Highly-rated overnight sitters - Acworth
“Julie was amazing with Astro! She made him feel so comfortable during our meet and greet before our booking. I accidentally chose the wrong date for the booking and Julie was completely understanding and kind. During Astro’s boarding, she loved on him and sent us updates throughout the day. Book with her!”
“Megha is truly the best, she’s the only person we’ve used with rover and I hope the only person we ever have to use. Georgia has the best time there and I know she’s well loved and taken care of every time she stays.”
“Allisha took such great care of my dog while I was away! I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands, and I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Kim and her family took wonderful care of my 15-year-old senior Yorkie, Gucci. From the daily updates and photos to the extra snuggles and individualized attention, it was clear he was treated like part of the family. I was especially impressed by how calm and well-managed the environment was. Even with several boarding dogs of different sizes and personalities, everyone seemed relaxed, comfortable, and well supervised. They adapted to Gucci’s senior needs, found a feeding routine that worked for him, and I loved hearing that he enjoyed walks with one of his little buddies🦮🐕. I also appreciated their honesty, communication, and the way they handled every situation with care, which gave me confidence that Gucci was always their priority. Thank you, Kim, Skyler, and the entire family for loving on my little guy—I know he was in kind, caring hands.❤️”
“This was our second time leaving Phoebe here. We wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of our girl. We got daily updates, pictures and videos. While we missed her terribly, she did not miss us at all 😆”
“Megan is awesome. She took such great care of my senior special needs cat Ginger. Her home is very calm and inviting which made my very anxious kitty feel immediately at home. I am so happy I found Megan. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Kelsey did a wonderful job. We got pictures every day of our pups going in walks, hanging out on the couch, and enjoying their stay. They got a bath before they came home. Would definitely use Kelsey again!”
“This was my first time using the Rover app. I’m not sure what I was to expect but this Yeidysis made this a great experience. She was easy to work with, very responsive in communicating with me when I wanted to check on my dog and he came home just as cheerful and playful as the day I dropped him off. I look forward to working with her again for boarding my dog. 5 stars all the way!!”
“Jeana always does a great job and and is our first person to reach out to anytime we need a dog sitter. Charlie loves spending time with her. Also, excellent at giving updates on how your dog is doing with pics! Thanks Jeana!”
“Alexandra has kept my babies several times now and I just love her!! They love going to her house and spending time with her family and I'm so grateful to have found them!!!”
“Christina was a life saver. My regular sitter wasn’t available and she agreed to care for my dog 2 days before I went out of town. I shared that my dog has never really been around other dogs and I was a bit hesitant. Christina assured me she would be fine and sent me pics of her actually playing with the other dogs!!”
“Jada provided excellent care for my dog. This was the first time that we had left him in the care of someone for 7 days so my nerves were wrecked because I was missing him. But Jada’s amazing care and love that she provided Astro put my mind at ease. I can’t thank her enough for all of the pictures and daily updates. Book her asap! I most definitely will be booking her for any needs for my fur baby.”
“Karina was very accommodating, communicates fast, and gives you clear expectations. My doggie spent a few days with her and her furry babies, and I got pictures and updates all throughout! I will definitely trust her again with my dog♥”
“Bryce was very responsive and took really good care of my dog. It was our first time using him to take care of my dood. He sent pictures and updates several times a day. Kept me up-to-date when he noticed an issue with my dog. Thank you Bryce!”

“Anna was amazing. She took such good care of our kitty and was so communicative. We got lots of pictures during our trip and was able to get our shy baby out after 1 visit that took previous sitters several visits before she felt comfy enough to come out. Highly recommend booking her to care for your pets!!!”
“First time using Rover and we were lucky enough to get Dora. It was a great experience and we highly recommend her to take care of your fur baby. We definitely will ask for her next trip! Thanks for taking such wonderful care of Hidee!”
“I was very nervous to leave my senior cat Nicky in the care of someone other than family for the first time however Mindy took excellent care of her while I was away. She was very prompt and timely and sent photos to let me know Nicky was doing ok. Nicky was in great condition when I arrived back. I will be booking with Mindy again in the future and recommend her services!”
“It was such a piece of mind to have Suzie look after our fur babies. She did such a wonderful job, even though our two cats hid from her 😆. I would hire her again in an instant.”
“Thank you so much Claudia for keeping a check on our “old man”. I appreciate you tidying everything up and leaving the key back. I’m sure Liam looked forward to you coming even though he kept to himself. If we ever need services again you are who we will call!! Thank you once again!!”
“Susan is INCREDIBLE! She responded quickly to my request, was flexible with setting up a meet and greet, and followed instructions perfectly. We got so many sweet photos of our cats while we were away and detailed updates! Both cats (one of whom is very shy and I fully expected her to never really see 😂) ended up hanging out with her and accepting pets from her. I highly recommend Susan as a reliable pet sitter and will continue to use her services!”
“Jennie was the perfect choice to look after my cat, Bigfoot. She sent pictures daily and noted the behavior of my cat each day that she was with him. I could comfortably enjoy my vacation with ease knowing that Bigfoot was in good hands 😊!”
“Varsha was amazing. We and our 2 cats connected with her immediately at our Meet and Greet. We ended up chatting for almost 2 hours! She’s so easy to talk with and is so knowledgeable about cats. Our girls immediately liked her and kept asking for pets and attention. Varsha followed our feeding instructions perfectly and was on time for every visit. She sent lots of pictures and was able to navigate the security system at our complex without any issues. Best of all, our cats were well fed and seemed calm and content even though we were gone for 4 days. We will definitely connect with Varsha the next time we need to travel.”

About: Hello, pet moms and dads! 🐾 I’m new to Rover, but definitely not new to pet care! I’m excited to turn something I genuinely love into a little extra cash. I have around 10 years of experience caring for pets, from watching the dogs/cats of family, friends, and neighbors to volunteering at my local shelter. I also occasionally foster and love taking shelter dogs and cats out for a day of fun, whether that means getting some fresh air, exploring, or simply giving extra love and attention. ✨I also have experience administering meditation. ✨ I’m also a proud pet mom to two dogs of my own: a 12 y/o , 7 lb Yorkie and a 6 y/o, 60 lb Lab/Pit mix. Fun fact: my Lab/Pit and I are birthday twins! 🥳 I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, sticking to their normal routine, and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup wants to play, go on an adventure, cuddle on the couch, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and little check-ins, so you can relax knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and getting absolutely spoiled while you’re away! I also know firsthand how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust with your pet. I want to do everything I can to make you feel comfortable throughout the process and give you peace of mind while you’re away from your furry friend. 😬✨🐶 I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m free after 5 PM for evening visits and walks! My weekends are wide open, so that’s when I have the most flexibility. I just ask for a day or two of notice when you can so I can plan. accordingly and be fully prepared for some quality I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, keep an eye on their behavior, and make sure they have everything they need before heading out. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions from owners because nobody knows your pet better than you do. I’ll always make sure to keep doors, gates, and other escape routes secure, and I’ll send regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing.
“Nicole took care of our fur babies as if they were her own. I enjoyed all the wonderful pictures and great updates. I will be asking her to stay with them in the future and have recommend her to others . She was professional, loving and exceptional caretaker. Feels like family .”
“Cassandra was amazing!! She took care of my cat for a couple of days and went above and beyond and made sure my cat was loved and taken care of. I couldn’t have done it without her!!! Def recommend Cassandra !!!”
“I always feel a deep guilt whenever I leave my cat for over 24 hours. This time I hired Sara while I was out of town for 4 days and I never once felt that sad, guilty feeling. She took such great care of Remy, I could tell he loved her from the pics she sent. She put on cat tv for him, kept his litter boxes clean, played so well with him. She even went the extra mile and straightened up my place some. And she is so sweet btw! Genuinely just one of the most pleasant people I’ve ever met. Would hire Sara to watch Remy a million times over, seriously”
“Markia did a wonderful job with my cat Norman, especially for it being her first time with him. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and followed all of my instructions carefully, including taking extra care with his food, Norman has no teeth, so his dry food needs to be softened with hot water, and she prepared it perfectly, even better than I usually do. I really appreciated the thoughtful touches, like putting out catnip for him, and I was pleasantly surprised that Norman came out for her, which says a lot given how shy he is. I would definitely book her again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Acworth
“Jennie and her family are amazing. She takes such good care of Samara while I am at work. Samara loves her big fenced in back yard, her girls and getting to play with other pups! She always comes home wiped out from having a good time! Thanks, Jennie!”
“Kelsey and Marcus were such a great match for Freda. When I picked her up, she was so happy and I knew she was treated with the utmost love and enjoyment. I would definitely have Freda stay with them again when Freda needs a safe and caring place to stay!”
“I really appreciate Jada for taking in our Everest especially at the last minute. Jada sent pictures and sent several updates. I even got a report on Everests day. I highly recommend Jada and will let her keep Everest again.”
“Angie did a great job watching our pups for us during daycare. It was our first time booking with her and she was very thorough in learning about our pups, checked their shots were up to date, and sent us lots of photos during their visit. Both were super happy and content in her home. We would definitely book with Angie again!”

“Jan and her family took such great care of Bentley and Celine! Jan sent so many pics and videos and my fur babies were only there for the day. Some sitters don’t send any pics the entire weekend. So I appreciate the attention to detail and the care provided! I also enjoyed the cute stories she provided as well! ☺️ I will definitely be booking again when I need a sitter! Thanks again!”
About: I work from home, have a fenced in backyard, a flexible schedule, and only take one family at a time. I have experience with animals across the lifespan from bottle-fed kittens to senior dogs, special needs pets, and a variety of different animals. I've had pets my whole life: cats (kittens and seniors), dogs (puppies and seniors), birds, fish, and even a domestic rat named Mortimer. I am the first person my friends and family ask to pet sit, because their animals love me, and I love them like my own. I used to foster for a pet rescue and had 10 cats at one point. They were all well taken care of and somehow they all got along! I even fostered a paraplegic cat who I took to physical therapy and had to help him eliminate manually, and a diabetic cat who I had to give insulin injections to. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows for plenty of playtime in the fenced in backyard, cuddles, and walks in our quiet cul-de-sac community. My goal is to provide affordable, reliable care for those who may need to be away from their fur babies during the day or during travel, and want a safe, loving, fun place for them to stay. I have a fenced in back yard and a quiet community, perfect for daytime dog care or boarding. My 7 year old daughter loves animals and is a good helper. Between the two of us, your pet will never be bored or lack for companionship. When caring for dogs, they must be good with children and I would like to arrange a meet and greet beforehand. I prefer to pet sit one animal at a time, or one family at a time (if the family has multiple pets). I prefer not to have animals from different families at the same time, to avoid causing stress and discomfort for the animals.
About: Hi there! I’m Sara, your pet’s new best friend 🐾 I’m located in the Kennesaw/Acworth area. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I am eager to help pet parents with their fur babies in any way I can! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them truly brings me joy. I’m a naturally gentle, patient, trustworthy and reliable person. I love building real bonds with the pets I watch. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I also have a background as a veterinary technician, so you can feel confident your fur baby is in knowledgeable hands. Some things I can help with: • Daily walks & playtime • Feeding & routine care • Medication • Lots of love, attention, and updates 🩷 I have my own transportation and can be available as needed. I treat every pet (and house) like they’re my own, and I’d be honored to care for yours! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I can accommodate my schedule to your pet’s needs so that you get the most out of my care. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes through house sitting and drop-in visits, so pets are able to stay in their familiar environment and routine. I believe this helps reduce stress and keeps them comfortable while their owners are away. During house sitting, I treat your home and pets with the same care and respect as my own. I follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and bedtime routines exactly as requested. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and enrichment based on their personality and energy level.
About: I have been an avid dog lover my entire life. I currently have a hound/pittie mix. They are my whole world. I have watched over dogs of varying age, breed, and size. You can rest assured that I will treat your baby like it was my baby. I’m also well versed in watching dog reactive pups. I work hybrid during the week- three days in office and two at home. Days in office are usually half days. Weekends are spent at home. I make sure they go out for potty breaks often and ensure they spend time outside whether it is in a backyard or taking a walk.
About: I recently moved to Kennesaw and I’m so excited to connect with new families and their beloved pets in the area. I’ve been caring for animals professionally for several years through Rover and independent clients, and I bring a calm, confident presence to every home and every visit. I’m a stay-at-home mom to a sweet and curious two-year-old who often comes along with me for walks and drop-in visits scheduled before 3:30pm. She’s been around animals her whole life and is always gentle, quiet, and supervised. If you’d prefer solo visits, I’m happy to book those later in the day. I have hands-on experience with: Senior pets and animals with special needs Administering oral medications, injections, and topical treatments Dogs of all sizes and temperaments Cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small mammals, and even insects (yes, really!) I currently share my home with a sweet elderly dog named Molly and one quirky cat, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or multiple check-ins while you’re away, I provide reliable, loving care with great communication and attention to detail. Let me know how I can help—I’d love to meet you and your animals! Since recently moving to Kennesaw, I’ve had to part ways with many of my long-time clients due to distance—but I’m looking forward to building new connections (and new routines) with pets and their people here! My schedule is very open right now, and I’m able to accommodate a wide range of visit times, whether you need early walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. Caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I live with my dog Molly and two quirky cats—Squid and Sashi—who keep things fun, fluffy, and interesting. Every day involves walks, feedings, medications if needed, scooping, snuggling, and lots of love, so incorporating visits with new pets into my routine feels natural and easy. As a stay-at-home mom to a one-year-old, I plan my day around caregiving. For visits before 3:30pm, my daughter usually tags along. She’s gentle, calm, and used to being around animals from day one. If you’d prefer solo visits, I’m happy to schedule those later in the day. Pet care isn’t just part of my job—it’s woven into my every day, and I truly love it. Whether I’m stopping by your home or welcoming your pet into mine, I do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like one of my own. I take the time to get to know each pet—their routines, quirks, and favorite things—so I can keep their days as calm and consistent as possible. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and attentive to your pet’s needs. I handle everything from feedings and walks to medications and playtime, and I’m always happy to follow any specific instructions you leave. I love giving updates with photos and little notes, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. At my house, pets are treated like family. I live with my dog Molly and two sweet (and very entertaining) cats, Squid and Sashi, so visiting pets need to be comfortable around other animals. I offer a cozy, clean, and pet-friendly space with plenty of room to relax and play. I’m home most of the day, which means lots of attention and a low-stress environment for pets who might be nervous in a new place. Whether it’s a walk around the block, a drop-in visit while you’re at work, or a weekend sleepover, I care for every animal with kindness, patience, and lots of love. ** I don’t currently offer overnight stays, but I’m happy to schedule multiple drop-in visits throughout the day to keep your pets comfortable and well-cared for in their own home. Whether it’s morning, midday, and evening check-ins—or just a custom schedule that works for you—I can make sure they’re fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

“Claudia has been fantastic in going to walk Bodhi. She’s communicative and takes lots of pictures & Bodhi really likes their walking adventures. He was very receptive of her from the first meeting so I’m thrilled to have her stopping by a few times a week to take him outside while I’m at work.”

About: Hello Pet Owners, I work from home most days and have plenty of time for drop ins, walks and overnight stays. I will do my best to make time away from your pets as stress free as possible. I have experience administering medications if needed. I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs. I am available weekdays and weekends.

Communication is key and will provide updates and photos at least twice a day
About: I help care for the family pets including, a dog, cat, two guinea pigs, and chickens. Growing up around many animals has allowed me to experience the affection and different personalities of different animals. I’m in search of a job currently so I have plenty of time to take care of any pets. On weekdays during the morning and nights! Feel free to text and ask about afternoons or weekends. I learned from a young age how to care for pets. Providing, food, water, outside time, playtime, and affection. I often love taking my dog out on walks/trails to get him out of the house.
About: Hi! I have been loving, raising, and training dogs since I was in middle school, including my family dog, Pipso, an Australian Shepherd mix, and 2 cats as well: Gizmo and Jelly Bean. Now, I have a 10-year-old Husky mix named Rizzo, who I love with my whole heart. I love helping dogs and cats get the love and exercise they need, and getting to help someone out at the same time! I am a voice teacher, so my availability will be limited some afternoons, but I always do my best to keep my availability accurate, and I never schedule a walk/sitting unless I am 100% available! I will also always communicate how long my work will keep me away from your pet; transparency is key! Your pet's safety is always most important to me, so I always make sure never to bite off more than I can chew, even if that means not being able to accept a sitting/walking job. I can't wait to meet your furry friends!
About: Hi, I’m Mike! If you’re looking for a responsible, mature professional to care for your home and keep your dog’s daily routine perfectly intact while you're away, I would love to help. While I am new to the Rover platform, I have over 30 years of experience as a dedicated dog owner. Currently, my wife and I have two incredible Labrador Retrievers who are truly our third and fourth children. Now that our human kids are grown and out of the house, I'm looking to fill some of my free time by doing what I love most—hanging out with dogs and giving them the dedicated attention they deserve. I specialize in overnight house sitting because I know how much happier and less stressed dogs are when they get to stay in their own environment. Because I’ve raised large, high-energy breeds for decades, I am entirely comfortable managing dogs of all sizes, keeping up with active exercise routines, and maintaining structure. When I watch your dog, they aren't just getting a quick check-in; they're getting a companion and the exact same love, safety, and attention I give my own Labs. I’m excited to give you total peace of mind on your next trip. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family members! Working remote from home gives me the opportunity to set my own schedule with with regards to taking care of dogs. I can be available several times throughout each day to drop by for potty breaks, as well as for walks to let them stretch their legs. I'm pretty much available from 7:00 a.m. on, which we can obviously coordinate based on your needs. The big thing for me is to fully understanding your needs and expectations with regards to your dog. Whatever those expectations are, I commit to provide that service and care as if they were my own animals. Our two Labrador Retrievers are my third and fourth child, and I view others' pets as important to them!
“Caden made an instant connection with my dog Charlie. I introduced them and then they went on a walk together. I immediately booked Caden for the three days the following week. He was on time all three days and notified me when the walks were finished. He brought in my UPS package and texted me. He also gave Charlie a drink and filled up his water dish. I found Caden to be very personable, on-time and responsible. I unconditionally recommend Caden.”
“Ethan was accommodating to my schedule change, and my little fur babies appear to enjoy their walk very much. Love the pictures that were sent and would definitely recommend. I look forward to reaching out to Ethan again for more walks.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my combination of hands on vet tech experience and personal experience caring for a special needs dog of my own. This gives me a well rounded understanding of both medical awareness and everyday pet comfort. I’m confident handling everything from routine care to recognizing when something isn’t quite right, and I stay calm in stressful situations. I also know how important patience, consistency, and gentle handling are, especially for pets that need a little extra support or have specific health requirements. I am a free bird as I just recently separated from the United States Navy. So my schedule is as open as open can be! Any day and time of the week you need me I am here! I care for every pet as if they were my own, focusing first on safety, comfort, and consistency in their routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as given so the pet stays in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. I keep their feeding, walking, medication, and play schedules consistent, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can quickly notice any changes in appetite, mood, or health. With my vet tech experience, I’m confident in recognizing signs of stress or illness and responding appropriately, including seeking veterinary care if needed. I’m also especially mindful of pets with special needs, senior pets, or puppies who require extra supervision, patience, and gentle handling. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment that is calm and structured. I supervise interactions at all times, ensure pets are never put in unsafe situations, and provide plenty of enrichment, attention, and comfort so they feel secure and cared for.

About: I have over five years of hands-on experience caring for animals and provide a safe, structured home environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Animal Behavior, which helps me better understand pet communication, stress signals, and positive handling techniques. Because I work from home, pets receive consistent supervision, attention, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. My home includes a dedicated indoor play area for bad weather and a separate cat room with climbers and scratchers to keep feline guests comfortable and enriched. I also have experience caring for animals beyond dogs and cats, including birds, reptiles, and small mammals. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine since I work from home and structure my day around the animals in my care. Pets receive regular playtime, feeding, enrichment, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, they are rarely left alone and I’m able to closely monitor their comfort, behavior, and needs. Pets in my home are cared for in a safe, structured, and comfortable environment where they are treated like part of the family. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and rest to help them feel relaxed and at home. Dogs receive supervised play and attention throughout the day, while cats have access to a quiet, dedicated cat room with climbers, scratchers, and cozy resting areas. Because I am home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone and I am able to closely monitor their comfort, behavior, and overall well-being.
“Julie was amazing with Astro! She made him feel so comfortable during our meet and greet before our booking. I accidentally chose the wrong date for the booking and Julie was completely understanding and kind. During Astro’s boarding, she loved on him and sent us updates throughout the day. Book with her!”
“Megha is truly the best, she’s the only person we’ve used with rover and I hope the only person we ever have to use. Georgia has the best time there and I know she’s well loved and taken care of every time she stays.”
“Allisha took such great care of my dog while I was away! I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands, and I really appreciated the care and attention she gave him. I would definitely recommend her!”
“This was our second time leaving Phoebe here. We wouldn’t trust anyone else to take care of our girl. We got daily updates, pictures and videos. While we missed her terribly, she did not miss us at all 😆”
“Megan is awesome. She took such great care of my senior special needs cat Ginger. Her home is very calm and inviting which made my very anxious kitty feel immediately at home. I am so happy I found Megan. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again.”
“Kelsey did a wonderful job. We got pictures every day of our pups going in walks, hanging out on the couch, and enjoying their stay. They got a bath before they came home. Would definitely use Kelsey again!”
“This was my first time using the Rover app. I’m not sure what I was to expect but this Yeidysis made this a great experience. She was easy to work with, very responsive in communicating with me when I wanted to check on my dog and he came home just as cheerful and playful as the day I dropped him off. I look forward to working with her again for boarding my dog. 5 stars all the way!!”
“Jeana always does a great job and and is our first person to reach out to anytime we need a dog sitter. Charlie loves spending time with her. Also, excellent at giving updates on how your dog is doing with pics! Thanks Jeana!”
“Alexandra has kept my babies several times now and I just love her!! They love going to her house and spending time with her family and I'm so grateful to have found them!!!”
“Christina was a life saver. My regular sitter wasn’t available and she agreed to care for my dog 2 days before I went out of town. I shared that my dog has never really been around other dogs and I was a bit hesitant. Christina assured me she would be fine and sent me pics of her actually playing with the other dogs!!”
“Jada provided excellent care for my dog. This was the first time that we had left him in the care of someone for 7 days so my nerves were wrecked because I was missing him. But Jada’s amazing care and love that she provided Astro put my mind at ease. I can’t thank her enough for all of the pictures and daily updates. Book her asap! I most definitely will be booking her for any needs for my fur baby.”
“Maria and Ken were both very very amazing. They are extremely friendly, have a beautiful and clean home, and a mini doodle themselves. Communication was perfect, we got photos and videos of Leo, and he was clearly very happy there! I would definitely have them look after Leo again, without question.”
“This is our 2nd time using Andy's services and we certainly plan to board our dog with him again. Andy was very communicative and flexible. He sent several photo updates and I could tell my dog had the time of her life. Highly recommend!”
