About: I've taken care of many animals since I was young, I've been a sitter for 2 fur babies for 2years before I moved and I do have my own sweet girl, she just turned 5 this year. I currently work part-time 4-10pm and I am a college students, so I do make time to be around fur babies, being around pets just bring me peace and happiness especially if I'm keeping company, walking or just playing. I would prefer to walk or go to the pets home, I do have children in my home that are at a very busy age.
About: I’ve looked after all kinds of animals! (And believe me I mean all kinds) I’ve been official in pet care for 5yrs, but my family has always trusted me as the official pet sitter due to my patience, responsibility, and compassion. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs, and my genuine love for animals shows that. Whether they’re playful, senior, shy, or require extra attention, I care for every animal the way I’d want someone to care for my own—with kindness, respect, and lots of love. I am a part time CNA, so my schedule is completely up to me! I love being in healthcare, but my real passion is pets! My schedule is always open unless I say otherwise! (I will always inform a client in advance about my plans) I provide warm, loving, and dependable home for pets of all kinds. I live in a family oriented neighborhood with plenty of space in the house, as well as a large front and partially fenced back yard! (And a large deck for those who love to sun bathe!) My neighborhood also forms a circle great for walks on a leash! I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply offering companionship, I treat every pet like family. I’ll care for your home and your pets with the same kindness, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I also offer extra kennels, leashes, bowls, and toys for those who are in a rush and simply forget!
“Denise was a great help in taking care of our cats, Bruce and Indie while we were gone on vacation. Very responsive and friendly. Will be happy to recommend and request in the future! Thank you!”
“Darayell always provides exceptional service! My dog loves her and gets so excited when she comes around. Her notes are very thorough and she cares for my dog as if he is her own. 10/10 recommend.”
“Our travels are so much easier knowing that Chimmy is well cared for. All of his needs are met and he is loved on. The photos are always fun. We couldn't ask for more. Thank you!”
“Hand an EMERGENCY I was out all day and didn’t think I’d get stuck out so long one of my furbabies was in her cage and she answered me immediately and swung by to let her out for me in such short notice there within minutes to rescue my husky out her cage let her outside even hung out a little with her and the furbabies .”
“Jennifer was a God-send. I had an issue with a sitter who mistakenly locked my dogs in the house and then changed her booking so she would not have to return. Jennifer stepped in and assisted me while I had to dispatch a locksmith. She followed instructions to the T! I was able to enjoy the rest of my trip because I had become increasingly panicked. My pets loved her as well, and she was able to get them to eat. They play so much sometimes they forget to eat! I will most definitely book her again!!!!”
“Cassandra was great with our 3 puppies. She was on time, played with them, made sure they ate and cleaned after their mess. She sent us pictures everyday which made us feel at ease. She even picked up an extra day that was previously not discussed without hesitation. I truly appreciate her kindness and professionalism. She takes her job to heart. I'm very happy that we chose her to care after my babies and will definitely book her again. I don't have a necessity to look anywhere else if she's available. Recommend 100% to other fur parents.”
“Yamile was fantastic!!!! She was very thorough with my instructions. She took time to play with my fur baby and interact with him. I will definitely be using her again. She was awesome!!!”
About: I provide attentive, personalized care based on each dog’s unique needs and routine. From high-energy pups to seniors, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. With regular updates and a genuine love for animals, you can trust your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I’m currently a senior in high-school, but with free weekends and free time during the week, as a dog owner I love meeting new four legged friends to take care of. Staying in your home I make sure that your four legged friends feel safe and comfortable, allowing them to be themselves while you are away
“What a great person. Im so glad i found olivia. She might be one of the nest people on rover. Affordable and do nice to her customers. I can tell bleu loved her. I will def be using her everytime i go out of town”
“Mical was wonderful! She spent quality time with our Koko while we were away for a last minute trip. We are new to the site and Mical is wonderful. We will definitely reach out to book her again when we need to go out of town again and can’t take Koko with us. Thank you!!!”
About: I have grown up with many dogs and tend to spend a lot of time around dogs. I used to dogsit for my neighbors when I was younger and I worked just under a year at a doggy daycare and boarding facility during my senior year of high school and absolutely loved it! I currently am on summer break and have plenty of free time to delegate to dog care. I spend most of my time taking care of my own dogs as well when I am not busy. I am very detail oriented and have experience following exact instructions from pet parents as I worked at a boarding facility previously so I can do whatever is needed of me. My main focus is always to do what is best for the dogs and keep them safe, healthy, and happy.
About: What sets me aside from other dog sitters…? Honestly I’m not sure. Because I would think anyone investing their time into caring for another life, would have the same mind set as myself. To Nurture & to guide! But what I could say about myself. I have more time to give 😊With me just recently moving to Georgia, I don’t have many family or friends here. Since the age of 16 I have always been a dog mom! & I’m happy to say thankfully my baby still here! I have experience with puppies until adult age & elderly. Pet care fit in my everyday life because I have a 6 month old pit who is the life of the family. He will definitely keep you on your toes. But the most Affectionate animal I have every had!! I also have the OG of the family. Ms. Bella. My Shih Tzu Maltese. Affectionate but love her own space. Caring for animals, is just the same as caring for a human. With time spent! So with morning walks/ play time. Feeding. Afternoon, evening. Late night rountie is the same with a Lil slash of conversation 😊Weekly hygiene! Monthly/ yearly check ups I'm currently working part time, So I'll have plenty time to play with your pups! Im available for boarding On the weekdays and weekdays s! I have to 2 fur babies who I love 24/7! I will love yours like my own! With me being Prediabetic I do daily walking!
About: Ever since I can remember, animals have been a massive part of my life. I know that pets aren't just animals—they are cherished family members. Whether you have an energetic pup who needs miles of walks or a sensitive kitty who prefers quiet snuggles, I am here to provide a safe, stress-free environment tailored to their exact personalities.For my canine clients, I focus on maintaining their routine, ensuring plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and interactive play. For my feline clients, I specialize in understanding cat body language, keeping litter boxes pristine, and offering the perfect balance of engaging play or peaceful companionship! I currently work full time as an Urban Designer and am available mornings and evenings on the weekdays. On the weekends I am available mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My main priority as a pet sitter is to make sure that your pets are happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I know that it can be stressful for them when their family is away. Comfortability and communication are very important to me and I strive to provide a great experience for the pets and pet owners.
“Went out of town and had Anaya come to my home and drop in to walk, feed and give belly rubs to my dog. I was at ease while away because she had it all under control. I am definitely going to have her come back!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - McDonough
Scarlett was amazing with our dogs! She always went above and beyond! We actually could relax on our vacation knowing she was watching our fur babies. She was always on time and her report cards were thorough, always letting us know what was going on. We would definitely have her watch our dogs again, she has been the best dog sitter we have ever had!
Raven was truly a life saver. I made a last minute request and surprisingly she was available. She followed all care instructions with ease. Loch even loved her. She took some of the most precious pictures of my baby which brightened my day every day. I actually think Loch misses her. I will definitely book her again❤️
I was very nervous leaving Caesar (senior Cane Corso) while I was away, especially since I had limited phone and email access, but Ashlee made the entire experience stress-free. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me updated consistently. My dog took to her, and everything went great. She has experience working with large breeds. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was well cared for and comfortable at home instead of his normal visit to pet boarding. I would absolutely trust Ashlee to watch him again!
This was my 1st time using Rover, so I was alittle nervous about leaving my babies at the house with an unfamiliar person while we were out of town. I found Kaylani on the Rover site & she was able to schedule a meet & greet with me a few weeks in advance. After meeting her & seeing how she interacted with my babies, I felt reassured that she was going to be a great fit. I was right, Kaylani did a great job, she followed the instructions I left & made my out of town trip feel less stressful for me & my babies.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a McDonough stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 McDonough 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!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in McDonough with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
