About: I grew up on a farm helping my dad take care of all sorts of animals from bottle feeding goats to incubating eggs. I’ve also help take care of multiple senior dogs some who needed medical needs. Being a full time photographer allows me to work from home and make my own schedule allowing me to be flexible with my daily and weekly pet care routine. For my morning and evening pet care routine, I like to first take the pet out to potty. From there I prepare their food and get them fresh water. Once the pets is done or seems satisfied with their meal I like to play with them. Before leaving I then let them out/walk for another potty break.
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as i can remember! My family has always had a dog… or two… okay maybe more lol, But I don’t remember a time where we didn’t have a dog family member! I am very experienced with their needs and take wonderful care of all fur babies, not just dogs! I work 40hours a week and have 1 day off not including Saturday and Sunday.I am typically home from work at 6pm and go to work at 6:30am! I follow all rules/directions when caring for animals and do not stray from them. I ensure they receive meals, playtime, and of course snuggles. Whatever they need the fur babies get! In my apartment, we allow all the furniture time they want and free range! My home is theirs when they’re in my care.
About: I’ve worked at the rescue in my hometown for a few years now, I’ve worked in 2 different grooming salons, and have also been involved with some vets. Working at a rescue and a grooming salon gives you so much experience to learn more about each breed and each dog. You get to learn everything about each sweetheart so we’ll over time that you also start to love them like they’re you’re own. I had to deal with almost every experience when it comes to pets as well. I love dogs so very much they have such a soft place in my heart and it’s always great to get to learn about their owners as well when they’re steady customers! Boarding and grooming is something I do full time on my own, I’m home all the time unless I need to run and errand or two. Your pets will get lots and lots of attention their whole stay! We live where there is a fenced in property, 2 large dogs who are very pet friendly. We take up lots of time with pets staying with us to make them feel as comfortable as possible and just because we absolutely love all fur babies!
About: I have volunteered at an animal rescue around a year. I was responsible for fixing them food, water, cleaning their crate and playing with them. I also had a family dog growing up and currently have three cats. I work from home full-time and get multiple breaks throughout the day, so I am always available at home. I am a homebody and have the time to care for animals. I have a fenced in back yard with a grassy area. Pets sitting on the furniture and being around is no issue. I do have three cats, but I am able to keep them separate at all times.
About: Hi! I’m Harrison, a lifelong dog lover, dedicated dad, and someone who knows how important it is to have a sitter you can trust. With a busy family life (and a sweet dogs named Opie and Beesly at home), I understand exactly what pet parents need—reliable communication, safe care, and someone who treats their pets like part of the family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime in the yard, or just a calm place to relax, I make sure every pup feels comfortable, happy, and cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and always focused on keeping your dog safe while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’m not just a sitter — I’m a dog dad myself. Our home is shared with two amazing dogs who have become a huge part of our family. They’re friendly, well-mannered, and love having new furry friends around. One of them, Beesly, is especially great with other dogs — gentle, social, and always ready to play or cuddle depending on what the other pup prefers. The other dog just does his own thing and sometimes will play. I’d make a great dog sitter because I approach every dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. As a dedicated dog dad, I know how important it is to leave your pup with someone you can truly trust. I take that responsibility seriously. I’m calm, reliable, and always focused on creating a safe, comfortable environment for every dog that stays with me. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, playful, or needs a little extra reassurance, I take the time to understand their personality and make sure they feel right at home. I provide consistent communication, daily photo updates, and follow your dog’s routine exactly—because I know how much those little details matter. With years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, I’m confident, prepared, and attentive in any situation. Your dog won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for, understood, and treated like family. That’s what sets me apart.

About: My husband and I have an English Cocker Spaniel who is about 2 years old. He is energetic, loves friends, digging holes, and a good nap on the couch.

My husband also helps with pet care before and after his work day. We have a fenced in yard, live close to a park where we can talk long walks, have hardwood flooring so no mess is too messy! We are centrally located and can travel just about anywhere in the area!
About: I have two of my own kitties, but have cared for both cats and dogs for many, many years. I love being outdoors and there’s really nothing quite like a stroll with a sweet pup in tow. I currently work for the school system, and I have great work hours and many breaks throughout the year that allow flexibility in my schedule. I understand how important it is to take trips away with loved ones, friends, and family. How special it is to make memories with the ones you love, but it’s always been nerve-racking for me to leave my fur babies.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Macon stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Macon 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Macon with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
