About: I’ve taken care of dogs and have had dogs of my own for a long time. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to take care of their pups! I currently have a beagle puppy! I’m currently available with a flexible schedule and can provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your schedule and keep you updated while you’re away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel safe and cared for. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain attentive to our surroundings. In your home, I’ll respect your space, follow all care instructions carefully, and make sure your pet receives the same love and attention they’re used to. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“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.
“Ashley did such a great job with Ruger. She came to our home twice while we were away. She dropped in on time, took pics of Ruger for us, and let us know how he was doing. She took him outside to go potty, fed him and gave him water. She played with him for a little while and he warmed up to her right away. HUGE thanks to Ashley for “peace of mind”, being able to leave home all day knowing our sweet Ruger was happy and safe with her. 🥰”
About: Iv grown up my whole life caring for animals. I started when id help my grandmothers with their dogs and eventually ended up with a family dog as well which I helped without the most. That was until I got my very own pet cat and have been taking care of her by myself for years. I loved animals so much I have devoted my college experience to studying marine biology. Right now I am at college for summer conditioning since I am on the basketball team. I have practice from 9-11/30 so I don’t start drop-ins till noon but after noon I’m happy to come visit as much as you would like. I listen to you. Whatever you need or want me to do for your furry friend i am happy to ablige. I want to give your the best experience its owners are away.
“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!”
“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: I care for animals as if they are my own and have experience with a wide variety of dogs. I also volunteer at the humane society once per month. I work from home so am able to give my own animals, and yours, the love and attention that they deserve while you are away. Walks, pets or treats - I'm here to spoil them! I typically have a flexible schedule. I am home most weekdays and weeknights to do drop ins, short walks, car rides and an occasional pet/house sit! I have a fenced yard and animals are monitored while in the yard. Yard is well maintained and pleasant for animals to play or sunbathe.
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’m young and fit and can walk dogs all day and happy to do it. I have had large dogs like golden retrievers and small dogs such as my Jack Russell. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. I have a two bedroom townhouse with a large living room and plenty of rooms for pets. My neighborhood has sidewalks great for walking. I have a pet proof car with a cover on the backseat. I am also on the wag application and have accomplished over 80 dog walks and have a perfect five star rating. I’m happy to go above and beyond for you and your pet. I work at a seasonal business and am in the off season now so I have extra time now for pets.
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.
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.
“Melanie came on short notice for the first time and stayed longer than I expected her to. It was just a one-hour visit, but she sent several pictures, and I could tell Tucker was happy. I will definitely be using 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!”

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.
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 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.
