“Kourtney was amazing - hands down one of the best Rover sitters I've used over the years. She was very attentive to Sadie's needs, extremely communicative, and flexible. She also was sure to send photo/text updates once a day. My pup came home happy and healthy! I will definitely be using her again.”


“I have an almost 15 year old doodle and a 4 year old. Tara was very attentive to their individual needs. The 15 year old needs medicated 3 times a day and she did a great job of getting her to take her medicine. The 4 year old is much higher energy so she took her on supplemental walks. The girls enjoyed their stay very much. I recommend her highly for your pups!”


“Gracie was the best. She was like family to me and my pups!!! Very smart and professional. I was put at ease with Gracie!!! I was really surprised at what a great experience Gracie provided!! Thank you Gracie, see you next time!!”


“Lucy loved her stay with Rachel! We felt at ease leaving Lucy with her and knew she was well taken care of. She sent cute pics of her stay 😊 definitely recommend her to anyone needs a pet sitter that you know will make you care for your fur baby like their own!”


“There are no words to even begin to describe how much care Leigha puts into making Jackson feel at home and loved! It's always reassuring when I do have to leave Jackson to know he's in great hands!!! Thank you so much for taking amazing care of my baby boy!”


“Kelley was great! She was very responsive in communicating with me, sent me numerous updates and pictures throughout the day. My dog was very well taken care of. Kelley has a great backyard with a high secure fence. She introduced her pups to Chance and they all had a blast. I highly recommend Kelley, could not have asked for more.”

About: I have taken care of several types of animals including rabbits, dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters. I have personally had a rabbit named Buttercup who lived until she was 13 years old and currently have two dogs and two cats. I have taken care of others animals over the past decade and some change including walking dogs, popping in throughout the day to provide attention and meals, and boarded at my own home. I am currently an occupational therapy student at Emory and Henry and am in my last semester. I am free Thursday-Sunday as I work virtually for my capstone project. When I am coming into your home to care for your beloved pet I ensure I am being respectful of your area and keeping it tidy. At my own home I have a big yard with plenty of space for animal to run around and have fun. I have two dogs of my own as well as two cats, all of which are friendly with other animals.

“Madison was amazing and always kept us up to speed on Melos stay. She was very sweet and made sure my mind was at ease with our baby. She would send us pictures of him daily as well. I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone with a fur baby. I will be using her again when we need her if she's available.”

“We are so thankful to Kitty for looking after our little pup! She gave Lana a wonderful vacation week and we would highly recommend her. It was the first time leaving Lana overnight and Kitty made the whole process really smooth for us. Arriving at her home with the beautiful fenced in yard and peaceful surroundings gave us a great feeling straight away. She gave us time to get Lana settled and listened to our preferences for some house rules during the time there. She went over and above to give us not only updates and photo check ins but she also shared really valuable tips she had noticed in terms of our pup's development and maturing and was actively invested in working on them while Lana was with her. Thank you again!”

Brittany F.
“Look no further if you need a sitter for your pet, Brittany is the best in the area! She is a reliable, attentive and loving person to care for your pets in your absence. Brittany has taken great care of our dog while we were away on vacation. We came home to a very happy and healthy pooch. She not only made sure our dog ate her appropriate diet, but she also made sure that she had her daily medications. You can tell that Brittany feels very strongly about animals welfare, she made sure that our baby was safe and well cared for while we were away. Don't hesitate to book her today, you and your fur babies will not regret it!”
