House Sitting in High Shoals

“As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!”

“Phoebe was absolutely fantastic. She took such great care of our (high maintenance) pups and left our home in perfect shape. She always responded quickly and sent plenty of pics. 10/10!”

“Megan is so experienced! Our two dogs were happy receiving her TLC. That made me happy as well as coming home to find everything in perfect order. I certainly appreciated getting updates and photos, We have booked Megan for our next trip! We feel so fortunate to have connected with Megan.”

“Samantha did a great job watching our stubborn English Bulldog. She’s reliable and gave us peace of mind while we were gone for 8 days. Our pup has some behavioral quirks but Samantha was patient and did not have any issues caring for her. We came back to a calm and relaxed pup. Our home was also left clean. Thank you Samantha!”

“Alanna is a sweetheart….she was playing with Murphy right away. Alanna listened to instructions and immediately felt at home around Murphy! Hope to keep using her in the future!!”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care provided for my 16-year-old pittie mix, Dooley. She followed every direction we gave and went above and beyond to make sure Dooley was comfortable and well cared for. I especially appreciated the thoughtful communication and updates, which gave me peace of mind while we were away. Not only did she care for Dooley with patience and kindness, but she also cleaned up after herself, leaving everything spotless. It’s rare to find someone so responsible, compassionate, and attentive. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you, Karen and Debbie”

“Olivia followed all instructions and took amazing care of my cat. We had a longer stay, and she and Garfi became very close. She communicated well with us throughout and even looked after our house while we were away. We will definitely book her again!”

About: I've got multiple years of experience handling a highly anxious dog that can be dog selective during high stress situations. I was the one primarily training my family's two dogs, as well as the one taking them out on as many walks as I was able. I have multiple years worth of experience with senior dogs that had arthritis and who needed to have their food prepped especially for easier eating. I'm currently a student at the University of Georgia and currently looking into part time summer positions, however my schedule is very flexible with daily check-ins and overnight stays during both the week and weekend are very doable. During check-ins, outside of ensuring food and water are available, I would make sure to spend time playing and hanging out with any dog and if I have time to take them on a walk I will. For overnights, I would do the same thing with the only difference being the amount of time I'd be able to spend with the dog.

“Preston did an absolutely outstanding job caring for our animals while we were away for a week. Our dog, who is both highly anxious and sometimes aggressive, completely warmed up to him - a true testament to Preston’s patience and skill. He not only gave our dog the care and attention he needed but also made sure our two cats, two mini horses, and donkey were all well cared for and happy. We came home to a tidy house, content animals, and total peace of mind knowing everything had been handled so well. If you’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely caring pet sitter, Preston is the one!”

“Molly was amazing with my dog Maple. She took her for walks around the neighborhood and stayed overnight at our house. I would recommend Molly to anyone!”

I am currently a Graduate student at the University of Georgia and will be off for the summer and available at any time required for service. I typically visit 3-4 times a day, and can stay overnight if requested. I can take dogs on walks as many times as needed, and I will make your pet my priority in my day-to-day schedule. I am not able to bring pets to my home, but I will follow any requirements or schedules needed for your pet, in your home, so that they are able to be at peace while you are away.

About: Hey! I’m Savannah, I just graduated from esthetician school and now working as a solo esthetician in Athens. From birth I’ve always been surrounded by dogs from Dobermans to Pomeranians. I’ve always had a huge heart for animals, especially dogs, and I’d love to help care for yours while you’re away. I have recently gotten three kittens and have fallen in love with cats now. As someone trained in both skincare and healthcare, (from lifeguarding growing up) I know how important it is to be detail oriented, compassionate, and trustworthy. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving your pup extra snuggles, or going on energy burning walks, I’m committed to giving your fur baby the love and attention they deserve. Let me know your animals needs, routines, quirks, and I’ll take care of them like they’re my own. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet and greet! I’d love to get to know you and your fur baby! I’m currently working part-time as a licensed esthetician but have plenty of time to work around any days you would need! I would be available mostly during the week and holidays! When pets stay with me, they become part of the family! I create a calm, cozy, and pet safe environment where they can feel comfortable, loved, and secure. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to their pace and needs.

“Heaven was a wonderful house sitter and caregiver for our pets while we were away. We have two high energy and needy dogs and she took such great care of them along with our 2 cats too! She left our house tidy and clean. And she even left us a card and flowers which was just so incredibly sweet and such a nice gift to come home to! I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet or house sitter. And I will definitely ask her to house sit again in the future!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, XL American Bullies, and Cane Corsos. I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just lots of attention and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I promise to be dependable, responsible, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.

About: I have over 4 years of pet care experience and am a dedicated dog owner myself, with two dogs at home. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I also truly enjoy working with cats. I have basic training experience, including reinforcing leash walking and simple commands. My goal is always to provide reliable, attentive care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently working morning part time shifts, I have more then enough time though out the day to come and hangout with your pets walk talk and play! I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure the environment is nice and calm. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as provided and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I am a firm believer in communication and love sending updates. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest based on their individual needs and energy levels. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and like to keep everything tidy while ensuring their pet feels secure and cared for in their usual environment.

“Lila was awesome! Very attentive with the dogs and responsive with me. Daily check in's and photos. Will definitely ask her to dog sit again!”

“I was skeptical to use Rover, but I had to make last-minute travel plans and my regular pet sitter was unavailable so I decided to give it a try. I was also afraid that nobody was going to want to take care of my eight dogs (mostly senior and special needs) and one cat. I contacted Amber and described all of my pets and their special needs, and she was up for the challenge. She even shared pictures and stories of her own babies to make me feel more at ease. Leaving six dogs over the age of 12, two special needs Frenchies (one deaf and one paralyzed), and one 17-year-old cat in the care of a stranger was very difficult for me to do. Upon meeting Amber, however, I was quickly put at ease. My animals immediately took to her and I could tell she was a kind, calm, gentle soul, which made leaving them easier. Amber handled all of my babies with extreme care and even read and followed my many, many pages of instructions. When she had questions, she texted or called me just like I asked. She took on the challenge of my paralyzed Frenchie like a pro - and it's not an easy job. She had to express her bladder every several hours, change her diaper, give her baths, carry her around, and give her lots of snuggles! She administered medications to my animals and gave them the various types of different food they eat. I came home to a happy, healthy crew of animals - and a new friend! I'm so happy I chose Amber and that she "chose" us. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!”

“Truly outstanding, from the meet-and-greet through her departure. Excellent communication, attention to detail, etc. Would highly recommend; hope to hire again in the future!”
