As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!

Ally was great! We’re glad we were able to have her stay at our house with our 3 big pups so they wouldn’t be anxious about being out of their environment while we we out of town

Megan is the best! Not only is she warm and wonderful with the dogs (one pooch kept looking for her throughout our first night back!) but also she is responsible, communicative, and sent photos while we were away for 8 days…and how really nice to come home and find everything clean and tidy. Of course, we missed our pooches but were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were in Megan’s conscientious care. Clearly, Megan is our first choice for future bookings!

About: I have been around animals my whole life and I love them! I have a 4 year old kitty named Bunny and she is everything to me. My best friend has a mini Australian shepherd that is very friendly and I love being around him. I also have watched my brother and sister in law’s dogs for 2 years now. They ranged from having 4-8 dogs at different points and I would love to go stay with them, feed them, and get to play with their fluffy selves! I am working limited hours at this time, so I am available weekdays 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. and 5:45 p.m.- 9 p.m., and also weekends any time! I will monitor the animals needs and be there in any way I am needed. I will take them outside as much as directed, feed them, make sure they have water, and love on them!

Olivia followed all instructions and took amazing care of my cat. We had a longer stay, and she and Garfi became very close. She communicated well with us throughout and even looked after our house while we were away. We will definitely book her again!

Hannah was so great! It was our dogs’ second time at home with a sitter, and they seemed to love her, they even slept with her! She was very communicative, and adapted well to the fact that one of our dogs likes to escape the invisible fence occasionally. She made sure to keep a close eye on him and prevent him from trying again. She loves animals and was respectful of our home and very clean. We will definitely use Hannah again.

About: Hey! I’m Savannah! I’m 19 years old, I just graduated from esthetician school and now working as a solo esthetician in athens. From birth I’ve always been surrounded by dogs from Dobermans to Pomeranians. I’ve always had a huge heart for animals, especially dogs, and I’d love to help care for yours while you’re away. I have recently gotten three kittens and have fallen in love with cats now. As someone trained in both skincare and healthcare, (from lifeguarding growing up) I know how important it is to be detail oriented, compassionate, and trustworthy. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving your pup extra snuggles, or going on energy burning walks, I’m committed to giving your fur baby the love and attention they deserve. Let me know your animals needs, routines, quirks, and I’ll take care of them like they’re my own. Can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Let’s set up a meet and greet! I’d love to get to know you and your fur baby! I’m currently working part-time as a licensed esthetician but have plenty of time to work around any days you would need! I would be available mostly during the week and holidays! When pets stay with me, they become part of the family! I create a calm, cozy, and pet safe environment where they can feel comfortable, loved, and secure. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to their pace and needs.

About: I have worked with a number of different sizes and ages of dogs. I also love to play with them and take them of walks so they get the exercise they need! I am currently a student that has class a couple days a week and not during the whole day. So I will be available majority of the day to either stop by and let a dog out during the day or evening. Also, I am available to watch overnight and have a lot of experience doing so! I am not offering in home care because I live in an apartment and I don’t think it would be the best fit for most dogs!

About: I have raised all 4 of my dogs since they were puppies and am proficient in potty training. I have house sat for my bosses and dog sat for friends and my bosses for years. I have also worked with many breeds of all ages and behaviors at a Veterinary Hospital and an adoption shelter. Currently, I am a vet school student at UGA and have classes for most of the day. I am able to leave during lunch to let them out and can stay over after class or come over before class to play and let them out. In my client's home, I am prepared to offer treats, extensive play time, and well-deserved attention inside the house. If the time comes, I am able to provide quick services if there is an emergency at any point.

About: I've worked a family farm since I was 8 years old. I have experience with all sorts of critters. Oh and I ain't scared of spiders or snakes if that suits your fancy! Im currently between jobs and hoping to get a part time so I can still do this. But I have a lot of time on my hands so I'd love to spend it pet sitting little fluff balls. I appreciate the trust to allow me to take care of your babies. Let alone let me in your house! Again thank you so much for the opportunity.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I’m comfortable handling large and small breeds, and I have experience with medical needs like giving medications and caring for dogs that use diapers. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment while sticking to your dog’s routine, and I treat every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a full-time student, so my availability is structured but consistent most of the time. I’m usually available Monday through Thursday from 4pm–11pm, Fridays from noon–11pm, and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. During those times, I’m focused on providing attentive, reliable care for your pet and sticking closely to your pet’s normal routine whether that’s playing outside or chilling inside! I’m unable to host your pets in my own space, but when caring for pets in your home I’ll treat it with the same respect, cleanliness, and responsibility as if it were my own. I focus on keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment, maintaining routines, and leaving your home tidy and well cared for.

About: I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, and I love getting to know each one’s unique energy, quirks, and comfort needs. Whether your companion is furry, feathered, or scaled, I’m here to create a calm, nurturing experience that feels safe and familiar to them. I can help with enrichment, feeding routines, fresh water, habitat tidying, basic upkeep, gentle handling, and comfort time—whether that’s play, soft interaction, or simply sharing space with a shy sweetheart who likes to observe. I always follow your pet’s needs and personality first. Your companion’s routine, comfort, and sense of security mean everything to me. Even when you’re away, my goal is to keep their world feeling steady, loved, and peaceful. I currently work a full-time job Monday–Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m very flexible outside of those hours. I can come straight to your home after work (including travel time), and I’m available for evening visits, overnight stays, or extended care through the next morning depending on your pet’s needs. Right now, I’m fully available on Weekends and after work hours throughout the week. I can offer longer stays, dog park trips, nature walks, or extra playtime on weekends. Whatever works best for you guys!! My goal is to work around your schedule—whether you need quick drop-ins, evening companionship, or overnight comfort for your pet. Just let me know what you’re looking for, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. I treat your home—and your pet’s space—as a sacred, peaceful place. My role is to maintain the same comfort, calm, and routine your companion feels when you’re there. With a simple list of their daily habits or schedule, I’ll follow everything exactly as you prefer. While I’m in your home, I’m purely a guest in your and your pet’s space. I respect your boundaries, keep things tidy, and leave everything just as I found it—if not a little fresher. My goal is to preserve the warmth and rhythm your pet relies on until their favorite person returns.

Mallory was very friendly, and my cats loved her. She took great care of our house while we were gone and brought in packages that arrived. She sent photos and videos of the kitties, and she was easy to communicate with. I will definitely ask her to petsit again.

About: I grew up with all kinds of family pets- from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles. I love animals of all kinds and believe each individual is different. I have always been a huge dog lover and sadly had to recently say goodbye to my best friend Bruno. Definitely eager to get to spend time with doggos again since I am not ready to adopt again quite yet. I am a recent graduate of the University of Georgia, and just earned my PhD in Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Sciences. Currently perusing remote scientific consulting, so I am currently home a lot with a very flexible schedule. I am happy to welcome pets (cat friendly) into my home, or travel to client’s homes for pet care. I have reliable access to transportation (have my own car). My home consists of two stories and my cats could be separated on a separate floor if needed. I have an unfenced yard but live in a very walkable, wooded neighborhood with minimal traffic, ideal for walking. I am also happy to transport dogs to the dog park Wriggley Park, or another dog park if you’d like. I am happy to accommodate specific feeding/medication schedules, brushing, or any other special requests you may have!
