About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have always had pets in my home. I currently have three dogs of my own, ranging from 9 to 65 lbs, and I’m also an experienced foster for both dogs and cats. Over the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of fostering and helping 24 animals find their forever homes. My fostering experience has given me hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all personalities, including those with anxiety, nervousness, and behavioral challenges. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. All dogs in my care receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, along with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! While I work full-time, my schedule allows flexibility during the day for walks and drop-ins, and I’m able to come home during lunch to let pets out. My own pets are let outside 2–3 times before I leave for work and spend the entire evening out and about with me. Dogs in my care will receive multiple leashed walks throughout the day, plenty of attention, and lots of companionship. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family! Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, my pets have their own dedicated room, and each has their own crate for a safe, comfortable space to retreat to when needed. All pets are fed separately to help prevent food-related issues and ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. The pet room is quiet and away from the regular activity and household noises, giving pets a calm place to relax. Dogs that get along well are welcome to spend time together throughout the home, while pets who prefer one-on-one attention can have individualized time with me. I’m also able to rotate pets as needed so everyone gets plenty of time out, exercise, attention, and companionship. Pets are welcome to roam throughout the home and relax on the furniture when that is allowed in their own home. I do my best to maintain their normal routines and boundaries while providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment.
About: I can't remember a time in my life I did not have my own pets. I have taken care of my own pets all of my life and am a lifelong animal caregiver. I have experience as a foster mom for an animal rescue as well and I enjoyed taking care of so many different babies and helping them find their forever homes. I have always had both cat and dog companions and have advocated and helped friends and family with their pets as well. I currently have a senior dog, a senior cat, who have both been with me for over 13 years, three cats who are two years old and a leopard gecko!

About: My experience with dogs goes back as far as I can remember. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and they always will be! I have been paid to train dogs on occasion, and I have also grown up with many dogs of all sizes. I’ve had numerous German Shepherds, pitbull, labs, shih tzu, you name it. I currently have a female German Shepherd who is 4 years old and a female German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix who is 2 years old. Both dogs are spayed and trained. My German Shepherd likes to bark at people initially, but has never bitten a person or a dog, and always has a blast with them after sniffing them out for about 5-10 minutes. My German Shepherd can be separated from your pup if you feel more comfortable that way. My younger pup absolutely loves any and everyone new dog or human! I have a small fenced in back yard and porch and live on a road that isn’t busy so there is little worry of traffic. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and look forward to meeting and having a blast with yours! I currently work part time remote so I’m home all of the time and available to tend to your dog’s needs any time of the day. I have a fenced yard along with 2 fun dogs of my own to keep your pup company at all times! I will be sure to keep your dog safe as if he/she is my own and they will get as much play time as you would like them to have!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since COVID. I’ve pet sat and house sat for many other pet owners in the past. I have lot of experience with cats and dogs since I currently have four cats and two dogs. I have experience with pets with health problems as one of my cats is prone to UTIs. Im currently a stay at home girlfriend who just focuses on renovating our home with various house projects, playing and taking care of our lil zoo, and works on mysmall business. Since I do everything for myself, my partner, or our animals I have a very flexible schedule. I am clean and tidy and more than happy to adhere to any rules that pet parents might have. If walks or potty breaks are needed I’m more than happy to get out stretch my legs and can even offer playtime for dogs or cats who think they’re dogs.
“Kristen absolutely went above and beyond to make sure our dog was taken care of while we were away! I could tell from the pictures that he was in good spirits, and she was very communicative about how he was doing. Thank you Kristen!”
About: I would love to walk/ hike with your pet, care for it at your home, or drop in to let them out. I have always loved animals ever since I was little. My first job was a pet sitting service, I was frequently asked to watch neighbors dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, etc. My friends often rely on me to take care of their animals while out of town and I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. My dog passed away earlier this year and I won't be ready for anther dog anytime soon, but I would love to share love with your animals. I work seasonally and am currently off for my winter season. I would love to spend time with your animals either at your home or on walks/hikes! I can not watch pets in my own home but in my client's home I make sure to follow their rules and ask the important questions up front. I make sure to not leave pets alone too long and to be there for feeding times and to keep them company at night.
About: As much of a people person I am, I’d consider my self equally as much of a pet person! I love to engage with animals and learn about their personalities and engage with them in whatever environment keeps them happy and healthy! I work full-time, 4 days/week with 1 off day during the week. My evenings and weekends are pretty flexible and I’m willing to work with whatever accommodations that may be required of me. Due to the lack of roaming space in my apartment, I don’t usually host pets in my home plus I have my own pup to tend to! 😌
About: I have had many years of pet sitting my four legged family members, minus the pay; however, I enjoyed it every moment of those amazing opportunities! All my other jobs are very flexible, in other words I am self-employed. Therefore, I am looking for all long term families to work with! We will all have plenty of outdoor space to get great exercise, plus cool indoor space to cool off on those hot, fun days! Also, I would love to take them to any dog parks.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in McCalla is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 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 1,047 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McCalla. 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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
