About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue around a year. I was responsible for fixing them food, water, cleaning their crate and playing with them. I also had a family dog growing up and currently have three cats. I work from home full-time and get multiple breaks throughout the day, so I am always available at home. I am a homebody and have the time to care for animals. I have a fenced in back yard with a grassy area. Pets sitting on the furniture and being around is no issue. I do have three cats, but I am able to keep them separate at all times.
About: I’ve constantly been around dogs since I was 6. I’ve dog sat in the past and I am accustomed to all sorts of dogs — big or small, playful or calm, young or old! I am a full time student at Mercer University. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest, where I’ll be in classes from 8 AM-3:15 PM. Reach out to me to hear more about my school schedule! I currently have an American bully, a cockatiel, and a parakeet. In the past I’ve had other large dog breeds, a cat, fish, and turtles. I also have some familiarity with reptile care. I feed, walk, and play with my pets and always make an effort to keep them stimulated!
“Heartly did a wonderful job with my four cats while I was out of town. She made sure they were all safe, happy on their usual schedule. She kept me well informed about how they were doing and even sent photos. Her professional care and good animal skills were much appreciated.”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, including senior pets and those with special needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable. My top priority is providing you with peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pets are receiving attentive, compassionate care. Leave your fur babies with me and enjoy your trip worry-free. I currently have a flexible work schedule so I have plenty of time to love on your fur babies while you’re away!! Please feel free to reach out with any questions about availability. I ensure trusted customized services to meet the unique needs of your pet! I strive for the best experience for them and you. I pride myself on excellent communication with lots of pictures and updates, so you can rest easy knowing your fur family is thriving.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16 so I have lots of experience. For example, I dog sit for neighbors in my neighborhood and family friends. I’m currently employed at Camp Bow Wow doggy daycare and have been there for a year now. I also volunteered at the humane society for a little over a year. I treat each pup like it’s my own. I’m very caring, give great cuddles and knowledgeable on dogs behavior no matter the breed and age. So if you’re looking for a sitter I would be more than happy to watch your babies! Pet care has been my passion for as long as I can remember and it’s been my full time job for over a year now. I can be available at anytime you need me. Just shoot me a message and we can schedule a meet and greet, I look forward to meeting you! I would be able to stay at your house and would not be able to take your pup to my house. Depending on the breed and age of your dog I could make an exception if it’s a puppy that would be doable. But it would be easier for me to stay at your house just for safety reasons if your dog wouldn’t get along with my 2 dogs.
About: Effective October 15, 2026: I am relocating and moving services to Milledgeville, Ga. I will reinstate my pickup/dropoff fees. Please review the profile in its entirety. I will host a few doggy play dates throughout the month. I am employed as a nurse PRN. With that being said, my schedule is as flexible and open as I intend for it to be. Potty and feeding times are considered when making my schedule for the day. Fur babies typically get let out Q4H. Dogs are not allowed free range. Pups are either let into fenced in backyard or dog park, or expand their horizons on an open field with 50 or 100-foot tethers to run around. Although their recall may be good with you, I want to ensure your babies come back to you the way you left them. I follow directions and your suggestions to the T. I take care of them the same way in which you'd take care of your babies.

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 Byron 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. 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.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
