About: Your animals are an extension of your family, and they should be treated as such! I am a recent empty nester looking for some fur friends to love on. I have always been a dog mom but lost our last Springer Spaniel, Brody, to old age two years ago. Looking to help another family out with their fur friend on special occasions and overnights. I do not overbook clients. Each family will get individualized attention- no rushing out. If you are on holiday, we can discuss your animals current feeding/bathroom schedule so we can keep them comfortable while you are away. Daily in-home pet care visits are broken down into two (2) 30 minute visits. Each visit includes potty break, fresh food/water (if needed) and playtime. Overnights will be an additional service and you can be add an additional 30 minute visit for an extra $10 on daily checks. At each visit, I will take 2-3 photos of your fur babies and send you an update if you'd like! Every visit will be logged in detail (ie. walked pet, got mail, play visit, feeding and bathroom updates) and left for your records upon completion of services. We can discuss additional request if needed.
“Lilly was so sweet and caring with our cats. We loved how quickly she responded to our request to book her and her constant communication with us while watching our cats. She obviously loves fur babies.”
About: I am very sweet and gentle to many animals, but I also love keeping them active by taking them on walks and playing with them!! I have school every week day, but I get out early enough to be able to visit, walk, watch, and take care of any dogs or cats. I take my dog on walks, cuddle with her, play with her, and love her to death! I love taking her to the dog park as well near my house. When I have pet sat in the past, I value taking the dog on walks and cuddling with them too!
“Stevie stayed in my home with Miley and Parker for four days and took incredible care of both of them. She made sure they received all of their medications, kept me updated with messages and photos, and gave them so much love and attention. I came home to two happy, relaxed dogs and a house that was just as I left it. Knowing they were so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'll be booking Stevie every chance I get... so get in line! 😊”
“I’m so glad I found Ryan on Rover. He is so kind and my dog, Honey, loves him!! He always sends pictures of her and updates me once I’m out and about, which is so nice. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a pet sitter ((:”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since high school and bring decades of hands‑on experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for puppies/kittens, seniors, given diabetes shots, changed diapers, and handled everything from Sheepdogs to Chihuahuas. I have two small, friendly dogs, a senior cat, and a fully fenced backyard. If your pet is dog‑and cat‑friendly, I’m happy to host them short‑ or long‑term. I truly love animals of all kinds. I am happy to come over and check on your baby, take them for a walk (or stroll), throw a ball or play light flashing, or even daycare for them at my home. I work from home all but two days a week and can modify that as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am able to care for your baby as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule.
“Very grateful for all the extra time and attention she gave my pup. He's adjusting to a lot and I felt much better having her here to give him individual attention. And having her dog was great for mine to have another dog in the house to keep him company. Definitely recommend.”
“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”
“Elizabeth watched our 4 pups while we were out-of-state and was absolutely phenomenal! Really the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Took fantastic care of both the pups and our home! She took time out of her day to take the pups to parks and even to continue working on their training while we were away. Truly loved her and will definitely be using her every time we need a sitter for our pups!”
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me—it’s truly been my life for as long as I can remember. I have 4 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also bred French Bulldogs for 8 years, so I have extensive experience with puppies, including feeding, socialization, routines, and early training. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I can also help reinforce basic training and good manners while your pup is in my care. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience, professional veterinary knowledge, and a genuine love for dogs, I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily schedule because I already spend most of my time at home caring for my own dogs and working part-time from my computer. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, medication, exercise, and rest routines while giving each pet the individualized care they need. 🐾 Safety, Trust & a Home Away From Home Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a secure, fenced in yard with separate fenced areas, which allows me to safely give dogs their own space when needed. I also have **my own crates available** if your pup is comfortable with crating, and I can easily separate visiting dogs from my own dogs whenever necessary. My dogs are very friendly and used to having other dogs around, but I always prioritize safety and supervision. I’m especially careful about **size and temperament differences. I keep larger dogs separated from smaller dogs when appropriate, so everyone can enjoy their stay safely and comfortably. With secure outdoor areas, multiple ways to separate dogs, and plenty of hands on supervision, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own while they’re here. ❤️🐶
“We re-booked Jenna for a 12-day vacation to care for our elderly two dogs with multiple medical needs. We trust her to care for them, administer their medications, and keep us informed. She sent pictures all along. The dogs enjoy having Jenna as their caregiver! I recommend her as a pet sitter as well to do drop-ins. We have also asked her to check on the dogs, let them out and feed them when we have a function in the evening. She’s a lovely, caring person.”
“Jesse was an incredible sitter for our 18 year old Chihuahua with daily Medication needs!! It was Rocco’s first Rover experience and when we came home from date night, Rocco was CALM, rested and HAPPY. :) He’s a VERY VERY PICKY CUSTOMER so JESSE made this worried Dog Mama Very RELIEVED and Thankful! We Will BOOK AGAIN!”
“I highly recommend Eric! As a pet sitter myself, it’s tough leaving your beloved animals with someone else, but Eric took wonderful care of our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”
About: I believe animals are more intelligent than humans, even if they chase their own tails. My dog, Maggie, was 14 when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Being a mom to that sweet dog was one of the greatest gifts of my life. College taught me a lot, but she taught me more. Love sure does wag. As a sitter, I knew I wanted to provide families with the same quality of care Maggie received throughout her life. For me, it isn't about the quantity of sitting, but the community building and connections fostered. Stories matter in finding the right fit. I've taken care of puppies, elders, and animals requiring meds. I've sat for extended periods of time as individuals traveled all over the world. I'm often found in the woods hiking and love if your pet likes to be active. If they don't, I'll also gladly share a couch and blanket with them. I know the struggle that comes with wanting to feel secure while away. Through the years, I have been determined to give owners peace of mind so they can enjoy their adventures. I do overnight stays, morning and evening care, and weekend mid-day. Extended periods (I've sat up to five weeks) is also part of my regular schedules. I treat homes as my own. I'm neat by nature and believe in respecting others spaces, rules, and routines. You'll hardly know I was there.
“Madeleine was great! She took care of our 2 dogs for 4 days and nights while we were at Lake Burton for a fishing tournament. She did an awesome job, and sent lots of pictures. I would highly recommend Madeleine and I hope to hire her again in the future.”
About: Hi my name is Passion! Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s apart of who I am. I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to the occasional rat or fish tank adventure. Growing up in a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) friends taught me compassion, responsibility, and how to read animals’ unique personalities and needs. I’ve volunteered at the Atlanta Humane Society for over 6 months, where I gained hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments in addition to Lifeline Animal Shelter. I also previously worked at PetSmart helping pet parents find everything from the right nutrition to the perfect toy. To top it all off, my mom owns a dog grooming business as well!—so professional pet care has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. We also previously owned and operated a dog-treat business where we were successful in getting shelving writhing boutique pet care retailers. Whether it’s a long walk (I think I may love getting my steps in even more than our friends with four legs haha), a cuddle session, or reliable overnight care, your pets will be in safe, loving, and experienced hands with me. I treat every pet like family—and I mean that furrrreal! Bonus: My partner is a Veterinary Technician! I work a hybrid work schedule so I am grateful for the privilege of flexibility and tailoring my schedule around any personal needs or additional assistance that I provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home in a calm, quiet environmentally, I’m able to provide constant supervision and personalized care throughout the day. I carefully monitor each pet’s behavior, ensure they have a secure and stress-free space, and tailor their routine to their unique needs. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medication, or keeping walks controlled and safe, I make sure every detail is handled with attention and love.

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 Dahlonega 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 Dahlonega 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.
Tip: 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 Dahlonega 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
