“Ashleigh was great to work with and she took wonderful care of my cat while I was away. She was flexible when I needed a couple extra drop in visits on short notice. So thankful!”
About: Grew up around dogs and love them! Worked at a doggy day care and boarding for over a year. Seen and taken care of all types of dogs and know how to facilitate healthy play. I’ve walked dogs for friends and family, and taken care of dogs while owners were away. I can administer medicine, and have taught dogs basic skills. Working part-time with a very flexible schedule. I’m able to make most times/dates work especially if I know in advance! Can work weekends and during the day. I have lots of energy so can keep your pet well accompanied, but also love to give snuggles. Can adapt well to however you want me to care for your pet!
“Ariela did a good job looking after our two cats while we were out of the country. I would not hesitate to recommend her. This was the first time we used Rover and we were satisfied with the services.”
About: We’ve fostered 6 dogs over the past few years including one who became our foster fail. Our experience with rescue dogs has taught us how to earn a dog’s trust and how to care for dogs with different needs. We also only accept one client at a time to ensure your fur baby has our undivided attention. Tanner works from home 5 days a week, and Natalie has a hybrid work schedule. We also take our dog on a walk along our neighborhood trail at least once a day and would be happy to bring your pup along with us. We have a fenced in yard and a dog that loves to play. If we need to leave the house, we prefer to have our doggy guests crated, but we will minimize crate time as much as possible. We will provide pictures of your dog throughout the day to keep you updated. We ask that the dogs in our care are up to date on vaccines.
About: **I have base access.** I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have five dogs, ranging from 1 to 9 years old and from small to large breeds, and all five have successfully completed the Canine Good Citizen course. I also have a cat who is almost 10 years old, and my previous cat lived to be an amazing 24 years old. Caring for my pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, exercise, training, and, most importantly, giving each animal the love and individual attention they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I would treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m a stay-at-home mom and currently only work two days a week, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to be available for pet visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and other care throughout the day. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and give them the time and attention they need while their owners are away. I provide pet care in your home, where your pets are already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I believe staying in their own home can make your time away much less stressful for them because their routines, food, toys, sleeping areas, and everything they’re used to are already in place. I’ll follow your instructions and your pets’ normal routines as closely as possible, while giving them plenty of attention, playtime, care, and affection. My goal is to make your time away as easy and comfortable as possible for both you and your pets.
About: I love animals. I was a former foster pet parent. We ended up adopting. We have adopted three dogs and they are our families world. Can’t imagine life without them. I’m able to help with your pet after my work hours and before my 8 hour shifts at the hospital and on the weekends as needed. Would love to pet sit or walk your animals. I love pets and helping when needed. I usually work 8 hour shifts at the hospital.
About: I have had many years of animal care! I have been volunteering in animal shelters since I was 16 and have previously walked dogs in Chicago for a few months! Most recently, I was on a volunteer team that helped train rescued puppy litters. I am currently a dental student that does not have the time for a full time job, but will always make time for some furry friends! I live in a gated apartment community with grassy areas within. There are no other animals in my apartment. My area is very walkable and I would love to be able to do so with your pet!
About: Hi! I’m Alesha, a reliable and caring pet lover based in the area. I’m new to Rover, so I’m currently offering discounted rates to build my client base. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and can help with walks, drop-ins, feeding, and playtime. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is in good hands. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work full time but I’m looking to make extra money by hopefully walking your dog on weekends or after 5pm on weekdays. I enjoy dogs and being outside and can’t think of a better way to make some extra money than that! I have a black lab that can come on the walk with your pet or not, if you choose not that is fine. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood or take him/her to a park either is fine.
“Paige was absolutely wonderful with our two cats! She kept us updated the whole time and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and comfortable while we were away. It’s clear she has a genuine love for animals, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.”
“Jacquelyn was amazing during her care of Muffin. Despite multiple headaches with an unruly neighbor, Jacquelyn ensured she was always available and issued Muffin the best care. She made my two month long vacation away from Muffin bearable with updates like pictures and videos. if ever I need a sitter or dog boarding, she will be my first choice, and she should be yours too! Book Jacquelyn for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I can drop in and/ or walk a dog anytime. I own two big dogs at home in Arkansas (Doberman, & a coonhound/German shepherd mix ) , I took them both to some training. I have owned smaller dogs as well. I am in law school . I have transportation. I can take animals to vet for you, of course you would have to pay for their visit and gas money. I can come over to feed them. I can occasionally stay and pet sit. I currently have a kitten. I am in law school online and substitute teach on the side, so I have a lot of availability but need to plan in advance. I cannot watch at my apartment. But I can be very flexible for your needs, such as walks, visits, taking to appointments, brushing, washing, feeding
“She has been the best thing my fiancé could’ve asked for when it comes to making sure our babies are taken care of. Whether it was the dog, cat, or sometimes both, she showed them the same love and care we show them. I wish there was more I could do to show my appreciation for everything she’s done. Booking rovers for sitting, walking, or just drop in visits is not cheap, but knowing our babies were in safe hands while we were gone is priceless. Thank you Charsy!!”

About: Animals, specifically dogs and cats, have always been a key part of my life. I have a black lab of my own named Indy and she is my pride and joy. There are also several other dogs and cats within my inner circle that I absolutely adore. I know how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your baby, and I would treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m dependable and comfortable following even the most elaborate routine, whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, recovery restrictions, or lots of extra cuddles. I also have several close friends and family members who work in veterinary medicine, including my cousin who is currently in her third year of veterinary school and is always just a phone call away. My schedule is extremely flexible, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Macon is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $17 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 480 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Macon. 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
