“Chrystal was fantastic! She is quick to respond and sends detailed info about each cat with each check in. Even sends pictures to go along with it. Extremely trustworthy! Will 100% use her again!”

“Liliana was amazing! She came and took care of our babies as if they were her own. She played outside with them & made sure Pablo had his medicine each day! We appreciate you and will be booking again.”

“This was my first experience with Rover, and it was great. Meep can tend to be nervous and anxious when I get home after an absence, but with Melissa taking care of her, this was the calmest I have ever seen her. Meep LOVED her, and recognized, as do I, Melissa's kind heart and great love for animals. She sent me pics of Meep each day, so I could have peace of mind knowing Meep was in very good hands. I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter!”

About: Hi I’m a college student who loves animals and especially dogs. I grew up with dogs and I actually have my own pup named Shelby! She is a gorgeous mixed who I adopted from the pound. We love to spend time playing and training together! It helps keep us both stimulated ☺️. Me and my cat Greyson love to cuddle and he loves to play tag with his sister sometimes! I have been pet sitting since the age 10 and I have dealt with small , big, young and the old dogs. I’m able to make connections with any type of dog. I have dealt with dogs with special diets and needs. I love all dogs equally and would love to get to know your babies each. I do have doggy treats and toys but I would love to have any future friends bring their own. I also have experience working for a doggie day camp named pet paradise where I was taught and trained to understand dog and cat behavior so trust that your furry friends are in the best care! I currently have an open schedule and am home most days so I have complete flexibility to spend time and play with your furry friends! I have a one active friendly dog who loves to play and chase so if you are comfortable she is looking for a play date! I love to go on long walks and trips for treats! For my cats it depends on there comfortable level but for mines we do tons of chase play and cuddles!
“Cheryl watched our cat while we left her alone for the first time, and she gave us peace of mind while we were away. I hope she’s available to watch her again during our next trip!”

About: Since age 12, I've loved and cared for a lot of cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities.I have a soft heart for senior animals, and the playful energy for the little ones! I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule for walks and sitting for your pet. I'm available for house sitting, drop ins, and walks, during weekdays and weekends. When you trust your pets to me, you can rest easy knowing I'll care for them as if they're my own. Communication is key, and I'm happy to accommodate to your pet's schedule and routine, providing frequent updates to ease any anxiety.
“I booked with Ms. Heather and she was so sweet! She did a meet and greet and sent me lots of updates whenever she came to walk max. It was very last minute and she still agreed and did a great job!”

“Samantha is the best cat sitter. I can tell she really cares about my kitties. She’s been great at giving meds when Milo needed it. And I appreciate her notes on how the kitties are doing each day. She is very through and caring.”

“Hannah was absolutely wonderful! She communicated well and went above and beyond to make sure our kitties (and house) were cared for. Bonus- she also takes great photos :) We will definitely use Hannah again for future rover requests. Thank you, Hannah!!”

“Highly recommend Timothy! I needed last minute help with my 2 pups (lab and great dane) and it was perfect! The boys were taken care of and happy! Great communication and on time for my appointment! I will be using him again for sure!!!!! 10 🌟!!!!!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all of my life, like most people. However, I have learned to be patient with them yet stern. I used to pet sit all over my neighborhood because they all knew me as the dog whisperer. I take care of their needs while their owners are busy with work or are enjoying a much needed vacation. During the summer I do not work since I am a teacher and I know many families like to go out of town to enjoy their time. That is why I do not mind opening my time and home to other pets so the owners do not have to worry about their pets while they are away. I have a fenced in yard that dogs can run around in. There is even a dog park a mile from my house if the owner wants them to have more freedom. If for some reason, other pets do not get along with my cat, I have plenty of bedrooms and I would rotate the animals being able to roam the house.
“Megan did such a phenomenal job cat-sitting for us. We have three VERY high maintenance furballs. It was clear Megan took time to play and cuddle them daily. We plan to only hire Meghan in future if possible. Very trustworthy.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have some experience in training dogs and puppies. And my family has trusted me numerous of times to watch after and bathe their pets. Pet sitting fits in my schedule as I’m looking for work right now, I’ll be able to come by and take the time your pet needs to insure he or she is safe and went outside. In my home my dogs are on leashes when outside and walked more than I can count. I let them free roam inside until it’s feeding time. Once it’s feeding time they go to their designated areas and eat. If you select me for my services I’ll make sure to follow your rules you have in place and treat your pet as one of my own.
“Tara was fantastic with our cat Nugget! Communication was great, and she sent us pictures every visit. She was also kind enough to bring in a package that was delivered and make sure our trash can was pulled away from the curb after trash day. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with a grandfather who had a service dog for his medical condition and from a young age I was fascinated with dogs because of it. The way she could smell his blood sugar levels and alert him and constantly be loyal and obedient to him just amazed me. People are pretty amazing, but dogs are inspiring. I not only learned how to treat a dog to gain the best companionship from one, but also how to be a good leader and caretaker. I also grew up with a family dog in my home (picture of me as young girl with my dog, Shyla). She was a gentle, loving, sweet dog who was given to us after her previous owner mistreated her and she was removed from her home and put into ours. Beyond that, my family has multiple cats that mostly remained outside but were typically snuck into the home by me and my siblings (my poor Mom loved them but has bad allergies to cats). In short, I have learned a lot through experience, observation, and inquiry and I would love to shower your pet with the attention and love that they deserve. I’m currently a stay at home wife who attends college online with my major focus being psychology. I spend most days at home tidying, working on school, and relaxing so I have plenty of time to play fetch, go on walks, and cuddle on the couch. I love to play and pet and cuddle with dogs but I also enjoy taking care of them and knowing their wants and needs are not only met but exceeded. As far as how I will care for your pet(s), will depend on what you ask of me and what boundaries you set for your pet(s). The secure feeling in knowing your pet(s) is taken care of in the manner you want or would have done is important for your peace of mind, and understandably so. I consider your requests or concerns with upmost respect because it’s ultimately about making you and your pet happy.
About: I have cared for different animals over the last 9 years or so. I have cared for dogs, cats, pigs and chickens and love doing so! I currently homeschool Monday through Thursday and also clean a house once a week. With that being said, I normally have a pretty flexible schedule. I am able to go feed and water the animals and spend time with them. I can send pictures of the animals to the owners and give them peace knowing their animals are being loved and cared for.
About: I have 2 pets of my own. A dog and a cat and I love them with my whole heart. 3 years ago I started watching my neighbors large size dogs and fell in love with it. I have graduated from Georgia Southern University with my Bachelors degree in Criminal Justice. I live in Statesboro full time and I am just trying to make a little extra money on the side! I am free Monday - Friday and on the weekends as well! I currently have a dog and cat that live with me. As for watching my neighbors dogs I have had them in their crates because that’s how the owner had them. I now live in Statesboro full time and sadly they moved away and I do not watch their dogs anymore.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently care for my own large dogs and chickens, and I run a local pet service business in the Statesboro area. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, including large breeds. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a calm companion, or someone dependable to stop by and check in, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. I’m happy to send photo updates and messages so you know your pet is doing great while you’re away. Whether it’s while you are at work or on vacation, I’m happy to help your 4 legged or 2 legged friends! I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I run a local pet care service, I’m used to planning my schedule around animals and making sure each client receives dependable, on-time care. During drop-in visits I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, a clean litter box or yard break, and plenty of attention based on their personality and needs. Some pets love playtime and interaction, while others prefer calm pets and attention , and I’m happy to adjust to what makes them most comfortable.
