About: I got my start in dog care when my peers would trust me to watch or walk their furry friends while they went on trips. I have always had a facisnation with pups although I have yet to take care of my own. Currently, I am in the process of job hunting therefore I am working from home while creating my own hours. I am able to give pups a few hours of uninterrupted attention if they require it or allows them to lounge if they are more independent. I live in a building that allows dog in Midtown ATL. They will be able to get walks around the city at least twice a day (this can be adjusted per owner's request) as well meet another furry friend on the elevator. I am strict to whatever guidelines an owner has regarding feeding and never miss a time or do anything extra.

About: I work at a pet store, have pets of my own, and volunteer at shelters, giving me experience with all types of animals. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, and special needs pets, and I treat every animal with the same love and care as my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Between my job at the pet store, caring for my own pets, and volunteering at shelters, I’m consistently involved with animals. I’m flexible on evenings and weekends, and I can adjust my schedule to make sure your pet gets the attention and care they need. I prioritize safety and comfort whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment, free of hazards and full of love. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect their space and ensure pets feel secure by keeping their routine consistent. I always keep a close eye on behavior and health, and I’m confident handling a variety of situations calmly and responsibly.

About: I always grew up with animals and went into college studying pre-veterinary medicine. I worked closely with veterinarian at an animal hospital gaining experience and knowledge on how to care for animals. My daily routine is organized and dependable, allowing me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I make sure they stay on their normal schedule with feeding, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space for animals to run around in. And a good trunk space and seat accommodations for car rides.

About: I grew up on a farm and have been working with animals since I can remember. I have had dogs my whole life and am currently working on task training with my service dog. I have also worked with cats and horses. I often have a lot of free time during weekdays and weekends. I am working on getting canine and equine massage therapy certifications and I need time work and bond with my service dog so I will not be available 100% of the time. My home has a lot of land including a fenced in backyard that our three dogs love! That being said, any potential pets staying in my home must be friendly around other dogs. In my clients home I will do everything to my ability to maintain a safe environment for their pets.

About: I've always had at least one dog and one cat at all times. I currently have 2 dogs right now. I have experienced in giving pill and liquid meds to dogs. My one dog would always have to be given meds with something while my other one too with ease. I've had to help wrap my sister's dogs legs with her and by myself. My personal dog currently are a 1 year old 70 lbs lab mix (male) and a 95 lbs mastiff mix (male). My sister's dog is a 50 lbs boxer mix (female). My first dog was a 95 lbs rhodesian ridge back who died of sickness at age 13. And my second dog was a 95 lbs staffordshire terrier great dane mix who passed from cancer at age 9. And I've worked with dogs at under one but over 7 months. And I've worked with seniors. Nothing grosses me out in the sense of bodily fluids I can do all the normal. I currently have no job I'm a full time college student with some extra time on my hands. I'm looking to be able to help others and maybe have some fun with some pets. I can easily crate you dog or take them on a long walk. If your animal need meds as long as I know of them I can give it to them easily (ex. liquid or pill) unless I don't know how to ( ex. shots) then I will ask if you'd like to. If they need meds or food to be given a specific way like peanut butter with the pill or has a release command to get food. I'm willing to walk through the whole house as long as doors are unlocked and check for if they made a mess either vomit or poop or pee and pick it up. Blood does not gross me out and I'm willing to do anything for their safety.

“I'm so happy to have found Gina through Rover. I was referred to Rover by a doggy daycare and boarding company for my little Charlie. This was the first time I'd left him other than with a family member.. As soon as I'd contacted Gina, she offered to come right away to meet me and Charlie. I needed someone to check on him and take him out the next day while I had to be away from home. He does not do well crated and has separation anxiety. Gina was perfect for him. She made two visits during the extended day, sending me pictures and being sure his needs were met. When I returned home, I found a series of sticky notes about their experience. We've spoken by phone as well. I will use the services of Rover again and will ask Gina to help me with Charlie again.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was a baby. When I got to middle school my friend asked to watch her dogs while her family was out of town and I agreed. While Covid was still around I would do virtual school and take care of our dogs while my parents worked. I am hoping to do this part time while I am home from college (Between Middle of May and Early August). I am available any time during the day. I can feed the dogs or medicine if needed, fill the water bowls, take them outside (a fenced yard is preferred please or trained), I am willing to walk dogs to get any energy out.

About: I grew up on a farm in Maryland and were around animals daily! My business is financially affordable and will give you peace of mind that your pet or pets will be taken care of when you are not at home. I’am not working anywhere else at this time and have the time to love and care for customer’s pets. I will follow all my customers instructions to ensure their pets safety and general well being. Sorry I don’t watch pets in my home. I feel your pets are more comfortable in their own homes. Pets feel more relaxed in their own environment.

About: Active Dog Loving Grandparents We enjoyed the pleasure of having pets our entire lives, they have brought us a sense of peace and joy and best of all unconditional love. Our best friends have been Boston Terrier’s, German Sheppard’s, American Bulldogs and Boxers. They are all unique in their personalities but all love to be loved, just like us. We are retired so one of us are at home all the time. We live on a great fence property with an awesome nieghborhood that we love to take walks around multiple times a day (weather permitting.) The dogs usually have a grand time taking a run around the property and playing. Should it be too warm of course they enjoy the air conditioning ? Now that our children are grown and married with children/dogs we occasionally keep their Boxer brother (Duke) and sister (Honey) and our grandchildren too. You can feel safe leaving your pets in our care. We will look after them and love them like our own! In fact, they may not want to leave as our grand-dogs do? Can provide a bath prior to your return if you would like. Look forward to meeting you and your baby soon. Grandma J

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Dover Air Force Base

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
