About: have hands-on experience working with dogs in multiple dog daycare environments, where I’ve cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. My experience includes supervising group play, feeding, walks, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and making sure dogs remain safe and comfortable throughout the day. I’ve also provided regular pet-sitting and one-on-one care, so I understand that every dog has different routines, energy levels, and needs. Working in dog daycares has taught me how important patience, consistency, communication, and paying attention to a dog’s body language are. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and take their care seriously. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, entertained, and comfortable while they’re in my care. 🐾🤍 Pet care is already a natural part of my everyday life. I currently care for Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog, so I’m very used to building my day around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter care, cleaning, and giving each animal individual attention. Because I already have pets at home, I understand how important consistency and routine are. I make sure I have enough time in my day to give the pets in my care the attention they need rather than treating pet sitting like something I’m squeezing in. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for other people’s pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. 🐶🐱🤍 Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, medication or basic care, and plenty of attention. I have a fenced-in home, which gives dogs a secure space to get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I also have experience caring for my own pets—Apollo, my two kittens, and a small dog—so I understand how important it is to be patient and attentive to each animal’s individual personality and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I also keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are doing well while they’re away. 🐶🐱🤍

About: Hi! Anyone that knows me knows how much I love animals, especially dogs and cats. I have had dogs since I was a baby and absolutely love caring for them. I have cared for my family and friend’s dogs and absolutely loved it. I have experience with dogs of all ages and activity levels so you can be assured that I will give the best quality care to your pet. I have the summer off from one of my jobs so my availability is a lot wider! During the school year, I work more but still have a very flexible schedule. While my apartment does not allow dogs or additional cats, I am more than willing to do visits or sitting in your home. I am willing to do multiple visits a day and anything you need to provide the best quality care for your pet!

About: I love caring for all pets and making sure they feel loved and to alleviate any stress they feel when their owner is away. As I know that my own pets love having a caring person with them when we travel and they are not with us. I strive to provide the same level of care for each pet I care for, as well. I work for myself and set my own schedule at this time. So, unless I am traveling or already booked I can be flexible to adjust my schedule with sufficient notice. Currently, I offer in-home care directly, so your pet feels most at home, at ease, and comforted by being in familiar surroundings. You can trust that I will be there to provide your pet with the best care, giving them the attention and love they need so that they won't feel distressed while you're away. I can work with puppies to senior dogs and kittens to older cats as well. I'm happy to meet with you and your pets in advance of booking to ensure we're a good fit for each other.

About: All Dog and Cats are welcomed !! I’ve had a dog since I could remember. Every time I come across any other dogs they become so clingy and don’t leave my side. Dogs are an emotional support for me personally. I’m very gentle, caring , patient and a little too generous with treats I’m working full time as of right now. I Also will start early in the morning for feeding , play time and walks. I can also make the dogs as part of my weekly routine I have a large room for playing and zoomies. There is also nice parks around for walks. I don’t have a fence as of right now but it’ll be one soon

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including dogs and cats, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also been the primary caregiver for my 12-year-old dog, Lola, for years. From keeping up with her daily routine and making sure she’s happy and comfortable to giving her plenty of love and attention, caring for Lola has given me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of how much our pets mean to us. I’ll treat your pets with the same care, patience, and love that I give my own. 🐾💕 I work part-time, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I’m able to work around my schedule to give pets the time and attention they need. I always make sure pets are in a safe, comfortable, and supervised environment. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions and keep their pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m respectful of their home and make sure doors, gates, and pets are secure. Most importantly, I give each pet plenty of attention, patience, and care so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and empathy I bring to every pet I look after. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family—not just animals. Recently, I experienced the loss of my own beloved fur baby, which deepened my appreciation for the trust pet owners place in someone caring for their pets. That experience reinforced how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet's personality, routine, and individual needs, whether that means extra playtime, a slower pace for a senior pet, or simply providing companionship and reassurance. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. Pet parents can expect regular updates, photos, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pet is receiving genuine care and attention. My goal is not just to watch your pet—it's to make them feel cared for, understood, and loved while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a structured schedule that allows me to plan dedicated time for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so providing consistent care, attention, and updates to pet parents is something I genuinely look forward to. Whether it's maintaining a pet's regular routine, administering medications if needed, or simply providing extra affection and exercise, I make sure each pet receives personalized care and attention. I believe every pet is happiest when their routine is respected, so I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, preferences, and any special instructions. In both my home and a client's home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible through regular walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they're away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision. I monitor pets closely, ensure they have access to fresh water, comfortable resting areas, and opportunities for play and enrichment throughout the day. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands.

About: I provide loving, reliable care with experience in puppies, seniors, and special needs. Daily updates, playtime, cuddles, and attention to your pet’s unique needs always! Pet care fits naturally into my day because I’m fully flexible and ready to adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m reliable, active, and serious about giving every animal the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether it's a long walk, some training, or just hanging out, I'm all in. When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a safe, clean space to relax, plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of attention. I stick closely to their normal routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and follow your instructions exactly — whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or extra playtime. I’m reliable, alert, and make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I fell in love with dogs since the age of 4 after being terrified from my first encounter. But after a few more curiosity approaches, I went from being afraid to loving every dog I came across from walks and loving every dog I came across even on the roads. No matted fur or patches will stop me from giving it affection (ask my girlfriend about the dogs I pet on our trips lol) Any moods the fur baby gives I try to match so we both can say (or bark) “yeah this was a great day…now what about treats!” Tend to every need I can, have bathed my own fur baby but no experience with nail trimming (not forcing to do something they don’t like) and always love seeing that wide smiles either from play or from my belly scratches! Working full time so will really be available on every other weekend with some days in the week. Just message me and I’ll let you know my availability! Never want to miss meeting another fur-ones! Constant monitor when at play in case someone decides to eat something they had no business. Will always check area for random loose trash that might look to appetizing for the fur baby. We’re not getting no upset tummies in this (or your) household!

About: I’ve had animals my whole life, from smaller breeds to large. I’ve worked at two dog daycares before, working with training dogs; grooming( nail trimming and bathes). My love for animals is very endless, they are better than people sometimes XD! I care for my own animals, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine! I work part time, otherwise my attention is focused on my fur babies at home. My apartment complex has an designed area with ample room for activities that my small dog enjoys and could be offered to my clients. I am flexible, and am great at accommodating to the many different personalities that animals may possess. I have worked at multiple dog boarding facilities that have allowed me to practice caring for many dogs at once and assessing each of their needs individually and accordingly.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and getting to hang out with a pup is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. I’m also an avid hiker, so if your dogs ever need some outdoor time, I’ll be sure they get it. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, high energy dogs, and more. 100% of my bookings will receive photos of their pets, and if my camera is working, I’ll leave behind a Polaroid of them as well! I work from home, so I am available to stay with your dog all day. I can take them outside for potty breaks, walks, or any other needs 24/7. I have a fenced in yard, and walking trails right next to my house. I also am available to stay over at your home and be with your dog 24/7.

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!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - McDonough

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in McDonough is $21 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 4,077 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across McDonough. 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.

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in McDonough. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
