“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!”

“Awesome sitter! They took great care of my two dogs for five days and kept me updated throughout the stay with daily messages and updates on how they were doing. It was clear that my dogs were happy and well taken care of, which made me feel much more comfortable being away from them. No complaints at all, and I would absolutely book with them again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

“You MUST book with Brandi. My yorkie, Mater really enjoyed himself. Brandi responded quickly when I messaged her and sent extra pictures (she sent multiple pictures already as her routine) to me daily of my sweet boy when I messaged about him. Her family loved on Mater and he felt at home. I must add that when I picked him up after my vacation, Mater whimpered as drove away. This means everything! He was sad to leave.”

“Elizabeth was incredibly kind to Mama, did not try to coax her to do anything scary, and was and incredibly kind to me, as I was in the middle of a move and needed some slack on times, etc. I WILL DEFINITELY BE CALLING ELIZABETH AGAIN!!”

“I loved how Monica stayed in touch with me the whole time she had my Raja, we received videos and updates the whole stay. I definitely recommend her to anyone! I will definitely be reaching out to her again when we need a sitter.”

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! 💕💕

“Imelda is such a sweetheart! She did such a good job taking care of my big baby boy Henry LOL he is so sad whenever I leave and she was able to pull him out of that funk and keep him entertained while I was gone. She also was able to take care of big guy Lou and keep him said well the whole time lol. Thank you so much imelda, they can't wait to spend more time with you next time!”

“Carmen was great with Susie. She made her feel at home. Susie has been introduced to a cat and did very well! Susie will definitely be staying with Carmen again in the future! Thanks for loving our pets while away!!”

“Milena was wonderful baby sitting my dogs while i was on vacation in Australia !! She keeps you up to date with them by sends pics to you of them as well !! She’s very lovable towards animals. I definitely recommend Milena. You will be worry free leaving your dogs with her !!”

“Shellawn was a great sitter! She was very caring and kept me informed with updates, pictures, and videos. She took her to the dog park and Leia especially loved playing fetch with her son. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Definitely recommend!”

“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.”

“Kayleigh and her family took excellent care of my girl, Ellie. She communicated frequently, sent photos, and showed my Ellie so much love. Her sweet daughters were so loving and playful with Ellie. Highly recommend!!”

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!

I am comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I strive to provide and safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my 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 adapt my care based on each pet's age, energy level, and specific needs to ensure they feel safe and well cared for.
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Smarr
I cannot say enough good things about Brooke and her mother, Deidre. Easily one of the nicest and most thoughtful sitters we’ve ever worked with. Excellent communication, and just super friendly from the introduction via the app all the way through the stay. Anabelle was very well taken care of, and we would absolutely recommend their services to anyone needing a sitter in the North Macon or Monroe County area again!

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!

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.
