“Lauren did an EXCELLENT job with our pit. We would highly recommend her services to anyone. She took pics of each visit, arrived on time for 7 consecutive days. Great communication skills. 5 Stars from us!”
“Margo was quick to respond and very professional. She met with me and my pups to go through their routine within an hour of responding to my request. She did very well with the pups, too. 🙂”
“Megan was so caring to my cats, Kit and Rip! This was a last minute request that she honored so we didn’t have a meet and greet beforehand but she did great. Kit and Rip loved having her!”
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, and other animals for 15 years. Neighbors, friends and family have chosen me to make sure their peta are well taken care of while they are away. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppies! I usually off on weekends so I'm free to check animals in the morning and walk them in the evening as well as house sit as needed. Currently we have an indoor cat that we keep safe inside. House can keep a small dog but do not currently have a yard. Animals very welcome
“Kristin went incredibly above and beyond as a sitter. My kitty Junebug was exhibiting signs of coughing and labored breathing, and she shared videos of him and made extra trips to keep watch on him. As his symptoms worsened she dropped everything to take him to the vet, and at their urging she took him to the ER, asking for no extra compensation. A truly selfless and loving sitter that is deeply committed to care for animals and communication with owners. Cannot recommend enough!”
“From the moment we met Kelly, all of our worries about leaving our kitty alone went away. You can immediately tell she is a warm and caring person who loves animals. Her communication was perfect and she always sent lots of photos of her visits. The photos would show her on the ground playing with our kitty. It made my heart melt. I knew she was being so taken care of and loved. I would recommend Kelly again and again. Thank you Kelly!!! You helped me be ok about the next time we go out of town. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“So far my experience has been that Pilgrim, my spoiled 16 yr old with kidney problems, is in safe and trystworthy hands with Emilee. She follows instructions confidently, writes wonderful feedback about her visit, and takes great pictures for Pilgrim's Rover card. I feel very very lucky that Emilee lives close by and is my catsitter of choice! She is a thoughtful, mature, cheery young lady. Thanks!!!”
“Skylar did a fantastic job at taking care of my two cats (my babies). It was the first time being left alone. They warmed up to her nicely. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs and enjoy playing with and caring for neighbors’ and friends’ dogs as needed. I don’t own a dog at present but that’s only because a couple of our cats are really particular :) I’m flexible most of the time and willing to prioritize the care of your pet and would enjoy the chance to befriend your dog or cat. I am often called a pet whisperer and am happy to spend whatever time necessary to build trust with your furry friends so that I can provide the care they need in your absence.
“Hailee was great and our cat absolutely loved having them around! We would happily book again. Hailee provided prompt messaging, plenty of updates with photos, and above all, was able to keep the little guy happy.”
About: I provide dependable, personalized dog walking and drop-in care for pet parents who want to know their animals are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re away. Whether your dog needs an engaging walk, a calm potty break, companionship, playtime, or a little extra patience, I’ll tailor each visit to their needs. I take the time to follow your instructions carefully and help your pet feel secure in their familiar environment. I have a bachelor’s degree in biology and am Pet CPR/First Aid Certified and Fear Free Certified. I understand that every animal is different, and I believe in taking the time to understand what makes each one feel comfortable and secure. You can expect reliable communication, visit updates, and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind throughout the day. I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your pet and become someone you can confidently rely on for walks and drop-in visits. A little heads-up! My introductory rates will be available for services through October 31, 2026, with updated rates taking effect November 1. I’m currently available on weekdays and weekends, including early mornings. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate regular visits, walks, and drop-in care as needed. I care for your pets in their own homes, where they can remain comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I follow instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, playtime, medications, and any household routines. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I let them set the pace. Some pets want lots of affection and interaction, while others need patience, quiet companionship, and space to warm up. My goal is to provide calm, dependable, and personalized care while keeping you updated with photos and visit notes for peace of mind.
“Meridith was wonderful! My dog June can be a little shy at first but Meridith was so gentle and patient with June that she warmed up quickly! Meridith was very reliable and effective at communicating. I would definitely book her again to walk June.”
About: I cared for my staffy mix, Millie, for nine wonderful years, learning her needs, moods, and quirks along the way. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and loved — care I'm ready to bring to your dog. I am currently between jobs, but normally work from home. I am quite flexible in when I can provide pet care. Mornings, midday, or night care would be no issue. I have two cats myself, and keep a tidy home for them. I have a large, unfenced backyard, but has natural barriers that keep things very private.
“Sydney is amazing!!! Very responsive and caring, easy to communicate!! I called her last minute asking for help with my two pups. Luckily she was available and I am so very happy with the care she provided. She is an amazing caregiver.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family members have trusted me to feed, walk, and take care of their beloved pets. My own family consists of 4 dogs and a cat, which I frequently take care of for my parents or siblings. I would love to join your family’s list of reliable sitters to care for your pets well and offer them love! I am currently on summer vacation and my daily and weekly schedule is extremely flexible. I’d love to work with your family to find what routine works best for you! I want to give your pets the love, care, and attention they need! Every pet is different, and I’d love to take the time to learn your families’ routines in order to understand how to care for your pets well. I love spending quality time with pets, taking them on walks, sitting outside with them, and giving them lots of affection!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Oglethorpe
Cortney was perfect in her care for my fur baby. Being able to have two visits for my little Katya set my mind at ease as it was a longer trip than I would have normally taken. Katya got quality play time in, pets and snuggled, and fed the appropriate amount of food each day. Water and litter box were perfectly maintained. I am so happy I found Cortney and I will absolutely retain her pet sitting services in the future! Thank you, Cortney!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Oglethorpe is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 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 839 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Oglethorpe. 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
