“My kitty is 16 years old and usually takes a long time to warm up to someone new. Cheyenne was wonderful with her and made her feel comfortable right away (I was amazed!). Made it very easy for me to relax and enjoy a few days away. I will definitely book with Cheyenne again!”
“Ashley is so attentive and truly a blessing to my fur baby. I was nervous with this being my first Rover experience. He immediately took right to her. She communicates very prompt and effectively. She is efficient and not only walks my baby but spends time playing with him and feeding him. I definitely recommend booking Ashley! She is a great photographer too. Always sending pic and videos on his Rover card!”

About: I’ve taken care of sweet dogs, fearful dogs, young dogs, old dogs, sick dogs, high energy and couch potato dogs. All dogs like me and I like them. We snuggle on the couch, play and take naps. I don’t take large dogs anymore unless they are seniors. I’m retired and I live a quiet life. I love all animals and enjoy their company. Pet sitting is not a chore for me - it’s a joy. I’m home most of the day so your pet won’t be lonely. Your dogs are royalty at my house. Don’t expect discipline. They play, nap, get snacks (according to what you bring) watch TV, go on leash for potty breaks. If they need a schedule for meals or meds- no problem. What they get from me is ATTENTION.
About: I’m a reliable and caring dog sitter and walker who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup needs a fun walk to burn energy or a calm, comforting presence while you’re away, I’m here to help. I was lucky to have my late dog, Molly, for 11 amazing years, so I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and overnight care. I always pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether that means extra exercise, patience with shy dogs, or lots of belly rubs.
“Very happy with our sitter Korey! She is great with our cats. She was patient with our one cat that is not so friendly and she even turned on cat TV for them all to enjoy!! We even got some pics of the one enjoying the cat tv!”
About: Hi there! I absolutely love animals of all kinds and have spent years turning that love into hands-on experience. I’ve been a dog trainer for 5+ years and have over 6 years of pet sitting experience, so your pet will be in knowledgeable, caring hands. I have open availability for boarding and I’m flexible with scheduling for training and drop-in visits. Dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around other dogs and small children. If you’re looking for more structured support, I also offer board-and-train options. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away 🐶✨ My schedule is pretty flexible I’m available for boarding anytime and dog walks. I’m also usually always available for drop in visits. message me and ask about availability I have a big yard with lots of room to run and 2 friendly dogs to keep your furbabies company. We also have a crate if you keep your pup in a crate at night or while gone and they can be easily crated if need be.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have only met a couple that was not interested in being my friend. Total dog dad with 3 seniors in the home, all are super friendly. They enjoy walks on the beach every day and are very comfortable around other dogs and people. Our neighborhood is very pet friendly and there is a park just a block away. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My pups get plenty of attention each day and enjoy playing with new friends. Your pup will be right at home in our house. It’s very relaxed and calm. We can also do drop in visits to your home, go to the beach, or to one of several parks on the island. I know how it feels to have to leave my furries behind, so with that in mind , I’ll do my best to keep them distracted while their humans are away.
“Emma took great care of my Skynard. He was ready to relax when I got home from work the past couple of days. His walks with Emma helped him burn some energy! Thank you for taking care of my sweet boy.”
“We were so happy to have Melanie take care of our sheltie for a couple of days. Foxy was well cared for and we had peace of mind that our sweet pet would be properly looked after! We highly recommend Melanie and will use her again!”
“Staci was super sweet and kind to Lola. She works at the humane society which helped me be so much more relaxed because I knew she would know how to take care of her. Will definitely ask her to pet sit again!”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and spending time with other animals such as birds, reptiles and rodents. When I was a 10 years old my father and I partnered together to train a service dog for a family friend. I am an expert in animal behavior and training. As I got older I have been a very reliable and trust worthy person my family and friends have depended on for pet care. I can provide affordable, quality pet care for both dogs and cats. I promise my utmost attention and excellent care to each pet I sit. I am working a part time job and actively taking college courses. I am available for house sitting Sat-Tues, however I work Wed-Fri only being available in the evenings for sitting. I understand how important safety is to every pet owner. I do not board pets but I will take every precaution to ensure your home and pet are safe and secure.
About: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I would be honored to be your pet sitter. I am a passionate animal lover with experience providing both overnight/in-home pet sitting and drop-in visits for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I have had a blast caring for my neighbors’ dogs, friends’ pets, and other local families' furry companions. Through positive experiences and word-of-mouth referrals, I have continued to gain pet-sitting opportunities by networking and building relationships within my community. In addition to pet sitting, I have hands-on experience potty training puppies from raising two of my own. I am also especially comfortable working with anxious dogs, as I have an anxious dog myself and understand the patience, consistency, and reassurance they need to feel safe and comfortable. I take pride in making sure every dog feels happy, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away, and I treat each pet as if they were my own. I am currently working a very flexible job, so I would have lots of time to check on your pups! I have pretty much full availability for the summer except for one trip from June 29 through July 2. When caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, fresh water, and feeding according to the owner's instructions. I also make sure pets receive lots of affection and companionship so they feel secure while their family is away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities, including puppies who are still learning routines and anxious dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. Because I have raised two puppies and have an anxious dog of my own, I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and individualized care. Communication is extremely important to me. I value keeping owners updated with messages, photos, and check-ins, and I want pet parents to feel confident that their dog is receiving excellent care. I always follow the owner's preferences and instructions, and I make sure any decisions regarding their pet are discussed with them whenever possible. My goal is to work as a team with each owner to ensure every choice is in the best interest of their pup's health, happiness, and well-being.
About: I have been around all types of animals my whole life. Having marine biologist parents we had some unique pets: dogs of course, turtles, cats, bunnies, etc. I have experience with senior dogs and cats and overall love being around animals! I am currently a student at Georgia State but have plenty of free time. I am available on weekends and on Tuesday and Thursday after 2:30! I treat every home with the upmost respect, keeping things clean and just as you left them! I follow your pets routine as closely as possible and I’m able to crate you pet it needed.
About: I pride myself on being a loving and attentive pet sitter! Some of the services I am able to provide are long peaceful walks around my neighborhood and reliable transportation for small adventures like the beach! I have ample time throughout my days to provide excellent care for your fur baby. I work from home so I am usually always avaliable. My mail priority with any animal is making them feel safe. Whether that means treats and warming up slowly at their own pace, or playing until they can't play anymore!

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 Saint Simons Island 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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
