“Having never used Rover before, I was somewhat nervous. However, our sitter Caylei very quickly gave me the confidence that we made the right choice. She answered my request late at night the day before we were to leave for a funeral, and did an exceptional job making sure our little guy was well taken care of. From the photo updates, to the timeliness of arrival, Caylei was an absolute life saver. We (the dog included) are very much looking forward to using her again for future services! 100/100!!”
“My husband and I had used another pet sitter a month or so ago, and that person was unavailable. We reached out to Darlene sort of last minute and she was so wonderful!! She understood our needs so quickly and adapted so well! We have a 8 year old cat who can be grumpy (mostly with the kitten), and she was able to gain his trust in no time. She came twice a day for a week to check in on our fur babies, and brought in packages that arrived as well. Everything was so seamless and allowed us to enjoy our time away. Thank you!”
“Beverly was amazing! She went above and beyond, not only taking care of everything we asked, but also bringing in our packages, emptying the litter genie, cleaning up after our cats, and even rinsing out the empty wet food cans so they wouldn’t smell (which was very thoughtful since I’m pregnant). 20/10, I would recommend Beverly to anyone! We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for our next trip. Thank you so much again, Beverly!”
“Rachel was amazing with our two kitties. We highly recommend her to take care of your pets. You can tell that taking care of animals is more than just a job to her. She genuinely cares for them. Rachel is detailed and takes care to follow the instructions we gave her. She is quick to reach out with any questions and promptly responds to messages.We will not hesitate to book her again!”
“We have used Maya several times, she's great! We have an elderly cat that needs meds daily. It's so comforting to know when I'm not there I can rely on Maya to check on my old girl ♥️”
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I currently have 5 dogs, 2 birds, a hamster and 4 goats. I would love to be a part of your pet’s journey. I will make them feel loved while you are away. I currently own a food truck with a make your own schedule concept. I am available pretty much all the time. My free time could be spent loving on your babies. I will gladly come to your home several times a day to devote special time to your babies. I am available and flexible with pretty much any schedule. I can stay overnight if needed.
“Alexis was awesome! One of my pups is a diabetic and it was a huge relief to find someone with the knowledge and ability to care for him and give him his shot of insulin. Highly recommend Alexis!”
About: I’ve always been that person who immediately notices the dog before the humans (respectfully 😂). I genuinely love animals and take caring for them seriously. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, prefers a slow stroll, or just wants someone to sit nearby while they judge me from across the room (looking at you, cats), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and I’ll stick to your pet’s routine because I know consistency matters. Expect lots of updates, cute pictures, and the occasional message telling you your dog made a new best friend (me). I’m currently a PhD student, so my schedule has flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is honestly one of my favorite ways to step away from my computer, get outside, and spend time with some furry company. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive when I say I will, and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If your pet is in my care, they’re my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they stay safe and comfortable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel nerve-racking, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can actually enjoy your time away instead of wondering how your fur baby is doing.
About: I have a strong affection for dogs and am very attentive to their needs. I am young and enjoy playing with them in a spacious yard and taking them for walks around the neighborhood. I treat every dog as if it were my own, providing them with love and care. My schedule is pretty much free for walks, visits to the dog park and time to play. Looking forward to possibly taking care of your furry friend I have a strong affection for dogs and am very attentive to their needs. I am young and enjoy playing with them in a spacious yard and taking them for walks around the neighborhood. I treat every dog as if it were my own, providing them with love and care.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was born. I was raised around a husky-collie, yorkies, and mini schnauzers. I have cared for my family members pets as well. My most recent experience stems from volunteering at an animal shelter. I would exercise dogs of various of temperaments and breeds. I am currently an online college student so I have plenty of time and energy to hang out with your pals! I’m free week days so that time while you’re away at work I can give your dog a happy distraction for a bit until you come home! I find working within a dog’s comfort zone works the best. Whatever they’re happy with while also being safe is the environment I’ll provided. That could be avoiding other dogs or taking slower walks. Whatever is needed I’ll do!
“I couldn't be happier with Jennifer. She sent photos and was really good with my dog as the dog was anxious because it was her first time. Jennifer was really good with her. Highly recommend.”
About: I understand how important it is to feel completely comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, so I focus on providing dependable, loving, attentive care while keeping pets relaxed and comfortable in their own environment. What sets me apart is my flexible availability, calm personality, and genuine love for animals. I’m patient with shy pets, attentive to routines and special instructions, and I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals rather than just “checking in.” I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and pets who may need extra attention, slower walks, medications, or a little extra reassurance while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel connected and at ease while traveling. My youngest child has gone off to college, and I’ve lovingly cared for neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ fur babies for years. That’s my grand-fur-baby English Cream Golden in the photo 🥰 I have a very flexible schedule and open availability, so your pets will get lots of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for weekdays, weekends, evenings, overnights, and holidays. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family and always try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. During drop-in visits and walks, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, fresh water, meals (if needed), potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. For overnight stays in a client’s home, I aim to provide a calm, comforting presence so pets feel safe and secure while their owners are away. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes, keep things clean and tidy, and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I’m also comfortable caring for multiple pets, senior pets, and administering basic medications if needed. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual personality, energy level, and routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: Animals have always had my heart. I truly believe every pet deserves to be spoiled with love, kindness, and the best care possible. I have an elderly dog of my own and have raised several puppies, so I understand the extra patience and care that both senior dogs and little ones need. I'll treat your furry family member like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable from the moment we meet. Also, I am a runner. I love to run and if any of your dogs need extra exercise I would love to get one of my runs done with your dog! I am a college student looking for work that I love. Caring for pets doesn’t even feel like working. I will fit in as much as I can as my schedule allows! For sitting or drop-ins, I like to ask as many questions as possible and maybe meet the pet beforehand so that they feel comfortable.
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and would love to help you care for your dog. I currently have an 8 year old rescue named Xander and a 4 year old rescue named Lucy. I work at Dental Sleep Medicine of Athens from 8-5 (sometimes later but only Tuesdays and Wednesdays) Monday-Thursday. I am available any other time, including all nights and weekends. I do not have a fenced yard but will happily walk/feed/play with your dog at your place. My 2 dogs stay inside with me and I walk them daily.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of on a daily basis ranging from 2 months old to 2 years old. I have an American Eskimo, Border Collie/Shih Tzu Mix, and Miniature Goldendoodle. I love playing with my dogs as well as taking them on walks throughout the neighborhood! I currently work in office and am available to drop by twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I am typically at home enjoying my evening if I’m not at work! I can take your dog(s) on walks and/or dog parks. I can visit often to let them out to play in the backyard and to feed him/her.
About: I have two dogs of my very own. I trained my new puppy in basic obedience and house manners, ensuring a harmonious household for my pet. I am currently a student-athlete. I am more available anytime after August 10th! More available in the Winter and Summer breaks. Feel to message me with any questions! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs so your pup can have company. There is also plenty of yard space for your pup to run around.
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved animals. I have always had a family pet and I currently have a sweet puppy of my own, his name is Ollie. In high school I volunteered at local animal shelters and started dog/ farm sitting for friends and family. It is one of my lifetime dreams to open up a doggy cafe and maybe even a doggy day camp. So if you ever need anyone to dog sit, walk your pups, or even just hang out with them for a little while… I am super flexible and more than willing!! I have a very flexible and remote job, so I can always find time to escape to go play with some pups! I’m available more often than not for dog/housesitting, walks, and check ins throughout the week!! My biggest concern is that your fur baby is happy and healthy. Every family is different and every dog may require different needs, I understand that and know that all too well. I am pretty flexible and up for anything to ensure your pup is living their best life. I am a big fan of communication so I will always ask questions if any situation arises. And I will keep you updated with tons of cute photos of your sweet babies.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
