“Katie was patient, resourceful, and reliable. She took great care of my kitties over the holiday and solved a few problems along the way- like when the water fountain broke. Thanks Katie!”
“Such a terrific experience with Tricie caring for our dogs! This was our first experience using Rover, and we have been extremely impressed and pleased. Tricie cared for and loved on our babies and made us feel comfortable leaving them. Especially enjoyed the comments and photographs.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m a retired veteran with a flexible schedule, and I provide dependable, attentive care to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pets like family. I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate walks and drop-in visits throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets and can provide dependable care, exercise, companionship, feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins when you need them. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s routine, ensure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment, and keep you updated with messages and photos. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and respect I give my own.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 22 years and currently work at the Humane Society of Walton County. Dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals—love them all! I’m energetic, reliable, and happy to give medications or extra care so your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I am employed by Humane Society Walton County but my schedule is flexible! I service Monroe, Social Circle, Madison and Covington! Saturdays I'm at HSWC all day so there is unlikely availability on Saturdays. I only accept jobs in clients home, I abide by what the client instructs and respect their privacy and property. I will not accept aggressive dogs. I currently cannot offer boarding in my home until after summer 2026.
About: I have my own dachshund that I take care of on a daily basis but also have 3 other family dogs tha range from a dachshund to a german shepherd. I’ve always helped taken care of the family dogs growing up. I work 3 times a week and have school but my schedule is very flexible and I can adjust it around based on what I have going on. Any pet in my home that’s not mine would be treated like my own pets. They would be taken care of all the time. The same would apply in someone else’s home. I would follow a schedule feeding and letting the pets out just like I do with my own.
“She was so nice and attentive to our babies. Very easy to communicate with and very responsive. Will definitely use her services again. She was able to get pictures as well. Very pleased especially for our first time ever using the service. Great Experience ❤️”
“Tara did great with my dogs! They can take awhile to warm up normally but seemed very comfortable and happy with her. She's really responsive and was able to take care of our needs without any problems.”
“I am so impressed with the loving and professional care that Nora provided to our babies Omar, Barbie & Blaze! Nora took care of them for 8 whole days (the longest I have been away) and I couldn’t be happier! Nora paid great attention to detail, showed loving kindness & always communicated with me! I felt at ease knowing Nora was taking great care of them! Thank you so much Nora!”
About: Hey, I’m Erin! I adore meeting and taking care of all pets in my area. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old as the neighborhood house sitter! 🏡🦮 As your pet sitter, I’ll make sure your best friend is well cared for. I have plenty of time in the mornings, late evenings, and weekends! I am available Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. I am available after 3:30pm on Thursday and Fridays. My weekends are completely free. I am happy to answer any last minute requests! I will make sure your animal feels safe and cared for! I’ll keep to medication and food schedules that you provide. I love checking in with pet parents with photos and providing updates whenever you need them!
About: I’ve always been that person who immediately notices the dog before the humans (respectfully 😂). I genuinely love animals and take caring for them seriously. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, prefers a slow stroll, or just wants someone to sit nearby while they judge me from across the room (looking at you, cats), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and I’ll stick to your pet’s routine because I know consistency matters. Expect lots of updates, cute pictures, and the occasional message telling you your dog made a new best friend (me). I’m currently a PhD student, so my schedule has flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is honestly one of my favorite ways to step away from my computer, get outside, and spend time with some furry company. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive when I say I will, and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If your pet is in my care, they’re my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they stay safe and comfortable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel nerve-racking, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can actually enjoy your time away instead of wondering how your fur baby is doing.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and loved every single one of them! I also worked at an animal clinic all through high school and college, so I’ve picked up a lot of experience reading dog and cat behavior and adjusting to each pet’s personality. I’m comfortable giving medication (including insulin shots), and I can help with baths or nail trims if needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away—whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or just hanging out for some cuddle time. I am available for pet sitting in your home, walks, and drop-ins after 6 pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekend. I can offer engaging play and 30+ minute walks, whatever you like. I offer bathing and toe nail clipping per request, or if your pet gets exceptionally dirty while you are gone (it happens!), I will bathe for free. Feeding and treats will be given per your instructions, and I will do whatever your pet needs to be comfortable while you’re away, so don’t be afraid to ask!
About: Hello! I’m Logan and I live in Loganville, Georgia. I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have previously worked at a dog and cat kennel in Loganville for 3 years and have been a Rover user for around 8 years while also doing private caregiving for many pets throughout my life from Dogs/Cats, Birds, Horses and Goats, Chickens, Reptiles..You name it! When it comes to my property, I have a trail in the woods behind my home that my family has cleared. I also have a large fenced in backyard that dogs love! Furthermore, I am experienced with administering medications to many different kinds of animals. Personally, animals speak to my soul and are the best stress relievers and that’s why I love my job. I hope I can be of assistance to those who love their furry family members and I am always available to chat or you can call me at anytime through the Rover app. I have just recently graduated from Georgia Gwinnett College with a History Degree. I am currently looking to begin a career so until then, I will be at the house everyday to care for client’s pets. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets and I have over an acre of land. A portion of my land is completely fenced in for pets to run around in. I care for my client’s pets by feeding, playing with, walking/running/exercising with pets and making sure they have everything the need. Overall it’s a fun time with all furry friends while also maintaining proper care and abiding by any requests that clients have provided.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I understand that each pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own—with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is flexible and centered around your pets. I'm available throughout the week & weekends to give your fur babies plenty of love, attention, playtime, and dependable care whenever they need me! I care for every pet as if they were my own while carefully following your instructions and maintaining their normal routine! I prioritize safety by securing doors, monitoring food and water, while providing plenty of attention. I'll also respect your home and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your babies are safe, happy and loved!
“Caroline is an excellent sitter, even in difficult situations! My dogs absolutely love her and we do too! She makes sure to check in, message us for any questions and She's flexible too!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of on a daily basis ranging from 2 months old to 2 years old. I have an American Eskimo, Border Collie/Shih Tzu Mix, and Miniature Goldendoodle. I love playing with my dogs as well as taking them on walks throughout the neighborhood! I currently work in office and am available to drop by twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I am typically at home enjoying my evening if I’m not at work! I can take your dog(s) on walks and/or dog parks. I can visit often to let them out to play in the backyard and to feed him/her.
About: As a former athlete, I can bring structure and energy to any animal care filled with love. I am also finding a a passion outside of sports that I truly love! I am a online student, who works out 2 hours of the day, leaving me with a very open schedule throughout my day and also throughout the week! I have a very spacious apartment and a very loving puppy myself. Also with all the time in my day I love to take ling walks throughout my neighborhood.
About: I’m a daycare teacher and babysitter who absolutely loves caring for both kids and pets! I’ve dog sat twice so far, and it’s quickly become something I really enjoy. I love being around different pets—their personalities are so fun, and I’m always learning something new from each one. I’m very patient, loving, and attentive, and I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’d love to keep growing in pet care and make this a regular part of what I do! I work full-time as a daycare teacher Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM, but I’m still able to balance pet care reliably. When house sitting, I stay in the client’s home to ensure consistent care. I take care of pets in the mornings before work, check in during breaks when needed, and give them full attention once I’m off. I make sure they are fed, walked, and comfortable throughout the day, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being while maintaining a structured routine. On weekends I’m 100% available! I don’t have pets of my own yet! But When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel comfortable and safe. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get regular potty breaks and walks. I also spend time playing with them, giving attention, and making sure they feel calm and not lonely. I keep the home clean by picking up after the pet and following any specific instructions the owner provides. I also check in with updates when needed so the owner feels reassured while they’re away.
“Paola has been doing a great job! I have booked her multiple times. She shows great care and follows any instructions perfectly. She takes great pictures! She is also always quick to reply!”

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.
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.
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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
