About: College student with some pet care experience, especially with cats and dogs. Patient with shy pets, attentive to routines, and treats every animal like my own I go to school full time and work part time. I am free Fridays after 2pm, Saturday’s free all day, free Sunday after 3pm. Can travel easily, loves pets with all my heart, responsible, caring, eager to learn and try new things, friendly, dependable, and will always do my best.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I recently lost my dog who was almost 16 years old. So I am used to caring for elderly dogs as well and the challenges that come with it like medications, helping them with stairs, etc. I really enjoy spending quality time with the dogs and keeping them company. It’s currently off season for my job so my days are pretty free. I am really flexible from May to Sept. I will do my best to be able to accommodate with your needs. I live in a home with a big fenced in back yard. I do not have any other pets at home so there’s no need to worry your pet does not get along with others.
“LeeAnna did a great job! She was on time and took wonderful care of Prissy. It gave me comfort to see the twice daily photos and updates that she sent. I highly recommend LeeAnna and will book her again!”
“Maria was amazing. We found her last minute and we’re so happy we did. She’s newer to Rover but definitely has experience with animals. We thought she was so professional and sent the most amazing updates!”
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: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have never met one I did not adore. Many friends choose me to care for their loved ones when they are away. My schedule revolves around maintaining activity levels and better functional training for my pets and yours. Health and happiness make for longer life spans for our babies. I am a registered nurse with previous law enforcement experience, safety is something I am very big on and integrity is something I was raised on.
“Marianne was amazing and very accommodating for our last minute drop-ins request. Great communication and even brought extra treats over for when we ran out while we were gone. We could tell Knox loved her and felt comfortable with her - we will definitely rebook Marianne for future needs!”
“Lexi & Nitin we’re very sweet and thorough taking care of my small, older dog while I was away a few days. They were very easy to communicate with, and left thoughtful updates. Thank you! I will be using them again.”
About: I have had cats and dogs all my life that have and are living great long and fulfilling lives. I treat animals well with great care and respect and even had the opportunity to nurse a baby squirrel back to health I’m working part-time and will be visiting your little family member and be able to give them one on one attention give them walks feed them and an occasional treat and play. I understand what it’s like to have a hyper lazy or in between dog so I can handle any situation and treat them as I would my own with love care and respect. I like to set a very comfortable environment for an animal I’m working with to get them to understand that I’m a friend and someone who is here to care so I like to set those boundaries and understanding of what makes them comfortable and listen to their body language. I like to build trust in my relationships with positive enforcement and trust.
“Amanda did a fantastic job watching my three dogs. She was very easy to communicate with, sent photos while she was there, and even washed their dishes which I did not expect her to do. I would highly recommend Amanda to look after your babies and will definitely be working with her in the future.”
“Bernajah it's great! She provided a lot of updates and photos while taking care of my puppy. She is really sweet and very thoughtful! We will continue to work with her and we highly recommend her.”
“Mandy was wonderful with my dog Ollie! She has a flexible schedule and was so kind to modify my visit for him last minute when my plans changed. She is great with dogs and knowing she has the expertise of a vet tech definitely gives me peace of mind. Would highly recommend her to anyone!”
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 enjoy dog sitting on my off time. I have a pretty hectic work schedule that is all over the place. This makes it hard for me to have my own pup so I love on everyone else’s pups instead. I only take pets on the weeks that my schedule isn’t as crazy. This allows me to give my full attention and spend quality with the pet while I have them. I love cuddling up on the couch with pups. I also enjoy going to the dog park and long walks around the lake for some exercise
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was literally 2. I love them all. I go to animal ark also and sometimes volunteer there. Never really had any issues Currently I’m only working part time so whenever I have extra time I would love to dedicate it to helping people with their animals when they are busy. I have a fenced in backyard and I have two kennels in my home for my dogs. I will treat my clients home with the most care and respect.

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.

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.
