“We had such a great experience with Kellie! She was amazing with our two dogs and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly responsive, sent pictures at every visit, and always gave us great updates on how the dogs were doing. She was so kind, dependable, and clearly cared about them. We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her!”
About: I've cared for dogs since I was ten years old. I've cared for puppies and senior dogs, and I have far too much experience with elderly dogs near the end of their lives. I love them all more than words, and it's a dream to get paid to play with new dogs! My first responsibility is as a dad (of human children), so I'm available for dogs from the minute the kids leave in the morning until the minute they walk in the door in the afternoon. I have wilderness emergency medical training, and carry basic dog supplies even on short walks around my own block. I treat dogs with the utmost love and care, and only want them to live good and happy lives.
About: Animals have been the touchstone of my life. I grew up taking care of animals and I prioritize each pet’s needs. I understand that each pet is different and will provide excellent care to your pets as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs at all life stages, and can administer medications confidently. Whether your dog loves to snuggle, play with toys, run around outside, or keep their distance, I can meet them where they’re at with patience and respect. I will provide photo and text updates for you, follow care instructions precisely, and be available for any questions you may have. The times listed are when I’m not working and fully available to take care of your pets! For drop in visits, I make sure I can spend at least an hour at your home and won’t be rushed. At my home, your pet will be with my two dogs and two cats, all of whom are friendly. There are plenty of dog beds, toys, and places to get cozy. We have a large, unfenced backyard, where your pup can play, supervised by me. We often let the dogs out at night leashed to ensure they stay close. I love to take the dogs for walks at the lake nearby or rail trail. I will be home with them all day.
About: I have had several wonderful experiences caring, walking and looking after dogs. I have several family members as well as family friends with furry friends that they have let me walk and look after while they are away. I love to play and sit in the yard as well as cuddle up spend time with my animals when we're not going for a walk. I don't have any dogs but I do have two lovely indoor cats at home which I make sure have their every need taken care. I do the same with any animals I am taking care of at the time because I know how important these dogs are to me and to the family that they are apart of! If treats or fun playful activities such as fetch are apart of these dog's lives then I love to partake as well! I work part time which leaves plenty of time to look after your pets! I take care of my kitties whenever I am home and leave plenty of toys for them to play with when I’m not home. I can walk and visit dogs and cats at your home or take in a cat at mine. I do have two cats of my own living with me.
“Beth was awesome! She was very proactive in asking questions and communicating. Our dogs warmed up to her quickly. She was thoughtful about following instructions, being on time, and really put my mind at ease. We will definitely connect with Beth again when we need care for our pups!”
“Christina took wonderful care of my kitties - Lucy, Fox and Billie. From the initial contact and through the duration of my trip, her communication was excellent, visits were prompt, photos were very nice to see and she kindly did everything the way I like it to be done. She is professional, reliable and caring. I highly recommend Christina as a sitter.”
“First time using Rover and I’m glad we went in this direction. Keri was a great local find and was patient with our request to come out to meet our two dogs prior to us being out of town. She provide notifications upon arrival and departure and sent us pictures each day. Thank you so much Keri, we’ll definitely call you in the coming weeks for our next trip.”
About: I have always had such a love of dogs and they bring me so much joy. I’ve worked with senior dogs with extra care requirements as well as puppies that may need some extra care and attention as well. I was working part time in a restaurant but it is now closed and I work one day a week there currently try. I spend a lot of my time dog sitting around the county. I stay at your house as needed but if your dogs enjoy others, I’d be happy to have your babies at my house as I have two happy loving dogs of my own that love meeting and playing with new friends! I have a fenced in yard and many cozy beds and couches for times of rest. Your dogs will be taken care of the way you want and will be very loved! Typically my clients have routines that I stick to so your animal feels safe and comfortable while you’re away.
About: I grew up with 2 dogs and 2 cats. My family was part of helping a farm when i was little, I got to take care of ducks. They were so cute. I love animals and let me know if you had questions. I work at Marshall’s. I will be taking care of the animals during my days off. I will make sure they have everything they need I grew up with cats and dogs. I love all kinds of animals. I will take good care of them. I can bring them to my house as well.
“Chelsea took excellent care of my kitties! I was very happy with her in all aspects. She sent me a report card daily with photos, my skittish darlings came to her each day which they rarely do with anyone but me, she was extemely pleasant and courteous, etc. I could go on and on with rave reviews about her! I currently have no travel plans in the forseeable future, but I will certainly contact Chelsea for sure. Thank you!”
About: I’ve always taken care of pets and volunteered at local shelters. Your doggies will have the option of treats, dog walks, dog park trips, bark toys, and the option to socialize with other dogs if that is an option! What’s different with me is every dog that stays here with me and comes home with a brand new BARK BOX toy if the parent allows ! I’m currently a stay at home dad so this works perfectly with my schedule! With my wife working full time, this makes a household that much more at home! All of my dogs are trained and with the huge yard in our back yard it provides the perfect area for exercise and potty time! We also have a dog park right down the street!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dalton
Alyson was great with communication and (luckily) able to accommodate our last minute booking, coming next day for a meet and greet. I instantly felt comfortable with her, it was obvious that she loves animals, and I had no worries that the animals would be well taken care of while we were away. Came back to happy creatures and I am sending another booking request shortly! Thanks Alyson!
We had such a great experience with Kellie! She was amazing with our two dogs and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly responsive, sent pictures at every visit, and always gave us great updates on how the dogs were doing. She was so kind, dependable, and clearly cared about them. We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her!
Not only did Alyson come drop in and walk/hang out with our cavapoo Lily for an hour for the first time, but she was kind enough to come to our house the day before so we could meet each other. Above and beyond really. She was so timely and competent, sent me some photos and it is obviously that she loves animals. Grateful.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dalton is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 577 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dalton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dalton. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
