About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since early childhood. Between walking, feeding, and playing, I’ve cared for pups since I can remember. I have two mix breed babies at home. I am a writer with an 11 year old child. So taking your pets for a walk would be a nice break in my day! I have a large yard, and two medium sized fur dogs that love to play. I can also keep them separate if need be or even crate.
About: I’m super patient and love giving all of the snuggles and cuddles to dogs! I will be what you need while you’re living your best life on vacation I work full time but can do check ins in the morning, on lunch & at night. I am off on weekends so can go during the weekend any time as well. I’m not currently offering boarding services. I’m only doing dog walking and in home check ins. So so so so so so so so sorry!
About: My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal deserves patience, love, or just some comforting company. I am more than happy to take care of your furry friend(s) all day on weekends or walk them M-F after 5pm. Please message me for more detailed availability if needed. I have been trained with the SPCA in California to handle large and small dogs. Caring for pets brings me joy, and I treat each one as if they were my own—because they deserve nothing less.
About: I am home often and go for hikes a considerable amount. I've been around and owned dogs my whole life. I have a considerable amount of knowledge regarding dogs and cats and believe that I am fluent enough in their behaviors to be a great dog walker/sitter. I have lots of experience in training dogs too so I can help with any training services that may be needed. I believe dogs are important parts of any family and deserve the same love and care as a child would receive from a babysitter. Contact me anytime for your petcare needs and I will reply ASAP!!! Hello! I’m currently on an extended break from touring with the circus and looking to fill my days with hobbies. I want an excuse to get outside so dog walking is perfect. Especially since my dogs are staying in Ga this summer and I miss them loads. I will not be offering boarding at this time. I currently do not live where it is applicable. I am still available to house sit within my mile perimeter.
“Autumn was absolutely wonderful with my dogs and they lived her! She even sent pictures updates while she was there. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and I'm excited about using here in the future!”
About: I’ve been a professional dog trainer for the last 5 years. I spent my childhood training horses and showing horses and dogs. I’m very comfortable with any breed and size dog! I work from home and can make my own schedule which allows me to be very flexible with my availability to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard and ruffland crates to keep your dogs safe! I have 2 very friendly female German shepherds for you pup to play with!
About: I have experience with high energy dogs such as German Sheppard and Goldendoodle. I have a senior dog and I have experience with administering medicine daily. I currently work 8-5 but half day on Fridays. I can stop by before or after work to check on animals. I can also do weekends I use a wireless fence at home so I am currently not offering in home care. But I am experienced in making sure those machines work
About: I am new to dog walking but I have two fur babies I adore and looking to share the love 💕 Hope to hear from you soon :) I’m currently working full time but have availability on the weekends typically after 3pm ~ open to more schedule as I get to know the job! I always want to be safe myself + would want the same for your precious fur baby :) ~ leash ~ collar / harness ~ safe areas to walk
About: Hey my name is Nya! I'm 21 years old and I am available for dog and cat sitting gigs in Grovetown, Georgia. I am willing to travel to pick up/drop off your pet for boardings or if you prefer, do check-ins and pet sit at your house. I will provide energetic play dates or calm loving couch potato sessions depending on what your furbaby enjoys. I have grown up and cared for three dogs and one cat in my house (NONE live in my apartment with me now) they were either fosters, or family pets. But I've cared for more pets than I can count as I use to work at a daycare and boarding center located in Madison Yards for close to a year. (I also have experience with handling pet medicine, so don't be hesitant to contact me!) So I have a schedule that allows me to be home majority of the day so your pets with always have my attention and time! I live in a housing area so no major roads near my house. I also have a fenced backyard and plenty of space in the house.
“Nicole was wonderful!! She was able to book us last minute for Christmas weekend. She provided lots of pictures and updates, and is very caring and loving to both the dogs and my home. Will definitely be calling her again!”
About: I have over 15 years experience with animals and pet sitting. From dogs, cats, rodents (guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, hamsters etc.) Birds and parrots as well as reptiles. I grew up in a house full of animals and still currently live in a house full of animals! My children and I love meeting new furry friends and would love the opportunity to hang out with yours! I have a very open schedule, I am a stay at home mom with a 7yr old, a 3 year old and a 1.5 yr old. We love going for walks. Hanging out at the park, running around our own backyard etc. We would love for your pup or other pet to join us in the fun! My schedule is open enough to allow me to travel to your home for visits and walks as well as host in my own home. I have a large fenced in yard, and my own pup to keep your pet company. Dogs are also allowed in the house and on the couch. Crates can be used as added comfort if needed. When out and about (walking) with your pet they will remain leashed and close to me at all times (no one else will be handling the leash besides me).

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 Harlem 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 Harlem 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 Harlem with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
