“She was absolutely wonderful. She took time and patience with my dog. She fed him and walked him took pictures. Kept me alert on everything I couldn’t have asked for a better, Dog Sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for fur babies (cats and dogs) since I was a teenager so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My own pup is 20 years old and has been part of my family since childhood. As her mom, I manage her special diet for pancreatitis, apply eye ointment, and give her arthritis medications on a consistent schedule. It requires a lot of responsibility but seeing her quality of life improve with the right care makes it worth it. Caring for her has taught me to be patient, detailed, attentive, and mindful of each pet’s needs. I’ll bring that same care and love to your babies, following their routines and your instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I am currently a grad student so my mornings are usually busy however I still have plenty of time to watch your fur babies throughout the week or anytime on weekends. I have more specific details on my schedule below! Monday & Wednesday: 3pm - 10pm Tuesday & Thursday: 5pm - 10pm Fri, Sat & Sunday: 8am - 10pm I take the time to learn about each pet’s routine, personality, and care needs so I can help them feel safe and comfortable! My experience caring for my senior dog and other pets I have watched has taught me how important consistency and attention to detail are. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure and use a leash for walks. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and keep things clean and tidy. I’ll also send photos and updates so you can stay connected, and contact you promptly if I notice any concerns.
“Summer is amazing! She took fabulous care of our three dogs (and our house) while we were out of town. She sent tons of pictures and was very communicative, and all of our pets were happy and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Summer to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“So glad we found Stacy. Stacy stayed with our two boys for a long weekend and everything was wonderful. Boys were happy, well loved and cared for. We've already booked her for our next trip and will plan on even more! Thanks Stacy.”
“Amirah exceeded all expectations as my dog sitter! Her genuine love for animals was evident in the way she cared for my furry companions. Amirah's attention to detail, timely updates, and the extra effort she put into ensuring my dogs felt at home were truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Amirah to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter. She loved my dogs like they were her own.”
About: I’m happy to watch any and all pets! Grew up with both a cat and dog and I’m able to watch your pets during the work day if need be! I’m able to work remote during the work week and have been having a blast watching my godparent’s new puppy! During the weekend I tend to work 7-3pm at a coffee shop but have free evenings outside of that. Whatever safety measures / protocols you have for your pet id be happy to follow as needed. As long as the requirements are clear then I’m good to go!
“Michael was great! He came to our home and took great care of Delilah, our shy little girl. He won her over in no time. He gave us daily updates and pictures. I would recommend Michael 100%! Thanks Michael.”
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities since childhood. Dedicated to providing loving, attentive, and personalized care you can trust.

“This was the day we were supposed to leave and Dominique made arrangements to come meet the pets. They were available to housesit and take great care of our pets. Will definitely be using them again!”
About: Throughout middle & high school, I have volunteered at my local animal shelter and I loved walking and feeding the dogs! While I’ve only ever had cats, I have pet-sitted dogs for my friends and family on overnights and gone on many walks. I’m currently a full-time grad student but with a fixed class schedule. I am currently fully available on weekends and most evenings on weekdays. I do not offer boarding in my apartment as it is against my building policy, but as for pet-sitting in your home, I am always very respectful and communicative.
About: Animals are an absolute passion for me. With my compassionate and caring nature, and familiarity with the basic needs of animals. I have the ability to care for your pet perfectly. I have been fervent about animals since I was a mere child and this love for animals has grown over the years. I have owned two cats and one dog – all are extremely well taken care of. Therefore, I am able to provide the same amount of love and care for your dog as I do it for my own pets. My comprehension of the needs of pets, especially those of dogs, is outstanding – from feeding them food with the right nutrients to walking them, I know it all. Moreover, I possess knowledge of vaccination schedules, therefore, would be able to effectively manage the appointments with the vet. I currently run my own small business and I enjoy taking care of to pets on my spare time in my own or walking pets in my spare time at pet shelters. I have a nice dog park near my home that I enjoy taking my dog to. I only have one dog , he’s 11 and a very chill guy. it’s a very chill environment. I do not plan to bring my dog to clients home.
“Very communicative, flexible, left house in perfect order. Pup seemed happy. They took him on walks with their own dog which I know he loved. Sent pics daily. Felt at ease going out of town. Really appreciate you guys.”
“Bennett was phenomenal. We have 3 kittens and needed someone to stay over to watch them. Incredibly responsive, very communicative, and even more so thoughtful, we were impressed by Bennett. Very willing to send several photos a day, tell you any updates as needed, and provide you the kind of peace of mind any pet owner wants to be able to enjoy their vacation without stressing over if their pets are okay.”
About: I have 7 years of experience caring for pets and have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and others. I also have my own dog, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy and dependable caring for your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, giving attention, and following each pet’s individual routine. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet like they are my own. I have a very open and flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, sitting, and boarding. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I live in an apartment with access to dog parks and plenty of opportunities for walks and playtime. I have one friendly dog and one cat, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and making sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Doraville
We enjoyed having Jordan housesit for us! She took great care of our pet and our home. She sent lots of updates throughout our trip. We enjoyed our time away knowing our little guy was in good hands. We would definitely have her housesit again. Thank you so much Jordan!
Sherri was great with Ballard. He is a bit hesitant around new people but she got him to warm up to her. She obviously loves dogs and is good with them. Spent the night at our house with him. Walked him and sent lots of pictures. Left the house immaculate! Will definitely use again.
What a gem! We are so lucky to have found Madison. She truly was such a gift. We are very picky with our dogs and treat them as our children, and she did as well. From lots of snuggles, to frequent pictures, she made it known how loved they were in our absence. In addition, even when things went wrong, such as them having an accident, she was cool and collected, and took care of things. The house was immaculate when we returned. We will definitely be using Madison again!

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 Doraville 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 Doraville 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 Doraville 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.
