“Markia did an outstanding job with our dog, Ollie… prompt and courteous with us, and attentive and fun with Ollie. This was the first time in Ollie’s eight years that he’s been under the care of a non-family member and I couldn’t be happier that Markia was his first dog sitter. We’ll be using Markia again at Thanksgiving!”
“Rocky, Luna and Mocha are loved beyond and my home is exactly as I had left it. My chickens are happy! The communication while we were away was outstanding. I have never had a more relaxed trip away knowing my home and animal family is cared for.”

“Rachel was amazing! She’s super sweet and took such great care of our dogs and our home. My dogs felt extremely comfortable with her, which means a lot to us. She went above and beyond, she even cleaned up the room she stayed in, washed the sheets, and made the bed before leaving, which she definitely didn’t have to do. That really shows how much she cares and goes the extra mile to do things right. We absolutely love her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Bryan was wonderful. We had to leave town quickly to see a family member in hospice. When they passed away on our trip, he was flexible and stayed longer. He took great care of the house and dog and was in communication with us checking in regularly. I didn’t have to worry about the house or dog. I will for sure book again with him.”

“We are so grateful for Kelly! She stayed with our three dogs from November 7–9 and took such wonderful care of them. It’s not easy managing three personalities, but she gave each of them so much love and attention. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. When we got home, the dogs were happy, calm, and clearly had been well cared for — it was such a relief to know they were in such good hands. Kelly went above and beyond, and we can tell she truly loves what she does. We’ll definitely be calling her again the next time we go out of town or just need a drop-in!!”
“Stephanie was a life saver. I had a short notice booking. She was able to fit in a meet and greet, which was very important because we have a high anxiety dog. She was sweet and calm with my dogs, and also playful for my high energy dog. And our high anxiety dog started to warm up to her after a day or so: She left our home clean and orderly. Would definitely recommend!”
“Terry did an incredible job caring for our two boys, Ragnar and Rollo, while we were away for nearly 10 days. We had just moved into a new home, so they were still adjusting and needed someone patient, loving, and attentive—and Terry was all that and more. When we returned, the dogs were happy and relaxed, and the house looked fantastic. She clearly went above and beyond to make them feel safe and at home. We couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Terry—definitely five stars, and we’ll absolutely be booking her again!”

“Rebekah and her daughter took good care of our dogs while we were away from home. They sent daily pictures and updates, which I appreciated. The house was well cared for also. My dogs have allergies and, therefore, challenging feeding routines, but Rebekah followed the instructions faithfully. She walked the dogs as well. I’d be very happy to have her take care of our home and dogs again. She even did the dishes and washed all the bedding for us!”
“Tracy was great. She came to meet pets, was thoughtful to review and follow my notes, arrived on time, communicated very well during her time here and sent photos. She left our home neat and tidy. We have already booked her again.”

“She was wonderful! She was very attentive to our sweet Lola. Lola can be a handful sometimes because she’s very needy and Velcro like. She wants to be around you all the time and I know that can get bothersome and she took it like a champ. We came home and the place looked great and Lola was happy. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cartersville
Alicia is the best! She has been our go-to cat sitter for my senior kitties over the past few years. It is so comforting to know that they are in such caring hands while we are away from them. One of my kitties has some special needs and she takes such great care of him. She keeps us well informed during her stay with photos and texts of their escapades. I highly recommend Alicia for any cat-sitting needs you may have.
Madi was such a fantastic dog sitter. She was accommodating with our schedule and our girls just loved her! She sent updates and adorable photos. She did a great job with our senior dog and even helped our other dog to feel safe when fireworks were going off and scaring her. Our youngest dog ran to the door and looked sad when she left. We will definitely book her again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cartersville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cartersville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Cartersville 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!
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.
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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 .
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.
