About: @ahartpetsitting on insta!! I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Hermit crabs, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, chickens, you name it! I just love every animal, and I still believe that they can speak, just not when we’re in the room. I work professionally with dogs every single day as a manager of a dog care facility. I’m known for liking the “bad dogs” at work along with special needs and older pets as well (I love powdered sugar faces)! I treat each animal as my own, and I would do the same with yours! I work full time as a manager at a doggy daycare, I would be able to get you a registration forms and take your pup to work with me if you’d like! My job is very flexible so I can also come home at any point and let your pup out instead of bringing them with me. I am also open to not working during the time I care for your pet. Message me and let’s talk! If you don’t have a dog, I am more than happy to talk with you and figure out if I need to come home for breaks or not work! I care for each pet exactly how owners ask me too, just with lots of extra love! I can chill if that’s what your pet likes to do, or I can adventure. I love being outside in nature as well as cozying up on the couch :)
“Ella did a fantastic job coming to our home to watch our cats for a week. She followed all instructions perfectly, sent us plenty of pictures and videos of our cats, and even went above and beyond when we had a bit of an issue with our water fountain. Will definitely be using her again!”


About: HI I’m Heaven, and I’ve always loved being around animals. I have a one year old cat named Ponyo and a three year old English Bulldog named Molly, so I’m used to both playful energy and laid-back cuddle time. I’ve done pet sitting before and love it! I know how important it is to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m easygoing, patient, and attentive, and I try to match each pet’s personality so they feel safe and happy. I’d love to help take care of your pets and make things a little less stressful for you while you’re away! I’m currently working part time, and have a lot of wiggle room to fit in your needs! I take daily walks with my own dog and love getting to be outside with pets. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and playtime. I treat every home with respect by keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for :)
“Victoria was wonderful watching our two cats while we were away for a weekend (morning and evening drop-ins). She was thorough and detailed with her care of them, and she was a great communicator with us. I can highly recommend her and can only hope she will be available for future sitting needs. She’s a wonderful cat sitter!”

“Dan & Kat have watched our boys a couple of times now and every time it is the best experience! Our boys love them and when we're out of town we can rest easy knowing Dan & Kat are on the job. 😊”

About: On top of personally having several pets since I was a child, I have also volunteered at local Animal Shelters during my spare time. It is fun spending time with pets of all types and bring joy to my life! I have worked from home for the last 5 years. This makes it extremely convenient to take pups out for a walk and also spend time with them during the day. I always ensure food and water bowls are filled on schedule or as needed per pup. I know how nerve wracking it can be worrying if doors were locked or crates shut all the way so I ensure these are secure before leaving the home.
“Allison was amazing! She came to visit xsna prior to is leaving, which led to a smooth transition as xena is a protective cane corso. Updates for each walk were amazing with great communication through rover. She deserves 10 stats. Would book again and again.”

“Erryne was wonderful. Very professional and great with our dog. She has a veterinary background as well for those who have pets that need extra care! We will surely use her again in the future!”

About: I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks. I work full-time from 8 AM-5 PM. I have a long lunch, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day. Drop off/pickup prior to or after work is preferred, except on the weekends when I’m free. If you really need a specific drop off or pickup time, please let me know early so I can try to accommodate that. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. . First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.

“Cheyenne updated me on everything about both my animals and took care of them exactly how I wanted. To what I had seen in pictures my animals absolutely loved her and ended up becoming extremely comfortable with her!”


“Grave was the kindest professional caregiver we’ve ever had — sadly our sweet Ellie passed away on the second day of our trip — she hadn’t been sick and we will never know what happened but Grace handled a very difficult situation with such care and concern. She made sure Kai was cared for everyday knowing he had lost his companion, Thank you, Grace!”

About: I’ve grown up taking care of my friends’ pets since middle school. Spending time with animals and caring for them in any way I can is my top priority. I am a college student who has classes in the mornings but my afternoons and evenings are free almost everyday. I would love to do anything to help keep them safe and you worry free. During house visits I will care for them in the manners you ask for. I can feed them, take them on walks, and help with whatever else you like.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, ducks, geese, chickens, and roosters. I currently care for backyard animals for a regular client, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, cleaning, and making sure everything stays safe and secure. Pet sitting is my full-time job, allowing me to be fully available and attentive for every booking. My partner Brayden is also on my profile and comes with me to bookings. He has over 10 years of experience working with horses and farm animals, including owning his own horse. Together, we’re confident handling multiple animals and assisting with farm routines and basic horse care such as feeding and turnout. We always follow instructions closely to keep your animals safe, happy, and on their normal routine. I provide full-time, professional pet and farm animal care with a flexible schedule throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight stays. Because this is my primary job, I am able to give each booking my full attention and maintain consistent, high-quality care. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals including chickens, ducks, geese, roosters, and horses, and I tailor my care to each animal’s routine and comfort level. I provide attentive, reliable care with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and trust. I carefully follow all instructions for each pet’s routine, including feeding, handling, and any special needs. I maintain a calm, clean, and respectful environment in every home I care for. I also believe in clear communication and provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging from seniors to puppies of all breeds. I know owners care so deeply for their animals, therefore I will always comply with any special requests or details I’m currently a student at the university of georgia, but I have large breaks in my day to walk dogs or let them out to pee. I also have my car with me and I am happy to stay at a clients house any night of the week and commute to school those days. I follow any instructions given by the client and comply with special instructions. I am happy to just do pop ins or actually stay in homes.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Watkinsville 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Watkinsville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
