About: All Dog and Cats are welcomed !! I’ve had a dog since I could remember. Every time I come across any other dogs they become so clingy and don’t leave my side.

I Also will start early in the morning for feeding , play time and walks. I can also make the dogs as part of my weekly routine I have a large room for playing and zoomies.

“This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous. We had a meet and greet with Ashley prior to his first stay. She had a wonderful set up and after speaking with her and meeting her fur babies and learning of her experience, I immediately felt at ease. During his stay, if I text to ask about him, I was sent updates with pictures and videos. I love the fact that I can go to work and be at ease knowing my Zeus is being loved and properly taken care of!!!”
“I love her!!! She’s a better dog mom to MY dog than me. She feeds him well and plays with him the entire time. My dog is so happy to have playmates. When he leaves he sleeps like a baby. The best part is she noticed a problem that I didn’t. So glad to have her”
“I had such a wonderful experience with Tito’s sitter! 🐾❤️ She took amazing care of my little guy and was very detailed with her communication, which I truly appreciated. She kept me updated throughout his stay and made me feel comfortable knowing Tito was happy, safe, and being well cared for. He came home happy and playful! 🥰 I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and communicative sitter. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐶💕”
About: I have been a pet owner for over 30 years, of all breeds of cats and dogs. My home has always been the go to home for family and friends to bring their pets when they go on trips. I am currently taking online classes, and not working. I have time daily and nightly to provide care and fun activities for pets. Unless previously discussed with client, Sundays are reserved for family and church, but I’m available every other day. I have a very pet friendly home where your fur baby will be allowed to be who they are and I have a nice gated dog park in my complex
“My star had an amazing time I'm assuming due to her coming home always worn out like she worked a 9 to 5 job i truly loved how she was exhausted from daycare but my only concern was my baby girl didn't eat neither time she was there should would come home very hungry and her food was never touched that I sent with her not sure if their feeding time was after 6pm but she usual eats before 5pm but other than that my Lil fur baby seems like she enjoyed herself.”
About: Ive worked with many dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Im committed to provide each pet with the care and attention they need while their owners are away.

About: My name is Ashlee. I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past few years, I’ve started caring for others after my sweet Chihuahua name Jezzie pasted away due to old age. I have experience caring for dogs and cats with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds, including fostering. I work from home so your baby will get nonstop attention. I only board small to medium size dogs (Less than 30 pounds, I will accommodate outside of that on some rare occasions- feel free to ask). I specialize and care for lots of puppies, elderly dogs that need extra medical care. I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! ***PLEASE NOTE:*** ***PLEASE NOTE:*** IF your male fur baby likes to “Mark” his territory, please consider another experienced and qualified sitter- Please Do Not attempt to book with me. I thrive to keep a clean, sanitized and fresh smelling home for humans (big and small) and fur babies. Thanks I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. I am available most weeks 7 days a week and I am open to accommodating emergencies as well. I live in a townhouse/condo with a front and back yard. There are sidewalks where we can go for a walk and a doggy park near by. I ensure water is accessible at all times- if pet is a free eater- food will be accessible as well. I ensure the baby gates are up and leashes are readily in site for potty breaks. I do not mind providing baths as well if your fur baby has a little too much fun outside.

“Tiffany was a sweet personable young lady. She sent me pics and I felt comforted knowing my gal pals were taken care of. Her kids met me at the door with big smiles and energy! Her location is very convenient to me. Thanks again Tiffany ??”
About: Hi, my name is Bryana Hardy. I'm 22 years old. I've been around dogs since I was born and have I've gotten almost every dog I put my eye on. I've always had a passion for dogs, which I balance alongside my career as a hairstylist. In 2022, I played basketball at UCF, and in 2023 I worked over night at an overnight puppy boarding facility in Roswell called "puppy haven", where I cared for and played with dogs daily. Now, I'm excited to offer part-time pet sitting, so I could still be able to enjoy what I love which is meeting new dogs and do hair on a more flexible schedule... alongside my work I am a pet owner myself I have 5 dogs , including my 2 goldendoodles Jax and Skylar which I love more than anything in the world so I understand a lot about dogs and I would love to be able to give you a great experience. I'm currently working for myself as a hairstylist, so I'm very flexible and could make any schedule work. As long as you book at least a couple of days in advance your fine and I'm very flexible and reasonable. For the most part my dogs sleep with me they are very well trained and some nights they sleep in there crates. I have a fenced in backyard with no holes for them to get out although I do still watch them and my 2 fur babies who would love to play with them. I do not mind facetiming at all so you don't miss a beat. I also have over 5 crates in every size to put your dog if you would feel more comfortable that way.
About: Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom with a house full of love (and fur). We share our home with two pups, a cat (& a toddler), so I'm comfortable with several animals in my home at once 😄. With managing a busy home juggling everyone's routines (pups, cat, kiddo, and daddy's night shift all included), I've gotten pretty good at patience, consistency, and keeping balance between different temperaments. I have a pup with allergies — special diet, skin care, allergy meds — so if your pup has specific needs (like that or otherwise), no worries here. Your pup will get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles (if they want) while they are here for their Pup Sleepover or Playdate. I'm home most days, flexible, and happy to send photo updates so you can see your pup is happy and well cared for. I am a SAHM so my schedule is relatively flexible. Im available most days (including weekends) and some holidays. Kiddo's naptime is 1pm-3pm but can be shifted for pickups/drop-offs if necessary. I prefer pickups/ drop-offs to between 8am and 7pm so they don't interfere with the kiddo's nighttime schedule. I live on two acres on a dead end street (not currently fenced in but looking to remedy this soon). so there is plenty of space to roam and walk or play well away from the street. I also live close to a dog park that I frequent and would be more than willing to take your pup there for some fenced in running around :) I have 2 very dog friendly fur babies of my own so your pup(s) would always have another doggo to pal around with. But if socialization is hard for your pup I can accommodate that as well.
“Sheavel was a pleasure to work with! Very informative, from calls to video, and I appreciated this communication. Bluey loved being at her home, and I will book again. Thanks again Sheavel!”
“Can highly recommend Rebecca!! Super accommodating and flexible with pick up times and took great care of my fur baby. She has a lovely fenced in backyard and the cutest dog who is a great companion and play mate. We'll be back!!”

Emily has always been the best. King knew exactly where he was at when I turned on her street. Vibes means a lot to me, and feel very safe and secure when he’s with Emily. She was his first sitter, and it feels like leaving him with family when he’s there. Thanks your pictures and videos.
Benny had an awesome day with Thanh! I am super happy and thankful I found her. Benny has a sitter already but I’ve been looking for an additional sitter and someone closer to where I live, and luckily I found Thanh. Today was Benny’s first day with Thanh and I can tell by the photos and videos and by how he is now, that he had a great time. He came happy and relaxed and is taking a nap now. She walked him, played with him, and took really good care of him. She is very professional, friendly, loving with Benny, and an excellent sitter. Her two dogs, Athena and Apollo are sweethearts. We’ll be seeing Thanh again tomorrow. I highly recommend her!!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Irondale commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
