“We are so thankful to have been able to book Kaila for Drop In visits to check in on our dog daily during the work week. She does a wonderful job with our dog and also provides us with peace of mind during the long work days!”
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.
“Emily was so great and reliable with both of our babies! She even did a last minute extra visit when we got delayed getting home. Highly recommend! We will be booking again.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and in addition to being a dog owner, I’ve volunteered with several dog rescue organizations as a foster and caretaker. I’m self employed and work from home with a very flexible work schedule. I’m easy going and adaptable to last minute plans and changes in schedules. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m comfortable walking dogs on leashes, playing with dogs in the backyard, and adhering to any special circumstances regarding the dogs health and or behavior needs.
About: I have been caring for dogs for most of my life since my early teenage years, almost 20 years ago now. My oldest dog prior to their passing was 15 years old and was with me from when they were a few weeks old, so I have experience with dogs at all life stages including senior care for dogs. I have pet-sit for friends and family many times over the years and always ensure that all pets have the best care possible and are well taken care of and know they’re loved. I take care of all animals in this way and would be happy to help take care of your precious babies, also! I have a free schedule throughout the week for any day availability, including weekends! I am able to do drop-ins and/or overnight stays if needed. I make sure to follow the routine set by the pet owners as clearly as possible, ensuring all animals have access to food, water, bedding, bathroom areas (inside or out), and whatever else they may need (i.e. specific things like medication, etc.). I also show plenty of love and affection to all pets and do my best to help them feel safe and know that they are in good hands.
“Cecilia helped me out in a pinch and took great care of my babies. They made a big mess while I was gone and she cleaned it up no problem. She responds quickly and can cater to any special requests. Book her!!”
“Sean is the best groomer. We have had several meet ups and today he did our large Akita mix and two large bull dogs as well as our small elderly pack member- they look perfect. Nail clipping is always a chore but Sean comes to you and handles each individual dog carefully and respectfully according to their needs! Highly recommend!”
“Arsiyana was AMAZINGG she sent pictures and updates every time she stopped by my cat Ashtray loved her. She was wonderful and I would definitely recommend her for any of your future trips if your looking for someone to love you cat like it’s their own.”
About: I've owned & taken care of animals from all walks of life. I currently have a 16 year old Blue Heeler, Calvin, & my newest best friend, a 6 month old Dalmatian puppy, Ivy. I also have 2 five year old cats, Escargot & Fugu. I'm experienced in fostering and rescue and I've raised several animals from puppies and kittens, but I have an extra soft spot for seniors. Ivy has been trained by Serenity k9 here in Macon and I am very well versed in prong collar & E-Collar training. I'm super active (walking/running a minimum of 2 miles a day), have a Subaru for transportation, and both of my dogs are trained and friendly. I work full time, but I work 4 days on, 3 days off. I go for regular walks and can work out a schedule for mid -day potty breaks if necessary on a working day. I prefer in-home visits for your animals. I can come up to 3 times a day (more if needed), go on regular, short or long walks, and spend plenty of time with your animals. I believe in scooping litter boxes EVERY day. I have a Dalmatian puppy that enjoys all other animals if your dog would like company on an outing. I can administer medication orally, topically, or through injections. I'm well versed in senior and puppy care and capable of lifting 50+ lbs. My dogs are professionally trained by a certified trainer and I know how to use most types of collars (E-Collar, prong, etc) properly. I can bathe your dog or deliver them to a groomer of your choice. I have my own car & extra crates and carriers if necessary. For boarding, I have a fenced in yard & 2 dogs of my own, both fully trained, vaccinated, & friendly with other trained dogs. I have secluded rooms (with sound machines & a/c) for crating dogs while at work.
About: Hi, I’m Peyton! I’m a responsible and dependable pet sitter with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a college student-athlete, I’m organized, active, and committed to providing pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am currently unemployed, so pet care is fully possible for me! I am very flexible with whatever you need me to do for you! I have a fenced yard, and if I am not letting dogs out into fence yard, I use the leashes to keep them very safe
About: I have a lot of experience working with animals. I worked at Indian Peaks Veterinary Hospital for 2 years, as a foster provider for Life is Better Rescues in 2014, and as a intern for marine mammals in Peru during the summer of 2016. In addition to my job experiences, I grew up with both dogs and cats which allowed me to gain additional experience in caring for animals. I have my own puppy who is very sweet and friendly and would love to have fur friends come stay with us. I can guarantee I will care for your animals as if they were my own! :) I am energetic, trustworthy, and flexible with care and scheduling! I attend Mercer Law which is currently in hybrid mode because of COVID, so I take majority of my classes online and therefore have a more flexible schedule. I can provide any additional information you may be interested in knowing before selecting the perfect caregiver for your animals. I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Macon on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 303 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Macon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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.

- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
