“Daniel is a rock star dog and house sitter! He took great care of our two dogs over the Christmas holiday and sent us updates with photos twice a day. When we returned, the house looked just like we left it and our dogs were happy and looked well cared for. We definitely plan to contact him for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Jody takes great care of my 3 babies! Absolutely fantastic pet sitter—dependable, caring, and communicative. Our pets were well cared for and they clearly enjoyed their time with Jody! Will definitely book again!”
“There aren't enough wonderful things to say about Edith and my experience with her when she recently took care of my two dogs and my house for five days. From the minute I reached out to her she responded almost immediately and made me feel that she was open to help in any way. She was punctual for our 'meet and greets', and my dogs loved her the minute she came through the door. While I was out of town I was totally comfortable knowing that my dogs and everything they needed was taken care of. Edith is extremely knowledgeable about animals. Since one of my dogs is a senior, she needs extra care with meds and slower walks. Edith handled her with so much tenderness and understanding. I knew that my home and dogs were in the best hands with Edith. I cannot recommend her enough! She is exceptional. Thank you, Edith!”
“Donnis was great, communicative and sweet. I have a fairly anxious and dramatic chihuahua and he took to her almost immediately. Already have her on tap for my next doggo-sitting needs!”
“She was so wonderful and great, especially dealing with our little rescue puppy who is not always the most friendly. The dogs were all happy and i received lots of photos of them all napping away…. if they were all napping then they were relaxed calm and good with her presence. She is super responsive and I will use her again.”
About: A lifelong love of animals has led to me learning how best to care for them from a young age. I'll make sure your pets feel happy, comfortable and safe! I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, turkeys, and guinea pigs, and I'm willing to work with all animals except arachnids and insects. I wake up at around 8 every day and go to bed around 11, and I can adjust pretty easily if I need to be up earlier or later. I can mold my schedule to another routine very easily (and enjoy doing so!) and working with animals fills me with so much joy that doing the best job possible is barely a job at all. I'll meet your pet where they're at. If they don't want to be sociable, that's fine! I'll make sure they're fed and have water and they can come to me in their own time. If they want to be attached to the hip from moment one, I love that too.
About: I love dogs and cats too, I got into dog - sitting when I first moved to Georgia and my neighbor went out of town I watched her dog while she was gone and have been dog sitting ever since. I love going out and walking dogs and playing with dogs. I make sure they feel like they are loved and with their owners when I watch animals I love making them even little treats and dinners. Also if you have specific thing your animal eats then you can count on me to make sure they have a good healthy meal, I also am good about giving them their medication. I understand how people love for their animals as if they were their children and I totally get it. You worry about them and want to make sure they are taken care of well. I myself even hate the thought of my animal being alone for over a long period of time because of work or school.
“Taryn was amazing. I’m always so weary about someone new staying at our house but she made me feel so comfortable about her staying! My dogs absolutely loved her. She sent so many pictures that i loved. We came home to two happy wore out dogs. House was clean as well. :) Thank you taryn!”
About: I want your pet to feel like it’s another home when they have to leave theirs! There’s always at least one person at home so they’ll never be by themselves, also available any holiday you need me to watch your pet. I love all dogs, will take them fork walks and can also administer medication if needed I work from home so I will be home at all times so it’s really their schedule that’s I’m working with just tell me their schedule I can dog sit, dog board, dog walk. I live in a 2 story home so they have more than enough room. I also have a playpen if you prefer
“Mila stayed at our house for 5 nights to care for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. I was nervous because it was the first time that they had been cared for by anyone other than family. Mila did a wonderful job and kept us updated throughout our trip with texts and pictures. When we arrived home, our babies were happy and everything in the house was as we had left it. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Kathy was a dream come true. I have two cats. A young and feisty female and an elderly male cat (18 years old). She took care of them like a rock star getting them both to warm up to her in the 7 days we were away. She spent time with them and nurtured them like I would. The older cat is in diapers and she handled that like a charm. When we got home our house was in order and very clean. She brought in the mail and put out the trash and generally treated our home as if it was hers. I highly recommend Kathy and will definitely use her again.”
“Leslie was great with my pup Bogey! She communicated often, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything during the stay. The house was probably better than I had left it when I got home! I will definitely use Leslie again!”
About: Hi! My name is Iyah, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. While I am new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for fur-babies!! I have loved animals of all kinds since I arrived on this earth! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels through previous and current professional work experience at a dog and cat care/boarding business, along with caring for pets in my personal life as well. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming care, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog is different, so I always try to pay attention to their personality, routines, boundaries, body language and needs. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including anxious pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide reliable care, consistent communication, and lots of updates/photos for peace of mind. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I’ll make sure they receive patience, attention, love and genuine care. Your baby will be cared for and loved on as if they were my own. For me to be even more successful in what I do, I love all my clients to give me as much details about their babies as possible, I'm here to accommodate, support and make you and your pet-parent life as comfortable as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 ⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ 🐾 Meet My Pet-Care Partner! For transparency and safety, I want all pet parents to know that my fiancé, Robert, may accompany me for certain bookings—particularly overnight house-sitting stays or bookings farther away from home. Robert and I both work professionally with animals full-time and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. We genuinely love what we do, and your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. 🐶🐱💕 For house-sitting bookings, I may request that Robert accompany me, as I am a young woman staying overnight in an unfamiliar home and area. I completely understand that this is your home, so this will always be discussed with you beforehand—there will never be an unexpected additional guest in your home. You’re also more than welcome to meet both of us during our Meet & Greet so you can feel completely comfortable with who will be caring for your pets and staying in your home. My goal is for everyone to feel safe and comfortable—your pets, you, and us! 🐾🤍 I work two jobs, but my schedules aren't consistent. I'm open to taking care of your babies whenever I am off and whenever I do have free time. I would prefer coming to your home to care for your babies as I do still stay with family who are not as dog crazy and loving as me.
About: I have been watching puppies for about four years now, my brother and his wife have had two puppies for about that long, and I play with them all the time. I give them baths, I give them treats, I absolutely adore them with all my heart, and I love them so much. Of course there are boundaries when it comes to them being bad or giving them treats! I am trying to find a side hustle to make a little bit extra money, and I absolutely adore animals, and my schedule is open all the time pretty much! most of the time I will go to my brother’s house and watch the dogs, or they’ll come to my parents, and I will still watch them! I will take them on walks play with them outside, anything.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and loved every single one of them! I also worked at an animal clinic all through high school and college, so I’ve picked up a lot of experience reading dog and cat behavior and adjusting to each pet’s personality. I’m comfortable giving medication (including insulin shots), and I can help with baths or nail trims if needed. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away—whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or just hanging out for some cuddle time. I am available for pet sitting in your home, walks, and drop-ins after 6 pm on weekdays and anytime on the weekend. I can offer engaging play and 30+ minute walks, whatever you like. I offer bathing and toe nail clipping per request, or if your pet gets exceptionally dirty while you are gone (it happens!), I will bathe for free. Feeding and treats will be given per your instructions, and I will do whatever your pet needs to be comfortable while you’re away, so don’t be afraid to ask!
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.
“Gina was responsive when I reached out and my pup seemed happy when I returned home. House was clean and tidy so no complaints there. Didn't really have a whole lot of communication while I was away so am assuming all was good!”

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 Winder 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 Winder 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Winder 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!

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 .

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.
