“The F. family was wonderful to work with. They were very sweet and kind to our Cha Cha. They made her feel right at home. Our greet and meet was perfect it gave us 95% confidence we picked the right family. They sent us lovely pictures of Cha Cha just about every day. A lovely video displaying Cha Cha's strong affection for them when she dragged her blankie to be next them at all times. So...cute. It was extremely helpful and comforting for us to be out of the country on vacation and not having to worry about our precious cargo back home. She was very relaxed and happy when we picked her up. We would definitely use the F. family again. We and Cha Cha thank you all for the wonderful experience!”

They loved her as much as I do. They were amazing and I feel so very blessed to have found them and booked for another trip. Thank you so much for you care and love for Brownie! 💕💕”
“Ryan was fantastic. I got pictures throughout my dogs stay with him. I could tell he was taken care of and he was happy in all the pictures. Did my heart good to see him so happy while we were gone. We are new to the area so it was scary trying a new place but Ryan was great and I will definitely use him again. Highly recommended!!”

“Immediately upon meeting Avary, all 4 of our dogs were completely comfortable with her which speaks volumes. She was flexible and followed all directions for our pups. When she had a question, she asked instead of guessing. Avary gave our dogs love and checked in regularly. I was so nervous leaving them in the care of someone new but Avary did not disappoint. She showed that the wellbeing of our dogs were her top priority.”

“I feel so fortunate to have found Priya to help with my fur baby! She accepted a last minute booking for doggy daycare this week when my pup needed to be out of the house for home repairs (we had just done a meet & greet and scheduled boarding for Thanksgiving weekend). Priya made Axle’s first doggy daycare experience a positive one for all of us! She welcomed him each (early) morning and he had the best days playing with her sweet pup Miya & another friend. Priya sent lots of pictures and videos each day that made me smile! She is lovely and kind and took such good care of my fur baby. She has a beautiful home & Axle loved exploring her fenced yard and crashing throughout the house after play sessions. He played hard and (reluctantly) came home exhausted and so happy! She made him feel so welcome and put my mind at ease. She is a fantastic communicator and truly cared for Axle like her own. She kept him safe and well-fed. Axle is looking forward to Thanksgiving weekend with Priya and her family! I am so thankful she joined Rover! Don’t hesitate to book with her if she has availability!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was little and have years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly love animals.

I’m currently in cosmetology school and also work a part-time job Tuesday through Saturday, usually until around 5 PM. Even with my schedule, I always make time to give pets the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, organized, and committed to making sure your fur baby feels safe! I have a fenced-in backyard and love going on walks with my fur babies! I’ll make sure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
About: I’ve always had dogs at home, up to three at once! Most all raised and trained from puppy stages. I had a disabled dog recently who lost usage of her back legs and was incompetent. She required lots of help and being carried around but was a sweetheart. Currently I have eight geckos as well as two snakes, a skink, two cats (mostly outdoor) and one dog. My dogs name is Luna, she’s almost two years old, deaf and mentally special but as friendly as can be! (Several rooms for separation of my dog if needed as well as my crate.

I have one friendly pup to keep yours company and I have a spare room. I have the ability to crate my dog and space for a crate for yours if provided. We go out after every food and water break, get lots of cuddles and extra play time!

Also completely ok with smaller "cage" pets (mice, ferrets, guines pigs, hamsters, etc.) I currently work part time Wednesday-Friday 9-2. But am available to go care for your pets before work, and of course hours after work as well up to 3 times a day. Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays I am completely open to whatever schedule im needed for your pets care.

I am willing to learn anything else necessary in caring for your furbaby. I can easily feed and water kitties, provide litter box cleaning, etc
About: have experience caring for dogs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I enjoy walking, playing, and giving them the attention they need while their owners are away. I work from home, so I can take care of pets starting at 8:30am every day. This gives me plenty of time to walk them, play, and give them the attention they need throughout the day. I’m also flexible on weekends, making it easy to adjust to your pet’s routine. I live in a clean and cozy apartment with a beautiful walking area downstairs, perfect for safe and fun walks. Pets are always supervised and cared for with love. I follow feeding, walking, and play routines to keep them comfortable and happy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: Previously, I worked as a kennel tech at a Vet Clinic for about 3 years! I have had experience in caring for cats and dogs (love them both). Along with working with animals at the vet clinic, I have been on Rover for over a year and also offer pet sitting outside of the app. My goal is always to offer the best care for your animals, ensuring you feel at ease when being away from them! I am currently a college student but I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to make time in the morning, most afternoons, and evenings. To ensure the safety of myself and the animals, I would be sure to get all of the details on what the pet needs. Such as, medical history, and knowledge of any existing problems or quirks the pet may have. For example, my own dog doesn’t like to eat right away, she likes to graze; this would be something I would want to know just in case. Care and safety are all in the details!
About: I have been in the industry since I was 15 years old!! I have always loved all animals and especially love dogs and horses. I have worked at vets, boarding facilities, breeders, and have owned dogs big and small my whole life! Your pups will be so loved while they are with me!! I also have trained all of my pups myself :) I am a teacher, so during the year I get up early to spend time with the pups and let them play and do their business. I set them up for the day and then when I get back at 3 they are let out again and it’s play time!! I have breaks and summers off which also helps with my schedule as well! I have a fenced in yard with 3 pups who are my pride and joy!! They love everyone and there ages range from 1-8 years old!! We are crating our one year old but the rest of the pups are so well behaved that they have free roam of the house! My goal is to make them feel loved and comfortable!! They all have access to dog beds or the couch and a basket of toys available for them to play with with each other or us!! We also love to take walks and play in the back yard for hour!! They have a set dinner time also.
“Alesia is amazing!!! Super responsive, detailed, and a true dog lover! We have 3 Pugs and they are on a strict schedule and routine. Thankfully, Alesia met with us the day before to go through their routines to make sure that their wasn't too much disruption. She sent us report cards after every walk, along with pictures, which every dog parent appreciates when they are away from their fur babies! Thank you so much Alesia!!!”
“I really should just pay you for the pictures you take instead of the dog walking! 🤣 they’re hilarious & crack me up! Thank you for taking such great care of my fur baby. It brings me so much relief to know she’s having fun and in good hands, while I’m at work.”
About: I have only ever cared for certain dogs for very short intervals of time. I care for my personal dog, which is a yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, and he is a small dog under 15 pounds. I have walked a few dogs before that were of medium and big size. I am a very caring person and love dogs of every breed. I only want the very best for your furry companions because I would want the same for mine. I am hoping to gain a lot of experience from pet sitting and hope that you consider me a good fit as your sitter. I do not have any special skills, I just really love dogs and want to spend my spare time having a ton of fun with them. Thank you. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week from 7pm-7am so I am available on my days off for drop ins and walks! I prefer a notice a couple of weeks in advance if booking an overnight stay so I am hopefully able to tweak my work schedule. Thanks! My dog sleeps in the bed with my husband and I and is free to roam around the house during the day. I will care for your dog however you prefer.
About: Hello! I’m Rae, I live in the Ball Ground/Cumming area. I’ve spent the last year working at a vets office as a receptionist. I love and care about all walks of life. Always willing to help in anyway to accommodate both you and your pet! I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and my mother was a K-9 unit trainer. I have had 6 dogs at home at one time, most of them rescued dogs. I’ve had Pit Bulls most of my life. I’ve rescued and re-homed many dogs off the streets. 95% of those said rescues have been Pits/pit mixes, hounds, terriers, and of course cats as well. I have loved my babies that I have or had dearly and I will have no problem loving your pet! There’s just something about the connection you get with an animal that’s like no other and that’s one of the best gifts in life is to have a friend you can count on! I’m currently just doing Uber Eats deliveries as of right now so I have pretty open availability to come by and take care of your animals while I’m out and about! I try to make the pet as comfortable as possible and try not to disturb the routine as much as I can. I hang out with them like I believe the family would . I treat them like my own. We cuddle, play, and go for walks if that’s something they do (some dogs are too old for walks)
About: With a lifelong passion for dogs, I bring a wealth of experience to my dog sitting services. Growing up with dogs, I've developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. Now, as a proud dog mom of three fur babies and the owner of a small business tailored just to pups, you can rest assured that your babies will be cared for in a loving and fun environment. 🫶🏼🫶🏼 As a full-time worker with flexible hours, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine through thoughtful planning and prioritization. Here is what a day in our household looks like with my 3 pups to give you an idea: **Morning Ritual**: Each morning, I dedicate the first 30 minutes to an hour to my pups. This includes a refreshing walk or playtime, allowing them to stretch their legs and get some exercise while I enjoy the fresh air and bond with them. **Flexible Breaks**: With my flexible work schedule, I can take advantage of breaks throughout the day. During these breaks, I make it a point to check in on my pups, giving them attention, a quick play session, or just some affectionate cuddles. **Midday Engagement**: When my work allows, I set aside time around lunchtime to either take my dogs out for another short walk or engage them in interactive play. This keeps them stimulated and helps break up their day. **Evening Quality Time**: After work, I prioritize quality time with my pups. Whether it’s a longer walk, a visit to the dog park, or training sessions, I make sure they get ample exercise and mental stimulation, reinforcing our bond. **Weekend Adventures**: On weekends, I plan longer outings or fun activities, such as hiking, going to the lake, adventures to the ballpark or visiting pet-friendly places. This not only provides them with physical exercise but also allows us to work on social interaction while exploring and enjoying our time together. By incorporating these strategies, I ensure that my pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for, all while successfully balancing my work commitments. Now, this is merely just an example of my every day with my own boys, When imagining what you may or may not need when it comes to caring for your pet, customizing yours and your pet’s needs is always essential. Caring for someone else's pet in their home requires attention to detail, respect for their routines, and a genuine love for animals. Here is what that looks like when tending to your pet and their needs: 1. **Understanding the Pet’s Needs**: Before starting, I have a detailed conversation with the pet owner to learn about the pet’s daily routine, dietary needs, exercise requirements, and any specific behaviors or quirks. 2. **Following Instructions**: Adhering strictly to the care instructions provided by the pet owner. This includes feeding schedules, medication administration, and any special care instructions. 3. **Creating a Comfortable Environment**: When possible, I like to do a meet & greet with the pup(s) and their owners to ensure they are comfortable come time for me to start caring for them. Maintaining the pet's usual environment as much as possible. Keeping their sleeping area, toys, and feeding spots in the same locations to minimize stress. 4. **Establishing a Routine**: Sticking to the pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. Consistency helps the pet feel secure and comfortable while their owner is away. 5. **Providing Plenty of Attention**: Spending quality time with the pet to ensure they feel loved and cared for while their owner is away. Engaging in play, training, or simply cuddling to keep them happy. Of course happy to incorporate things you as a pet owner may request as needed. 6. **Staying Active**: Ensuring the pet gets enough physical activity according to their needs. Taking them for walks, playing fetch, or engaging in other activities they enjoy. 7. **Maintaining Cleanliness**: Keeping the pet's living area clean. This includes regularly changing their water, cleaning up after them, and maintaining their litter box if applicable. 8. **Monitoring Health and Behavior**: Keeping an eye on the pet's health and behavior. Such as changes in appetite, appearance, mannerisms or energy levels, notifying the owner immediately. 9. **Emergency Contacts**: I make sure to have a list of emergency contacts, including the owner's vet and an alternate emergency contact. Knowing what to do in case of an emergency. 10. **Providing Updates**: Regularly updating the pet owner on how their pet is doing. Sending photos or messages to reassure them and keep them connected to their furry baby. These guidelines I have can ensure you that your pet will receive the best care possible while you’re away. Fostering trust and peace of mind for both you and your pet. 😇🫶🏼

“Ryan was fantastic. I got pictures throughout my dogs stay with him. I could tell he was taken care of and he was happy in all the pictures. Did my heart good to see him so happy while we were gone. We are new to the area so it was scary trying a new place but Ryan was great and I will definitely use him again. Highly recommended!!”

“My dogs were all smiles while hanging out with Tiffany and her sweet family!

He sent pictures and videos of the dogs together everyday and my dog Princess went into heat the day after we dropped her off and I was so thankful that he did not ask me to pick her back up and deny the job. He just had me buy some doggy diapers and drop them off to her. Princess, didn't even seem to mind the fact that he was in charge. In fact I would even say that she really loved her time there with Emmanuel and all of her new doggie friends. Not only will I request Emmanuel's services again but next time he will not only have my 4.4 pound Yorkie, but he will also have my boxer Chopper and my Lab Remmy. Thank you for everything.”

We’ll definitely recommend you to everyone and will keep coming back every time. 🐾✨”
