“I can’t say enough good things about Amy ! She was wonderful and took such good care of all of our animals. They did so well even our Great Pyrenees who can be a bit weary of people and doesn’t know. I highly recommend her and we will definitely be using her again !”
“Maddie was fantastic with my pets during this visit. I’m always nervous because Duke is 120 lbs and Daisy is a puppy, but she showed them so much love. I’m happy that they are able to stay at home, and I don’t have to worry. Will definitely book again!”

About: I've always had a love for animals especially dogs. I love being outside and taking dogs for walks while giving them the loving care that they deserve. I've had animals since I was a young child so I know what it takes to trust your pet in someone else's hand. I'm a very genuine and sincere person and pets have a good sense of judgement and always have liked me very much. I have a huge passion for physical activity, that would benefit your dog as we would play together. I'm an open book so any questions or concerns, feel free on asking me. Looking forward to meeting you! I am currently working from home for a company that allows for a lot of flexibility, so I have plenty of time for your furry friends! My weekends are always open as well. **I do not provide services of any kind in my own home. For dog walks: I will drive to your house and take your dog for a walk. I will always have training/reward treats on hand if needed. I will also keep water on hand for the dog to access during their walk. For drop in visits: I will drive to your house and spend quality time with your furry friend(s)! I will frequently check their water bowl and make sure it is filled. I will play with your dog inside and/or outside, with whatever toys they prefer. I will especially give your pup lots of love, and you peace of mind!
“Britt stayed at my house and watched my husky Saber for 4 nights. She did the best job communicating with me everyday and sending me pictures. I never once worried saber wasn't being taken care of. Britt was respectful of all my things and even went above and beyond with cleaning before she left. I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future! 10/10 recommend!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ ( We’d give 5,000 if we could!) This was our first time using Rover, and we were nervous because our 2-year-old mini schnauzer, Sophie, is truly part of our family. But Suzy was amazing. She stayed in our home, played with Sophie, snuggled her, and took her on walks in the snow and rain. It rained so much that she even bought Sophie a little rain hat and jacket! She also sent us tons of photos and regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Suzy truly went above and beyond. We’d book her again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her enough….Suzy is an absolute gem.”
About: When looking for a sitter, trusting and learning the human that cares for you is all that your pets know how to do. My skills include dog behavior techniques and relaxed mental discipline. Finding a pets strength and weakness takes time and it is prominent that the caretaker ensure proper, sustainable care for your babies. I have not worked with many animals but I assure that over time I will become a great friend to your furry best friend. My flexibility is fully open currently. Finding a full time position with your pet is very important. Growing and learning your furry friends is most important to me. My two dogs Lokey and Sky are usually independent when it comes to what they need and when it is needed. Potty breaks are usually every 2 to 4 hours, as well as outside play time. We usually stay out for 15 to 30 minutes. Walks are solely for my pets. I allow them to sniff, play and take breaks when needed. Evenings are usually the best times for a walk, it’s not too cool nor hot, it’s just right.

If I am in your home, I make sure to clean up and leave no mess, respect any rules, always take my shoes off.
“Yami was great! She took great care of my dachshunds while I was away on vacation. They had lots of attention! We opted for house sitting, she took great care of our home. She was super easy to work with and sent tons of updates. She was punctual… what else can I say? Great all around and we will consider her on our upcoming trip as well.”
About: I have been caring for my now senior dog since she was a puppy and I was a child. I trained friends and family’s dogs on basic things like sitting and potty training. I worked at a kennel last summer and worked in the play time section, so I’ve learned what to watch out for when a dog is feeling uncomfortable or about to act. I love walking and allowing dogs to explore, I also don’t mind cleaning up after them ! Since starting college at least one of my roommates has always had a cat. I am a cat lover and love kittens or seniors! I’m a full time art student and part time server. I enjoy having a busy schedule and am very flexible! I can help out for as little as a check in or for as long as an afternoon sometimes. I tend to be proximity oriented to avoid missing anything. I’ll stay around them even once we’re done playing as I’ve learn my accident lesson !

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 Dawsonville 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 Dawsonville 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 Dawsonville 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.
