“Cedric is always excited to see Kate! She makes sure his needs are met and when she sends me photos I can see that he is having a good time. How nice it is to know that when I need to be away from my fur baby for longer than I want to, I can have a very trustworthy sitter to check in on him❤️??”


About: What sets me apart is from the amount of expensive I’ve had with animals. 3 years in pet sitting but my parents were breeders so I grew up with animals. I treat them like my best friend! I ensure my care and love gets through to them to make them as happy as possible while giving them much attention I baby sit mid day I won’t be there then but every other time I will and I’m able to do over night. Pretty free most the time I only do clients home and I ensure the safety and trust by letting them get to know me more then giving them much attention while keep at their daily routine

“Emaleah, was fantastic! She went above and beyond caring for my pets, ensuring they were comfortable and entertained. I will definitely be going back to Emaleah in the future!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and other large animals my whole life. I have alot of experience with my own and other's animals. I will love your pet as if it was my own! A quick potty break walk or a nice long stimulating walk with your pet. My schedule is very flexible. I can provide a drop in or walk that is custom to your pet.

I will take all the precautions at your home to make sure your pet is secure at all times. Use their crate, leash or any other aid provided. I will securely lock up your home with picture proof!

About: I’m an animal lover so I have decided to do a job that involves me doing something I love. I’m currently in college to a marine biologist then to become a vet. I have been surrounded by pets growing up and I love it. I’m available anytime also I always update my calendar so you will be able to see when I’m available but please feel free to message me if you have questions. I have a dachshund she is alittle over a year old and a cat. If I can I would like to dog sit at my house so I can also attend to my dog but it is whatever you are comfortable is.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a kid. I am a huge dog lover. My mom has 13 dogs of her own that I occasionally help out with. If you need me to play with your dog, cuddle with your dog, or just speak to your dog, I’m your girl! I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to play and love on your pups! I will give them a comfy, entertaining setting to play in. I have a fenced in yard, and 3 dogs of my own for your fur babes to play with. Parker is our chocolate lab/border collie mix. He is friendly and super full of energy! Lucy is our rescue from Walton County Animal shelter. She is a mixed breed. (Unsure of breed) We think beagle/pit, and she is super sweet and is fixed. Winnie is our new guy. He is a lab/hound mix and he is just a big goofy guy. We do have three outdoor cats and one indoor/outdoor cat as well. I also have 2 children under the age of 2 so the entertainment will definitely always be here.

About: YOU CAN USE THE $20 OFF COUPON if this is your first time using Rover. (Use code SUSANJ93758) Even if you choose another sitter, you can use this coupon! We hope you will choose us but if someone else is a better fit then this is a gift for you anyway! I will keep your cat or dog in my home for a few hours, days, weeks or months; whatever you need. We love animals! Your baby will be loved on and played with (exercised). I have an Intro to Vet Tech Certificate and used to be a groomer. Your pet will get lots of attention and be very happy with us! Read our reviews! We cater to your pet's needs and give them lots of attention and love so they aren't upset and anxious while you're away. Included with your stay of two or more days are at least two (usually closer to six) professional type pet portraits (digital files). I use a Canon EOS 50D, the last of the heavy body 15mp cameras they made. It takes excellent, high quality photos you can enlarge on your computer. I do appreciate tips! Note: If your male dog marks indoors, I can't keep him. With a puppy, an accident is on the floor, easily cleaned. A dog that marks does so on vertical surfaces, some of which are impossible to clean without residual staining, and if it isn't witnessed it would be impossible to know everywhere it happened. Thank you for understanding. (Note: IF YOU JUST WANT A PORTRAIT (you will receive at least two), you can book/pay for an overnight and bring your groomed pet just for a photo shoot and I'll text the files once payment clears.) YOU CAN USE THE $20 OFF COUPON if this is your first time using Rover. (Use code SUSANJ93758) I stay at home 5 days per week (college 2 classes-2 days); disabled/use a cane. My husband works 7 minutes away in case of any emergency and is a volunteer firefighter who runs for exercise and would love to bring your dog along! I have cat trees and perches, toys, an extra room and LOVE so if you need someone who will take good care of your baby you can call on me. Reference (name/phone #) from previous customer available. I can train your dog to speak on command in 1-2 weeks; will start it and show you how (it's not hard!) if the stay is shorter. I have trained my own dogs basic commands plus more in the past. I'm self-taught in dog training; I've read tons of books, watched many videos, even learned some service dog training. We have a 15 month old tabby cat (bottle raised) who loves to play with cats and dogs and has been tested negative for FIV and FELV; up to date on his shots and neutered. We also have an 8 month old female Ragdoll who's spayed and has been tested negative for FIV and FELV; up to date on her shots. We would love to babysit your kitty (no intact male cats over 5 months). You will receive AT LEAST one photo per day via text with an update on how your fur baby's doing. I am also a talented amateur photographer so you'll have expressive fun pics of your fur baby. You'll receive digital copies in texts! If you love your pics, tips are greatly needed and appreciated! Note: I may use some pics of your pet to build my photography portfolio and post here on Rover. Also offer: Full Groom with bath, blow dry, brush out & claws clipped $25. for cats and dogs. That includes trimming excess fur from the paws as needed. (Long hair cats benefit from trimming out the fur from between the paw pads; it doesn't show from the top.) If your dog stays for 7 days or more, a weekly bath is included! Note: if your pet will bite with nail clipping it won't be done! In that case, we will give a bath/blow dry. Sometimes I'll give a free trim with the bath if it's a Schnauzer or Yorkie type that needs it but will check with you first. Final note: Tips are appreciated (but not necessary)! I only mention it because most people don't realize they can, or how much more they're getting when they trust their pet to us. Although you will be receiving awesome digital photos of your baby, I will be gaining experience and shots for my portfolio, so don't feel like you have to tip; but it is really appreciated if you'd like to! What's also great is when you are happy and become a regular client!

Susan & Marcus J.

“Susan loves animals as much as anyone I have met. She and her husband are kind people with warm hearts. She is trained as a vet tech and knows how to handle animals when they are dealing with being away from their parents. Susan kept my elderly cat in her home for two weeks over the holidays. She sent me regular updates to include lots of photos. There was never a moment when I had to wonder if my beloved cat was safe and well cared for. There was never a time when I couldn't contact her Susan made special efforts to make sure my cat, who hates being away from me, was as happy and healthy as possible. Her attention to detail in setting up the care gave me a lot of confidence. She insisted on seeing health and shot records. She gave me a very clear set of instructions detailing what I should bring when I dropped my cat off with her. She also made sure I knew what to expect from her while she had my cat. Susan is professional, capable and has a huge heart. I will not have anyone else watch my cat now that I have found Susan. She has my highest recommendation!”


Lasey G.
“Lasey is great with dogs and cats! She grew up with seven dogs and a bunch of cats. She is an animal lover and she loves all fur babies as if they were her own.”
