About: I work in a rescue clinic twice a week where I have developed skills like administering medication, working with a variety of animals, working with all ages from newborns to seniors, and enjoy working with animals of all sizes! I am not available on Tuesdays since that is the day I work in a rescue vet clinic. Every day I care for my personal pets, and would love to add your fur babies to my days. At this time, I'm not available to care for your pets in my home but I would be happy to recommend facilities that can care for your pets.
“My dogs absolutely loved Heather! She was super sweet and very accommodating with very short notice. I will definitely use her again to walk my fur babies when I have to go out of town. Thanks so much, Heather!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats most of my life as well as birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish. I am happy to prepare fresh or specialty foods as needed. Seniors and special needs pets as well. I'm not squeamish. Health care and Military background. This is my primary source of income. I adore pets and look forward to meeting with my clients and their humans daily. Fur feathers or fins, I love them all. Safety and security is always number one! I want to be sure you come home to a happy health pet in a secure home. Your pet will be provided with the supplied food, ample water and given time to exercise. They will be given as much attention and love as they would like and they will be returned safely in the designated area. Your pets and your home are always respected.
“Alexa is fantastic with Moon! She provides great communication and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and spoiled. When I pick Moon up, she is very relaxed. I highly recommend and would gladly book with her again!"”
About: I have owned a Yorkie-Poo now for 16 years. She is the love of my life. I enjoy playing with her and giving her the affection that dogs require. I pay close attention to detail, particularly when a dog is distressed, needs to rest, is hungry, or just would like to get some fresh air. One of the things that set me apart is that I believe that every dog is different and that one size does not fit all. I take into consideration each dog’s unique personality and I meet them where they are so they have an easy transition while being away from home. This can be achieved by asking questions of my clients and through personal observation. I want everyone to feel comfortable about their decision in choosing me. I work a hybrid work style. Some days during the week I do go into the office. When I have my clients during the week I tend to work from home to give them their best care while you’re away. My dad who also has been with me during my time using Rover is typically home as well during the times I need to step out of the house. I have a fenced in backyard that I allow my more active clients to run around in. I am always outside with them carefully watching the pups to ensure their safety from overheating or over exerting themselves. For my lower temperament pups I recommend bringing their favorite toy that they love to play with, or I meet them where they are by giving them lots of pets or sleep for my older clients who love to rest all day.
About: With over 15 years of hands-on experience as a devoted dog owner, I bring genuine love and deep expertise to every pup in my care. My journey began with Riley, my beloved companion who blessed my life for years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. Riley taught me patience, attentiveness, and the unique joy that comes from truly bonding with a dog. Today, that love continues with Kenobi, my energetic and adorable 3.5-year-old, who keeps my dog-care skills sharp every single day. Kenobi and I are always on the move — whether it's our regular long walks, hitting the trails for a hike, or joining our local dog walking group where pups can socialize and explore together. An active dog is a happy dog, and I make sure every dog in my care gets the exercise and enrichment they deserve. My reputation speaks for itself — family and friends have trusted me time and again to care for their beloved pups, knowing they'll be in the most loving and capable hands. That trusted word-of-mouth is the foundation of everything I do. While I'd love nothing more than to expand my fur family, the timing isn't quite right for a second dog — so dog sitting is the perfect solution! It lets me share my home, my heart, and my experience with more dogs who deserve top-notch care. When your dog stays with me, they're not just being watched — they're being welcomed into a home that truly understands and adores dogs. Your pup will be in experienced, caring hands every step of the way. Services Offered: 🐾 Dog Walking 🏠 Boarding 🧩 Enrichment Activities I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to center my day around your pup's needs. Whether it's regular potty breaks, feeding times, nap schedules, or simply cuddle time on the couch, I am fully present and attentive throughout the day. Your dog will never feel lonely or overlooked — they will always have loving company and dedicated care from morning to night! I have one 3.5-year-old Cavapoo named Kenobi who would love to keep your pup company! Crating, playpen setting or free roam can be offered depending on your dog's temperament and individual needs. And if your dog loves the outdoors, my large yard provides plenty of space to run, explore, and play!
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I don’t just “watch” pets—I build trust with them, learn their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely happy while you’re away. I have experience working with pets of all ages and needs, including puppies who are still learning routines and senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable reinforcing basic training (like potty schedules, leash manners, and crate training) and sticking closely to any routines you’ve already established at home. For older pets, I pay close attention to mobility, medication schedules, and making sure they’re relaxed and stress-free. I structure my schedule to allow time for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the space and the pet’s environment. I keep things clean, stick to their normal routine, and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. If pets are in my home, they’ll have a calm, safe, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest.
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: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 6. I absolutely adore animals and their innocence. I am reliable and sweet to them at all times! I am currently working a part time job and my hours fluctuate, but I still have a flexible schedule to dog walk either when I get off or before work! I have a shih tzu at home who is a very calm dog. I feed her twice a day with blood pressure meds. She might already be tired of how much love I show her every second of the day!

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs since I was little. From volunteering at animal shelters to just washing and walking the dogs in my community I have always been surrounded by the adorable balls of fluff. Having 11 years of experience I can ensure you that having me as your dog walker/sitter is leaving your dog in good hands! I am usually available anytime from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM, but I have a pretty flexible schedule and am able to work around your schedule. I have a completely closed back fence to ensure safety, many many toys and treats to entertain your fur babies, and of course cute leashes
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my energetic 2-year-old dog, Aspen, previously raised a family dog from puppyhood through their senior years, and fostered to own two cats. I’m comfortable caring for both young, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, sticking to a familiar routine, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is in reliable and caring hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I’m currently on paternity leave until the fall, so I have open availability and a flexible schedule to provide reliable care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, or simply spending quality time with your pet, I’m able to give them the attention they deserve instead of rushing through visits. I enjoy being active with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. At home, my 2-year-old dog, Aspen, has a structured routine that includes daily walks, plenty of playtime, mental enrichment, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to her health and well-being by preparing nutritious homemade meals with quality ingredients, providing healthy treats, keeping her clean with oatmeal baths, and making sure she has safe, durable toys to keep her engaged. When caring for a client’s pet, I know every dog has different needs and routines, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely. Whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication if needed, going on walks, playing fetch, providing companionship, or simply giving extra cuddles and reassurance, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own dog.
“Catecha really stepped in for us while in a bind due to last minute work trips and my overnight work schedule. Diesel loves walks, so I know he was excited for a morning one. Thanks again!”

About: As a 4 cat, 1 dog momma, I have cared for pets as long as I can remember. I've been dog walking and pet sitting for both dogs and cats since middle school. Your fur babies are family, and I’m here to treat them like royalty! I am completely open for work Monday through Sunday! I'm trying to fill my time with more animals and outside time! I'd love for this to be my calling. Specialize in caring for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your McDonough. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in McDonough. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
