I got regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. My puppy was happy, well-fed, and clearly loved all the attention. I would absolutely recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter!””

About: I have had dogs all my life and I am truly a dog lover! I recently had my dog professionally trained which has forced me to learn some training tips myself. I also have experience with senior dogs. I'm currently not working outside the home so I am available for drop-in visits and walks. I enjoy walking and would be sure your pet gets plenty of playtime outside. I understand what it’s like to have a pet in my home so I would be sure that your pet is meeting your standards of inside do’s and don’ts.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve volunteered with veterinary offices and the Humane Society, and I understand the patience, responsibility, and love animals need to feel safe and happy. I live locally in the Landings and I work from home, which means your pets will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day in a quiet, smoke-free, child-free environment. I also have a fenced in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. My two friendly dogs absolutely love having visitors and get along wonderfully with both dogs and cats. Whether your pet stays with us for boarding, I stay in your home, or I stop by for drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your furry family members, and I’ll treat your babies like they’re my own. We can’t wait to meet them! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule which means your pets will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. For in home visits, I am dependable with visit times. I know how much peace of mind matters when leaving your pets, and I’ll treat yours like family while you’re gone. Your dog will stay in a quiet, clean, child-free and smoke-free home where their comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced section of yard for supervised outdoor play, potty breaks, and fresh air. My two small dogs are loving, friendly, and enjoy having furry friends visit! Dogs are welcome on the furniture, so they’ll have plenty of cozy spots to relax and feel at home. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers their own space, I’m also happy to crate them as needed for sleeping, feeding, or downtime based on your routine and preferences.
“My girls had the best time with Derv and her furry friends. I received photos and messages throughout their stay. I felt relived to have my dogs with her-and knew they would be well taken care of. Absolutely will use this sitter again!”
“Loved Jordan! He sent me updated and pics and video assuring me that my fur baby was in good hands! Knowing that Riley was comfortable made me a lot less stressed about being away for a few days. Will definitely book with him again!”
“Sharissa is lovely! She took lots of photos and videos of our cat, who wasn’t sure she wanted to come home since she clearly had a great time. Sharissa’s apartment is safe and comfortable for animals. Sharissa was super accommodating and easygoing. We’ll definitely be asking her to watch our cat again.”
About: Hi! My name is Meg and here's a little bit about my experience as a pet sitter. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since 2021, cats and dogs both. That has meant everything from the easy stuff, feeding and walks and company, to the parts people actually worry about: giving medications on schedule, keeping up with monthly preventatives, and handling the unglamorous days when a dog has an upset stomach and needs watching. I have done the 2am cleanup and the anxious pacing by the door. None of it fazes me. One sit still stands out to me. A family friend needed someone last minute to care for their two dogs, who both had colds, while they were away for a week. They were understandably worried about leaving sick dogs behind. I stayed with the pair day and night, giving every dose of medication on time and just being there with them through it. By the time their owners got home, both dogs were one step away from a full recovery. That week is a good example of what I bring to a sit: I don't just check in, I stay present until the job is actually done right. I am happy to handle whatever your pet needs: boarding at my place, house sitting at yours, drop-in visits, walks, medication, or anything else specific to your routine. Just tell me what normal looks like for them and I will hold it as close as I can while you're away. I have also fostered cats and dogs, which gave me practice with nervous animals and slow, careful introductions. My own dog Lady came to me as a foster and never left. She is 5 years old, lab mix and an easygoing host. She would be the only other pet your dog is around. I'm currently working part-time so your pet will have to be alone for 5-6 hours only 2 to 3 days a week. My working days are also quite flexible so I can work it out according to your pet's needs! Either my home or yours, I will match your baby's routine and needs. Same feeding times, walk schedules, rules around furniture and crates. In your home, I will keep to your house rules and keep the space as you expect it when you're back! My home is quiet and pet friendly, with a fenced yard, walking routes in the neighborhood and a metal crate is available if your dog prefers one. Introductions with my dog, Lady will happen slowly and on neutral ground, and I do not leave dogs unsupervised together until I know how they get along. You will get many updates and photos while your pet is with me.
“Ash had a wonderful time staying with Ysidra! She sent great photo updates throughout eachday, and he came home happy, tired and with a new toy. We would definitely book with her again."”
“Beth accommodations for a last minute reservation. We were very grateful! Beautiful home and big yard so I know he was very well taken care of. Will definitely book again! Thank you, Shannon!”
“Our puppy Norm had a great time with Kendall and her family! We received several photos during his stay and could tell he was being looked after with care and having loads of fun. We highly recommend booking with Kendall!”
“Emely was great and took good care of our Clementine. I appreciate her patience and care since Clementine is older and was a bit nervous. Thank you Emely for helping us have a nice evening knowing Clemi was safe.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and am now a proud dog mom to my Frenchie, Hendrix! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else, and I’ll care for them just like they’re my own. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and updates throughout the day. My apartment complex is very dog friendly and has two fenced-in grass dog parks, so whether your dog loves to play or prefers a slower pace, I can make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. If you have a Frenchie or another wrinkle-faced pup, they’re in good hands! My apartment has pet stairs to all the furniture, and I always keep wrinkle wipes, wrinkle paste, nose balm, and other Frenchie essentials on hand to keep those ADORABLE squishy faces happy and healthy. FOR OVERNIGHT BOARDING: All dogs must be up to date on their vaccines! My Frenchie, Hendrix, will be here too and I need to make sure he’s safe. Hendrix is incredibly friendly and loves making new dog friends. If your pup enjoys other dogs, they’ll have a built-in playmate. If they prefer to be the only dog, overnight boarding may not be the best fit—but I’m always happy to discuss other care options!🐾🩷 I work from home, and am only gone for a few hours in the afternoons on Tues-Thursday, which means I have the flexibility to take breaks throughout the day to check in on your pup and give them the attention they need! When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave for me. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know how they’re doing, and I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own. Whether it’s walks, meals, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for!
About: I’ve grown up with animals in my home 24/7. There has never been a time when I wasn’t surrounded by animals, playing with animals, or taking care of animals! I’ve been walking dogs for a couple years now, and dropping in to check on my neighbor’s and friend’s pets. Currently, I am college student who is looking for a flexible job that works well with my schooling schedule. I love to work with pets whenever I can in my free time. My schedule is incredibly flexible and great for one-time or weekly repeating clients! In my client’s home, I always make sure that the pets I am taking care of have enough food, water, attention and are safely inside before I leave. I always want to make sure that I am leaving the pet in a clean and safe environment as well, making sure that any messes are cleaned up, that the pets are picked up after, and that they have clean bowls if they manage to get dirty.
“Shanti was great! Our dog, Harley’s, most comfortable stay in Georgia. Harley settled in with ease and came out happy. Shanti sent updates and communicated very well the whole time. Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
We had a great experience with Katelyn from start to finish. She communicated well before hand and answered all questions that I had, and gave us updates on our pup daily. We picked up our pup and he was happy! I would highly recommend using Katelyn and would book her again.
Lacie and her family were absolutely wonderful! I had to leave my baby girl at the last minute, and Lacie was able to easily accommodate my request. She took great care of Rolli, who has never been away from me for any long period of time. If I'm in need of someone to watch my girl again, I will definitely choose Lacie and her wonderful family 🥰
Katie is amazing! Her and her husband took the best care of our Millie girl. She was constantly communicating and kept me informed. I got several pictures. This is also the first time that I truly relaxed when leaving her with a Rover sitter. I knew she was being taken care of and loved the same way I do it! I will definitely use them again!!

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 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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
