“Moose had a great time staying with Caylei! We appreciate her communication and dedication to making sure Moose was comfortable while we were out of town. Highly recommend!”
“our second time: i just love how they treat him like their family dog. just how we do it at our home. he’s always so much more well behaved then when we left him. thanks diana and family. love yall dog sitting for us.”
“Highly recommend. Awesome communication and our boys came back to us happy and healthy. We loved her setup (lots of playtime and a cozy place to sleep) and the frequent updates & photos. We will definitely be using Chayna again:)”
“We just returned from a week's vacation in Florida and Stacy cared for our two shih tzus for the week. I can't say enough good things about our experience with her! This was our first time using rover.com so we weren't sure quite what to expect, and we were naturally a bit anxious leaving our fur babies. Stacy put us at ease right away. We had a meet and greet so the dogs could warm up to their new environment and meet Stacy's pets as well. When we dropped them off, I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Stacy administered meds to one of our dogs daily, and provided us with pictures, videos, and email updates several times a day. She even gave them baths! More than anything, we felt like she genuinely loved and cared for our dogs the same way we would, and that is very hard to find. We will definitely use her services again in the future. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Beethoven’s stay! From the moment we met Felicia & Bradley, their family was warm, welcoming, and treated Beethoven as if he were part of their own family. They provided excellent communication throughout his stay, regularly sending pictures and videos that gave us peace of mind and allowed us to see how much fun he was having. It was clear that Beethoven was well cared for, loved, and genuinely happy in their home. In fact, he became so attached to them that he hardly wanted to leave when it was time to come home! Knowing that he was comfortable, safe, and enjoying himself made all the difference. This will definitely be Beethoven’s home away from home. We are incredibly grateful for the care and attention they provided and will not hesitate to book with them again. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and exceptional dog sitters.”
“Great experience overall. They were very accommodating to my schedule, which I really appreciated. Responded to my messages quickly and they made the whole process convenient and stress-free. Highly recommend!”
“Jill is such a gem. She was so sweet and easy to deal with, and she assured me (multiple times, even through some really difficult life circumstances) that my pup was happy and safe with her. He came home happy with the zoomies, so I think it's safe to say he had a great time! 10/10 do recommend Jill. :)”
“JR took such great care of our baby 😀 He is diligent on asking questions about Theos care that we felt he was like family. Could tell dogs bring him great joy and Theo loved all the attention. Thank you JR!”
“Beverly and her family were awesome with Rex. They treated him like one of the family. We were also sent cute pics of him during his stay. 10 out of 10 would most definitely recommend!”
“Jess did an amazing job with our dog! He is normally reactive with most other dogs. She was able to acclimate our dog with her other dogs and they ended up getting along so well. She also did a great job with communication. Our buddy came home so happy and you could tell he was very loved. I will absolutely use her again. I could not recommend her enough!”

“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Tevin was great. He took care of my pup O.J. for boarding, and when I came to pick him up, O.J. honestly didn’t want to leave. It was clear he felt comfortable and well taken care of. I’d recommend Tevin to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“We have never left our Boxer with anyone outsude of family until now. We received a picture almost everyday with how our girl was doing and/or what she was doing. She seemed very content when we picked her up. Virginia responded quickly to any questions we had. We recommend her and would use her again.”
“Heather and Chris were amazing hosts for our Golden Retriever, Riley. They were willing to take her last minute when we were needing to travel from Oklahoma to Georgia. They were so kind and did everything they could to make Riley's stay fun and enjoyable. Their backyard is a doggy paradise! Actually, a paradise for people, too! Even when we came to pick up Riley, Chris made sure that Riley was bathed before the long trip back to Oklahoma. I would definitely use Heather and Chris, again.”

“Rachel was a wonderful sitter and would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies. She was reliable and eased the stress of leaving my senior cat so I could relax and enjoy time with my new grandson.”
“Darlene was great! She was flexible, communicated any concerns and provided thorough updates. My cats are very shy, but I was happy to learn that they gradually became comfortable enough to emerge from their trademark hiding spots. I came home to two very happy kitties!”
“Savanna is a wonderful house sitter! She took great care of my two picky cats that demanded lots of attention and effort to make them eat while I was on a business trip. My senior cat has to be fed wet food several times a day and has digestive issues, so I booked her for house sitting instead of drop-in visits. I left long instruction notes for when & how to feed him, and she kept every little detail I asked for and was always on time for the feeding schedule. She also sent me lots of pics and frequent updates. My apt was very clean and intact when I got back from the trip. Definitely recommend Savannah for any pet sitting & house sitting needs!”
“Beverly was amazing! She went above and beyond, not only taking care of everything we asked, but also bringing in our packages, emptying the litter genie, cleaning up after our cats, and even rinsing out the empty wet food cans so they wouldn’t smell (which was very thoughtful since I’m pregnant). 20/10, I would recommend Beverly to anyone! We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again for our next trip. Thank you so much again, Beverly!”
“Kayla has been our saving grace with our baby girl. She’s extremely reliable, quick to respond, sends pics of our girl while we’re away, and takes the best care of our girl! We’ve rebooked with Kayla several times and HIGHLY recommend her services.”

“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!”
“I want to thank Claire for taking such good care of my cat, Cala. She played with her, kept her toilet clean and tidy and gave her the affection she needs. Cala was very happy with Claire and I definitely recommend her!”
“Alexis was awesome! One of my pups is a diabetic and it was a huge relief to find someone with the knowledge and ability to care for him and give him his shot of insulin. Highly recommend Alexis!”
About: Aside from owning 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a reptile, I have worked as a kennel tech at a dog daycare for almost a year. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and conditions, ensuring comfort and ample enrichment. Also, I am studying wildlife sciences to work in wildlife education and I love all types of animals (except wasps). Before the semester starts, I am available all week! After that, I can come spend time or board on mornings and evenings on weekdays as well as all weekend. With each pet and home, I’d make sure to take the time to familiarize myself the pet(s) space and preferences. I would care for and enrich the pet(s) as if they were my own, making sure to spend quality time in ways that are more receptive to them. I’m also open to accommodating various specific requests and also care for other pets (e.g. fish, snakes, bunnies, etc). I’m more than happy to welcome pets into my house. In those cases, I’d spend time testing compatibility and comfort in my environment with my own pets and accommodate the pet(s) as necessary to ensure low stress but plenty of enrichment. I also have a spare room I could host the pet(s) in.
About: I have been working with animals since I was 18 years old. I have several years of work experience with pet care, including veterinary medicine, boarding & daycare, and even pet grooming (baths, nails, ears, anal glands). I am very comfortable with cats and dogs of any size and temperament. I will even show special love and care to senior pets! I am more than happy to offer services throughout the week as well as the weekend. I am available as early as 6 am and can adjust how late I stay based on what you’re needing. I can care for your pets in the exact way you’re wanting. If they need more activity, I’m happy to offer playtime. If they are more low energy and like to lay around, I’d show them special love and attention in a relaxed manner such as cuddle time.
About: Cats have always been my favorite animal. I have to kitty’s of my own. I know everything that cats can have and can’t have. I’ve worked in a nursing home and it made me realize cats are a lot like older people, delicate and stubborn. I have years of experience with cats so I can provide just what they need. From playing, feeding, giving medications, cleaning, and maybe even going on walks.
About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs
“We have used Maya several times, she's great! We have an elderly cat that needs meds daily. It's so comforting to know when I'm not there I can rely on Maya to check on my old girl ♥️”
“Riley is very reliable and has amazing communication. She leaves my house cleaner than before, and always gives my kitties lots of love. I know my cats and space are well taken care of with Riley, and would definitely recommend her !”
About: I grew up taking care of animals. I have 8 years experience taking care of neighbors and friends pets for them! I am able to administer medication and shots if needed I am able to work around my work schedule, for anyone’s needs! I am always available on weekends for boarding as well as during the week I am able to make sure that my house is set up for any animal that I am taking care of. I also make sure to always ask for special request that my clients may need!
“Ivy was fantastic. I really appreciated her attention to detail. She arrived on time for every drop in visit and took meticulous care of my senior dog. I will definitely call on her again in the future!”

About: Registered Veterinary Technician who works emergency medicine on the weekends looking for extra work through the week. I can’t stay at your house overnight, but your pet can come to mine. I can also do drop ins pretty regularly. I graduated college with a degree in Veterinary technology and passed my state boards. I work at an emergency clinic in Atlanta on the weekends and right now I’m free through the week. I can try my best to work out whatever you need help with. I’m skilled at giving medications and anything basic your pet may need in home, as well as lifesaving care due to any emergency. I can keep non child friendly cats in a different area, but dogs must be child friendly. I do have cats & ferrets, but they can be kept separately if your animals are not cat & small rodent friendly. I have 2 dogs as well. All of my animals are pet friendly with everything as many animals have come through my care fostering. I'm skilled in exotic pet care as well if necessary. I currently only work weekend overnights in the ER. So, I am home all week caring for my fur babies. As well as yours hopefully! I strive to care for anyone's else's pets exactly as I would my own. When they are with me, they are my babies too. I bring my ER compassion with me when I pet sit, in the ER the pets are without their owners & they are scared on top of being hurt. While my pet sits may not be hurt, I'm aware they could be nervous & unfamiliar. I try to treat them with the upmost compassion & kindness.

“Chayna was SO GREAT with my baby pup last minute when I came in town for a special event with my husband! She was flexible and took such good care of my baby! By the second day of dropping her off, Ahsoka literally beat me out of the car trying to get back to Chayna’s place! Will definitely use her if we are ever in town again! Chayna, thank you soooooo much! ♥️♥️”

We have raised both of our Frenchies since they were just 8 weeks old (they are now 1 and 4 years old), giving us hands-on experience with everything from the puppy stage to adulthood. Because we live the "Frenchie life" every day, we understand the specialized care, and unique needs that come with flat-faced breeds, including temperature monitoring, and breathing awareness. *PLEASE NOTE* To protect the health of our pets, we require all pups to be fully vaccinated and up-to-date on the following: Flea Prevention, Heart Worm Prevention, Rabies, Bordetella, Canine Influenza, Leptospirois, DHPP. We work from home, so our schedule is highly flexible. We are available for doggy boarding and daycare all days of the week including weekends. We have a fully fenced backyard, along with an open first floor using several baby gates to protect pups from stairs and obstacles. We use crates for bed time to ensure safety.

About: I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day.

Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.
“Absolutely amazing! My dog is so clingy with me, but she was so excited to see Angela on the second day ?. My giant mastiff can be a handful, but Angela is a confident and knowledgeable 'dog person' so Penny's exuberance didn't phase her. I loved that Angela took Penny to a dog park each day too. I also REALLY appreciated the clear and consistent communication; Angela was quick to respond to any texts I sent and gave me updates (with the most adorable pics!) throughout the day. My dog was healthy, happy, and tired each time I picked her up from Angela-- who could ask for more?”

Meet my pets I currently own 2 dogs, a cat, & a bearded dragon. I have a staffy, chi-mix and a curious tuxedo along with my spikey friend of a lizard! Don't worry! They are not left alone when I am away!

I have quite a bit of free time for the time being, & would love to spend time with the fur babies! I currently have been looking for extra work along with pet sitting as well! I will try to stick to their routines as much as possible. Any written-out instructions &/or safety instructions are a plus if things are done in a certain way or order!
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Not only do I bring professional knowledge and reliability, but I’m also a proud dog parent myself—my pup is the absolute love of my life, so I know firsthand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Whether it’s a fun, energetic walk, snuggle-filled sitting session, or simply making sure your pup feels safe and happy while you’re away, I treat every dog as if they were my own. With me, you’ll get peace of mind, dependable care, and a whole lot of tail wags. I’m currently a full time student and require at least 2 hours Monday - Thursday for class. However other than that I’m fully open for the week and weekends When caring for dogs in your home, I make sure their daily routine is followed closely—feeding them on schedule, refreshing water, giving plenty of playtime, and of course, endless love and attention. I always keep your pup comfortable in their own space, whether that means extra cuddles on the couch, supervised backyard time, or simply providing a calm and familiar presence while you’re away. For walks, I focus on both exercise and safety. Every walk is tailored to your dog’s energy level—whether it’s a brisk jog for high-energy pups or a relaxed stroll for older dogs. I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to surroundings, and make sure your dog gets the fresh air, stimulation, and potty breaks they need. With 6 years of experience, plus being a dog parent myself, I treat every dog like family. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your pup is in caring, capable hands—happy, safe, and wagging their tail when you return home.

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have always felt a deep love for them. My grandfather had a farm, so dogs, cats, chickens, horses, donkeys, and have loved every moment of being there. Now, my in-laws have a farm with 2 large breed dogs, goats, chickens and a mommy donkey and baby donkey which is my dream to have this as well! First thing in the morning I get my school aged girls breakfast going and the dogs and cats get their breakfast as well. The girls say their goodbyes and give loves before heading to school and the fur babies go in the backyard to play, use the potty and sunbathe or chill in the shade then back inside for some play, cuddles, or just hanging out. I really just go by what each fur baby’s preferences are. I’m a stay-at-home mom and this is my full-time job. So my day-to-day will be with your pet, loving them and caring for them just like or as close as I can to how you love and care for them. We have a large fenced in yard, but the dogs come and go in and out as they please. At bedtime they are in for the night and sleep in their crate or as we get more comfortable and see how they do on their bed or with the person they want to snuggle with that night. ***I do ask that pets are bathed before their arrival, just as a precaution for my pets, home and children. I deeply and sincerely appreciate the understanding in this request.***

About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs
About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 3 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.
About: Over the years, my husband and I have had several pets, from cats to dogs to lizards to chinchillas. At one time we had 9 indoor cats. We have a soft heart and it’s difficult to turn away a stray. Any time we see a stray in our neighborhood, we do what we can to find the owner. Our two dogs have accompanied us on many day hikes and they both love the outdoors as much as we do. One of our dogs, Rosie, was a stray that we took in at 1-year-old. She is now 16. We adopted our other dog, Clayton, at the age of one. He is now 12. We have deeply loved all of our pets and look forward to new pets in the future. The bond between humans and animals can be so special. It is something I cherish. I look forward to caring for your fury family member! I am a Yoga Teacher and teach only a few classes per week. I am also an artist. I have a lot of flexibility in my daytime schedule to care for and/or walk your pet. I am a responsible and reliable person. I make sure to do everything I can to create a safe, trusting, and loving environment while in the presence of your sweet babies. While I am with your pet, my top priority is their safety & happiness.
“Ava is always extra attentive to our pets needs and really helped us out this week with walks for our two dogs and feeding one of our kitties who eats small frequent meals! We are so grateful for her.”
About: I have been working with animals since I was 18 years old. I have several years of work experience with pet care, including veterinary medicine, boarding & daycare, and even pet grooming (baths, nails, ears, anal glands). I am very comfortable with cats and dogs of any size and temperament. I will even show special love and care to senior pets! I am more than happy to offer services throughout the week as well as the weekend. I am available as early as 6 am and can adjust how late I stay based on what you’re needing. I can care for your pets in the exact way you’re wanting. If they need more activity, I’m happy to offer playtime. If they are more low energy and like to lay around, I’d show them special love and attention in a relaxed manner such as cuddle time.
“If you love your pet as much as my family does, I highly encourage to book with Riley! Riley is so amazing and my dog enjoys her so much! I am a repeat client and know my dog is always taken care with her.”

“Highly recommend. Awesome communication and our boys came back to us happy and healthy. We loved her setup (lots of playtime and a cozy place to sleep) and the frequent updates & photos. We will definitely be using Chayna again:)”
“Jill is such a gem. She was so sweet and easy to deal with, and she assured me (multiple times, even through some really difficult life circumstances) that my pup was happy and safe with her. He came home happy with the zoomies, so I think it's safe to say he had a great time! 10/10 do recommend Jill. :)”
“Beverly and her family were awesome with Rex. They treated him like one of the family. We were also sent cute pics of him during his stay. 10 out of 10 would most definitely recommend!”
“Jess did an amazing job with our dog! He is normally reactive with most other dogs. She was able to acclimate our dog with her other dogs and they ended up getting along so well. She also did a great job with communication. Our buddy came home so happy and you could tell he was very loved. I will absolutely use her again. I could not recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds for my entire life. I have always loved animals and grew up learning how to care for them. I also have rescue volunteer and foster experience so I have cared for all kinds of dogs! I’m currently working remote, so I am home all day to care for and spend time with your pets. I am also available for drop-ins and walks at any time! I am happy to do whatever you need to ensure that your pet is well cared for and entertained! I take my own dogs on walks every week!
“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Tevin was great. He took care of my pup O.J. for boarding, and when I came to pick him up, O.J. honestly didn’t want to leave. It was clear he felt comfortable and well taken care of. I’d recommend Tevin to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Heather and Chris were amazing hosts for our Golden Retriever, Riley. They were willing to take her last minute when we were needing to travel from Oklahoma to Georgia. They were so kind and did everything they could to make Riley's stay fun and enjoyable. Their backyard is a doggy paradise! Actually, a paradise for people, too! Even when we came to pick up Riley, Chris made sure that Riley was bathed before the long trip back to Oklahoma. I would definitely use Heather and Chris, again.”
“Bailey was amazing! We had a new puppy and this was his first time staying anywhere. Bailey was extremely communicative, quick to respond with any questions, and a wealth of knowledge. Our boy had so much fun, we’d love to come back sometime ❤️”
About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.
“Tracey had excellent communication and excellent care for our dogs. When we first arrived our dogs went right up to her and were happy to be with her. She had a small fenced in yard which our goldendoodle enjoyed. We would definitely use her for dog sitting again.”
“Richard was nothing short of amazing! He kept me updated on my pup and sent me pictures daily. This was my first time using rover and he really made it an amazing experience. I can’t recommend enough!”
“I am happy that we met such a nice family for Max. Johanna & Jerald took amazing care of Max. They sent pictures everyday and made sure to update us on Max. Their dogs are very friendly as well! I can definitely leave Max again in the future if I need and not worry at all. Thanks family!!”
About: Aside from owning 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a reptile, I have worked as a kennel tech at a dog daycare for almost a year. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and conditions, ensuring comfort and ample enrichment. Also, I am studying wildlife sciences to work in wildlife education and I love all types of animals (except wasps). Before the semester starts, I am available all week! After that, I can come spend time or board on mornings and evenings on weekdays as well as all weekend. With each pet and home, I’d make sure to take the time to familiarize myself the pet(s) space and preferences. I would care for and enrich the pet(s) as if they were my own, making sure to spend quality time in ways that are more receptive to them. I’m also open to accommodating various specific requests and also care for other pets (e.g. fish, snakes, bunnies, etc). I’m more than happy to welcome pets into my house. In those cases, I’d spend time testing compatibility and comfort in my environment with my own pets and accommodate the pet(s) as necessary to ensure low stress but plenty of enrichment. I also have a spare room I could host the pet(s) in.
