“Judith was wonderful with Amber. Amber made friends with other dogs and I believe it will make a difference with her. Judith, you are a lifesaver and thank you for taking such great care with my baby. We will definitely see you again. Carol B”
“Jess and her family took in my Shepherd as if she were a member of their own household. Issa is a temperamental dog who does not trust easily; however, she felt secure immediately and received ample attention and affection. Throughout my week away, I was regularly updated with messages and photographs. I paid for the pickup and drop-off services provided, which I found to be affordable and highly convenient, allowing me to leave town on schedule without unnecessary stress upon my return. I highly recommend her services.”
“It’s not easy to find a sitter for two big dogs. We really appreciate you making it possible for us to travel knowing that our babies are safe and being cared for.”
“Alexis was great. She is attentive and wants to make your dog feel at home and loved while you’re away. If we weren’t moving I would definitely have her watch our pup again.”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Met Brett on Friday to drop off Our dog. He was greeted with a wonderful welcoming committee of 4 of the sitters' dogs. Was shown the huge fenced in back yard area for all of them to run in. Very nice people with great pets. Will definitely bring our boy there again if we are traveling.”
“Jada was so kind and responsive. She truly loves dogs and it shined through during their entire stay. She was warm and loving when I dropped the dogs off, communicated and shared pictures, both my dogs seemed right at home and were well cared for. She will be by go to sitter from now on!”
“Ashley was great! Flexible with drop off and pick up times and she sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay, making me feel more at ease as we were out of town. Will definitely book with Ashley again if we are ever back in the area.”
“Katherine did a wonderful job taking care of my baby. She treated my dog as if she were her own, cared and attended for her needs and even gave her extra love and attention. I highly recommend and look forward to the next time we travel because I know she will be in great hands with Katherine.”
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
“Melanie is wonderful! From the “meet and greet” to actually caring for Murphy, she was extremely patient, kind and caring. I especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed. She made me feel reassured that our fur baby was in good hands! 100% would recommend her to anyone:)”
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“We are repeat clients with Staci and trust her and her wonderful family to sit for our baby girl. Our dog had diabetes which makes it very hard to find someone to provide daily injections, Staci is a pro and caring sitter and her family treats our dog like their own! We appreciate Staci so much!”

A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks.

I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.

“Josie is my go-to for any cat-sitting I need. She takes great care of my cats, gives me detailed updates every visit, and goes out of her way to address or alert me to any problems she sees at my house while I'm gone. I highly recommend her.”
“Highly recommend! My cat was looked after so well and in every photo sent she looked so happy and taken care of when I had to be away for a few days. If you need someone who will look after your cat and provide them extra love I highly recommend these sitters!”
“Katia was wonderful! She kept our kitty lots of company, took great care of her and made sure she was loved and played with. She was great at keeping me updated and I have complete peace of mind while we were gone :)”
“I interviewed a couple people for drop-in services for my cat, Keesa and decided to book Landry because Keesa didn't hide from her! They were comfortable with each other, and as a cat mom, that's important because it means Keesa wouldn't be stressed. Landry was good with her. She texted me every time she came in and sent pictures. I recommend Landry, and would request again if needed.”
About: I have always had a passion for animals. I started sitting for furbabes when I was in high school.I am an Army Veteran and work at an urgent care as a Medical Assistant. I have a Great Pyrenees, Whiskey whose is considered special needs and 3 cats Pendleton,Jameson and Moscato who are all full of energy. I typically work 3 days a week and would be happy to travel within the Brunswick/SSI or Jekyll area to care for your fur babes. I try to stay under a 10 mile radius from where I live in historic Brunswick. Please feel free to reach out to me for more detailed scheduling options and pricing for a case by case basis.If you require more than one visit a day, I do charge an extra $5 for the 2nd service. I also like to do a military/first responder/student discount! As for cancellations I do require a 48hour notice for drop in visits but I understand that it’s not always possible. My priority is caring for your furbabes above all. I only ask for a 48hour notice because I often have to turn other clients away when one is already booked. I unfortunately do not offer boarding. I am able to accommodate furbabes with special needs pets as I have a Pyrenees with hip dysplasia. Because of my medical background I am more than comfortable and experienced administering injections. I have a special place in my heart caring for geriatric or injured furbabes- I take extra time with them free of charge. I also am able to help care for small/ large breed pups and cats. I also have experience with livestock and spend extra time with gentle giants such as horses- I grew up in the Midwest and was always helping out on the farm
About: I've owned animals my whole life. I recently worked at a spay and neuter clinic that has given me insight to animal care and needs. I am currently a stay at home mom. I can go over several times a day to spend as much time needed with the animals in my care. I will follow all instructions given by the pet owner. And make sure that each animal in the home gets lots of attention while I'm there.
“Emily was an amazing help with my chickens! it was a bit of an odd request, but she handled them great sent pictures and communicated thoroughly. i would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have raised and cared for families, friends 🧡, and even coworkers' pets. Growing up, I always enjoyed watching veterinarians help our farm animals. My mother taught us about natural remedies we could find in nature to help cure or heal us over time. One memorable experience was when I saved a beloved cat from what we believed was antifreeze poisoning. Drawing on what I learned from my family and my work, I created activated charcoal using black coal from the fireplace. I mixed the powdered charcoal with warm milk and carefully forced it down my little cat's throat. Thankfully, I was able to save my cat, Taco 🌮 😺, who went on to live for many more happy years.
“It was our first time leaving our 2 cats alone for more than 24 hours and we needed help fast. Coreena came through for us and handled the visits like a pro, giving us much needed piece of mind. Now we can plan more trips! Thanks Coreena.”
About: I love dogs. I have been doing drop-ins and dog walking for two years. I got on Rover just recently. The time I spend on a drop-in or walk with your dog is 100% about them. Love is always a two-way street with dogs, and I enjoy bonding with them and caring for them. I work for myself so I have flexibility I just need a day's notice to set up a home visit. I enjoy walking and am walking everyday and would enjoy walking your dog. I currently do visits to the dogs place of residence and I accommodate whatever the particular dog is accustomed to in a loving way. It is very important to me that the dog feels comfortable where they're at as well as with me. This hasn't ever been an issue.
About: Growing up I always wanted to be a veterinarian due to the love and compassion I had for all types of animals. Due to my environment the only animals besides those of nature that I was around were mainly cats and dogs. I took that to my advantage and spent every moment possibly with any cat or dog I could get my hands on. There were always stray litters of kittens and I made sure to always find them and bring them home. We took care of them and rehomed them. It may have drove my mother batty, but she knew I cared for every animal I met and had to do this. Fast forward to adulthood, I still scream like a child inside whenever I see a cat or dog… which yes happens to be a lot. I own two of my own German shepherds and two cats. My parents have always had small dogs so I am used to dogs of all sizes. I am currently a stay at home mom needing to find a job that will be rewarding work to me and help me support my family I have two separated fenced yards and a cozy bedroom inside. If kid friendly, they will be allowed to roam and hangout in our dog friendly home. If they are not friendly with my dogs I will make sure my dogs are kept separate as your fur babies will be my first priority always. They will be allowed to be outdoors with access to indoors whenever they would like. Fresh water and food provided always. Treats with permission. If staying overnight, they will be crated in the bedroom next to mine. If friendly and potty trained, they may roam at night.

Maintain a safe and clean environment, follow any specific instructions from the owner, and provide plenty of attention and affection to keep them happy and comfortable.

About: Hi! I understand how important your pet is to you. We have two yorkies, Tyson and Wyatt, that are our children! We provide a caring, safe and active home for pups. Because we have two small dogs, we do prefer to sit for small dogs, under 15 pounds, to ensure everyone is safe. Our yorkies have gotten along with all dogs that they have been around. They love to play but quickly learn their boundaries. They are spoiled rotten with attention and your dog will be too! I work from home full time so there is usually someone always here to let them outside several times a day. If we go out we do put our pups in a pen I do keep my pups in a pen while I work and when we leave the home to ensure they are safe... and don't have accidents in the home!
“If you're looking for a reliable and caring dogsitter, Jennifer is the one to book! We are very selective about who we leave our pup, Aslan, with, and Jennifer exceeded our high expectations.

We will be booking with Jennifer again and highly recommend her for anyone who wants exceptional care for their furry friend!”

I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.

“Judith was wonderful with Amber. Amber made friends with other dogs and I believe it will make a difference with her. Judith, you are a lifesaver and thank you for taking such great care with my baby. We will definitely see you again. Carol B”
“Jess and her family took in my Shepherd as if she were a member of their own household. Issa is a temperamental dog who does not trust easily; however, she felt secure immediately and received ample attention and affection. Throughout my week away, I was regularly updated with messages and photographs. I paid for the pickup and drop-off services provided, which I found to be affordable and highly convenient, allowing me to leave town on schedule without unnecessary stress upon my return. I highly recommend her services.”
“It’s not easy to find a sitter for two big dogs. We really appreciate you making it possible for us to travel knowing that our babies are safe and being cared for.”
“Alexis was great. She is attentive and wants to make your dog feel at home and loved while you’re away. If we weren’t moving I would definitely have her watch our pup again.”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Met Brett on Friday to drop off Our dog. He was greeted with a wonderful welcoming committee of 4 of the sitters' dogs. Was shown the huge fenced in back yard area for all of them to run in. Very nice people with great pets. Will definitely bring our boy there again if we are traveling.”
“Jada was so kind and responsive. She truly loves dogs and it shined through during their entire stay. She was warm and loving when I dropped the dogs off, communicated and shared pictures, both my dogs seemed right at home and were well cared for. She will be by go to sitter from now on!”
“Ashley was great! Flexible with drop off and pick up times and she sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay, making me feel more at ease as we were out of town. Will definitely book with Ashley again if we are ever back in the area.”
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
“Melanie is wonderful! From the “meet and greet” to actually caring for Murphy, she was extremely patient, kind and caring. I especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed. She made me feel reassured that our fur baby was in good hands! 100% would recommend her to anyone:)”
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“We are repeat clients with Staci and trust her and her wonderful family to sit for our baby girl. Our dog had diabetes which makes it very hard to find someone to provide daily injections, Staci is a pro and caring sitter and her family treats our dog like their own! We appreciate Staci so much!”
About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.
