“Samantha was so amazing! She followed instructions and gave me multiple updates throughout the visits! Provided great pictures. Our cat loved her and made the daily visits great. Thank you so much!”
“Morgan was great! Morgan and I scheduled a meet up so she could see where I lived( large gated apartment complex) and we planned a drop off and pick up time for getting the keys. She sent lovely pictures of my kitty Max and sent detailed notes about his behavior and how he was doing generally. Everything went smoothly and definitely recommend her for all your cat sitting needs! Thanks again Morgan!”
“Sierra was fantastic. We could not have asked for a better person to pop in on Pirate. She was very communicative, friendly, and professional. She helped give our cat the medication that she regularly takes, and it was such a relief to know that aspect of her care was covered. Would happily work with her again and cannot recommend her more. ❤️💕❤️💕”
“Ashley did a great job taking care of our cat over the holidays. Communication was excellent, and we always felt confident that our cat was in good hands. Would strongly recommend!”
“Leah and Zoe did a great job checking on and taking care of my cat Max. They were very responsive and accommodating. I would definitely recommend them for any of your pet care needs!”
“Our two cats have not stopped raving about Linda since we returned from vacation! They really appreciated that she stopped by at the same time each evening to feed them dinner, refill water, scoop litter, and play/socialize. They enjoyed having their pictures taken and contributing to Linda's daily Rover report card. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing that they were so well taken care of.”
“Will definitely book with Grace again! She made sure my two cats were taken care of and given extra attention with treats & play time! I love that she’s a vet tech too so she has extra experience for peace of mind.”
“Lauren was super nice and knowledgeable about pet care. She gave my cat medicine every 12 hours. I appreciate that a lot because he’s a tough case with getting his medicine. We are happy we left our babies in her hands while we were away. I will happily rebook Lauren!”
“Per usual, Lauren was great!!! We loved all the pictures and updates! My kitties look so happy! Definitely help my husband and I breathe easier knowing Lauren is caring for them! You only want the best for your fur babies, and Lauren is the best!”
About: I've had pets my whole life. Currently, I have two of the sweetest dogs! Other than my own, I have taken care of other people's pets since I was about 15. I have cared for other animals by staying in their home over night, bringing the dogs to my home, and drop-ins throughout the day. I am very reliable and will treat your pet like my own! I’m currently working in the mornings most days with the exception of Thursdays. I am available to care for your pets in the mornings, afternoons, and nights Friday-Wednesdays. On Thursdays, I’m available mornings and nights. I’m pretty flexible, so I’m sure we can work something out to make sure your pet gets all the attention and love! Whatever your pets are most comfortable with in your home, I can do! I love to keep pets on a schedule and what they’re used to, so whatever they need I can accommodate.
“Sophia was fantastic!! This was my first time using her, and she was so sweet, very punctual, and took great care of our cats. I will definitely be using her in the future, and am so happy to have found a trustworthy person to care for our pets!”
“Emma has been so prompt and caring with my sweet girl! I’ve had total peace of mind knowing she’s checking in on my cat. She always sends wonderful pictures and updates, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Olivia followed all instructions and took amazing care of my cat. We had a longer stay, and she and Garfi became very close. She communicated well with us throughout and even looked after our house while we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“Erica has been great to my cat, Angelina! She sends daily pictures and updates. In advance, she met Angelina to see if she’d be comfortable with her. During the cold weather, Erica was also conscientious of ensuring my heat was on for Angelina.”
About: I have been a big animal lover since I was little. I started pet sitting for friends and family in high school and I started volunteering at my local animal shelter in college. I currently am an Animal Care Tech at UGA and work with animals like cats, dogs, and mice daily! I am also very comfortable administering most medications I currently work full time as an Animal Care Tech at UGA from 8-4 on M-F so I can care for your pet early mornings or in the afternoon/evenings! If you need someone during the weekdays to let your pet out frequently (they can’t go 8 hours without a bathroom break) I may not be the sitter for you. I have more availability to let them out during weekends, but if you have any questions just shoot me a message! Safety is my #1 concern when it comes to your pet! I have many years of animal care experience and I am trained to handle most safety issues when it comes to animals. I want to treat your pet like they’re my own!

Emory did great with all four of our pets. She was responsive and caring. She sent frequent updates, which gave us great peace of mind. She was flexible and accommodating to add an extra visit at our request. We would definitely work with Emory again! we know our pets would love having her back.
Landen and Nataly were amazing!! They are kind people who genuinely care about your pet like it’s their own! They sent several pictures at each visit, cleaned the litter box, gave food and water, and kept my girl entertained while I was gone! I highly recommend them and will absolutely reach out to them for all of my pet sitting needs!!
Lindsay is an excellent cat sitter. From the very beginning, she was responsible, kind, and extremely attentive. She took wonderful care of my cats and made sure they were comfortable, safe, and happy while I was away. Lindsay kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s clear that she truly loves animals and treats them as if they were her own. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her again.
Very kind and attentive with my cat, Albert! She was very communicative throughout the entire process, and I felt at ease while I was away knowing that Albert had such a great caretaker! Absolutely zero complaints, and I would definitely recommend Tameron to anyone in Athens looking for a pet sitter.
We feel so lucky to have found Nicole. She is so thorough and kind and she asked great questions during our introduction. She must be a cat whisperer because all three of our cats came to her which is really unusual. She sent us lots of photos and we felt very secure that our cats were in good hands.
This was my first time trying Rover, and Emma was wonderful! She was quickly to respond when booking, and a great communicator throughout the visits. Always kept me informed, leave notes about food/water/litter and sent photos of both my kitties. One of my cats is very skittish, but he warmed-up super quickly. She is truly an outstanding pet caregiver, highly recommend.
Elisabeth was super quick to respond to my initial request and was very personable. She took very thorough care of my boy and made sure to send pictures of the visit. She played with him, cleaned his litter and made sure he was fed and watered for both drop ins. She was also able to give him his asthma medicine which was awesome! He's pretty finicky about it so I was super happy. We got home this morning from our first full day away from him and found him very happy and relaxed, no signs of stress. I'll definitely be rebooking with Elisabeth in the future.
