“Amber did a great job with our three pups. The day before our trip one of our girls got very ill and she was excellent at getting her to eat and take her meds. By the time we got back she was her normal self again!”
“Sarah was absolutely the best Rover I’ve ever used! I’m always a little anxious leaving my two dogs when I go away, but this was my first time traveling since moving states away from family and friends that could be available if needed. Sarah was extremely communicative and always sent me pictures along with updates to let me know how they were doing. My girls warmed up to her so fast! She is also just the sweetest person to interact with. The house was perfect when I came home and I came back to two happy dogs. Will absolutely be booking with Sarah in the future!”
“She did really good watching our boys. We appreciated daily photos/videos of the dogs and her ability to care for them late notice!”
“Penelope always enjoys when Aiden comes over!!!! We cannot recommend Aiden enough. Thank you for always taking such great care of Penelope!!!”
“Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!”
“Amber took amazing care of our home and Pepperoncini over the weekend. Peppa got lots of play time and lovins. Our home was left clean and tidy, highly recommend Amber☺️”
“Sydney was a great sitter. She was informative about Bailey while we were away. She was prompt and as well as she was able to take us last minute especially with how hectic Masters had the local area. Thank you so much and I look forward to booking her again!”
About: I grew up around animals. We had a golden retriever named Belle and a cat named Missy. I had two very active cockapoos in my mid to late twenties in New England named Bernoulli and Olyver. I’ve cared for pets in a variety of locations including cities and suburbs. I recently moved to Augusta where I take care of several different animals for my family including dogs, cats, and a rabbit. I’m looking to expand my love for animals into the community. I’m free most weekdays and weekends and can accommodate for some holidays. I stay active so taking walks and playing with pets will be an easy addition to my daily routine. Being around animals of any kind brings me joy and my goal is to love your pets like my own. I have plenty of space, inside and out, to take great care of almost any sized dogs or cats. I try to keep pets on the same routine as they follow with their owners to reduce any stress on them. My yard is currently not fenced in due to storm damage, so your pets will stay leashed while in my yard until the new fence is complete and secure. Pet friendly furniture and home for making animals feel welcome and comfortable in new environments.
“Meaghan did amazing watching our big dog and two cats! We could not have asked for a better sitter to stay the weekend at home with our animals. She was kind, very attentive to the creatures, played with them, administered medicine, and followed all instructions perfectly! She was also very communicative, sent tons of pictures, and cleaned up our house nicely before she left. We will definitely be asking her to come again!!”
“Lucas was exceptional in taking care of my dog from beginning to end. He truly loves dogs and it shows in his approach. I highly recommend him!”
“Dorthy did a fantastic job taking care of all 6 of our pets! She went above and beyond and took care of them as her own! She has a gift with animals and all of our pets loved her. I would absolutely recommended her to anyone looking for a fabulous sitter!”
“Meron always does a great job taking care of our little zoo (5 cats and 1 dog). Our dog Audrey is very skittish, but she trusts Meron and feels safe with her, which is huge for Audrey!”
“Lisa was great! My pets were well taken care of and I received plenty of updates with photos. My home was clean when I arrived home and my pets were great. Thank you Lisa”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. My current calm & freely flowing lifestyle allows me to give them lots of love attention. Everyone who knows me jokes about me being the animal whisperer! In recent years I’ve regularly sat for two dogs (puppy and adult), as well as two kittens. Cats and dogs in my care are are well fed, played with, loved on, and taken for nice active walks. I hope to establish long term, reliable pet-sitting relationships so that I can really get to know the animals I care for and provide a trusted sitter for fellow fur-parents! I work from home and I'm an oil painter -- many of the pets I sit love to watch me paint and they're the best company ever. :) I’m a full-time student, so my availability varies throughout the day. Upon request, I can commit to visits between classes and overnight care. My nights are typically free. I am always willing to make exceptions for urgent requests, so just ask me in advance! Schedule in advance for overnight arrangements. I have a spacious, three bedroom home. I have plenty of yard space for fresh air in between walks. I occasionally sit for my mother’s dog, Coco, who makes a great playmate and napping buddy for your dog/cat too. My place has minimal furnishings or hard surfaces, so it is pet proof! I adhere to any provided feeding schedules and send frequent updates on how your pet is doing.
“Always goes above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend a better sitter for over night or just the day. Very informative and takes such good care of Theo.”
“Valerie is an incredible sitter. Our dogs absolutely love her and she is so wonderful with them. I recommend to to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Amazing!!”
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of multiple animals from horses to geese. It was my job to take care of the dogs and barn cats. I’ve always loved every animal and learned to respect and adapt to any dog or cats need. I’ve taken care of my senior dog up until he was close to 20 years old and had multiple cats in my care. I’m currently working part time so I’m almost always available to care for your pets. I have no problems getting to and from your home and I’m always looking for work. I will feed, water, clean after and if needed I can walk your pet. I have no problem with high maintenance diet preparations and can handle high energy dogs.
“Amanda was great, she to take care of the puppies but my house as well. I highly recommend her and will be reaching out anytime I need Otter and Bella taken care of.”
About: I have always been around and loved animals. As a child, I raised many beloved animals with my siblings, including: cats, dogs, rabbits, fish, turtles, ferrets, hermit crabs, and a horse. I started pet sitting when I was in middle school caring for our neighbor’s cat when they would go on vacation. Currently, I have three dogs back at home, including an Akita, German Shepherd, and English Setter. Each of whom I have trained since they were young. I also work as a volunteer with CSRA Humane Society, a local shelter in Augusta, in my freetime. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Neuroscience, and I am currently in graduate school to become a Dentist. I am seeking part-time work to help supplement my living expenses. During the week, I am a in full-time school. I am usually available all day Wednesdays, Weekends, and after 4pm any other days during the week. Safety and trust are a big priority for me! I think relationship building starts during the meet and greet. This is a great time to not only be introduced to your pet, but to start becoming accustomed to their environment and routine. I love to learn about what activities the pet likes to engage in as well as their favorite toys. I think it is also important to learn about how your pet interacts with other humans/pets in case there are any external interactions.
