“Madeline is amazing! We have hectic work schedules that change at the drop of a dime, and Madeline has been so accommodating with helping pick up our slack at home with the dogs. She responds so quickly to messages, is extremely flexible, and great with our pets. We love that she takes such great care of them and is happy to help! We rebook with her almost weekly because of how phenomenal she is!”

About: Hello! I grew up with three dogs and a cat, all rescued. I’ve been pet-sitting since freshman year of high school and absolutely love it! I would like to meet your pet beforehand :) On Fridays and Saturdays I am not in school, so I have all the time to be with your pet! I can usually do check-ins three times a day, possibly more. For check-ins, I typically take some time to hangout and live on your furry friend! Along with whatever care you think is best fit :)
About: I have spent about 10 years pet sitting for other people. I've pet sat dogs, guinea pigs, fishes, rabbits, and cats. I also have a dog of my own so I know what it's like trying to find a sitter that will treat your pet like a family member. I love to take dogs on walks, have no problem cleaning up after them (outside and inside), have no problem giving medication, and love to give belly rubs/head scratches. I love to know more about your pet/pets before hand such as medical conditions, and or aggression towards other animals so I know to look out for signs. Hello everyone, so I do work a full time job weekend shift. I work from 5 am till 7pm Saturday,Sunday,monday, and sometimes overtime. Please keep this in mind when booking for house sitting since it does mean I won’t be able to on those days. If you'd like me to dog sit (from your home) as soon as I get there in the morning it'll be bathroom break, feeding, play time/walk time, attention time, then I'd leave for a little bit and would come back in the afternoon to have another bathroom break, play time, and attention time. Then leave again and at night would do another bathroom break and feeding and playtime. (Bathroom breaks will be given more than three times since each time I come over I’ll be there for 2-5 hrs at a time.) for housesitting I am not able to spend the night since I do have my own dog so it will be me staying throughout the day. I currently work 3 12 hr shifts on Saturday- Monday so those are the only days I’m not available. I’m free Tuesday-Friday to help out in anyway you need. Any details about your pet is greatly appreciated such as any aggression towards other people or animals so I know how to handle the situation.
About: I have always loved animals! I have two of my own and grew up taking care of my family’s dogs and cats. I would love to take care of your fur baby like my own! I work part-time during the week and do not mind taking breaks in between for drop in visits and walks! I can accommodate my schedule to whatever the animal needs. Keeping my animals safe is of upmost importance to me! I personally am very careful with mine and would do the same for your animals.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I have a beagle back home with my family, which has taught me how much pets mean to the people who love them. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs who need medication, and pets with all kinds of personalities and routines. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and comfortable! My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own while you’re away. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I make pet care a priority and always plan my day around the pets I’m watching so they get attention, exercise, and many potty breaks!I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful because they’re part of the family. I always do my best to stick to their normal routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them extra cuddles. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll care for them the same way I would want someone to care for my own. Their happiness and safety will always be my top priority.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have had horses for 10 years, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and understanding animal behavior. I also worked for a year and a half as a veterinary assistant at a vet’s office while I was in high school. While I am definitely not a professional veterinarian or animal behaviorist, that experience gave me a better understanding of animals and made me more aware of changes in their behavior, health, and overall well-being. I know how important your pets are to you, and I will always treat them with the same care, attention, and patience I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I am available for bookings on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. On Mondays, I have classes from 12:45–2:10 PM and 3:00–4:25 PM, so I am available before and after my classes. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have classes from 3:00–4:25 PM and 5:30–6:55 PM, which gives me a good window between classes to check on your pet, depending on the distance from campus. I am also able to plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and keep their pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to learn their individual needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications if needed, and any specific instructions from their owner. I also make sure they have fresh food and water, attention, playtime, and plenty of care and companionship while their owners are away. I treat each home with the same respect I would want for my own and always make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. Most importantly, I want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident that they are in good hands.

About: I’m currently a student at Georgia Southern! I have a family dog back home I took care of daily and took care of my siblings dogs when needed. I also volunteer at my local animal shelter. I absolutely love animals and can’t wait to help take care of your pets! Before booking, I would love to meet up to meet you and your furry friend. I’m looking to make money for college and I’m hoping to make this a more permanent career choice that fits my schedule while at school. I can easily clean up pet messes and have no problem dealing with energetic pups. Caring for your pets is no issue and they’ll get lots of playtime, walks, and love.

About: I’ve cared for animals for most of my life. Growing up, my family always had pets in the house like dogs, cats, fish, and even my sweet guinea pig cupcake. Because of that, I’m very comfortable around animals and extremely patient and attentive when it comes to all different kinds of pets. All pets are different with unique personalities and should be cared to just like us. I’m currently a full time student but I am incredibly flexible and available to care for your snuggly furry (or bald) babies! I can work around your schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the clients home and follow the normal routine set in the household. I can guarantee feeding schedules, portion sizes, exercise routines, everything will be followed.

Currently I am making Rover my priority. When I moved from Florida to Georgia I unfortunately had to leave my doggos behind. So, spending time and taking great care of your doggos will bring back the genuine happiness I felt when I was with my own dogs. Because I am making Rover my main priority, my schedule is completely free. I can work through the week, weekends, and holidays when needed. The most important thing in my opinion is to listen to them, observe their body language and love them like a best friend. Make sure they're getting the proper care such as walking them, spending time with them, talk to them, take them outside to play or go potty, bathe them, play with them and so forth.
About: Growing up in a household whose always had rescue pups i’ve cared for dogs coming from several different backgrounds since I was 13. I have most experience caring for rescues that have come from very abusive homes, senior babies, administering respective pills, and dogs with epilepsy/ heart failure. Neighbors and family friends have always relied on me to know that their pup is in the best hands.I’m also going into my first year of college majoring in Animal Science to be a veterinarian:). I am currently free all week and weekend. During those seven days i’m free from 9am to 12am. Thank you for choosing me to take care of your loved one! I currently do not have a fenced in yard but leashes are used during that time. I currently have a new addition to my family that is 4 months. He’s up to date on all vaccines. Our dog does very well with others. Potty breaks are every 40 minutes to an hour as well as a potty break 30 minutes after eating ( i find that this is the best time frame). If a crate is needed and/or provide then i will ensure that one is used. My pup is also crate trained. (info!) The speckled dog that you see in the photos was mine but is no longer with us, if you had any concerns:). Their passings are very unfortunate but i can ensure that they lived a very long and love life.
About: I had a great dog as a child and as I have grown up, I decided to get one of my own! I love taking dogs out to play and watch them run around. I also don’t mind just sitting there loving them! I am a full-time college student and a full-time sorority girl! While that may sound busy, I actually do everything online so i am always free, at any time. I have two kittens and a dog of my own to help keep your company and play. I have crates for all my animals just incase anything were to go wrong. I do not have a fenced in yard but I do own leashes of multiple sizes!

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication when needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time of time to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding Friday-Sunday, and weekdays after 1pm I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly dog to keep your pets company. I can easily create your dog if need. At your home I’ll take care of all animals making sure they get the care they need and making sure they have fresh water and use the bathroom.
About: I have been a pet owner for 10 plus years to include both large and small dogs as well as cats and I look forward to the opportunity to help care for your fuzzy family I currently have an open availability weekends as well as evenings and mornings during the week and if need be during lunch hours as well I have access to a large backyard as well as several walking trails and a dog park that is in my neighborhood and of course am always happy to take you pets out on adventures to hiking trails
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

Caroline was truly amazing with my dog! She was so patient, gentle, and incredibly sweet the whole time. You can tell she genuinely cares and goes out of her way to make your pet feel safe and comfortable. My dog absolutely adored her, and I’m so grateful for the kindness and calm energy she brought. I couldn’t recommend her more!

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.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Pretoria. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Pretoria after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
