About: What sets me apart is the personal care and attention I give every pet. I take time to learn each animal’s personality, routine, and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I own a small business so I am able to make my own schedule if it’s at least a month out. If I do have events then I’ll be gone 4-6 hours max. Other than that I will try to be with your animals as much as possible. Every pet in my care is treated like family, with constant attention to their comfort and well-being. I create a safe, loving space where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.

“After having years of failed attempts on my own, I finally decided to use Rover to find a sitter for my two dogs for a quick overnight out of town. Matthew was the perfect choice to check in on them! He was timely, friendly, asked all the questions a dog mom would need to answer before leaving and left my mind perfectly at ease. I would definitely recommend Matthew to anyone, and plan to use him again, schedules permitting. Thank you so much, Matthew!”

About: Hello! Thanks for checking in! I would be glad to help care for your furry family member 🐶❤️🐈. A little about me--I have had a love for animals since I was young, and I find that I have always felt most at home surrounded by our furry, four-footed family over the years. We have had animals all my life, and we have raised several breeds of dogs including Dalmatian, Cocker Spaniel, Blue and Red Heelers, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Boxer, Standard Poodles, Great Pyranees, and many more loveable mixed breeds. I have taken care of dogs and puppies since I was 5 years old. They were always like family to me, and I have many years of experience of their care and basic command training for puppies using positive reinforcement. I have experience caring for sick and senior dogs as well as every canine that has come into our family has found their forever home and lived out their fullest lives possible. If your pup needs some freshening up, a haircut, or a pedicure, I can help with that. I am a professional pet stylist and member of the NDGAA. I have continued education through NDGAA workshops and worked full-time at a pet salon for a few years while also grooming my own dogs, Standard Poodles, their whole lives (14 years.) I can bathe or groom your dog or trim their nails if needed. I currently work part-time, and I have quite a bit of extra time to care for your pups and kitties. Wednesdays and Sundays are our busiest days, so I will not be able to offer pickup on those days, but the other days are open. I have a fenced yard, and I will leash your dog on walks for extra care. They are free to be downstairs in my home with me and our family, and I will kennel for their safety when and if we leave the home for short errands. For pet care in their home, I can take on walks, let outside into fenced yard, feed, water, and bathe/groom the dogs or trim nails if needed. I also have trained several puppies basic commands using clicker-training and positive reinforcement.

About: I have had cats, reptiles, dogs and fish my entire life! I have had big dogs, small dogs, kittens and geriatric animals. I currently have three dogs at home and two of them are seniors one is a little dog and one is a Rottweiler they they are on medication so I am extremely familiar with senior dog care. I currently care for one cat at home who is 2 and have three more back in Chicago two are kittens and one is 16 so also lots of experience with cats old and young. I was my neighborhoods pet sitter and have had experience with all animals! I have a cat that I care for everyday and I am very timely and consistent with care and feeding. He is extremely independent so that allows me a lot of time to take care of other animals which I am very familiar with when I go back to Chicago and seeing all my dogs and cats! I am super flexible and adaptable like I said I have dealt with all types of ages and breeds so I can handle a lot. I understand and respect boundaries with animals and will follow the owners instructions. I love playing with animals and going outside or to the park/beach so I am more than willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best and safest care.

About: From the time I was born, animals have been a part of my life. My pets are my family and yours will be treated the same. I have a wide range of experience when it comes to animals and care for much more than dogs and cats. That includes….saltwater and freshwater aquariums, hedgehogs, rabbits, reptiles, farm animals such as chickens and goats. I will also water your plants, bring in your mail, and set out your trash cans. I work from home and have a flexible schedule and will make your pet a priority 24/7. Your pet will have lots of love and attention. I do not place them in a crate like they do at a boarding facility. They will be able to sit on the couch if they desire! I have a large yard and allow them to get the exercise they need. I live just across from Greenway and will take them on daily walks.

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet lover who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I work during the week 8-4:30p and am pretty open on the weekends! I am able to accept clients during the week if early morning and late evening work! I prefer pet sitting at the clients home due to I have 2 cats and live in an apartment. The space would be too small.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was seven and have cared for them professionally for the last decade. I love all animals but dogs are my favorite. I work 8 hours per day on average, early mornings to early afternoons. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my weekends. I would care for your pets around this schedule. Your preferences come first. I can improvise in areas where you don’t have specific requests. I’m great with animals and I’m calm in (god forbid) emergency situations.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Lanier

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lanier is $34 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $50 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 1,117 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lanier. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lanier. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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.
