“Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about Jamie and what an amazing and wonderful sitter she is. Rover only allows me to give 5 stars but she is worth so much more. She is so caring and loving to your animal and so responsible and attentive to not only your pet, but your home and all that goes with it. Our boy absolutely adores her as do we! Oh, and she takes fantastic pictures and A LOT of them. That along with a very detailed and thorough rover report card make travel and being away from your pet so much more relaxing and enjoyable. Seriously, if you are looking for a sitter book her! I promise that you can't do better.”
“Cheney was an excellent caretaker of my cat, and was very responsive to messages and directions. I came home to a happy pet and felt good that she had someone attentive looking after her.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats through pet boarding, daycare, veterinary hospital settings, and professional pet transportation. I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and individual needs. My experience has taught me to recognize changes in behavior, prioritize safety, maintain clean and comfortable environments, and provide patient, compassionate care. I understand how important it is for pet parents to trust someone with their animals, and I treat every pet with the same attention and love I would give my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m comfortable building my schedule around each pet’s individual feeding, exercise, medication, and potty routines. I enjoy having animals as part of my day and make it a priority to give each pet consistent, attentive care while keeping their normal routine as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medication, and rest. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, calm space with plenty of attention and supervision. I also keep pet parents updated so they can feel confident their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve been watching my friends and my friends families animals for a few years now while they vacation or anything comes up. I’ve done the walking, the repetitive throws back and forth, and the quick check in during a storm just to make sure they haven’t chewed the house to pieces. I’m naturally an early bird so checking in earlier then my normal 6-3ish work schedule isn’t an issue and anytime after I’m usually free I have a fenced in run area for free running if they’d like. My porch is screened in so they can have the outside time without getting out.
About: Hi there! My name is Jenna I am a fur mama & a mama to my daugther. I am a Special Education Early Interventionist within the North GA area, with a flexible schedule allowing me to help & love on your fur babies :) I have taken care of animals since I was very young. In addition, we are an animal loving family- Birdie (our 4 years old Plott hound), River (our golden retriever 1 year old), two cats, (Molly & Kitty), and Teddy (our sweet little hamster)! I firmly believe pets are truly family! I love to ensure that clients can feel comfortable leaving their pets in my care and enjoy their trip away from home knowing their pets are in great care. I would be more than happy to help you and your fur baby- whether it is needing an extra set of hands throughout the work week, such as drop in visits or a fun walk, to extended help when you may be away. My jobs offers a lot of flexibility within my schedule, therefore I have plenty of time to love on your pets and ensure that they get some fresh air & exercise daily. I can easily crate or provide a safe space for your fur baby, as requested. When watching a clients pet my intentions are not to simply provide the minimum care, I ensure that pets will receive plenty of attention, love, and exercise when in my care in order to ensure the fur baby feels comfortable while their loved ones are away.
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats my entire life at home and for family/friends. During college, I worked as a pet expert at Pet Supermarket and have a wide variety of knowledge about pets. I currently work in Woodstock, and have a schedule that allows me to accommodate various needs and preferences, making me available for check-ins during both morning and evening hours. I currently live with my furry friend, Theo, who loves to lay in the sunshine out on the porch. I ensure daily playtime with a variety of active toys for exercise and a healthy vet-recommended diet.
About: I have worked in Veterinary Meicine for 10+ years and have always had a special ifinity for animals of all kinds. I was Fear-Free certified and worked with a trainer, so have many skills that I can utilize when making your best friend one of mine! Up until recently, I was traveling for a living, but circumstances have changed, so I am now at home full-time. My availability is wide open. I will follow all rules/quirks I am told and will use my previous experience in all fields to ensure the safety of all of your pets!
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.

“Connie is the absolute best! She is kind, friendly and has a wonderful heart. She is reliable and dependable and always sent us photos. She cared for our ? kids as if they were her own. We will always have a place in our hearts for her. We will most definitely let her care for our ? kids and would recommend her to everyone.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Throughout high school I dog sat and house sat while friends and family were away. I just moved here from Texas and am starting school in the spring at KSU. Throughout college in Texas I dog walked, did doggy drop ins, and house sat. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! I’m currently in school full time and am a dance instructor. I have class Tuesday and Thursday but am able to take care of your pets throughout the week! I have a fenced yard with two big dogs of my own and foster a small chihuahua currently. I have worked with dogs that are high energy and dogs that are not friendly towards other dogs.
About: My love for animals started at a very young age. I feel like it all started when I was feeding the stray cats in my hometown. Over the years I have developed my love and knowledge of all animals I can. I volunteer at an animal shelter I can in the north metro ATL area. At these shelters when working with cats my main focus is always on getting them as socialized as possible, but also help with any vet care needs such as giving oral meds or Sub-Q fluids. When working with the dogs I focus on socializing them but also basic obedience training and leash manners. I have 5 dogs, 2 cats and 13 chickens that I have either rescued or had since they were babies. I have a very open schedule. I pet sit as a full time job when I’m not taking care of my mom or my own animals. When in a clients home I always be sure to keep an open line of communication. As well as a detailed log of the day’s activities, if we went on walks, and anything that seems to be note worthy
About: I have grown up with dogs so I’m used to all kinds of dogs. From puppies to seniors. I also used to volunteer at animal shelters. I’m currently working part time and do most of college online. So I have plenty of time for your pets! I also have a very flexible schedule. I’m committed to providing quality care in the environment your pet is used too. My goal is make your pet feel well taken care of.
About: Hi everyone! My name is Kelly. I have over 25 years experience working with animals.

“Alycia was great! She visited my dog twice a day for a week and was always on time and very respectful of my home. She was quick to provide updates too. I 100% recommend her services!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since I was 15 when I first started dog sitting for my neighbors elderly dog. Since then, my experience has grown from household stays to quick drop by’s when you’re away at work. I’ve taken care of puppies, elderly dogs, and cats of all ages, understanding that all pets have their own unique needs. I’m recent graduate from Kennesaw State University, which means I have plenty of extra time to dedicate to pet care! I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and friends, and I’m excited to find even more opportunities. I have open availability and am happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I am following their usual routines, making sure they feel at ease and well-loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and always respect their space and needs. To ensure you feel good about leaving your precious fur babies with me, I provide daily updates and pictures to keep you connected!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rydal is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $18 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,060 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rydal. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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 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.
