“Elizabeth was great! She bravely ca.e and cared for my 5 dogs who had never had a pet sitter before. She checked in promptly at the designated times and reported what the dogs did while she was there. She was wonderful and I am grateful that I have someone I can trust with my dogs. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth for anyone needing a pet sitter.”

As an experienced and passionate pet sitter, I offer personalized attention, ensuring your furry, feathered, or scaled family members feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and make them feel at home! I'm available for boarding on weekends. I have a fenced yard and playground for your pup, and a special pet room with Dog TV for relaxation. Two friendly dogs are available to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“Luciana was awesome! She was able to help me out on short notice, sent me plenty of pictures, and followed all my directions. Would definitely recommend her, and will book her again in the future.”

About: I’ve had and cared for my own dogs since a very young age. I’ve also undergone training and volunteered as a canine companion at the Athens Area Humane Society! I also have experience caring for my family members pets. I’m currently applying for graduate schools and applying for jobs in my field so my schedule is super flexible and I can provide services whenever needed! I offer lots of love and attention to pets and make sure theyre given everything they need!! Im happy to go on walks or play outside as well.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a little girl. Growing up, animals were always a part of my life, and dogs have held a special place in my heart. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of hands-on experience—whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after them, or simply giving them love and attention. Friends and neighbors have seen how much I care for animals, and they trust me to look after their dogs whenever they go out of town. I’ve had the joy of dog-sitting many times, always making sure each pup feels safe, well-cared-for, and loved. I treat every dog like they’re my own, because I know how much they mean to their family. Although I work a part-time job, I make sure to dedicate plenty of quality time to care for my fur babies each day. Before heading to work, I take my dogs for a walk, ensure they’re well-fed, and that they have fresh water and everything they need to feel comfortable while I’m away. When I return home, one of our favorite routines is heading to the dog park. It gives us time to bond, play, and unwind together. Caring for my dogs isn’t just a responsibility—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every single day. Dog and cat owners can trust me because I care for every pet with the same love and dedication I give to my own. With years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand their unique needs—whether it’s daily walks and playtime for dogs or quiet companionship and gentle care for cats. Despite working part-time, I prioritize spending quality time with my fur babies, making sure they’re fed, hydrated, exercised, and emotionally supported. This commitment extends to every pet I care for, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to care for their furry family members, confident that I treat each pet like my own. You can trust that your dogs and cats will receive responsible, compassionate care in my hands.

“Kaitlyn is a wonderful sitter. If you want someone dependable trustworthy contact Kaitlyn. She looked and saw what we needed for a sitter. She did exactly as contracted and she went above to take car of our fur baby”

About: I’ve been taking care of my brother’s dogs for over 4 years, handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight stays. I also helped care for my mom’s friend’s dog when I was younger, which taught me early on how to be responsible and patient with pets. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I can always make time when I’m committed to taking care of pets. Whether it’s daily visits or extended stays, I’m flexible and reliable. Once I’ve made a commitment, your pet becomes a top priority in my routine — I make sure they get the care, attention, and love they deserve. In my home, pets have access to a safe, fenced yard where they can play and get fresh air. Inside, they’ll have a cozy, clean space to relax with plenty of attention and love. I follow any specific feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide to keep their routine consistent. In a client’s home, I respect their space and make sure their pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own environment — just like you would.

I have two fur babies of my own that I have been responsible for since I was 12. I also have been taking care of guinea pigs since I was 14. I am recently graduated from high school and very responsible. You can count on me for the best pet care! I am free most of the time and school has just ended. If you need pet care at all for the summer, I’m your girl! I take care of my own pups every day and I have a really clear schedule since school is out! I care for pets by playing and loving them unconditionally! Anything you want I can do! I love taking them on walks and I can easily crate if needed.

“I would highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for someone to care for animals. She was everything I needed!!!

Earned their trust and gave treats etc. she had arranged a meet and greet ahead of time so I left town with zero worries!!!”

About: We love dogs at this house! When we visit friends that have dogs, they usually end up hanging out by us. One of the dogs we watch several times a year is so excited to stay with us that when we visit her family she always tries to leave with us. When she first started staying with us, she wouldn't eat, but now every time she stays they have to send a little more food. She feels like family to us! We stopped watching dogs for a few years after covid. We both got jobs out of the house and we didn't want to take it dogs to leave them locked up all day. Now we are back working from home, so we are ready for your dogs to come hang out with us! We also moved and wanted to make sure our dogs were comfortable with our new house. We no longer have the pool you see in the photos. We are cool with spur of the moment, "let's go on vacation tomorrow" bookings. Your dog will love it here and we can't wait to meet them! We work from home, so on most days, we will be there all day. We do have errands here and there. Most times your dog will not be left alone for more than 4 hours. We have a completely fenced in yard and two friendly labrador dogs that are eager to play. They are also cool with being lazy and laying around.

“Jennifer is great. She is very personable, has pets and cared for my cat as her own. In my case, she came twice a day and provided him all his needs. She is very detailed in her reports and provided plenty of pictures and made my experience away from home stress free concerning my aging kitty.”


About: With 9 years of experience caring for my fur babies as well as other pets, I'm eager to apply my experience and love to other animals. Passionate college student with 9 years of experience providing dedicated pet care. Every pet receives the same love, care, and attention that is given to my dog Blue. The dogs' needs are addressed first by letting them out to potty. Next, harnesses are securely attached for walks. Finally, the specified amount of food is provided. Lots of love and attention are also given to ensure their comfort.


“Victoria has been a tremendous help with my best buddy Onyx. She has taken great care of him, she’s been really responsive anytime I’ve messaged her, and she’s gone out of her way to help me. I’m very grateful to have her as onyx’s dog sitter!! She’s the best!!”


“Very knowledgeable, caring, and reliable. Maintained constant communication with us.”


About: I have a diverse and lengthy history of taking care of animals. Over the years, I have lived with and taken care of 10 dogs, 3 birds, 4 cats, 4 sheep, 3 goats, and 1 donkey (not all at once of course)! I’m all available at all times, every day during the summer (June-Mid August 2025) until college starts in the fall! My daily routine is very flexible to best fit your pet’s needs! I do just about everything in regards to care with my pets! This includes feeding, bathing, grooming, nail clipping, giving proper medication, and lots of other things.

About: I love to spend my time outside, and I’ve had my fair share of living with a Great Dane bestie who never failed to be right there alongside me! I work full time Monday-Thursday, with Thursdays being a half day. Weekends are a great opportunity to have my full focus on caring for your pet pals. I am easy going and fairly quick to respond when I’m off. I would love to take your pet on little adventures to the park to play around or even just a walk down the block. I live in an apartment so I don’t have much range at home but I am more than willing to take your pal alongside me for a nice hike on new terrain!

“Candace is absolutely awesome. The dogs love having her over and play as if she’s one of their other mommies. She’s been a lifesaver when last minute. I recommend in a heartbeat. 💯”

“A Truly Wonderful Pet Caregiver! Julian is an absolute gem! We couldn't have asked for a more responsible and loving caregiver for our pets while we were away. From the moment we first spoke, we felt completely at ease. Julian not only provided exceptional care, but he also made our trip so much smoother by picking our pets up directly from our house and bringing them back home right when we returned. It was such a convenience and made our travel stress-free. Our furry family members were clearly happy and well-cared for, and we received regular updates that put our minds at ease.

Joshua dog parents share their Rover experiences
Love this couple! They take care of my dog like he is theirs. I trust them so much! I’ll never switch!

Laura was wonderful! She cared for our dogs like her own. She is a great caregiver and very kind. Our dachshunds got along with hers and she sent several updates. I would recommend her any day. If you want your pups to come home healthy and happy she’s the perfect sitter. Thanks for taking such good care of our pups again!

Monica and Billy came over to offer a potty break and visit with our 4 Dachshunds. We are so happy with their care! They were so kind, calm, caring, and attentive. Which is just what our fur kids needed. Our dogs usually are so barky that (in my opinion) they must seem a bit off putting to doggy sitters. But Monica's and Billy's calm demeanor and experience was just what our dogs needed. This is a huge relief and weight off of me to find a sitter so great. Highly recommend.
