“I have used Aimee R. Multiple times to keep my dog Ace and have always been extremely satisfied! I know my Ace is well taken care of when he is with Aimee. Ace loves visiting Ms. Aimee and is always so relaxed and calm after being with her. No more anxiety from being at the kennel with multiple pets. If you need a safe loving home away from home for your fur baby. Ms. Aimee is the person!🥰”
“I got a good vibe from her. She sent pictures of Zxotic and provided excellent feedback for our puppy. He seemed very happy with her because when arrived he was still jumping towards her. Thanks for everything!”
“I’m a repeat customer, and Miss LeKesha handles and takes great care of my pup. I had a flight that got delayed and she was very understanding about the situation. She’s one that is highly recommended!!”
“Stephan was absolutely wonderful!! His home is wonderful for hosting dogs - very spacious and secure. He is very communicative and kept us updated with pictures and texts. He is worth every penny - our girl Stella had a wonderful time and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing she was in great hands!”
“Berniceaa took good care of Max. He was so happy and cheerful when we picked him up, also his gift bag was greatly appreciated. I will definitely use Berniceaa's services again! Ms. Thomas”
“Kira is an amazing pet sitter. I felt 100 percent confident in her ability to care for my babies. She provided daily updates and photos. She made my pets feel at home and calm. Thanks, Kira!”
“Rebecca was a great sitter for my dog Barney and will definitely use her again. I had a last minute weekend request and Rebecca responded extremely quickly, answering questions I had and even providing a photo of her fenced yard before booking. While Barney was staying with her I got lots of updates and photos/videos of his time there. He settled in quickly with her beautiful dog Moose and it seemed like they had lots of fun!”
“Mary is awesome!! She is an all-around animal Whisperer. She came to my house to check up on my cat while I was away. She did a house visit ahead of time, and my very elusive cat came up to her right away and within minutes she was petting him. I didn't know how he would do being outdoors a couple of days indoors a couple of days, but she was able to get him to come out from underneath the bed finally after many many minutes of coaxing. She was able to get him to go outside, and then to go back inside several times. I was concerned of how he would do, but she has magic powers, that's all I can say! My dog Ginger went to stay at her house. Mary sent me updates and pictures to show me that Ginger was relaxed and doing just fine. As a matter of fact, I was surprised when I went to pick Ginger up when I got back. I figured she'd be all excited to see me and everything, but she was very calm, and went straight to Mary one last time for goodbye hugs and just rubs. Mary has a kind heart, and great patience, and understands animals and their needs. I recommend her to anyone that needs help with their animals. Thank you Mary!”
“I got to the airport w/ my son, so excited to go my Grandpa's 90th birthday! We'd been planning & looking forward to it for months! There was a bug problem w/ the passports & we had to cancel the entire trip! I wasn't even going to call Claire about it because I figured my dog was already dropped off, so there was no way out but to lose that money too (added the hotel & airline tickets etc.). I called & she was soooo understanding. Btw the "meet and greet" a couple days beforehand went great, her husband & her dog Murphy were so fun and kind to us! She allowed me to pick my dog & get some money refunded (which I really needed!). She had already txt me pics of my dog w/ her Murphy & updated me on how my dog was doing! I even had to drive to her place in the worst thunderstorm & she kindly told me not to rush & helped with directions! As soon as I re-book my trip I will hire her again because she really was so lovely & her home is so warm & welcoming. I recommend her so so much!”
“Mary was absolutely awesome and is the best!!! This was my first Rover booking. Our Peppa has not been away from us and Mary alleviated any fears or concerns that I may have had. Peppa settled in as if she was at home. Mary treated my Peppa like she was part of her family and loved on her so much. Mary is very attentive, caring, sweet, thorough, and has a great love for pets. She sent pictures and videos constantly throughout the stay. She also communicated well throughout the stay which made everything stress free. My dog can be nervous when meeting new people, but she took to Mary right away. Mary has a large fenced yard and plenty of toys indoors which my dog really enjoyed. I recommend Mary 100% and will definitely be using her for future stays.”
“This was my second time using Josie. She’s amazing. I got videos/pictures daily of my babies. They have an amazing place for dogs. I felt so much more at ease knowing that they were with her.”
“Timothy has watched Marley twice now, and we absolutely love him! He is kind, reliable, and truly cares about the dogs he watches. Every time Marley stays with him, I know he’s in great hands. Timothy always keeps me updated with messages and photos, which gives me so much peace of mind. He’s attentive to Marley’s needs, makes sure he’s comfortable, and treats him like one of his own. Marley always comes home happy and well cared for. I highly recommend Timothy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. We’ll definitely continue booking with him whenever we need someone to watch Marley. Thank you again, Timothy, for taking such amazing care of Marley!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irondale
Janet was wonderful. At the meet and greet he introduced my small dog to her small dogs in a neutral area. She showed me around her fully fenced back yard and showed me what shed had done to reduce gaps near the gates and discussed additional measures to contain my escape artist. During an initial overnight prior to a multiday stay she communicated frequently. Sent pictures. Took Seon on a solo walk. It was very reassuring having her tell me each time Seon get a little more comfortable with her. I will be booking with Janet for my next out of town travel
Berniceaa was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped Bella off, we felt confident she was in great hands. Communication was excellent, and we received updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. Bella came home happy, comfortable, and well cared for, which says everything. It’s clear that genuine love and attention went into caring for her. We truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and dedication, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dogsitter!
I left my girl with Alexis for a whole week and it was the best decision ever. She took such good care of my girl. She kept in touch, sent pictures and was very responsive. You can definitely tell my girl was at home with Alexis. 100% will use her EVERY TIME I have to travel. Thank you so much for caring for and falling in love with Nori. I can tell she felt at home with you.
My first time using Rover was a grand experience thanks to Finesse. She was prompt for the booking and responded to my inquiries. She sent photos and videos of my pet. I was able to enjoy my trip will my fur baby was kindly cared for by Finesse. I recommend booking Finesse because I had a peace a mind the entire time away.
Jaliscia was a great host for Boo! She was very attentive and also often communicated information that we requested while we were traveling (including pictures and videos along with his progress of socializing with other dogs at her place). We are grateful to her and her family for taking care of our fur baby boo, and we will certainly book her again if out of town/country and Boo needs a family to watch over him while we are out.
Dominique kept my baby Lola safe and secured while I was out of town for 4 days. I received updates daily with pictures on how Lola was doing. Lola was happy to have playmates with Dominique’s two dogs. I would highly recommend Dominique to anyone and will leave Lola with her again.
This was the 2nd time Kourtnie kept Koby and not only was she patient with him, she kept us informed of his progress while his parents were away. She took really great care of him and I could tell that he also enjoyed being with her. I’m would highly recommend her services!

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 Irondale 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 Irondale.
<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 Irondale 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.
