About: Love going on walks, dog parks, taking my fur babies to the groomers, Marshalls/homegoods to pick out toys, and giving lots of treats and belly rubs. I’m available 3-4 days a week at your convenience for whatever tasks you need assistance with. Just specify any additional details or routines and I’ll be happy to help :) In my home pets are considered children. They are my literally fur babies so any pet I care for, will receive the same treatment guaranteed 🐾🐩🐈‍⬛

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them part of the family. Until last year, I cared for my own dog, Tank, who passed away at 14. Caring for him through his senior years taught me the value of patience, close observation, and keeping a pet’s routine as comfortable and consistent as possible. Tank occasionally had seizures, which gave me firsthand experience remaining calm, reducing stimulation, helping keep a dog safe from injury, and closely monitoring them while following an owner’s or veterinarian’s instructions. I understand that every pet has their own needs, personality, routines, and comfort level. I’ve also dog sat for family members and truly enjoy making sure their pets receive dependable care, affection, exercise, and companionship while they are away. I’m detail-oriented and will follow your instructions closely. Feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and house rules to favorite toys, training cues, and any special needs, your pet will feel safe, loved, and cared for in your absence. I work part-time as a caregiver for a person with a disability, a role that has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to individual routines and needs. Because my schedule is flexible, I can accommodate a wide range of pet-care routines, visit times, and scheduling needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I focus on keeping their routine safe, comfortable, and as familiar as possible. At my home, I have a yard available for regular bathroom breaks and a small park nearby for daily walks, exercise, and fresh air. I do not have any pets living with me full-time. From time to time, I care for my mother’s friendly French Bulldog, Vinny, who enjoys being around other dogs. I will always communicate in advance if another dog may be present and will make sure introductions are handled slowly, safely, and according to your pet’s comfort level. In a client’s home, I will follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, house rules, and any special routines or needs. My goal is to provide dependable, detail-oriented care that helps your pet feel secure and well cared for while you are away.

About: I have worked and shadowed at three veterinary clinics over the past three years, where I have cared for many dogs and cats, along with their numerous needs. I also have a dog and two cats at home that I take on walks, feed daily, and play with. I am currently shadowing two veterinary practices part-time, where I have improved my animal caregiving skills. I am available the majority of the week to provide pet care for others, as can be seen on my calendar. I have very good time management skills and I will always put your pet’s care as my first priority. I will make sure to follow any and all instructions given to me for caring for your pet, and I will be very respectful of your home in the process.

About: I got my start in dog care when my peers would trust me to watch or walk their furry friends while they went on trips. I have always had a facisnation with pups although I have yet to take care of my own. Currently, I am in the process of job hunting therefore I am working from home while creating my own hours. I am able to give pups a few hours of uninterrupted attention if they require it or allows them to lounge if they are more independent. I live in a building that allows dog in Midtown ATL. They will be able to get walks around the city at least twice a day (this can be adjusted per owner's request) as well meet another furry friend on the elevator. I am strict to whatever guidelines an owner has regarding feeding and never miss a time or do anything extra.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I’m very active, so your dog won’t just get a quick walk—they’ll get quality exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I’m patient and attentive, which makes me great with both puppies and senior dogs. I can help reinforce basic training like leash manners, potty routines, and simple commands for puppies, and I’m gentle and understanding with older dogs who may need a slower pace or extra care. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable—and to make your life easier too. Caring for pets is already a big part of my daily life, so it fits seamlessly into my routine. I make time each day for walks, playtime, and check-ins, and I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time with dogs. I structure my week to make sure every pet gets consistent attention, love, and care without feeling rushed. I care for every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—so they feel safe and comfortable. I create a calm, loving environment with lots of attention and affection. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with senior dogs, and always make sure they’re happy, exercised, and well cared for. I also keep you updated with messages and photos so you never feel out of the loop.

About: I’ve had animals all my life. From dogs to cats to exotics. My pathway in school was for animal science which I have my certification from that class. I also have worked at a vet before so I would say I definitely have some experience! Right now I mostly work from home so I’m pretty flexible. Whether that be for boarding or potty breaks I can pretty much make anything work. I have a section of my yard fenced off so they can just go out and potty but also love to take them for walks in my neighborhood! If they get along with other dogs great! If not I can manage to keep everyone separate if boarding is preferred at my house.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was very little! From bottle feeding kittens and newborn puppies, to the older furry friends who need extra attention in different ways. I currently am a stay at home mom to a very friendly and pet safe 4 year old. We take everyday as a new adventure which allows plenty of flexibility. From tasks as serious as medication administration and special diets to as simple but important as preferred toys in their beds so they sleep just like they would if you were home, I will be more than happy to care for your pet as my own.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Viola

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Viola is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $25 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 481 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Viola. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Viola. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
