“Guadalupe is fantastic! Our very large pup loved her coming over and checking in on him while we're traveling. And our two very shy/skittish cats actually come out to say hello to her when she drops is. Highly recommend”
“Alyssa was fantastic with our dogs. She was willing to do so much for us while we were gone and she was more than happy to spend time with our very crazy and large dogs. She kept us updated on each visit which made us feel more comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely use her again!”
About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, along with extensive volunteer work in animal shelters and service on the Board of Directors for the Humane Society of Northeast Georgia. I’ve also rescued dozens of stray cats and helped reunite them with loving families. I’m committed to providing patient, loving, and reliable care, making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I currently work from home part-time with flexible hours so can be available whenever you need me. I can start early mornings and visit late at night. I have 6 cats and a dog so I currently do not offer in-home pet care services. If this changes I will update my services.
“Having Hannah come let the “girls” out for a midday break makes me feel a little less harried on long work days! She is a great communicator, very responsive & getting photos at work of my girls “smiling” is a treat. Already booked her again!”
“Alletta is an amazing pet sitter and really enjoys the pets (in our case, dogs). Our dogs completely bonded with her and were obviously happy to see her. Alletta also noticed a leak in our hose nozzle and turned the water off, so it would not continue to leak.”
“Kassidy was awesome with our pets while we went on Vacation. She came every day and spent time with them and fed them while keeping me updated with photos which gave me peace knowing they were safe. Will be using her again”
“Morgan did a great job taking care of our two kitties. She bonded with them right away and sent us great pictures with a message on how they were doing everyday. Would highly recommend Morgan.”
About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)
About: I am very sweet and gentle to many animals, but I also love keeping them active by taking them on walks and playing with them!! I have school every week day, but I get out early enough to be able to visit, walk, watch, and take care of any dogs or cats. I take my dog on walks, cuddle with her, play with her, and love her to death! I love taking her to the dog park as well near my house. When I have pet sat in the past, I value taking the dog on walks and cuddling with them too!
About: Since I was a baby, we have always had animals around. Throughout my childhood, we owned different animals such as: dogs, cats, birds, fishes, turtles, and rabbits! I currently own 2 cats and they are what I consider my babies. Owning an animals is an every day commitment. They keep me going and my favorite part of the day is putting together their "fancy" dishes! I understand the importance of having someone reliable to watch your pet! I have 2 cats who are extremely friendly and welcoming. We have many toys, trees, and perches! I respect any boundaries and rules a client has for their specific baby!
About: I worked at a vet clinic for a couple of years. I also worked at a dog training facility for a year. I know it’s hard to leave your fur baby behind but I can promise you that they will be safe and definitely loved! I just had a baby and not able to work in the moment. So I’m up early in the morning and up late at night so I’m very flexible! Well I will have to have my baby with me ( just a warning). But I normally treat them as my own. I will walk them every 2-3 hours then I’m there. If the owner has any schedule I follow the schedule or any instructions. I do normally send pictures and videos of the fur baby to the owner and keep them updated with everything.
About: My experience pet-sitting (before I joined Rover in 2019) began at age 14 and has consisted of taking care of neighbors and family friends' dogs, eventually getting gigs through personal referrals. Helping others look after their animals and taking care of them as my own while making a few extra dollars is the perfect gig for me! Dog-walking/sitting: I'm pretty active and love the outdoors, so I'm more than willing to take your fur baby on short or long excursions outside. Some of my favorite memories are taking my family's dogs on long walks and spending time with them at the lake. Cat-sitting: I love both cats AND dogs for very different reasons. Dogs are awesome because they're friendly, energetic, and man's best friend! Cats are so different in that they are sooo relaxing, hands-off compared to dogs, and relatively independent. Other animals: I have little experience in this arena but would love to take care of any other pets you may have! I'd love the opportunity to take care of your pets while you're away! :) I work full-time from home when not traveling for my job. Because I love animals and travel too much to have some of my own, pet sitting is the perfect, flexible gig for me! I treat my clients’ pets as my own, so I do let them on the bed or couch to snuggle if that’s something you allow in your home. My personal motto is “leave no trace” typically used for the outdoors, but that is also the standard I abide by when staying in a client’s home.
About: I have always had pets from childhood. I currently have 1 dog named Maverick. I have experience giving medication to pets as well as taking care of senior dogs. What to expect for doggy day care or boarding: -please let me know any tendencies your dog has so I can ensure I take the best care of them! Safety is biggest priority 😎 - I am always on my phone to ensure that I respond promptly to your texts. Feel free to reach out any time and I will get back to you as soon as I can! - I send daily updates with pictures and or videos of your dog while he is here! From eating, to playing to taking naps, I’ll be sure to capture as much as I can for you. 🐶 -I do have a rule in my home for privacy and safety reasons where I do not allow people inside. This is to ensure safety in my private home and space! I am more than happy to send videos / pictures of the space upon request if that is an issue, as well as lots of pictures while your pup is here! Please let me know if you have any concerns about this so that we are on the same page at drop off 🤩 - I only accept friendly dogs who get along with others and have been socialized well. They have a great time together and want to make sure your dog will be a great fit for the environment. Let me know beforehand if you have hesitations about this! Thank you. - I have LOTS of toys and dog supplies so feel free to pack light and don’t stress it too much! Your pup will have so much fun here 🐶🐶 I work from home as a freelance video editor, so I am available any day of the week. I am very flexible and offer same-day booking for your convenience. I have a fenced in dog play area as well as an indoor dog park in my building. I have a sweet dog to keep yours company!
About: My name is Erin, I am 30 years old, and I have been working with and around animals since I was 16. I currently own one dog and one green cheek conure. Qualifications: I have held several jobs in dog kennels and vet offices, so I can administer medications and clean up doesn't bother me. I am also very knowledgeable about small and exotic animals like hamsters, guinea pigs, and birds. I am currently working on a Veterinary Technician degree. Services: I am happy to help with caring for sick/elderly animals, providing play time and/or walks, and staying overnight in your home to care for your pets while you’re away. Contacting Me: I can be reached through Rover, but will provide you will my phone number (cell) after our initial meeting. I find it’s easier for my clients if we get connected through Rover and then do business outside of it. I currently work at a vet clinic, so I do work longer hours than most people. However, I can stay overnight with your pets, and spend my days off giving your pets the best possible care! My only request is that you give me detailed instructions, so I can make my stay with your pet as stress-free as possible! I love to know everything: feeding/walking schedules, favorite treats, favorite toys, anything they love or will need.
About: Hi, I’m Tay! I’m passionate for providing the best care for your beloved fur babies. I have a reputation for excellent communication skills, reliability, and a sense of responsibility. I’m here to make sure your pets get the love and attention they deserve. A couple years ago I would volunteer every day at TLC animal shelter. This has helped me understand behaviors from animals and has enhanced my caregiving experience. When you entrust your pets to me you can rest assured that they’ll be treated as my own child. I believe in open communication, so you’ll receive regular updates and pictures of your babies while you’re away. Whether it’s ensuring they got their medications, cuddle time, exercise and even potty breaks. I’m committed to keeping up with their day to day routines and keeping them happy! Im currently working a part time job which gives me plenty of time to spend with animals. I live on a small “farm” with a bunch of chickens, dogs, and goats at the moment. Pet care plays a daily roll in my life. Working with animals is a huge passion I have. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space to play. We also have friendly Puppies that come in and out on a daily to give your dog a friend. I offer grooming and bathing services to keep a clean happy pup. I make sure to give pets a lot of exercise on fun little walks and hikes etc.
About: Hello! I’ve been dog walking and dog sitting for a few years and have many references. It’s of the upmost importance to make sure your fur babies will be taken care of when your away and that is my top priority. I’m a stay at home mom so I am able to do most mornings and most evenings weekly. Mondays and Wednesdays I have to bring my daughter to school but can come immediately after. Friday we have dance at 5 but after dance I can come straight to your home. Depending on whether you need walks for your pups or just feedings I can handle whatever your needs are. I have two cats and three dogs myself and it’s of upmost importance they get their food and outdoor time in each day which is what I will provide your fur babies with.
About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs isn’t just a job to me—it’s truly been my life for as long as I can remember. I have 4 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve also bred French Bulldogs for 8 years, so I have extensive experience with puppies, including feeding, socialization, routines, and early training. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy dogs, and dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I can also help reinforce basic training and good manners while your pup is in my care. Most importantly, I treat every dog like they’re my own. With a lifetime of experience, professional veterinary knowledge, and a genuine love for dogs, I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾❤️ Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily schedule because I already spend most of my time at home caring for my own dogs and working part-time from my computer. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to maintain regular feeding, potty, medication, exercise, and rest routines while giving each pet the individualized care they need. 🐾 Safety, Trust & a Home Away From Home Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I have a secure, fenced in yard with separate fenced areas, which allows me to safely give dogs their own space when needed. I also have **my own crates available** if your pup is comfortable with crating, and I can easily separate visiting dogs from my own dogs whenever necessary. My dogs are very friendly and used to having other dogs around, but I always prioritize safety and supervision. I’m especially careful about **size and temperament differences. I keep larger dogs separated from smaller dogs when appropriate, so everyone can enjoy their stay safely and comfortably. With secure outdoor areas, multiple ways to separate dogs, and plenty of hands on supervision, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own while they’re here. ❤️🐶

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Whelchel is $31 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $42 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 1,490 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Whelchel. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whelchel. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
