About: With over 10 years of hands-on pet care experience, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from tiny toy breeds to large working dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I provide patient, loving, and personalized care for each one. I'm comfortable administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training and good manners for puppies, and providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who may need extra patience and support. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is to treat every pet like family, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in experienced, compassionate hands. I have open availability and work from home, so your pet will rarely be left alone. My flexible schedule allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a large, fenced backyard for safe outdoor fun and can provide potty breaks every 2 hours—or more frequently if needed for puppies or senior dogs. Here's a warm, professional response that's well suited for a Rover profile: Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime while making sure they always have fresh water, meals on schedule, and a safe, comfortable environment. In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play, including access to a large, fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. Since I work from home, they're rarely left alone and receive frequent potty breaks, companionship, and lots of affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any training routines. I also make sure your home is respected and secure while keeping you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Natalie was seriously amazing! She watched our two cats while we were abroad. The power went out at our apartment for a few days while we were gone and she offered to visit the cats more often to make sure they were okay and had fresh water! She went above and beyond to help us out while we were away. I would 100% trust her to watch our cats again and can’t thank her enough for being so kind and patient! She even printed out her favorite pictures she took of them 🥹 Natalie is a truly wonderful rover.”
“Megan was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We were so nervous about finding the right sitter for our Chapo, especially since he can be reactive and very protective of his space. From the moment we met her, though, Megan made us feel completely at ease. What truly sets her apart is her patience, empathy, and genuine love for our fur friends. She took the time to understand Chapo’s personality and needs, made sure he felt safe and comfortable, and even went above and beyond by caring for his hygiene, health, and our home. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Megan does. We felt confident that Chapo wasn’t just being watched, he was being cared for and loved. We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough. Thank you SO much, Megan, for treating our Chapo like family!”
“Megan did such a phenomenal job cat-sitting for us. We have three VERY high maintenance furballs. It was clear Megan took time to play and cuddle them daily. We plan to only hire Meghan in future if possible. Very trustworthy.”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I have a beagle back home with my family, which has taught me how much pets mean to the people who love them. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs who need medication, and pets with all kinds of personalities and routines. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and comfortable! My goal is to give every pet the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own while you’re away. I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule to spend quality time with the pets I care for. I make pet care a priority and always plan my day around the pets I’m watching so they get attention, exercise, and many potty breaks!I’ll also send updates and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is doing well! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful because they’re part of the family. I always do my best to stick to their normal routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, or just giving them extra cuddles. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll care for them the same way I would want someone to care for my own. Their happiness and safety will always be my top priority.
“My cat loved Laura's daily visits! Laura was very reliable in the care and feeding of my elderly cat, including giving her medication. She also took care of a couple additional tasks like mail and watering plants. She sent daily photos and even a video.”
“Katherine was fantastic! She checked in on my cats while me and my husband were out of town. We received photos and she kept us updated. I would definitely recommend Katherine and hope to have her check in on our cats next time we are out of town.”
“Brooke is so wonderful! She really cares for my cats and is so communicative. She really puts my mind at ease, knowing my cats are well cared for. My one kitty was acting a bit off and she communicated with me every day with details about her behavior and eating/drinking habits. Having Brooke as a sitter gives us so much confidence that our kitties are well taken care of!”
“We absolutely love Chrystal. She truly loves and takes great care of our big fur babies. We’ve booked sometimes at the last minute and she’s always been accommodating and willing to help. I love the pics and updates of our babies during each visit. It’s really nice to know we have a very dependable, trusting, and caring dog lover that we can trust to take care of them while we’re away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 15. I’ve have experience taking care of animals especially with our family dog. I’m willing to do whatever I can to make sure your fur babies feel comfortable and loved. I currently work part time as a college student, and I’m usually open on the weekends. My schedule may change depending on my classes. I take care of pets my making sure they’re well fed and attended to. I’ve also make sure they’re get enough exercise so get their energy out for the day.
About: Hi I’m a city girl who loves animals and especially dogs. I grew up with dogs and I actually have my own pup named Shelby! She is a gorgeous mixed who I adopted from the pound. We love to spend time playing and training together! It helps keep us both stimulated ☺️. Me and my cat Greyson love to cuddle and he loves to play tag with his sister sometimes! I have been pet sitting since the age 10 and I have dealt with small , big, young and the old dogs. I’m able to make connections with any type of dog. I have dealt with dogs with special diets and needs. I love all dogs equally and would love to get to know your babies each. I do have doggy treats and toys but I would love to have any future friends bring their own. I also have experience working for a doggie day camp named pet paradise where I was taught and trained to understand dog and cat behavior so trust that your furry friends are in the best care! I currently have an open schedule and am home most days so I have complete flexibility to spend time and play with your furry friends! I have a one active friendly dog who loves to play and chase so if you are comfortable she is looking for a play date! I love to go on long walks and trips for treats! For my cats it depends on there comfortable level but for mines we do tons of chase play and cuddles!
About: I have taken care of animals for 22 years, and I absolutely love it. In fact, my whole life I wanted to be a Vet Tech. I love animals, and have a special connection with each of them. I am currently not working full time, as I just had a baby 6 months ago, so I am able to invest my time and energy with my children and with animals. I will be warm and welcoming to all animals, treating them like my own. I enjoy spoiling fur babies and treat them like real children. I will make sure the animals are safe, fed, comfortable, loved, and anything else that they may need! I have a two story condo, with a back patio, small grass area to walk animals, and cozy spaces for fur babies! I would also be willing to go to the dog park or Mill Creek park with the pets.

Megan visited with us before sitting with our dog, Brody. She did a wonderful job of caring for him while we were on vacation. She was punctual, sent us messages and photos at every visit, and went above and beyond during her visits with him. We will definitely be booking Megan again the next time we go out of town.
Megan exceeded my expectations in every way possible!! She took such good care of our fur babies and gave me such peace of mind while we were away on extended vacation!! She took such good care of cats and dogs and even fed fish.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Statesboro stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
