“I can’t thank Taylor enough for always going the extra mile for my babies, I’m super grateful to have him watch them when I’m away. He is very communicative, prompt and of course the pups love him! Thank you for everything, we are blessed to have you around!”
“Ana is amazing! Three drop in visits later and we always get some candid photos of the babies and the cats like her so much they play and sit on her. We will have her back to help us with the long days no doubt!”
“Brook has been fantastic. She is friendly and accomodating. She takes good care of my 130lbs dog, walking him and playing while I am gone. She takes pictures to update you, and follows directions from the routine we have. When I come home I am able to tell that my dog has been cared for!”
“Tara took such good care of our Cat! Right from the start she communicated well with us and provided expert care for our older cat who needs medication twice daily. We could see in the photos he enjoyed her visits and playtime. He was calm and relaxed when we returned home. Tara went above beyond!”
“Katie has been amazing with our house full of pets, providing regular care for several months now, from quick check-ins to short visits to overnight stays to longer stays while we are away. Katie has been INCREDIBLY kind and supportive during our present and difficult time of loss as we’ve recently had to say goodbye to our beloved 12-year-old dog Bastian. Her empathy and understanding has been such a comfort for us, and she has gone far above and beyond to make us - and our remaining pack of cats and dogs - feel supported and well cared for. She even took time out of her busy schedule to come and say a personal and heartfelt goodbye to our beloved Mr. B. He was overjoyed to see her, even in his final (painful) days, because of the sweet relationship they’d built over time. I cannot possibly recommend Katie more highly. 💛”
About: With over 30 years of pet ownership and caregiving experience, I provide reliable, loving, and attentive in-home care so your pets stay comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Following your pet’s established routines and familiar commands, I’ll ensure they feel secure and comfortable in your absence. You’ll receive photo updates and feedback on each visit, with communication as frequently as you desire. I believe great pet care goes beyond the basics. In addition to basic needs, I focus on mental enrichment, playtime, and companionship. Engaging your pet helps reduce potential anxiety, boredom, and destructive behavior in your absence. I provide gentle, patient care for pets who require extra attention and am experienced in the event of any emergencies. Currently, I own a sweet 12-year-old Senior Labrador and two rescued Lab mixes. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages as well as small animals such as rabbits, hamsters, ducks and fish. I provide full-time pet care with a flexible schedule to meet all needs. I am available weekdays and weekends, including overnight stays, drop-ins, and walks as needed. I care for pets as if they were my own, always prioritizing their safety, comfort, and routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow all care instructions closely, maintain a calm and clean environment, and ensure doors, gates, and feeding areas are secure. I respect each pet’s unique needs, provide plenty of attention and enrichment, and keep owners updated for peace of mind. Trust, consistency, and a stress-free experience are always my top priorities.
“Tamara was awesome! This was our first time using Rover.com and it was a great experience from start to finish. Tamara was responsive, came over and met the dogs ahead of time, asked great questions and genuinely cared about our two dogs and caring for them while we were gone. Each day we received daily report cards and pictures each time she came to the house. We were a little hesitant since we never left our pups with stranger but we felt comfortable she would take great care of our pups while we were gone. The house was exactly how we left it and the pups were happy!!! Highly recommend Tamara and will absolutely use her in the future...”
About: I'm very flexible, and have lots of experience with dog training/behavior and general animal care. I have volunteered at shelters, worked with dogs on farms, fostered, and even worked with service dogs! I also exept small animals, reptiles, exotics, etc. Everything furry, scaly, or feathery is welcome! I won't be able to offer boarding in my own home at this time. Sorry for the inconvenience! I'll be available to house-sit, do drop-ins, walks, and light training and grooming for those that need help with it. I treat all animals according to their needs, emotionally, psychologically, physically, and with unending patience. I'm a researcher by nature, and have acquired a lot of knowledge on all types of pets and wildlife.
“This was the second time Annie looked after our two cats. And, as before, she did a fantastic job. I may not have mentioned in my first review that we have an elderly cat that requires two small pills each morning. And she didn’t have any issues with that or with the other details associated with caring for them. They also both seemed content and that they had been well-loved when we returned home. I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: I have been taking care of my family & friends pups since I can remember and enjoy every second! I have worked with puppies less than 8 weeks of age all the way to senior dogs of 16 years and up! I have experience with working with multiple dogs at once and have one dog of my own who I treat like my child and spoil very much! My schedule changes every week but I only work three days a week so I am pretty flexible and am willing to adhere to any needs! I will make sure to keep a clean and safe space for your pets and always make sure they are taken for a bathroom break in a routinely manner! We will have plenty of time for play but also time to rest when the time comes to it!
“Flavia was an excellent sitter for Midnight. Midnight is a senior dog and does not favor many people. Flavia and Midnight connected right away. Highly recommend her for your pet and will most definitely request her again.”
About: Hi, I’m Jaime! I am an artist currently based in Marietta, GA. In my free time I love to hang out and play with my own pets, play games, and create artwork! I have had pets of all kinds but have had many cats over the years. I am a definite cat lover, but have also had experience with dogs as well! I have experience with both traditional litter boxes and Litter Robot. I am familiar with giving liquid medication to cooperative cats, and pill pockets and "ham wrapped" pills to dogs. I am happy to play with, hang with, and be a friend to your beloved furry friend, getting to know them, sending pictures, and keeping them company! I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility to work with your schedule. I am happy to accommodate where needed. I am happy to follow the rules of the household, and give your beloved furry friend all of the care they need following their regular lifestyle! I will not be able to "roughhouse" with your pets, but I am happy to provide stimulating play in other ways, like with toys, walks, or other outdoor play.
About: Hi, I'm Bryan! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who understands that your pets are family. I’ll love your furry pals like I do my own. I currently have two black cats. I did have 2 dogs for the last 7 years or so, but they stayed with their mom when we amicably split. I miss them more than anything, and I'd love to share the love I have for them with some new friends. My older dog required daily oral medication and sometimes topical so I'm comfortable administering medication that way. I'm very good at making dogs feel at ease even in stressful moments. I've also handled dog and food aggressive dogs without incident. Currently have wide open availability. I basically need about an hour notice just so I can make sure the house is comfortable for my pets while I'm gone. Each animal has their own distinct needs and personalities, I can be whatever they need. That could be super long walks, or yard play time, if they need medications I feel comfortable giving them whatever they need. My own dog has a couple of daily medications she takes
About: I’m a mom to 4 rambunctious children and 1 kid friendly chihuahua(14) and 1 loving husky pit mix(1). When most people meet my dog they are surprised at how friendly he is and how good he is with our young children. We used to have two dogs but we had to put older one down due to seizures and brain issues. In high school I worked in an army veterinary clinic as a veterinary assistant for a cooperative work experience program. My original plan in life was to be a veterinarian but after having to assist with some tough cases I decided just being a good pet owner and caregiver was more my speed. I’m a full time stay at home mom and love playing with my dogs and kids in my spare time. I’d love to help you care for your fur baby as well. I’m pretty flexible. I’m home days once I get my kids get off to school during the day. In the evenings and on weekends I take them to their respective practices or games but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to care for and give your fur baby some love as well. I like to take my fur babies for about a mile walk in the morning and then my younger pup will go on another half mile walk with me in the after noon. My older guys stays home and chills but he gets lots of love and snuggles at home.
“I've booked Kaylee many times and will continue to do so. Her communication is excellent--she responds promptly whether she can accept the job or not. The dogs seem to love her too! They look so happy in the pics she sends. Trustworthiness is everything.”
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Caylen provided for our old man. She handled his shyness with such patience and kindness, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well being. She was extremely punctual, dependable, and consistently went above and beyond. Her communication was excellent throughout our time away, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that he was in great hands. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy Plains
Lindsey was great! We had her do drop ins for our 2 cats twice a day. Our cats are getting older and having the piece of mind knowing someone is there to check on them really helped us relax on our trip. We will be using Lindsey again, she's trustworthy and you can tell she cares about animals!
Annabelle is an outstanding Dogsitter. Our dogs have been so well adjusted since she has started caring for our dogs when we travel. Her consistency of her visits makes so much easier on the dogs and we love the check-ins with pics. We are so thankful to have found her.
Karen was so amazing! I had a last minute request, and I’m so thankful I found her. She sent plenty of photos and walked and fed my girl well. When we had to exchange keys again after I was back home, Wiggy was so excited she went and grabbed a tennis ball to play with her again! I definitely recommend Karen and plan to book her again! 😊
Kati was great. We had a last second need for a dog sitter & Kati was willing to step in and help out. Right off the bat both Sadie & Tippy gravitated to Kati. She was very attentive to their needs and made sure they were well taken care of. I would most definitely recommend Kati to anyone who is need of a dog/cat sitter. She is absolutely great.
Brian has visited Zoey and Luna every day for a week. He allows them to continue with their normal routine and they are happy just sitting on the deck with him. In the pictures, Zoey and Luna are in their happy places, I would expect to find them. Thanks Brian for giving them love in my absence. And I appreciate your flexibility.
Ana was wonderful with Buddy while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. Buddy can be very picky and set in his routines, and Ana was incredibly patient and caring with him. We truly appreciated the updates, attention, and care she provided throughout the week. It made it so much easier for us to relax knowing he was being looked after so well. We’re very grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter. 💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Sandy Plains is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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 7,266 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Sandy Plains. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sandy Plains. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
