“Ashely came by to do a meet and greet a few days before taking care of Kali which was so helpful for me to show her around the house. She followed all of my instructions and Kali was very happy with her! Will definitely be going back to her as needed☺️🥰”

About: I offer peace of mind through professional experience. Your pets are family. They deserve an expert who understands behavior, medical needs, and safety. I bring over 13 years of professional animal handling to every sit. I will treat your home and pets with ultimate respect. Why Choose Me: 13 Years as an Animal Control Officer: Trained in animal behavior, safety, and emergencies. Senior Dog Specialist: Expert in administering medications, managing mobility issues, and cognitive care. Multi-Species Experience: Extensive background with dogs, cats, and rabbits. Safety First: Certified in emergency handling and reading subtle animal body language. Reliable Updates: Frequent photo, video, and text check-ins during every visit. I am currently at home most of the day, which means your beloved pet will receive constant supervision, love, and attention! Because of my open schedule, I can offer ultimate flexibility—whether that means hosting a fun staycation in my home, coming to yours for multiple daily visits, or doing quick midday 'let outs' while you are at work. I am proud to have a very welcoming pack of my own, including two sweet female miniature dachshunds and a friendly, medium-sized female terrier mix. All three of my girls absolutely love making new friends and are incredibly well-behaved with other dogs. Your pup will instantly feel like part of our family, enjoying non-stop companionship and a safe, joyful environment tailored completely to their daily routine! Your pup will enjoy the ultimate freedom and safety during their stay with me! I have a massive, 6-foot fenced-in yard that offers plenty of room for high-energy zoomies, fetch, and outdoor exploration. For absolute peace of mind, all gates are securely locked from the inside, making the yard 100% secure. When we are indoors, your dog will enjoy full access to the entire house, meaning they can lounge on the couch, follow me around, and truly treat my home as their own. They will never be restricted to a single room, ensuring they feel relaxed, comfortable, and fully part of the family.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, and I’ve also fostered dogs in the past. Family and friends have relied on me to care for all kinds of dogs, including senior dogs with medication needs and larger, high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and playtime. I’m attentive, dependable, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently home from college, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with different schedules and routines. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs and make sure they get the attention, care, and playtime they need! When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to follow their normal routine and any instructions their owners provide. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m respectful of each client’s home and always make sure doors are securely closed, pets are supervised, and everything is left clean and tidy. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands.
About: Longtime pet owner and animal lover here! Nice to meet you :) From one pet owner to another, I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your pet while you are on a trip. That is why I feel so passionate about easing those worries and taking the best care of others pets for them. It is so special to be able to spend time with your fur babies, and to assure you that they will be taken care of so you don’t have any worries! It is my mission to take care of your pets as if they are my own. I always make sure to include lots of play and cuddle time. I include daily walks as well. I especially love to play games with them to tire out those active brains and make things more fun! Hide the treat is a favorite. I am currently in school part time. 3 days out of the week I am gone for about 5 hours. Every other day I would be there most of the day, and never gone for more than a couple hours. During drop in visits I always make sure to spend a few hours with the animals. Playing with them, taking them for walks, and of course giving them all the pets and loving. I know how hard it must be to be away from their family so I make sure that they have the best time while you are away and do not spend too much time alone. Whatever safety measures you require in your home I can make sure to accommodate! I can crate your dog if needed. And I always make sure walks are safe.
“Michelle did a great job caring for our family member Lily. She was great about communication and I could tell she was really trying to make sure Lily ate while we were gone and even gave her a little preventative medicine when she noticed Lily eating grass. Lily seem to do much better at home than in a kennel being boarded so I’m sure we will definitely use Michelle again for future trips. I would highly recommend from Michelle.”

“Kaylyn was fantastic! She was very communicative and ensured Chloe was enjoying her stay while getting in a good mix of cuddles and exercise. I cannot recommend her enough to take care of your fur babies!”


About: From my first family dog at 5 to taking care of my grandparents dogs growing up, I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I have easily spent more time with them, than without. I was a friends go to for taking care of their Boston Terrier when they went on vacation in my teenage years, and more recently I have been the same for a carefree Husky and loving Rottie mix during longer family vacations, and soon a pair of awesome sibling Samoyeds. I am currently in an off year for school, so I have the privilege of having open availability. I used to work overnights so I tend to be awake late in the evening, but am not against pet care earlier in the day. I am a very patient and caring person and I understand your relationship with your dog is important. With that said I am willing to accommodate the needs of your pet and you. Whether they need plenty of playtime, affection, or guidance, I am more than excited to provide.
About: I’ve taken care of many pets! From dog to tarantula I’ve had them all. I’ve handled the stubborn breeds like bull terrier to the loving breed like Labradors. I’ve raised multiple kitten litters and helped them get adopted out and took in many strays. I treat every animal as my own. Im available every week day after 8am! If im needed earlier I can make it work as well. My schedule may be more open soon depending on jobs. Pet care come first for me so no need to worry about anything preventing me from that. I can easily crate your dog if needed and have a fenced in dog park. I do live in an apartment complex so room isn’t as spacious as a house.
“Bradlei has been amazing! My dog takes a while to warm up to new people and she’s not only been kind, but patient and understanding to his needs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have their fur babies taken care of without having to worry!”

About: I have always been an animal lover my whole life. I currently have a dog named Snowball who is 16 years old, he has been my best friend growing up. Taking care of him has taught me many skills such as bathing,walking, and medicine administration. I recently got a cat named Peanut! He is a sweetheart and gets along with Snowball :) I am looking forward to helping families out and meeting some new pet friends! I am currently home for summer! I recently graduated from Illinois State University and will be heading to graduate school in Romeoville in August. I am looking for jobs throughout the summer! I will treat your pet like my own! I am very energetic, responsible, and flexible. I will ensure that your pet and their needs are properly taken care of. I can easily adapt to different needs and situations when sitting. I am looking forward to making you and your pet happy!

“Nicole, Thank you for taking care of Maggie for us this weekend, we really appreciate the peace of mind that you provide to Teresa and I. And, a special thanks for your extra effort ensuring our packages were safely brought into our home. Sincerely, Kevin Crosson”

About: I've had pets my entire life- cats and dogs both! I love animals, and love taking care of them. If my pets are happy, then I'm happy! I'm self-employed, so my schedule is wide open and set by none other than myself. I can make myself available as needed, and am able to change plans on short notice. I care for pets as if they're my own. I love animals and spending time with them, and I'm always sure to be respectful of whoever's home it is that I'm in.

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 Rockdale 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rockdale. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
