“Melissa went above and beyond!! When our little dog needed to get to the vet unexpectedly, Melissa got him there! Kind heart, great care and very conscientious!! Thank you Melissa!!”
About: Even as a kid I was taking care and spending time with my elderly dog Rusty, so dog care comes naturally to me. I will always stay with your pet and make sure they are always happy, fed, and full of love! Currently all I have on my plate is college classes. I have class Mon/Wed 5:00pm-7:30pm and Tues/Thurs 11:00am - 1:30pm. Other than that I am free to help you however I can 💕 I will always be attentive and aware to your pets needs and ensure they will never feel neglected and are given the love and care they more than deserve!
About: I grew up with a big animal-loving family. I currently care for 2 dogs of my own who I love with my who heart. Growing up, I took advantage of volunteer opportunities and small pet-sitting gigs whenever I got the chance. I love animals and I would love to make your pet feel happy and healthy! I am a graduate student currently with a very flexible schedule to do some pet care on the side. I tend to need breaks in between course loads and study sessions so taking care of your pet will be the perfect time away! I have 2 friends dogs to keep your pet company during any boarding visits as well as easy access to nearby parks and dog parks if that is something you are interested in! I love to explore so I am also happy to walk dogs in your neighborhood or play with them in your back yard!
“Cassandra was fabulous with our little pup! She was kind, responsive, and took great pictures and submitted fabulous updates! We look forward to having her as our go to sitter and would highly recommend her!”
“Whitney is amazing! She always takes extra time to make Leo feel extra loved while we’re not home. She checks in with her plans, is always on time and sends extremely cute pics.”
About: I have over 10 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. I am comfortable and familiar with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breed due to my time working at a doggy daycare. I grew up around all kinds of animals, and currently have two cats of my own and regularly watch my sisters Great Pyrenees. I know that your pets are important and beloved members of your family, so I promise they will be safe and well taken care of when in my care
“We are so pleased with Arden. She met us for a meet and greet first and Mia loved her ! It was love at first sight. Mia loves the tv on and Arden even made sure it was on during our time away . She went above and beyond for our sweet girl . I felt so comfortable having her care for Mia and I have never left her before this. We look forward to having Arden again for our next time away ! Thank you Arden !!!!”
“Emily is the best. We have 3 and one is a super senior who needed three types of eye meds and all have food toppers! The updates were awesome and everyone looked happy and were all happy and healthy when we got back!”
About: While I have four cats, I regularly pet sit for friends' doggos. I love walking (or running if that's something your dog enjoys), and I have experience with pets that need extra care (medication, vet visits, etc). I'm an amateur photographer, so I'll always provide Insta-ready photo updates on your pets. I am a remote worker with flexible hours, so I'm able to accommodate most schedules. I can provide overnight care for pets, but I may need to stop by and visit my own kitties for multi-day requests. I'll bring toys and treats if requested, and I'll provide plenty of playtime for your pets. My car is pet-friendly, so trips to local parks (Forsyth, Daffin, Lake Mayer) are always on the table.
About: Hi, I’m Toccara! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and can’t imagine a home without them. I’ve cared for pets of all kinds like dogs, cats, birds, bunnies. I have officially been pet sitting since I was 16 and have also been working at a dog daycare for the past four months, where gained lots of experience with pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am currently working part-time at my job. On days that I am off from work I usually have a very open schedule past 10am and can always make discussion on what you prefer!! When caring for pets in my home I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their usual routines with feeding, walks, and playtime, and I pay attention to their individual needs and personalities. I treat every dog like they’re my own, giving them plenty of affection and care. I am gentle, patient, and attentive and have especially learned these things from working with dogs. and would never do anything to harm an animal. Working at a dog daycare also helped me learn about different sickness and what to look out for dogs when something isn’t right or if they need medical attention.
About: I have owned dogs ever since I was very little. For the last three years I have been dog sitting for friends and family. I love taking care of and playing with dogs! I really enjoy on walks and running outside with the dogs. When taking care of other people’s dogs I am very organized and I do everything I can do make sure the dogs are happy and healthy! I love spending time with dogs and making sure they are safe. I am a very responsible college student looking for another source of income to help pay for school and for spending. I am currently on break from school at VCU where I am studying History. I can not wait to meet you and your dogs! I am a graduate student at SCAD studying Art History. My schedule for this quarter is mostly online, which will allow me to spend time with your pet, even if I have work I need to get done. I live in downtown Savannah, and have a reliable source of transportation. I live in a safe neighborhood which I am comfortable walking around with your pet. There is easy access to the outdoors. No fence, so the pet will need a leash for potty time.
About: Hi there! I’m Lindsay - lifelong dog lover, professional cuddler, and proud parent to one very beloved Border Terrier (and three wonderful human boys!). I grew up with dogs, and after graduating from Stanford, I spent years in California dogsitting alongside my corporate career. These days, I call Savannah home, where my partner and I both work remotely full-time, meaning your pup will have company, care, and cuddles all day long. Our home is calm, cozy, and full of dog-obsessed-love (and yes, dog decor and family photos to prove it!). We have a large fenced-in backyard perfect for fetch, zoomies, or a good sunbathing snooze. My own dog is the ultimate “velcro dog,” so I understand how important attention, snuggles, and routine are for your pup’s happiness. We use Rover ourselves when we travel, so I know firsthand how much peace of mind comes from knowing your pup is in good hands. I send frequent photo updates (because I love a good pup photoshoot!) and know how much it means to see that happy, tail-wagging face while you’re away. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family because that’s exactly how we see them ❤️ Both my partner and I work remotely full-time, so your pup will have company and attention throughout the day. In the evenings, we’re often out at our kids’ sports or activities, so there may be a short 1–2 hour stretch here or there where the dogs are home relaxing (depending on the season). Otherwise, we’re pretty much here and ready for cuddles 24/7! Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard for safe play and frequent potty breaks. Inside, dogs have free roam of our cozy, lived-in home, complete with comfy couches, soft beds, and plenty of snuggle spots. I take introductions slowly to make sure every pup feels at ease, and I closely supervise all playtime. Because my partner and I both work from home, someone’s almost always here to keep an eye (and ear!) out. You can expect regular updates and photos so you always know your furry family member is safe, happy, and loved. ❤️
“Blanca made my first time using Rover a wonderful experience. My dog loved her from the start and getting her updates took all my fears away. I highly recommend her to look after your fur child!”

Jessie was such a pleasure!!! I came to Savannah for a weekend getaway with my parents and needed a dog walker. She did a meet and greet with us and then took my dogs for a walk the next day and gave me a thorough review on them. Such a sweet lady and I could tell she loved my dogs as if they were her own.
Shawn was great! My Dorkie loves everyone but my Goldendoodle can be a little skittish. Shawn worked with me to come meet her before hand so she had met him to hopefully feel more comfortable as we were going on vacation. Shawn took the time and we really appreciate it! Would recommend and will rehire in the future!
We are so pleased with Arden. She met us for a meet and greet first and Mia loved her ! It was love at first sight. Mia loves the tv on and Arden even made sure it was on during our time away . She went above and beyond for our sweet girl . I felt so comfortable having her care for Mia and I have never left her before this. We look forward to having Arden again for our next time away ! Thank you Arden !!!!
Tess was the most help with walking my dogs! She was easy to schedule a walk through with and super accomodating to schedule. She was super sweet to the dogs and took them on a long walk with great pictures! I will continue asking for her help whenever it is needed. Thanks again!

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
