About: What sets me apart from other sitters? For me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I truly believe in “soul dogs,” the once-in-a-lifetime companions who leave paw prints on our hearts forever. I feel incredibly lucky to share my life with two amazing dogs of my own: Dax, my gentle 110-pound giant, and Sandy, my spirited 23-pound sidekick. Living with dogs of very different sizes and personalities has taught me how every dog has unique needs, routines, and ways of communicating. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and love I give every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup is energetic and loves long walks and playtime, or prefers quiet companionship and belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to routines, understand the importance of consistency, and believe that trust is earned through kindness and reliability. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your best friend is happy and well cared for. My goal isn’t just to watch your dog—it’s to become someone they’re excited to see again. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. My two dogs, Dax and Sandy, have consistent routines for feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention, and I understand how important that consistency is for every dog. I work away from home Monday through Thursday, but I have a predictable schedule with consistent departure and return times. This allows me to provide reliable care and lets pet parents know exactly what to expect. On my days off, I spend most of my time at home, giving me plenty of flexibility for walks, playtime, cuddles, and one-on-one attention. When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of my family. My home is a safe, welcoming environment where they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervised play throughout the day. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can run, explore, play fetch, or simply relax in the sunshine. On warm days, I like to put out a small dog pool so pups can cool off and have a little extra fun. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers lounging outside and soaking up the fresh air, I’ll make sure they have an enjoyable stay. I know every dog has their own routine and personality, so I’ll do my best to follow their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and rest. My goal is to provide a home away from home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have extensive experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, comfortable, and valued. My goal is to provide consistent attention and gentle care, making sure your pet’s routine is respected and their happiness is a priority. As a stay-at-home mom, pet care is woven into my daily life. I provide consistent attention, play, and comfort while managing family routines, ensuring pets feel loved and secure every day. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s unique needs with patience and care. When caring for pets in their own homes, I stick to their usual routines to keep things comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and love so they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.
“Tammie was such a wonderful petsitter for our little dog, Penny. It was Penny's first time staying with someone and I didn't know how she would do. Tammie was great in sending updates, videos, and images and it was obvious Penny loved her weekend "vacation". We were grateful with the level of care and kindness Tammie showed us and would definitely book with her again. Thanks Tammie! You're the best!”

“Anneliese was amazing with our husky Buddy. He is an elderly blind diabetic and she made our vacation stress free by taking care of him. Buddy needs injections 2x a day and she took care of it no problem! Her communication was great as well throughout our trip. Thanks so much!!”
“Shellawn was a great sitter! She was very caring and kept me informed with updates, pictures, and videos. She took her to the dog park and Leia especially loved playing fetch with her son. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Definitely recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their The Rock home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your The Rock.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your The Rock sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
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.
