“Shannon is great with my Doberman! She definitely knows how to handle him and is very assertive when she needs to be! I am so happy I found someone I can trust to watch my sweet pup!”
About: I've been caring for cats for over seven years and currently have two cats of my own. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine, and I enjoy taking the time to help them feel comfortable while their owners are away. My experience includes feeding, refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, administering basic care, playtime, and providing lots of affection (if your cat wants it!). I've also cared for friends' cats and know how important it is to keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or prefers their own space, I'll make sure they receive patient, attentive care. I currently have open availability from June 29 through July 5 perfect for some summertime pet sitting. Outside of that I am available in the evenings and early morning. I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each cat's individual needs and personality. During visits, I'll make sure they have fresh food and water and plenty of attention based on their comfort level. Some cats love to play and cuddle, while others prefer a quiet companion, and I'm happy to respect their boundaries. I'll also keep your home tidy, bring in packages or mail if requested, and send photo updates so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Wow this was my first time using Rover and must say it was great! Whitney, is the best person for a first-timer. It is evident Whitney loves dogs and dogs love her. Whitney kept me updated constantly with photos and daily routine. Whitney treated my Carly as her own which ease any anxiety I had and will be back, no question! Whitney is the BEST and I appreciate her so much for loving my Carly as much as I would. Thank you so very much! Mark M.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and chickens. While I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes, I'm most experienced with large dogs, and have no problem managing pups who weigh well over a hundred pounds. I also have experience training puppies, and am currently learning the basics of canine massage. Around me, your fur baby will always be happy, well-loved, and protected! I'm currently unemployed outside of pet-sitting and dog walking, so my schedule is generally pretty open. Most of my availability is in the morning and early afternoon, but I'm quite flexible as it relates to scheduling. Please let me know if you require my services outside of my typical hours, and I'll be happy to try and accommodate you! When taking clients on walks, I'm careful to ensure their safety and comfort. I often bring booties with me to protect their feet on hot days, and make sure I'm stocked up on water and pet parent-compliant treats before embarking on walks. While walking, I let dogs sniff around as much as they like, and provide a gentle guiding hand and a vigilant eye to protect them from harm. Before I leave, I check to make sure all entrances are locked in order to maintain the safety of my clients and their home.
About: Hello, my name is Naiah. I have been a pet caretaker/pet mom for 8 years. I’m based in Castleberry Hill, Atlanta and I’m the caretaker of 2 energetic dogs and 4 other animals. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies as young as 5 months old. As a dog mom and animal lover, I will treat your fur baby with love, compassion, and patience! I’m currently working full time as a behavioral therapist but my Thursday and Friday afternoons are always open! I have ample weekend availability and I am always open to AM check in’s Monday-Friday. I will always adhere to the pet owners preferences when it comes to in home care. I have no problem adjusting my care to the environment that I am working in.
About: I've took care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I had a blind cat that I cared for when I was 17 years old. Feeding and walking are the main ways to keep animals well taken care of. Exercising helps keep the pets in great condition with blood properly flowing to the heart. I'll soon be working on getting my veterinarian certificate/license. I'm currently free everyday just not after 6 o'clock pm. I’m free Friday-Sunday mainly all day. If you need a weekend sitter I can be there. I can keep your dog occupied playing and giving belly rubs. Make sure there are no hazards that the animal can choke on safety first.
“Kerry has saved me multiple times now with last minute bookings and I always love the pictures she sends over of the cats during her visits. 10/10 Would recommend booking with Kerry!”
“Extremely professional, very tentative to my dog's needs, patient and responsible. On time for all scheduled shifts, and ensure communication was consistent. We will most definitely hire him again to watch our fur baby.”
About: Animals are truly a gift to our lives. With my love and care I will make sure your precious gift is well loved, groomed, and taken cared of while you’re away. I will take into considerstion all of your pet’s needs and wants, along with yours, to make sure your pet gets the best care possible. This is my first time working as a pet sitter on an official app like Rover, but I have experience taking care of my own pets and walking dogs on WAG!, so I know how much your pets mean to you! Saying this, I am beyond excited to get into the field! I am always open to talk and work around schedules! I hope that you choose me to care for your little (or big) bundle of joy! I’m currently working remote so I have plenty of time to watch, play with, and walk your pet! I often take walking breaks during the work day as well, so I will make sure they get plenty of sunlight and exercise. Your loved one will never be lonely and they will have plenty of company during the day. I will treat your pet like it’s my own: with lots of love and lots of care. I’ll make sure to check your pet daily for any abnormal behavior so that you are immediately aware of anything concerning. In my own home, I’ll make sure to put away things that may pose a danger to them, allow them to smell the area to become familiar with it, and stay in their eyesight so they can learn to become comfortable in my presence. In your own home, I’ll be respectful of your space. I’ll keep your pet from areas that are off limits and make sure to clean spaces that they frequent often. On walks, I’ll keep an eye out on the areas that we walk in and the things they pick up (especially puppies) so they aren’t digesting anything harmful. I’ll take all precautions to make sure your pet is safe and sound!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was four, and they’ve always been a big part of my life. Caring for them makes me genuinely happy; they bring me peace and joy. I love making dogs feel safe, loved, and playful, and this job would let me earn money doing something I truly enjoy: spending time with animals. I currently work during the week at night so i am only available on the weekends and if needed during the week it would have to be early morning I always make sure pets are well fed, get plenty of playtime, and go on walks. I spend quality time with them so they feel comfortable, loved, and safe while in my care. SERVICES WILL BE DONE AT CLIENTS HOME
“Ronnie, Emma and Mae seemed very comfortable and content when my wife and I returned home from vacation, which speaks volumes about the care they received. Virginia followed all of our instructions to the letter and even went the extra mile by spending extra time playing with all our cats!”
“Catherine was so welcoming with our pup. She was patient, kind and very loving. She took the time to give him his space while also showing her authority. We will absolutely be hiring her again. 10/10”
“Needed a cat sitter while I was away getting married and on honeymoon and Mary was great helping us keeping cats hydrated with clean litter. It was a nice surprise to find a flower arrangement from her once I came back home! 😁”
“Jill was fantastic! Patches was well taken care of and she kept me updated with every visit...pictures, and showed true care for my little guy will definitely be a returning customer!”

I’m basically open to all, and look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - College Park
Briony was amazing with Cooper and he really enjoyed his time with her! It was my first time leaving him with a new person. She was very patient, communicative, supportive while I was away. She really went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable with the care she provided. Cooper had several hot spots that were in different phases of healing. She was very attentive to his care and made sure he got what he needed during every visit. Furthermore, after a power outage, my fridge had a leak. She communicated that to me asap and did what she could to ensure there was no additional damage. 10/10 would definitely recommend!!!
Madison was an amazing sitter and I would absolutely hire her again to watch my dog. She was very understanding and patient when watching him. He’s got a few little weird traits but she was able to adapt to his needs to make sure he was comfortable while I was away. I received daily updates with pictures and I could tell he was being well taken care of and enjoyed his visits with her.
Sean was our first experience hiring someone to look after our girls. He was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and spent time with our babies. One of them consistently had accidents while we were gone but Sean took care of it every single day no problem. He made sure to spend some time with them in the yard and gave them some brushing due to it being shedding season! Since he lives close to us, he would pop by in to check on them in the afternoon. One of our babies started showing some scary symptoms our last night of vacation and Sean cared as if it was one of his own babies. Sean was fantastic and we highly recommend hiring him!
I had the pleasure of having Adia dog sit for me while I was away, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was responsible, communicative, and clearly cared for my dogs as if they were her own. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!

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 College Park 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 College Park 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.

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 College Park 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.
