About: I've had dogs all my life. Jack Russel Beagle, German Shepherd & Beagles. I understand shy and more active, hyper dogs. Happy to help out as I have often needed help along the way. I'm currently working full time, but have time after work and weekends. I'm open to different scenarios or last minute requests as needed within this area. I do have a fenced yard, but not currently accepting pets at my home, unless for small dog if needed for a short time. I would respectful of your home also.

About: My background is in social work and I am the oldest of four kids. Growing up we always had a golden retriever as a member of our family. This last August our family said goodbye to our sweet angel, Marley. I now have a little family of my own, and my son is eager to have a furry friend around. Him and my husband are super active, love playing in the mud, and want to prepare for our own dog one day.🤞We would love to host and take care of your animals. I have experience as a nanny, a caregiver for disabled and elderly folk, as well as two decades of dog nurturing and sitting. Can also provide care for bunnies. My husband and I are in between jobs. We have a 2.5 year old boy who is enamored with dogs and misses our previous pupper who passed from cancer in ‘24. We are home full time and keep our house smoke-free, hygienic, child-proofed…oh and hearts full of love to share! We can follow whatever guidelines you request as needed. We ask that you provide any resources for that at the beginning of the service please.

About: So let's be realistic, we have pretty busy schedules as adults. I don't though so don't feel bad when you schedule me haha. I've been a papa to the biggest of fluffers and smallest of small dogs. I'm very familiar with the feisty kittens and old grumpy cats, and at one point even a gold fish I kept for 2 years. I am no stranger to particular schedules, care routines, or special requests of animals. You got shedders? Not a problem I have lint rollers haha. I have been in customer service for years now, and every time when making someone's day easier or allowing them to feel less stress it brings me the most joy. I've been a mix of animals owner most of my life from fostering animals in need or assisting family and friends with taking care of their animals. I also supply baggies for bathroom time and long sleeves if it's chilly outside. I go on a lot of walks!! Anytime I'm not home baking or hanging out with a friend I'm normally just out and about exploring my neighborhood. My set preference schedule is actually just for when I have to either go to the gym or when I schedule appointments because Mondays work easier. Your pets are the number one priority. If they require something and I am attending them I make sure it happens. Not only is your space respected when I watch them but also the pets space. Feeding times, walk routes, and any medical requirements and boundaries will be discussed because all situations are different. If something happens like say something fell or they went potty by accident I will clean it up no problem. A work space is better when it's clean but also when it's fun!!! I do bring things like cleaning baggies and lint rollers but I can also make sure any particular scents are avoided.

About: Extra reviews/testimonies not appearing on Rover available upon request! I’ve taken care of pets through volunteer ever since I was 8 years old for friends and family. I love working with pets and would love to help sit or walk or provide other services if needed and can be taught! I’m working part time as I have school and am also applying to other part time jobs (especially acting) so I’d really appreciate a client with a willingness to a flexible schedule I’m willing to stay at a clients home to take care of their dog and be on alert for them and their whereabouts at a moments notice

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 3 years old. I love my pets, past and present. Currently, I have 5 dogs and 2 kitties. I have PERSONALLY successfully potty trained 2 of the dogs my family has had. I’ve owned a range of very large and very small dogs. I’ve dealt with puppies as young as 3 months and seniors as old as 13 years for dogs and 16 for cats (the cat is still alive and doing well!) I am a university student so I will be able to take care of your pets mostly in the evenings. However, I am available until noon on most weekdays and completely free on any weekend . I have taken care of not only sick house pets but sick wildlife. I have so much love for every animal that I will cater to any needs necessary. I myself have a dog with a disability and he is my heart and soul; I would do anything for him and your pets too.

About: Hello, I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. I have watched, played, fed and walked friends or neighbors animals. I love and care for any size animal. My family used to own a 200+ English mastiff. I work Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., so pet care is part of my routine before and after work. In the mornings, I feed, walk, and spend time with pets before leaving. After work, I take them for another walk, feed them if needed, play with them, and make sure they have plenty of attention. On weekends, I have more flexibility for feeding, longer walks or other activities. I have a fenced in yard and walking paths all around in my neighborhood. I also have an open field near by to play fetch.

About: What sets me apart is the level of personalized care I provide. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with puppy training basics such as leash manners, crate training, and reinforcing house rules, as well as senior pet care including administering medication, mobility support, and extra patience for aging pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing consistent updates, plenty of affection, and dependable care you can truly trust. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around consistent feeding times, walks, play, and check-ins to ensure pets receive dependable care and attention. I’m flexible and organized, which allows me to accommodate special needs like medication schedules, training reinforcement, or extra time for senior pets. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s never rushed—it’s a priority. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or their own. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, and medication if needed—so pets feel comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. I keep the home tidy and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities — and my own dog keeps me smiling every day. I know the joy (and responsibility) that comes with caring for a furry family member. I believe every pet deserves love, consistency, and fun! Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or sticking to a routine, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and a little spoiled while you’re away. I’m currently not working, but I’m looking for a full-time job. In the meantime, I have plenty of time and flexibility to devote to caring for pets each day. My dog is my best friend and a huge part of my life. He’s very well-behaved and loved beyond measure. I will make sure he’s cared for with consistency, comfort, and affection — from regular meals and potty breaks to lots of attention and snuggles. He’s treated like family, and I’d do the same for any pet I care for.

About: Hello everyone! I am a mom and wife who enjoys animal friends. I’ve raised and cared for many varieties of animals. I have experience with the tiniest fur babies to the biggest! Do to my current work schedule I will no longer be offering boarding services for dogs. However, I am open to walking and drop in services. My only requirement for bookings is that your fur baby has all the items needed to be comfortable. That includes food, leashes, harnesses, etc. Also furry loved ones should be up to date on all shots and not showing any signs of illness. If I am taking care of someone’s fur baby I will not double book. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but I want to ensure safety, time, and attention for pets while they are in my care. Do to COVID-19 being a concern for some, we have followed the recommended CDC guidelines. Additionally, everyone within our home has been vaccinated. Should you like for me to wear a mask during my booked service time, please do not hesitate to reach out and I will be more than happy to accommodate. I work from home. I have plenty of flexibility to adjust to a dog/cat’s recommended routine. I have more availability on the weekends to provide services. If your pet is scheduled with me, I aim to provide them with lots of love and attention! I make sure to provide updates during each booking no matter how big or small it may be.

Diane has been absolutely wonderful with Bruce! She consistently goes above and beyond, and I feel completely comfortable knowing he is in her care. She pays close attention to him and always lets me know if she notices anything different with his behavior, health, or routine, which I truly appreciate. She is also incredibly flexible and accommodating whenever our schedule changes. Diane is dependable, thoughtful, and genuinely cares about Bruce. We feel very lucky to have found her and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to care for their dog!

Valerie was absolutely amazing with our dog during a very chaotic time for our family. We were in the middle of moving, and with all the stress and changes in the house, our dog had a couple of unexpected issues come up. Valerie handled everything calmly, confidently, and with so much care. She kept us updated, reassured us, and truly went above and beyond. We honestly could not have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful for her!!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Hainesville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Hainesville on Rover is $26.64 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 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 September 2026, there are 3,505 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Hainesville. 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 Hainesville 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 Hainesville 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 Hainesville 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 Hainesville. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
