“Outstanding Sitter: So grateful to have found Ray. He took such good care of my Frenchie, including making sure he got his daily medications for his eye. When I picked him up, he looked so happy and content that I knew he enjoyed his stay with Ray and the other small boarding dogs. If you need a sitter in the future, I will highly recommend Ray as a first choice. I will be using Ray for all my future sitting needs!”

“Kyrie has been doing a great job with my Brandi girl. This is her first time away with someone other than family members and she settled in really well with him. He has been extremely helpful to ease our parental worries too, along with giving tips about her harness and walking so she doesn't pull as much. He is calm and soft spoken which I feel really is comforting to her as well.”

“Kanan has a new auntie and uncle for sure! LaDonna and her husband Andy are the best. They are the perfect kind of people who you can trust to look after your babies. They made sure Kanan was attended to and made to feel like he was a member of the family. I enjoyed receiving reassurances through pictures and texts that Kanan was adapting and doing well. No more looking for me when I need sitters in the future. I hit the jackpot on the first time using Rover. I feel so blessed for me and Kanan!”

About: I’ve grown up with lots of dogs including different breeds & different sizes so I can handle them all. I can give them the attention & fulfillment that they need. I promise to provide the best care for your pet & will make their experience as enjoyable as possible! I am currently in online school for college. I spend 90% of my time at home with my own animals. I have more than enough time to care for others! I have a large back yard with plenty of space for them to run & play. I also live in a quiet neighborhood suitable for peaceful walks. I also have a kitty pool for pups who enjoy to swim. There are endless options of fun for different dogs with different wants. I also have 3 dogs who would greatly appreciate the company. I have a lazy Dachshund who lays on the couch most of the day along with an older Shih Tzu who enjoys spending her day laying in her bed with a pile of food, and lastly I have a Goldendoodle who loves to play fetch, go swimming, and cuddle.
“Kathy steeped in at the last minute to take care of my old sweet pup who gets a little nervous in new situations. She was super caring and flexible and took great care of our sweet pup!”

“Bryan is very friendly, prompt and professional. He loved on our Luna and she loved on playing with his pack. If you want your dog socialising time with other dogs and a friendly sitter we reccommend Bryan and his pack. Dex n jenna.”
“This was my second time using rover and my German Shepherd had a great time. I appreciate all the updates and the level of care Ms. Shaniece provided. Sometimes I get nervous with leaving Zeke because he’s so big, energetic and at times requires a lot of attention, however, could tell once I picked him up he was in good hands.”

“Lindsey was great, friendly, responsive to messages, sent pictures of my dog to ease my mind as this was our first time leaving her with a sitter. Would gladly book with her again.”

“Our two pups loved spending time with Savanna and her family! It was so nice to be able to get away and not have to worry if they were ok, Savannah sent daily updates and pics which made our day!! Also we appreciated her quick response time! 1000/10 would recommend Savanna to anyone!!!”

“Valerie and her family took excellent care of our fur baby, Yuriorkis. They were so flexible with our drop off and pick up times as we came from out of town. Will definitely contact Valerie if we are back in Georgia.”

“Dana and Brandon were great. Clean and welcoming environment. Kinda felt like dropping our fur-kid off at a friends house for the weekend. They stayed in touch with us and sent updates and pics. We will definitely be calling on them in the future and recommending them to our friends.”

“Highly recommend! Book with her asap!! Beau has the best time always and I get so many updates I don’t stress at all!! Beau is always happy to be there too and loves Bear!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life! I’m experienced with cats (including neonatal kittens), dogs, amphibians, reptiles, rodents, lagomorphs, arthropods and freshwater fish. Whether your dog is high energy or a couch potato, I am happy and able to meet their unique needs! I’m a full time stay at home mom to two dogs, a hamster, a blue tongue skink and even a human child. I am always available to tend to your pets needs. I can accommodate any requests surrounding caring for your pet in your home. If you’d prefer to bring them to me, they will be given around the clock care and attention with frequent updates. If your pet is not dog-friendly, they will be kept in their own separate room away from my dogs. If they are dog friendly, they are welcome to play with the whole family!
“Jala was the absolute best sitter ever. This was my first time using Rover and she was amazing. She kept me updated about Coco and his activity. She communicated very easily. I will definitely use her again.”


“Geri is very kind and sweet. Not everyone can handle taking care of a 4 month old puppy, yet she handled it like a pro. (for 5 days!!) Bonus, both her and my baby Luke enjoyed it very much! ? I highly recommend Geri!”

“First time using Rover and we were so happy to have found Jasmine and Jennifer. Great coordination prior to drop off, very easy to get to house, kept in touch with us, sent pics, smooth pick up, and full run down of events during the stay. Most importantly, our pup had a great visit and we know they took great care of her. Very happy with our experience and highly recommend them!”


“Whoopie had a great time with Reanna and her family. I was updated frequently with pictures and status of the stay. Reanna was very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend Reanna to anyone needing top notch care for their pet.”

“Alexander was a lifesaver when I had to go out of town short notice. He was quick to respond, and didn’t hesitate to watch her. He greeted her with a treat and followed my rules that I have instilled at my house with Honey. I would most definitely use him again in the future. Thank you, again!”
