About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 16 years old. I have experience caring for many of my mom’s friends’ pets, including staying in their homes and making sure their pets are well taken care of. I usually stay anywhere from 3 to 14 days, depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, dependable, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I currently work part-time at a barber shop while attending college. Even with my busy schedule, I will always make time for your babies and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat your pets like they are my own! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I also give pets plenty of attention and make sure they get the care they need throughout the day.
“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fortson
We were so happy with our pet sitter and would absolutely recommend her! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and sent photos with every visit, along with updates to let us know how they were doing. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. When we returned home, everything was in great shape, and their litter area had been cleaned thoroughly. She was dependable, attentive, and clearly took great care of them. We will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fortson on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 640 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
