About: I’m the person who actually reads the instructions. I have more than 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m especially comfortable with medium and large dogs and currently accept walking clients up to 70 pounds. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and respectful of the fact that every household does things a little differently. If you tell me your dog eats from a certain bowl, waits at a certain door, prefers a particular route, or has a weird little routine that makes no sense to anyone but them — I’m going to follow it. I’ll also keep you updated with clear notes and photos so you’re not left wondering how things went. I’m not a trainer or medical-care provider, and I don’t administer medications. What I do offer is consistency, patience, careful attention, and reliable care from someone who genuinely enjoys being around dogs. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already spend time each day walking and caring for dogs. I’m available for scheduled walks and drop-in visits during the day and can be flexible when bookings are planned in advance. I especially enjoy building a predictable routine with repeat clients, so recurring weekday walks or regular drop-ins are a great fit for me. I’m also happy to accommodate occasional vacation or one-time visits when my schedule allows. I care for pets in their own home by following their established routine as closely as possible. I pay attention to feeding instructions, potty routines, leash preferences, household rules, favorite toys, and any specific notes you leave for me. I take safety seriously, including securely closing doors and gates, checking leashes and harnesses before walks, and being mindful of the pet’s behavior and surroundings. I also respect your home and belongings and leave things as I found them. During each visit, I’ll provide attentive care, companionship, and clear updates with photos so you know how your pet is doing. I currently provide walks and drop-in visits only and do not administer medications.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m a retired veteran with a flexible schedule, and I provide dependable, attentive care to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like family. I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and can provide dependable care, exercise, companionship, feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins when you need them. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s routine, ensure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment, and keep you updated with messages and photos. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Tricie provided wonderful care for Cooper and Archie! She was very professional, communicative and detailed. Tricie provided daily photos of both Cooper and Archie. Based on those photos there is no doubt A & C enjoyed their playtime with Tricie too! Tricie brought in the took out the trash and brought in the mail, pkgs., etc. She kept the litter box cleaned daily and refreshed it on her last day of care. Tricie was an excellent communicator regarding the status of A & C! She gave us peace of mind that our fur babies were in good hands. We will definitely call upon Tricie again!”


“Christy was fantastic! From the multiple pictures, to a play by play of exactly how the kitties were doing, we were very impressed. It's obvious that Christy loves animals and takes her job seriously.”

I sit ALL pets in my home and I will bring the pups out to go potty every two hours or based on each pet parents needs and requirements. I can also crate your pups as well if that is a requirement for you. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, ducks, geese, chickens, and roosters. I currently care for backyard animals for a regular client, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, cleaning, and making sure everything stays safe and secure. Pet sitting is my full-time job, allowing me to be fully available and attentive for every booking. My partner Brayden is also on my profile and comes with me to bookings. He has over 10 years of experience working with horses and farm animals, including owning his own horse. Together, we’re confident handling multiple animals and assisting with farm routines and basic horse care such as feeding and turnout. We always follow instructions closely to keep your animals safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I provide full-time, professional pet and farm animal care with a flexible schedule throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. Because this is my primary job, I am able to give each booking my full attention and maintain consistent, high-quality care. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals including chickens, ducks, geese, roosters, and horses, and I tailor my care to each animal’s routine and comfort level. I provide attentive, reliable care with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. I carefully follow all instructions for each pet’s routine, including feeding, handling, and any special needs. I maintain a calm, clean, and respectful environment in every home I care for. I also believe in clear communication and provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away!
About: I have cared for dogs and cats my whole life (walking, giving water, food, and medicine, picking up waste) and have 10+ years of experience with large animals. I am almost always free, which gives me lots of time to spend with your pets! Im heading into my freshman year of college, and don’t have a formal job which leaves my schedule pretty flexible! I try to go over to clients' homes every 2-4 hours for bathroom breaks and walks when every you need. I also feed at which every time you choose. I am able to walk any amount of time or distance you need!
“Mateo was so wonderful with our dogs! He handled all 4 like a pro, even the little one that is blind and requires insulin injections after each meal. We will definitely be calling him back for all our petsitting needs!”

About: I've got multiple years of experience handling a highly anxious dog that can be dog selective during high stress situations. I was the one primarily training my family's two dogs, as well as the one taking them out on as many walks as I was able. I have multiple years worth of experience with senior dogs that had arthritis and who needed to have their food prepped especially for easier eating. I'm currently a student at the University of Georgia and currently looking into part time summer positions, however my schedule is very flexible with daily check-ins and overnight stays during both the week and weekend are very doable. During check-ins, outside of ensuring food and water are available, I would make sure to spend time playing and hanging out with any dog and if I have time to take them on a walk I will. For overnights, I would do the same thing with the only difference being the amount of time I'd be able to spend with the dog.
“Shelby is awesome! She came through without a hitch when we found ourselves in a bind with our 4 cats as we were planning to go on vacation. She was close by and super sweet and even sent pictures. We would love to have her come take care of all our babies in the future.”

About: Relaxed, in-home care for your four legged friend! I have worked in the veterinary field for over 15 years working with a variety of breeds and personalities. Iam competent in administering medications, watching for sicknesses, and dealing with senior pets. I am also a human EMT meaning I work well under stressful circumstances and can process.and thinking clearly in those situations. Your friends are in good hands when in my care. I am currently a homeschool Mom of 2 sweet girls. I have ample time during the day for walks, drop ins, play time, etc. My priority is easing your burden. I do not currently bring dogs to my home, as I have two large dogs of my own. While in your home, I would make sure everything is safe and secure while you are away. I am happy to perform additional small tasks, if requested, for an additional charge. While you are away, I would love on your friend like they are my own, making sure they have everything they need, food, water, bedding, litter, meds, etc, and are safe and content.
About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time from 8 AM-5 PM. I have a long lunch, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day. Drop off/pickup prior to or after work is preferred, except on the weekends when I’m free. If you really need a specific drop off or pickup time, please let me know early so I can try to accommodate that. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.
About: I have my own dachshund that I take care of on a daily basis but also have 3 other family dogs tha range from a dachshund to a german shepherd. I’ve always helped taken care of the family dogs growing up. I work 3 times a week and have school but my schedule is very flexible and I can adjust it around based on what I have going on. Any pet in my home that’s not mine would be treated like my own pets. They would be taken care of all the time. The same would apply in someone else’s home. I would follow a schedule feeding and letting the pets out just like I do with my own.
About: I’ve always been that person who immediately notices the dog before the humans (respectfully 😂). I genuinely love animals and take caring for them seriously. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, prefers a slow stroll, or just wants someone to sit nearby while they judge me from across the room (looking at you, cats), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and I’ll stick to your pet’s routine because I know consistency matters. Expect lots of updates, cute pictures, and the occasional message telling you your dog made a new best friend (me). I’m currently a PhD student, so my schedule has flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is honestly one of my favorite ways to step away from my computer, get outside, and spend time with some furry company. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive when I say I will, and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If your pet is in my care, they’re my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they stay safe and comfortable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel nerve-racking, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can actually enjoy your time away instead of wondering how your fur baby is doing.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 22 years and currently work at the Humane Society of Walton County. Dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals—love them all! I’m energetic, reliable, and happy to give medications or extra care so your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am employed by Humane Society Walton County but my schedule is flexible! I service Monroe, Social Circle, Madison and Covington! Saturdays I'm at HSWC all day so there is unlikely availability on Saturdays. I only accept jobs in clients home, I abide by what the client instructs and respect their privacy and property. I will not accept aggressive dogs. I currently cannot offer boarding in my home until after summer 2026.
About: I have been working at a vet clinic since I was fifteen. I’ve moved through multiple departments, currently i’m working in the groom shop. I love making pets feel pretty! Throughout my years there I have gained plenty of experience with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. As a plus I am confident in administering oral medication for any senior pets. I understand that pets are apart of the family and would be overjoyed to meet yours 💗 I work mon-fri from 7:30am-4:30pm. I am completely free to care for your babies any time outside of that. I am also open to making accommodations for pets that need walking/checking up on during my lunch break at work, as long as the location is close. I hope to soon go part time at my primary job. Which would give me more time for your babies! If you have any questions feel free to DM me! I prefer to care for your pets in your home. My biggest priority is your pets comfort. I find that they are most relaxed and feel the safest when they are in their own home. That being said I do not offer boarding, but I am very open to working in accommodations if needed.

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 Madison 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.

- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
