“Murphy is a very apprehensive dog but BobbieJo takes the time to love on her and sends us updates with pictures to let us know she's doing well! We are a repeat customer and will be seeing BobbieJo in the future, highly recommend.”
“Our dog, Newmie, had the best time staying with Jennifer and her sweet dogs for the long weekend. We got plenty of pictures and updates showing us how much fun he was having, and how relaxed he seemed. I will definitely use her again next time we are up her way! Thank you for the great care and communication!”
“Dianne was very responsive, communicative, and kind. Our dog Lady was clearly well taken care of, and we were updated on her multiple times while we were gone. Thank you!”
“James was very accommodating to our schedule, answered messages quickly, and sent plenty of updates/pictures. Clementine needed a medicinal spray and by the time we came back: her ears were pretty much healed from James spraying her everyday (and we all know how much cats like to be sprayed). We are grateful her needs were met, but also that James respected her enough to give her space to be a cat. As much as we missed her, we knew she was in good hands. We highly recommend James, and will most definitely be asking him to watch our cat again during future travel. Thanks for everything!”
“Great job! I couldn’t ask for a better care for our so much loved Natasha. She’s a bulldog and when we board her, she tends to be shy, but not with Thomas she warmed right up to him right away. Love the daily photos while we were out of town she looks so spoiled, we have used him two times in one month and will use him again and again. Thank you Thomas!”
“Cherie is fantastic! I kept having to extend my time needed for a pet sitter as I’m moving and she had no problem still seeing my kitties. Cherie spent time with my cats and went above and beyond to refill their water towers and clean their litter boxes. She ensured my home was safe and secure and I can tell my kitties loved her. Thank you so much Cherie!”
“Highly recommend! Secure fenced property with lots of room for the dogs to run and play. Kept us updated on a regular basis. Our Goldendoodle’s felt right at home I’m not even sure they missed us. Chelsea will definitely be our go to sitter!”
About: My parents had dogs before I was born so I have never lived without dogs. I share my house now with my two dogs, and I am very lucky to work from home where I can be with them all day. In addition, I spent many years volunteering with a local shelter where I was a dog walker, an adoption counselor, a foster dog mom, and assisted with training classes. If you have a dog care need outside of what I have set as what I will accept, contact me because I may be able to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. My schedule revolves around my dogs. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an enclosed porch, but they do spend most of their time indoors with me. When I am home, they go out every 3-4 hours, and if I am away, which is not often, I do not leave them for more than 8 hours. I am not scheduling for more than 3 months out, but if you have a specific date request beyond that, contact me and I can look at options. When I host your dog at my home, he or she will be treated like part of the family. I feed my dogs twice a day, and they go out every 3-4 hours when I am not home, or more often if needed. On sunny days, my dogs also enjoy laying on my enclosed porch where I have a few dog beds set up for them. The feeding and potty schedule for your dog is up to you, so please communicate that with me if it would be different from my own dogs. On the rare occasions where I need to leave for doctor appointments or family events, I would crate your dog, or alternately, secure your dog in a small room using a baby gate if you dog cannot tolerate crating. I have two bad shoulders, and therefore I do not walk dogs, but your dog would get plenty of play time with my dogs in my house and in my yard. While I try to not have dogs on the furniture, it doesn't always work out that way, but I do have multiple dog beds in every room of my home. I also have designated areas of the couch where my dogs are allowed. I would require you to bring a leash and your dog's food when you drop him or her off. In terms of in-home visits to care for your dog, I will be sure to let them out, feed them, make sure they have water, administer medications as required, and spend about 15 minutes with them in snuggles or playtime. As mentioned above, I have two bad shoulders so I am not able to walk your dog.
“Jennifer did an AMAZING job dog sitting for us! It’s evident that she truly cares about the wellbeing of pets! She kept me and my husband in the loop the whole time we were gone! We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with Jennifer and confident that the best possible care was given! Above and beyond 5 stars!!!”

“Jourdan was absolutely great with my pup! I received constant updates about how my little baby was doing! The communication was off the charts and I would recommend anyone to her!”
“MMonika was absolutely amazing. Our fur babies hardly missed a beat while we were away. We were using another sitter, however she moved, and we were truly lucky to find Monika. Her professionalism and care for our pets were unmatched. From the daily updates to the extra attention she gave them, Monika went above and beyond our expectations. We are grateful to have found such a reliable and compassionate pet sitter like her.”

“Destiny cat sat our cat while we were out of town for 10 days. She came over daily to feed our cat, play with her, and keep her company. She left our home spotless and even washed the cat bowl and swept up the cat litter that our cat kicks out of her litter box before our return. She also send us videos and pictures regularly so our minds were put to ease that our cat was taken care of back home. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone reliable and responsible to come over to petsit their fur baby.”

“If there was an award to provide for the care that was provided, Cherie would be top winner! We would certainly book her again because of her timeliness, attention to detail and simply the care she gave our babies while away.”
About: I have tons of experience caring for dogs and cats of all types temperaments and ages. I worked as a dog walker/ sitter in Atlanta GA, Brooklyn NY and Burlington VT and was a “pack leader” at a large doggy boarding/ daycare for 4 years before moving back down South in 2020. Keeping pets safe is second nature to me, as I’ve basically seen it all! I’ve cared for hundreds of dogs and cats and cherish my experiences with pets and their owners. I have a very flexible schedule with the ability to work from home, so could accommodate anxious pets, the very young and the very old! I live alone in a house with lots of space and can provide fun country walks. Also I’d be happy to stay with your pet at your home and follow any routine they’re used to. Bonus: I’m a houseplant care person too!

About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and have over 10 years of experience caring for them. I’ve taken care of my sister’s cats (8 cats at once), my friend’s cats (4 cats), and my aunt’s cat, often for extended periods while they were away. This has given me experience managing multiple cats with different personalities and routines at the same time. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and making sure each cat gets the attention and care they need. I’m patient with shy cats, enjoy engaging with playful ones, and understand how important consistency and a calm environment are for their well-being. My goal is always to make sure cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

But regarding home visits and overnight boarding at a clients house I make sure pets are well-loved and cared for. Including dog-walking, preparing food, cleaning kennel area/ (if in a kennel) cleaning after pet(s). If they take medicines/special care that is no issue :). And last but not least I will make sure they feel loved and cared for in the absence of their owners. ♡ I also am more than happy to send photo/call/text updates!

About: I’ve been a dog lover since I was a young child! Even when I was barely four feet tall, I delighted in taking care of, feeding, walking, and of course playing with our pups! And now as an adult, I have 2 rescue dogs that I have trained up and loved on (one a senior dog and one a puppy). Caring for dogs truly gives me joy and allows me to pour into others and give back. We don’t deserve dogs, but I sure am grateful we get to share our lives with them! I work full time from home and have complete flexibility with my work schedule. Leaves me time to feed the dogs, let the dogs out in the back yard, and ample amount of play time! I have a fully fenced in back yard with over half an acre for the dogs to play. The outdoor space has ample amount of grass with plenty of squirrels to chase.
“Sadie’s friends Beau and Bella (black labs) we’re visiting and we needed day care for the week. Bobbie Jo was the perfect solution. She took such care of them and her property was the absolute dream place for the pups. They were tired and happy when I picked them up. She spoiled them so much I was worried they would want to stay!! Plus Bobbie Jo is a wonderful delight. I will always depend on her for taking care of my fur babies. Thank you Bobbie Jo!!!!”
“Sara was incredible! She responded to communication quickly. Her home is so clean. The yard is fully fenced. She had a calm and reassuring manner with my 2 young Cavachons who were extremely nervous since they have never been separated from me for more than a few hours since I work from home. I could not have been any happier and will definitely have Sara watch my girls again once our move to the area is complete.”
“Champ had another awesome stay with Chelsea and her adorable family. He loves them all and we do too! So happy to have them in our lives. Champ is an only dog so not only are we relieved to have such a great option for sitting, we are so happy he has a great new puppy friend to play with! He comes home happy and tired!!”
About: I've had pets nearly my whole life. I absolutely love dogs and cats. How anyone could mistreat an animal is beyond me. I will give the best care to your pet.

I have central heat and air so your pet will be comfortable in my home.

Im not a professional groomer, but i can do kist basic grooms, baths trims and possibly shaves. I can aslo attempt to crate train your dog while they stay here.

About: Hello! My name is Hannah and I am an animal science major. Animals have always been my passion. From the time I was a little girl I have always loved animals! I have always had many pets!

Pet care is a part of my daily life and has been for as long as I can remember. I take great pride into caring for others. Please provide details on if your fur baby is kenneled, placed in his/her “room”, etc. what treats/toys are allowed. If your home does not have a fence please let me know if there’s any neighborhood pets to look for.
About: As a dog lover, I understand how important it is to give your furry friend the best care possible. Having been a pet sitter for my friends’ dogs, I’ve gained valuable experience in administering medication and sticking to a strict routine. Unfortunately, my fur babies passed away recently, leaving a void in my home and heart. So, I’m excited to open up my home and help others with their adorable pups 💕 As an avid walker, I know how crucial exercise is for our four-legged friends. I’m always looking for an opportunity to hit the pavement, and what better way than to do so with a loyal doggo by my side? I’m confident that I can give your dog the exercise and care they deserve. So, if you need someone reliable and enthusiastic to take care of your furry family member, I’m here for you! As a homeschooling parent, we have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of our time at home. We have plenty of space for your furry friends to run and play, as well as quiet spaces for them to relax and nap. Our schedule is relaxed, and we always have plenty of time for walks, cuddles, and playtime. As an animal lover, I understand the importance of making sure your pets are healthy and happy. When your pets stay with me, they will receive all the love, care, and attention they need to thrive. Whether you need to leave your pets with me for a few hours or a few days, you can be sure that they will be in the best of hands. I have a fully fenced-in yard that provides the perfect playground for all of your furry companions. 💕 I know the pups love a little time to play outside and bask in the sun while enjoying some fresh air! I also understand that safety is important, which is why I do require a crate for your pet. While they have free rein of the yard and house during the day, I am able to keep them safe and secure in their crates at night or whenever the need arises.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for 30 years. I am an intuitive, attentive caregiver for pets and people alike. I know that your pet's physical and mental well-being are equally important and recognize that sometimes we just need a little extra. Sometimes it's a walk, sometimes it's a belly rub. Whatever it is I love to figure out and help those in my care feel as comfortable and secure as possible. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom of three older children with a flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate a pet's needs into my day-to-day routine. I am available to watch pets throughout the weekend, but do not accept Saturday drop-offs. Friday drop-offs must be by 4:30pm. I have a fenced back yard with lots of shade and a deck. Dogs are welcome inside. I have three indoor/outdoor cats. As long as your pup won't try to eat them, we'll be fine ;) I regularly walk every day and can walk or run your pup as needed!
“Sean has been a great sitter! Prompt communication and is easy and flexible with my working hours. For a new puppy mom and first time user to the Rover app, it was super easy and trusted Sean to take care of my little guy, he even got some training and socializing with other people and dogs in! Will continue to use Rover + Sean when needed!”

I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any special care needs. I always make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection while also keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable.
About: I worked in veterinary clinics for roughly 13 years. I would love to help care for your pet. I believe the health and safety of your pet is main priority. I am currently sitting full time and would have plenty of time for your pups and kitties. With my professional experience I feel I am a good fit for any situation. In this line of work safety is my number one priority but equally as important is the happiness of your bestie while you are enjoying your time away.
About: I have tons of experience caring for dogs and cats of all types temperaments and ages. I worked as a dog walker/ sitter in Atlanta GA, Brooklyn NY and Burlington VT and was a “pack leader” at a large doggy boarding/ daycare for 4 years before moving back down South in 2020. Keeping pets safe is second nature to me, as I’ve basically seen it all! I’ve cared for hundreds of dogs and cats and cherish my experiences with pets and their owners. I have a very flexible schedule with the ability to work from home, so could accommodate anxious pets, the very young and the very old! I live alone in a house with lots of space and can provide fun country walks. Also I’d be happy to stay with your pet at your home and follow any routine they’re used to. Bonus: I’m a houseplant care person too!
About: Welcome! I can’t wait to provide top-notch care for your beloved furry family members while you enjoy a well deserved vacation. With a reputation for reliability, excellent communication skills, and a deep sense of responsibility, I will ensure that your pets receive the attention and care that they deserve. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and experience working as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician. I have just recently completed fostering two stray puppies for a local shelter.

You’re furry friends are welcome to sleep on my couches, beds, or cuddle up with one of my furry friends.

You will receive daily updates and pictures of your pets. I’m committed to maintaining their routines and keeping them happy. I currently work away from home 7-3pm Monday-Thursday and 7-12pm on Fridays. I am open for boarding starting Friday afternoon through Sunday evening. I am willing to make accommodations for weekday stays as well. I have a fenced in backyard as well as a 15 acre pasture that your pet will be welcome to enjoy and explore if desired.

But regarding home visits and overnight boarding at a clients house I make sure pets are well-loved and cared for. Including dog-walking, preparing food, cleaning kennel area/ (if in a kennel) cleaning after pet(s). If they take medicines/special care that is no issue :). And last but not least I will make sure they feel loved and cared for in the absence of their owners. ♡ I also am more than happy to send photo/call/text updates!

“Murphy is a very apprehensive dog but BobbieJo takes the time to love on her and sends us updates with pictures to let us know she's doing well! We are a repeat customer and will be seeing BobbieJo in the future, highly recommend.”
“Our dog, Newmie, had the best time staying with Jennifer and her sweet dogs for the long weekend. We got plenty of pictures and updates showing us how much fun he was having, and how relaxed he seemed. I will definitely use her again next time we are up her way! Thank you for the great care and communication!”
“Dianne was very responsive, communicative, and kind. Our dog Lady was clearly well taken care of, and we were updated on her multiple times while we were gone. Thank you!”
“James was very accommodating to our schedule, answered messages quickly, and sent plenty of updates/pictures. Clementine needed a medicinal spray and by the time we came back: her ears were pretty much healed from James spraying her everyday (and we all know how much cats like to be sprayed). We are grateful her needs were met, but also that James respected her enough to give her space to be a cat. As much as we missed her, we knew she was in good hands. We highly recommend James, and will most definitely be asking him to watch our cat again during future travel. Thanks for everything!”
“Great job! I couldn’t ask for a better care for our so much loved Natasha. She’s a bulldog and when we board her, she tends to be shy, but not with Thomas she warmed right up to him right away. Love the daily photos while we were out of town she looks so spoiled, we have used him two times in one month and will use him again and again. Thank you Thomas!”
“Cherie is fantastic! I kept having to extend my time needed for a pet sitter as I’m moving and she had no problem still seeing my kitties. Cherie spent time with my cats and went above and beyond to refill their water towers and clean their litter boxes. She ensured my home was safe and secure and I can tell my kitties loved her. Thank you so much Cherie!”
“Highly recommend! Secure fenced property with lots of room for the dogs to run and play. Kept us updated on a regular basis. Our Goldendoodle’s felt right at home I’m not even sure they missed us. Chelsea will definitely be our go to sitter!”
About: My parents had dogs before I was born so I have never lived without dogs. I share my house now with my two dogs, and I am very lucky to work from home where I can be with them all day. In addition, I spent many years volunteering with a local shelter where I was a dog walker, an adoption counselor, a foster dog mom, and assisted with training classes. If you have a dog care need outside of what I have set as what I will accept, contact me because I may be able to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis. My schedule revolves around my dogs. I have a secure, fenced-in yard and an enclosed porch, but they do spend most of their time indoors with me. When I am home, they go out every 3-4 hours, and if I am away, which is not often, I do not leave them for more than 8 hours. I am not scheduling for more than 3 months out, but if you have a specific date request beyond that, contact me and I can look at options. When I host your dog at my home, he or she will be treated like part of the family. I feed my dogs twice a day, and they go out every 3-4 hours when I am not home, or more often if needed. On sunny days, my dogs also enjoy laying on my enclosed porch where I have a few dog beds set up for them. The feeding and potty schedule for your dog is up to you, so please communicate that with me if it would be different from my own dogs. On the rare occasions where I need to leave for doctor appointments or family events, I would crate your dog, or alternately, secure your dog in a small room using a baby gate if you dog cannot tolerate crating. I have two bad shoulders, and therefore I do not walk dogs, but your dog would get plenty of play time with my dogs in my house and in my yard. While I try to not have dogs on the furniture, it doesn't always work out that way, but I do have multiple dog beds in every room of my home. I also have designated areas of the couch where my dogs are allowed. I would require you to bring a leash and your dog's food when you drop him or her off. In terms of in-home visits to care for your dog, I will be sure to let them out, feed them, make sure they have water, administer medications as required, and spend about 15 minutes with them in snuggles or playtime. As mentioned above, I have two bad shoulders so I am not able to walk your dog.
“Jennifer did an AMAZING job dog sitting for us! It’s evident that she truly cares about the wellbeing of pets! She kept me and my husband in the loop the whole time we were gone! We felt very comfortable leaving our pup with Jennifer and confident that the best possible care was given! Above and beyond 5 stars!!!”

“Jourdan was absolutely great with my pup! I received constant updates about how my little baby was doing! The communication was off the charts and I would recommend anyone to her!”
“MMonika was absolutely amazing. Our fur babies hardly missed a beat while we were away. We were using another sitter, however she moved, and we were truly lucky to find Monika. Her professionalism and care for our pets were unmatched. From the daily updates to the extra attention she gave them, Monika went above and beyond our expectations. We are grateful to have found such a reliable and compassionate pet sitter like her.”
“Alexa and her family were absolutely wonderful! We had a family emergency and Alexa was quick to get us in for a meet & greet before booking to make sure everything was a good fit! She kept us up to date on Rhea during her stay, her adventures & fun with their pup Brody, and was super accommodating! It was a great experience and we will absolutely use Alexa again! Rhea is home now & has been a happy, tuckered out girl for 48 hours. Highly recommend ☺️”
