“Rosemary was a great cat sitter to my two cats. She went out of her way to play, brush, and spend time with them. She made me feel much better leaving my cats, knowing that they were being well looked after.”
“Emory Grace was incredible. I was so nervous to leave my fur babies home alone all day since they can get pretty anxious, but Emory Grace took great care of them and they had a wonderful time. I came home to happy babies. Emory Grace even brought in my Amazon package for me so it wouldnt be sitting outside for hours. She was a dream to work with, I scheduled fairly last minute but she was quick to reply and very caring and compassionate. I will definitely be looking to work with her again!”

About: Now that I am retired from special education, I can pet-sit full-time! I’ve had dogs all of my life. I got “my” first dog when I was 11. He was a Jack Russell named Patches and lived to be 15. In college, I got a terrier mix named Claire. She lived to be 16. After Claire passed, I adopted June Bug and Ryder, two lab mixes. Ryder and I trained to be a therapy dog team and worked in assisted living homes cheering up the residents. I have gone through many hours of training with both June Bug and Ryder and am now considering working for a dog trainer. Ryder passed away in May 2026. I recently retired from the field of special education, and I’m ready to care for four-legged babies! I know how stressful it can be to find someone to watch your babies or to board them, so I’d just like to help. That’s my main focus. My pups are my kids. I’ll treat yours like family too. I am a recently retired (but still young!) special educator so I am extremely flexible these days. I’ll keep my calendar up to date for availability. If I am in town, I can often take last minute requests. When I come to your home, I will treat it like my own. I am responsible enough to follow all directions you leave. I can administer oral medications, feed, check mail, water plants, etc
About: Ever since I was little I’ve connected with animals very naturally. I have had pet cats and dogs from as long as I can remember, and I treat all animals with a deep respect. I work Tues-Thurs as a pharmacy technician at Publix and am mostly unavailable during those days. I have open availability from Fri-Mon every week I have two dogs and two cats that I take care of on a daily basis. I will treat your pets like I do my own. I am good at following instructions and am a great problem solver.

I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I can safely administer medications as needed. Whether your pet needs daily medication, extra attention, lots of playtime, or simply a calm and loving companion while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I work four days a week and am usually off Mondays and Wednesdays, plus some weekends. I’m available for drop in visits and dog walks on my days off, with some flexibility around my work schedule. 🐾 I’ll provide loving, attentive care in your pet’s home, following their routine and making sure they’re fed, comfortable, safe, and happy. For dog walks, I’ll provide a fun, safe walk tailored to their pace and needs. 🐾

About: I’m a lifelong schnauzer lover, and after losing both of my beloved furbabies within the last three years, my home just hasn’t felt the same. I miss the snuggles, the walks, and that joyful energy they brought to every day. Caring for other pets allows me to share that love again and give your pup the same warmth, patience, and attention I once gave my own. I truly understand the comfort and companionship pets bring, and I take pride in creating a safe, affectionate environment where every furry friend feels at home. Lots of love, gentle care, and happy hearts guaranteed. 💕🐾 I run a small design agency part-time and work from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day. My schedule naturally revolves around school pickup, homework time, and my kids’ soccer practices— at a dog-friendly park! That means there’s plenty of room in our routine for walks, playtime, and snuggles. Your pet will get consistent attention and care woven right into our daily rhythm, not just “checked in on.” Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. Whether they’re with us or I’m visiting your home, I make sure they feel loved, secure, and part of the family. Walks are always on-leash, routines are followed closely, and I’m big on cuddles and communication. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands. 🐾
About: Hi all! I grew up with having dogs my whole life- we had a lab, a pug, and a pekignese, so I have a lot of experience with different sized dogs. My husband is also a big dog lover and grew up fostering many dogs who needed some extra love and care before finding their forever homes. My husband and I have half an acre of grass for your pup to run around in (unfenced) and will treat your dog as our own. We do work during the week in the office, so during the week we are only able to care for dogs that are able to be left at home during the work day. We typically work from home Thursdays/Fridays, and are home all weekend and would love to take care of your dog during weekend trips. Your pup will be in safe care and have a built in cuddle buddy and play partner with our 10 year old Mini Australian Shepherd, Ruby. We’d ideally love to do a meet and greet to ensure we are the right fit to care for your pup. We are primarily available for boarding on the weekends Thursday-Sunday. We both work from home on Thursdays, and my husband works from home on Fridays. We’d also be able to board your pup during the rest of the week if they are able to left alone during the work day. We have an unfenced half acre yard, so please let us know if your dog is okay to be off leash or is a runner. We have no problem keeping your dog leashed if needed and also have an outdoor leash/anchor so they can have some more freedom a well. We will treat your dog as our own which means lots of cuddles! Dogs are allowed on furniture and we will feed according to your preferences and schedules. We do have a medium sized kennel available if needed for your pup.

Caroline was amazing with our cats and dog! She communicated quickly and clearly, and her report cards were always detailed. She even went out of her way to pick up kibble for us when we ran out. We really appreciated how caring and dependable she was and would definitely book with her again!
Marissa is such a sweetheart! She was so sweet with Ace. She even left us a sweet note and gift behind on her last day checking on Ace. I would 100% recommend her to care for your fur baby. She’s very knowledgeable when it comes to animals and can tell that she genuinely enjoys this and it’s not just money with her.

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 .
