“Jeanmarie was an excellent cat sitter while we were out of town! She was always on time and sent updates daily, which was much appreciated. We felt very comfortable with her watching our cats and we would definitely recommend her services and will book her for any future cat sitting needs!”
“Chimere took great care of my pets while I was out of town. I felt very confident leaving the cats in her care due to her experience with animals and her kind personality. I’ll definitely book again! Thank you, Chimere.”
About: Pets are family and your family is safe with me. I am responsible, caring, and a dependable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and understands the importance of providing them with patience, attention, and loving care. I currently have 4 pets of my own, my two dogs Evy (6 years old) and Bruno (10 years old) and my two cats Muffin (14 years old) and Pumpkin (6 years old). They are all rescue pets and I have cared for them since they were puppies and kittens thus making me experienced in pet care of any age from infant to senior. I am able and happy to help with feeding, walks, playtime, medication, or other routine needs, as well as keeping pets comfortable and supporting their normal schedules while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I am committed to following each owner's instructions carefully. I am also reliable, have an excellent clean background and driving record and can be entrusted with your pets and your homes. My attachment to animals run so deep that throughout COVID I cooked and fed hundreds of stray cats and dogs in Dhaka, Bangladesh. My top priority is to give pet owners peace of mind by making sure their animals feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I am available on weekdays for drop-ins and dog walks from 6am upto 2pm and after 9pm at night. My overnight sitting hours are from 10am to 6am. Weekends are available upon request and advance notice. I do not do boarding or daycare at my own home as I have a multi-pet household and like to focus my attention on my own pets when I am home. In my absence they are well taken care of by my spouse and child. For drop in visits I do feedings, cleanings and playtime with the pets and follow client instructions to the letter. I also keep clients informed and share photos and videos of their pets while I am with them. Keeping pets fed, happy and mentally stimulated in their owners absence is my top priority.
“Georgia was extremely accommodatting and took extremely great care of my pups. She updated me and sent pictures while I was out of town. I will definitely use her again to watch my babies!”
“Alexandra was a great sitter! She took lots of cute photos of our dog and took such good care of her. She even went above and beyond and watered my plants! On top of that she took our pup for a walk every time she came over even though she wasn't required to. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: Your dog will be in great care with me! I'm a huge animal lover, and have experience watching a variety of dogs, including different sizes ranging from 4 pounds to 80 pounds! I'll be happy to assist you with dogs that have special needs, Including if your dog has an injury, needs medication, or isn't potty trained. I'm a college student with a pretty open availability and I'll try to be as flexible as possible to care for your dog whenever its easiest for you. I will be able to walk your dog regularly and make sure they get exercise that they will love along with just spending time with them throughout the day. I've been really enjoying my rover experience these past few years and caring for dogs and creating bonds with them is really fun for me! Ill treat your dog like its my own. Message me and we can discuss what sitting option is best for you and your dog! I’m a college student and am currently taking classes online so I have very open availability. Ideally, I can stay with your pets throughout the day instead of drop in visits. I am able to give your dog the medication it needs, provide fresh water and food, grooming, and companionship and company along with any other responsibilities that are tailored to your unique dog. I am able to help with anything if there are any specific instructions for your dog.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats. Young, old, cuddly, and grouchy. I have administered medicine and changed diapers. I have also cleaned litter boxes. I currently work part time. I’m a dance teacher. I usually teach in the afternoons/evenings. I don’t work on the weekends. I am usually free in the mornings and middle of the day. I make sure they get plenty of time outside if that’s what they desire. I also make sure they have plenty of food, water, treats, and pets.
About: As an elementary school teacher, patience, consistency, attentiveness, and building trust are a big part of what I do every day. I’m looking to provide pet care as a way to earn some additional income while continuing to do something I genuinely enjoy: helping and supporting others in my community. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pets are safe, cared for, and getting the attention they deserve while you’re away. I’ve been caring for pets for many years through drop-in visits, with experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I typically handle feeding (refreshing food and water), letting dogs out, any necessary clean up, and spending time with pets who simply want some company and attention. Rabbits are a particular specialty of mine. I have nearly a decade of experience caring for rabbits, including elderly rabbits who require more attentive and nuanced care. I understand that rabbits can have very specific routines and needs, and I take the time to follow their care instructions carefully and notice the little things that can make a big difference. I typically am out of out work by 3pm, allowing me plenty of time let in the day to support your pet as needed. While I like to stick to weekdays, weekends are not off the table. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m attentive to their routines and needs, follow care instructions carefully and make their safety and comfort a priority during every visit. I’ll care for your home respectfully and keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away (with plenty of pictures! :D)
“Talya is great! It's clear how much she adores animals, and she took wonderful care of my dog. She responded quickly to messages, took tons of pictures, and was super easy to work with. (Plus my dog seems pretty happy with her too ?) I'll definitely book with her again!”
“I am so grateful to have had Paula pet-sit for my cat, Gomez! Paula has a natural way with animals and Gomez absolutely adored them (and they Gomez) when she came to ask questions on how I wanted Gomez cared for. I received lots of update pictures which put my mind at ease knowing Gomez was happy and well-cared for. I came home to a clean and tidy space. It was clear that Paula took great care of my home as well as my cat. I would highly recommend Paula as a responsible and loving pet sitter!”
About: Hello, thank you for viewing my pet sitter profile! A little about myself: My name is Jamie and I’m an Atlanta native resident. My hobbies include gardening, playing instruments, traveling, exercising, jewelry making, researching, and playing with my dog, Harley. I am now in the process of switching careers and have decided to offer animal care services as a means of entrepreneurship and financial support. In providing care services to pets and their parents, I aim to offer a sense of peace and community to the clients that I serve. Before agreeing to take your pet, I will need to conduct a meet-and-greet with at least one pet parent. The purpose of this meeting is to establish a pet-caretaker relationship and alleviate the stress of being left with someone new (me). This is also a great opportunity for questions you may have for me and my caretaking methods. Wouldn’t want to leave your baby with a total stranger, right? My schedule of availability is completely flexible, with all services offered 7 days a week. Scope of Services: Dog walks Potty breaks House visits/checks Dog/Cat play and interaction Dog/Cat feedings Medication administration Pet bathing I have a dog of my own that I mention, named Harley. If you would like to arrange for her to meet-and-greet as well, please state this in your initial contact message. She would love to meet you and your pet too! :)
“Jacqueline did a great job checking on 5 dogs for me! It was super last minute and she was willing to come over to do a meet and greet and then let them out the very next day. I can tell they were very happy and had a great time with her.”
“Julie was great. I went out of town for a few days and she stopped by every day and checked on my cat. She sent me pictures and videos, it definitely made me feel like my cat was in good hands. Will definitely use Julie again in the future.”
“Jiayue and Joshua took great care of our cat Minerva! They were very communicative, careful to follow all instructions and ask questions for clarification, and sent lots of photos and videos. We would be happy for them to care for her again any time!”
About: I couldn't imagine my life without DOGS! Ever since I was young, my family has always had at least one dog in the home; from small dogs such as Yorkshire Terriers to larger dogs such as Labrador Retrievers (I've had MANY), I've had and LOVED them all. I currently have 1 precious, female Labrador Retriever named Kiaya who is playful, sweet and wonderful around children! I love exercising, so walking your dog(s) will never be an issue for me! Whether it be an afternoon walk or backyard play, I am available for those short visits as well; even if last minute! I have a large, fenced in yard so your pups will have plenty of room to roam. We also have a swimming pool so if your pup is up for a swim, he or she is welcome! Also, if youd prefer your dog to steer clear of the water, that can easily be arranged as well! I look forward to caring for your canine family member just as I would my own. I hope you will consider me for your next booking. I can assure you that your furry friends will have a luxury "staycation" that they will never forget! Please contact me at anytime even during the evening hours to schedule or if you have any questions! New to Rover?? Use my promo code: CHERYW80641 to receive $20 off your first booking! I am extremely flexible and home all days of the week and can be readily available on short notice. I have a flexible summer schedule as well! Whether playing fetch in my backyard, playing in the water, or taking short and/or long walks, your fur babies will always have my undivided attention. Safety is a top priority! No need to worry when they are in my care!
About: I was originally pre-vet and also worked kennel technician jobs, so I have years of experience with dog/cat pet care and medicine administration. I am comfortable caring for any age of pets. I am currently working full time Monday-Friday from 7:30-4. I work from home Monday and Friday, so I have more flexibility those days. I am free every Saturday and Sunday. I also get all holidays off, and am usually available those days/holiday weekends. My apartment complex has a dog park area and I have a personal fenced back area. It is mostly concrete but has some flower beds. I have a cat in my home, and he has been tested with other dogs/cats and keeps to himself. He can be closed off in my room if needed. There is also a guest bedroom that has nothing of importance in there, so if there’s a situation where you’d prefer a safe quiet space for a potentially anxious pet, that should be perfect. I can cater my space to your pet and will give them all the love they want.

Meghan was really great with our senior dogs while we were out of town for the weekend. She sent lots of pictures, which made me feel comfortable seeing that our dogs were happy, playing, and eating. She also communicated promptly if she had any questions. Would definitely recommend Meghan to others, and will be booking her again in the future!
Danielle took exceptional care of Theo!! He is often slow to warm up to new sitters, but by the second visit it was clear that he really liked her. She provided insightful messages on Theo each day and I had peace of mind knowing she was checking in on him. I would absolutely book her again and you should too!
Elisabeth did a fantastic job with our three pups. She followed all directions and made the whole process worry free. She has a great calming energy, which even put our shyest pup at ease during our initial meet and greet. We feel lucky to have found such a gem and look forward to using her again in the future.
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! 🐾

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 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. 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
