“Ray took great care of Dottie while my family was out of town. He sent pictures and videos updates regularly. I am very pleased with our experience. Thank you for taking excellent care of Dot Dot!”


“Kayla was amazing! She watched my dog for a few days and kept me updated every single day, which gave me real peace of mind. This was my first time using a sitter, and she made the whole process feel easy and completely stress-free. I could tell my dog was well taken care of and in good hands. I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future!”

“I can’t recommend them enough! This was my first time leaving my 10-month-old puppy, Ollie, for several days, and I was honestly so nervous. They immediately put my mind at ease with regular updates, photos, and great communication throughout my trip. Knowing he was in such good hands allowed me to actually relax and enjoy my vacation. I’m so grateful for the care they gave him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy! 🤍🐾”

“Tanya is awesome she is patient living and caring for Sayon she took good care of him she is lije family I felt confident that Sayon was in good care. I have found a second home for my baby when I travel out of town Tanya kept me posted everyday sending pictures letting me know he was okay”

“While I was on a trip, she looked after my baby. I was terrified to leave him with someone. I felt bad that he believed I had abandoned him. When I was able to speak with her, she kept me informed, which is helpful because it gives me a basic notion of whether he's affected, leaving him with someone else so we can plan how to handle it going forward. Also it helped me cope leaving him. He was happy when I picked him up.”

About: I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with pets and have spent my life feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for animals of all ages. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and deserves patience, love, and attention. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, medication reminders, or just someone to keep them company, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust, and my goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and happy while you're away. I currently offer pet care Friday through Sunday. During the weekends, I'm able to provide attentive care, including walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and companionship. I only accept bookings when I know I can give each pet the time and attention they deserve, so your furry family member will receive quality care while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a securely fenced yard and a fenced outdoor patio where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and play under supervision. Pets are never left unattended outside. Inside, they are treated like family with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I can follow your pet's normal routine, administer medications if needed, and accommodate crate-trained dogs if that is part of their routine. I also have two friendly Yorkshire Terriers who enjoy meeting other dogs, but I always introduce pets carefully to ensure everyone is comfortable.
About: I'm a life long dog owner with 30+ years of experience. I'm excited to provide a safe loving home for your furry companion. I am also experienced in training and special medical needs. I'm a registered nurse and I now work from home part time. I leave very rarely so can spend my days and nights focused on your pup! I am able to provide a very flexible schedule to fit your needs. I have a large unfenced yard with extra long leashes so we can run and play outside safely. Your dog will never be left alone outside alone but I can take them out as often as they like. I like to stay very active but safety is my priority so no matter what we do, your dog's well being is first and foremost 😊 I also absolutely love taking photos so you may end up with some devastatingly adorable pictures as memories of their stay with me! 💕💕
“Randi was awesome!! She kept my pup for 6 days and when I picked him up he had been bathed and groomed. Communication was easy. She went above and beyond and made me feel comfortable while I was away. 10/10 would recommend”

“Madison was wonderful with my senior dog. My dog was comfortable with her right away, she clearly was very well taken care of and I felt completely at ease during my trip. Highly recommend!”

“Milena is the best!! She cared for my fur baby almost the entire week. I was overloaded with pictures and videos which put me at ease while I was away. She cared for Benji as if he were her own. Thank you again for caring and loving my Benji while I was away! ?”

About: I've taken care of my sisters dog many times also watched dogs for my mom's friend.I also worked with dogs at my school before so I've made sure to pay close attention. I just graduated high school. So I have a lot of availability to care for or walk your baby.I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need I don't have a fenced yard but I do make sure I pay close attention to your animals and I live in a safe neighborhood that's really quiet.
“Lindsey took good care of Nicky, and he came home happy and in one piece. 😊 She arrived a little late for pickup, but otherwise everything went well. Her dog seemed friendly and got along well with other pets. I would have appreciated a few more updates during the stay, but she always responded when I reached out. To be fair, it was a holiday weekend, so I understand she may have been busier than usual. Overall, I had a positive experience, and I'm grateful she took care of Nicky. Would definitely rebook with her.”

About: Most of my experience comes from caring for my senior beagle, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. He still has plenty of energy, so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, and keeping a steady routine. I study from home most days, so I’m around a lot and can give dogs regular breaks, attention, and a calm place to hang out. I’m a medical student who studies from home most days, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I already take my own dog out for daily walks and breaks, so adding another dog to that schedule works well. I can easily fit in regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and checkins throughout the day. I live in a pet-friendly with plenty of open areas to walk. Inside, I keep a clean, supervised, and cozy home. I treat every dog gently and carefully, just like I treat my own.
About: I care for every dog and cat as if they were part of my own family, giving them plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. From feeding and walks to playtime, cuddles, and following any special routines or instructions, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you're away. I'm dependable, attentive to detail, and committed to providing the same level of care and compassion that I'd want for my own pets. You can relax knowing your furry family members are in caring, capable hands. I’m currently working part time but I only work 3 days out of a week. I don’t have a set work schedule so I would say I’m pretty flexible. I have an open yard so it’s a great place for activities and exercise. I do have a crate at home if that is what’s needed.

About: I have taken care of animals since I could remember! I have helped take of animals for friends and family and co workers! I have experience with cats and doggies! I also have experience with senior pups and puppies! Currently I am in OTA school! My schedule is early mornings for class and cuddles for your animals all night! Currently I have weekends open to help you and your pets out! Though I live in an apartment, we have easy access to dog parks and a large play area! I love to crochet and hang out with all of the fuzzy babies! I like to follow schedules and lists that are provided and will make sure you get a lot of pictures and updates of your babies! We will probably have a lot of play time outside as I am an outdoor lover! Your pet will be treated like my own!

About: I have over 5 years of pet care experience and work at Critter Fixer Veterinary Hospital, caring for animals with safe, attentive, professional care!

Pet care is a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around providing timely potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I make sure Im avaliabe throughout the day depending on bookings, and I adjust my routine to meet each pet's needs while maintaining reliability and consistency. In my home or client's home, I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding on schedule, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medication intructions. I also provide supervision, enrichment, and a clean, safe environment.

I’ll definitely be using her services again in the future!

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Kayla! She took such wonderful care of our sweet Sage and sent frequent photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Kayla is such a kind, genuine person, and truly cares about dogs. We're so grateful we found her and would absolutely trust her with Sage again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!🐾

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 Smarr 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 Smarr.
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 Smarr 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.
