“Samantha did a fantastic job taking care of our pets while we were out of town. We have a dog that is challenging when you first meet her, but Samantha with her calm demeanor and animal behavior experience, won our dog over and now Fiadh loves it when Samatha comes over for a walk. Samantha kept in touch with us consistently and sent plenty of pictures. We highly recommend her!”
“Sydney does such a great job for us! The pets all love her, even our skittish kitty. She also leaves the house looking better than she left it and is so pleasant to work with! She'll definitely take great care of anyone's home and pets. :)”
About: I have never had a moment in my life where I haven’t been around a cat! I have always been a caregiver to the many cats I had while growing up! My schedule is very flexible! I am currently a part-time student at UGA. I have class Monday through Thursday and get out of class late afternoon! I will gladly follow any instruction or specific requests for taking care of your animal. Nothing is an inconvenience and I will put in the effort!
“Peyton is just wonderful! She did overnights with 3 of my dogs while we went to the beach. I couldn’t be happier! It was so nice to have the peace of mind that the dogs were well cared for. Peyton sent pictures every day, gave me updates, and even brought treats for the dogs! If you hire her, your pets will be in such good hands. I would definitely hire Peyton again in the future!”
“Raina was exemplary! She took great care of our of menagerie (dogs, cats, and fish), leaving them healthy and happy. She followed every instruction we left! Amazing. Smart and kind! I loved her updates with fun pix of our fur babies. They completely accepted her as their new adopted mom! It was comforting to know she was enjoying them, too. This was the best puppy-and-cat babysitting experience we've ever had. We will definitely hire her again and again. She feels like family now, and I'm sure the animals agree :)”
“Mallory was very friendly, and my cats loved her. She took great care of our house while we were gone and brought in packages that arrived. She sent photos and videos of the kitties, and she was easy to communicate with. I will definitely ask her to petsit again.”
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child and have had them all growing up. Professionally I have worked at a overnight dog boarding kennel for two years! I work Monday through Friday with autistic children but I’m available before and after work as well as the whole weekends to take care of your pups! I love to take care of dogs in their own home so that they will feel more safe and secure in the safety of their own space!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was kid. I regularly pet sit at least once a month. I love petsitting!! I’m currently a full-time student but my schedule is flexible and not super busy. Mon., Wed., Fri., I am free in the morning. Tue. and Thurs. I am free in the afternoon and evening. I have a dog and a back yard. I also walk my dog everyday and feed him/change his water twice a day. So, I am used to caring for pets.
“Amanda was great! She stayed at our house for a week and took amazing care of our pups. She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the week! We will definitely be using her again :)”
About: I have been house and dog/pet sitting for the past 5 years and adore working with animals! I am happy to help with pets who are more active and pets who just need someone to give them attention and be a comforting presence. I work with pets of all sizes and have lots of experience with senior pets who need more medical attention- This experience includes giving shots, pills, and applying topical medication! I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your fur babies! I have a flexible schedule when it comes to fitting in walks and check-ins, I am usually working on weekend mornings and afternoons, but usually only for 4-6 hours at a time! I am currently unable to take care of your pets in my home due to a dog of my own who gets stressed around new animals! I can care for your pets in whatever ways they need, whether it be giving them oodles of attention, talking or singing to them, or simply just be in the room with them as a safe presence to ease yours and their minds!
About: i’ve grown up with dogs and cats. i have 2 cats and 2 dogs at my parents. i have experience with all sizes of dogs. i also have experience in senior care for dogs (my dog is 18). i’m a bartender on the weekends sometimes, so my days are always free, especially week days! i mainly take online classes so my availability is pretty open! i love animals and will treat your babies as if they are my own! i’m always happy to do whatever your pet needs to feel loved and safe.
About: I have always had a pet for as long as I can remember and I have loved them all dearly and enjoyed their company and taking care of them. Friends have had me check in on and care for their pets while they are busy with school or work. I enjoy meeting pets of all sizes and breeds and giving them the care and love I would give to my own pets. I am currently working toward my Master’s at the University of Georgia in Exercise Science. A typical day consists of me going to my internship for a couple of hours, class, and then internship again in the evening for a couple more hours. I have plenty of free time in the morning and afternoon to hangout by the pool, workout, do homework, or take care of some furry friends! I make sure to respect every client's home and belongings when providing care to pets. I aim to make sure the space is clean and am happy to clean up any pet related accidents. I provide high-quality care to any pet and make sure to follow instructions correctly.
“Gina was responsive when I reached out and my pup seemed happy when I returned home. House was clean and tidy so no complaints there. Didn't really have a whole lot of communication while I was away so am assuming all was good!”
“They were very kind and attentive to all of the care instructions for our three pups! All of our dogs loved them and seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home. They left our home nice and clean as well. Would definitely rebook with them :)”
About: Hello! My name is Destinee and I am available in the Athens area to help take care of and love your pets. I absolutely love being around animals and can not wait to get started working with yours! I don't currently have a dog, and I am itching for some canine affection! I am reliable, trustworthy, caring, observant, and patient and can give your pet the specific care they need. I am 29 years old and have had a variety of pets throughout my life, including cats, dogs, rodents, and reptiles. I work hard to give my pets a great quality of life, and because of this, I have lots of experience with day-to-day tasks such as feeding, walking, bathing, brushing, and playing. I also have experience with basic training, administering some medications, and smaller animals. I am always open and quick to learn so please do not hesitate to reach out with specific needs! After being away from Rover for awhile to work elsewhere, I am greatly looking forward to spending time with animals again! As of now, my schedule is wide open. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions and thank you for reading. I currently work a very flexible, part-time remote job and am available pretty much anytime needed. I accept same day drop-in visits and walks, and have plenty of free time, energy and attention to give to your furry (or not!) friends! My home has a wide open, fenced in back yard that is great for exercise and playtime. Your pet will never be left alone outside while I watch them. I will always be there, carefully supervising and playing!
About: I have been around animals my whole life and I love them! I have a 4 year old kitty named Bunny and she is everything to me. My best friend has a mini Australian shepherd that is very friendly and I love being around him. I also have watched my brother and sister in law’s dogs for 2 years now. They ranged from having 4-8 dogs at different points and I would love to go stay with them, feed them, and get to play with their fluffy selves! I am working limited hours at this time, so I am available weekdays 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.- 9 p.m., and also weekends any time! I will monitor the animals needs and be there in any way I am needed. I will take them outside as much as directed, feed them, make sure they have water, and love on them!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Comer
Patricia was an excellent communicator while watching our pups. This was our first experience having a sitter stay with our dogs and she made us feel very comfortable they were in good hands. Even our nervous dog took to her very quickly! We will definitely use Patricia again when we need someone to care for our dogs.
Patty made our Thanksgiving travel so easy! She stayed in our home with our senior dog, keeping up with her feeding schedule. She left our home clean and our anxious dog happy. Patty responded to texts promptly, and helped with some unplanned chicken care. We will be seeing Patty again next time we need dog care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 361 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Comer. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Comer 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 Comer 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Comer 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Comer. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
