“I was a little nervous how my dog would be with a stranger, but Amber made him feel comfortable and even had excited to see her wanting to play! I will definitely be rebooking her again!”
“Katie was absolute perfection. Lena takes a long time to warm up to new people but she immediately attached herself to Katie. Katie was so patient and kind towards my dog and made me feel completely at ease. She took a multitude of pictures and updated me about how every visit went!”
“Karen is amazing. Played with my two cats, showed up on time. Followed instructions to a "T", and my girls really appreciated her company and care. Made going out of town easy and stress free. I'll definitely book again when I need cat care, I cannot stress how amazing of an experience this was!”
“Mandy was AMAZING!!! She was very flexible to come help us on short notice. She took our dog on great walks, and stayed over to play fetch with her. She also takes amazing photos! We will definitely be using Mandy again in the future”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.
“Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!”
“When I came home from my trip, my kitten was extremely relaxed and chill. Overall, i could definately tell she was stressed with me being gone, but also extremely comforted by having Meghan drop in! She was extemely normal, happy and elated when I got home. Would recommend Meghan if you want your pet to be in good hands.”
“Most excellent sitter. Engaging and involved! She was very communicative, punctual, and respectful. Our doggo’s loved her. I never worried about them while we were gone. We’ll be using her again.”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!”
“Alaina was so great to work with! She was always on time with her drop ins, took great care of the critters, and provided great updated (including some INCREDIBLE photos which made me smile every time)”
“Kaitlyn was amazing with my cat! She always came on time and sent me pictures of my cat. She was easy to communicate with and made me extremely comfortable knowing that my cat was in good hands. I will definitely be booking with her again soon.”
“Lindsey and Jose were amazing! I can't thank them enough for the way they took extra special care of our dogs. Their patience, communication, attention to detail, and willingness to go above and beyond were impressive. We are so grateful and appreciative of them. Being away from my dogs caused me anxiety; Lindsey absolutely took the time to make me feel at ease and provided a ton of updates and pictures. We are excited to have people we can trust with our dogs moving forward and look forward to booking them again....thanks Lindsey and Jose!!!”
About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.
“Rachel took great care of our 2 kitties! She played with the friendly one and found the shy one hiding! She even went the extra mile and untangled one of our cat's favorite toys that was horribly knotted. Would recommend her for your cats too!”
“Amazing pet sitter, very communicative and willing to go above and beyond to help in whatever way needed. Took great care of my two dogs and my mouse while I was away. Definitely the best sitter we could have chosen”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Carine and I’m super excited to help you with your pet! I’m currently a recent UGA graduate and I love spending time with animals! I’ve personally trained my own puppy to know all the basic commands and pass the STAR puppy test and she is currently working on becoming a therapy dog. I also have one cat that I love dearly. I’ve been handling dogs and cats my whole life and love working with them! I’m super used to working with all types of dogs and promise that by the end of their walk or my care they will be happy and ready for a nap:) I currently run a small business from out of my home so I’m flexible all day! Let me take care of your babies and work around your schedule :) I have a dog/cat friendly environment at home always treat my animals like the queens or king that they are! Your fur baby will leave being happy and healthy
About: I have been around animals all my life and known from a young age I wanted to work with them. Today, I'm enrolled in a veterinary degree, train dogs, and volunteer for my local Animal Welfare. I have a full-time overnight job, so my schedule is very flexible! Just like my rates! I will work with anyone on any budget. If you're sure you want me to care for your fur baby, just message me, regardless of the price you see. With over 13 years of pet care experience (half in dog training), I have plenty of extra dog items. I love puppies as much as seniors, so I'm prepared for every age. I also accept special needs.
About: Hi, I’m Maria! I’ve always been an animal lover and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have two cats myself (who I’m totally obsessed with), so I understand how important it is to leave your pets in good hands. Whether I’m going for a walk with your pup or keeping your cat company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I pay attention to the little things—every pet has their own personality, and I love getting to know what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Caring for cats is a daily routine for me, as I’m the proud owner of two feline companions. I delight in pampering them with treats and expressing my affection through play whenever there are toys at hand. I have two cats of my own who love being in my company, and I’ve frequently cared for my friends’ pets when they’re away. They affectionately refer to me as their pets’ honorary aunt.

Pamela M.
“I founded a the first beagle rescue in Jacksonville, where Pam quickly became my right hand in running the organization. She was an exceptional foster, often taking in some of our most challenging dogs and working with them patiently and effectively. Pam truly was the heart of our rescue efforts. Currently, I’m a Rover sitter myself for the past 8 years. Pam takes care of my own person dog and those of my personal pet sitting clients when I’m not available. You will not find a more responsible, caring and experienced person to trust with your pets and home.”

She’s also extremely responsible and kind, and one of the only people I trust to come to my house when I’m out of town. I have a cat who has a lot of anxiety and pretty much hates everyone but my husband and I, and she is always so patient and loving towards her when we go out of town. She even lets her pet her now which is a huge deal if you know my cat. She will love and care for your pets as her own! I hate leaving my fur baby, but she makes me feel much more at ease.”

He did an awesome job caring for my two dogs. I was nervous leaving my two behind with someone new, but he was great. I got great feedback after each day and felt very comfortable. He was very attentive in the directions I gave, responsive and friendly. I will be using him again for future needs.
Kaila is a terrific person - very nice, personable, and very good with Daisy. I had Kaila coming in because I had surgery and needed help with my dog's basic needs - feeding her, walking her, etc. Kaila gave it her very best. Daisy, my lab, pretty much didn't want to leave my side. I didn't realize she was too attached to me. Kaila did a great job & tried hard to get Daisy to play, walk, etc. I would highly recommend Kaila to anyone who needs dog care!!
Hampton is so wonderful! My (normally shy) cat trusts him and is totally comfortable with him which is such a treat and a testament to Hampton’s gentleness. Hampton is always so communicative and lovely and provides the best updates. He even goes so far as to tidy up litter box and take out trash, which I so appreciate! I will continue booking him as long as he’s able to!

Mallory is an amazing dog sitter! She took such great care of our old gal while we were away, providing plenty of love, attention, and updates. Mallory is an excellent communicator. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend Mallory to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
