“Marianne took excellent care of Jinxie while we were out of town for 6 days. She walked and played with her and sent frequent updates with photos. Marianne stayed in our home and kept our home tidy while she was here. I highly recommend Marianne as an excellent caregiver.”
“Melissa is wonderful with large dogs and did a fantastic job caring for my two shepherds. She took the time to get to know their personalities and routines, which made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, she was dependable, and it was clear she genuinely cared about my dogs' well-being. It's not easy finding someone confident and experienced with large breeds, but Melissa exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, professional, and caring pet sitter. I will absolutely use her again.”

“She was absolutely wonderful! So sweet, great communication, and my dog loved her. She took great care of him and left my home incredibly clean. I felt completely comfortable having her here and will absolutely be using her again! ❤️🐾”
About: Effective October 15, 2026: I am relocating and moving services to Milledgeville, Ga. I will reinstate my pickup/dropoff fees. Please review the profile in its entirety. I will host a few doggy play dates throughout the month. I am employed as a nurse PRN. With that being said, my schedule is as flexible and open as I intend for it to be. Potty and feeding times are considered when making my schedule for the day. Fur babies typically get let out Q4H. Dogs are not allowed free range. Pups are either let into fenced in backyard or dog park, or expand their horizons on an open field with 50 or 100-foot tethers to run around. Although their recall may be good with you, I want to ensure your babies come back to you the way you left them. I follow directions and your suggestions to the T. I take care of them the same way in which you'd take care of your babies.
About: Dogs aren’t just my passion—they’ve been my way of life for as long as I can remember. Having raised and cared for breeds of all shapes and sizes, from tiny lap dogs to gentle giants, I understand that every pup has a unique personality and pace. As an active foster parent, I specialize in creating a calm, supportive, and safe environment tailored to your dog's exact needs. Whether your pup thrives on high-energy hikes, loves exploring neighborhood trails, or prefers gentle neighborhood strolls, I make sure every outing is safe, engaging, and thoroughly exhausting in the best way possible. When your dog stays with me, they get the full royal treatment. My home features a spacious, fully fenced yard for safe daily zoomies, alongside a comfortable, loving indoor setup where they can stretch out and relax like family. I’m currently building my full-time career around doing what I love most: providing top-tier care, safety, and endless belly rubs so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. i do currently work part time monday-friday so i am available for dog walks after 1pm and i am open friday after 1pm- sunday evening for any stay the nights i do have a fully fenced back yard, tons of room for fur babies to run. 3 fur babies of our own along with a senior cat. i have 2 senior fur babies along with a 4 year old that is great with both seniors and puppies.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every dog. I understand that each pup has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog like my own—with plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates so you can relax while you’re away. Pet care is my full-time job, so my schedule is flexible and centered around your pets. I'm available throughout the week & weekends to give your fur babies plenty of love, attention, playtime, and dependable care whenever they need me! I care for every pet as if they were my own while carefully following your instructions and maintaining their normal routine! I prioritize safety by securing doors, monitoring food and water, while providing plenty of attention. I'll also respect your home and send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your babies are safe, happy and loved!
About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of different ages and needs, including senior dogs who require extra patience and attention. I’ve done multiple day pet sitting where I followed a set schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m very attentive to routines and understand how important consistency is for pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I also provide updates and pictures so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention, feeding, and bathroom breaks. I’m flexible and able to do morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure I’m fully present during each visit so your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and any special care needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also keeping their environment clean and safe. For pets that need extra patience, like seniors, I take my time and make sure they feel calm and secure.
About: We are located in Sandersville, GA I love all types of animals. It's my goal to see to your furbaby's needs so you can feel assured your baby is getting the attention and love they deserve. Once we connect I'll ask you to tell me what you prefer for your pet. Each furbaby has their own special needs and personality! No need to provide cookie cutter services, this is about you and your pet & making sure we're all a good fit! My yard is unfenced so we walk on a leash. There's plenty of play time inside & out. I have a chiweenie, Maui. Friendly and a bit shy but he always warms up. If you're looking for someone reliable & caring to look after your bestie, look no further! I work from home so your fur baby will get loads of love and attention, regular walks and play time, of course. I’ll send updates and pics every day. I have an open yard so we walk on a leash and we play with inside the house too. We play catch and tug-of-war and snuggles are abundant!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Willard walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Willard maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Willard 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
