“Megan stayed overnight with my two older dogs, one who is very nervous around new people. She was very patient when she met Maggie and it did not take long for her to calm down. The dogs were happy and my home was clean and tidy when I got home. Megan was very professional and I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have had pets my whole life, I love every furry pet as if it was my own! I work during the day at home and I am able to be flexible around walking times and will be able to follow any instructions. I’ve managed giving pets medication if your pet needs any type of medicine when in my care I can assist! I will enjoy helping with your furry loved one! I have one small shih tzu named Oreo she loves playing with other dogs and going on walks. She is one year old and super friendly. I look forward to meeting each new fluffy face! Thank you and please let me know how I can assist your family and your fur babies! Feel free to ask any questions prior!
About: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience and 15+ years caring for my own animals, I treat every pet like family. I’m dedicated to providing personalized care, your way, ensuring your pet feels loved and safe while in my care! My open weekly schedule is a little bit tricky due to me working full-time about 20 minutes away. My availability on those days would only be to the pets who don’t need to be let out side for about an eight hour period until I got home. Otherwise, my weekend schedule is fully open and I can be home all day to let any pets outside that I would need to. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and walks—with help from my two kids (ages 9 and 11) to keep them company. Pets are welcome on my furniture! In your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and tailor care to your pet’s needs in any way you request.
About: Hi! I have had dogs since I was born. Older, younger, smaller, larger, much larger. I have been dog watching since around age 14 or so. I currently have one chiweenie (13), my sweet baby, whom I had to leave for a bit because of schooling, though I tend to her weekly. I also volunteer at a nearby animal shelter to help out the understaffed staff with all of their animals as well! I am currently working part-time as of now, but I will be very open as soon as I begin to gain a clientele! Message me or request times, and I will be very happy to come sit your pups! I will mostly be offering client home sittings, as my home is on a non-fenced, multi-acre piece of land. Safety for your pup is very important to me, so we might take a trip to a nearby dog park if they are residing with me for an allotted time.
About: I will treat your babies as well as treat mine! Whether it's an epic high-energy walk, a rigorous backyard fetch session, or low-key couch snuggles, I'm fully here for it. You'll get plenty of daily photo updates to keep you in the loop while you're away. Living with four dogs and a cat of my own, caring for pets isn't something I have to squeeze in—it’s already my whole day-to-day life. My routine is pretty much non-stop morning walks, mid-day sniffing sessions, evening yard play, and endless couch snuggles. Seamlessly fitting your pet's feeding times, potty breaks, and favorite quirks into my daily rhythm is just second nature to me! When I’m in your home, my main goal is to keep your pet’s normal routine so they barely even notice you're gone. I strictly follow your feeding schedules, walk routes, and house rules, while making sure your space stays clean and respected.
About: I’m a young professional that just moved into the area and looking for some part time work.. I’ve always loved and cared for animals my entire life, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have watched and taken care of my friends and family dogs since I was young. I’ve had close friends go on trips for weeks / months and would take care of their pets with great care. know how important it is to find a right person to watch your pet, and with my background and my professional nature, I know you’d feel More at ease knowing everything will be okay. Would love to help out when you’re in a tough spot and for you not having to worry about the care of your pet. I’m very respectful and reliable and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out. I currently work during the week until 3 pm, but have the ability during lunch to check in and tend to the animals. I’m available after 3pm any day during the week. There are currently two dogs and a fenced in backyard at my property. Ideally would rather pet sit at your location but in tough situations I can use my house.
About: Safe, clean, and paw loving home. I pay attention to details. I also keep my furry babies very busy when in my care. I love what I do. I maintain a safe, clean, and paw loving home. I am very passionate about taking care of dogs. Im trustworthy and responsible. Their happiness is my happiness. I have a secure fenced in backyard. Dogs will be free to roam my home.

About: Pets are family, and I understand how much trust it takes to place their safety and well-being in someone else’s hands. My dog is my everything, and he has his own unique quirks and special accommodations, so I know firsthand that pet care is never one-size-fits-all. I will take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, preferences, and individual needs while carefully listening to your requests. My goal is to care for your pet the way you would, whether that means extra patience, a favorite walking route, a specific feeding routine, special accommodations, or plenty of cuddles and reassurance! I will treat your pet like one of my own and provide warm, attentive care that helps both you and your pet feel safe, comfortable, and at ease. I work full time during the week, so pet care fits best into my evenings and weekends, when I can be fully present and give each pet the attention they deserve. I’m available for weekend walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays, and I plan my schedule carefully so I never overcommit. Caring for my own dog is already an important part of my daily routine, so walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of love come naturally to me! I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routines. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, walking routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special instructions or accommodations they may need. I will treat your home with respect and care for your pet as closely as possible to the way you would. This includes providing meals and fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, bathroom breaks, and plenty of affection based on your pet’s individual preferences. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away!

“You’re not going to find a more attentive and caring house and pet sitter than Michael. I am so happy and relieved that our paths crossed and will only be using his services going forward for further needs. His care for my home and 3 cats went above and beyond. He cleaned my fridge, first floor, and windows! One of my cats got sick repeatedly, even requiring a vet visit and home medication administration, and Michael tended to these needs with enthusiasm. You won’t go wrong choosing Michael to look after your home and animals!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 564 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lanier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lanier walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lanier maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lanier choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lanier. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
