“Daylin is punctual, communicative, and does an amazing job taking care of our dog Boba! (Boba can be a little apprehensive, and Daylin was very patient and sweet towards her.) She also constantly updated us on Boba's well-being. We highly recommend Daylin for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi everyone my name is Angie and I may be new to Rover but I am not new to loving and caring for precious pups. I currently don't have any dogs living with me but prior to July 2025 I had my own fur babies since 1992. I decided this would be a wonderful way for me to get some puppy love, bring peace of mind to traveling pet parents, and make some money while providing a loving service. I have taken care of many of my friends pups along the way. Saki, Sophie, Sushi, Bodhi, Lucy, and Honey. I also occasionally foster dogs to help my friend's rescue. I would love to meet and care for your babies. My home is a safe and loving space for pups to play and have their "stay-cation"!! I work from home and will be available to be with the pet pretty much all day. Consistent time outdoors will be provided weather permitting. I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to play or grab that nice patch of sunshine to nap in. I maintain a clean and calm environment.
About: Hi, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 I was a proud dog parent for 13 wonderful years, and although my pups have since crossed the rainbow bridge, the love I have for dogs hasn’t gone anywhere. Caring for other people’s furry family members has become a special way for me to fill that little void they’ve left behind and share all the love I still have to give. I have tons of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, especially larger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit Bulls. I also have a soft spot for senior pups and understand the extra patience and attention they need, including administering medications and keeping up with their daily routines. I’m naturally active and love spending time outdoors, whether that’s a neighborhood stroll, a long walk, or a hike for pups who enjoy a little adventure. I also have a spacious backyard and a dedicated dog run, so there’s plenty of room for fresh air, playtime, and exploring! Having been a dog parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure you feel completely comfortable knowing your pup is safe, happy, and loved. I’ll treat them with the same patience, affection, and attention I gave my own. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member and give them a little extra love! ❤️ Your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and activity during their stay! I’m home throughout the day, so they’ll have lots of company and won’t be left alone for long stretches. We’ll enjoy multiple walks throughout the day, plenty of playtime, and lots of opportunities to relax and hang out together. For pups who are up for a little adventure, I love heading out for hikes or trips to the park! I know every dog has their own personality, energy level, and routine, so I’m happy to tailor our days to what makes them happiest. Whether they’re an energetic pup who loves exploring or a senior who prefers leisurely strolls and afternoon naps, I’ll make sure they feel right at home. 🐾 Your pup’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I have a fully fenced backyard along with a separate fenced-in dog run, giving your furry friend plenty of space to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air in a secure environment. My home is very dog-friendly! Pups are welcome to snuggle up on the couch or make themselves comfortable on the bed. That said, I know consistency is important, so if your dog isn’t allowed on furniture at home, I’ll happily respect those same rules during their stay. I’m home throughout the day, which means plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention. I also understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. Whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medications, or providing a quiet place to relax, I’m happy to accommodate. I’ll always prioritize their well-being, follow your instructions, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your best friend is in loving hands. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away!
About: I have many years of experience watching pets for my family, friends & neighbors. I love all types of dogs! I currently own a dog of my own which is a Jindo/Corgi. I work from home so I am always present to play with our dogs and attend to their needs. My partner also works from home too but I will be their primary caretaker. I take my dog on very long walks and keep them very active! And then they’re so tired, they sleep all day and they love it.
About: I love spending time with animals whenever I get the time to do so, I can not wait to spend so much more time with them. I hope your best friend can trust me and not be afraid to play with me. 🐾 I’m currently in college for part-time from Tuesday to Wednesday I am available from 12 through 6pm and on Wednesday I take an afternoon class, I’m available from 9Am-1:30 3:50-6:50. Monday,Thursday Friday,Saturday,Sunday available anytime those are my days off. I would normally stay home with them and watch them. In the afternoon I would take them on a walk. If they are hungry or it’s there feeding time I would feed them and once an hour or two I would play with your pet for a little bit.
“So sweet and wonderful to work with! She communicated clearly the whole time, my dogs absolutely loved her, and she took great care of my home while I was away. I felt totally at ease knowing everything was in good hands. Highly recommend and would totally book again.”
About: My doodle was trained and raised with the help of my K9 handler friend, so I have some professional training experience. I have dog-sat from puppies to seniors and can accommodate needs accordingly. I love dogs more than most humans haha and I guarantee they will have a fulfilled time with me! I have a flexible and fully remote corporate job, so my schedule is very adaptable. I personally take my dog to the park every afternoon, plus walks in the evening. Happy dog, happy mom! I am very attentive and nurturing towards all fur babies! I am also clean & respectful of your rules and home. I like to share dog friendly healthy foods that I prepare (plain pumpkin, plain Greek yogurt, plain chicken/beef/salmon, fruits & veggies etc) - just let me know if your pet has any allergies!
About: I have grown up with dogs, so I am more than aware that they are not only a pet but a family member. I have always raised my dogs and cats from infancy and cared for them through their senior years. My experience has taught me that every pet is different and should be cared for as such. It has also given me the basic knowledge of administering various kinds of medication. Pet care is simply another part of my routine. Having my pets, I know the importance of walks and playtime. In addition, I am accustomed to different breeds, from high-energy German Shepards to lethargic bulldogs. My availability will depend on my part-time work schedule; however, I am primarily available from late afternoon to evening. I care for pets based on their daily routine; every pet is different, so I'll always inquire about your pet's routine. In addition, I will always ask about your pet's age, allergies, medication, and, most importantly, if they are well-trained and socialized. I have no problem caring for a problematic dog so long as their behavior is discussed beforehand. I aim to have your pet well cared for and safe when you return.

About: Proud pet parent to Chloe, my sweet Maltese Poodle who loves having furry friends over for sleepovers! 🐾 When your pet stays with us, they’ll be temporarily adopted into our family and treated with the same love, care, and attention we give our own. I work short 4–5 hour shifts with a flexible schedule and the option to work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive. I’m also available to provide drop-in visits as needed to accommodate your pet’s routine. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work just 4–5 hours a day in the office with the flexibility to work from home when needed, which allows me to plan my schedule around the pets in my care When caring for dogs and cats in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and structured environment tailored to their individual needs. I have a fully fenced yard with a grassy area and plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy a nice run. All outdoor time is closely supervised to ensure safety while allowing them to burn off energy and have fun. For cats, I create a calm indoor environment with cozy resting areas, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My goal is to make both dogs and cats feel secure, relaxed, and right at home while they’re in my care. 🐾
About: I've taken dog grooming classes. I know how to bathe dogs and trim their nails. I've worked at a dog day care before. There, I helped watch dogs of all sizes and ages and bathe them as needed. I'm currently working part-time, so I have some free time throughout the week to pet-sit, walk, and drop in. I currently cannot board due to my apartment not allowing pets at the moment. I follow what I believe is the best protocol when dealing with animals. When I introduce myself, I like to lower myself to the ground to meet them at their level and try to let them approach me when they want. I love to play and pet animals.
About: Hello! Growing up I have always had many pets so I’d like to think my experience with pets has been since I was younger. I have loved animals my whole life and wouldn’t be able to imagine a life without having your own furry best friend. I have officially worked with caring and watching dogs for almost about two years alongside with my aunt. I believe that my home should feel as your pets second home where they feel comfortable. My family and I make sure to treat every pet as our very own, with love and kindness because on moments where they’re apart from their bestfriends(owners) they need to now that they are in a safe place. I’ve had many pets sometimes love my home enough to where they don’t want to leave :). I promise choosing me as your pets sitter is a choice you won’t regret!

“Ashley was able to take care of our 3 cats last minute. She was quick to respond and super nice. She made sure the cats had everything they needed for the weekend and sent updates with pictures. We’d definitely book with her again!”

About: Ever since I was 13, I knew I wanted to work with animals, I have such a strong passion for them. This isn’t about earning money but about making sure they get the life they deserve. I’m starting small but, I know one day, I want to make this a living. Caring for animals is what I love, I could not see myself doing anything else while being this happy. A friend of yours is a friend of mine. ❤️ My schedule is honestly really open. I don’t do anything throughout the day so i have a lot of free time. I love animals so why not do that in my free time. My dogs have always been well taken care of. When i used to pet sit for my friend’s they never had any complaints and only had good things to say

Micah is great and my dogs all loved her when we did a meet and greet! I booked her for several days of drop ins to feed my 3 dogs who all have very different feeding needs and personalities. She’s patient, responsive when I’d message, and can handle both big and energetic dogs. Will definitely be booking with her again!
Citlalli was absolutely amazing! I accidentally booked my two drop-in visits for the wrong day, but she was so flexible, understanding, and generous about it. She took such great care of my dog and sent me the cutest pictures and he looked so happy and comfortable! 🥹 I really appreciated how kind and accommodating she was. I would definitely book with Citlalli again and highly recommend her! ❤️
Matt was amazing! He took great care of Chloe after we reached out with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He was quick to respond, reliable, and made the whole process so easy. We loved receiving picture updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Chloe was happy and well cared for. We’re so grateful for his help and will definitely be using Matt again for any future dog sitting or drop-in services. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in West Athens is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $21 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 November 2026, there are 20,203 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across West Athens. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
