About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up with two dogs and two cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve also pet sat for multiple friends and family members, caring for their pets while they were away and making sure they received plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! As a medical student, I spend a lot of my weekends relaxing at home, studying, and enjoying time outdoors—so your pet will have plenty of company! Dogs can expect lots of walks, outdoor playtime, and attention throughout the day. For cats who prefer a cozier weekend, I’m happy to provide plenty of attention and cuddles (if they want them!) and would love to have them as my study buddy. I’m also happy to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and individual needs to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime and exercise. I also have a friendly 8-month-old Golden Retriever who loves making new friends and having a playmate! If your pet prefers their own space or needs time to decompress, I’m happy to keep them separated as needed. Inside my home, I have a separate guest bedroom where your pet can have a quiet, comfortable space of their own. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine, personality, and comfort level to make their stay feel as safe and stress-free as possible.
“Mary was sooo great with babysitting Evee. She sent frequent pics and videos and Evee looked soo happy in every one of them. I would definitely book Mary again. She is soo kind and sweet. And she took AMAZING care of my little Evee. 💖💖”
“Charles did an amazing job taking care of Kenji. From daily updates and photos to ensuring Kenji had walks and playtime. Kenji got along well with Knox, who is a Dalmatian as well. Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
About: I’ve been a passionate dog lover and hands-on pet owner my entire life, with over 25+ years of practical experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Because I currently do not have any resident pets of my own, my home offers a quiet, stress-free environment where your dog gets my full, undivided love and attention! As a dedicated full-time host, your pet will enjoy constant supervision, structured routines, and plenty of individual care. I specialize in hosting crate-trained, spayed/neutered adult dogs who thrive in a calm, safe setting. For maximum safety, all guest dogs are accompanied on a secure leash during outdoor yard breaks. Whether relaxing indoors or enjoying individual play, I treat every guest dog with the exact same care and attention as my own! Because I provide full-time, in-home pet care, my daily schedule completely revolves around my guest dogs! My routine is structured around consistent check-ins, regular scheduled potty and stretch breaks, and supervised playtime. Because I am home all day, your dog will never be left unattended for long stretches. A Typical Day Includes: Morning: A bright start with an outdoor potty walk on a secure leash, fresh water, and breakfast served right in their designated feeding or crate spaces. Midday: Regular indoor playtime, companionship, and scheduled afternoon yard breaks. Evening: Dinner, a relaxing evening potty walk, and settling down for a quiet, restful night in their comfortable crate. Whether it’s a weekday or a busy weekend, my schedule is entirely flexible and focused on keeping your dog safe, happy, and on a comfortable routine! Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My 1,300 sq. ft. home provides a clean, calm, and welcoming environment tailored specifically for guest dogs. Here is how I care for guest pets in my home: Dedicated Crate & Rest Spaces: To ensure every dog feels secure and gets proper downtime, I require owners to bring their dog's familiar crate. Crates are kept in dedicated rest areas for quiet bedtimes, mealtime separation, and brief quiet periods. 100% Leash-Guided Yard Time: Safety comes first! My backyard has open sections, so all guest dogs are walked on a secure leash or long line for all potty breaks and stretch sessions. Your dog will never be left unsupervised outside. Zero Territorial Stress: Since I do not currently have any resident pets, your dog gets my full, undivided attention without any resident dog friction. Structured & Safe Supervision: With a strict limit of 3 to 4 guest dogs at a time, I keep group dynamics peaceful and stress-free. Dogs are fed separately in their own spaces to eliminate food tension, and I maintain regular updates and photos for owners throughout the stay. I treat every dog staying under my roof with the utmost care, respect, and family affection!
“Ashley is phenomenal. I almost don’t want to tell you about her because I want to keep her to myself! 😂 she’s hardworking, communicative, has a lot of knowledge about dogs and dog behavior and extremely flexible and understanding!!!”
“Michelle was super sweet and sent pics and videos the whole time our dog stayed with her. She had great communication and our dog did not want to leave. Her dog was so sweet too and they got along great.”
“Kelly was great. Our dog Maizey was a little nervous with new surroundings but you could tell Kelly is a true pet lover and Maizey felt secure and happy around her. Unfortunately our trip got cut short by a day but Kelly was flexible and was easy to communicate with. Would recommend her 100%.”
“Rachel took such good care of our little guy. Our dog needs meds 3 times per day with strict timing and she was awesome. I felt so at ease being gone and our Niko did so well in her care. We will definitely be using her again if she’ll have us.”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Shell Bluff home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Shell Bluff.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
