“My dogs came home happy and well-cared for after their stay with Lindsey. She responded quickly whenever I reached out and kept me updated on how they were settling in. The photos she sent were so appreciated, especially since I hate being away from my pups. She truly made me feel comfortable and confident that they were in good hands. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I will definitely book with Lindsey again!”

“This was my second time using rover and my German Shepherd had a great time. I appreciate all the updates and the level of care Ms. Shaniece provided. Sometimes I get nervous with leaving Zeke because he’s so big, energetic and at times requires a lot of attention, however, could tell once I picked him up he was in good hands.”

“Really appreciated Jaymie and Bryan allowing Butch to stay with them this past weekend. Drop-off and pick-up went smoothly and Butch came home to us happy and safe. Jaymie was attentive to all my questions & concerns at drop-off and made us feel comfortable about leaving our pup with them. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of their fenced-in yard based on the number of pups that they watch daily. Great communication, great experience! We'll be back again, I'm sure!”

“Valerie was absolutely amazing with Ruby! 🐾 I was very hesitant about having a dog sitter watch my dog at first, but she made the whole experience so comfortable and stress-free. She kept me updated the entire time with how Ruby was doing, which meant so much to me and really put my mind at ease. You can truly tell she loves animals and treats them like her own. Ruby had a wonderful stay, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she received. We have loved having Ruby stay with Valerie and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter! 💕🐶”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I worked at an animal shelter for a couple of years when I was in high school as well. I currently have two small dogs that I adore. I will treat your pet as if they were my own! My weekends are normally open so I am available to check on your pet throughout the day as needed. I will send you a text with a picture each day or at each visit. I work full time during the week so any drop in visits will be outside of my normal work hours. I am open for boarding during the week. The dogs will have access to a doggy door at all times. I will make sure your pet has fresh food and water and can administer medication if needed. If we walk around outside, I’ll make sure the ground is not too hot for their feet.

About: Hello, My name is Alesia. I am very nice, friendly and outgoing person, and I love meeting new dogs and their parents. I have a precious little White Maltipoo Dog named Casper, and a little female Yorkshire Terrier named Chloe. Sometimes my Grand Dog, Cash, comes over to visit and play. He is a Labradoodle. I (and my husband -Ray) have raised a number of dogs throughout the years from, Toy Poodles, Miniature Pinchers, to Chows. We are partial to the smaller, lap dogs who love to be petted and cuddled so they will feel safe while their owners are away. My little fur guest can choose to go outside a few times a day or just stay inside if they like. I am flexible to the needs of my little fur guests. I will feed the pets according to their accustomed schedule and take them outside when needed. I have a very nice, secured fenced back yard for running and playing ball. And, by all means bring their favorite crate, bed, blanket or toys so they will feel right at home. Bring their favorite food and any treats that they are accustomed to eating. And of course, fresh water is always available. Please bring their collar and leash for their walk time. Some people even bring Mom or Dads piece of clothing (like at shirt) to sleep with so they will feel close to them, while they are away. I appreciate your business and I am here to serve your pet so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I am retired and stay at Home unless I need to run a short errand etc. My home is quiet and peaceful. I have a glass front door if your furbaby wants to lay or sit and look out the door. I have two small senior Furbabies. They cuddle on the sofa with us. Your Furbaby is welcome to cuddle with us if they want to. We always have bowls of fresh water available at all times. We have a nice clean fenced backyard for your Furbabies to walk around in or take care of their business.

About: What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’m patient with puppies, attentive to senior pets, and happy to follow individual routines, feeding schedules, medications, and special care instructions. My goal is for every pet to feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while their family is away. I work from home, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Pets get plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m able to keep a consistent routine and give each pet the individual care and attention they need while their owners are away. Pets staying in my home become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on pets throughout the day and follow their normal routines, feeding schedules, medications, and special needs. My goal is to make every pet feel relaxed, happy, and at home while their family is away.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 13. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and take care of their pets for short to long periods of time.

I'm currently working from home and have plenty of time to play and take out your dogs with mine. Every dog has their own routine and I want to help continue to keep your dogs on the same happy and healthy schedule for them to thrive. I have a fenced yard and two friendly girl dogs to keep your fur baby company. If you have specific request like crating your dogs or specific feeding routines feel free to let me know.

About: I have cared for senior dogs multiple times, including administering medication according to their individual needs, sometimes once or twice a day. I’m experienced with dogs of various personalities, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m comfortable adapting my care to suit each animal\. I’m also comfortable caring for different types of dogs, cats, and other animals in general. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s routine, comfort, and well-being. I absolutely love animals and would treat your pet the same as I would treat my own! Pet care fits into my weekly routine because I have a consistent college class schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have classes at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. On Tuesdays, I have classes from 12:00 to 4:45 p.m. On Thursdays, I have classes from 2:00 to 4:45 p.m., and on Fridays, I have class from 10:00 a.m. to noon. Outside of class, I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I’m dependable and willing to plan around my classes to meet each pet’s needs and maintain their normal routine. I provide attentive, reliable care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. A typical day includes feeding meals on schedule, refreshing water, giving medications if needed, taking pets outside for potty breaks and walks, and giving them plenty of attention. I also keep their environment clean and comfortable and make sure they receive lots of companionship throughout the day.

About: I was raised with cats and dogs my whole life. We have had our fur baby since he was 6 weeks old and he is now 4 years old. His name is Chunk. He loves children, animals his best friend is Baxter he is 12 years old and he is a Schnauzer. I have had a cleaning business for a little over 10 years and even tho is was not apart of my job I started falling in love with my customers babies. I will love on them, take them out to potty, give them fresh water and treats and clean up any messes they have made and then I decided to start offering to take care of them for the customers if they needed a sitter. So I take care of both cats and dogs. I never knew that I could love these babies as much as I love my family, I consider all the fur babies my family. My Chunk Chunk is my very best friend. I am his person. I potty trained him, I taught him to sit, shake, lay, and when I use the word calm if he gets super excited then he will automatically sit and behave. He is very playful with other animals. He has never been aggressive or biten anyone bc all he has ever known is love. If you choose me to take care of your babies know that I will take care of them and love them as if they were my own children. We are animal lovers and would love to meet and have more fur babies in out lives. I clean houses part time. So I am very flexible when it comes to your babies routine. When I speak with the customer I always like for the customer to write a list of the babies daily routine and then I have a filing system set up with all your babies information so we make sure everything is done when it supposed to be and then I set a reminder and a timer for breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time, snack time, and if medication is needed as well. I am super ocd so I have a folder for every baby to keep records of everything. If your baby is at my home we live in a 3 bedroom apartment they are free to run around anywhere and they are allowed on the couch and the bed. Alot of times we sit on the couch or floor with them and watch TV and get the puppy toys out and let them play. We take the puppies out multiple times a day to go potty or to go walk and let them play outside. If I watch them at your home I do like a list of instructions and what they're normal routine is so I can keep them comfortable and happy and I want them to feel safe with me. I like to learn they're personalities so I can learn who they are, what they like and what they don't like. I am one who loves to hold them alot and pet them.

Lindsey took good care of Nicky, and he came home happy and in one piece. 😊 She arrived a little late for pickup, but otherwise everything went well. Her dog seemed friendly and got along well with other pets. I would have appreciated a few more updates during the stay, but she always responded when I reached out. To be fair, it was a holiday weekend, so I understand she may have been busier than usual. Overall, I had a positive experience, and I'm grateful she took care of Nicky. Would definitely rebook with her.

Brett took really good care of our 3 dogs, and treated them like they were his own. He is very communicative and provides updates. Just ensure your dogs are on some flea and tick prevention since he lives out in the country!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rutland home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rutland.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Rutland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 .

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.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
