“Seth was the absolute best taking care of willow and peru! Kept me updated with how my pups were doing and followed through with the request I had! Definitely booking again with him!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets, dogs, cats, rabbits. So taking care of pets comes naturally to me. So there is no need to worry if you will be away, your animals will always be pampered and loved in my care! I have a pretty flexible schedule, I work mornings though it can always be adjusted when needed. Taking care of pets comes naturally to me so it’s never a hassle or burden! I owned 2 dogs back from where I lived (they stay with my parents now). It’s hard to be away from my dogs because we had such a strong bond. I take care of my animals very well, they had a good routine and slept in the bed with us, I know right so spoiled. Whenever my husband leaves the room early in the morning, I was never alone because when I turn over there is my dog laying down, looking back at me saying good morning. I know the big responsibilities pets can bring, and id like to help you out with that load. I’m also trying to bring that joy pets bring back into my daily routine.
About: 🐾 Around here, the paw-ty never stops! Zoomies, belly rubs, fetch, cuddle time, & snack breaks, your pet will get lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Don’t forget to CHECK OUT MY GALLERY to see some of my adorable furry friends! I can’t wait to meet your VIP (Very Important Pet)! 🩷 I make pet care a priority by structuring my day around their needs. Walks, playtime, and feeding times are all carefully planned to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. It's like having a furry, fun-sized boss who dictates my schedule! Safety first! Whether it's my place or yours, I make sure the environment is free of hazards. Trust is built through consistent, loving care, and I always respect your home and rules. Basically, I treat every pet like they're my own and every home like it's my grandma's – with lots of love and respect!
“I was very grateful to Michelle for accommodating my pup when work schedules changed last minute, and am confident my pup was well cared for!! Would book again and recommend :)”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for family and friends, including dogs and cats with different needs and personalities. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets happy and safe. My current hours of work are 7:30 am - 3:30ish pm. I’m available throughout the weekend definitely and may possibly be available throughout the day sometimes. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment whether pets are in my home or their own. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions like medications or special diets. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel relaxed and secure.

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 Lakeland 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 Lakeland.
Tip: 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 Lakeland 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.
