“Joanne is a very friendly and easy going person. She took the time to do a home visit and meet my husband, my 2 greyhounds and myself before her first dog sitting job. The dogs appeared to feel very comfortable with her and she wanted to know about the dogs likes and dislikes. She explained how Rover Pet sitting worked and told me about how she would take pictures of the visit and her communication notes. The night she came for a home visit the pictures of the visit were all very positive and the girls appeared very happy.it was very nice to see them acting the same way they would if we were home. I feel very confident with her caring for our girls and will be using her again in the near future.”

About: Having been around animals my entire life, I recognize that every pet has their own special personality. Sometimes, beautiful personalities require more attention, love, or patience than others. Every pet I have owned has been rescued in some form or another, whether from a shelter or right off of the street, and each one has brought their own challenges, but also their own beautiful ways of showing love. I have no problem with jumpy, hyper, or "mouthy" pets, or any other behaviors that might be deemed "problematic". My life with all sorts of animals has allowed me to gain valuable skills, including being comfortable around pets of all sizes and shapes, handling "pushy" behaviors, and caring for senior pets with specific health issues. Allow me to offer a loving hand when yours is not available. While I do work full-time, my schedule outside of the office and ability to travel allows me the flexibility to accommodate for any pet's needs. My number-one priority has always been safety. I've worked in professional environments with animals, such farms and shelters, and carry with me the valuable lessons I gained from those jobs.

About: I have a dog sitting experience with a fur friend who has to take maintenance medicines and scheduled walks. I'm not a professional trainer but I was able to teach him one trick in my 4-day house sitting experience just for fun! I just love to play with them and seeing them learn new things from me is also an achievement. As an international student with limited working hours, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available most days of the week. I’m also looking for a job to help support my finances, and what better way to do so than by caring for and spending time with pets? I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and providing them with love, attention, and care would be both fulfilling and fun! I treat every pet and home with the utmost care and respect, just as if they were my own. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. This includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, taking them on walks, engaging them in playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I also make sure to keep the home tidy, respect house rules, and provide regular updates to the owners, so they have peace of mind knowing their pet and home are in good hands.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, which strengthens my love for animals of every kind so your pups will be in great care, as I adore animals. I took Vet Nursing classes at Johnson college, where I worked hands on with both dogs and cats and I currently work part-time at a dog boarding center where i take care of 110 dogs daily. I currently work part-time at a doggy daycare/boarding center so I have all the time in the world to play with your pups! my work schedule varies, so when I can communicate my schedule for my job when it comes around, otherwise I am extremely flexible. I have a huge yard that is fenced in, so your pup will have so much room to play and get the exercise they need, and I am extremely energetic so your pup will be played with all day!

About: I've been caring for animals for over 8 years and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether it's going on walks, playing, feeding, or providing extra attention to senior pets, I am happy to accommodate each pet's individual needs. I'm patient, attentive, and understand how important it is to maintain their routines. I'm currently a medical student, so my schedule varies depending on classes and exams. However, I have flexibility throughout the week and am generally available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting with advance planning. I also have availability on weekends and enjoy being active, so I'm always happy to take dogs on walks and give them plenty of exercise and attention. Your pet's safety and comfort are my priorities. I take the time to understand each owner's instructions, feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs before providing care. I'm attentive on walks, mindful of my surroundings, and make sure pets are always supervised and secure. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: I have been researching animals and animal care since I was able to read, I was always at the library as a kid! I worked as a dog trainer at PetSmart for two years (worked with the company for three years total!) and have met and worked with a variety of breeds. I volunteered at a dog shelter all throughout highschool as well. I have had many animals of my own and have even fostered orphaned kittens and puppies in the past! Working with animals gives me a purpose I cannot find anywhere else :) I work half remotely so I have plenty of open availability, let me know what works best with you! I'm always willing to make accommodations. When watching your pets at your home I would likely ask many questions regarding you/your pets routine so I can make things as comfortable for your pet as possible! I would never leave the pet unattended unless directed otherwise! I have experience handling large, strong breeds of dogs and have no doubt in my capabilities to keep your pet safe and comfortable.

About: I've taken care of multiple cats and dogs for the past 7 years, have helped with house sitting and dropping in to keep energetic dogs from tearing apart the house while the owners are away, and have walked dogs for quite a bit. I have also owned or lived in households where there are multiples cats and dogs, so taking care of more than one animal at a time is not an issue for me. I work night shifts and can easily pop out during the day to take care of any animal, stopping by the house to let the dog out as frequently as needed, feeding the pets, etc. I also have my own car, so transportation is not an issue. For pet care, it entirely depends on the animal. Basics, however, include feeding and providing fresh water, cleaning out litter boxes on a regular basis, and making sure dogs or more active pets get the exercise they need throughout the day.

“Logan was amazing - he came and met our dogs the day before and was very sweet with them (even though they are lunatics)! He then came to watch the dogs and left us a great detailed message about what he did with them and sent us tons of pictures. For people who are not in the area like us, we were hesitant, but he was excellent as an alternative to leaving our dogs for long hours. Highly recommend.”

Celine was lovely! Our pups connected right away, so it was obvious they would be fine. Celine asked great questions about our pups medical history, personalities, etc., and shared her experiences working with animals. Our pups had a great time! We already planned more visits for her to take care of our babies!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Blakely

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Blakely is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $16 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 333 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Blakely. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Blakely. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.

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.

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.
