About: I've owned and taken care of dogs my whole life. I house-sit and pet-sit for several family friends and relatives. I'm experienced with all kinds of animals. I've owned a very wide array of animals throughout my life, all the way from farm animals to reptiles, fish, rodents and everything in-between. My favorite animal is dogs of all kinds, but I can take care of other animals. I can do all kinds of medications and any special cares needs that your baby might need. I work from home and make my own schedule so I'm always available to host animals, house-sit animals, or just stop by for play time and potty time as frequently as needed. I have a fur baby of my own who is just over 3 years old and she loves other dogs. I have a fenced in yard where your fur babies can run and play freely. My baby is crate trained but can also be trusted to be left out. We let our dogs get on the furniture and sleep in the bed with us.

About: Neighbors have relied on us to take care of their dog for long periods of time! We’d love to have your pet join our family while you’re away! We both work full time on week days but have plenty of time in the day to take care of our own dog so adding yours to our day won’t be any trouble! We follow whatever routine the pet is used to. Walks, back yard play time, big couch for snuggles, and loving children for all the pets your pet needs!

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was 9. Neighbors have relied on me to care for their cat while away for work. Friends have called on me to feed, walk and care for their dog on weekends. And I have worked professionally with dogs, cats and goats since 2017, having also been entrusted with bathing them and giving necessary medication. I'm currently working full time which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties in the evenings or weekends. I am free most weekdays after 6:30pm and am flexible on weekends. I care for my pets by having adequate food and water always available. I do crate dogs if needed, but follow the lead of the owner. I try to keep a clean space and give lots of love to all pets involved.

About: 12+ years of professional pet and farm sitting experience. I offer tailored care to dogs, cats, horses and other farm animals. I specialize in caring for senior animals and pets with medical or complex care needs. I care for your animals like they are my own and offer compassionate, patient care that meets your pets full range of needs. My love for animals began at the age of 2 by bringing home a garter snake and over the years I've had dogs, cats, a horse, birds and other fuzzy critters that I've loved dearly. A meet and greet is required for first time clients to allow me to get to know your pets and their routine to ensure they receive the best care possible. 💛🐱🐕 I am a full-time pet and farm sitter. I work 7 days a week and holidays, when available. I'm often booked several weeks in advance. I care for your animals in your home where they are most comfortable. I am detail oriented and aim to leave your home clean and cared for just like your pets. I have plenty of references and I'm always happy to answer any questions you have about care, my background and my process.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other animals (guinea pigs, fish) for over 10 years. Growing up there was always an animal around and I loved every second of it. I've given meds, insulin, and shots, so I have a lot of experience with all the parts of animals, not just the fun ones. I have over 10 years of experience helping my mom's Rover account where hundreds of dogs have come through our doors into our home while also pet sitting various friends and colleagues. I am a freelance photographer and videographer, so if I am not out on a shoot or at a meeting, then I am home and able to love on all the pets! I have the flexible schedule of someone who works from home. I want to make sure that the pets environment is as seamless as possible as when you are home. I do my best to follow all instructions so that they are not just comfortable at their home, but feel like you are still here!

About: Hi, my name is Lauren! I have experience working with a wide variety of working dogs, so I understand the multifaceted care that comes with monitoring and mitigating stress, animal behavior, administering dog first aid and medications, providing fun enrichment and exercise for your pup! As someone who has a senior dog, I am well-versed in accommodating special diets and other habitual needs that your furry friend requires! I will look after them as if they were my own. I currently work part-time that has some flexibility in the mornings and evenings. I don’t work a typical 9-5, weekday kind of job so there’s a chance I can help out while you’re at work! I have a spacious apartment (with big windows to look out of) that is close by to a few parks. I like to take long walks to ensure a proper potty break for your dog, while also providing time for sniffing and exploring. In others homes, I am very respectful of boundaries and following instructions: cleaning up messes that are made, etc. I can also water your plants!

About: I have always been so in love with animals! Growing up we had two Himalayan cats and 6 chihuahuas. Needless to say, we had a full house! I treat all the animals that I care for as one of my very own. I absolutely love all animals!! I am the oldest of my siblings and I have always been a nurturer. Being a nurturer really comes easy to me and helps with this as I appreciate the importance of the well being of your lovely pet. I have done dog sitting for many dogs that have been on a special diet and very sick. I have an open schedule right now and love to take your pets out for some fun! Dog owners have always been very pleased with my skills and such special care for dogs. I have a pretty open schedule as of right now. I am very flexible and would love to discuss some arrangements for dog sitting for your fur babies! I live in a house with lots of room for play! It is a very safe neighborhood with lots of areas to go on a nice walk!

About: GET $20 DOLLARS OFF YOUR FIRST BOOKING WITH ME HERE ASHLEO89675, https://www.rover.com/sit/ashleo89675 COPY AND PASTE THIS CODE OR MESSAGE ME AND ASK ABOUT HOW TO USE MY CODE I’m a full-time engineering student with a passion for pets! Originally from Los Angeles, I moved here for my love of music. When I’m not caring for pets, I’m a food enthusiast, music lover, and movie binge-watcher who also enjoys the outdoors—whether it’s camping, light hiking, swimming, or roasting s’mores by the fire. I have specialized training in working with rescue pets, emotional needs, disabled and senior animals, diabetic care, and separation anxiety. Additionally, I’m skilled in adult dog and puppy training, as well as leash training. I also incorporate music therapy into my care routine to create a calming and stress-free environment, ensuring your pets feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. Fortunately, my schedule is very flexible, as I’m not tied to a corporate 9-5 job, and my degree program is 40% online. This allows me to prioritize my pet-sitting business and adapt to the unique needs of each client and their pets. I take your flexibility into account when planning my stay; knowing YOUR flexibility on the demands of your pet and the needs of your home as a client and pet owner allows me to coordinate groceries, packing appropriately, and consider weather conditions and activities in your area during the booking dates. With 20 years of caregiving experience—including working as an In-Home Care Provider for the State of California and nannying for children—combined with my professional home and pet-sitting services since 2018, I bring a wealth of expertise to every booking. This work not only sustains me financially but also supports my academic focus as I work toward my engineering degree. As a full-time home and pet sitter, my other commitments include only non-paid internships, church, and school. I work remotely from my laptop, often doing film editing in post-production and mastering music during my stays. This setup allows me to spend quality time with your pets while ensuring they’re not left alone for long periods, (unless otherwise stated). I also incorporate music therapy into my care routine, creating a calming and stress-free environment for your furry companions. My rates for house sitting are charged by the night, not by the day, to make my services as affordable as possible while covering school expenses, gas, and living costs. If you require extended daytime care, like my 24/7 presence, homestead and farm sitting, or other specialized arrangements, I am happy to discuss and adjust rates accordingly to meet your needs. Open and transparent communication is key for me, to ensure I fully understand your expectations and provide the best care possible for your pets and home. I look forward to working with you and providing peace of mind while you’re away. Please feel free to check out my reviews to learn more about the care I provide!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience and genuine care for dogs at every stage of life. I’ve personally taken care of my own dog for over 10 years (before he moved in with my grandparents), which has given me extensive experience in both puppy care and senior dog support. I’ve also provided special care for young, energetic dogs as well as older pets who need a bit more patience and attention. On top of that, I’ve regularly helped friends and family with their pets, whether through dog sitting, walking, or assisting with specific care needs. I truly love building trust with every dog I meet and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of saving up for law school, so I have the freedom to prioritize pet sitting and can easily adjust my availability to meet the needs of each pet and their owner. Whether it’s regular walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I love incorporating time with animals into my day—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always prioritize making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. I stick closely to the pet’s regular routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also take extra steps to keep the home tidy and secure while I’m there. I make sure to give plenty of attention and updates to the owners, so they feel at ease while they’re away. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly space with lots of room to play and relax. I make sure their routine is kept as consistent as possible and that they feel like part of the family while staying with me. Whether in my home or theirs, I always approach pet care with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals.

About: I often volunteer at the Fulton count animal shelter and I have over 10 years experience taking caring of fur babies. I recently lost my best friend October of last year and have found ultimate joy taking care of other people’s loved ones as if they were my own. I will provide them a safe and stress free environment! I have cozy fuzzy blankets, chew toys available as well as an extra dog bed for them to enjoy. I am flexible in terms of preferred food and treats that you feel works best for them. I am pretty available during the week as I work part time. I love to walk and am very so they will enjoy long walks if they would like. I guarantee a minimum of three walks around my neighborhood, large yard, or nearby trail. Your loved one will have a cozy bed of their own with a furry blanket. They may sleep in my bedroom or large crate whichever you are comfortable with.

About: Pup lover and animal advocate since a very young age! I’ve never met a dog I didn’t pet. Great with providing care for animals of all shapes and sizes and I’ll be sure to give them lots of lovin’ and attention! I pay great attention to detail and have a lot of time flexibility to be there whenever your pet needs me. I have lots of experience not only from raising my own pups, but also from being a pet sitter since a very young age. I’m also extremely active so I will be able to keep up and hold onto the biggest of barkers. My life long goal is to live in a house full of dogs. Please make my dreams come true and pick me to be your sitter for your perfect pup! I recently made the decision to leave my full time corporate job to pursue my own personal business and a more peaceful lifestyle. I have wide open availability and go on walks in the mornings and evenings. I treat every dog like they're my own, because at home, I've got one who runs my whole schedule already. Walks start with a quick read on the dog's energy that day. Some days call for a brisk pace and a little training reinforcement, other days it's more about sniffing every mailbox on the block like it's breaking news. In your home, I respect it like I'm a guest who happens to have a leash in her bag. Doors get double checked, food and water bowls stay filled, and I'll always follow whatever routine you've already got dialed in. If something feels off with your pup, you'll hear from me before you even have to ask.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - McKnight

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 1,761 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across McKnight. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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

  • 89% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
