“Jamie was the best! She even went as far as to buy our dogs collars when they needed to be walked on a leash due to landscaping! She is very responsive and keeps you super updated on your pets!! We greatly appreciate her and will definitely use her again!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Mai and Jonathan provided for our pets, Cooper and Bec, while we were away on vacation. From the moment we left, they gave us complete peace of mind with regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication. It's clear that they genuinely love animals and treated both Cooper and Bec like part of their own family. When we returned home, Cooper was happy and well cared for, and Bec was relaxed and content. Knowing that both our dog and cat were receiving such attentive, loving care allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. Mai and Jonathan went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met, and we are so grateful for the kindness and responsibility they showed. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Cooper and Bec, we would gladly have you watch them again!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs through my own experience as a dog owner, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m attentive to their needs, enjoy spending time with them, and will make sure they receive plenty of love, exercise, food, and attention. I’m also happy to follow each pet parent’s specific routines and instructions so your dog can feel at home while you’re away. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available on weekdays and weekends and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I’m happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their space clean and secure, and make sure they receive attentive, loving care while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve been watching my friends and my friends families animals for a few years now while they vacation or anything comes up. I’ve done the walking, the repetitive throws back and forth, and the quick check in during a storm just to make sure they haven’t chewed the house to pieces. I’m naturally an early bird so checking in earlier then my normal 6-3ish work schedule isn’t an issue and anytime after I’m usually free I have a fenced in run area for free running if they’d like. My porch is screened in so they can have the outside time without getting out.
“Shirley was wonderful. She stayed at our home and took great care of our dog while we were away. She was kind, respectful of the house, and very easy to communicate with. We came back to a happy dog and everything exactly as we left it. We would absolutely have her sit for us again and highly recommend her.”
“We re-booked Jenna for a 12-day vacation to care for our elderly two dogs with multiple medical needs. We trust her to care for them, administer their medications, and keep us informed. She sent pictures all along. The dogs enjoy having Jenna as their caregiver! I recommend her as a pet sitter as well to do drop-ins. We have also asked her to check on the dogs, let them out and feed them when we have a function in the evening. She’s a lovely, caring person.”
“Suzanne was nothing but spectacular. She was extremely meticulous with our pets and I was very comfortable having her stay in our home. She went above and beyond with things around the house, inside and out. Watered plants, filled feeders, laundry etc. She was always reachable and sent pictures. I am pretty particular with who I choose to watch our pets and Suzanne exceeded my expectations. ❤️ Thank you, Suzanne!!”
About: I’ve taken care of 6+ litters of puppies, the largest being 10 pups! I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes from bearded dragons to Great Danes! I currently work part time so i have plenty of time to play with your pets! I can house sit whenever I’m not booked, and quick visits will usually be around 8 am and 8 pm. Pet care is entirely up to the owners! If there are specific instructions to pet care let me know and I’ll do my best to cater to your pets needs. I can crate pets if preferred as well.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life but especially since i was 12. The past 3 years I worked as a Veterinary technician and got to learn how take care of and treat all pups. When dogs boarded at my old clinic I would feed, medicate (if needed), water, potty, and especially love on the pups. I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is very open for dog walks, pet sitting, etc. I do have one dog of my own who i take care of everyday! I personally would not board or pet sit at my house but can come over and walk/ pet sit your pups no problem! I can come over and feed, walk, play, and of course love on your pups.
About: I am a huge animal lover I personally have a lot of experience with different types of animals. For example dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, guineas, pigs, cows, goats and a tortoise. I’m always looking to learn and grow my animal knowledge. I will always try my best to provide amazing care and love to your animals, I am a hairstylist and my schedule depends on the week. But my schedule is usually pretty accommodating to any pets needs. I don’t tend to work late hours. I will love and care for your animals like they are my own. I will play with them, feed them, water them and respect them. I would rather watch your animals in your home because of my animals.
“Leigh was fantastic to have house sit for our girls. She communicated frequently about how everyone was doing. Pretty sure the dogs miss her more then they did us. They were in great moods and health. Leigh took great care of the house as well. Fully recommend Leigh!”
“Rosalind stayed with my cat for a few days while I had to travel. My cat Apollo is a special needs baby and Rosalind was sweet and attentive to all his needs. She took really good care of him and made sure he was always comfortable. She has really good communication and updates you throughout her stay. You can 100% trust her with your pets and your house! I recommend her.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and I certainly enjoy being around them and making sure they are loved and cared for. I am extremely comfortable around dogs as well having a knack for quick training. I have had the responsibility of caring for my family pup for the time that I was living with my mother. I miss taking care of my dog greatly, and I think this opportunity to walk other pups is a great way to fill that void. I am currently a student and a part time worker at whole foods, but I do have availability during the week and some times during the weekend, I can make special arrangements if needed. Im excited to meet you and your fur baby!?
About: I have spent many years fostering puppies/ dogs with an organization called “mostly mutts.” I have always been an animal lover. I’m very attentive and protective of every animal I come in contact with! Given the opportunity to watch someone else’s furry, I would treat them as my own! I have 2 dogs of my own and a cat. I am very strong and can manage larger breeds of dogs. I understand that people’s pets are a part of the family and they deserve only the best care. I take being a Rover dog walker/ sitter very seriously because of this. Your pup will be in very good hands! I also have a love for cats so I’d be more than happy to cat sit as well! I can’t wait to meet your furries!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred McCallie walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in McCallie maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in McCallie choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
