“Awesome sitter! They took great care of my two dogs for five days and kept me updated throughout the stay with daily messages and updates on how they were doing. It was clear that my dogs were happy and well taken care of, which made me feel much more comfortable being away from them. No complaints at all, and I would absolutely book with them again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Olivia will be our go to person when we need a sitter if she’s available. She kept me informed and sent pictures during our trip. We were nervous since we haven’t had to leave Kelsi with anyone, but Olivia put us at ease. The quiet home atmosphere and Olivia’s warm personality was exactly what we were looking for. Kelsi was content and we will not hesitate to leave her again. Thank you Olivia for taking such good care of our senior lady. Do not hesitate using Olivia. Your loved one will be in good hands.”

About: I have helped with animals my whole life. We’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, parakeets. I enjoy playing and taking care of them. My friends have paid me to watch their homes and pets while they were out of town. I am a full time student but I’m currently online so I’m on the computer for maybe 2 hours at a time but I can take breaks and give pets the attention that they need. I have two cats that love new friends and are very friendly. We have a big ack yard but no fence soo I could walk them on a leash and I live in a nice neighborhood where many people walk there dogs.

About: Hello! 🤩 I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. My goal is to help them feel like they’re part of the family while they’re here! We take walks, play a lot and give them tons of cuddles! 🐾 We aim to be their “home away from home” and provide a loving environment where every dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared-for, ensuring their routines, exercise, and comfort are a top priority. As a homeschool family, we’re home throughout the day, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Our flexible schedule allows us to include walks, feeding, and cuddle time naturally in our daily rhythm—your pet becomes part of our family’s routine. We have two dogs, Balto and Bayleigh. They are friendly and love meeting new friends. We live on 25 acres, and have cultivated a friendly environment for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. 😊

About: What sets me apart is that I am patient, caring, and treat every dog like they are my own. I’m attentive to their individual needs and routines, whether they’re energetic puppies, playful adults, or sweet senior dogs. I’m also dependable and make sure your pet gets plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. 🐶❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a dog of my own and genuinely enjoy caring for animals. I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m responsible and flexible, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s specific routine to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while they’re in my care. For boarding I provide a clean and comfortable space, regular meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For daytime walks and check-ins, I make sure your pet gets exercise, bathroom breaks, food if needed, and some love and companionship. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your fur baby. 🐶❤️

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 Howard home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Howard.

<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 Howard 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
