“Jasen did an amazing job with our big GoldenDoodle boys! They loved him and I felt so comfortable knowing he was hanging out with them. Jasen also adapted to our changing schedule and was flexible which helped so much! Highly recommend!”
“Brittany, sent videos along with written messages on each visit. I felt comfortable being out of the country after she sent the 1st post. Now I’m back and she left the sweetest holiday gift bag that included something for myself and my fur baby. Thanks again”
“This was our first time using Rover. We were super impressed with Kamara’s care of our cats. She was easy to communicate with and sent updates and several photos of our fur kids related to her feeding and playing with them. She really understands cats and got even our most skittish cat to come out and play sooner than expected. Our previous cat sitter we found through word of mouth moved away, so we were thrilled to learn about Rover.com to connect us with a new local cat sitter. Kamara was kind, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and responsible with our home and 2 cats while we’re gone. We feel lucky to have found her and will definitely contact her first the next time we have the need!”
“Lori was great with my fur babies, she was very good with them even though one was a puppy with a lot of energy. She updated us on the pups and sent pictures. She accommodated my request when my planned had changed and I appreciated her for that. I would booked with Lori again.”
“Emily ha cuidado de mis perritos en 8 ocasiones y no deja de sorprenderme. Siempre muy responsable y atenta a cada detalle. Es una excelente sitter. Ellos la adoran y yo tambien. :)”
About: I have a lot of love to give and no human babies so furbabies get it all. I love to stay active for my health and to tire out the dogs. I work from home, and I create my own schedule so I’m pretty flexible. I walk and run daily and I love dogs as my active partners. I have a huge fenced back yard and back porch and four dogs who are friendly, chill, and trained. They love new friends. I am all about routines and consistency, so my dogs know what to expect.
About: I always love dogs since I was little girls and I always had this good heart to care for animals when they needed love and never had any. Mon-Fri Mornings walks, and spending time with them so they’re never alone. Dogs are a human bestfriend and they are companion to our needs just like we are to them Showing them love and being there for their needs. I think it is so important to look after dogs because they are our biggest protector
About: I grew up with dogs and cats my whole life, and with a lifetime experience of caring for pets, I know how much your pet means to you. It’s not just sitting, it’s also about love, play, and genuine care from someone who’s been surrounded by animals her whole life. Your dog or cat deserves to feel at home, even when you’re away. I have big fenced backyard for dogs to run around in and a park right across from my house so I can give them walks. I am a teen volunteer for Grady once a week from 8am-12pm, and from there I have the rest of the day free to care of your pet. I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for them to play. I’m experienced with crates and I do own some if needed. Also, safety is my top priority, and I always follow your pet’s needs and preferences to keep them comfortable, happy, and secure.
“Lanae did drop-in visits for 4 days for our 3 kitties. She did such a great job! We received photos and updates daily on how our babies were doing. She fed them, played with them and cuddled wit them, as well as changed their litter box daily. She communicated everything really well and was super nice and friendly. The cats seemed happy when I got home and I didn’t need to immediately tend to one of their chores before I was able to spend some time with them. We plan to have Lanae do drop-in visits for us again in a few weeks so we can be at ease that our kitties will be just as happy!”
“JMark, is awesome!! I'm so glad I chose him. My Rottie Rome has really warmed up to him and looks forward to seeing him. They've quickly formed a bond and do well together. He keeps me updated on any developments concerning Rome, and we are pleased with his service. I hope he's apart of the family for a long while.”
About: With 8 years of pet care experience, I’m passionate about giving dogs the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s long walks through the park, cozy cuddle sessions, or keeping up with their unique routines, I treat every pet like family. My calm and patient nature helps me connect with animals of all personalities, from playful pups to shy seniors. I’m dedicated to ensuring your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. As a lifelong animal enthusiast, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I’m committed to tailoring my care to meet their individual needs. Let’s chat about how I can keep your pet’s tail wagging! Current Schedule: • Work Hours: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Monday to Friday, at a Behavioral Health Organization (5-minute commute from home). • Pet Care Needs: 3-4 daily checks for your pets and park visit • Remote Monitoring: Remote egress/ingress for your dogs. • Free Time: • Weekends: Fully available for long walks and park visits. • Weekdays: Available after work from 6:00 PM to midnight for pet-sitting services. In My Home: • Gated community, no toxic plants, and pet-proofed spaces. Daily checks for hazards, locked cabinets for meds/cleaners. • Smart pet cameras for monitoring. Provide consistent feeding, exercise, and routines tailored to each pup’s needs. Clean, cozy space with bedding, toys, and access to water. Regular walks and playtime in a safe yard or nearby park. In Client Homes (Visits/In-Home Care): Follow client instructions for gates, leashes, and home security. Check for hazards (e.g., open windows, toxic items) on arrival. • Communicate updates via text/photos. Adhere to schedules for feeding, meds, and walks. Respect client privacy and property. Environment: Maintain client’s setup (e.g., crate, bowls). Ensure a calm, clean space with fresh water and comfort items during visits. With 8 years of experience, I prioritize safety with vigilant monitoring, build trust through reliability and communication, and create a nurturing environment for all pups. Available evenings (6 PM-midnight) and weekends.
About: I have years of hands-on experience working with high-drive dogs of all sizes—from energetic Jack Russell Terriers to powerful working-line German Shepherds. I currently care for both breeds at home and have been around German Shepherds since I was young. I understand their unique needs, behaviors, and energy levels. What sets me apart is my confidence, calm approach, and ability to connect with dogs that require both physical and mental engagement. Whether it’s helping with basic obedience, providing structure for high-energy dogs, or offering patient care to senior pets, I treat every animal like family. I work full-time, but from Thursday to Saturday, I’m fully available and spend all day with my own dogs. During those days, I dedicate my time to providing exercise, enrichment, training, and care. Pet care is a big part of my lifestyle—I structure my days around my dogs' needs and enjoy helping others do the same for their pets. I'm committed, attentive, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. I maintain a calm, structured environment and always supervise interactions, especially with high-drive or energetic dogs. In my home, I keep spaces clean, secure, and dog-proofed to prevent accidents. When in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, respect their space, and keep them updated with photos and notes. I approach every pet with patience and confidence, ensuring they feel safe, understood, and cared for at all times. I have a fenced in backyard.

About: I’ve had a dog since I could remember. Every time I come across any other dogs they become so clingy and don’t leave my side. Dogs are an emotional support for me personally. I’m very gentle, caring , patient and a little too generous with treats I’m working full time as of right now. I Also will start early in the morning for feeding , play time and walks. I can also make the dogs as part of my weekly routine I have a large room for playing and zoomies. There is also nice parks around for walks. I don’t have a fence as of right now but it’ll be one soon
