“Heather was fantastic with my pups and my home. She took care of my fur pups especially my senior pup with patience and understanding. I was able to relax knowing they were safe and cared for. I will use Heather again in the future and highly recommend her for sitting.”


“John was amazing! Came through on short notice when my first sitter had to cancel and took great care of my dog and cat. Sent pics every day and was a great communicator! I felt my animals were safe and well cared for. I will definitely hire John again in the future!”


“My dog is so shy around new people, especially in our home so I was so worried. Laquan came to the house and met up with us multiple times before my trip to help get her used to being around a new person. By the time we went on our trip and came back to town, she had gotten so comfortable with him. We’re so grateful for all his help, patience and understanding! We could tell she was taken care of well while we were gone!”


“Kimber was so sweet to our girl, Knoxx! She was always quick to respond to any messages we sent and wanted to make sure that our dog was well taken care of! She sent several pictures and even treated her to a nice long walk at the park! We cannot thank her enough!”


About: Growing up with a dog, cat, and even reptiles, I gained about 12 years of hands on experience, fostering deep compassion and patience to provide attentive, loving care for all kinds of pets. I’m currently attending a local school only 3 days a week for only 2 hours a day, I am available anytime other than those hours. I care for your pets in your home by providing personalized attention, feeding, playtime, medication administration if needed, and ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment.

“We all loved Jana! My husband and I felt a sense of peace knowing our boy was in great hands the whole time we were away. We would highly recommend her and will be booking again.”



“This past week was the first time I have left my 2 labs overnight and was a bit nervous. Marina not only met my girls ahead of her scheduled time, she went way above my expectations. My labs loved her and I will definitely be using her again. She made my being gone very easy.”


About: I’ve worked on farms and worked with multiple animal types from dogs to goats. I’m accustomed to schedule planning and checking everything off each day and night. I am open in the afternoons and early in the mornings. I am quite flexible as long as I have prior notice. I also only work Sunday - Wednesday at my full time job ! I have a very relaxed home as I have my own puppy and she has full ranged of the entire house. She is fixed and potty trained. I do have a yard, and it is fenced in!

“We booked Meredith to house sit and be with our 2 puppies for 7 days. This was our first time using a Rover and even leaving our pups to someone who wasn't their grandparents. Luckily, Meredith was very quick to respond to all messages sent even before we went on the trip. We had a couple of meet and greets prior to the trip which helped the pups get used to her. She sent us photos of Sophie and Scruff daily! We will definitely book her again. Thank you Meredith.”

“Luis was wonderful. She set up the meeting before hand and I had to reschedule and she was very accommodating. She communicated with us the entire time we were out of town and she was able to give our puppy his medication while we were gone. We were so relieved to find an animal lover like her. I will definitely be using her again!”

We look forward to working with you again!!”


“Alicia was the best sitter I could have asked for. She took the best care of my dog one could ask for. My dog was drawn to her instantly and didn't leave her side when she was watching him. I couldn't be happier with her service.”


“Easy to communicate with and loves animals so much! Loved that she gave our boy love and snuggles our boy needed! Thank you for keeping us informed every step of the way!”

About: With experience caring for over 20 furry friends, both cats and dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know a wide range of personalities and needs.

Whether it’s keeping high-energy dogs active and engaged or creating a calm, comforting space for quieter companions, I focus on what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m also experienced in administering medications, so I’m comfortable supporting pets with special medical needs. Every pet I care for helps deepen my love for animals and strengthens the personalized care I provide. I currently work full time as a USAF active duty military member at Tyndall AFB.

Amy S.
“Amy is my wife. When I married her 20 years ago, she let me know we would never be without pets in our marriage. While this has been true, I’ve been surprised by the animals that have showed up in our house. While working as a vet tech in GA, Amy brought home newborn opossums to try to get to live after they were abandoned by their mother.. She’s brought home a kitten that was smaller than my thumb. We had a dog have puppies and Amy gave a stillborn puppy mouth to mouth. To say Amy is a wonderful and loving caregiver is an understatement. Amy has over 26 years of experience as a vet tech. She takes care of our menagerie and I know she would treat your pets like her own.”


Jasiel M.
“We couldn't have asked for better care for our dog than what Jasiel provided. He treated my German Shephard Dante like family, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind while we were away. Dante is excited to see him every time! Highly recommended!”
