About: I’ve always loved dogs since I was a kid. I will play with your dog and give it lots of attention! I have a dog park at my apartment complex that I will take your dog to twice a day, as well as potty breaks every 3-4 hours. I have been around dogs all my life and was formerly a dog mom of two. I have no problem with tending to any special needs, including giving any medication. I will make sure that I dedicate at least and hour of play time for them to run around and get some exercise everyday. I am available to dog sit at any time! I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I currently not working so I have plenty of time to give your dog the time and attention that they need. I’m never gone for more than three hours. I have raised all of my dogs to live long, healthy, safe lives and with do the same for you pup! I keep a tidy space, and keep a close eye on them.
About: Growing up with dogs big and small, I know how different each pup's personality can be. I love long walks and playtime for dogs with higher energy, and I've been trusted to care for a variety of different pets by friends and neighbors since I could drive. From bottle-feeding my rescue kitten to caring for senior pups who have lost function of their limbs, I understand the unique needs of each animal and the importance of their individual routines. I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule is very flexible, and I am able to accommodate last minute appointments and I am available weekends. I'm comfortable caring for crated and uncrated dogs. Given the Georgia heat in the summer, I know a lot of dogs can get uncomfortable, so I always pay attention to body language and carry water with me in case we need a break when having outside time.
“Elisabeth was absolutely amazing. My dog is quite difficult and he’s fearful of new people but from the get go he was comfortable with her. She was very communicative as I was nervous how he would be with her on her own. I will definitely be using her again!”
About: We were lucky to have two amazing dogs for 15 and 16 years, caring for them from playful puppyhood all the way through their senior years—including supporting one through cancer. They’ve since passed, and we truly miss having that love and energy in our home. Because of our experience, we’re comfortable and equipped to care for dogs at every stage of life. More than anything, we understand how much your pups mean to you, and we’ll give them the same love, attention, and care we gave our own. I work from home full time, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. Most weekends we spend time at home playing in our fenced in backyard. At my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with a fenced-in backyard for play and potty breaks. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. Crates are available if needed, and I make sure pups get plenty of love, attention, and snuggle time. When visiting a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s usual schedule to keep them comfortable. I handle feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions so your dog feels safe and loved in their own environment.
“Cameron was wonderfull. She was very professional and I could tell she loves animals. I didn't have to worry, she sent updates and photos every day. I would love to use her again ! Thank you 😊”
“Morgan was the perfect pet sitter- our cat was better than when we left him! She truly cares for the pets and is extremely responsive/ communicative! Will definitely use Morgan again!”
“Jordyn was excellent! We have 3 large dogs and a cat and Jordyn was up for the challenge! She was kind with us and our pets and sent tons of pictures! 10/10 would recommend Jordyn if you have large dogs and need someone who knows how to handle them!”
“Eryn was amazing! We had a sitter cancel last minute and Eryn was able to save the day on very short notice. She was very responsive, always on time, and went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt comfortable. We will definitely be using Eryn again on future trips!”
“Scar was great with my anxious small dog. After the first visit he was sitting by the door waiting for the visit. Scar was punctual and kept us informed about how the pets were doing on every visit.”
About: I grew up with cats, fish and hermit crabs. It wasn’t till high school that I learned to love snakes and other reptiles that I’d never interacted with before. My degree is in parks and museum education so I spent much of my time at our nature center caring for all the animals we kept. I’ve been actively pet sitting since college. I have spent many years caring for children and pets in between my jobs in the film & TV industry. I work full time for a few weeks at a time and then I have a week or so off. In most recent years that has looked like nannying and dog /cat sitting through word of mouth. So new to the app way of doing this but not new to pet sitting. I’m excited to meet more people and the pets they love. I’m pictured with my snake named Alfredo. I work in film and TV and will be between projects for 1-5 weeks at a time. I can’t take any pet sitting while on a project but my days are fully flexible and available when I’m not. Following owner’s instructions on pet care and keeping them updated throughout the time of care. Having them provide emergency contacts for veterinary care, just in case.
About: Hi, my name is Brittany and I love animals. (I'm sure everyone here says that.) I have been volunteering at various shelters for years, as well as fostering dogs and house sitting for dogs, cats, and chickens. I am trustworthy (I have client references if needed) and I take great care to make sure every pet feels love like they should. :) I do request dogs to be house trained. I can offer a nice walk on sidewalks or the trail, or just throwing a ball inside, if your pet is anything like mine was. (Miniature Rat Terrier, we played a lot of fetch in this condo.) I writing from home so there will be a lot of one-on-one time. I’m that someone to water your plants and get your mail while you are away! Big dog people: I love big dogs! If you have a backyard we can play in, perfect! I’m kind of a small human, so walks with a dog that pulls and isn’t 20 lbs is not something I’m comfortable with. Safety for everyone! My standard routine is working from my laptop, occasional grocery trips, lots of watching Hulu and couch cuddle time. I try to take a daily walk around .5 miles but can adjust to shorter or longer walks based on dog needs. I prefer staying at client’s home, I’ve found most pups feel more comfortable that way. A meet and greet is preferred, just a walk through of how you keep your house, how your pup/s like to be cared for, etc. I’m a homebody, pets will be left alone for no longer than a trip to Kroger.
About: I have had all kinds of animals growing up and caring for them in such a way that I’ve developed a lot of skill sets. From dogs to cats and even reptiles I was able to do whatever I needed to do to make sure they are comfortable,safe,well fed,got the attention and love they needed and just being there for them in every way.I don’t look at this as a job it’s my life I love all types of animals and just being around them makes me so happy.If you ever leave your pets under my supervision I can promise you that you will have no worries on my end I am a reliable person that will keep them secured in every given way needed.
About: Experienced with dogs through personal care, a doggy daycare role, and pet sitting. Reliable, attentive, and committed to providing safe, loving care for every pet. I'm currently working part time, so I will have ample amount time to play with your best friend. I am available during the weekends and most days during the week! My apartment is pet friendly and there is a lovely park near me to for your best friend to roam around and play and have loads of fun.
“Shelby was absolutely terrific with our 3 dogs! She made a point of coming by to meet them before we went out of town, and asked a lot of detailed questions about feeding, schedules, playtime, etc. She sent cute pics from each drop in visit so we could see they were doing great. Will definitely call Shelby again for our next trip!”
About: I’ve owned and raised around 6 cats throughout my life. About 3 dogs and almost all of them were rescue pets. I’ve indulged in both dog and house sitting, most of which were overnight jobs. I’ve tended to malnourished puppies where I’ve nursed them back to perfect health. All around most of my experiences were personal, such as growing up with pets but by the time I was a teenager, I indulged in house sitting, dog walking, etc. The most pets I’d say, I’ve taken care of all at once would be around 5 or 6. I’ve cared for a few reptile pets such as turtles and snakes but it has mostly been cats and dogs. For the first time in my adult life, I have my own beautiful pup. Thank you I’m looking for some real work in this field, so let me know if anyone needs someone recurring. I have reliable transportation and am mostly available. I live on a pier, in a floating home, so if you aren’t comfortable with that, we may consider sitting instead of boarding. It’s a nice, calm environment for all. I’m not picky so if the pet wants to sleep in the bed that’s fine by me!

Faith did a fabulous job taking care of our pets while we were on vacation. She was super responsive to texts, sent us photos at every visit and followed all instructions, which are a little complicated since we have 4 pets, two of which are elderly. We will definitely book with Faith again in the future. Thanks again, Faith!
We were pleasantly surprised to see our Barley so relaxed and himself when we arrived back home after the visit. We knew Jennifer and he would be great together since Jennifer has such a peaceful and attentive nature. We received wonderful photos of him looking happy and calm. Love them! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of Barley and allowing us to get out of the house for a bit without the worry. We appreciate your time and looking forward to the next visit very soon!
Benjamin was absolutely wonderful with Blu and Puddin! From the very first message he was communicative, professional, and genuinely caring. It's not easy finding someone you can trust with a high-energy Husky AND a 13-year-old teacup Yorkie, but Ben handled both of them with ease. He followed all of our care instructions perfectly and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Puddin can be a delicate little lady and Blu keeps you on your toes, but Ben took it all in stride. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups and that says everything. We will definitely be booking with Ben again; highly recommend! 🐾
I hate to brag on her because that books her calendar and makes reservations tight. However, there is no way to say anything contradictory. Sarah has become part of our family. I totally trust her with my fur babies. I think my cat loves her more than me sometimes. And she is very attentive to any changes. Like this visit she knew something was up when my dog didn’t eat the last day. She notified me and made an extra visit to come to check her condition. She is proactive when anything is abnormal. Not only does she notify me but offers suggestion on what to do. My babies are seniors like me now and she adjust their activity as needed. I could write a book on how wonderful, loving & caring Sarah has and continues to be. I am so glad Sarah came into our lives. My fur babies say 5 stars are not enough. They see her as a special Aunt that has always been there for them, loves on them and makes them happy. Oh the eating problem turned out that my dog was missing me. Since I retired we are together all the time. Once I brought my suitcase inside she ate all her food. Nice to know that my dog loves me that much and not just Sarah ❤️
Again Ms. Cat did an amazing job with my 2 babies. She is very attentive with them and knows each of their personalities really well. The biggest struggle for me is ensuring that my older dog, Walker, could get his medication. We talking through his needs each day, twice a day and she had no issues administering his eye drops. When I arrived home they were both comfortable and not stressed as I have experienced with other sitters.
Can’t say enough good things about Meredith! She is super reliable and communicative and just does such a great job with my 2 cats and bulldog. Wish I could give her another star for crawling through one of my windows to get in my house when the door was jammed. I can always count on her!!
We’ve used Elisabeth in the past and we had such a great experience we used her three times this week! My wife went out of town and I needed help making sure my two dogs got a midday potty break and play time. When I reached out to Elisabeth to see if she could help, she answered me kindly and quickly! Each of the three days Elisabeth was on time, provided me with thorough updates and sent lots of good pictures. She was very sweet with our dogs! Elisabeth is great!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Clarkston 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 Clarkston 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.
To find sitters in Clarkston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
