“Nicole was super flexible in letting me add on a last minute drop in visit and her care for my cat while I was away was more than I could ask for. Thanks again, Nicole!!”
“I asked Sara to help me socialize my adopted, shelter dog. So, instead of a typical drop in, I was present for the visit. Sara was very patient and friendly with my dog and she knew exactly how to interact with her (get down low, avoid eye contact, continously give her treats, and let my dog approach her while telling her what a good girl she is). I was so relieved that I didnt have to explain all of that to her. My dog is so loving and affectionate but is super slow to trust people, but she was taking treats out of Sara's hand immediately. I have asked her to come back, so my dog can get to know the same person before introducing her to more people. I am confident that her and my dog will become great friends.”
“This is the second time I’ve hired Journey to take care of my kitties and she did not disappoint! She is always on time and really pays attention to all my notes, which can be a lot. She takes great pictures and always leaves notes for me after each visit.”
About: I've been lucky enough to be trusted with so many pets, from bearded dragons to Great Danes, and would love to be able to add yours to that number! I can accommodate everything from drop ins on a Tuesday to week long house sits. I specialize in special requests, and won't hesitate to sing happy birthday so they'll go outside (it wouldn't be the first time), or whatever silliness your pet needs to be comfortable until you return. I have experience across the spectrum from puppies under 6 months old to senior dogs. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, I can't wait to meet your baby! My schedule is flexible and open, I am available for as many drops ins or walks as needed! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or special requests. I love to get as many details as possible about your pet's routine and needs to best accommodate them in your home. I can send daily photos, videos, or whatever will make you feel comfortable while I am with your pet! Your peace of mind is my priority while they are in my care. I also have a very friendly medium sized dog that could act as a playmate if there are any concerns about your dog getting lonely. 🐕
“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”
“She was always on time and easy to communicate with. Great with my feline and left in-app notes to let me know how the visit went if there were any issues/concerns. Def recommend to others!”
“Huntter is absolutely fantastic!!! He came over before the visit to walk through everything and meet the kitties. He is very smart and easy to talk to, and picked up on all of our routines and instructions very easily. When it came time for the trip, Huntter was incredibly punctual and communicative. He sent pics, took amazing care of our cats, and also some various other things our house needed while we were gone for a week. We came home to everything looking perfect, and most importantly, two very happy healthy kitties! We HIGHLY recommend Huntter and we are so thankful for the wonderful care for Peach and Ripple!”
“Izzy was fantastic as always! She has watched our fur babies many times and they are so comfortable around her. She always makes sure she keeps us updated on how they are doing, which completely sets our minds at ease when we are away. The best decision was finding Izzy and entrusting her with our cats' care!”
“Kari did a fantastic job checking up on my two cats while I was out of the country. She even took pics which I know is not an easy task with my cats…they’re either elusive or constantly moving. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kari for her services again in the future.”
About: I have over a decade of dedicated experience in animal care, beginning with a lifetime of raising family cats and dogs. For 12 years, I was the proud owner of a British Bombay. My formal experience includes a 10-year tenure as a volunteer at the Southern Pines Animal Shelter in Hattiesburg, MS, where I assisted with kennel maintenance, exercise programs, and medical care, including administering vaccinations,. Currently, I am expanding my professional expertise by working towards AKC certifications to ensure the highest standard of care for every pet I work with. I am currently working a full-time job, but I have some flexibility. My availability for house sits is wide open. My availability for drop-ins & walks: - All day Tuesday, Thursday, & Sunday - Monday & Wednesday 6 am - 10 am - Friday & Saturday after 6 pm I have a large fenced in back yard and a friendly pitbull to keep your dog company. I can easily separate the animals if necessary and or crate your dog.
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and keeping us updated while we were out of town! She is very sweet and makes leaving your fur babies behind a little easier. Highly recommend!”
“For my first time using Rover, I could not have expected someone so efficient, kind, responsive, and caring as Gretchen. She was able to pick up my last minute booking for Christmas weekend this year when my original pet care plans fell through, and the relief was immense. She was quick to set up a video call since the timeframe didn’t allow for meeting in person, and asked all the right questions about caring for my pet and what to expect. Of course I was nervous, but Gretchen has this demeanor that will just reassure you, and she did. My dog and I are rarely apart and never for that long, so her check ins were my lifeline. Nothing made me happier than seeing the photos she’d send of him (sometimes upwards of 16! ♥️). I remember thinking how great the photos turned out, some seeming professional, like how’d she do that ! I still have them all. Him zooming, him outside, her TAKING HIM ON WALKS, sitting with him, and playing with toys. She even brought treats for him when she came. I left puppy pads down for any extra messes outside of her scheduled visits and to my surprise she even cleaned up and replaced the dirty ones over the course of the weekend! More than just myself, I know my dog appreciated seeing her come through and the time/effort she spent with him. Every time he comes inside from going out now he grabs up a toy to play like she did with him. You know that feeling when someone’s service is just beyond your wildest expectations? And you’re just so relieved and grateful for the treatment. The kindness? Their work. Forever grateful for Gretchen this Christmas, and will be reaching out to her first for any of my sitting needs.”
“Kathryn was so amazing to our dogs! We have two pups who were nervous around strangers but she did such a good job making them feel comfortable around her! She helped us with our last minute drop in visit and was best friends with both of them after 20 minutes!”
About: Fur parents, vets, and animal welfare organizations can attest to my ability to care for any breed or size of dog. I have enjoyed caring for dogs for over 15 years now. I am dedicated to a creature's well being. I grew up with several dog breeds around me. I have taken dogs on light walks, hiking, on a beach, in the park, or I have just tossed the ball outside each day. In my childhood, I volunteered with a local zoo and taught other kids about wildlife. I also trained golden retrievers and learned from local vets. My life has always been full of creature love, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, rabbits, birds, monkeys, tigers, and ground hogs. I truly love all animals. I work remotely and so have the flexibility to adapt my daily schedule to your fur baby’s to make every day supportive, loving, and fun! I live in a community that loves pets so there’s always a lovely outdoor spot to go on a walk in as well as health and well being resources available.
“Sam took great care of my cat while on vacation. She always communicated clearly and promptly! She was happy to accommodate any special requests as well. I was relieved to know that she would be checking in daily. Will definitely use Sam before anyone else when planning my next trip.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Hixson on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 848 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hixson. 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 Hixson 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.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
