Rachel did great with my 2 giant dogs, who are extremely picky and needy! They don't like everyone but they seemed to like Rachel. Will definitely use again.

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: 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!

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!

About: I was once a full time kennel worker, I always enjoyed the experience. My full time passion is my love for them. I've owned and cared for dogs since I was a kid. You will love my dependability and loving care. I'm also able to administer medications and even abide by a strict diet/schedule. I've also taken care of senior dogs and puppies.Your fur babies are in safe hands. My schedule is flexible, I'm available with notice. Warning your dog might like me better than you after a sitting/walk. Dogs love me. I can't promise i won't steal your pup after I see their adorable faces. Any questions or concerns please ask away. I will be happy to answer them to ease your fears. Kayla. Note: Meet-ups will be done in a neutral location due to safety. I do work full time but have 3 breaks. I stop by the house often. I can check on the pups and provide bathroom breaks. My home is close to work. So, I’m able to be there quick and I have cameras to check in. I have one dog who can keep your pups company. She free roams. Your pups will free roam unless they get into things. When I’m home they will be free and get to cuddle in bed. And have lots of treats and toys .

OMG, Summer was the best. She gave me great piece of mind while on vacation. She sent photos twice a day when she walked my baby. He was literally smiling in the photos. She was so professional and loving toward Duke.

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.

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: Hello fellow Pet Parents! I am a huge animal lover (just ask my five cats!) and would love to take care of your furry paw family members! I have several years of experience working professionally with animals, as well as volunteering and fostering with rescues. I have had the wonderful experience to meet and handle hundreds of dogs, giving me the opportunity of working with an incredible range of different breeds and personalities. From small to big, timid to high energy, I love them all and know how to gain their trust and love! I work remotely full-time in IT, allowing me the capability and flexibility to stay with your pets at all times. I also highly value communication and am known in both my career and personal life as being very responsible - I love giving updates! As a side bonus, I enjoy doing my best to take really good pictures of your pets. I have experience supervising groups of dogs at once, administrating medications, taking care of cats when they are highly stressed (almost no cat likes boarding facilities, they like staying at home). I have also pet-sitted a max of 10 dogs at my home once; 8 puppies, their mother and father, and my two dogs! As well as pet-sitted through Rover, and for family and friends. In addition, I recently fostered a litter of 6 kittens in addition to my 3 cats until all got adopted. Spoiler alert! I ended up falling in love with 2 in particular and adopted them! However your pet may be or what type of animal, I assure you I will provide the upmost care, attention, and love to them while you are away! Please feel free to reach out to me for any inquiries or questions, and have a great day! I work remotely full-time in IT, allowing me the capability and flexibility to stay with your pets at all times so they can always have attention and company. I always ask alot of questions and love to know all I can about the pets I care for. I will follow every detail provided to ensure your pets keep their routines that allows maximum comfort.

About: Hi there! I’m so excited to share my 15+ years of animal care experience with you and your pets (& plants)! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve finally decided to fully pursue my true passion—caring for animals of all kinds. With a degree in marine sciences and a lifelong love for the great outdoors, my journey has given me a wealth of hands-on experience with a wide range of animals from newborns to seniors, across both land and water. I’m also happy to care for any plants you may have while you're away! I genuinely love meeting new people and their pets, and I treat every animal like one of my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your crew! Please share a picture and a quick introduction of your pet <3 I am currently blessed with completely open availability! I prefer to keep my weekends light, but I understand these are typically the days many clients may need my services. I will leave the multiple pets in home aspect up to the pet owner’s discretion - I can board up to 3 dogs at once, if their temperament allows. Willing to accommodate as needed! I have a large (unfenced) yard in a safe, quiet, rural-residential neighborhood. We are surrounded by trees, birds and tranquility, so I like to look at it like a true getaway for your pets. While you’re on a trip, so is your fur baby!! There are dog parks in the area that I’d love take the dogs to visit, at the discretion of the owner. The only pets I have are reptiles, so there’s no need to worry about sharing spaces with unfamiliar pets in my home (unless I have another client here)

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about 12. Neighbors, family members and friends would trust me to take care of their 4 legged animals while they were gone. They never had to worry if their animals were being taken care of! I currently work full time. I already take care of a few of my neighbors pups when they are not around & need some assistance. I will be able to put your dog first and give them all the love they need. I live in a city style apartment community with several areas just for pets. There is also a mile walking trail for long walks! Very safe area with no worries of late potty breaks.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Porterdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Porterdale on Rover is $21.09 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,180 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Porterdale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

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. 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.

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.

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

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.

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.
