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.
“I loved having Kaila watch my dogs! She’s very sweet, sent photo updates, was respectful of the space, locked up the house properly and loved on my boys while I was away. 10/10 would recommend. :)”
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: As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets and your home. I have experience pet sitting and am comfortable following each pet’s usual routine, whether that includes walks, meals, playtime, litter box care, or simply keeping them company. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved - and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I currently have a flexible schedule while I do freelance remote work, which allows me to make pet care a consistent part of my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, and I can adjust my schedule around your pet’s usual feeding, exercise, and bedtime routines. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I follow all care instructions closely and am especially careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and any household rules. I’m respectful of each client’s home, clean up after the pets and myself, and provide regular photos and updates. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away.
“Arsiyana was great with our cat Alan. She was quick to respond and sent many wonderful pictures of our cat. Would recommend her to anyone needing someone to care for their animal.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, from tiny, energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler touch and extra patience. I’m experienced in all aspects of pet care—including feeding, walking, playing, bathing, administering medication, and giving your fur baby all the cuddles they could want. I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and needs, so I always take the time to get to know them and adjust my care to make them feel safe and loved. Whether your dog needs high-energy playtime, a slow walk with extra breaks, or a little help with anxiety or medications, I’m happy to accommodate. I’m flexible with scheduling, available for last-minute bookings, and can handle special routines or requests without a problem. And don’t worry—while you’re away, I’ll send plenty of sweet and silly photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands and having fun I am a college athlete but I always love working with sweet cats and dogs!! If you would like my services please reach out and we can make a custom schedule for the both of us❤️ I love sticking to your pups routine! If that means going on walks, being crated, going on a drive, or just snuggling the couch. I would love to make your baby happy.
About: I've grown up with two English Labs my entire life, and after I left the house, I stayed around animals, working on two farms with farm dogs that followed me around for all my tasks. I love younger dogs that like to play, but with a 14 year old lab at home, I also know how to take care of an old fella. Available most weeknights and weekends, I'm a law student at Mercer so I am busiest on Mondays and Wednesdays but have a relatively flexible schedule. I look forward to meeting you and the dogs! I have an office job that I'm usually at from 8:30am-4:30pm, but my schedule can be more flexible. I am available to come by during my lunch break to let dogs out or take care of whatever you need me to. My fiance is unfortunately allergic to dogs, but I take care of my Mom's two labs as often as she'll let me! I love to play with a dog, my childhood dog was my best friend to play soccer and anything else with. In your home, I'm always extremely respectful of privacy and understand your wants and needs. I also have farm experience if any yardwork is required for longer stays.
“Paige was excellent! She cared for my senior dog and two cats while I was away. Paige took excellent care of them all in a manner not just as a professional, but sincerely cared for my pets. She went out of her way to comfort my dog when fireworks were launched nearby and was patient and proficient in getting my cat to take daily medication. Kind, courteous and professional, I highly recommend Paige!!!”
“Emily did a great job with Appa! I made last minute plans to go out of town overnight and Emily was more than accommodating with scheduling a meet-n-greet. She was very kind and looked like her and appa had a fun time. i’ll definitely be booking her in the future. :) thanks again!”

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.

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.

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.
