About: I'm a single female in Brunswick with a love for all animals. I grew up making money petsitting for neighbors from a young age. I have always owned cats myself but have a fond love for dogs as well. I have 3 fur babies of my own who tend to be spoiled. I've worked with all sizes of fur babies from bottle feeding kittens to handling dogs that weighed as much as I did. I have no problems with babies to seniors, giving medications, or exercising the children to get that energy out. I work long hours Monday through Thursday but am free most weekends and holidays. I am also an early bird so 7am walks are no problem at all. Your babies are safe with me!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to follow specific routines and instructions to make sure each dog gets the care they’re used to. I’ll treat every dog like they’re my own and make sure they get lots of love and attention! I’m a senior in high school who gets out of school at 11:40 a.m., so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m open to working around each pet’s routine and needs. Since I have a flexible schedule, I can provide regular check-ins, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get some exercise, as well as seven friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I’ll always keep a close eye on your pet and make sure they receive the attention, care, and supervision they need.
“Ashley is so attentive and truly a blessing to my fur baby. I was nervous with this being my first Rover experience. He immediately took right to her. She communicates very prompt and effectively. She is efficient and not only walks my baby but spends time playing with him and feeding him. I definitely recommend booking Ashley! She is a great photographer too. Always sending pic and videos on his Rover card!”
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have had one or two dogs of my own for most of my life. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds and personalities and have experience raising dogs from puppyhood, which has given me a lot of patience and confidence with all kinds of behaviors. I’m especially comfortable with high-energy and strong-willed dogs. I’m an active walker and runner, so I’m happy to give energetic pups plenty of exercise through long walks or even jogs. I also have experience with gentle, compassionate leash training for dogs who are still learning. I’m currently puppy-less for the first time and would love to pour that extra love, attention, and energy into caring for your dog as if they were my own. I work from home as a travel advisor and maintain a flexible, self-managed schedule. This allows me to easily accommodate daytime drop-in visits, and I keep my availability updated on a weekly basis. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m happy to provide frequent drop-in visits or overnight pet sitting in your home, as trust allows. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to follow your established schedule and activities so your dog or cat can maintain a sense of normalcy while you’re away.
“Ashley came at the last minute and really tried to work out a meet and greet despite the last minute and having family from out of town. She was responsive and came on time and kept us notified. I will definitely use her again and think she does a really good job!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my entire life, starting with helping my grandmothers care for their dogs and later taking an active role in caring for my own family dog. I eventually got my own cat, who I’ve independently cared for for several years. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve spent the past 4 months working as an overnight pet sitter, caring for pets of all ages and types and making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need while their owners are away. I’ve also worked with children through babysitting and have experience staying calm, responsible, and attentive in situations that require patience and flexibility. My love for animals has even influenced my education. I’m currently a student-athlete at the College of Coastal Georgia majoring in Marine Biology. I’m passionate about animal care and treat every pet as an individual, taking the time to understand their routines, personalities, and specific needs. As a student-athlete, my weekday schedule can be fairly busy, especially before 3 p.m. However, I’m definitely open to working on weekdays as long as we can discuss the schedule ahead of time and make sure it works with my classes and practices. I have much more flexibility on weekends, with the exception of a few Saturday mornings when I have practice. I’ll always communicate my schedule and availability in advance so that pet care can be planned accordingly. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions and stick to their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whatever your pet needs, I’m happy to accommodate! My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the visit so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: My family and I have taken care of two Chihuahuas over the past 20 years. My extended family was raised around dogs so we are always around them. I usually take them on walks as I enjoy doing that myself. I am currently applying for work around the greater Brunswick area. I wouldn’t mind starting with a part-time job which would give me plenty of time to help people with their pets. We have three dogs at home and they are all rescue pets so it brings me joy to take care of them daily. I usually take them on walks when it’s not too hot.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life honestly. I was always told I had a “bee charm” because I’ve never had a bad experience with any animal, even ones others have labeled aggressive or unfriendly. I treat my animals like my babies. They’re people who just don’t speak English to me. I work in the restaurant industry so I don’t work long hours and I’m flexible. My sister is also a rover sister and she spends a lot of time at my house. I have a fenced yard in the back that my dog loves to sun bath in and do his business. I have a nice quiet neighborhood that we love to take walks around. My house is full of love. Me and my children love animals. Some would even say we baby them. My sweet boy sleeps at the end of my bed and when I leave I like to put on a movie or pandora so he doesn’t feel alone.
About: First off I am more than just a dog sitter..I am an animal lover and I have a lot of compassion for all dogs and animals ! Your dog/furbaby is going to think of me as a best friend before the day is over. I will be available at least 3 times a day to walk, feed, groom, play, and whatever else it is you and your dog need ! I have not only owned my own furbabies, but I have also helped take care of other people’s pets for at least 17 years now. I love all animals and can help take care of your pets even if it is more than just a dog..I also love and take care of cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, and more ! I work from home and only leave to drop-in on my other fur baby clients. So I am never gone any longer than 30 minutes a day. I have a fenced in yard, so all fur babies in my care get to roam free and I also take them on walks around my neighborhood for exercise. Not to mention the one on one attention they receive and endless love and cuddles! I make homemade dog treats too. Sweet potato, blueberries, and all!
About: My flexible schedule and love for animals is what sets me apart. I guarantee your pet will be very loved and cared for. I also have experience with taking care of senior dogs that have a hard time walking. Along with experience with younger pets. (If needed: I also have reptile experience) I have a flexible college schedule but I am not allowed to have pets in my dorm. There forth I’ll have plenty of free time to pamper your pet! In order to care for the pet at the owners home; I would alternate my services depending on the pet and owners needs. Every pet is different so I’m willing to do whatever is needed.
About: From cats to chickens and gerbils to guinea pigs, animals, including dogs of all sizes have been apart of my family over the years. I have a fur baby of my own, Vera, who I met over a year ago while volunteering at the animal shelter. I’m happy to share she is my #fosterfail. I love taking her for walks and giving her lots of cuddles. I like following Caesar Millan’s techniques and his approach of being a pack leader. I’m in grad school so my schedule is filled with classes and school work. I have flexibility to love and care for your pets while you’re away taking them on walks, giving belly rubs, and playing with them. I am happy to love and care for your pets through giving them plenty of affection and attention to support their individual needs. Your pets are your family and I want them to feel safe with me. Before the service I recommend meeting with you and your pet so we can ensure the smoothest experience possible. The more I know about your pet the better I can love and care for them. I want to know of any dietary requirements, potty break schedule, and unique needs. I am also happy to provide updates that fit your schedule. Please let me know how I can help :)
About: I have always loved animals and caring for them. I started animal care in highschool starting with pet sitting moving into shelter work. I really enjoyed being able to play with and care for animals of all kinds. Though I have a special love for cats, having three of my own. I truly just enjoy getting to meet and spend time with different animals. I also love being able to get in some exercise of my own while going on walks with dogs.. I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare. Which gives me plenty of free time to fill! I look forward to filling it with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in yard to spend plenty of outside time in safely with your pet. All dogs must be cat friendly. We are no strangers to couch snuggles too!

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
