“Naomi is fantastic. She took amazing care of my sweet baby, Izzy, and it was clear Izzy absolutely loved her. Izzy is a Cane Corso, and Naomi handled her with confidence and care. I felt completely comfortable knowing Izzy was in such good hands. I will definitely be using Naomi again!”

About: I have taken care of animals for over 20 years for family and friends. My experience has been with Dogs. Additionally, I have a canine handler certification through Iron Dog K9 International. My current work schedule is mobile and remote, it permits me the availability to house and animal sit for your pets during the week and weekends. I care for pets in the comfort of their familiar environment, which helps reduce anxiety, especially for older or sensitive animals. I follow all instructions provided — feeding, walking, cleaning litter boxes or cages, administering medications, etc. I also handle small household tasks if requested, like bringing in mail or watering plants. Daily updates, including photos and notes on how your pet is doing, are always included. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is my top priority.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for as long as I can remember! I have also cared for cats all my life! I currently own 1 dog. Book with me today! I work PRN shifts and am in school 2 days a week. I plant to fit your needs into my schedule. I can visit as many times as needed. I make sure that the animals in my care are always cared for to the best of my ability. Safety and comfort are my top priorities.
About: Hi, I’m Josh, and I offer nothing but the most reliable pet care around, tailored to you and your pets needs! 🐾 I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly believe every pet deserves kindness, routine, and a whole lot of love (and maybe a treat or three). From playful pups to wise old doggos, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether it’s: Gentle strolls for seniors Play-packed walks for energetic pups Cozy care for anxious or shy pets Basic routine reinforcement …I meet every animal where they’re at. Your pet won’t just be walked or watched, they’ll be nurtured, and treated like family. Plus, I’m a firm believer in consistent communication! You’ll get updates, pics, and plenty of peace of mind while your pet is in my care. I’m home full-time, so your pet’s schedule? It becomes my schedule! Early morning potty breaks, midday zoomies, afternoon sunbathing, or evening snuggles… I’ve got the time and the treats. My days are pretty flexible, so whether your pup needs structure or just someone to hang out with while they nap, I can make it happen. I keep things calm, cozy, and consistent because pets thrive when they feel safe and seen. Basically: if your pet has a routine, I’ll stick to it like peanut butter on a chew toy. 🦴 And if they’re more of a go-with-the-flow type? We’ll create a new groove together. Let me know what makes your fur baby happiest—and I’ll make sure every visit or stay feels like a mini vacation (with belly rubs included, obviously). My home is a peaceful, pet-friendly space where your furry friend will feel right at home. I work from home, full-time, so pets are never left alone for long, and I’m always nearby for cuddles, potty breaks, or the occasional “did someone say treat?” moment. A fenced-in yard is in the works soon (yay!), but in the meantime, we have instant access to Academy Springs Park; just a few steps away, and we’re a short drive from the Chimney Park dog park too. Plus, my quiet, sidewalk-lined neighborhood is perfect for low-stress walks and curious sniffing adventures. I keep my space clean, calm, and cozy. No overwhelming noise, no overcrowding, and definitely no chaos. Whether your pet needs space to lounge, room to play, we’ll create the right setup for them. I care for every animal like they’re my own because honestly, they kinda are while they’re with me. 💛
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets since I was 7 years old. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and personalities, from tiny pups to giant breeds. And I’m comfortable handling energetic, strong, and high-maintenance dogs as well. I understand that every pet has their own routine, needs, and quirks, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and dependable presence, I’m happy to help! I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve. I currently work part time and have a new baby, but I am available Thursday-Sunday anytime before 2pm! If a day is needed outside those days and hours it will depend on if I have child care available! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely while making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I respect your home and your pet’s space, keep things clean and tidy, and always prioritize safety and comfort. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away!
“Marilyn was such an amazing pet sitter! She sent me the sweetest pictures of my cat while we were away and I could tell my cat really enjoyed her visits! My cat is very shy, so it was nice to see how Marilyn made an effort to connect with her and my cat bonded with her. She also checked in on my cat another day after our flight got delayed. I would definately recommend!!”

About: I’ve taken care of family and friends dogs over time with love and care. From small to large dogs, I’ve gotten very well with them all. Currently I’m an upcoming artist which means I work from home and I have a flexible schedule. YI’m available from 8am to 10pm through Monday to Sunday. At home I have a un fenced yard with wide space for the dogs can play and run around. While in other clients homes I’d ask for specific instructions so the dog feels at home with me.
About: Hello, My name is Ariana! I am passionate about the care and wellbeing of animals in all shapes and sizes. Over the summer I volunteer at my local no kill shelter as a veterinary assistant in hopes to become a veterinarian! I also foster cats and dogs in home from my shelter while they wait to be adopted! My home is certified with the Georgia department of agriculture as a safe environment to house the pets I foster! I have 3 cats that are all spayed and they are thriving! I work part time which gives me so much time to be at home to care for my babies. I live with my mother who also is knowledgeable about the care of the pets we currently have so their will always be someone home to look after the fur babies! I have an open yard and a temperature controlled garage. I keep cats indoors 100% of the time and they are free to roam throughout the home. If guests keep their dogs mainly outdoors they will have the opportunity to continue to stay outdoors or in the temperature controlled garage! Dogs that are not outdoor dogs will be kept indoors 100% of the time and will be separated from all other animals. I will not board other cats with dogs and my cats will be kept away from any dogs and cats we host until your pups or cats feel comfortable in their environment. No need to provide cat or kitten food unless your cat requires a specific blend. Pets that are cared for in their home I require a detailed list of care and any medications your pet takes as well as what foods they eat and how it is prepared.

About: I treat animals as if they were my own children . I have raised and breed poodles, yorkies, pekingese and dachshunds. I am available immediately to open my home to your precious family member. Your pet will feel safe and loved as if they were always a part of my family. I enjoy interacting and playing with them. Sometimes spoil them a little too much. Your family member will be in great hands and you will definitely bring them back to their 2nd home from home. I have a lot of patience and give 100 percent of tender loving care to your most precious family member. To me dogs are not just a animal , they are just like our children and at times act like it.

“Mary took wonderful care of our cats. We had to leave them inside while we were gone and they were not happy. But, over the course of 11 days, she got Lufie, who hates other people in his house, to come out long enough for a picture. Remy and Romy where happy to see her every day. She took pictures everyday, which made us happy. She also took care of setting up our days and times on the Rover system, which is very cumbersome for long time periods. I’m planning to hire Mary again for a week in February. Thanks so much for taking such good care of my babies, Mary!”
“Stacey is the absolute BEST! No dog anywhere could ask for a better sitter. She is reliable, attentive to instructions, responsible, and loves dogs! She stays in touch while you are away and takes great care of your fur baby. I highly recommend her!!”

“Loan was great with my dog. She was kind and she seemed to love animals. That made me feel comfortable and at ease about leaving him in her care. She was excellent and I will definitely recommend her.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Porterdale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Porterdale 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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 Porterdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 sitter.
