“Kristin was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely cared. She kept us updated while we were away and made the whole experience stress-free. Our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We would definitely book with Kristin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.”
“Jonathan is great he spoils my dog, takes Bruno to the dog part plays with him. My dog has ear problems, and Jonathan, makes sure that he keeps his ears cleaned and updates me if there’s any problems. This is the second time I used Jonathan and when me and Bruno up this time, Bruno was so excited to see Jonathan. That how I know Jonathan is taken care of Bruno as if he was his own dog and I just love that for Bruno. I would definitely recommend Jonathan.”
“Went out of the country for 6 days and I must say Bam Bam looked so happy and play while I was gone. Valerie made sure to keep me up dated even though was was 6 hours time differy”
“I can’t recommend them enough! This was my first time leaving my 10-month-old puppy, Ollie, for several days, and I was honestly so nervous. They immediately put my mind at ease with regular updates, photos, and great communication throughout my trip. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my vacation. I’m so grateful for the care they gave him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy! 🤍🐾”
“Brittany was great! She communicated well throughout King and Dova’s stay. She provided me with pictures and videos of how they were doing. She spoiled them a little. I definitely think they enjoyed themselves! 🤭”
“Kayla did a great job with my precious Honey - a 3 year old American Terrier Pit Bull. Honey received so much love and attention. Pictures and updates came around the clock. I will be booking her in the future.”
About: I have always owned pet and have help friends and family with their animals when they have needed. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, my sister‘s bearded dragon, ferrets. Even chickens! I work full time and I am involved with my church and community, but when my schedule allows I love spending time with animals. I think animals make your days better. I know that every animal is different and every animal has their own personality so you tell me what works best for your furry friend.
About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m patient with puppies, attentive to senior pets, and happy to follow individual routines, feeding schedules, medications, and special care instructions. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while their family is away. I work from home, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Pets get plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to keep a consistent routine and give each pet the individual care and attention they need while their owners are away. Pets staying in my home become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and follow their normal routines, feeding schedules, medications, and special needs. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, happy, and at home while their family is away.
“Milena was wonderful baby sitting my dogs while i was on vacation in Australia !! She keeps you up to date with them by sends pics to you of them as well !! She’s very lovable towards animals. I definitely recommend Milena. You will be worry free leaving your dogs with her !!”
About: I’ve adored animals my entire life. I have a lot of hands on experience with everything from cats and dogs to birds and exotics. I work from home full time, so I typically have full availability. I have 3 kitties and a small dachshund. My cats are friendly and will retreat to their own space when they want to be alone. My dachshund is friendly and likes cats and other small dogs. He is shy/fearful around large dogs, which is why I’m only taking small dogs. All my animals are up to date on vaccines and healthy. I’m excited to take on caring for other small dogs. I work from home so I'm pretty much always home and ready to take on a cuddly baby or two! Would love to meet yours. :) I have a fenced yard and a pet friendly environment. Indoor and outdoor fun available to adapt to each dog’s specific energy needs. I can administer oral meds if needed. I have experience with all kinds of animals and can adapt to the situation as needed.
About: Most of my experience comes from caring for my senior beagle, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. He still has plenty of energy, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and keeping a steady routine. I study from home most days, so I’m around a lot and can give dogs regular breaks, attention, and a calm place to hang out. I’m a medical student who studies from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I already take my own dog out for daily walks and breaks, so adding another dog to that schedule works well. I can easily fit in regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and checkins throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly with plenty of open areas to walk. Inside, I keep a clean, supervised, and cozy home. I treat every dog gently and carefully, just like I treat my own.
About: I have a pet sitters certificate and I have been taking care of pets since I was 9 years old. I started out helping a older dog man with his yard and he showed me how to give shots, oral medication, etc… Pet care is something I take pride in and the love I have for animals is something special. I enjoy feeding, walking, and playing with pet. I’m available full time for pets in need of my care. I keep the area where the pet is cleaned and I also allow them time outside to enjoy themselves and empty out. I make sure your pet has fresh water and feed. If you have any special requests for your pet let me know and I will be sure to make your pet happy
About: I have cared for senior dogs multiple times, including administering medication according to their individual needs, sometimes once or twice a day. I’m experienced with dogs of various personalities, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to suit each animal\. I’m also comfortable caring for different types of dogs, cats, and other animals in general. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being. I absolutely love animals and would treat your pet the same as I would treat my own! Pet care fits into my weekly routine because I have a consistent college class schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have classes at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. On Tuesdays, I have classes from 12:00 to 4:45 p.m. On Thursdays, I have classes from 2:00 to 4:45 p.m., and on Fridays, I have class from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Outside of class, I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m dependable and willing to plan around my classes to meet each pet’s needs and maintain their normal routine. I provide attentive, reliable care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. A typical day includes feeding meals on schedule, refreshing water, giving medications if needed, taking pets outside for potty breaks and walks, and giving them plenty of attention. I also keep their environment clean and comfortable and make sure they receive lots of companionship throughout the day.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hartford home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hartford.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hartford sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
