“This was our second time boarding Arnie with Donald and it was so nice to see Arnie run right into the house & yard to play. I can tell they have a really good time together, and Arnie is always very happy.”

“Heather was amazing! She was able to take a last minute change which was a life saver. We loved all the updates and our dog was so content after staying with her and her kids”

“Anthony took great care of our energetic pup! She seemed so happy and well-loved when we picked her up, and it was clear that she had a fun time. She even looked a bit sad watching Anthony leave — a true sign that he’s a fantastic sitter. I really appreciated the way he cared for her like his own. Highly recommend!”

“Jonah put my mind at ease with sending me pictures. I was busy during my trip and I barely had to text her first! She was very helpful. I had to add an extra day and she was super understanding and was able to do it. I’m booking again for thanksgiving and was able to help me out with that! She’s the best! My dog barely misses me while I was away! He was well taken care of!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life, and got my first very own dog 15 years ago, an English bulldog named Zoey. We lost her to cancer last year, and now have our amazing boxer Abby, who just turned one year old! I have cared for friends’ dogs multiple times throughout the years, and have experience caring for dogs of various ages. We have had dogs stay for just one or two nights, up to 1-2 weeks at a time, so we are flexible in meeting your needs! I also have experience with giving medications as needed! After offering sitting via Facebook and word of mouth, I figured why not make it Rover official 🐶 As a stay at home mom to two little boys, ages 7 and 5 my schedule is very flexible! My husband Sy works in the oil field in Oklahoma and is home every two weeks. I am home most hours of the day, with the exception of day-to-day errands such as going to this grocery store, or kid drop off and pick ups for various appointments! I also substitute teach at my boys elementary school during the weeks when my husband is home from his work rotations! So basically, if I’m subbing he is home! I am available for boarding 7 days a week. We also feel that is it important to share that our youngest son, Max is non-verbal autistic. Max is the sweetest, quietest little boy who does extremely well with dogs who come into our home. And in all honesty, he is so indifferent and could care less lol 💕 he loves our Abby and just walks around dogs who have stayed with us. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, we are happy to answer 😊 We have a very large backyard that we are in the process of getting fenced in on August 1st! Until that time all friends are walked safely via leash in the backyard for potty breaks! Our dog Abby is very social and loves playing with other dogs! We strive to emulate as much of a “home away from home experience”, as possible and we will do our best to keep your dog on the same schedule they are accustomed to at home! Your dog will be snuggled and loved as if they were a member of our own family! I have a spare crate if your dog is crate trained, as well as a cozy room with extra dog beds if they do best tucked in to a quiet space when we are out of the home. Your dog is welcome to hang out on the couch or on a bed! We are here for all the snuggles! If you prefer them to sleep in a crate, that’s what we will do! I so look forward to snuggling your fur baby and giving them a “home away from home” experience.

“Alexis was great with both of our dogs (10lbs & 80lbs). She even took them to the dog park! Alexis was also available on super short notice which was a lifesaver!”

“We will definitely use Brandi again! My dog stayed with her for 4 days and had many adventures and lots of play time with her dogs! Brandi made sure to keep us updated about anything important and shared many pictures with us. Our dog was even given a bath before we picked her up! We’re happy to have found a reliable pet sitter! Highly recommend!”

Joliana N.

“Kimmey is absolutely amazing! I was nervous with this being my first time away from my dog, but Kimmey made it easy to enjoy my time away with family knowing that my dog was receiving the best care. She frequently sent updates on how my dog was doing and took care to pay attention to my dog's individual enrichment interests and needs. My dog had a blast and she misses Kimmey and her wonderful family already! I highly recommend booking with her!”

“Rebecca is an amazing sitter. I went out of town for 2 days and was really worried about leaving my dogs with someone. I had absolutely nothing to worry about when leaving my dogs with her. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates, along with having great communication about any issues. I have to go out of town again in the next few months and I plan to book with her again, if possible. Can’t recommend her enough.”

About: I have worked as a professional dog trainer most of my adult life. I love the time I spend with my own dogs and have been thankful I have been able to make a living working and training different breeds. Rarely are both my wife and I off of our property at the same time. We are able to customize your dog's care to make their time at our farm enjoyable. I am offering farm style boarding for your dogs. Our kennel has inside houses and large outside runs. Our farm is 20 fenced acres. I exercise and work with my own dogs every afternoon. Your dogs would be boarded in a safe environment with plenty of opportunity for enrichment through walks or pond time. My home is on the same property as our kennel. Extended pick up and drop off times are available.

“My dog Stella always enjoys her time with Lindsey and her family! Lindsey follows care instructions perfectly, always keeps us updated, and makes sure Stella is safe and comfortable! We wouldn’t hesitate to let Lindsey care for Stella anytime!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, from playful puppies to seniors needing extra attention. One life experience that truly sets me apart is caring for my own dog who has frequent seizures. Through that, I learned how to stay calm in urgent situations, follow a care plan precisely, and provide comfort and reassurance when a dog is scared or disoriented. This experience has given me the skills and confidence to handle special medical needs with patience, compassion, and reliability. I’m currently a sophomore at Auburn, and my class schedule is Monday–Thursday from 8–9:50 a.m. and Monday–Wednesday from 12:30–1:50 p.m. Outside of those times, I’m completely free and can be flexible to whatever a customer needs. Pet care easily fits into my daily and weekly routine because I have large blocks of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins, as well as evenings and weekends open for longer stays or overnight care." Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest, so they feel at ease even when their owner is away. I give plenty of attention and affection, keep water bowls full, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise. If a pet has special needs, like medication or medical conditions, I follow instructions carefully and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Our dogs were in good hands! We hope to use Cody again!”

“Taylor was fantastic and sent lots of photos! We picked Mae up worn out and happy! She loved playing with Taylor’s dog Madi. We will use her again!”

Claire M.

“This was my first time using Rover and Kelly. She was very communicative throughout the process and did a great job warming our Shelby to her house and her own pup. I felt like she treated Shelby like she was one of her own. I liked getting pic and video updates as well. Would definitely use her again.”

Jason O.

“This was my first experience using Rover. Could not have asked for a better caregiver for my "old man" dog, Buck. He's 13 and I have gotten a little reluctant to board him in a usual noisy boarding situation. Carlyn's home is inviting and very dog-friendly. And her pup, Max, is almost as cute as my dog! :) I would not hesitate to book with her again (and plan to do so.) She sends daily updates and pics so you know everything is going well. If I could give her more that 5 stars I would.”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a young child. I did however have my own non profit dog and cat rescue in ATL for 15 years and continued my work in California. I am well versed in giving medication including shots. I have continued fostering since I moved to Auburn, but currently have a kitty from a local shelter and now, my own dog. I have also successfully trained puppies and dogs in potty training and obedience training throughout the years. I am retired so I have plenty of time to dote on your pets. I am mature, quiet, and responsible. I would love to take care of your cats or dogs in your own home, or even here! I currently am offering in home pet sitting for cats and dog friendly dogs. I am quiet, mature, and respectful of your privacy and property.

“Wow, I would highly recommend Carter J for boarding your beloved pups! For a first time boarder, Carter went above and beyond to send pictures and give me updates. He allowed my homemade food for daily feedings, even though I know this took extra steps. My two pup had plenty of exercise and love. They are home now resting after their adventures! Thank you again, and if ever need a place at Lake Martin for your pets to stay and play please use Carter J.”
