About: I’ve grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, pigs, fish, reptiles, and birds! I currently work at Wag Atlanta, a daycare/boarding facility where I gain hands on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I get off work at 2 pm Sunday-Thursday so I’m free to care for your pets until 10 pm! I am also free to work Friday, Saturday, and most holidays with select hours. :} During drop-in visits, I can check in on your dog and care for any additional pets in your home as well 💕 That can include fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, arachnids, etc. As long as I’m given clear instructions/routine I’m able to feed, play with, administer medication, and spend quality time with your pets to make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I also make sure the home stays clean and secure by cleaning up after pets & monitoring their behavior. I will send many pictures and videos to keep you updated as well as communicate any concerns. My goal is to keep your pets happy, stress free, and well cared for while their owners are away!

Love-It I’m currently working full-time at Lifeline Animal Project as a Supervisor but I’m still able to fit in the basic care and needs of other fur babies preferably on the weekends but I’m willing to make other arrangements if needed just contact in advance. I have more than enough space to properly take care of your fur baby and their needs and can crate them for bed time if needed.

“Jhada was amazing! She did a drop in for my cane corso Remi and she handled my 100+ lb puppy like a pro and I had a peace mind not having to worry about my boy being locked up in his crate all day. Will definitely use her again in the future this was my first experience with Rover and I love it.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for most of my life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Growing up, I constantly rescued dogs—despite my parents telling me not to—and eventually my passion rubbed off on them too. I recently lost my two longtime furbabies, Isaac and Luckie, both rescues who lived long, happy lives of 14+ years. Losing them reminded me how quiet and lonely home can feel without a pet, which inspired me to begin pet sitting. It allows me to share love, provide comfort, and help pet parents feel at ease when they need someone trustworthy. Over ten years ago, a sitter once lost my dog Luckie. Although I found him, that moment showed me exactly how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone else. Because of that experience, I take safety, communication, and supervision extremely seriously. I’ve cared for several neighbors’ pets over the years, following their feeding instructions, providing multiple walks a day, and sending frequent updates. I offer photos, videos, and even FaceTime check-ins upon request. My goal is for every pet to feel at home, and for every owner to feel confident they’re in good hands. Your pet will receive personal attention, consistent care, and plenty of love here at Canine Clubhouse—their home away from home. Pets are family, and I treat them exactly that way. Available **7 days a week** for overnight and drop-in visits. I provide flexible scheduling, attentive one-on-one care, and a safe, loving environment where your dog will feel right at home. **Additional Services** * Pick-up and drop-off are available for an additional fee. #Important Policies **Puppies & Potty Training** * I do **not** accept puppies **1 year of age or younger**. * I do **not** accept dogs that are not fully potty trained. * If a dog is checked in that is not potty trained after you have been informed of this policy, a $10 per day additional fee will be included. NO SAME DAY BOOKINGS ! **Large Dog Fee** * Dogs weighing **60 lbs or more** are subject to an additional **$10 per day**, which is due at check-in. These policies help ensure a clean, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for every dog in my care. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! I provide personalized, attentive care based on each pet’s routine and needs. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm, and cozy environment with plenty of affection, supervised play, scheduled walks, and consistent feeding times. I also send regular photo and video updates so you always feel connected. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar space. I maintain their regular feeding, walking, and medication routines, provide companionship, and ensure their environment stays safe and clean. Your pet’s comfort and well-being always come first, no matter the location.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, and getting to hang out with a pup is one of my favorite ways to spend my day. I’m also an avid hiker, so if your dogs ever need some outdoor time, I’ll be sure they get it. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, high energy dogs, and more. 100% of my bookings will receive photos of their pets, and if my camera is working, I’ll leave behind a Polaroid of them as well! I work from home, so I am available to stay with your dog all day. I can take them outside for potty breaks, walks, or any other needs 24/7. I have a fenced in yard, and walking trails right next to my house. I also am available to stay over at your home and be with your dog 24/7.

About: Since i was younger I’ve always loved dogs. Whether my own or volunteering at a shelter my passion has always been animals <3 When i heard about Rover i was ecstatic. Having the chance to meet more fur babies , getting to know each personality, and learning more everyday is something i am looking forward to. I do work full time but an early morning shift (4am-12pm) I have the rest of my day, why not fill it doing something i love? Which is pet care! I take pride in animals and often feel as though i can connect with them better than humans! Other than working in the morning my day is free! I live in an apartment which does not have a yard, but there is a park less than a 2 minute walk from where i stay! My neighborhood is dog friendly and does require leashes on every dog! I can crate your dog if needed, and make adjustments as requested.
About: I've been petting sitting/walking for at least the last 5 years. I have a lot of experience walking big dogs and giving medicine. I have also assisted in training here and there with some dogs. Im currently working on call, so I have lots of free time that I would love to spend walking dogs or pet sitting just for the day or even multiple days.

“Mical has done drop in vistis for my 3 cats twice now. I won't have anyone else going forward. Mical makes sure they are well taken care of. Cat boxes are clean, food and water filled. My cats will hid when some ones in and Mical always try to find them to make sure they are OK. During one visit she noticed the house was a little cold and called to find out how to turn on the heat. I appreciate how caring and thoughtful she is and I always know my babies will be well cared for. I can't say enough good things about Mical. I Highly recommend!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Riverdale
Kerry did an amazing job caring for my girls. From the pictures and updates she sent, I could tell they felt comfortable and trusted her. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and support she provided while I was out of town. As a first-time mom navigating postpartum, being away from them was difficult, and Kerry went above and beyond to reassure me. Whenever I felt nervous or anxious, she made sure I knew they were doing well. She even sent me a video of my dog when I shared concerns that she might be missing me, which meant so much. Kerry made me feel completely comfortable and confident in her ability to care for my girls. She also captured some amazing group pictures that I will cherish. I highly recommend booking with her she is thoughtful, caring, and truly wonderful at what she does.
I can’t say enough good things about Mary. She took such amazing care of my dog, Pixie, while I was on vacation. From the start, Mary was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I got regular updates and photos that showed just how happy and comfortable Pixie was — it gave me total peace of mind while I was away. When I came home, Pixie was relaxed, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Mary again and highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet sitter. Thank you so much, Mary, for treating Pixie like your own! 🐾

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.
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 Riverdale 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 .
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.
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 .
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.
