currently have 1 dog named Chester. Also have worked with pregnant dogs (my mom has bred several litters). Comfortable with any breed or size. Passionate about every animal not just dogs. I love to go on walks and I'm an excellent trick trainer I might add. I work full time, but I work from home so I am flexible to work with a schedule for feedings and walks. I also can have portable monitor so I can work from other locations besides my home. If I plan to watch you dog overnight, I prefer to do it in the client’s home. Generally, it makes it more comfortable for the dog. Adjustments can be hard and they are already getting used to an unfamiliar face taking care of them. Please do not hesitate to reach if you have fee adjustment requests or questions!
“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 have had pets all of the my life including tropical fish, aquatic turtles, Guinea pigs, hamsters, dogs and cats. I also love to care for house plants and outdoor plants. I am starting a new job September 8 so my schedule is pretty open. After September 8, I will be available in the mornings and evenings and available on the weekends. My 2 cats are not a fan of other cats or dogs so I cannot have pets in my home but I am happy to hang out with your pets and go long walks if needed.
“Chimere took great care of my pets while I was out of town. I felt very confident leaving the cats in her care due to her experience with animals and her kind personality. I’ll definitely book again! Thank you, Chimere.”
About: I have been taking care of my neighbors’ pets and volunteered at a local animal shelter since I was in middle school, but have since moved to GA. I have had my border collie, Cashew, since he was only a puppy and my cat, Hazel, since she was 4 months old. I would love to help others care for their furry friends as well! I am VERY much used to longer walks or physical activity to play with high energy dogs, but I’m also happy to swing by for just a short walk and a potty break if that’s all they need. I hope to just be an extension of the love and care you give to your fur babies! I will always try my best to give you same day availability if it’s needed. I am currently working per diem, which allows me to have a good deal of flexibility. I will do my best to stay consistent with your regular daily routine for your pets to avoid any major stress for you or them. I am more than comfortable crate training if that’s something you are working on. I’ve also put on more harnesses and different collars than I can count. My partner and I have trained our dog on our own and raised our cat from when she was a kitten, so we’ve seen all the stages!
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.
About: I am a wildlife biologist for the Georgia DNR working for the Urban Wildlife Program. I have years of experience dog-sitting, primarily for large- and medium-sized dogs in the Chicago area. My work schedule is very flexible, allowing me to take my time to care for your critters! A large part of my job is responding to wildlife emergencies using years of experience and best-judgment decision making, which makes for a great pet-sitter. I am a wildlife biologist that works from home in Decatur. My workload is quite low so it is easy to fit pet care into my schedule throughout the week. My flexible schedule affords me ample time to provide proper attention to animals. I have a calm demeanor with strong attention to detail when it comes to care instruction. My experience as a wildlife biologist has trained me how to monitor animals for emergencies and how to be calm in the face of the unknown or unexpected. I am used to following strict research protocol, so following along for the care of your animal will be a breeze.
“Viva is so attentive and dedicated to our dog when she comes to walk her! We always get the best photos and reports back from Viva after her visits. She asks about our training goals to keep things consistent for our dog! Highly recommend!”
About: I've had pets my entire life and have been through every stage, from bottle babies to seniors, and I've never met an animal I didn't love. I have volunteered in shelters throughout the years, so I have plenty of experience cleaning up after animals and dispensing medication, when necessary. I work in academia, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can check in on pets and go for walks in the middle of the day. I work in academia, so aside from the odd meeting, I have a flexible schedule. I also have the freedom to work from home when needed, so I can be home when we have visitors. I have four cats, so I can only host cats in the house. We have rooms with closed doors where my cats aren't allowed, so any visitors can have their own space if needed. At a client's house, I'll gladly stop by for an informal visit to meet your pet, learn their routine, and collect keys.
“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: I’ve owned dogs almost my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Animals are my passion and in addition to pet sitting, I foster for LifeLine Animal project. I’ve fostered over 25 dogs in my time as a volunteer. Through volunteering, I’ve also taken a Behavior Treatment class for shy/fearful and leash-reactive dogs, so if your pup has some behavioral special needs, I’m more than happy to take the time to make them and you as comfortable as possible. I so look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I work from home 4 days a week and 1 day a week in the office on Wednesday, with some flexibility. I am available to pet sit in your home or for drop-in visits. My schedule can be modified to accommodate the needs of you and your pets! I treat your pet with the same love and attention as I’d treat my own. Animals are family, and I appreciate the trust you’ve given me to provide the best care for your pet.
About: I love animals! I signed up to host your fur baby because I miss loving on fur babies! After having fur babies and fosters for over 15 years, I am on a hiatus from adopting a new dog for the next year. So, I want to host your fur baby to get get our dog and cat snuggles in. I am a PhD scientist —so I’m out of the house during the work day. I live in a two-story townhouse on a cul de sac in City of Decatur. We have a gate from my neighborhood to the dog park if your snuggle bunny likes the park. At my house pets are allowed everywhere. On the furniture, in the kitchen, and especially on our laps! Of course, we will always first follow any rules you have about preferences for your bébé. We don’t have any pets so your bébé would be the center of attention! My kiddos are big now so there are no young children in the house. I look forward to having your furry friend to love on! As I would want for my human children, I am happy to accommodate any requests your fur-child needs. Extra long walks, dog park time, medicine administration, crate or no crate; when your fur-baby Is in my home I will follow any routine you have to make things as consistent as possible. I will also update you with photos if you like! I’m also happy to offer a free bath while your doggo is here with professional, sensitive skin products. I am very, very fortunate to live in a walkable neighborhood and would love company on my walks! I’m always shoot to have a fur baby as the reason to adjust any of my schedule. I care for any baby - human or fur in my house - I treat them exactly as I would want my babies to be cared for!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and getting to hang out with a pup is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. I’m also an avid hiker, so if your dogs ever need some outdoor time, I’ll be sure they get it. I work from home, so I am available to stay with your dog all day. I can take them outside for potty breaks, walks, or any other needs 24/7. I have a fenced in yard, and walking trails right next to my house. I also am available to stay over at your home and be with your dog 24/7. 100% of my clients, will receive photos of their baby!
About: I was born to my family who already owned 2 dogs and then I have always had a dog ever since until I went to university. Since I don’t currently have my own, I love to spend time caring for dogs whenever I can! I am very experienced with giving medicine of all types (topical, oral, in food), adhering to specific schedules and food preparations, as well as basic hygiene like bathing or brushing. I grew up around bigger dogs and smaller dogs and as a sitter have had the most experience with medium to small dogs. I am currently working two part-time jobs in the mornings typically. Generally, my evenings after 6 pm I keep free for pet-sitting and I generally try to keep my Sundays and Mondays free aside from an appointment or two virtually. My experience with pet-sitting in NYC has been through house-sitting or by checking in on the pets at least twice a day (morning and night). The majority of my care happens at the client’s residence and I like to gather all the information for the pet’s schedule and routine from the family before I care for them. I believe in clear communication and giving regular updates to the family to ensure that the care their pet is receiving is the very best it can be and in-line with what they are used to in their daily lives.
About: I may be new to Rover, but I’ve been a lifelong dog lover! My boyfriend, Shaun, is also my business partner. We live together, and he is just as great with dogs. Having both of us means your pup gets extra attention, care, and love. I grew up with our family dog, Ruby, a sweet 25 lb terrier who lived to be 16 years old. She truly had the best life, and I was so lucky to have her by my side growing up. In college, my roommates and I adopted a 7 year old, 55 lb Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix named Peaches. She quickly became our best friend, especially during COVID. After graduation, I took full custody of her. While it was a difficult decision, I eventually had to rehome her when I accepted my dream job, which required frequent travel. The good news is that she’s now living her best life on a flower farm in Alabama with a family friend, spending her days running through fields and playing with her 26 farm cat siblings. Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to travel the world and pursue graduate school. I just graduated with a MPH and am excited to open up my availability for bookings as I save for a celebration trip next year! In addition to Rover, I’ve also been active on Wag with 100+ walks, drop ins, and boardings over the past four years. I truly love dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Let’s connect soon :) I currently work as a part time nanny from 2-6pm Mon-Fri and I’m free most weekends when I’m home. I understand that your pups are in a new place so being with them when they’re in my care is my top priority. Shaun works from home so your pup will always have a companion when staying at our home! My neighborhood has an awesome fenced dog park that is maintained daily. The dog community here is also very friendly and understanding if dogs need their personal time in the park. There is also a nature preserve right across the street from me that is super safe and monitored so your pups will be getting their maximum required exercise when they stay with me!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale Estates
Danielle took exceptional care of Theo!! He is often slow to warm up to new sitters, but by the second visit it was clear that he really liked her. She provided insightful messages on Theo each day and I had peace of mind knowing she was checking in on him. I would absolutely book her again and you should too!
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!!
We were pleasantly surprised to see our Barley so relaxed and himself when we arrived back home after the visit. We knew Jennifer and he would be great together since Jennifer has such a peaceful and attentive nature. We received wonderful photos of him looking happy and calm. Love them! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of Barley and allowing us to get out of the house for a bit without the worry. We appreciate your time and looking forward to the next visit very soon!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Avondale Estates is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 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.

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 .
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.
