“Paige was amazing!!! She took such great care of Bella and went the extra mile when Bella wasn’t eating to figure out how to get her to eat a little and to check in with us. She sent us updates and pictures. I can’t tell you how awesome it was to know our baby was in good hands and being spoiled while we were away !!”
“Always super helpful and nice when I book with her. This was a last minute booking and I’m so thankful she was available. My dog has crazy anxiety and compared to the first time and this one she took barely any time to get used to Kaelin.”
“Ellie is an absolute pleasure. She's exceptionally polite and very efficient with her time. She stayed with my pup and gave her plenty of walks, lots of time and care and I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND her. She was pleasant from the meet n greet all the way to the end. She asked great questions to ensure she knew as much as she could including any of homesitting needs before staying at my home. She also sent me tons of updates and photos while I was away. I was so comfortable with her and her communication was tip top! If anyone is need of a sitter, Ellie is your person, hands down! BOOK HER NOW!!!!”

We also appreciated her sending lots of updates, photos, & videos!”

About: I have been a vet assistant, I’ve worked with horses, cats, dogs, birds, lizards, and snakes. I always go the extra mile and believe that pets deserve the very best. I uber full time so I’m very flexible with your needs. If your cat needs more time to adjust, I will give them that. Cats are beautiful, kind and sweet, and I can’t wait to meet yours! I take care of your babies as if they were mine, I will give them love and attention with boundaries. I specialize in difficult cases. If your pet needs a little extra time and attention that’s no problem.

About: Hi I'm Hannah! I grew up on a farm surrounded by 30+ dogs, so caring for pups has always been part of my life. From bottle-feeding newborn puppies to helping shy or energetic dogs thrive, I know how to bring out the best in every pup’s personality. Whether your dog wants to run, play, or just relax and cuddle, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes—tiny lap pups, playful mediums, and even giant breeds. Along with raising my own two dogs, Jasmine and Freya, I regularly care for my sister’s two chihuahuas and a friend’s pit bull mix, so I’m used to switching gears between different personalities and energy levels. With years of hands-on experience, I can adapt to your dog’s unique needs and routine, giving them both structure and affection. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family, and I promise consistent, reliable, and loving care—treating your pup like one of my own. I can’t wait to meet your best friend and give them the care (and belly rubs!) they deserve. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m in the process of applying to MBA programs and doing some part-time and gig work, which allows me to shift my time around as needed. That flexibility means I can prioritize pet care. Whether that’s daily walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, I can give each pet the attention they deserve. Since my dog Freya doesn’t get along with most other dogs, I’m not able to host pets in my own home. However, my husband works remotely, which gives me the flexibility to stay in your home and care for your pets with ease. When caring for pets, I like to start with a meet-and-greet (and even a walk-through of your pet’s routine if helpful) so I can learn exactly what makes them comfortable. I’ll stick to their schedule as closely as possible, provide regular updates, and always ask questions if something comes up. My goal is to give your pet the best care possible while giving you peace of mind.
“Ashly was literally the best!! We was able to go on vacation and not stress about our fur babies. We got multiple updates and photos daily which I love and the dogs looked so happy. She even took them to the park twice!! We can’t say enough good things about Ashly. If you are looking for someone to care and love your fur baby as you do she is your girl!!!”

Far South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley took amazing care of our dog and provided us frequent updates and pictures! Our dog was experiencing some health issues and having frequent bathroom accidents so we really appreciated Ashley’s gentleness and patience with her and her availability to work from our home.
Nicole did an awesome job taking care of my two dogs and two cats while I was away on vacation. She was great with communication, following directions, and making sure all the animals received love. One cat is elderly and blind, but I feel like I left my baby in good hands while away. House and critters were all looking good when I got back. I would definitely use her services again!
I highly recommend Sarah to anyone who needs a house sitter! She was so communicative and made us feel totally at ease as she took care of our 3 cats and dog while we were out of the country. She also very resourcefully got into our house after the key I made her didn’t work! I’d give her ten stars if I could.
