About: I've enjoyed having a dog since before I moved out of the house. My current dog, Leo is very friendly with all the neighbors-the kids love to stop and pet him. I've helped with dogs and cats when friends and neighbors are out of town. My sister's dog, Ferguson, a terrier/chihuahua mix has stayed with us off and own for a few years. It's interesting how you rise the occasion when you have a sick pet. My dog Sampson suffered from cancer several years ago now, and part of the treatment was to provide him with subcutaneous saline. In exchange for all the love and comfort a pet provides, it's paramount that we as owners provide the same in return. I am a recent retiree and have a flexible schedule. Weekday and weekend opportunities to help people with their pets is easy for me to do. All my dogs have been crate trained. When we leave the house it is not an issue to use the crate. My current dog, Leo behaves very well in the house alone, so we use the crate less and less with him. Almost always he camps out by the back door waiting for us to come home.
“Anna is great! Our dog seems really happy whenever she visits, and she always keeps us updated.”
“Brittany has a lovely personality and got along wonderfully with my (not so) lil guy. I'll definitely utilize her walking service again while I'm laid up with a broken foot during next month.”
“We are so happy to have found Jazmin! She really worked with our dog (who can be skittish at first around new people) to ensure he was comfortable with her, and sends awesome update and pictures after their walks. Would highly recommend!”
“Isobel was great! I appreciated that she came over to meet the dogs before we completed our booking. She was very loving with them. I also appreciated that she came on time every day. Dogs have a schedule! We will definitely use her again as a dog walker.”
“Holly was great - kept me up to date on the pup, was on time, and met Osla ahead of time. Recommend!”
About: I have multiple years of experience working in veterinary care as a Kennel Technician where I cared for boarded animals. I have also worked professionally as a pet sitter/dog walker with one of Atlanta’s top pet sitting companies. I enjoy working with dogs, cats and animals of all sizes and breeds. I also have experience with rodents, so with the unique attention and care they require. My promise is to meet each and every need of your fur babies, and to love on them just as I do with my own little angels. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to go above and beyond in caring for your pets. It is my absolute pleasure! I am currently in school at Georgia State, but I am available Monday-Sunday! Please feel free to reach out for specifics regarding my schedule, and I will accommodate you as best I can! I have my own cat with specials needs that requires medication and asthma treatment, so I am incredibly dedicated to caring for the health of all pets. I have also worked professionally with animals that have special needs, so I understand the unique circumstances and additional attention that they require. I will be more than happy to meet the needs of your fur baby.
“Mary always shows up right on time. Gus loves her and she is really good about sending pictures and filling out the walk card for every walk she takes him on. We have had problems with getting her access to our apartment and she has been very patient and understanding with it. I would be lost without her help every week!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, but have been taking care of them since I was around 10. I have 4 cats and a dog at home and they’re awesome!! I get along great with cats and am super patient with all animals. I am a student at Agnes Scott College, and I’ll be in Decatur all year, including the summer! I will be working from 8am-4pm on weekdays, but have weekends free. I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and I love taking care of them! I can walk your dog and take them to the park or crate them if needed. For cats, I can sit with them and give them lots of attention and all the head rubs they want.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for the last 34 consecutive years as an adult pet owner. I routinely sit for friends and neighbors. I welcome ALL aspects of pet care. I am a full-time gig worker and can work any appointments on Rover into my schedule. I probably love animals more than people and welcome every interaction I can get. I have never met a pet (especially dogs and cats) that didn’t take to me right away. I will care for your pets with all the love and compassion possible. I will be diligent in following any and all instructions you require.

Michael J.
“Growing up, Mike and I always had dogs....sometimes ones that he and I found as strays. He has has several larger dog breeds as an adult, and they have always had long healthy lives. Mike really enjoys hiking and having a four legged companion with him will provide the dog with exercise and necessary stimulation. Being retired allows Mike to be flexible with his scheduling and allows for a wider range of availability. I personally have used Rover for my dogs, and feel that Mike will make an excellent walker/sitter.”

She followed them to a T, and made showed them lots of love in my absence. She is now my go-to whenever I have to be out for a few days.”
