LeeAnna was a Godsend for our family as we just moved to the area 8 days before our scheduled vacation. She was quick to respond to our request. She came over to meet us and our pups before our vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of our pups, and sent pictures and updates at each drop in visit. Her sweet boys also came along to love on our pups which was great since they are used to having our kids around. She even brought our trash out and checked our mail for us. Knowing that LeeAnna was checking in twice a day gave us so much peace of mind. She even gave us weather updates and went back to let our pups inside on stormy days. We cannot say enough about how wonderful LeeAnna was. We will definitely book with her again for future vacations!!

About: I’ve been loving and caring for dogs since I was young, and am currently raising my own three: Jax, Chihiro, & Delta. I’m also experienced with cats through informal care of outdoor/community cats. I’m known to be attentive & reliable, and I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and daily routines. I’m currently working full-time, (9-4:30 Mon-Fri), but I have availability from 6-8:30am & 5-11:30pm Mon-Fri, and 5am-11:30pm on the weekends. I listen to every pet parent, noting down important information that’ll help me provide the best care to their pets. I ensure that the environment is clean and safe to roam, food is provided correctly, and that the pet is given enough love and attention.

Samantha was phenomenal! I couldn’t have asked for someone better to help me with my Ozzie boy. She asked permission to bring her kids and they were great with my boy and got all of his puppy energy out. One thing I loved was that she sent me pictures and videos of my boy while she was with him. She also left me with a selection of treats for him, which I thought was super sweet I will definitely be using her in the future.

About: Im doing this full time. Im also doing this because I love and care for animals and their wellbeing. I believe finding someone good and kind for your fur babies matters. I make sure they get plenty of pets and attention. I don’t let their water run out and refill as much as possible especially during summer. I am understanding and patient with animals especially if they have high energy and need to be outside a bit more than others to get some exercise/ energy out. I care about animals period. I have a pretty big range of experience with different dogs. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at a time different sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of a diabetic cat (my baby she lived a very long life 19 years) I have taken care of a diabetic dog also. I got a puppy 8-weeks who is now 5 years old which he is a husky so very energetic and talkative. Taken care of giving elderly dogs medicine. I communicate pretty well. I also make taking care of your fur babies a priority. Thank you for choosing me! I can house sit and stay overnights if needed. I will make taking care of your fur babies a priority and treat them as if their were mine. (I have a husky) If you do a drop in visit I will be there longer than just 30 minutes. I don’t like to leave my baby for more than 4-5 hours max. That’s why I offer going to drop in 3 times. I can always adjust the price accordingly. I don’t mind traveling to make sure your fur baby is taken care of throughout the day. I can take your fur baby walking giving them water and some love. If you have a fenced in yard I will still go and watch them outside you never know what could happen. I will update you as much as you would like.

About: I’ve worked at a vet office with cats and dogs, pet sat for the same lady for 15+ years, 2-3 times per year. I own cats, dogs and a bearded dragon. Used to own chickens, goats and pigs. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom, so I can fit your baby in wherever needed whether it’s dropping in once per day to ensure your cat has food and water, to going 3 times per day to let your dog(s) out. I have a fenced in yard, 2 friendly dogs and 3 cats that don’t have an issue with dogs. Water is kept down at all times of day and we have a kennel for quiet time.

About: Farm raised will love and care for any of your fur babies. Slow walks and lots of cuddles makes me the perfect sitter for your fur family. I am a mother of five girls that all have flown the coup, and looking to find exercise and little extra money. I love animals being raised on a farm. I take integrity and trust as a quality I strongly hold. I am trustworthy and hold professionalism to the highest level. I keep myself and my animals safe and happy.

About: I have taken care of animals since the age of 12. I have experience with a wide range of pets including ,but not limited to cats, horses, small dogs ranging from chihuahua, Yorkie, and pomeranian. To larger dogs like German shepherds, Rottweiler, pitbulls, and great Pyrenees hurding dogs. I also have a history of equestrian work with horses so it's made it easier to handle larger dogs. All pets deserve to be pampered and treated like family. Every time no excuse. I am a stay at home mom so I have no schedule to work around. I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How each pet is treated will heavily depend on the owners wants and the pets needs. I will do my absolute best to keep any discussed expectations met. And I will always make sure I do what I can to help the pet have fun and be safe and comfortable. And for house sitting my goals are to meet all expectations discussed before hand and make someone's life just a bit easier .

About: we have taken care of pets since childhood :) we have lots of experience with pets from A-to-Z and we provide photo and videos, along with additional detailed text updates. We treat others as family, we love to spoil others, and we also provide training if needed with positive reinforcement. We also not only provide pet sitting but plant sitting as well, we are huge into gardening and we can give lots of care information and advice on any plant that you have/want. We’re always here and are happy to help, we always respond fast especially when you need us, and we love to serve others because we love making people happy <3 We both have full time availability, so we are able to provide every single service available including leash training, pet training, plant sitting, housekeeping, etc. Our dream is to be able to care for every single pet that is in need even the ones that don’t have any homes, and to be able to hang out with pups and kitties all day long and give them all of the love that they deserve :) We care for pets in our home and both our client’s home by always putting their needs first, we always stick to routines (if they have one), and we even like to take them to doggy parks, buy them toys, buy them treats, teach them new tricks, or even play with them/go on longer walks as well :)

About: WARNING- I send soooooo many pic and video updates to pet parents. If you don’t like for constant updates I may not be the sitter for you. I am a huge dog person, my aunt is a veterinary technician, and since I was a child, I went to work with her every weekend to assist her with cleaning the kennels, sitting with the dogs the veterinary clinic owned. Observing the animals behavior. I’ve owned a dog since I was five years old. Dogs have ALWAYS been a passion of mine. Anytime I see one out and about, I always ask if I can pet it or Love on it. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier named Kira Bella, I’ve owned her for four years. She is an ex show dog. She’s my child. I treat her no differently than a human would treat their own child. So I know the importance of finding the right person to care for your dog or cat. I am very picky about who watches my girl so I understand, just know that your fur baby is in good hands with me and I will treat them like they are my own fur baby. I have several clients that have booked with me that loved the service I’ve provided for them. I do require a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we are compatible, if we vibe well together then I will book you in right away! I own my own business so I make my own hours, I’ll have plenty of time to care for your babies as my work is very flexible. I will treat your fur baby like they are my own, if they are allowed on the furniture, I will cuddle with them. If they need to be crated , I have no problem crating them. If they need medication I have no problem giving it to your baby. I was raised with an aunt that is a veterinary technician so I spent a lot of time at the vet clinic with her learning how to handle animals and give them medication.

About: I've frequently house- and pet-sat for family friends and their three dogs. I love taking care of your animals as if they were my own! Also, I love taking and sending photos, so you will feel confident that your furry friend is happy and healthy! I have experience fostering dogs and cats of all ages and administering medication when needed. I am a teacher, so I currently have all weekdays free this summer. I'm a new teacher, so I currently have free time on weekdays and weekends. I'm in school for teaching, so if I'm house-sitting, I may need to step out for about 2 hours for school, but otherwise I'll be with your pet. I dedicate as much time as possible to your pet to ensure they are comfortable and well cared for. I am flexible and will adjust to meet your needs! During the school year, I can come in the afternoons, holidays, and weekends. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I will follow your rules or steps so you can feel confident that they are getting what they need. I’ll send many pictures so you can see your fur baby!

About: Hi! My name is Jessica, and I am a proud dog mama with a lifelong love for animals. I have been caring for dogs and cats for more than 20 years and understand that our pets are much more than animals—they are cherished members of the family. When you’re away, my goal is to provide the same love, attention, patience, and care that I would want for my own pets. Over the years, I have cared for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My experience includes daily walks, feeding schedules, administering medications, overnight and extended house sitting, senior pet care, puppy care, and supporting pets that experience anxiety, separation stress, or need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime and belly rubs, or simply relaxing with a familiar companion, I am committed to providing attentive, reliable care tailored to their needs. I know how important communication is for pet parents, so I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away. As someone who genuinely loves animals, I strive to create a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, well-cared-for pet who feels loved and secure. I would be honored to care for your furry family members and look forward to meeting both you and your pets! 🐾❤️ I work full-time as an attorney during the week, which means I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and following detailed instructions. I am available for morning and evening drop-in visits, walks, feedings, playtime, and medication administration before and after work on weekdays. I also have greater flexibility on weekends and most holidays, making me a great option for weekend getaways, holiday travel, and regular pet care needs. I strive to maintain your pet’s normal routine and will always provide timely updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Safety, comfort, and consistency are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, preferences, and any special instructions so they can remain comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens, senior pets, anxious pets, and animals that require medication or extra attention. My primary focus is providing care in your pet’s home, where they can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. Whether that includes walks, feeding, administering medication, playtime, litter box care, or simply providing companionship, I am committed to treating your pets with the same love and attention I would give my own. As an attorney, I understand the importance of trust, reliability, and attention to detail. You can count on me to follow instructions carefully, respect your home, and provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. If boarding in my home is needed, I can accommodate pets on a case-by-case basis. I have dogs of my own, so visiting pets would be safely separated to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. My goal is always to provide a secure, loving, and low-stress experience for both pets and their owners.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Fortson on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 603 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fortson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fortson stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Fortson 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!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Fortson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fortson. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
