“Kaila did an amazing job taking care of Luna! She was reliable, communicative, and made sure Luna was well cared for throughout the booking. I really appreciated the updates and the attention she gave to my dog. I felt comfortable knowing Luna was in good hands. I would definitely book with Kaila again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker. Thank you so much! 🐾”
About: Currently our fur babies are a cat Pebbles that is 9 and Spike our dog that is 3. We have in the past had a beagle as well as multiple cats. Growing up I had cats while my husband has always had dogs And we love both! I work nights 3 days a week at the hospital while my husband is a teacher during the day so someone is always home during the day and night. We have a fenced in backyard for your dog to play in. We also live in a quiet neighborhood if your dog prefers leashed walks.
About: Hi, I’m Heartly! My journey working with dogs and cats began in 2011 when I started volunteering and working at a local animal shelter. Since then, I’ve gained experience in canine and feline behavior, professional grooming, training, and overall pet wellness. After earning my grooming certification in 2017, I continued expanding my knowledge and skills while working with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My experience has taught me the importance of patience, understanding, and building trust with every pet in my care. I’m passionate about providing dependable, personalized care that helps pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, getting some exercise and enrichment, or spending time together during a drop-in visit, my goal is to ensure your dog or cat receives the attention, care, and affection they deserve while you’re away! As an experienced pet care professional, caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I prioritize reliable scheduling, individualized attention, safety, and fun! I have a flexible schedule that’s focused on availability for my clients. Every drop-in visit is centered around your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. From fresh water, potty breaks, and feeding to playtime, enrichment, and affection, I tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs and routine. My goal is to build trust, provide dependable care, and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in experienced, caring hands.
“Rachel went above and beyond during her walks with Pippin. She was always on time, sent great photos and provided a detailed note. She took Pippin on nice long walks which I really appreciated! I will definitely be using her again in the future.”

As such, I pride myself on following owner instructions carefully, and treating the pets I watch and the homes I enter with the same love and respect I treat my own with.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets ever since my first dog at age 11. Since then I’ve been walking, feeding, bathing and caring for friends and neighbors pets often. I love animals and the outdoors so it’s become a dream job for me. I work on the weekends so throughout the week I can give your pets my full undivided attention. Monday through Thursdays I usually spend studying alone so it would be nice to have furry company! I have a fenced in backyard that’s perfect for any dog. Although I don’t have any pets myself all my neighbors have furry babies and I have the perfect neighborhood for walks. I spend most time outdoors so I don’t mind going out. I enjoy taking the dogs on walks or to the park. Pets who like the indoors will have their own bed at my house. I will rarely dog sit at another person’s house but there can be a few exceptions.

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have potty trained numerous puppies and have taken care of my own and friends for 20 plus years. I have given medication for allergies and diabetes. Since retiring pet sitting is enjoyable to me especially since I dedicate all my time to giving attention and care to all kinds. I mostly prefer dogs and cats though I did grow up with horses and rode all during my youth. So horses is also a plus for me. I would love the opportunity to take care of your fur babies. I am retired and have a lot of time on my hands and what better way then to play with fur babies. I have had a dog inside of the home since I was 2. At this time I cannot board dogs due to my dogs. They are in an underground fence system which gives them run of the front and back yard if my home.

I currently have a lot of free time on my hands and therefore have a very flexible schedule which allows me to properly care for your fur babies! I pretty much offer to attend to your pets most basic needs including feeding them, taking them to potty, administering medications, and playtime but I do take requests if there’s anything extra needed

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Macon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Macon after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
