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: With over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, loving animals has always been second nature to me. I’ve had dogs my entire life—they’ve never been “just pets,” but true members of the family. Creating a safe, loving, and happy environment for them brings me so much joy. I’m home during the day, which allows me to give your pet plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. It would truly be our pleasure to welcome your furry family member into our home and treat them like one of our own while you’re away. Pet sitting fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give your pet consistent attention, plenty of potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love. I enjoy a peaceful home environment, which makes it easy to provide a calm, comforting space for pets to feel safe and relaxed. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or giving a little extra TLC, I’m able to be fully present and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. Inside, my home is a calm and welcoming environment where animals are truly treated like part of the family. I have one large, friendly dog who enjoys the company of other pets and helps create a playful atmosphere. I provide care where your pet will receive lots of love, attention, and personalized care in a safe and cozy setting.
“Paw-some job as always! James has been my go to dog/house sitter for years even before becoming a registered sitter on rover. He really takes care of things as if they are his own, if not better! This time he came to feed our 4 dogs while we were out of town. He couldn’t find where the water dish was for our back yard so he filled one up just in case. I appreciate James so much and hope more people come to know him as the dependable person he is.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Macon
Zion did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. One is a little shy with new people, but it didn’t seem to take him long at all to become comfortable. I received photos from each visit and was kept well informed on how things were going. It was so nice having that piece of mind while away. I had a few things I asked of Zion that I felt may have been a little outside of the norm, but she handled those with no problem. I will definitely book with her the next time I am in need of a sitter and would recommend her to anyone.
Elizabeth was everything you'd want in a sitter. Good communication, tons of photos, offering to prorate extra visits, staying longer without being asked. Our new pup has separation anxiety and this was his first experience with a pet sitter - he LOVED it!!! We will definitely be using her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Macon is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 309 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 .
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 , 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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
