“Catalina was wonderful! She watched our 2 cats and one dog at our house (and also took care of my vegetable garden and numerous house plants) for a week while we left for vacation. Both of our cats take medication and she was able to pill them daily, which was a huge plus! While we were gone she also updated us with photos of the pets every day, and kept the house clean. In the past, I’ve boarded the pets at facilities or in other people‘s homes, so it was great that we were able to trust her to take care of the house as well as the pets. We honestly can’t recommend her enough!”
“Marianne took excellent care of Jinxie while we were out of town for 6 days. She walked and played with her and sent frequent updates with photos. Marianne stayed in our home and kept our home tidy while she was here. I highly recommend Marianne as an excellent caregiver.”
“I would highly recommend Briana. My pups absolutely adored her. She was thoughtful and attentive with her approach to each of the 3 pups, because they all can be highly energetic. She was also on top of administering the oral prescription for one of my pups. We used the house sitting service. The pups loved having her around and getting cuddles in. Morever, Briana was a very courteous and considerate house guest. She would be a great option for anyone considering.”
“10/10 recommend! Grace was fantastic taking care of our two German Shepherd dogs, Tank and Roxie, as well as our home! Communication was great, updates were super reassuring, and our dogs were treated like royalty. We came home to happy dogs and a perfectly kept house. Highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter!”
“Melissa is wonderful with large dogs and did a fantastic job caring for my two shepherds. She took the time to get to know their personalities and routines, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, she was dependable, and it was clear she genuinely cared about my dogs' well-being. It's not easy finding someone confident and experienced with large breeds, but Melissa exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and caring pet sitter. I will absolutely use her again.”
About: Effective October 15, 2026: I am relocating and moving services to Milledgeville, Ga. I will reinstate my pickup/dropoff fees. Please review the profile in its entirety. I will host a few doggy play dates throughout the month. I am employed as a nurse PRN. With that being said, my schedule is as flexible and open as I intend for it to be. Potty and feeding times are considered when making my schedule for the day. Fur babies typically get let out Q4H. Dogs are not allowed free range. Pups are either let into fenced in backyard or dog park, or expand their horizons on an open field with 50 or 100-foot tethers to run around. Although their recall may be good with you, I want to ensure your babies come back to you the way you left them. I follow directions and your suggestions to the T. I take care of them the same way in which you'd take care of your babies.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I have worked with multiple dogs at the same time and understand the importance of patience, safety, exercise, feeding routines, and individual attention. I’m comfortable with large dogs, energetic dogs, senior dogs, and pets that may need extra patience while getting comfortable with a new person. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and treating each one with care and respect. My schedule is flexible, which gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship at different times of the day. I’m also available on weekends and can adjust my schedule when needed. Safety and trust are very important to me. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, medications, and house rules. I always keep pets supervised and pay attention to their behavior and comfort. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels safe, relaxed, and cared for.
“We absolutely love Kaila! She is always warm, kind, and dependable, and Max is so excited to see her every time. We've used her twice for day trips and were so happy with the care she provided that we've already booked her for an extended long weekend. We highly recommend her!”

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 Meriwether 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 Meriwether 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 Meriwether 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 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.
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.
