Our 2 cats, Phoebe and Finn loved having Katharine stop in to take care of them. They were given treats, brushed, and fed. They had their pictures taken and sent to us. They even asked when we were leaving again -- just kidding about that! Katharine sent us notes daily about how they were doing. Made my trip more relaxing knowing they were well taken care of. Will definitely have Katharine here again. Thank you, Katie!

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☺️🥰

We felt so good knowing Olive was in Art's hands while we were away. His friendliness and knowledge made Olive feel comfortable while we were gone. Art kept in touch with us and sent us pictures after having some great play time. We will definitely use Art again.

About: Hi! My name is Jasmine, and I provide reliable, caring pet sitting and dog walking services. With an extensive background in animal behavior and care, I bring both professional and personal experience to every pet I look after. I’ve grown up with a dog for 8 years, currently share my home with my cat Sage, and even worked as an assistant zookeeper while studying veterinary science in college. These experiences have deepened my understanding of different animals’ needs and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or extra love while you’re away, I treat every furry friend like family. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pet and help make your life a little easier! Monday-Friday 6:00 am- 8:00am and 4:30-9:00pm Saturday and Sunday open availability I’m available for dog walks and pet visits Monday-Friday between 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM and 4:30-9:00pm. Saturday-Sunday, I offer open availability for both walks and pet sitting, making it easy to schedule care that fits your needs. I provide attentive, compassionate care for pets right in their own home, so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. During my visits, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared-for, giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and routine as needed by them and their owner.

About: I have experience with all different dog breeds and sizes. I know great helpful training techniques. Also, I grew up living with dogs up until now. I have a full time Hybrid job. I work from home 3 days a week and the workload has been fairly light. I currently live with no furry friends and am missing the connection with them. I want to hold off on adopting right now so I thought the best way to fulfill my wants of having a dog will be through this app. I have no fenced in yard or much of a yard at all. My home is spacious though, so there is enough room for your pet to be comfortable and play indoors. I have 3 reptiles that will stay in their tanks and do not cause disruptions. They also love watching other animals from afar.

Nicole is a gentle and kind care giver who help our family by talking care of our beloved dog, Maggie while we were out of town for a memorial service. Normally, we take Maggie with us when we travel but this time it was not possible. Our daughter recommended we use Rover to find a sitter for Maggie and that's how we found Nicole. We arranged for Nicole to drop in during the day periodically to ensure Maggie was taken care of. Nicole was always on schedule and sent us photos of Maggie everyday. Nicole's daily reports gave us peace of mind and comfort knowing Maggie was doing well. We highly recommend Nicole. You can truly trust Nicole to provide a high level of quality care for your four legged family members when you are away from home. Our sincere thanks to you, Nicole.

About: We have grown up around cats and dogs. We are the go to pet sitters for our families and friends. We have experience with cats, dogs, snakes, turtles, fish, and ferrets. We have house trained our dogs and know the patience required with the process. We both work from home so we are able to take dogs out as needed and nothing is better on a work break then cuddling some fuzzies. We have a large fenced in yard,so dogs can safely run and play. We always stay outside with them. Inside the house is pet proofed with couch protection covers and scratching posts for cats. All kitty litter is gated off from dog access. Water bowls are available upstairs and downstairs. If we are outside for more than 15 minutes we also bring a water bowl outside.

Marissa was very professional I like the fact that she was qualified to care for dogs because of her work at a pet clinic and college background. She made sure to take notes for the care of my senior dog Ginger. she took pictures and made sure Ginger was comfortable before leaving. I would highly recommend Marissa for anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Happy I chose Alyssa to care for my dog. He was truly cared for. Excellent communication and upbeat personality, Teddy was so well cared for I doubt he even realized I wasn’t home 😂. I would 1000% choose Alyssa again when I need a dog sitter.

We are so lucky to have come across their page. They took the time to do a meet and greet with us and our beagle Baylor absolutely loves them! We would 10/10 recommend.

We were so lucky to find Katharine. Our pup does not like strangers and she came over for a visit and put our concerns to rest. She is super accommodating and helpful. She brought in the daily mail/packages and our garbage cans. We received updates and she takes the best pictures, which we appreciated getting each visit. I highly recommend Katharine and we’ll definitely be repeat customers.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Rockdale

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Rockdale on Rover is $27.75 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 Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,535 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rockdale. 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 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:

  • 91% 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.

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.
