Highly-rated overnight sitters - Marvyn
“Kaia was amazing. She watched our beagle for the day while we explored Auburn and went to a game. She was very flexible and accommodating with our timing and took great care of our pup. We will definitely reach out again when the time comes! Great experience.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ms. Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Francois and Girbaud! From the moment we met her, I could tell she had a genuine love for animals and a calm, nurturing spirit that immediately put the boys at ease. She went above and beyond every step of the way—sending adorable photo updates, keeping me informed, and making sure they were comfortable, entertained, and well cared for the entire time. When I got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and delightfully tired—which to any dog parent means they had a great time! It’s clear she gave them plenty of exercise, play, and affection. Ms. Catherine treated them as if they were her own, and I truly appreciate her kindness, patience, and reliability. I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who’s attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely loves what she does, Ms. Catherine is the one. Francois, Girbaud, and I are so grateful to have found her! 🐾❤️”
“Sandra and Mark were so amazing with my two babies that they didn’t even want to come home, seriously! Sandra even found treats that my picky eater actually likes. I’d give them 100 stars if I could. The communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our trip to the beach knowing our babies were in good hands.”
“We feel like Laura and Spirit have become pals. Laura treats her like her furry roommate. We plan to leave Spirit with her anytime that it works out. She has a true love for and knowledge of dogs, that is very obvious in talking to her. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Booking with Ryan was great. He sent loads of pictures of my dog Murray enjoying his stay. Murray is tuckered out from all the fun and walks, which really puts me at ease that he was comfortable staying with Ryan. Cannot recommend him enough.”
“Autumn was AMAZING!! She is so flexible whenever I needed to leave my dog a little longer. I so enjoyed the frequent pictures and videos. She is great and your dog would be in great hands!!”
“I will forever be grateful to Katie. While I was giving birth, she watched my dog as normal, but it was able to incorporate, baby blanket and baby crying to help introduce our new daughter to him. I am so blessed that we found her as she is a wonderful human mom and dog watcher. You cannot go wrong with Katie.”
“Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Extremely pleased! Our first time using Rover has been a very positive experience because of Jennifer and her loving family. We definitely plan to use Jennifer again.”
“I would recommend highly! Great communication and loved all the pictures!! She watched my beloved doggo for 9 days and I almost think she (my pup) didn’t want to leave since she had such an amazing time!!”
“Heather made sure that Toby felt right at home! She & her family loved on him & even let him ride with them in the car (one of his favorite things to do!). I highly recommend Heather for taking care of your dog & will use her again!”
“Last minute booking, dogs were happy, not sure they wanted to leave. She did great with updating me with pictures on how they were doing. Drop-off and pick-up is always quick. You can feel assured having her watch your dogs.”
About: I’ve had taken care of pets ever since I was 14. I love all type of animals and have so much fun with them. I overall make sure the animals are comfortable and safe while in my care. I currently work a part time job. I’m mainly available during the weekends and mornings or late nights. I am a very flexible person and very understanding when it comes tho scheduling. I always make sure to follow the directions and pay attention to every detail the owner tells me about their animal. I try to see if the animal itself is comfortable and show that I am a very trusting person to be around. Love to take them out and have play with them!
“Kayla is the best. She showed patience and understanding for my furbaby whom never stayed with anyone before. He received lots of love and got a chance to have a play date.”
“Great experience! Our dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the photos, updates, and the wonderful interaction with them. Thank you for taking such good care of our pets!”
About: Hi there! My name is Natasha and I would love to spoil your dog! From malteses to rottweilers I have had many dogs as a young'un; all with very different personalities. I've dog sat for Rover clients, friends and employers (on farms and in the city). My apartment has been a revolving door for amazing pooches. My dog care style is "play, pass out, repeat". Big or small, I'm very good at tuckering dogs out. I grew up with rottweilers and have a penchant for adorable pitbulls so I do not shy away from large breeds as long as your dog is trained. I took a short break from Rover but I've still been sitting beautiful pups and I look forward to taking care of yours! Two day mininum for new dog sitting cients. I work freelance so I am able to give your pup (s) lot's of love! Occassionally I will have to leave the house for two to four hours at a time so if your pup needs constant hourly care, I may not be the right match. I respect the pet parent's rules. If the dog is not allowed on the couch, they won't be on the couch. If you need the toilet seat down because they like to drink the water, no problem! Dogs need structure and I do not plan on breaking it (unless it's more play on behalf of the parent, of course).
“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”
“Second time bringing the dogs over and my experience with Awy and Stephanie definitely didn’t disappoint. She constantly send videos and pictures. What I love most is that she’s very special and caring with them. It’s like caring for them myself.”

“Kailyn did such a fantastic job watching my little Coco! My cat is very energetic and needs a lot of attention. Kailyn played with her and gave her so much love during every visit. She always sent me updates and was great at communicating. I already have her booked to watch Coco again in October and November!”
“Adrianna really went above and beyond with our beloved daughter Rosie. She cleaned the litter box and also fed our many fish while we were out of town. Kelsey and I are very grateful!”
About: Growing up, our neighbors on our street all had animals that they would trust my family with taking care of while they were gone. Being older now, I still have the same love of taking care of animals whether it is my own dog and cat or other people’s! I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy look after such an important part of your family and would love to be that person!! I’m a teacher so I get off work fairly early and have weekends off to help others who need it! Whether that is letting them out, taking them for a walk or feedings! I know animals prefer their own environment and would love to create a safe and trusting experience for them right inside your home to make them as comfortable as possible!
“Emily was super kind in her texts and was able to do additional visits for me at the last minute when I had an unexpected flight cancellation. So helpful and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Thank you Heather for taking good care of our kitty girls, Diamond and Poppy. Loved all the pics and that you took the time to play and give pets! Hope you'll come back again. Definitely recommend you 😊”
About: I would love to take care of your fur babies. I am also a college athlete so I can play and run around with your dogs outside. I am just a student so the only thing that I would have each day would be class. I have made my schedule to where I do not have a lot of classes each day and my classes end early. I do not have my family dog with me so I will treat every animal that I sit like my own. I am very energetic so I will make sure the dogs that I sit will get the exercise they need.
About: I am a graduate of UAB and am currently attending Auburn University as part of UAB’s Rural Medicine Program. I will start medical school at UAB next fall. I’ve been around dogs for 18 years, including having five dogs of my own which vary in breed and size. My dog, Jax, has been my best friend throughout college and goes everywhere with me! I have extensive personal experience working with dogs that require special care, such as medications and food restrictions. Additionally, I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs. I understand every dog has certain needs or wants to be happy, mentally and physically. I don’t believe in bad dogs! Every dog has their own personality and traits that make them special, and I am dedicated to learning the best way to handle and communicate with every dog I encounter to ensure an effective relationship. I look forward to talking with you and meeting your precious pups in the future! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I have classes every weekday morning until around 11-12:30, depending on the day. I have one class for two hours on Monday evenings. I do occasionally travel to visit family on weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to play. There is shade, water, and the gates are reinforced to prevent runaways! Additionally, the house has additional space for a dog to hang out and avoid interaction, if they desire.
About: I’ve always loved animals and originally wanted to become a veterinarian growing up. Now, as a pre-nursing student at AU, I still love having the opportunity to care for others — especially animals. I grew up with a childhood dog that I was completely inseparable from. Even when I was little, I helped feed her, walk her, play with her, and even helped with training. Those experiences are a huge part of why I love pet care so much today. My family now has two dogs that we got while I was in high school, and I love visiting them every chance I get. I’m definitely the type of person who immediately gravitates toward the dog at any social gathering. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since I was around 10 years old, and even more frequently once I started driving at 16. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means going on runs with high-energy dogs or taking slower walks and giving extra comfort and attention to more relaxed pets. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and so loved while their owners are away. I also worked on a ranch last summer where I cared for dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, and ducks, which gave me even more hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and personalities. Although I didn’t grow up with cats, I’ve done plenty of cat sitting over the years and absolutely love them as well. I know every cat is different, and I’m always patient and attentive to their routines and comfort level. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work a 9–5 job during the week, but I have an hour lunch break that gives me flexibility for walks, check-ins, or midday care. I also usually go on a run in the mornings and take walks after work or after dinner, so I’m very used to staying active and would love bringing a dog along if they enjoy extra exercise. On weekends, I’m available all day and have a much more flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight care. I live in a two-level apartment/townhouse with plenty of space for pets to be comfortable and move around. There’s grass right outside for easy bathroom breaks and walks, plus a balcony and a dog park within my apartment complex for extra exercise and playtime. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment and always make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s routine. I know consistency is important for animals, so I always try to keep them comfortable by following feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions closely.
“Jonah was a fantastic sitter as always! She's incredibly kind, helpful, and so great at communicating about my cats, delivered mail, and any concerns she has during her visits. My girls and outdoor son love Jonah to bits and I am so grateful anytime she accepts my on the fly requests! 10/10 always gonna hire again.”
About: I have been fostering and taking care of dogs since I was 11. I have worked with everything from puppies to senior dogs. I am comfortable with all sizes and energy levels! I am currently on summer break, so I have plenty of free time to check in and walk your dog! I’d love to get my steps in and be able to give your dog some exercise! I love to make the experience as comfortable as possible for your dog. I build trust by letting the dog approach me and working with their specific needs. I always am looking to top off their water and make sure they are as happy as can be!
“Twanda was great!... Very knowledgeable about animals and full of compassion too! She warmed up to our cat and vice versa within a day. I highly recommend her for pet sitting with most any animal and definitely hope to have her services again!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets throughout my whole life. I adore animals with all of my heart (trust me - I would pet a wild grizzly bear if I could.) and couldn’t imagine life without my chihuahua, Sugar. Feel free to leave your pets with me throughout your summer vacation. You get a well-deserved break, and your pup will get lots of love and new adventures! I will always, always, ALWAYS treat your dog with kindness and respect. I am very familiar with anxiety and similar issues in animals. I can 100% assure you that I will do my very best to make your dog feel comfortable, happy, and safe. :)

Perfect for high energy dogs - Marvyn
About: I empathize with the deep bond between pet owners and their furry companions. Having been raised with dogs and cats of different sizes, I possess extensive expertise in their care. Moreover, my flexible timetable enables me to dedicate ample time and affection to your beloved pet throughout the week. My background includes tending to animals of all sizes, demonstrating patience in grooming, administering medication, engaging in playtime, and fostering trust. I prioritize respecting the individual boundaries of each furry friend. As I work from home, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule, ensuring regular breaks for feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. In my home, pets receive personalized care tailored to their needs, including regular exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love and attention in a safe and comfortable environment.
About: Hi! I’m Taylor, and I have extensive experience working with animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, and large animals. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State Universith and recently completed my Master’s in Veterinary Medical Sciences with a concentration in Shelter Animal Medicine through the University of Florida. I also have professional veterinary hospital experience and am currently preparing to begin veterinary school at Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics for several years and am comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. I have experience administering medications and injections, monitoring post-surgical or senior pets, handling anxious animals, and recognizing when something may be medically concerning. I also have experience with puppy care/training and senior pet care, so I’m happy to accommodate different energy levels and routines. My goal is always to make your pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible while you’re away. I try to keep them on their normal routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, medication schedules, or just having someone patient and attentive around. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. For boarding: I currently live in a pet-friendly home environment and can accommodate different needs depending on your pet’s personality and comfort level. If your pet uses a crate/kennel, you’re welcome to bring it so they have something familiar from home. Safety is extremely important to me, and all outdoor time is supervised and leashed unless otherwise discussed. I’m very comfortable with pets that require extra care, including medications, injections, special feeding instructions, or senior accommodations. Please let me know about any medical conditions, behavioral concerns, fears, or routines ahead of time so I can make their stay as stress-free as possible. :) Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because caring for animals is already a huge part of my daily life. I have several years of veterinary hospital experience and recently completed my Master’s in Veterinary Medical Sciences with a concentration in Shelter Animal Medicine through the University of Florida online while working full time. I’m also preparing to begin veterinary school at Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine. Because of my background, I’m very comfortable handling pets with different personalities, energy levels, and medical needs. Outside of my regular responsibilities, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddle time, enrichment activities, or helping maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I work hard to create a calm, low-stress environment and to keep pets on routines that feel familiar to them. I’m experienced with a wide range of temperaments and medical needs, including senior pets, anxious pets, and pets requiring medications or injections. For boarding, pets are always supervised and outdoor time is safely managed on leash unless otherwise discussed. If your pet is crate-trained, you’re welcome to bring their crate or favorite items from home to help them feel more comfortable and secure during their stay. I believe communication is extremely important, so I always try to keep owners updated and make sure everyone feels confident and comfortable throughout the visit.
About: I have over 15 years of experience with all types of animals. I have a deep affection for animals and understand the importance of their well-being. Whether it’s a playful dog or a curious cat, I always take the time to understand their unique behaviors and needs. I am attentive and patient, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure. For pet owners, knowing that I can offer reliable care provides peace of mind—whether it’s a quick check-in, a thoughtful response to any concerns, or simply understanding how to make their pets feel at ease. My love for animals is grounded in the belief that pets deserve kindness, respect, and consistent care. I focus on building a trusting bond with each pet so they feel comfortable and safe in my presence. For pet owners, this trust is invaluable—it means you can leave home knowing that your furry friend is not just in good hands, but in the hands of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them as if they were my own. I will be taking this position fulltime ensuring exercise and playtime, feeding and medication routine, rest and comfort. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine ensures your pet receives consistent attention, love, and the appropriate level of care to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. Your pet’s well-being is always a priority, and my routine revolves around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs. My home is pet-proofed to ensure there are no hazards, such as toxic plants, sharp objects, or unsafe areas that your pet could access. All windows and doors are securely closed or locked to prevent any escapes, and I always monitor pets closely when they’re outside to ensure they’re safely contained. Your pet will have a designated, cozy sleeping area that is safe and comfortable, whether it’s their bed, crate, or a spot they’re familiar with. I will ensure that this area is free from distractions and potential dangers, allowing them to rest peacefully and securely. I’ll keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, including feeding times, exercise, and rest. If they’re on medication or need specific care, I will ensure they receive the correct dosage at the right times. Sticking to their usual routine helps minimize stress and makes them feel more at home in my care.
About: Our dogs have always been family and I can't recall any time in my entire life when I haven't had a dog at my side, sometimes two or three. I've had dogs of all sizes and energy levels. The longest boarding was for two months while the pup parent traveled in Asia. I've had dogs on my small ranch in NV and we rode trails together. They moved with me to CO and we enjoyed the mountains and front range together. I drove cross-country many times with my dogs, stayed in hotels and visited friends and family with them. My dogs are always a priority in all we do and I will care for your pups as I do mine. Be assured that I will follow any special instructions you give to provide your pet a safe, happy, stress-free stay. I recently rescued a deaf puppy who was in the middle of the road, and took care of her until a new, loving home was secured. I checked on her later and she is happy with her people and dog family. I am retired and always home. I spend my days gardening, cooking, squirrel and bird-watching, helping at church, and making greeting cards. My two dogs are with me the entire day. We will give your pup lots of company and love. I prefer to sit for one client at a time and max two dogs at a time. I look forward to meeting you and your pups. It's a good day any day that you meet new friends with fur. They bring joy to life. I have a 1/2 acre and a huge fenced yard for play and romping. Your dog will not be put outside for any length of time without my oversight. I am frequently out in the yard, relaxing, weeding, planting and pruning. Safety is number one and focused, pleasant care are my priorities. I want to be sure that the pups have my undivided attention. My two small dogs and I will give your pup lots of company assuring that he or she is acclimated and gets to know us. Our home is comfortable and happy. Does your pup enjoy endless belly rubs? Mine do and I have plenty to share. I prefer to sit for one client and max two dogs at a time. Photos of your pup's day are provided, if requested. I feed my dogs twice a day and give them one treat after their meals. I will feed your dogs at the time of day you prefer. We will only give your pup treats that you provide. I will follow your feeding schedule and administer meds if needed. My early career was 20 years as a hospital clinical laboratory scientist and then as a director. I've medicated my dogs and horses and given shots, so I know all the techniques needed to administer meds for your dog. Be assured, I recognize a dog's body language if in pain, stressed, or sick and will notify you immediately of any serious issues. I will follow your instructions if vet services are needed. My senior dog, Vivvie requires a special diet, so I make homemade dog food, veterinarian approved. No table scraps for her or for dogs in my care.
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life, to me a home isn’t a home without one! As of right now I have three dogs, one that lives with me full time. I rescued him from a shelter and I love training him and watching him grow up. I would be a great help with training or just simply giving love and attention to your sweet pup ! I work part time at an Auburn country club with the flexibility of being able to leave in the middle of the day when needed. I am near tons of dog parks, I take my dog, Bear, everyday that it’s not raining, and he gets along great with every pet including cats. I also love to run and go on walks and wouldn’t mind having a furry companion.
About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I've taken care of them when abandoned by the mother, sick, or disabled. I have experience doing basic training. My own pets pile on me the second I sit down. I've never had a pet pass the rainbow bridge before the age of ten. I love animals so much and I will love yours too! **** I like to send many pictures and updates. Please do not feel obligated to reply to each one. Dont worry, I know you are busy**** Taking care of animals is all I want to do. I am a stay-at-home mom and my youngest is 16. I have plenty of time on my hands and love. I have fully fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I have a pug of my own who doesn't mind other animals. I usually keep him in the bedroom for the first couple hours. I have two inside/outside cats who are also very friendly to people and animals. If I am sitting cats and dogs together, I will usually keep the two separate. Cats upstairs and dogs downstairs. Don't worry about attention. There is plenty to go around! If I'm caring for your babies at your house, I will follow the rules you provide.
About: Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital, I developed a strong passion for animal care from an early age and gained hands-on experience working with a wide variety of species. I have personally cared for four dogs and a rabbit, giving me a deep understanding of daily pet care, responsibility, and animal behavior. In addition to personal experience, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital and shelter throughout my senior year of high school and during my freshman and sophomore years of college. In this role, I assisted with patient care, monitored animals, maintained clean and safe environments, and supported veterinarians and staff with daily operations. I also volunteer at a horse ranch during my free time, where I assist with animal care and ranch responsibilities. My background has allowed me to become comfortable working with animals of all sizes and temperaments while developing strong compassion, communication, and caregiving skills. currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of time to animal care and attention throughout the day. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine, and I enjoy maintaining a structured schedule to ensure animals receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship. I have four personal dogs and regularly spend time finding new walking trails, parks, and outdoor areas to take my pack on adventures and exercise outings. Staying active with my dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for pets, whether in my own home or in a client’s home. Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital and working as a Veterinary Assistant taught me how to properly handle animals, recognize behavioral changes, and maintain clean, safe, and stress-free environments for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am very organized and dependable, so I like to keep pets on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. I have four dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and treating every animal like family. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and exploring new trails and outdoor spaces to keep them active and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, carefully follow all instructions, and prioritize communication by providing updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed while they are away.
“Allison was great! Oreo loved her and her husband! They had a fun weekend. She sent lots of updates including pictures and videos. He enjoyed playing with her dogs, and he came home happy and exhausted. We have already booked our next day with her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I could walk. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and take care of their pets. I love snuggles and playtime! I currently work from home and have free time to take care of any needs of your pets! I am active and love taking them for walks and playtime. I have a yard and two sweet pups to keep your pets company. I have a separate spare bedroom that your pet can stay in if they need space from other animals.
About: I’m a life long animal lover and have had the opportunity to care for my friends, family, and neighbor’s pets for years whether it was daily check-ins or caring for them while owners were away. I personally can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a pet of my own and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I currently work from home with the flexibility for long walks, play time, and lots of cuddles. There really isn’t a day or time I couldn’t be available. I have a fenced in yard, a great neighborhood for walks, two pet loving kids and a sweet dog of my own to provide your fur baby companionship during their stay.
About: I have been a pet owner since I was a child! I’ve cared for pets most of my adult life! Fur baby sitting for friends while they are on vacation. Have taken care of puppies and those precious senior dogs! I work part time from home and am a “Mimzy” to 5 beautiful grandchildren that visit often!! I’m generally available from Sunday -Thursday but can make concessions if need be! I have a fenced in back yard with doggy door access. I believe all pets are part of a family and should be treated as such! I enjoy playing with fur babies, snuggling and spoiling them!
“Zymeria was outstanding with our 2 corgi puppies. She has such a positive demeanor and loves animals. She took our dogs on walks, fed, and played with them. We were very impressed with Zymeria and her care of Frankie and Scout. We highly recommend her and hope to utilize her exceptional services again soon.”
“This was my first time using Rover for my dog Bambi. Safe to say she had a great experience staying with Danielle and her animals. She sent us pictures and kept us updated throughout the day. Bambi was worn out and a happy pup when we picked her up! 10/10 service and recommend to anyone in the area.”
“My baby girl was in such good care with Jordan and his good boy. She must have had the time of her life. She came home and slept straight through the night. Not even the crinkle of a chip bag could wake her! We will definitely rebook with Jordan again! Hands down the best day sitter for my good girl!”
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I have several years of professional experience working with dogs in boarding and daycare environments, with a strong focus on behavior, safety, and low-stress handling. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, administering medications, following special routines, and working with dogs that benefit from a calmer environment. My background has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs and adjusting care accordingly. I also carry pet care insurance in addition to Rover’s protections and believe in clear, honest communication so owners can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work from home, which allows me to spend the majority of my day with the dogs in my care rather than being away at a traditional 9-to-5 job. My schedule is built around feeding routines, walks, enrichment, potty breaks, cleaning, and individual attention. While I occasionally leave for errands or appointments, dogs are not routinely left alone for a full workday. I provide care in a calm, structured home environment designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Dogs are supervised, managed thoughtfully, and given appropriate opportunities for activity and rest throughout the day. I prioritize low-stress handling, safe management practices, and predictable routines that help dogs settle in successfully. Each dog’s care is adjusted based on their age, temperament, energy level, and individual needs.
“Wow! My 4-legged boys LOVED their visit with Ashley. She pampered them with attention, walks and Scooby snacks. Ashley is a true animal lover - warm, ebullient and so wonderful about keeping in touch with photos and videos. Highly recommend and will use her A+ doggie daycare again.”

I understand every dog has certain needs or wants to be happy, mentally and physically. I don’t believe in bad dogs! Every dog has their own personality and traits that make them special, and I am dedicated to learning the best way to handle and communicate with every dog I encounter to ensure an effective relationship. I look forward to talking with you and meeting your precious pups in the future! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I have classes every weekday morning until around 11-12:30, depending on the day. I have one class for two hours on Monday evenings. I do occasionally travel to visit family on weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to play. There is shade, water, and the gates are reinforced to prevent runaways! Additionally, the house has additional space for a dog to hang out and avoid interaction, if they desire.
About: I have taken care of my own dogs and my friends dogs for years. I also have a cat which I have taken care of my whole life. I have experience of house/dog sitting for friends and family. I am currently a vet student with over 5 years of experience working in a general practice and emergency veterinary medicine. I am available most of the summer to help in whatever way is needed. I can walk, feed, let outside, and play with your pet. I am able to accommodate any of your pets needs. I can walk your fur baby on a leash or simply just let outside. Additionally, I have experience with giving medicine to dogs and cats. Any medical or other needs that your pet may require I can provide.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life — all 24 years of it. From the moment I was old enough to pick up a food bowl, I was right there helping to care for them. That means over two decades of feeding, walking, playing, and loving dogs of all shapes and sizes. For me, caring for dogs isn’t just a job — it’s second nature. During the day I work, but I have the flexibility to step away and check in on any pets in my care. Evenings are generally when I’m most available, so your pet will have plenty of attention and company after hours. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own family dog. Your pet won’t just be looked after — they’ll be loved, spoiled, and made to feel right at home.

About: Im doing this full time. Im also doing this because I love and care for animals and their wellbeing. I believe finding someone good and kind for your fur babies matter. But since I’m doing this full time the only reason I wouldn’t be able to do anything would be if I’m already booked for that. I will also be available for Christmas and thanksgiving unless I end up getting booked. But letting everyone know in case they want to plan ahead! I always end up treating an animal like my own. I make sure they get plenty of pets and attention. I don’t let their water run out and refill as much as possible especially during summer. I am understanding and patient with animals especially if they have high energy and need to be outside a bit more than others to get some exercise/ energy out. I care about animals period. I have a pretty big range of experience with different dogs. I’ve taken care of multiple dogs at a time different sizes and ages. I’ve taken care of a diabetic cat (my baby she lived a very long life 19 years) I have taken care of a diabetic dog also.

I don’t like to leave my baby for more than 4-5 hours max. That’s why I offer going to drop in 4 times. I can always adjust the price accordingly. I don’t mind traveling to make sure your fur baby is taken care of throughout the day. I can take your fur baby walking giving them water and some love. If you have a fenced in yard I will still go and watch them outside you never know what could happen. I will update you as much as you would like.

“Kaia was amazing. She watched our beagle for the day while we explored Auburn and went to a game. She was very flexible and accommodating with our timing and took great care of our pup. We will definitely reach out again when the time comes! Great experience.”
“Sandra and Mark were so amazing with my two babies that they didn’t even want to come home, seriously! Sandra even found treats that my picky eater actually likes. I’d give them 100 stars if I could. The communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our trip to the beach knowing our babies were in good hands.”
“We feel like Laura and Spirit have become pals. Laura treats her like her furry roommate. We plan to leave Spirit with her anytime that it works out. She has a true love for and knowledge of dogs, that is very obvious in talking to her. We would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!”
“Autumn was AMAZING!! She is so flexible whenever I needed to leave my dog a little longer. I so enjoyed the frequent pictures and videos. She is great and your dog would be in great hands!!”
“I will forever be grateful to Katie. While I was giving birth, she watched my dog as normal, but it was able to incorporate, baby blanket and baby crying to help introduce our new daughter to him. I am so blessed that we found her as she is a wonderful human mom and dog watcher. You cannot go wrong with Katie.”
“Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Extremely pleased! Our first time using Rover has been a very positive experience because of Jennifer and her loving family. We definitely plan to use Jennifer again.”

“Heather made sure that Toby felt right at home! She & her family loved on him & even let him ride with them in the car (one of his favorite things to do!). I highly recommend Heather for taking care of your dog & will use her again!”

“Great experience! Our dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the photos, updates, and the wonderful interaction with them. Thank you for taking such good care of our pets!”
About: Hi there! My name is Natasha and I would love to spoil your dog! From malteses to rottweilers I have had many dogs as a young'un; all with very different personalities. I've dog sat for Rover clients, friends and employers (on farms and in the city). My apartment has been a revolving door for amazing pooches. My dog care style is "play, pass out, repeat". Big or small, I'm very good at tuckering dogs out. I grew up with rottweilers and have a penchant for adorable pitbulls so I do not shy away from large breeds as long as your dog is trained. I took a short break from Rover but I've still been sitting beautiful pups and I look forward to taking care of yours! Two day mininum for new dog sitting cients. I work freelance so I am able to give your pup (s) lot's of love! Occassionally I will have to leave the house for two to four hours at a time so if your pup needs constant hourly care, I may not be the right match. I respect the pet parent's rules. If the dog is not allowed on the couch, they won't be on the couch. If you need the toilet seat down because they like to drink the water, no problem! Dogs need structure and I do not plan on breaking it (unless it's more play on behalf of the parent, of course).
“Brian, his wife, and his home are the perfect place to board your dog. My dog Cali has felt right at home and couldn't be any more spoiled. The attention, energy, and love she recieved while staying with them couldn't have been more perfect. Their house was immaculate, the yard, and location is perfect. Brian is easy to communicate with and responsive and very flexible. I was going out of town for work and needed a place for my dog and wasn't sure how long I'd be gone. They were helpful and extending was easy. If you're looking for a loving home away from home you don't need to look any farther.”

I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean!

About: I have been watching dogs for most of my life. i’ve watched many breeds for weeks at a time for friends and enjoyed every second. I grew up raising dachshunds as a young kid and i enjoy having a companion to care for and play with! I am stationed in Fort Benning, GA and i work Monday-Friday from 8AM-4PM. i am gone most of the day but i have a consistent work schedule. On occasion, i will travel out of town, but i will make sure my availability shows the days i am not at home. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space to run and play. There aren’t any dogs around me to pester or threaten any dog that’s near my house. i am able to crate anytime i need as well. i live in a very quiet neighborhood (on a dead end road) so i rarely see cars drive by. i walk and run on my road everyday by myself and am more than willing to walk dogs with me as well.
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my dog, Greyson! She kept him for the weekend and was incredibly easy to communicate with very responsive and always keeping me updated. She sent photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell immediately when Greyson came home that he had been in great hands. His behavior was noticeably different in the best way—he was happy, energetic, and relaxed. I’ve taken him to multiple sitters and boarding places through Rover before, and he usually comes back feeling lethargic. This time was completely different. You could really tell he was loved and well cared for. One of my favorite moments was seeing photos of him sitting by the fireplace, it truly felt like he was at home.”
