About: I am a Type A sitter! I was raised with animals so they are my sweet spot. Rather you have a cuddler or a high-energy zoomer I make my space convenient for them. As a veteran and healthcare professional. I provide notes on my time with your pet no matter how big or small. The goal is for me to not only communicate that he/she is okay but to also communicate their emotional state. Rather requested or not, I provide photos so that you can view how your pet appeared throughout our time together and also see any adventures we may have taken. If you have ANY special requests to make regarding your pets potential time with me that creates a stress free environment for them and you please feel free to ask prior to or during booking. I am an army veteran and student who has plenty of time to be hands-on with your baby. I treat any animal care job as a clock-in job and remain dedicated during those timeslots. I live in a townhome and have a fenced in playground where animals can run free. I reserve the playground to ensure that your baby, my two (toy poodle and mini schnauzer) are the only ones there. I have walking trails all around me and utilize that as a way for exploration and exercise.
“Christina was so wonderful with my cat. Even though he gave her a hard time taking his medicine, she didn't give up trying. This is the first time I've used this service and I'm so glad I found Christina.”
“Devin was a trooper! Luna doesn’t like strangers, and their first encounter (without Dad) was a bit unsuccessful. However, she didn’t give up on our girl. The second visit was much better and everyone was happy. Will definitely be using Devin again in the future! Great job!!! THANKYOU!!”
“Sophia was great with my kitties! They were both shy but she got them to warm up to her with pets and treats. She left detailed notes and pictures of each visit which gave me peace of mind while I was on my honeymoon. Definitely recommend :)”
“I can’t recommend Vienna enough! She took incredible care of our two dogs while we were away and went above and beyond in every way. She made sure the pups got out three times a day for walks and bathroom breaks, and it was clear from the moment we got home that our dogs had been loved and well cared for. Vienna was always punctual, dependable, and communicated with us throughout the stay, giving us total peace of mind. Our dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly bonded with her. We would absolutely trust Vienna with our dogs again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’m a lifelong schnauzer lover, and after losing both of my beloved furbabies within the last three years, my home just hasn’t felt the same. I miss the snuggles, the walks, and that joyful energy they brought to every day. Caring for other pets allows me to share that love again and give your pup the same warmth, patience, and attention I once gave my own. I truly understand the comfort and companionship pets bring, and I take pride in creating a safe, affectionate environment where every furry friend feels at home. Lots of love, gentle care, and happy hearts guaranteed. 💕🐾 I run a small design agency part-time and work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. My schedule naturally revolves around school pickup, homework time, and my kids’ soccer practices— at a dog-friendly park! That means there’s plenty of room in our routine for walks, playtime, and snuggles. Your pet will get consistent attention and care woven right into our daily rhythm, not just “checked in on.” Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether they’re with us or I’m visiting your home, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and part of the family. Walks are always on-leash, routines are followed closely, and I’m big on cuddles and communication. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. 🐾

About: I have lived with dogs my whole life sometimes up to four at a time. It's stranger not to have pets around me all the time! I am currently a college graduate working on a few additional certifications. I have a flexible schedule, so I am looking for jobs where I can study in between. Owning pets can be a lot of work. I would like to make your day to day life a little easier by offering my help. I'm excited to offer my services whether it's taking them on walks, brushing their fur, or feeding them. Let's give your fur baby the love they deserve!
“Sarah was so wonderful with my pup, as she took such good care of her. She is passionate about animals and will take care of them like they are her own. I will be definitely contacting her in the future as my go to pet sitter. I also will recommend her to everyone I know. 5 Stars to Sarah!!! James H.”

I am currently working full time as a dog bather. I am available all day on Fridays and Saturdays, and after 4 PM on weekdays.

About: I’ve lived with and cared for dogs my entire life, and they’ve always been one of my favorite parts of life. I also care for rabbits and guinea pigs, so I understand the responsibility and commitment that comes with keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe every day. What sets me apart is that I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’m committed to providing dependable care while keeping you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I am available for pet care throughout the week with the exception of Monday mornings and afternoons, when I work until 5 PM. I have a consistent daily routine and will always communicate my availability clearly with pet parents. I do have my own pets that I care for, including two guinea pigs and a rabbit, so I will need to return home briefly each day to maintain their feeding and care routine. I am happy to discuss schedules with each pet parent to make sure their pet’s needs are fully met. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s unique routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, personality, and any special instructions you provide. I keep their environment clean and safe, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they have fresh water, plenty of love, and the care they need while you’re away. I will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When caring for your dog in your home, I will treat your pet and your space with the same respect, patience, and care that I give my own.

Marissa is such a sweetheart! She was so sweet with Ace. She even left us a sweet note and gift behind on her last day checking on Ace. I would 100% recommend her to care for your fur baby. She’s very knowledgeable when it comes to animals and can tell that she genuinely enjoys this and it’s not just money with her.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Buford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Buford 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
