“My dog Marcelo had such a wonderful experience with Katie. Since the beginning she made sure he had a great time and updated me with bunch of pictures (loved it!). I've left Marcelo a couple of times with other sitters and every single time, when was time to pick him up, he seemed thrilled and relieved to see me. But not this time, not with Katie, he actually seemed sad for leaving her house LOL! Again, thank you so much Katie for giving him (and his mama) such a great time and positive experience. Our family definitely recommends Katie's services!”

“If you are looking for the BEST person to care for your pup you just found her! We left our high maintenance and very spoiled tripod pup with Riley for 6 nights and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She had no hesitation taking on a 75lb pittie-shepherd mix with only 3 legs. She gave her medication without any issues and did a nice and slow introduction to her 2 dogs to ensure a safe and happy interaction. Her dogs are very friendly and immediately made Chessie feel like part of the pack! Riley and her family truly treated our pup as part of her family. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the week with great communication from start to finish. I am so happy we found Riley and I recommend her without hesitation!!”

About: I’ve always had a special love for dogs and truly enjoy caring for them. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I’m patient, loving, dependable, and will treat your pup as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities and will happily follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and sleeping routines. Whether your pup loves playing outside, going for walks, cuddling on the couch, or just relaxing, they’ll receive plenty of love and individual attention while in my care. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to work around your pup’s normal routine and give them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the day. When I’m not home, my husband is available to help, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and care. I want every dog staying with us to feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. Your pup’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy some fresh air and playtime, as well as a friendly dog who loves having company.

About: I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day. Living on 14.9 acres in Madison County, I provide a safe, spacious environment where dogs can enjoy structured outdoor time and plenty of individual attention. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, relaxed atmosphere, I tailor their care to their specific needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for by someone whose primary focus is their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dogs enjoy a structured daily schedule that includes supervised outdoor exercise, potty breaks, feeding according to their owner’s instructions, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.

About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs

About: Hi! My name is Stefanie and I've been pet sitting since 2016 where I decided to start my side business 'Wag a Little'. I am a very flexible sitter. I can come to you, or I can board them with me. I have two cats and one dog of my own who are great with other animals. My yard is fenced in for the pets to go out and do their business and run around and play! I live in a quiet subdivision and hardly ever have trouble with neighbors and their pets. My pets are up to date on all of their shots, and all I ask is that your pets are as well. (if you have any questions or concerns about certain vaccines, please feel free to ask!) I have worked in the pet industry for a little over 6 years, starting as a sales clerk at a pet store. From there, I've worked in dog training, grooming salons and even dabbled a little in the vet industry. I do offer grooming as well for an additional charge. I will bathe, dry and brush out your pets. I can also clip their nails for you so you don't have to worry about getting scratched! I hope you can consider me to take great care of your fur babies! I will accommodate to all your needs! And give all the snuggles your pets need while you are away. I am home full time other than doing some Instacart on the side, but I am never away from the home for more than 4 hours at a time. And I am more than happy to stay home with your pets if they have separation anxiety. I have a securely fenced in yard for the fur babies to do their business. For exercise, we can play fetch or go for walks! If I am sitting at the owners home, just let me know what your routine is and I'll happily accommodate it.

About: Hi! My name is Valentina, and I’ve been dog sitting for several years now, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I know that leaving your pet in someone else's care can be stressful, which is why communication is one of my top priorities. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and informed while you're away. My goal is to make your dog's time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, or any special instructions you provide. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with plenty of attention, patience, and care. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter pace, I'll make sure they have a safe, loving companion while their family is away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time during the week, but I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any other specific needs to help your pet feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I believe consistency is important, so I make every effort to maintain the routines your pet is already familiar with. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection based on their personality and energy level.

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 .

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
