“We recently had the privilege of selecting Deborah as our sitter for Scarlett, our 6 months old German Shepherd. Scarlett was there for a 6-day visit while we vacationed. Scarlett adjusted immediately to Deborah's handling of her, the change in environment, and the other dogs. She really took a liking to Deborah's dog Sugar. Also, Scarlett is a large puppy and I have a little trouble with her on the leash. Deborah showed me a better way to manage her when I walk her! We would definitely use Deborah's services again and I definitely recommend her.”

“We really enjoyed Joey! He and his wife are the most precious people!! Very inviting and warm. I love how they treated Harley and I could tell they are experienced. I read other reviews that Joey can even teach your dog certain training techniques and sure enough....our dog does better with walking on a leash! I will definitely use Joey again!! ?”

About: With over 20 years of experience, your furry friends will have the best care and affection they could ever want. In addition, I provide daily reports and feedback to keep you informed while you are away. Currently a stay-at-home mom, so I can be quite flexible and work to your schedule. Our family is ready to help your pets feel secure while you travel. We have 3 acres of fenced-in land for your dog to roam free. In addition, we have a house and climate controlled barn should your babe need more space to themselves. Our ambassador hound Hermes should be able to keep them company as well.

About: "Can I pet your dog?" If you've ever walked past us on the street, you've probably heard my daughter, Lorelai, ask that question. She has never met a dog (or cat) she didn't want to love. The truth is, she's not the only one. Our family has always believed pets are family. Our beloved dog, Cinnamon Roll, was so special that he became the star of my children's book. When your pet stays with us, they'll be welcomed into a joyful, loving home where they'll receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and photo updates. Whether your dog loves to play fetch or prefers curling up for a nap, I'll make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. As a mom, I know how hard it is to leave someone you love in someone else's care. My goal is to give you peace of mind and give your pet a little vacation of their own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member. (And yes... Lorelai will probably ask if she can pet them. ❤️🐾) Pets fit naturally into our daily routine! I work from home most days, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods. Morning walks, playtime in our fenced yard, cuddle breaks, and plenty of potty breaks are all part of the day. I keep my schedule flexible to make sure every pet gets the attention they deserve. Weekend stays are always welcome, and I can accommodate many holiday bookings as well. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play, and a clean, smoke-free home where they can relax just like they would at home. I only accept a limited number of pets at a time so I can give each one the attention they deserve. I'll follow your feeding schedule, medication instructions, and daily routine as closely as possible, and I'll send plenty of photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and having fun.

About: I treat every dog and cat as if they were my own—offering not just feeding and walks, but real love, attention, and comfort. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and detail-oriented, making sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic playtime, calm cuddles, or administering special instructions, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. With me, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in compassionate, capable hands. I’m currently not working so just trying to keep myself busy while helping others with their busy schedules, I love all animals and I look forward to helping anybody out. I’m free basically every day, I go to the gym and that’s about it for now, please contact me for further details! I have a fence built, I have three cats and a dog but right now I’m not looking to host any dogs, just dog sitting or walking

About: I have always had a soft spot in my heart for dogs. I have carried this love into adulthood and I enjoy having them in my life. When your four-legged family member is with us they will be treated as one of the family. They will be doted upon and they will be constantly engaged, touched, and talked to. We go for walks in our 1-acre fenced backyard, which facilitates safe rewarding exploration and discovery. We allow the visitors to play and interact with our loving and friendly standard poodles who are great role models to each other and to visiting pooches. Even though your baby will be on their doggie Vaca, We will still use every opportunity to encourage learning, good manners, and good behavior by giving treats and positive reinforcement throughout the day. Stability, engagement, routine, and structure makes a happy dog and we aim to make sure that every four-legged friend who lodges with us, is happy and never wants to leave. Our resident babies eat twice per day and are allowed out for potty breaks three times per day. If it is a rainy day we do indoor activities in our 35x40 temperature controlled dog suite and we even watch a little "Dog TV" We have a great time, rain or shine! Sleeping arrangements will depend on what your baby is comfortable with but we do not allow our pets on the furniture or in our beds (at least when daddy is around). We have kennels but we allow the dogs to sleep anywhere they want to in the dog suite. I am a retired nurse and I am always home so I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs in my day. We have a huge fenced in backyard where all the dogs enjoy their time outdoors. We also have plenty of equipment in the yard for their enjoyment.

About: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a middle school educator. Outside of teaching and working with students, I have a huge love for dogs. I have three family dogs, two girls and one boy, and I truly enjoy each of their unique personalities. Funny enough, my boy dog’s birthday is the day before mine, so I always joke that we have the same personality! I have always been the type of person who instantly notices dogs wherever I go. Whether I’m walking around town or traveling on vacation, I’m usually the one saying, “Oh my gosh, look at that dog! I want to go pet them!” I even find myself feeling emotional when I see stray dogs because I wish every dog had a loving home. Animals bring so much joy, and being around dogs has always been something that makes me genuinely happy. I am currently a school teacher, so during summer break I have open availability and more flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. Once the school year begins, my availability will mainly be during evenings throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by their owner. Pet care for me includes making sure they receive their meals on time, have fresh water, go on their daily walks or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention. I also love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them affection so they feel cared for while their family is away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shady Dale home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Shady Dale.

Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Shady Dale sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
