About: I've enjoyed having a dog since before I moved out of the house. My current dog, Leo is very friendly with all the neighbors-the kids love to stop and pet him. I've helped with dogs and cats when friends and neighbors are out of town. My sister's dog, Ferguson, a terrier/chihuahua mix has stayed with us off and own for a few years. It's interesting how you rise the occasion when you have a sick pet. My dog Sampson suffered from cancer several years ago now, and part of the treatment was to provide him with subcutaneous saline. In exchange for all the love and comfort a pet provides, it's paramount that we as owners provide the same in return. I am a recent retiree and have a flexible schedule. Weekday and weekend opportunities to help people with their pets is easy for me to do. All my dogs have been crate trained. When we leave the house it is not an issue to use the crate. My current dog, Leo behaves very well in the house alone, so we use the crate less and less with him. Almost always he camps out by the back door waiting for us to come home.
About: I've forever had a love for dogs. Shadowed in a vet office for two years and have seen animals been given oral meds and other treatments. Have owned several dogs. Currently have 1 dog named Chester. Also have worked with pregnant dogs (my mom has bred several litters). Comfortable with any breed or size. Passionate about every animal not just dogs. I love to go on walks and I'm an excellent trick trainer I might add. I work full time, but I work from home so I am flexible to work with a schedule for feedings and walks. I also can have portable monitor so I can work from other locations besides my home. If I plan to watch you dog overnight, I prefer to do it in the client’s home. Generally, it makes it more comfortable for the dog. Adjustments can be hard and they are already getting used to an unfamiliar face taking care of them. Please do not hesitate to reach if you have fee adjustment requests or questions!
About: I have had both cats and dogs in my care since i was 10 years old, my ex husband’s cockatiel, and a brief stint with a snake in my adult life, too. I also have 2+ years in pet sitting and dog walking experience. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and attention I’d want for my own. I offer drop-in visits and walks, sticking to your preferred schedules and habits so your pet feels secure. You’ll get honest, regular updates with photos every time I visit. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. My flexible availability allows me to spend quality, unhurried time during drop-ins or walks. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or a longer midday visit, I’m able to stick closely to the timing they're used to. When caring for pets in your home, safety and security are my main priorities. I make sure double gates and doors are secure, stay observant during walks, and follow your exact house rules. I take care to leave your space just as I found it and keep you updated after every visit so you know everything went smoothly.
“Jacqueline did a great job checking on 5 dogs for me! It was super last minute and she was willing to come over to do a meet and greet and then let them out the very next day. I can tell they were very happy and had a great time with her.”
About: I grew up with a Doberman (Raven) and a Shih-Tzu (Salem) who I loved dearly. Now, I have a cat named Harvest who I adopted in early 2025. I volunteer with Lifeline’s “Dog for the Day” program periodically where I take a dog from the shelter to Piedmont Park for 3-4 hours. Joy, the white dog in one of my cover photos, was my first dog for the day. I am available Mon until 3pm and all day Fri for drop-in visits and dog walking. I can also house sit Fri-Sun, beginning Fri evening and leaving Sun evening. I live in a quiet one-bedroom apartment with my cat, Harvest. I'm often reading or sitting out on my balcony enjoying the peace.
About: I am an Atlanta-based young professional providing dedicated house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs of all sizes and have a special place in my heart for pets that take a little while to warm up to people. I understand how to respect your pet’s boundaries and build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk or a quiet, comforting presence while you are away, I will care for them with the same respect and patience I would my own! - Drop-In Visits & Short Walks (Monday – Friday): Available for early morning check-ins (before 7:30am) or anytime after 4:30 PM. - House Sitting (Overnights & Weekends): Available 7 days a week for overnight stays. On weekends and holidays, I have open availability to spend the day caring for your pet in their own home. I like to schedule a Meet & Greet with your pet before finalizing an appointment to help get them as comfortable as possible and build trust before you go! For pet safety, I always keep your contact info, your veterinarian’s information, and the nearest emergency vet address readily available.
“Jeremiah was fantastic! He took great care of our crazy lab and two cats lol! He was very communicative and made sure to reach out promptly if any questions came up. He also was flexible, which was great for us. I know our pets were well taken care of. I 100% recommend!”
“Anna was amazing! The kittens loved her and she was so helpful. She even brough some packages in while I was away. She always communicated ahead of time if plans changed. Anna left sweet updates about the kittens every day and took lots of pictures. I appreciate the time she spent with my kittens and am certain they would love to see her again :)”
About: I first started dog sitting back in 2019, where I looked after a Golden and her mutt sister for two weeks over the summer. I had always been fond of dogs, but that experience showed me what it means to be fully responsible for the wellbeing of a pet (or two!) I like to think that over the past six years I have grown as a caretaker and I plan on continuing to do so! As a restaurant server, there are 2-3 days per week that I do not work. On those days I have off, I am more than happy to dedicate however much time to your pups as needed. I will do my best to not change anything about your pet’s environment but rather adapt to said space and help them feel as comfortable and in their element as I can.
“Bryan was amazing! He took great care of our two cats while we were away for Thanksgiving. He is so kind and took the time out of his holiday to make sure they were set. We can’t recommend him enough!”
“Another fun visit with Maria! Bentley and Maria have clearly bonded. He was happy to see her and enjoyed cuddles and belly rubs. Maria even thought to put dog shows on the tv to keep him company until I got home. Thank you Maria - we will see you again soon!”
About: I've lived with dogs all my life (Chihuahuas, Beagles, German Shepards, and more), and I've come to really love cats in adulthood. I started professionally pet-sitting at 15 years old. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, and I've seen it all when it comes to pet health needs (I'm a pro at eye drops and oral meds). I know what it's like to worry for your pets while you're away, especially when they have special needs. That's why I make sure all my pet parents are updated consistently and can rest assured their pets are in good hands. :) I recently got back from a few months of traveling in New Zealand, where I got to care for some really sweet pets in between my adventures. Now I’m settling back in and job hunting in Atlanta, which means I have all the time in the world for your fur babies! I'm inside the perimeter and am happy to drive anywhere in Atlanta to stay with your pet or pop-in as many times as you need. I’m gentle with pets, highly communicative with parents, and ready to take on anything your pet needs while you’re away.
“Elan was great in a very unusual dog sitting situation. It is obviously that this is more than a job for her, but a labor of love. She sent daily reports and answered any questions we had about their welfare. I would definitely use her again!”
“Zhiyu is the best, and I highly recommend her! She took care of my fur baby like I would. I will definitely call on Zhiyu to take care of my cat when I travel again.”
About: I’ve owned dogs almost my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Animals are my passion and in addition to pet sitting, I foster for LifeLine Animal project. I’ve fostered over 25 dogs in my time as a volunteer. Through volunteering, I’ve also taken a Behavior Treatment class for shy/fearful and leash-reactive dogs, so if your pup has some behavioral special needs, I’m more than happy to take the time to make them and you as comfortable as possible. I so look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I work from home 4 days a week and 1 day a week in the office on Wednesday, with some flexibility. I am available to pet sit in your home or for drop-in visits. My schedule can be modified to accommodate the needs of you and your pets! I treat your pet with the same love and attention as I’d treat my own. Animals are family, and I appreciate the trust you’ve given me to provide the best care for your pet.
About: We’ve always been huge animal lovers! I (Jasmine) grew up with two dogs and two cats, and now Chris and I live in Atlanta with our dog, Max. Between us, we have over 8 years of pet sitting experience and have cared for pets with all kinds of personalities and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, couch cuddles, or just wants a comfy place to nap, we’re happy to follow their lead and make them feel at home. We also know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so you can expect plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. Our goal is simple: lots of love, attention, and a home away from home. We’ll probably get a little too attached by pickup time ❤️ We currently work from home on the days we offer pet care, which means your pets are never left unattended or rushed. Because of this flexibility, time is never an issue. We are able to fully focus on each pet’s needs throughout the day rather than fitting care around a busy schedule. Our day already revolves around our dog Max’s structured walk and care routine, so caring for other pets fits in naturally. This allows for multiple walks, regular potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, feeding on schedule, and plenty of attention. Our home is clean and free of clutter, providing a safe and comfortable space for pets. We have a secure, fenced balcony for fresh air and supervised time, and we share our home with a small Australian Shepherd who is friendly and well cared for. With plenty of space and constant supervision, pets can relax, play, and feel right at home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scottdale
Elisabeth did a fantastic job with our three pups. She followed all directions and made the whole process worry free. She has a great calming energy, which even put our shyest pup at ease during our initial meet and greet. We feel lucky to have found such a gem and look forward to using her again in the future.
We had a great experience! Our boy has some anxiety and can take a little while to warm up to new people, so we appreciated how patient and understanding she was. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand and took the time to let him get comfortable at his own pace. She was great with him during their first hangout, and we feel comfortable having her for future drop in visits!
Kamron was awesome with our dog and friends dog that was staying over. We asked for a last minute drop in and Kamron came through! He left great feedback. It was such a relief having someone we could trust to check on them. He was super quick to respond. He also paid attention to detail and took great care in what we needed. We will use him again for sure! Above and beyond, excellent experience.
We were pleasantly surprised to see our Barley so relaxed and himself when we arrived back home after the visit. We knew Jennifer and he would be great together since Jennifer has such a peaceful and attentive nature. We received wonderful photos of him looking happy and calm. Love them! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of Barley and allowing us to get out of the house for a bit without the worry. We appreciate your time and looking forward to the next visit very soon!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Scottdale is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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 7,157 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Scottdale. 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.
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 Scottdale 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 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.
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 Scottdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scottdale. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
