“If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your dogs, Kaila is the one. She has been absolutely wonderful with our two doodles, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. She is always on time, communicates well, and is incredibly dependable. What has impressed us most is how quickly our dogs bonded with her. They genuinely look forward to seeing her, and that gives us so much peace of mind when we’re away or at work. Kaila has also been so accommodating whenever we’ve needed to adjust our schedule or add weekend drop-in visits. She has always been flexible, kind, and willing to help, which has made a huge difference for our family. Finding someone who treats your pets like they’re her own is rare, and that’s exactly what Kaila does. I recommend her without hesitation. If you’re considering booking her through Rover, don’t think twice. Your pets will be in excellent hands.”
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: 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.
“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: 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.
“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.”
“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!”
About: I have two pitbulls of my own. I don't care about dog hair or licks. I just love dogs and would love to get to know more about different breeds. I'm a a full time student at college and work part time. I have enough time to take care of any dogs big or small. I have a long fence yard for my dogs to do there business and get some fresh air, they sometimes sleep with me or on the couch.
About: With me being a dog mom myself, I know what it's like to want nothing but the best care for your pet. I have over 6 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, including puppies and senior dogs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and focus on providing a safe, loving, and stress free experience while you're away. I understand that every dog has different needs, whether that's extra exercise, patience with a puppy, or gentle care for a senior pet. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire booking. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to spend my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I work around my schedule to provide dependable care before and after school. I have open availability on weekends. I make sure every booking receives the time and attention it deserves, and I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and playtime. I follow all care instructions closely, making sure pets are fed on time, given fresh water, walked or let out as needed, and given attention so they don’t feel stressed or alone. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos for a peace of mind.
“Kathy and her son took great care of my nervous pup. He is a good dog, just doesn't like to be keneled or boarded. Prefers to stay in his own home. This works great for my peace of mind and his well being. Will be booking again!”
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
“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!!!”

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 .

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.
