“Courtney was fantastic! She took great care of my cats while I was away for the weekend. I appreciated the updates and photos, and I came home to happy, relaxed kitties. Would definitely book again!”
About: Hello! I’ve been dog walking and dog sitting for a few years and have many references. It’s of the upmost importance to make sure your fur babies will be taken care of when your away and that is my top priority. I’m a stay at home mom so I am able to do most mornings and most evenings weekly. Mondays and Wednesdays I have to bring my daughter to school but can come immediately after. Friday we have dance at 5 but after dance I can come straight to your home. Depending on whether you need walks for your pups or just feedings I can handle whatever your needs are. I have two cats and three dogs myself and it’s of upmost importance they get their food and outdoor time in each day which is what I will provide your fur babies with.
“Guadalupe is fantastic! Our very large pup loved her coming over and checking in on him while we're traveling. And our two very shy/skittish cats actually come out to say hello to her when she drops is. Highly recommend”
“Morgan is confident, reliable, and accountable. After making a small mistake, she identified what she could have done differently and shared plans for change. I feel my dogs are safe in her care.”
“Mylissa was very sweet, patient, and deft with our dog, even when the dog showed signs of aggression. She was very open to working with us on a care plan that works best for everyone, and we are grateful to her.”
“Ricky took great care of my cats and had now issues give my cat her medication twice a day. He sent me frequent updates and let me know they doing well. I’m very happy with him taking care of my cats and definitely recommend him to other pet parents.”
About: I have been trusted to take care of puppies and dogs for family, friends, and neighbors and am extremely attentive, energetic, and loving towards any and all animals I care for. I am currently finishing up my bachelors degree online and therefore have plenty of time to care for pets! I can work all hours, any day of the week! I adjust how I care for any animal based on their personal schedule and temperament. I am willing to listen to the pet parents to understand how to best care for their fur baby.
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!
“Lillian has watched our pup a couple times now and is amazing! She’s super reliable, communicative and always gives a detailed update with pictures. It’s so nice to finally have a go-to caregiver for Millie, and Lillian is definitely ours!”
About: Hey everyone! My name is Mark and I’m a total dog lover. I’ve had dogs my entire life and I started doing house sitting and dog walking when I was 16. I also worked at a feed and seed store, so I have some knowledge on animal nutrition. I work part time at a local sober living community and do some other work from home. Most of the time, I will be available. I will check in and send you at least 2 pictures of your fur baby everyday. When I’m at your place, I will follow every guideline and rule you give me. Your dog will remain the focal point of my attention.
About: I’ve lived my entire life around animals. I have a deep love and passion for them and aspire to grow a career working with animals. I take pride in my work ethic and promise your dog/cat will love me. I currently work 2 jobs that give me a very flexible schedule. I typically have time everyday for drop in visits. Can absolutely discuss schedule needs. I have 2 male cats named Roger, and Howard. I also have a dog named Bruno. All 3 of my boys are the loves of my life. Bruno has sensitive skin and need brushing a few times a week.
“Immediately upon meeting Avary, all 4 of our dogs were completely comfortable with her which speaks volumes. She was flexible and followed all directions for our pups. When she had a question, she asked instead of guessing. Avary gave our dogs love and checked in regularly. I was so nervous leaving them in the care of someone new but Avary did not disappoint. She showed that the wellbeing of our dogs were her top priority.”
“Has been absolutely great at slowly working with my undersocialized/shy rescue the past few weeks, always answers quickly, shows up on time, and is very available - definitely will be working with for future stays!”
About: I have always had a strong love for animals. I own animals of my own, and they are like children to me. I love meeting new animals and getting to know them. I am a very active person and playful. I have so much love to give out to all animals! I have had a lot of experience taking care of furry friends. I am a student in college, but I'm looking for easy ways to earn money. I thought I would put myself put there for others to know that I am here to help with animals, so I could have a fun, easy, and flexible job to help me make a better living for myself to get through school. I also have been volunteering at Pickens Animal Shelter for awhile now, so I have met numerous different types of furry friends. I am very patient and have experience with frighened, nervous, and even agressive animals that just need more compassion. I also have experience with taking care of livestock, including llamas! Unfortunately, I'm not able to have fun with furry friends 24/7, but I am still flexible and usually don't have issues working out schedules that are needed. For overnight booking, I definitely prepare to be there majority of the time. I love my let's very much and they are a good mix between inside and outside dogs. I pretty much give them free will to pick. They always sleep with me at night. I have lots of land to play on. In a client's home, I will follow any instructions or rules they ask. Otherwise, I try and do what is best for the pets and make them comfortable and I have no problem cuddling and sleeping with them too!
About: Hi! My name is Canyon, and I’m a recent college graduate working a hybrid corporate job, which gives me the flexibility to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I’ve always been an animal lover and have both a dog and a cat of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I work a full-time hybrid job, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I work remotely on Thursdays and Fridays, making me available for more frequent visits and flexible scheduling on those days. On Mondays through Wednesdays, I’m available after 6:00 PM for pet care. I’ll always communicate clearly, be punctual, and make sure your pets get the attention and care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dawsonville
Courtney was absolutely amazing with our two boys while we were away on vacation! She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. Even though our kitties didn’t need care because they have automatic litter boxes and feeders, Courtney still took the time to give them love and snuggles too. That thoughtful gesture meant so much to us and really showed how much she cares about all animals. We came home to two happy, relaxed pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Courtney was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable while we were gone. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for their pets. Thank you, Courtney!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dawsonville is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $36 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 October 2026, there are 2,215 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dawsonville. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dawsonville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 .
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.
