“I reached out to Sean based off a positive recommendation and am so glad I did! Sean is an animal lover through and through and understands what it’s like being away from fur babies. He kept me updated with pictures and videos and loved on all my kitties for me! Highly recommend!”

We appreciated receiving all the regular updates with lots of pictures, and quick communication. It was clear our pet was in good hands with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with again with Samantha and highly recommend her to anyone in the area!”
About: I always had dogs growing up and I would often puppy sit for friends. I recently lost my twelve year old pitty, Bella. I would love an opportunity to hang with furry friends. I work full-time, typical Monday - Friday from 9-5 and some Saturdays in Decatur. I am available in the evenings and some overnights during the weekend.

We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time.

Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, and over the years I’ve developed a genuine love and appreciation for how much joy, comfort, and unconditional love they bring into our lives. My dog Charlie had the biggest impact on me. His love was completely unconditional, and he taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of him, I believe every dog deserves to feel that same unconditional love, patience, safety, and kindness. When caring for your pet, I want them to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for just like they would at home. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship and cuddles. Your pet is more than just a pet—they’re family. I’d be honored to give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐶❤️ My Availability 🐾 I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily in the evenings. I’m generally available after 5 PM for evening walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and boarding. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I provide care in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m responsible, attentive, and always aware of my surroundings when caring for pets. During walks and outings, I pay close attention to traffic, other animals, and anything that could potentially put your pet at risk. I also understand that I’m being trusted with both your beloved pet and your home. I treat every home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine, and I’m mindful about keeping doors, gates, and other entry points secure. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away. ❤️
“Caroline was awesome with taking care of our 11 year old cat while we were away!! She was very responsive before and during my trip, and care was easy to set up. This was my first time using Rover and trusting someone other than a friend to help out with my cat while away. She made me feel so at ease and provided thorough updates and pictures during my trip. I really appreciate how Caroline spent time sitting with my cat as he is very cuddly and I was worried to leave him for days. She even cleaned up his hairballs! I absolutely would book with Caroline again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with everything from energetic pets who need a good walk to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I also have plenty of experience with large breeds—I trained and raised our 120-pound Bloodhound, who was part of our family for 12 years, so big dogs definitely don’t intimidate me! I’m comfortable with basic training reinforcement, different temperaments, and adapting to each pet’s individual routine. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home and familiar surroundings while getting plenty of attention, exercise, and care. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am primarily available for drop-in visits and walks during school hours. My availability varies slightly from week to week, but I’m usually able to accommodate a few appointments throughout the week and have some limited evening availability as well. I keep my Rover schedule updated and am happy to work with you to find times that fit both your pet’s routine and my availability. I’ll care for your pets in their own home with the same respect and attention I’d expect for my own. I’m careful to follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, litter care, and any house rules. I’ll respect your home and privacy, make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that both your pets and your home are being well cared for.
About: Pet lover and Corgi mom who understands how important routine, attention, and love are. I’m home all day and treat every pet like my own. I currently work from home, which allows me to be flexible and fully available for pet care, including regular walks, potty breaks, and personalized attention. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor time, plus plenty of nearby walking paths and sidewalks for long walks and exercise. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they get lots of attention and care.
“Hayley was amazing in accommodating our last-minute request for a drop-in visit for Coco. It’s such a relief knowing we can count on her when we have to be out during the day. Her reliability and care mean so much to us, and Coco always seems happy after her visits. Highly recommend Hayley to anyone!”
“Kelly is amazing - she is easy to work with, trustworthy, responsible, and our Shisa loves her drop-ins and walks with Kelly. We are so lucky to have found Kelly as our regular dog sitter/walker!!”
“Veronica was great! Our three kitties were well taken care of. Everything was done as we had asked and then some. We’ve been putting off going away where we would be gone for more than a day for a long time now. Because we didn’t think we could trust anyone with our kitties. But now at least we trust one person, Veronica. So thanks Veronica!”
About: I’ve always had multiple dogs growing up and once I got out of grad school, I decided to get a dog to call my own. But I tell everyone that she found me, not the other way around :) From walks, to dog parks, to hikes, and many more, I enjoy spending time with dogs and seeing them happily play with their friends (both new and old). I have experience caring for dogs who are sick or who may have some anxiety. With that, I’m big on taking photos of pets, so you’ll constantly receive updates from me. I work from home full time and am able to take fur friends out on walks throughout the day. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and there’s always a new dog on the block to make friends with. I recently lost my fur baby of 11 years. I work from home full time so I’m able to care for your pup depending on their needs and how often they need to walk/be outdoors. I still have three beds to choose from so your pup will also be able to choose from that selection.
“Lee was amazing, I ran into a bind and it was last minute and she was available and willing to take care of my 10 chickens while I was on vacation. I always knew when she was at the house because she would check in and I would get a message telling me that she was there. She showed up every day and would sent me pictures of how the chickens were doing and that the food and water was full. I would definitely recommend her and would use here services again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. My family dog, Buddy, is 12 years old, and we’ve had him since I was in 7th grade. Even after moving out, I still help care for him by taking him on his midday walks and spending time with him whenever I can. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I also understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet isn’t always easy. If I were hiring someone to care for Buddy, I’d want someone who is dependable, respectful, and keeps me updated every step of the way—and that’s exactly the kind of sitter I strive to be. I’m very communicative, flexible, and reliable. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and send plenty of updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and having a great time. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. Since I’m home most days, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home where they’re most relaxed. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.
About: As a professional hypnotherapist specializing in emotional trauma, I bring a calm, empathetic presence to pet care. Combined with my nannying background and experience raising three dogs from puppy (2 Bullterriers & 1 Staffordshire mix) and currently caring for my recently adopted 1.5 year old female doberman, I create a balanced environment perfect for soothing anxious pets, and caring for dogs of all ages I am currently building my business and have plenty of flexible home office time, so there is lots of time and opportunity to go for walks and play time. Our home is roomy & secure and I can fit a small to medium crate if needed. We have lots of walkways and I love to go take dog for beach walks or easy hikes when I can

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Shafter
Cora was absolutely fantastic with my cat! She made her food a special way that stopped her from throwing up, which was a common problem with my cat. She sent detailed updates on my cat was doing and daily pictures. She even cleaned up my place on her final visit.
Karina was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my cat, and my cat seemed to love her too. I felt completely comfortable knowing she was checking in and giving her some love and attention. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future. Highly recommend! ❤️
We couldn’t have been happier with the care Haily provided to our dog. It was clear that our dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for while we were away. Haily was dependable, caring, and great at communicating with us. She gave us complete peace of mind, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
We were a little nervous since this was our first time using Rover, but Samantha made the entire experience so easy. We appreciated receiving all the regular updates with lots of pictures, and quick communication. It was clear our pet was in good hands with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with again with Samantha and highly recommend her to anyone in the area!
Very grateful and appreciative of Chloe’s help with dropping by daily to check in on my dog while I was away on a last-minute vacation for over a week! She provided daily updates with pictures and is professional, courteous and kind. My neighbors also happened to meet her when she visited and said the same. She was a pleasure and easy-going to work with! Would recommend again.
Kristina has helped take care of my senior cat twice and has been great both times! She was available even on short notice the second time. I have a hard time leaving my cat and worry a lot, but Kristina’s photos and updates during each visit make me feel much better. Very communicative throughout as well. I know my kitty is in good hands as her knowledge and care for animals is evident - she was even able to administer my cat’s medications while we were gone. I am so happy to have found someone I can trust and would recommend Kristina to anyone looking for care!
Tamah went above and beyond for our cats. One of our pets was put on emergency antibiotics days before our trip was scheduled. Tamah did an amazing job making sure she was given her medicine daily and sent us lots of updates. I would absolutely have her back! 10/10!

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.

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
