“Sophia was fantastic: completely reliable,conscientious, and kind to our kitty. I was so relieved to have such a great pet sitter. We were able to relax on our vacation knowing she was taking such good care of LuluBelle. Highly recommend!”
“Everything went smoothly with Jennifer watching my little kitties over the weekend. She provided us with great pics and detailed visitation logs and her communication was great!”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“Carol took great care of my cat and sent lots of pictures! She came to meet him before we went away which helped put us at ease. She also brought our mail in for us! Would definitely recommend Carol!”
“Kristen took care of Rusty like I would take care of him. I am at peace knowing he is in good hands while we were away. She gave me so many photos to update me. Thanks, Kristen. I will definitely request her again in the ver near future.”
“Tori was awesome! She took great care of my cats during the drop-in visits and kept me updated with photos and notes. Everything was clean and my cats were happy as could be when I got home. Highly recommend!”
“We are so very grateful for Olivia’s care of our senior dog. She came to meet him and we had a good feeling about her right away. She has been punctual with her visits, quick to respond to any communication from us, and thorough with her reports of her time with our boy. We look forward to continued visits from Olivia, and our pup does too.”
“Callie came for a meet and greet. My dog was belly up and waggy very quickly. We decided immediately that we found our sitter. She is bubbly and eager and has good attention to detail. I have a few rules.. they were followed explicitly. We have decided to do weekly drop ins leading up to an overnight. Callie has been here and our pup loved her time with her. I can relax knowing she’s in good hands”
“Jacqueline 🐕🦺🐾 was great. While I was away, she took time out of her schedule to check on both my cat and dog. They both enjoyed our company very much. She was kind, timely, and responsive to all of my messages. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.”
“Andrea is absolutely amazing! Our Scooter is a very shy boy and Andrea went out of her way to come visit him multiple times before our plan trip. She is very responsive and gave our boys so much love while we were away. HIGHLY recommend ! We will for sure be using Andrea again for future trips . Thank you again , you are the best!”
About: I've always felt that animals deserve the best care they can get. I have experience with Senior pets along with Great social skills when talking to people. I'm also a firm believer that Animals will tell you their boundaries and that those should be respected. I also have experience with Rodents such as guinea pigs and Rabbits along with Reptiles. I have a very open schedule when it comes down to taking care of pets. I'm willing to spend as much or as little time with pets that you would like. I have 2 Dogs who are friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats that tend to mind their own and avoid the dogs. They all get along with each other. I don't have a fenced in yard so walks would be our go to exercise. I also have a Guinea Pig but he is kept in his own room the other animals do not have access to.
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
“This was our first time working with Raquel, and it went very well. She stopped by to spend an hour with our two dogs, Tate and Penny, well also feeding them and giving them lots of love. Raquel was very good communicator, was on time, and provided photographs of her time with our dogs. We are really excited that we found Raquel and look forward to having her spend more time with our dogs, Tate and Penny in the future. If anyone’s looking for a five star Pet Sitter on Rover Raquel‘s your gal!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes and personalities and love them all! All of my dogs have been raised from puppies through their senior years. I recently said goodbye to my Boxador, who fell ill and required special care for many months. Whether shy, spirited, or somewhere in between, I tailor my care to each dog’s personality and needs. I have cared for pups with health challenges and am confident in my ability to provide gentle, reliable support, including medication administration and comfort-focused care. My schedule is currently flexible, allowing for morning, daytime, and evening care. I am available as needed for walks, play time, boarding, and any other adventure that brings your pup joy. In my home, dogs are more than guests. So long as it is okay with their guardian, pets here are welcome to lounge on furniture and sleep wherever they feel most comfortable. My back yard is full fenced in (privacy fencing on both sides and secure, post fencing in the back facing a wooded area). I live in a very safe, walkable neighborhood for those that enjoy a stroll. It is very important to me to respect my client's care instructions, regardless of my own experiences or preferences. I will make every effort to maintain consistency and ensure your pup feels at home at all times.
About: I’ve always had multiple dogs and cats in my household since I was a little kid and grew up naturally wanting to take care of them. After leaving my family home, I adopted my own 2 kitties and currently live with 2 other cats and 2 dogs. Along with this, I worked as a manager at Playtime Pet Resort for a year, a doggy daycare and boarding facility, while also working in the yards as well as taking care of the dogs overnight when I lived at the facility for about 5 months. I recently moved to the area from the city and I am currently not working so I have a completely open availability at the moment. I am completely comfortable and enjoy adhering to a list of instructions for your pets. I have no issues with crate training or giving oral or topical medications to pets as well, this is something I’m very used to doing with working at a pet resort.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rutledge
Lauren took such great care during drop-in visits while we were away! It had been a long time since we had someone come to our house rather than boarding and we could not have been happier with the care Lauren showed to our Australian Shepherd, Betsy while we were away for an entire week. She had very clear and kind communication, was very much on time and always uploaded pictures of Betsy after each visit. The entire time we were gone we felt comfortable that Betsy was in great hands and would absolutely book Lauren again in the future as well as recommend her to others.
We are so lucky to have found Rachel! She took amazing care of our dog, Marnie. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and I could tell she was taking care of our dog like she was her own. She was reliable and I could enjoy my trip without worrying about my dog or my house. Will DEFINITELY be using Rachel to watch Marnie in the future.
Jacqueline 🐕🦺🐾 was great. While I was away, she took time out of her schedule to check on both my cat and dog. They both enjoyed our company very much. She was kind, timely, and responsive to all of my messages. I look forward to working with her again in the near future.
Chen is excellent with my reactive dog. She has a gentle and confident approach and instinctively knows how to manage my dog's anxiety and quickly made her feel comfortable with her. Now they are pals. I highly recommend Chen as a pet sitter especially if your pet has any fear/anxiety/special needs issues!
Karen was wonderful with my 2 dogs! She is reliable, caring and kept me updated with photos and messages. My dogs were so well cared for and I could see how happy and content they were in the photos! Knowing they were in such good hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would highly recommend Karen to anyone!

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 Rutledge 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.
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 Rutledge 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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Rutledge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
