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 have had some experience as pet boarding in my own home. I have my own dogs for the past 9 years. I know how rescues dogs engage when they are in a new environment and their needs. I recognize their body language and signs. They never bother me and I’m always there for them. I have plenty time on weekends since I do my online homework during the week and weekend. I usually take them for walks every day at nights so they have a better sleep afterwards. I have a fenced yard and my two beagles to have your fur baby company. I can create your baby if you feel it’s needed. I have an additional room available to separate if needed so they do not have to be placed in a kennel.
About: Taken care of all animals different pieces and sizes! I live to go on runs so if your doggo needs some energy expenditure I can make that happen run usually span from 2 miles up to 13miles! My doggies run every other day and go to the dog park every day in between! Very quiet household! So if you need your doggies tired just let me know! Live in a large apartment so there is plenty of space for them to play but pets are taken out for runs and dog park pretty much every day.
“Absolutely amazing! LeeAnna took her time and kept me updated every step of the way. My dogs were in wonderful hands. She spent so much time with my babies it was a comfort knowing they were well taken care of.”
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.
“Jessica went above and beyond taking care of our babies! Bear definitely did NOT make it easy for her 😂, but she handled our wild puppy with so much patience, love, and grace. She made sure our old man Duke was comfortable and cared for, gave Duchess all the love she needed, and even won over Bax, our cat! Having four pets with completely different personalities is a lot, but Jessica handled our crazy crew like a champ and kept us updated while we were away. I truly appreciate the love and care she showed Duke, Duchess, Bear, and Bax. I cannot recommend Jessica enough! Finding someone you can truly trust with your babies is priceless, and Jessica is absolutely that person. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, dependable, compassionate, and will genuinely love and care for your pets like they’re her own, book Jessica. You will not regret it! We will absolutely be booking with her again. ❤️”
About: I have grown up with dogs from a young age. The loyalty and love they provide is unmatched. I’m definitely that girl that is out wanted to pet every puppy, lol. I have about 10 years of dogsitting experience. I had two faithful families that I would sit for anytime they went on vacation. I would stay in the home and care for their dogs. I also have experience with senior pets, as two of the dogs were senior and I had a Golden Retriever that lived to be 16. We both WFH and I work hybrid. We live in an apartment and can provide outside time for your baby albeit play time, potty breaks. We have a toddler so we make sure that all small toys are away from the pets. We have a dog ourselves so we do allow freedom to roam around the space.
“Destiny is an amazing house sitter and does so well with watching my house and dog Zelda. Due to my dog’s surgery, I had to find a house sitter as my dog can’t be around other dogs. Destiny met with me in advance and was very responsive. She updated me with pics of my dog every day and gave my dog lots of love. She even administered my dog medicine which was great! Would definitely recommend !!”
About: Hi!! Lily here!! I am a full time teacher looking for a part-time adventure with your pet!! I have been a proud cat mama for 5 years now, having grown up with both dogs and cats. As a pet parent, I know your trust is precious. I have been entrusted over the years with many of my loved ones’ family members, including kittens, senior dogs, excitable puppies! I have experience with various levels of training as well. I know one of the most important ways to protect your pets’ peace is to introduce as little change and upset to their routine as possible while you’re away. That’s why I’m here to learn their norm and deliver it!! As for your peace, I am open to as much communication about your little one as you’d like for your reassurance- expect all the cute pet pics your heart desires!! I am a full time teacher, so my availability for house sitting is limited to the weekends but drop-in visits and walks are much more open. I’d love to be able to build a relationship with your pet over time, so reoccurring scheduling is available! Typically, I am free after 5pm until 10pm on weekdays and open on the weekend (until 10pm Sunday depending on commute). I will not be offering in-home services for the safety and benefit of your animals and mine. My bonded pair of mother and son cats are not interested in friends, sadly! So, the ball is in your court for care!! Whatever your animal’s normal is, I aim to deliver. Please give me detailed instructions upfront and be patient with any questions while I try to maintain your pet’s routine.
About: Hi! I’m Cate. I’ve be taking care of cats and dogs since I was little. Cats with attitude don’t scare me—my baby at home is a tortieshell.😂 I’m used to all dogs, from pitties to chihuahuas, and I’d love to meet yours. I usually have work from 9 to 5 everyday except for Sunday and Monday. I can be there in the morning and in the evening. I’m open to anything you need done to keep your baby happy. Feeding, cleaning up, keeping company, etc. I know sometimes they just get lonely while we’re away, and so if you need me to spend a couple extra minutes playing fetch or giving cuddles, it’s no strain on me.
“Heather was the most AWESOME pet sitter we have ever had!! She sent a ton of photos, videos, & verbal updates. Our dog has puppy energy & also has medical needs, but Heather handled it with no problem!! Our pup was tuckered out & happy when we got home.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I started helping my mom at a humane society when I was around 13, where we fostered kittens until they were ready to be adopted. That’s where I really learned patience and how to care for animals with different needs and personalities. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life-dogs, cats, and reptiles, so I’m very comfortable with everyday care like feeding, routines, and paying attention to behavior. I also currently work in animal care and as a photographer at Wag Atl (Doggy daycare. It’s given me a lot of hands-on experience and made me really confident handling our fluffy friends. I know every pet is different, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I'm very passionate about animals, I just love dogs and take their care very seriously so I would love to sit with your pets! I currently do work full time with a doggy daycare; my off days are Tuesday/Wednesday. But I am available every day of the week, as long as you are comfortable with an 8-hour workday in between care. I can stay with your fluffy friends through the night, no problem! And of course provide walks/potty breaks/playtime! When caring for my your pets I keep it similar to how i treat my own animals unless called for otherwise. I regularly take them out on walks and potty breaks, play time is a must and I like to keep a strict eye on the pet to make sure they're safe and sound at all times. I will always keep in contact with you and give regular updates in pictures of how your pet is doing.

I will provide the right care your animal is needed, just like if it was my own pet. I work full time Monday-Thursday from 8-3pm. I have plenty of time to take care of animals and I will do everything in my power to make sure your animal is well taken care of. I have a safe environment in my home. I live in a safe household and enough space for your animals to roam and play as they would need. I also have security cameras as well to provide extra protection.

Rianna was amazing. She was very communicative before and after the visit and followed the instructions to a T. She has experience and a love for cats and it shows. She spent time with my girl and even got her to come out and play and get a belly rub which is unheard of for my cat and strangers. We will keep using Rianna as long as she keeps us! Thank you! ❤️🙏🏼

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 of Pet Sitting in Fortson is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 634 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fortson. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fortson. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
