“Samantha did an awesome job watching our pups! They adored her and we felt so comfortable with her. She was always on time and let us know how things were going with each check-in. We will definitely request her as often as possible and would recommend her services to anyone. Great job!”

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals and took care of them when sick or when family or friends were away. I can continue training if needed. I love to take care of fur babies. I can confidently say when you get home your fur babies will be happy! I am a caregiver for the elderly with dementia my schedule varies but tends to be midday up to 5 days a week 4-5 hour shifts. I can adapt to any set of rules you may have for your pets to help them be more comfortable and feel safe while in my care.

About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 4 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.

About: I have experience taking care of both small and large dogs with a wide variety of personalities. I’ve cared for dogs who deal with anxiety as well as some of the most sociable pups. Young and old, I love all dogs the same! I am currently working part time as a substitute teacher so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m fairly flexible to meet the needs of your pup! I try and follow the normal schedule and routine you have for your pet. I have no problem crating your dog if needed but can let them free roam if that’s normal for them as well. I also try and keep them on the same feeding time. If your dog is used to walks in the morning or evening I try to accommodate that as well as the length of the walk.

About: Animals have always had my heart. I truly believe every pet deserves to be spoiled with love, kindness, and the best care possible. I have an elderly dog of my own and have raised several puppies, so I understand the extra patience and care that both senior dogs and little ones need. I'll treat your furry family member like they're my own and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable from the moment we meet. Also, I am a runner. I love to run and if any of your dogs need extra exercise I would love to get one of my runs done with your dog! I am a college student looking for work that I love. Caring for pets doesn’t even feel like working. I will fit in as much as I can as my schedule allows! For sitting or drop-ins, I like to ask as many questions as possible and maybe meet the pet beforehand so that they feel comfortable.

About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs

About: I’ve always been that person who immediately notices the dog before the humans (respectfully 😂). I genuinely love animals and take caring for them seriously. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, prefers a slow stroll, or just wants someone to sit nearby while they judge me from across the room (looking at you, cats), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and I’ll stick to your pet’s routine because I know consistency matters. Expect lots of updates, cute pictures, and the occasional message telling you your dog made a new best friend (me). I’m currently a PhD student, so my schedule has flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is honestly one of my favorite ways to step away from my computer, get outside, and spend time with some furry company. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive when I say I will, and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If your pet is in my care, they’re my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they stay safe and comfortable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel nerve-racking, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can actually enjoy your time away instead of wondering how your fur baby is doing.

About: Hello! My name is Sara. I was a dog and cat boarding and dog daycare manager at a popular animal hospital in Duluth for several years. I originally started at an entry level in 2015 and worked my way up to a management position in 2017, where I stayed until 2021. I had to leave the position due to relocating to Athens. Since then, I spent some time at another veterinary hospital local to Athens as a receptionist from 2021 to 2022. In 2022 I switched to a work from home position, but found myself deeply missing the fulfillment that comes from taking care of pets. I started doing pet sitting for family, friends, and a smattering of former clients from my previous work places, and then decided to try and branch out to do it more frequently as a side business! My family and I are located in Commerce, on a private property with a large yard. Currently it is unfenced, but we are planning to fence it in the future. I had to take some time away from Rover due to moving into a new construction home, but I am back now and ready to host your lovely pups again! In my time as a kennel manager, I took several professionally-taught classes on dog behavior and worked closely with the head veterinarian and business owner to learn about the in's and out's of dog behavior. While I am NOT a medically trained professional (I can not and WILL not make diagnoses or provide treatment for your pets, as I am not registered!!), I do have some knowledge of common health conditions and medications that dogs and cats might experience over their lives. I have a wide array of knowledge of dozens of different dog breeds and everything in-between. I also cared for cats that were away from home and helped in any way I could to try and keep them comfortable. I became very aware of anxiety in dogs and cats: how to spot it, how to try to soothe it without reinforcing it, and the best ways to avoid triggering anxiety in the future. Through slow and steady acclimation I regularly assisted new pets to the kennel facility get more comfortable and accustomed to their home away from home. The facility I managed also had large play groups of up to 10-15 dogs at a time that were monitored at all times. This only continued to reinforce my experience with dog behavior and reading their signals to avoid any scuffles from occurring in the first place. Altercations between animals were rare to nonexistent. Finally, I learned about numerous different types of food and medications and how to best administer them. I became quite experienced with getting pets to take their medication orally and also learned how to administer insulin subcutaneously. I didn't at all mind sitting and feeding pets by hand if they were too nervous to eat on their own, and would regularly clean ears, wrinkle folds, and anything else needed as requested by their owners for dogs with sensitive skin. I especially fell in love with senior pets- those that are always eager for a buddy to curl up on and for pets and attention, but are perhaps a bit too sensitive to be in large groups or around many other dogs. Working as a kennel manager made a huge difference in the amount of experience and understanding I have with animals. I strive to offer a safe, calm and comforting home for your beloved pets to relax in while you are away. I want to put your mind at ease so you don't have to worry at all- your pet will be loved like they're my own when they're here. :) I work from home and make my own schedule with my main career, so I am able to step away to tend to your pet when needed. ALL PETS MUST BE UP-TO-DATE ON VACCINES AND FLEA/TICK MEDICATION! PLEASE INFORM ME OF ANY FOOD ALLERGIES YOUR PET MAY HAVE! I have a large backyard (currently unfenced, but hoping to fence in the future) and am available during the day to tend to your pet at any time. We do not have any dogs in the house, though we do have a cat that keeps to herself. I am experienced with anxious animals and have several years' experience of pet care in a professional setting, so I am well aware how to handle animals of all sizes, temperaments and ages. I am able to administer medication on whatever schedule is required, and have experience administering insulin injections as well. I do offer basic grooming services if you are interested! **Please note I cannot provide haircuts beyond very minimal cut-outs of small mats, etc.** BATH ONLY: $40 DREMEL NAIL TRIM ONLY: $20 ANAL GLAND EXPRESSION: $15 Please note that I will NOT perform a grooming service if your pet is very distressed or trying to bite during! I will of course refund any fees for services that are unable to be completed.

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.

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 .

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.

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.

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 .

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.
