“If I could leave Hugh & Mary 10 stars I would! This was my first time using Rover and first time leaving my 1 1/2 year old Toy Australian Shepard with people other than my family. The experience with Hugh & Mary surpassed my imagination. Right off the bat they are warm and welcoming. Just after 5 min of making a reservation I received call from Mary. EVERYTHING was just perfect. They treated my puppy like their own dog. Updated me with pictures all the time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and they have definitely set the bar high for future sitters. And the cherry on top, they put a surprise gift in my puppy’s bag and found it when I got home. So sweet!!!! I recommend 100%”
“Absolute sweet people to the core. just off brief interaction i felt i could trust them with our boy, of whom can be a bit nervous with new people. They had other dogs but our pup got along just great and came home super excited and happy and had a fantastic nap afterwards. Will definitely be looking for them to petsit again when we need”
About: I can’t imagine living a life without being a dog mom. I’ve had dogs since my childhood and practically my entire adult life. I’ve had heartbreak from losing them because they were so loved. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.
“So glad Janeece was available to care for Indy! He can be a nervous fella on first visits but he was calm and at ease since the vibe was very caring! Highly recommend for all of your precious pals!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my terrier, Laidy. She has severe separation anxiety and becomes very depressed when she's away from me, so leaving her for a week was something I was really worried about. From the moment Laidy arrived, it was clear she was in caring and capable hands. Savannah was incredibly diligent, observant, and compassionate. She paid close attention to Laidy's needs, made sure she got plenty of walks, and did an amazing job helping manage her anxiety. Most importantly, she gave Laidy so much love and attention that she truly felt at home. The updates and care she provided gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'm beyond grateful for the kindness and dedication Savannah showed my dog. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Our first time using Rover and we had an excellent experience with Amanda. Very caring and sent us updated messages thru Pipers stay. Very happy and will definitely use Amanda again !”
“Melissa was the absolute best. She took the best care of Kevin and went above and beyond to help me with logistics. Certainly our best experience on Rover so far. Thank you!”
“Lacey is great! Amazing property for the dogs to run around at, thoughtful processes, walks, kind treatment, clean facilities, and overall great family business. Will 100% rebook with her when I need Rover again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for my Doberman puppy! Marinee has so much experience with Dobermans, and it really shows. It was comforting to know my Ruby was in the hands of someone who understands the breed’s unique energy and needs. Marinee treated my Ruby like one of their own, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and care. The updates and photos they sent were a bonus and showed just how happy and well cared for my pup was. I highly recommend Marinee to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable sitter, especially for Doberman owners. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Heather was awesome! My dog looked very happy the moment he arrived and when get got back he was tired from all the attention and activities he got to do! It was a safe and healthy environment that I would definitely recommend!”
“Melanie went above and beyond to care for our doggie. She took care of her a week after having surgery. We trust Melanie with our dog and know she is going to be well taken care of.”
“Katherine is amazing. She kept in communication with me about my dog several times. She answered my texts promptly and sent me pics of my pup. He was well-loved while with her and got an abundance of activity, love, cuddles and treats. I highly recommend her.”
“Juliann has a nice little boarding facility in her home. Juli took great care of my special needs dog (blind, neurological issues) while she was there. Juliann has the ability to keep her dogs separated from the boarding dogs or to integrate them depending on needs.”

“Not only was this my first time using rover but it was also my pups first time away from home. Knowing my dog, I was worried he would drive Erika and her pup wild. Within a short time, I received a text from Erika saying he's settled now. I imagined him running and jumping all over the place but then a picture followed with him laying with a big ol smile on his face. After that I had zero worries and now my trip has been great and enjoyable. If she can handle my german shepherd I think she will do great with your furry friend.”
“Kelly is an awesome dog sitter. She sent pictures and updates daily. The dogs were very happy staying with her. I highly recommend her and would use her again in the future.”

“5/5. Kimberley is fantastic. We’ve used her numerous times to take care of our two days and I’ve never had to worry that they are being taken care of and loved. She is an animal lover and it clearly shows. Thank you Kimberley!”
About: I’ve had cats around a lot of my life but never my own until I was living on my own. My best friend who was a Vet Technician at the time called me frantic about a kitten whose family chose to put her down rather than take care of the leg their son broke. I rushed over immediately and cared for her myself. My temperamental Siamese. Flash forward to someone bringing me a stray tabby kitten and now I’m a mother of two crazy kitties! Trust me. I know how crazy it can get.

“We are very happy we found Caesar. We had our Samoyed with him on back to back day daycare. On the second day we dropped him off, he was SO excited - proof that he loved Caesar. Anyhow, Caesar is a great guy, he is not only a sitter but a dog trainer, so we felt very comfortable with him. He was always there for us, replied super quick to all our messages. We couldn't ask for someone better. We will leave our dog with him every time.”

About: I’ve always had animals around while growing up. I don’t think I can recall a time I haven’t had a pet. I even insisted on rescuing my dear Daizie May when I was 12 from the pound. I’ve helped raise several litters and rescue any dog I see in need. I have to actively stay off Facebook as to not fall into fostering or taking in any animal in need. My boyfriend calls me a Disney Princess with the way I communicate with my animals. It’s all about body language, respect, and patience. Trust is extremely important. I currently work a flexible schedule in my family owned business and am looking for side jobs that I also am passionate about. Any time that I’m needed I can usually make it work. I’m ready to follow and assist in whatever systems are set up in your family and household. Whatever your fur family is used to! Photos are VERY important and cherished.

I adopted my own large pup three years ago and I adopted my kitty in 2014. I trained my puppy and have also trained my cat (yes, it’s possible). I am good with all dog sizes and all cats! I’m currently working full-time but I have a flexible schedule. I can work around the needs of your fur baby! I am free most early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Long walks, extra cuddles, and lots of love. My fur-babies are my children. They are so spoiled and I carry myself the same way in caring for others!
About: I have taken care of many animals since I was around 12 years old. For years, people within my community have come to me to take care of, or spend time with their sweet (and sometimes not so sweet) pets while they were away, and because I am so used to caring for children, I have a special place in my heart for pets of all kinds. I am very patient and nurturing and have many pets of my own back home in GA where I grew up, but because I am away from my own fur babies, I am hoping to have the opportunity to spend time with yours, just as if they were mine. :) My typical full-time job is within the film industry, which is shut down for the time being due to a writer’s strike that has forced thousands out of work for an unknown amount of time. With that being said, I’m spending a lot of time at home and have a completely open schedule for pet care! The writer’s strike likely will go on for months, so I am fully available now for full-time pet care and will still be available part time once the film industry is back up and running! I have always felt comfortable having pets on my furniture as well as in my bed, as I grew up with three “lap dogs” who crave constant attention and cuddles. I understand that not all pets prefer to be touched or held, but I like to give pet owners that option. :) I am a pretty active young adult, so I love dogs that like to go on hikes or walks around our nice, friendly neighborhood. (or yours!) I never let my own animals’ food or water bowls go empty, so I make sure that the pets are always well maintained and taken care of. I am attentive, caring and patient and I’m eager to share my love with your pets!
“Melissa is a rock star dog walker! 🤘😎❤️🐾 My Goldem Retriever was desperate for a walk and it started raining — this did not stop Melissa from giving my dog the most fun walk in the rain ever! ☔️🐕 My dog is so happy and I’m very grateful!”

“Caesar is so knowledgeable and patient with my Mastiff and Boston terrier. My mastiff is not typically comfortable with men and Caesar has been working with him, taking him on walks and after a couple of visits their total pals! Caesar knows a lot about dog psychology and has helped me a lot with how I work with my dogs. I highly recommend using Caesar for all of your pet sitting services.”
About: I am currently a dog bather, used to be a dog trainer and have experience with multiple dog breeds and temperaments, I know how to approach timid dogs as well as puppies or older dogs. I am currently a dog trainer so I know how to care for dogs and their individual needs. My current dog has a lot of different medical needs as well.

“If I could leave Hugh & Mary 10 stars I would! This was my first time using Rover and first time leaving my 1 1/2 year old Toy Australian Shepard with people other than my family. The experience with Hugh & Mary surpassed my imagination. Right off the bat they are warm and welcoming. Just after 5 min of making a reservation I received call from Mary. EVERYTHING was just perfect. They treated my puppy like their own dog. Updated me with pictures all the time. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and they have definitely set the bar high for future sitters. And the cherry on top, they put a surprise gift in my puppy’s bag and found it when I got home. So sweet!!!! I recommend 100%”
“Absolute sweet people to the core. just off brief interaction i felt i could trust them with our boy, of whom can be a bit nervous with new people. They had other dogs but our pup got along just great and came home super excited and happy and had a fantastic nap afterwards. Will definitely be looking for them to petsit again when we need”
About: I can’t imagine living a life without being a dog mom. I’ve had dogs since my childhood and practically my entire adult life. I’ve had heartbreak from losing them because they were so loved. I’m retired and home mostly except for when I travel. I’m available to walk dogs and to play with them in fenced yard. I have a soft spot for all animals. My dog Holly is mostly an inside dog but always has access to fenced backyard through doggie door. The same would apply for any dogs I care for.
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for my terrier, Laidy. She has severe separation anxiety and becomes very depressed when she's away from me, so leaving her for a week was something I was really worried about. From the moment Laidy arrived, it was clear she was in caring and capable hands. Savannah was incredibly diligent, observant, and compassionate. She paid close attention to Laidy's needs, made sure she got plenty of walks, and did an amazing job helping manage her anxiety. Most importantly, she gave Laidy so much love and attention that she truly felt at home. The updates and care she provided gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I'm beyond grateful for the kindness and dedication Savannah showed my dog. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family.”
“Lacey is great! Amazing property for the dogs to run around at, thoughtful processes, walks, kind treatment, clean facilities, and overall great family business. Will 100% rebook with her when I need Rover again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for my Doberman puppy! Marinee has so much experience with Dobermans, and it really shows. It was comforting to know my Ruby was in the hands of someone who understands the breed’s unique energy and needs. Marinee treated my Ruby like one of their own, providing plenty of exercise, playtime, and care. The updates and photos they sent were a bonus and showed just how happy and well cared for my pup was. I highly recommend Marinee to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable sitter, especially for Doberman owners. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Heather was awesome! My dog looked very happy the moment he arrived and when get got back he was tired from all the attention and activities he got to do! It was a safe and healthy environment that I would definitely recommend!”
“Melanie went above and beyond to care for our doggie. She took care of her a week after having surgery. We trust Melanie with our dog and know she is going to be well taken care of.”
“Katherine is amazing. She kept in communication with me about my dog several times. She answered my texts promptly and sent me pics of my pup. He was well-loved while with her and got an abundance of activity, love, cuddles and treats. I highly recommend her.”
“Juliann has a nice little boarding facility in her home. Juli took great care of my special needs dog (blind, neurological issues) while she was there. Juliann has the ability to keep her dogs separated from the boarding dogs or to integrate them depending on needs.”

“Not only was this my first time using rover but it was also my pups first time away from home. Knowing my dog, I was worried he would drive Erika and her pup wild. Within a short time, I received a text from Erika saying he's settled now. I imagined him running and jumping all over the place but then a picture followed with him laying with a big ol smile on his face. After that I had zero worries and now my trip has been great and enjoyable. If she can handle my german shepherd I think she will do great with your furry friend.”
About: About Me: Animals are my life’s work. My background is unique: I spent 20 years as a commercial airline pilot, a career built on extreme reliability, safety protocols, and being dependable under pressure. I bring that same disciplined "cool head" to pet sitting. Whether I’m managing a pack on a mountain trail, caring for a senior dog, or tending to a barn, your animals’ safety and your peace of mind are my priorities.R Rehab, Healing & Holistic Expertise: For over 15 years, I have specialized in rehabbing dogs with behavioral challenges. My approach is a blend of structured positive reinforcement and intuitive energy work: Behavioral Rehab: I have extensive experience with "difficult" cases, rescues, and high-needs temperaments. Energy Work & Reiki: I am trained in Animal Reiki and Emotion Code. This allows me to help animals release trapped emotions and settle into a calm, balanced state—perfect for anxious travelers or rescues with a traumatic past. All Species, All Breeds – No Discrimination I welcome all animals regardless of breed, size, or status. I am comfortable with "power breeds," giant breeds, and intact dogs, provided they are social and well-mannered and trained. The "Adventure" Standard: For my canine guests, we go on at least one long hike or intensive walk daily, often including outings to the lake and local trails. Farm & Livestock Care: Having run a farm animal rescue, I am experienced with horses, goats, sheep, cows, pigs, and poultry. I am happy to provide farm-sitting services for those who need a caregiver who truly understands livestock. Why My Experience Matters From the cockpit to the farm, I’ve spent my life being the person people count on. Whether your animal needs a high-energy mountain guide, a calm healing presence, or a knowledgeable farm hand, I have the experience and the heart to provide it. Feel free to ask me for a multi-animal discount! I am home full time dedicating my life to my animals. We typically head out for our long walk or hike in the morning after which everyone is having their meal. The exercise in the morning ensures a calm and happy pack for the rest of the day. My property is fully fenced in and dividable into three sections: Front yard, porch and backyard. The animals are my priority and are typically never left alone.
“Samantha was very responsive, sent pictures and a video of my dog, and was very kind and generous when I was late for dropping off and picking up my dog. The home and backyard was a great environment for my siberian husky and she was great to work with. I would absolutely recommend her help to anyone needing a dog sitter if you're in the area.”
“Gaius was absolutely wonderful with my girl Lilith! I was so worried about her during the holiday but she had such a good time. Even made a new friend with his adorable dog He sent pictures and videos and kept me informed of how she was doing.. Prompt with pickup and drop off. Will definitely use him again.”
