“Stacy took care of Bear as if he was her own pet and provided us updates throughout his stay. Bear seemed like he was having a ball and was comfortable with her family in their home. We highly recommend Stacy and will definitely book with her again!.”
“Needed a sitter on short notice while our apartment was being fumigated, I was so grateful for Jennifer taking them in while I was at work. She's very kind, gentle, and caring, providing perfect care for both our sweet kitties. One of our cats had a bit of irritation in her eye from some dirt, and she was able to give her the eye drops we left with her. Absolutely will book her again if/when I need a sitter, you can tell how much she loves what she does.”
“Jess was wonderful!! This was our first time boarding our cat and Jess sent the perfect amount of updates during the week she took care of her. I'm 100% sure my kitty is going to miss Jess and her wonderful family. We are so grateful for them and will be using her again if we need to board our kitty. Thank you!!! 😊”
“Great experience overall. They were very accommodating to my schedule, which I really appreciated. Responded to my messages quickly and they made the whole process convenient and stress-free. Highly recommend!”
“Ryan and his family are lovely people and took excellent care of my dog. They have a young Aussie who was also sweet and my dog came back to me very relaxed and happy (and very tired after all the fun!). Ryan offered to bathe my dog after he got dirty on a hike, which was very thoughtful. He sent frequent photos and kept me in the loop with everything, which put me at ease after having a poor experience with a previous Rover dog sitter. I couldn’t recommend this family enough! Thank you Ryan and family!”
“Incredible !!! Heather took care of Noah like he was hers, lots of walking , playing and the best part he made new friends …!!! Her backyard is specious , fenced and perfect for the day by day activities Totally recommend, you wont be disappointed !!!”
“Our dachshunds spent a week at a resort! They were pampered and loved, spoiled rotten and loved the heated blanket. I can’t say enough great things about these amazing people and their children who took such great care of our Doxies - I’m not sure they wanted to leave!!!”
“When we needed to make a quick trip to New Hampshire we scheduled a “meet and greet” to visit with Virginia and see how our recently adopted dogs would react to a stranger as they are not socialized with people. Normally they bark and are hyperactive when seeing any stranger. After five minutes they were calm and seemed to be “at home” with Virginia! Virginia cared for our fur babies for five days and we were more than pleased with the care she took with them. She has the experience and skills to make dogs “comfortable” in new surroundings. She kept us updated with photos and text messages letting us know how they were doing on a daily basis. When our flight was delayed in returning due to weather and we were several hours late Virginia was most gracious allowing us to pick up our dogs late at night as she knew we were anxious to see them… for this we are most appreciative for her understanding as well as cooperation. We can recommend Virginia without reservation and believe she loves dogs as much as we do. Virginia provides excellent care.”
“Our little Levi had a great time with Sushma and her little one Frosty. Levi was very well taken care of and happy. He definitely wasn’t sad to see us go as he felt very comfortable right away. I highly recommend Sushma. She sends pictures and videos often letting me know all is good.”
“Thank you, Frida, for taking such good care of our dog while on vacation. She is the best; she kept us updated every day even though we were distraught since it was our first time using Rover, but after the first day, we knew she was in good hands. We will hire her again. Great job ??”
“Danielle was wonderful! She took great care of my dog, Turner, over the weekend and made sure he was happy and well cared for. She kept me updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout the weekend, which gave me peace of mind. She is also incredibly friendly, personable, and easy to work with. I highly recommend Danielle and will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Mikaela was amazing! Flexible with our changing schedule. She sent us updates and photos multiple times throughout the day which made us feel more comfortable about leaving our fur baby behind. The kennels were spotless and the run area was large and well kept. We would definitely use her again.”
“We love having Michael as our go-to sitter! He makes a weekend get away seamless knowing the pups are taken care of. He sends updates and photos and goes the extra mile with a pick up/drop off option. Couldn’t recommend him enough.”
About: Hi! My name is Stefanie and I've been pet sitting since 2016 where I decided to start my side business 'Wag a Little'. I am a very flexible sitter. I can come to you, or I can board them with me. I have two cats and one dog of my own who are great with other animals. My yard is fenced in for the pets to go out and do their business and run around and play! I live in a quiet subdivision and hardly ever have trouble with neighbors and their pets. My pets are up to date on all of their shots, and all I ask is that your pets are as well. (if you have any questions or concerns about certain vaccines, please feel free to ask!) I have worked in the pet industry for a little over 6 years, starting as a sales clerk at a pet store. From there, I've worked in dog training, grooming salons and even dabbled a little in the vet industry. I do offer grooming as well for an additional charge. I will bathe, dry and brush out your pets. I can also clip their nails for you so you don't have to worry about getting scratched! I hope you can consider me to take great care of your fur babies! I will accommodate to all your needs! And give all the snuggles your pets need while you are away. I am home full time other than doing some Instacart on the side, but I am never away from the home for more than 4 hours at a time. And I am more than happy to stay home with your pets if they have separation anxiety. I have a securely fenced in yard for the fur babies to do their business. For exercise, we can play fetch or go for walks! If I am sitting at the owners home, just let me know what your routine is and I'll happily accommodate it.
“Kristi was so fantastic and a true lifesaver when we needed someone to watch our pup last minute. She provided us with photo/video updates every day and made sure our boy had the best time. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone.”
“Stephanie is awesome! It was our first time leaving Charlie. Our nerves were calmed after the meet and greet. She has a huge love for dogs and the perfect home to make him feel welcome! She was an excellent communicator & we have already booked for his next visit!! So very thankful that my friend recommended Stephanie!!!”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I am new to sitting for Rover. I haven been sitting dogs /homes since I was a teenager. From playful pups to gentle seniors, I’ve had the joy of raising and looking after a variety of breeds. I currently have four amazing dogs of my own—a Labrador Retriever, Rottweiler, Pit Bull mix, and Terrier mix—so I’m no stranger to different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, or just a cozy nap in the sun, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every dog like family, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I work fully remote, which means I have a flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and potty breaks—plus any feeding, medication, or special care instructions you provide. For dog walks, I ensure each walk is safe, engaging, and tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a brisk walk to burn off energy, I always keep their safety and happiness top of mind.
“Annette is a natural dog person! She understands them well. Living walkably close to a dog park, she spoiled my dog with 2 trips to the park per day...now he's bored at home with me after staying with her! Having a fenced-in back yard is a huge plus, too. I'll have my dog stay with her every time I go out of town, going forward! Thanks, Annette!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Homer
I’m a rover pet sitter myself & I keep fur babies for nervous owners who’ve never left them before all the time. My babies are 3 & 8 and I found myself in that same situation never having realized how nerve racking it could be till now because they have always traveled with me. I used chayna once before for a foster dog & she did a great job so I decided to see how it went for my personal babies & it was wonderful! She gave me constant updates & adorable photos that made it clear they were happy & being loved on. I finally feel like I finally have an option to travel again & feel comfortable leaving my dogs with someone!
While I feel my lab/doodle was provided the essentials- safety, water, food, & shelter at night. What was provided is much like a boarding service- our pup was anxious, stressed and caked with dirt when I picked him up. Far from what I was led to believe when reading the reviews and profile. If your pup is use to being around other dogs & outside, this is a perfect place! However, if your baby is like mine and is a sheltered, indoor, lapdog- this may not be the best options.
Hey Chayna. Based on the picture you sent of Pepper barking, and that she was barking when we picked up. I should have told you they are mainly inside dogs. She doesn’t like being outside for very long. Willow is much more chill and enjoys being out. Thanks for taking care of them.

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 Homer 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 Homer.
<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 Homer 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.
