“Ashley was great! Kept me informed and sent plenty of pictures. I didn’t worry if Remi was okay once. I could tell from the pictures she was having a great time. I will rebook time and time again!”
“It was a great experience letting Eve take care of my dog. I have no complains whatsoever. My dogs tends to bark at strangers but at her first site, she became friendly with Eve. I also love her bold approach to let my dog play with her other furry guests! My dog came out very happy at the end of her three day stay.”
“I was so nervous leaving my dog with a sitter for the first time. After messaging with Vanessa, my fears were put at ease! After meeting her, I felt 100% confident my little dog, Cricket, was with a loving, caring, and knowledgable caretaker. By the time I got home from our initial drop-off, Vanessa had already messaged me photos of Cricket enjoying a walk and loving their time together. During Cricket's stay, I received daily updates, pics, and even videos. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my beloved pet was in such wonderful hands. I look forward to booking stays with Vanessa again! She is truly amazing!!!”
“My dog Angel has visited Cynthia about it 4-5 times now. She came back happy , and full of light. Cynthia is very commutative and makes sure I’m well updated with cute pictures. I would highly recommend her 🙌🏼.”
About: I’ve grown up with pets, dogs, cats, rabbits. So taking care of pets comes naturally to me. So there is no need to worry if you will be away, your animals will always be pampered and loved in my care! I have a pretty flexible schedule, I work mornings though it can always be adjusted when needed. Taking care of pets comes naturally to me so it’s never a hassle or burden! I owned 2 dogs back from where I lived (they stay with my parents now). It’s hard to be away from my dogs because we had such a strong bond. I take care of my animals very well, they had a good routine and slept in the bed with us, I know right so spoiled. Whenever my husband leaves the room early in the morning, I was never alone because when I turn over there is my dog laying down, looking back at me saying good morning. I know the big responsibilities pets can bring, and id like to help you out with that load. I’m also trying to bring that joy pets bring back into my daily routine.
About: i have had pets growing up so i know how to care for them. i dont have much training but i do know people who have worked with the humane society who can help out with any questions i have. i will that friends rely on me to watch their pets while theyre away! i work full time monday to friday typically from 7am-3 or 4pm and am off weekends and holidays. i can do weekday afternoons or weekends as needed. your pet is more than welcome to stay with me if you need to be away during the weekday. i can spend however long you need with your pet, whether its 5 minutes or a few hours. i work 25 minutes away from my place so mornings arent the best time but lunch time and after work are perfect. i have a fenced in yard and a dog to keep yours company! i also have a crate if your dog needs one and lots of toys and treats!
About: I’m a stay-at-home mom with 3 little ones and two sweet senior Aussies, so I’m used to lots of moving parts and staying on a routine. I’ve got experience with older dogs—giving meds, helping them move around comfortably, and making sure they feel calm and cared for. I’m super reliable, love animals, and treat every pet like one of my own. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or just giving your pup a little extra love while you’re out, I’m here to help! Pet care fits really well into my routine! I’m home full-time with my kids, so we’re on a steady schedule that makes it easy to plan drop-ins throughout the day. Whether it’s morning, midday, or evening, I can pop in, give your pet some love, a potty break, fresh water, or whatever they need. Taking care of animals just feels like a normal part of our day—we’re all animal lovers over here! During drop-ins, I make sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets a potty break, and some love and attention. I stick to your routine and make sure they’re happy and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have 28 years experience with dogs of different breeds, with my favorite being German shepherds. I had 2 for 10 years. They both passed away last year so I currently do not have any dogs or other animals. Experience with various different types of reptiles - snakes, monitors, geckos. Ducks, chickens, you name it - I will look after it🫡 I have a very flexible schedule that would allow me to be available for long periods of times, very short notice, end during business hours, when most people are at work and neither their dog looked after. I will go over rules very extensively with everyone before the booking. Thank you medication’s for everything will be labeled and talked abouttt.m

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Barney home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Barney.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Barney sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
