“Susan was great! One of our girls has a pretty extensive medicine routine. Susan being there gave us the peace of mind we wouldn’t have found anywhere else. I assure you the next time we need help with our babies we’ll be calling on her.”
“We decided to try house sitting for the first time. My dog has trouble adjusting and trusting new people and Brittney was amazing with him, she did several meet and greet to make sure my dog was confortable with her!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitting service and it was absolutely amazing! Aniyah is so sweet and kind and she treated our Kingston like her own from the very first time of meeting him. Aniyah sent us pictures and updates throughout the whole stay which made us feel so relieved and comfortable knowing our boy was being well looked after. If you're looking for a dog sitter we highly recommend Aniyah, she was the best!!”
About: I’ve worked with all kinds of animals from playful puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need extra care and patience. I started out volunteering at animal shelters, then gained hands-on experience as a vet assistant and kennel tech, where I helped with feeding, meds, and basic care for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve also helped on my uncle’s farm, caring for everything from livestock to barn cats. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for many families and treat every animal like they’re my own safe, happy, and loved. I'm in college and in a sorority, and I also work a part-time job, but my schedule is pretty flexible so pet care still fits in easily! I'm usually free mornings and evenings during the week. Weekends are trickier since I'm normally busy, but I do open up my schedule for a few now and then. If you're flexible on timing, I'll be there! I genuinely love this, so I'm happy to work around whatever routine your pet's used to. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I make sure their space is clean, secure, and calm. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and preferred walking routes. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel relaxed and cared for. I also send regular updates and photos to keep you in the loop and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging in size from Chihuahuas to Labs, Dobermans & Boxers! I love being around dogs and making new furry friends! I am currently working from home so I am free throughout the day for walks and potty breaks! I am able to prioritize each pet as scheduled I am able to crate dogs if needed! Food and water will also be handled as needed for each pet. Any walks or daily activities can be done as well
About: I’ve been caring for animals for more than 20 years, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and other beloved pets. For me, pet care is more than feeding and walking, it’s about creating a safe, calm, loving environment where animals feel comfortable, understood, and cared for. As a counselor, I bring a natural understanding of behavior, communication, emotional regulation, and individual needs. I am also a service-dog handler, giving me firsthand experience with the responsibilities, routines, and attentiveness required when caring for working and support animals. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to meet each pet where they are. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, anxious or sensitive animals, and pets with unique routines or personalities. I take the time to learn what makes each animal feel safe and loved, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. Your pet’s well-being, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. ❤️ Pet care fits well into my routine because my schedule is highly flexible. I’m generally available on weekday evenings and weekends, although I usually need advance notice to plan appropriately and provide reliable, attentive care. I communicate clearly about availability and make sure each visit receives the time and attention your pet deserves. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication in every pet-care arrangement. I am not offering in-home boarding or pet care in my own home (I’m full-); I provide services such as visits or walks according to the agreed-upon arrangement. Before beginning, I carefully review your pet’s routine, medical or behavioral needs, access instructions, emergency contacts, and household expectations. I respect your privacy and property, follow your instructions closely, and maintain professional boundaries while caring for your pet in your client’s home.
About: I started caring for pets in school by looking after classmates pets and later helping neighbors. I’ve been around animals my whole life and currently have four French Bulldogs who are like my sons. I love treating pets as family, celebrating their lives, and including them in my daily routine whenever possible. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently on vacation, which allows me to have a flexible schedule to play with, walk, and fully care for your pet. I am available from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, both weekdays and weekends. I provide reliable and attentive care in the client’s home. I always follow instructions carefully, respect the home, and ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I give them exercise, attention, and affection to keep them happy and relaxed.
About: Very particular about who takes care of your pup, huh? Look no further! Whether it’s a million photos a day, a raw food diet, poop reports, or scheduled tummy rubs, I’m here to fulfill both you and your pet’s needs, down to the very detail. As a dog mom myself, I know how stressful it can be to leave your dog with someone who isn’t as obsessed with them as you are. But with me, your pup will be safe, sound, and spoiled, while you remain at ease. 🙂 I work from home full time, and have an extremely flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week to meet you and your pet’s needs, including on weekends! When your pet is in my care, you can anticipate: • Potty breaks every 2-3 hours. • 2-3 walks for fresh air and stick hunting. • Play time! • Cuddles and tummy rubs! • Snack time (can be structured around training) • Car rides + Visits to parks and nature trails.
About: **Update I was doing this at my house in Vegas so pics are all of that, but just moved here to Atlanta, I have a large fenced backyard and big cozy house to help make your pets feel at home** I grew up with many dogs and cats at home. Love all animals. Very good with them. I have no current animals of my own, but would love to be friends with yours. Im home most all day except for about an hour or two each day so have lots of space and time for some animal buddies to hang out with. I have a fenced front and a fenced back yard, and a kennel if needed, also have a couple spare bedrooms so if any animals need seperating i can do that also, but I try to let everyone wander as long as they all get along. Have no pets currently, but love all animals. Also great with house sitting, I fix houses for a living, so great at taking care of them too, could even fix an item or two if you were needing something small done while I tend your animals and house.
“Jessica did a wonderful job with our pups! She kept us updated and informed. Not to mention she spoiled our bully rotten.I would highly recommend her if you want your pets cared for to help you have a stress free time away from home.”

I've also looked after my mom's (manager's) dog, who needed a super precise schedules I typically work morning shifts but am home most of the time, and my significant other will be available to care for the animals while I’m at work.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 686 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Yates. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Yates 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 Yates 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 Yates 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.
