“Highly recommend! The absolute best sitter we’ve ever had. We’ve used Rover for quite a while now and Mia stands out as the best dog sitter we’ve ever worked with. She truly goes above and beyond with Marley. From the very first visit, it was clear how much she cares about the dogs she watches. What impressed us the most is how Mia maximizes her time with Marley. She doesn’t just take Marley out for a quick potty break—she plays with her the entire time, keeps her engaged, and makes sure she’s getting both physical exercise and mental stimulation. You can tell Marley is having the time of her life. When we got home, Marley is happily tired, super calm, and clearly overjoyed with the care she received. Her tail is wagging non-stop and she seems more confident and content overall. Mia is also incredibly reliable, communicative, and professional. She sends great updates with photos and always lets us know how Marley is doing. We never have to worry when she’s watching our girl. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and provide top-tier care, Mia is the one. We will definitely be booking her again and again. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone in the area! Thank you so much, Mia! Marley (and we) adore you! 🐾❤️”
About: I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. I am a true dog lover with 3 dogs of my own. I am also a dog foster! Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I am a stay at home mom with 3 dogs of my own. Your pup will never be alone for more than 4 hours at a time and most days no more than 30 minutes! I have a fenced yard, 3 pup play mates and endless love to give. Your pup will be part of the family while they are in my care.
“Once again, Kaylee did an excellent job with our dogs and cats. She kept us updated every day with notes and photos, was proactive in her care, and kept our house tidy. All of our pets seemed super happy to see her in the photos she sent, which tells me that she took great care of them. I highly recommend Kaylee and will be using her services again.”
About: I will treat your pet like family and make sure they are happy and well taken care of. I want to be someone you and your pet can rely on. I’ve dog/cat/house sat for many people many times and I’ve built a connection with each human and animal different than any other. I work as a caretaker, so I’m available at different times, but it’s flexible. Right now, I would be available for 3 visits a day and would only be away from the house during house sitting about 4 hours a day. When caring for a pet, I try to read their expressions to understand what they need/want. I will keep them entertained when they want to play and leave them alone when they want to be left alone. I will make sure they’re safe and happy. I like to walk, play, relax, talk with any pet I’m with.
About: Hello there Rover family! I’m an extremely active Airforce veteran who has decided to open my home to your beautiful furbabies. I’ve had several years of experience taking care of a variety of breeds and species. I also am active in the dog community and show my own Dobermans! They’re extremely sweet and good natured. I am currently working from home, so there is plenty of time throughout the day for me to spend with your fur babies and keep them company! We have a large amount of acreage for your sweet pets to romp around on! In the event of rain or inclement weather, I have a variety of brain teasers/mental stimulation games to keep your fur babies occupied and happy!
About: I’ve had family pets my entire life, Mostly dogs and cats. I’ve been dog sitting for friends for the last 6 years. I have a 6 year old Lab/Pyrenees, who is good with other dogs. Her besties like to play rough, so I’m very mindful of the types of dogs I let interact with her. I prefer drop in visits and dog walking. House sitting just becomes a little tricky with having my own pets at home. I can handle all pets and all their special personalities!! I work a full time job 7-4 M-Th, but I would love to be available to you and your pets on weekends and I can do before and after work drop in/dog walking. House sitting/doggy day care is a discussion we can have upon request. Let’s set up a meet and greet ! I can’t wait to love on all your fur babies ! I will always try to make sure your pup(s) are getting an adequate amount of exercise and play time ! When doing drop ins and walking, I try to stay and hang out and give lovings for at least 30 mins to an hour.
About: I’ve always had pets around me while growing up and I always watch my grandmothers dogs while she’s away and I watch a family friends pets when she’s on vacation. I also played a part in helping my grandmother train her dogs some basic commands to make her life a little easier. I am working two jobs now Monday-Wednesday I work 7am-4pm Saturday is usually 7am-4pm as well If your dog will not be able to handle being left in alone for 9 hours while I’m at work please let me know. Unfortunately will not be able to let them out during my break at work unless you are in Smyrna and located close to where I work. Thursday, Friday and most Sundays I am free to stay and look after them all day long unless I have plans. I am able to do anything needed to keep your fur baby happy and healthy while you are away. Including giving them any medication they may need
About: I have always loved all animals. I am very trustworthy, patient, and loving. I think animals truly make a person's life better and more enjoyable. One thing that is very important to me, is knowing the animals personality and what they like to do, so I can make them as comfortable and happy as possible. I think one thing that sets me apart, is that I am willing to watch or care for any animal no matter how difficult the job may be. If an animal needs to be taken out every 30 minutes, needs to eat at a certain time, needs medication at a certain time, or even needs to go on a walk 10 times a day... I will happily do it. I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups. I am very comfortable with overnights at your house, and being there with your animals all day! I would care for your pet at your house just as you would. I think it’s super important to make sure your animals is comfortable because it can be super nerve racking when owners go away. So plenty of treats, outside / walks, and cuddles.
About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was a sophomore in high school, graduated in 2019. I volunteered and then became a worker at a groomer near me.

I am very respectful to others homes and belongings. I only want to care for the animals, very trustworthy. If staying at my home, I am sure to take them out every hour, hour in a half unless given specific details. They have their free roam, I also have a pretty decent sized screen in back porch that they can run around a little in.

About: Hi, my name is Lauren! I have experience working with a wide variety of working dogs, so I understand the multifaceted care that comes with monitoring and mitigating stress, animal behavior, administering dog first aid and medications, providing fun enrichment and exercise for your pup! As someone who has a senior dog, I am well-versed in accommodating special diets and other habitual needs that your furry friend requires! I will look after them as if they were my own. I currently work part-time that has some flexibility in the mornings and evenings. I don’t work a typical 9-5, weekday kind of job so there’s a chance I can help out while you’re at work! I have a spacious apartment (with big windows to look out of) that is close by to a few parks. I like to take long walks to ensure a proper potty break for your dog, while also providing time for sniffing and exploring. In others homes, I am very respectful of boundaries and following instructions: cleaning up messes that are made, etc. I can also water your plants!
“Montea’ took amazing care of our two golden doodles. She loved them like her own. She was always on time and gave them lots of snuggles, love and playtime.

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 Rockvale 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
