“Olivia was everything I needed in a cat sitter. She was kind, polite, and did everything asked, plus a bit extra! Olivia is already very experienced with cat sitting, so other than provide basic instructions about where to find things, I did not have to provide any other instructions. She filled out extensively detailed Rover cards (a first for any of my drop-ins) and provided ample photos, which I appreciated because I tend to worry about my home and pets while I am away. She made visual contact to confirm that my cats that hide are ok, and gave extra attention to my cat that likes to play and be petted. She had to bring her children to one drop in, but she asked first, and that was so polite of her to do, plus it ensured the safety of my cats and her children. The kids played very nicely and showed affection to my friendly cat, who gets really bored and lonely when we are out. She even stayed a bit longer a few times to play with him. When someone is dropping in at your home they could do almost anything and you would have no idea, so I appreciate being informed. You have to place a lot of trust in someone in order to allow them into your home, care for your animals, and make an emergency decision if necessary. Communication is a major component in earning and keeping that trust. Olivia followed all instructions, asked for clarification if necessary, and kept me informed on what happened at my house, the cats, and what she did while there. She even brought in my UPS box. She was an outstanding sitter, the best I've used so far. I would definitely use Olivia again.”

“Thank you for taking care of my babies while I was away. Stephanie was able to squeeze me in with very short notice and was very punctual in the agreed on times. She sent me updates on the pets and the house, and I felt at ease the entire time.”

“Highly recommend Kellie! She was wonderful with our pets despite having to take care of a grumpy Pyrenees on antibiotics. She kept us updated and sent pics as well. We will definitely use her for our pet sitting needs again.”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals cats, dogs, fish, and even plants! I love to help my friends, family, and more with walking their dog, feeding their cat, or watering plants! I work only a few days a week because I’m a stay at home mother so I would give your pup all my love. I’m available during the week from 11am - 8pm. I take my dogs on walks as well as play fetch at least once a day! I feed them twice a day and let them out every 2-3 hours. If i dog/cat sit for someone I go to their house 2 times a day to feed, walk, or whatever else I’m instructed to do.

“Ethel took wonderful care of my senior special needs little old lady, Kerry. Kerry was so comfortable with Ethel--she allowed head petting, which is something we don't get to do often! Would book Ethel again, for sure!”

About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets has been a part of my life for years. From playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience, I know how to adjust my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. I have hands-on experience with feeding, walking, administering medications, crate training, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their dogs and cats, and I treat every animal like they’re my own—plenty of cuddles, playtime, and attention included! Whether your pet is full of energy or just enjoys lounging around, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. Pet care is just a natural part of my day. I’m used to building my routine around feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love. I make sure pets get their exercise, attention, and cuddles every single day, because I know how much those little things matter. Each week, I also set time aside for things like brushing, extra play, or whatever makes them happiest. Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me — it’s something I truly enjoy and look forward to. I care for pets like they’re part of the family! In my home, they’ll have a safe, cozy space with plenty of love, playtime, and snuggles. In your home, I follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable and cared for—whether that’s walks, meals, meds, or cuddle time. Every pet is unique, and I make sure they get the attention and affection they deserve. 💕🐾

“When we got home, Leonhard came running to the door to greet Morcos. He was confused to see us I think. It's always so relieving to come home to happy cats, and it lets us relax with family when we know they're being so well cared for.”

Sarah was great! She had great communication throughout our entire booking. She was prompt with her visits and always checked in through the app. We will be sure to book Sarah again in the future for our long days or travel to watch our animals.

I cannot speak highly enough of Lily! She watched our cat Marco over 4 days. Lily was unbelievably awesome! She knew how to build trust with cats and spent time doing it. She interpreted all Marco's body language excellently, and knew how and when to approach, and when to leave things be. Lily gave amazing updates on each visit and all the photos helped me miss him in a balanced way so that I could be present for the important life event we couldn't take him with us on. Lily was incredibly thoughtful around little touches in his environment to help him stay comfortable and safe. She even was able to navigate coming out to do her visits on our boat where we all live. What can this woman not do? Nothing it seems. Worth every penny and more. Looking for someone who is so good they have all the qualifications of an animal behaviorist PhD? Lily is your girl!!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hartfield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 770 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hartfield. 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hartfield. On Rover:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
