About: I grew up with dogs all my life. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats when my mom had a pet sitting business. I love taking care of dogs. I’m a very compassionate and caring person and owner. I’ll walk, feed, and play with your dogs to give them the best care! I’m currently in grad school so I have to work around that. I’m also working part-time. I have more flexibility on weekends and most mornings. I’m available most days of the week except for Thursday evenings. I’d love to care for your pets in your home where the pet would feel more comfortable and safe. Either by walking them or drop in to care for them.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the care, patience, and attention I give them! As a pet owner myself, I know firsthand that our pets aren't just animals; they're family! ❤️🐾 I'm also a mom and a former elementary school teacher, so patience, responsibility, and creating a safe, loving environment come naturally to me. Having pets of my own, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust when you can't be there. Whether your fur baby loves walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing and getting some extra cuddles, I'll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. I'm happy to follow their normal schedule and give them the individual attention they deserve. I also love keeping pet parents updated with pictures and messages because I know how much peace of mind that brings! My goal is to make your pets feel like they're part of my family while giving you the confidence that they're being cared for like one of my own! 🐶🐱❤️ As a mom and pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday routine! 🐾❤️ My days include taking care of my own fur babies, making sure they're fed, happy, loved, and getting plenty of attention. Being a former teacher has also taught me the importance of routines, patience, and being dependable. I enjoy having a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. Whether it's stopping by for potty breaks, going on walks, providing playtime, or giving some extra cuddles, I'm happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that fits their furry family members' needs. I know how important consistency is for pets, and my goal is to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away! ❤️ Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities! 🐾❤️ As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur babies in someone else's care. I promise to treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect their space and do my best to keep their pets on their normal routines. From feeding schedules and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I'm very mindful of safety, including making sure doors and gates are secure, using leashes when needed, and paying close attention to each pet's behavior and individual needs. I also understand that some pets are shy, anxious, or need a little extra patience, and I'm happy to give them the time and reassurance they need. If caring for pets in my home, I believe in providing a clean, loving, and supervised environment, with careful introductions to my own pets to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Communication is also very important to me! I love sending pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you're away. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable leaving your pet in my care and for your pet to feel like they've made a new best friend! ❤️🐶🐱
About: As a lifelong pet owner and caretaker of animals, I love the opportunity to meet new furry friends! I have worked with my family to train all of our dogs and cats while having them be a part of the family! I’m currently working full time but spend plenty of time with my fur baby to make sure she’s taken care of and happy. I ensure that your fur baby is treated like my own and every animal I come into contact with is taken care of to the highest degree!
About: When it comes to animals I am all in! I have grown up around animals my whole life and even found my passion in the animal medical field. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility until I took my career as being a vet tech! I am currently a stay at home mom for now until I go back to work so I am very free throughout the whole week! My care for your animal will be superior. I can care for your animal wether it’s a long walk or just some love to keep your pet company.
About: Your pet(s) will be treated and cared for like family, and the environment is calming, secure, and quiet to assist with comfort and boarding stay. I'm currently part-time; however, I can make adjustments as necessary and can board daily and on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. We can discuss the details of the care for your fur baby at the meet and greet. Have a fenced-in yard at home with a security system. Located around animal treatment/medical facilities. I have a 5-year-old German Shepherd who is calm and well-trained.
About: I have been around animals my entire life and grew up caring for two dogs. I currently have two adopted cats. I volunteer as a dog walker at the Humane Society and have fostered dogs numerous times. These experiences have taught me how to patiently care for animals with different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I genuinely love both dogs and cats, and I will treat your pets with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own :) I work remotely, so I am always home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision. I have a large yard and a walkable neighborhood for dogs to exercise and explore. Whether your pet enjoys relaxing, going on walks, relaxing scratches or playing tug of war, I can easily accommodate their routine I have two friendly cats and plenty of space to keep pets safely separated based on their personalities and comfort levels. Shy or nervous cats can have a designated bedroom entirely to themselves, complete with food, fresh water, treats, toys, multiple litter boxes, a cat tower, and high perches. Social cats may explore the house once they are comfortable. Dogs will receive supervised outdoor time, neighborhood walks, and plenty of play and attention. I will follow your pet’s normal routine and provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your fur baby is doing :)
About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Folkston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Folkston after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker 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.

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 use the 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
