“Savannah is the absolute best! We had a last minute need while we were out of town and she dropped everything to help us out! Our pups adore her and she kept us informed of her visits without ever having to ask or wonder how things were going. Responsible. Reliable. Kind. Caring. And very in tune with our pups! An absolute gem!”
“Kamron was great - very communicative and sent me timely updates on both kitties. Lots of pictures (which are always appreciated) and I could tell our friendlier cat was happy to spend time with them. Will definitely book with Kamron again in the future, if available!”
“Stacy did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away. She did everything we asked and was very pleasant to communicate with. I would happily trust her to take care of our pets again next time we are away.”
“Ryan is great with our dog Wylder. He drops in over the weekend and takes him for walks/potty breaks. He sends photos of him playing and info on what they did. Wylder definitely seems happier and calmer since Ryan has been dropping in.”
About: We have cared for pups for many years. We lost our two pups in 2022 who we've raised since they were 3 months old. It brings us comfort to know that we gave them rich, fulfilling lives. To honor their memories, we volunteer and foster with the local animal shelter and pet sit when possible. We currently have a 5 year old, 10lb Maltese/Shitzsu name Penny who we adore. She loves playing with other pups! I work at Emory and my wife is currently a stay at home mom to our 2 children. Due to this flexibility, we are able to be afforded a lot of time to care for your pets. We walk 2-3x's daily around the neighborhood (1-2 mile routes) and never double book (unless they're siblings) to ensure that the time we have with your pet is dedicated for them. We have a large, fenced-in yard on a half acre lot so your pet will have plenty of room to stretch their legs and get their wiggles out. We can commit to taking them out to potty every 2-4hrs during the day. We have experience with both crate trained pups and free range pups so long as they are non destructive when left out. We are also comfortable using healthier treats (such as rotisserie chicken) to reinforce good behaviors. We have toys, blankets, a bed, and large metal crate in our home should your pup need them. We typically take 1-2 walks daily, averaging 1-2 miles per walk - so your pet will have ample opportunity to enjoy new sights and smells during their stay with us.
“Jordyn was great! She came over to meet our dogs beforehand and was so good with them. Provided us a rover card each day so we could see what the dogs were up to when she came! We will definitely be using her in the future :)”
“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.”
“Anna was amazing! Our dog Midnight Star loved her so much, that the first day we were back, he ran to the front door promptly at six and sat there looking out the window, waiting for her. Anna sent us pictures, detailed info about the visit, and a map of their walk after every single visit, so we never worried about whether he was well taken care of. I would highly recommend Anna for walks, home visits, or any other needs you have for your pet.”
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 am a alumni of maryville college with a biology degree and UAB with a MPH. I have a high passion for animals and would enjoy caring for them, I also have a dog, 2 cats, and bearded dragon of my own so I have experience in the everyday care for them. P.S I ALSO LIZARD SIT !! I have worked at a animal shelter, a popup vaccine clinic for pets, and worked at a spay/neuter clinic. This provides me with over 5 years of basic pet and medical care experience. I also have learned a lot about animal behavior which provides me with the knowledge on how to approach your animal or calm them down of needed. Im a stay at home mom available 24/7. My dog goes on a walk three times a day. We have a dog park that I take then to and give them a little time to be outside and sniff. My pets are very well taken care of and geta lot of attention. My dog is crated when I leave as she is a escape artist and likes to take food off of the counter. However my animals sleep with me every night and gets plenty of cuddles.
About: I have about three years of experience watching over cats and dogs by either house-sitting or drop-ins. Friends, family, and members of my community have relied on me to watch over their pets. I haven't met a dog who hasn't liked me so far. I have grown up with a cat that had a long and comfortable life of 18 years and am leaning towards getting another one. My greatest attribute that I have while watching over pets is my patience, especially when getting to know them. I can easily shift my temperament based on the type of animal I'm taking care of. My schedule is very flexible because I work from home and can bring my work with me if needed. I am willing to work during any time of day including mornings and evenings. Since I work from home, I have the ability to be very attentive towards the animals. I have an apartment with a large space so they have plenty of room to roam around. If you would like for me to house-sit, I have a great attention to detail and I firmly abide by and respect whatever house rules and responsibilities that are set. I will also follow any medications or dietary restrictions that your pet needs.
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.

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! 🐾

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. 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 .

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.
