“Morgan was wonderful! I recently went on a vacation and had to leave my four babies at home—two dogs and two cats. She cared for them exactly as I requested. I have two senior pets who require a little extra time and attention, and she didn’t hesitate to give them the care they needed. My neighbor even told me that Morgan took my dogs to the pet park on the property, even though I never asked her to do that. That extra effort meant so much to me. I was incredibly nervous about leaving my pets with someone I didn’t know, but Morgan immediately put my mind at ease. Knowing they were in such caring and capable hands allowed me to truly enjoy my vacation. I will absolutely choose Morgan again to care for my babies, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable.”


About: From enormous dogs to disabled cats, I’ve owned them all! A proud shelter pet foster parent and adopter I’ve had 6 dogs 2 cats to call mine. My current furry companions include Lily, a 125lb Dane-Lab mix who loves to play, and Sammy, a one eyed tuxedo cat who gets eye drops (and extra head scratches) everyday. A friend to all, even if they aren’t friends back, I’m comfortable around everyone from the shyest to the most affectionate. I’ve been walking, sitting, boarding, and loving animals for more than half my life and am excited to meet and care for yours now too! A part time college student I’m available absolutely any time I’m not in classes (Monday and Wednesday from 10-2 and Tuesday and Thursday from 1-5). Weekdays, weekends, holidays, overnights, no problem! I’m used to taking care of my own 24/7 and you can expect them same for your own. Coming from big yards and small apartments alike, I’m used to a wide variety of pet care environments. Walks around the city, running around the yard, or even a day trip to pet friendly parks/beaches are all personal favorites, but each pet is different so just let me know what yours need! I’m comfortable with litter, cleaning up messes, and am quick to learn special setups or equipment.
“Alexandra did such a fabulous job caring for our dogs Eevee and Marlo! We can’t thank her enough for being so attentive to them, and following our instructions. She’s a wonderful sitter!”

About: I have been around animals all my life and grew up with cats and dogs in the house. Currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats back home. From kittens and pups, to senior pets, I’m more than comfortable with the needs of any age/breed I am currently a student at scad. My schedule is flexible: I am unavailable Monday and Wednesday mornings and Tuesday/Thursday evenings from 1:30-4:30pm. The sooner a date and time is set is the sooner I can take care of your beloved ones! I cherish all animals as more than just a pet. I believe they deserve the world as we are a part of their whole lives.
About: Hi, I’m Toccara! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds like dogs, cats, birds, bunnies. I have officially been pet sitting since I was 16 and have also been working at a dog daycare for the past four months, where gained lots of experience with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am currently working part-time at my job. On days that I am off from work I usually have a very open schedule past 10am and can always make discussion on what you prefer!! When caring for pets in my home I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I pay attention to their individual needs and personalities. I treat every dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of affection and care. I am gentle, patient, and attentive and have especially learned these things from working with dogs. and would never do anything to harm an animal. Working at a dog daycare also helped me learn about different sickness and what to look out for dogs when something isn’t right or if they need medical attention.
“Katie is just the best. She went out of her way to look after my guy when I had to work late. She came over the day before so he could meet her. She put my mind at ease and sent me lots of pictures from their time together. We can’t wait for her to come visit again!”

“I recently booked Brandy and couldn’t be happier. She scheduled a meet & greet first so my two fur babies could feel safe with her, which I really appreciated. She’s always on time, friendly, and you can tell she truly loves my pets by how she interacts with them. I’ve already booked her again and will keep using her. If you want someone reliable and caring, definitely choose Brandy!”


About: I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I see “pets” as people; they are not just animals; they are family. Ever since I was young, neighbors, family members, friends, and even my former cheer coach have trusted me enough to care for their pets. I have experience staying in clients’ homes for extended periods of time, making sure their pets are fed, walked, loved, and given plenty of attention while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can fully trust with your baby, and I always treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. I grew up with animals in my house. We’ve always had Dachshunds (Wiener dogs) and multiple cats at a time. Even though I’ve never had a big dog of my own, I’ve been a sitter for many family friends with black labs and golden retrievers. I hope one day I’ll be able to have one of my own! I’m currently a SCAD student who just finished her 5 week summer courses and I’m looking for ways to make some money before school starts. My weeks are fully free without class. I can take your dogs on walks or play with them at the dog park. I have also previously walked a cat in a stroller, so if that’s something you’re interested in doing, I would. I do live in an apartment on downtown, so I don’t have much yard but there is some outside my building. We don’t have a big backyard which is a bummer. Sometimes military aircraft fly by our house and tend to be very loud for animals who have a hard time with noise. But it is close to Forsyth park!
“Natalie was seriously amazing! She watched our two cats while we were abroad. The power went out at our apartment for a few days while we were gone and she offered to visit the cats more often to make sure they were okay and had fresh water! She went above and beyond to help us out while we were away. I would 100% trust her to watch our cats again and can’t thank her enough for being so kind and patient! She even printed out her favorite pictures she took of them 🥹 Natalie is a truly wonderful rover.”


About: I’ve had my own cats since I was 9 years old, as well as my families dog that I would frequently take on walks and watch while my parents were at work when I’m back in town. Growing up I was always the go-to pet sitter for my cul-de-sac as pretty much everyone me knew how much I loved animals. Nowadays I help out my friends with their pets when they need it (cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles of various ages). I am a quick learner and always aim to make sure the animals feels as safe and comfortable as possible. I am currently a full time student, however I still have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I am available Friday-Sunday most weeks, before 11am or after 2pm on Tuesdays/Thursdays, and before 11am or after 5pm on Monday/Wednesday. My schedule is also very flexible if we need to work something out! I unfortunately am unable to keep animals at my residence, but I am more than happy to come by your place and recreate your typical care schedule!
About: Hello, I have over 4 years of sitting experience along with one year as a vet tech. I enjoy being around animals and live a very active lifestyle. I can guarantee that your pet will receive plenty of exercise, attention, and love. I have open availability all week. I can work mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can cater my schedule around yours. I do all that I can to meet my clients needs. I am a clean, organized, mature, responsible adult who takes pet sitting seriously. I ensure that your animals and house will be taken care of.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am now a proud dog mom to my Frenchie, Hendrix! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I’ll care for them just like they’re my own. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates throughout the day. My apartment complex is very dog friendly and has two fenced-in grass dog parks, so whether your dog loves to play or prefers a slower pace, I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. If you have a Frenchie or another wrinkle-faced pup, they’re in good hands! My apartment has pet stairs to all the furniture, and I always keep wrinkle wipes, wrinkle paste, nose balm, and other Frenchie essentials on hand to keep those ADORABLE squishy faces happy and healthy. FOR OVERNIGHT BOARDING: All dogs must be up to date on their vaccines! My Frenchie, Hendrix, will be here too and I need to make sure he’s safe. Hendrix is incredibly friendly and loves making new dog friends. If your pup enjoys other dogs, they’ll have a built-in playmate. If they prefer to be the only dog, overnight boarding may not be the best fit—but I’m always happy to discuss other care options!🐾🩷 I work from home, and am only gone for a few hours in the afternoons on Tues-Thursday, which means I have the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day to check in on your pup and give them the attention they need! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know how they’re doing, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for!
About: I grew up in a family with 6 or more animals all the time. Life would be so boring without animals! I also grew up on a farm with horses, donkeys, and chickens. I love all animals and would love to meet yours! I work a 9-5 but I make sure to dedicate lots of time for my animals (and yours!) I’m flexible with my time as well. I live right next to Forsyth park and a square downtown. I have lots of areas to let yours and my animals roam and get some outside time!
About: Hi, my name is Gavin Schroen! I’m a 20-year-old sophomore Film Student at SCAD and a proud dog owner. I’ve cared for my dog, Calvin, for 14 years—from his playful puppy days to his senior years now—so I have hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life. That means I know how to handle high-energy pets who need lots of attention and exercise, as well as senior dogs who need extra patience, comfort, and care. What sets me apart is the level of dedication and understanding I bring to pet care. I know that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I make sure to give them the same love and attention that I give to Calvin. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I’m committed to keeping pets happy and cared for while their owners are away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Living on my own allows me to dedicate time and attention to pets without major conflicts, making me reliable and adaptable to your needs. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so providing consistent care, safety, and attention has become second nature to me. I understand the responsibility that comes with pet ownership and make it a priority to create a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for every pet I look after.

“Lily was great with my cats!!! She was great at communicating with me while I was gone and she followed the schedule we had set perfectly. She gave my cats lots of attention and kept them very happy! I would love to have lily watch my cats again”


About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. As an animal shelter volunteer, I’ve worked with dogs from different backgrounds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. I’m active and able to keep up with high-energy dogs while also providing attentive care and companionship. My experience at adoption events has helped me become comfortable handling dogs in new environments and making sure they feel safe and supported. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m able to adjust my availability around bookings and make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care. At my home or a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely to keep pets comfortable and on their normal routine. I make sure they are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their energy level. I prioritize safety, supervision, and creating a calm, stress-free environment. I’m also attentive to each pet’s personality, whether they need extra cuddles, structure, or space.
About: I've had five dogs over the course of my lifetime, purebreds and mutts, large and small. I have strong knowledge of a dog's body language and vocalizations. I have experience driving with dogs in the car. I've even taken care of some more unconventional animals, like lizards. When I'm not caring for pets, I'm a grad student at Savannah College of Art and Design. I'm taking two classes right now. One is on Monday/Wednesday from 11AM to 1:30 PM. The other is Tuesday/Thursday from 8AM to 10:30 AM. I care for pets by giving them lots of attention and praise. I listen carefully and observe their behavior so I can tell just what tell just what they want. I love taking dogs for walks, especially in areas with lots of nature. I will bring treats and poop bags if required. I will be respectful of your home while I'm in it. If a certain area is off limits for me or the dog, just let me know.
About: I have grown up my entire life with a household full of dogs and cats, so I know what it takes to care for them and bring them happiness. I have a puppy of my own right now and know how particular I can be about certain things, so any special requests or needs will be met by me. I am an advocate for training and can ensure you I will follow your instructions carefully. I love going on walks and am an active person, no better companion than a pup. I give my undivided attention to each pet and will make sure you feel at ease while you are away. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well as shelter pets through fostering. I am free on the weekends to help take your pet out on a walk or a visit while you are traveling/busy. I enjoy being outside, why not include a furry friend! I will take them on long, but safe walks and provide a lot of water. If I'm visiting a home, I will be sure to always follow the owner's guidelines and make sure I leave the place better than I found it. Everyone will be happy!

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.
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 Garden City 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 .

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 .
