Autumn was wonderful with my senior dog. She has a great setup with both a front and backyard, which gave my pup the freedom to explore, enjoy some outdoor time, and have easy access when he needed to use the restroom. She’s incredibly sweet and calm — exactly the kind of gentle personality my older dog responds well to. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. When I dropped my dog off, there were two other pups finishing their stay, and Autumn handled their introductions perfectly. She was attentive, read the dogs’ social cues well, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. My dog seemed relaxed and content during his stay. I really appreciated Autumn’s patience and care with an older pup who needs a little extra understanding.

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I take pride in creating a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for—like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, special diets, or just extra cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. It’s more than just a job to me—it’s something I truly love doing. I currently have the flexibility to stay home full-time, with the exception of occasional appointments and a few hours on Wednesday evenings. This allows me to dedicate ample time throughout the day to walks, playtime, personalized care, and focused attention for each pet in my care. For a home in the city, we offer a generously sized, fully fenced backyard that provides plenty of space for pets to run and play safely. Our neighborhood is quiet and secure, making it ideal for walks if desired. There are no children or other pets in the household, ensuring a calm environment and allowing your dog to receive my full, undivided attention.

We are so lucky to have found our new dog sitters! From the first meeting, it was clear how much they genuinely care about dogs. Our pup adored them right away, and that gave us so much peace of mind. You can tell they put their heart into what they do. We’ll definitely be booking again.

About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I have several years of professional experience working with dogs in boarding and daycare environments, with a strong focus on behavior, safety, and low-stress handling. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, administering medications, following special routines, and working with dogs that benefit from a calmer environment. My background has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs and adjusting care accordingly. I also carry pet care insurance in addition to Rover’s protections and believe in clear, honest communication so owners can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work from home, which allows me to spend the majority of my day with the dogs in my care rather than being away at a traditional 9-to-5 job. My schedule is built around feeding routines, walks, enrichment, potty breaks, cleaning, and individual attention. While I occasionally leave for errands or appointments, dogs are not routinely left alone for a full workday. I provide care in a calm, structured home environment designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Dogs are supervised, managed thoughtfully, and given appropriate opportunities for activity and rest throughout the day. I prioritize low-stress handling, safe management practices, and predictable routines that help dogs settle in successfully. Each dog’s care is adjusted based on their age, temperament, energy level, and individual needs.

About: My name is Grace and I am a 19 year old pre med student. I am hoping to earn a little extra to help pay for classes! I have grown up with pets my whole life and have always loved having them around. However after my past dog Beau past away I felt no desire to have another but missed the affection so I would love to provide temporary care and love for your fur babies! I am currently a part time student and worker so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! I am available anytime, any day for some extra care! I have a fenced in yard with a ton of room for running and playing. Along with a home they can roam about as they please! I can crate your babies if need be but it is absolutely your choice!

About: Your trusted pet boarding spot near Fort Benning, GA—where every pup feels right at home! We offer nearly 1-acre of completely fenced & secured yard space for safe, joyful outdoor time. Plus a dedicated private section for reactive or shy dogs: fully isolated from other pets, but never from the love, walks, one-on-one attention, and top-notch care they deserve. Extra-large kennels (5 ft wide x 10 ft long x 5.5 ft high) provide superior comfort, especially for big breeds or those who love to stretch out. Specializing in holiday boarding, long-term stays, and personalized care for all personalities. Expect daily walks, playtime, enrichment, cozy setups, photos, and updates so you stay connected. Peace of mind while you're away—your dog's happy home away from home! My husband works from home and can adjust his schedule accordingly. Weekends are always utilized for long walks and we always assure to make time for those fur babies entrusted into our care. We have a completely fenced in Backyard ( 6ft privacy ) our 4 Dogs are used to other dogs utilizing the yard while they are inside. We also have part of the yard with an additional fence which leads to a separate entrance to the house - meaning those babies we watch can have their own yard. We offer big Kennel Space with an elevated Bed - heat; a/c; TV some even decided last Summer to swim in our Pool which we are perfectly ok with :-) Our dogs are all fixed, UTD and on monthly preventative for flea and tick medicine - and always happy to have an additional fur friend join the walks. We had hospice dogs in the past and also quite a few fosters recovering from surgery and ok with giving daily medicine (not including shots)

About: Family and friends have relied on the caring for their doggies while away without the stress. I send daily photos of the fun we are having and the loves they are receiving. I am currently working full time from home. I have plenty of time to take them out to potty and run around in my fenced yard. I have a fenced yard so they can potty often and get exercise. We often go for walks when I'm off work so they can explore and exercise even more.

Samantha is awesome!!! We did a meet and greet prior to me booking her for daycare. She’s very professional. She verified his shots were up-to-date, and asked detailed questions concerning his care. This was the first time we booked with her and she sent pictures and updates immediately, which set me at ease. Chase enjoyed his stay with her. He was very comfortable with her and developed an immediate attachment to her. He had a blast. We are definitely using her again. She’s fantastic. Thank you Samantha for going above and beyond to make us both feel at ease.
