About: I have been caring for animals for my entire life, from taking point with family pets during my childhood to now having pets of my own. I am comfortable with and have taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I am currently enrolled in college full time, but with primarily online courses which allows me considerable freedom in my schedule for pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking, etc. I know how important pets are - they are members of the family. As such, I pride myself on following owner instructions carefully, and treating the pets I watch and the homes I enter with the same love and respect I treat my own with.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. While I don’t have any, people around me trust me to look after theirs. I’ve always had cats and currently have 4 of my own. I have also had experience taking care of reptiles as well! It’s always nice to feel needed in an animals life and to give them the love they deserve. I do not currently have a job- so I am available when you need someone most! Just shoot me a message and I’ll reply asap! I make sure my own pets feel comfortable in their space and I’d make sure yours felt the same. Providing a comfortable environment for pets is essential to gain trust and respect from them.
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: Dogs have been at the center of my world for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family fostered rescue dogs, which taught me how to connect with, comfort, and care for dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. Today, I am the proud owner of two dogs that I have raised and trained since they were puppies. I know firsthand the dedication it takes to keep a dog healthy, well-behaved, and thriving. Your dog’s health and happiness are my absolute top priorities. I treat every dog in my care with the same love and attentiveness that I give my own. Because I believe a happy dog is an active dog, my visits focus on physical exercise and mental stimulation. I work a full-time, hybrid schedule in law enforcement with standard hours from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. I work from my home office almost the entire month, meaning I am present all day to provide companionship, frequent potty breaks, and a highly structured routine for your pet. I am only required to go into the physical office about 3 days per month. On those specific days, I am still fully available for early morning and evening care, though any pets boarding with me would need to be comfortable being left alone during my core office hours. My schedule is very flexible. Having pets and working with them my whole life I understand how important routines are. I respect the pet's normal feeding, medication, and exercise schedule precisely as requested. I keep client’s homes clean, tidy, and secure, just how I found it. I send regular photo and video messages so pet parents feel relaxed while they are away.
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.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Byron is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $21 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 265 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Byron. 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.
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 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
