“Our dog Birdie loved her stay with Miki and Liz! We enjoyed the frequent updates and photos. Birdie is still somewhat new to us, and they were very patient as we learn more about her quirks.”
“Wandie and Shawn were absolutely amazing with my dog, Noah! From the moment we connected, they were professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. They made me feel completely at ease knowing Noah was in great hands. They kept me updated, showed him so much love and attention, and treated him like he was their own. When I picked Noah up, he was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for, which says everything. I’m very particular about who watches him, and Wandie and Shawn exceeded all expectations. I would 100% trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, loving sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of my baby!”
“I can’t believe how amazing this whole process was! Michelle has taken such great care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time. She sent me multiple videos via YouTube and I could tell that she made sure to take very good care. I have an English bulldog and she requires a lot of attention and loves to play and she had such an amazing time with Michelle. I will definitely be using Michelle again, as long as she is available. I can’t think of anyone who has taken such good care of her while I’m away. Thank you Michelle!”
“Brenda was absolutely wonderful with cash. She sent photos throughout his stay and kept me up to speed. Cash got to spend time with other furry friends as well, what a treat! Thank you for opening your home to cash ♥️”
“Barron was very friendly, organized, responsible, and a great communicator. It was clear that he really cares about dogs, and is very professional and showed great attention to detail on everything from feeding instructions to exercise needs. My dog was happy to see him after our first meet and greet, at drop off, which gave me comfort. I received plenty of pictures from Barron and when I picked up my dog, I got a full debrief of how things went. I would trust Barron with my dog on our next vacation, I know he would be in safe and loving hands.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my family’s and neighborhood dogs ever since I was a kid. I also volunteered at the local humane society at my previous college. I am a student at Scad in Atlanta, and I have minimal classes at the moment so I have lots of free time to take care of your pet! I am very respectful of people’s rules especially when it comes to other’s boundaries for things they love. My personal environment is a one bedroom apartment in Buckhead with access to small dog parks near the building. I also live right next to the belt-line trail and I love to walk around it with my parents’ dog.
“Anika was amazing with my dog Pearl! She sent lots of pictures/videos and updates while I was away. She kept up with Pearl’s medicine and took her for lots of nice walks. Will definitely be booking her to dog sit again in the future!”
“I’m not sure how many reviews I’ve given now, but I will never stop singing praises about Audrey and Isaiah. They are so incredibly good with my little geriatric one. She’s overwhelmingly happy and healthy during her stays. I will be forever grateful for them being a safe, happy place for Taylor to stay.”
“Patricia was awesome!! Kept me in the loop about my dog Mayla’s stay consistently and was super responsive. Has a great space for the animals as well - my dog came out happy and can tell she had a great stay!!”
“Elan was amazing! Super reassuring as this was my first time booking and using rover! I really appreciate the time he took to meet with us. His communication and pictures/videos update and the care for my pup was more than I could have asked for. Thank you for being flexible and looking after Bamsi so well! Will be rebooking again!”
“Daisy was incredible! This is my first time looking with Rover so I was a little bit stressed but from the jump she made me feel comfortable – and was extremely communicative the entire time as well as flexible with my schedule. She provided lots of daily pictures and updates. Love her so much we’ve already booked our next day with her!”
“Dina was a great sitter! She took amazing care of my dog, she communicated so well, and she was flexible when my travel plan was altered. I would definitely use her again.”
“Chyanne was amazing with Piper! She sent the sweetest updates and photos, and Piper looked like she was having the best time. She absolutely loved playing with Chyanne’s dogs and settled in right away. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in such good hands. I’ll definitely book with Chyanne again — highly recommend! ❤️❤️”
“Nicholas is a FANTASTIC dog sitter. My pup has some separation anxiety as I work from home and don’t often leave her. When I picked her up, she wasn’t anxious to get back home and seemed happy and relaxed. He sent daily pictures and videos, and he even washed her bowls for me. This has been the most stress free dog sitting experience I’ve had, and I am so grateful!”
“If I could rate Kelli 10 stars, I WOULD!! She and Luis took such great care of my Mahalo and I am so incredibly thankful. I was able to rest easy knowing Mahalo was happy, comfortable and loved while I was on vacation. Kelli sent updates and pictures every day and I could tell Mahalo was having a blast in their home. I travel a lot for work and it is so comforting to know he will get the same care and love from Kelli and Luis as he does at home. I will most definitely book with Kelli again! Thank you so much for EVERYTHING! We will see you again soon.”
“Jalissa did an amazing job watching our dog Dino! She was attentive, reliable, and took such great care of him. We felt completely comfortable leaving him with her, and we’ve already decided to rebook her for a longer stay while we’re on vacation. Highly recommend!”
About: The Care Takers That is primarily me. I love pets. I have a dog of my own. I became a sitter because I know how important it is to have a safe and affordable place for our furry family members to stay. I also really enjoy training dogs. I usually spend 15 min per day trying new tricks with my pups and any guest pups in the house. My partner lives with me as well. He also loves dogs. He is a vigilant food and water bowl filler upper. He's also a loyal behind-the-ears-doggy-scratcher. The Companions Lola and Quinn are my roommates. Lola is an American Cocker Spaniel who is 9 years old. Quinn is our cat that is calm and friendly. They are both friendly with small and large dogs. The Home Is located off Ridge Road in Smyrna. The house has hardwood throughout and tile in the kitchen/sunroom. Pets are allowed in all areas of the home as long as they've been house trained. We have a large crate for dogs who have been crate trained and are comfortable staying in one while we are away. Dogs are allowed on the couch as long as owners allow this type of behavior in their own home (we don't want to break any obedience training that has been established). The Outside I live in a single-family home with a large back yard. It is 75% fenced with a natural tree line and small creek on the far end. Keeping pets contained to this area is manageable but pets can be kept on leash if they’re known to be runners! There are plenty of shaded areas. There is a large and small patio that the dogs have access to. On warm days I fill up the doggy pool. For the most part, the backyard is free-range. My pets play fetch with balls, sticks, and frisbees. They are very friendly and are not protective or territorial of their food or toys. I work from home most days and am available for walks, playtime, naps, and pet specific care throughout the day. We are up and moving round early and keep a pretty steady schedule. I have a large yard fenced on three sides with a creek bordering the final side where dogs can run and have fun in a safe environment (if mom and dad approve).
About: Hi! I’m Hanna. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—from my first Keeshond to the two doodles I grew up with. I’m no stranger to high-maintenance fur coats and know how to keep them looking and feeling their best. I’ve also cared for an anti-social dog (a Border Collie-Malamute mix), so I understand how to provide the right environment and attention for dogs with unique needs. Currently, I share my home with my mini Aussie, Athena—a high-energy pup with a chicken allergy. I’m detail-oriented when it comes to treats, kibble, and her care. I live in a spacious, dog-friendly apartment where our furry friends are welcome on the furniture and in our bed. We have a secure, gated community near a dog park, a crate, and plenty of toys to keep pups comfortable. We both also have experience training and caring for puppies. When it comes to transportation, I have a vehicle equipped with a dog seatbelt to ensure your fur baby’s safety during trips. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I’ll treat your dog like family! I’m an early riser and always start my day with a walk to give my dog her first potty break and exercise. On days I work from home, we make sure she gets at least four 10-minute walks to provide mental stimulation through sniffing and to help her burn off energy. We’re homebodies and don’t often leave the house—just for my work commute or a quick run (never more than 45 minutes). I’d be happy to include your fur baby in those outings too! Your fur baby can make themselves at home at our place! We provide a comfortable, safe, and loving environment where they can relax and feel part of the family. Our apartment includes a fenced patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air outside of their walks. I follow a consistent grooming routine for my own dog—brushing weekly and trimming nails monthly—and I’ll extend the same level of care to your pet upon request. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll ensure they feel just as loved and attended to as my own.

“Brandi has been great, and has been easy to work with in terms of communication. I’ll be looking to see if she is available to take care of our boys the next time we travel!”
“Amanda was wonderful! She took excellent care of my two cats for 8 days! She followed all instructions, including giving them some porch time. In one visit, she found a whole roll of shredded toilet paper and cleaned it all up. She sent photos and videos of her visits and managed to get my shy cat comfortable with her in a short time. I will definitely book her again. Highly recommend.”
“I couldn’t be more grateful for the wonderful care my cat received! Kylah was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Kylah to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Darley was amazing with my cat crew. She was superb with communication, followed all the instructions, handled the medication expertly and gave them as much love as they wanted. When the key fob stopped working, she chatted with the concierge to get it fixed. You will be lucky to have her check in on your animals.”
“I had to travel out of country last minute for two weeks and Fiore made me feel so much better about having limited plans set up for my cats. She not only was communicative, sending daily photo updates, but she also clearly took good care of them. She also went out of her way to make my key transfer process as easy as possible. Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Ryleigh was amazing with my girl Chonk!! Took great care of her and went above and beyond to make sure my kitty was happy while I was out of town! Will be using her for all my trips moving forward!!!”
“Genevieve went above and beyond, I would highly recommend booking her! She drove the keys back to my parents place and never asked for any kind of compensation. She also provided the best report cards with a lot of great pictures!”
“Jordan was so great with our kitties! One of our fur babies in particular is very territorial & can be grumpy/angry towards visitors when we’re out of town. Jordan was very understanding towards his attitude and gave him & our other cat the best care. She sent tons of pictures and updates during her check-ins. She had great communication with us before, during, after her visits. Would definitely recommend!”
“Thank you so much Maria for how well you take care of the boys! We had an issue with our litter robot and Maria went out of her way to get a temporary sandbox for us. She always takes the best care of the boys while we’re out and we highly recommend her. Thank you again!!”
“Lara took amazing care of Ollie! I got updates every day with the sweetest photos, and a lovely report card at the end! My house I think was cleaner than I left it, which was an unexpected but incredibly lovely surprise after a long roadtrip! Cant wait to have Lara back again!”
“Gabbi was AMAZING! She took such good care of my girl and I will definitely be using her in the future! She is 100% reliable and does Ana amazing job with pets! Thank you so much Gabbi for giving me peace of mind while I was out of town :)”
“This was Alana’s second time caring for my cat and I’m so pleased with how well my cat is warming up to her! My cat doesn’t like all of the pet sitters we’ve tried so I’m super happy to have found Alana. She takes great care of my baby and seems like she’s able to read her personality very well.”
“Nashely is such a cat whisperer. She was so good with our cat, Kiki! Kiki is very stand-offish with strangers, tending to run away from them rather than approach them curiously. And she can take several attempts to warm up to you -- if she doesn't know you and you're too energetic or loud or try to be playful with her, she runs and hides. But not with Nashely. Nashely initially approached Kiki so delicately, and she has such a calm and caring presence. Kiki immediately approached her and, to our surprise, during the week we were gone, Kiki became so affectionate and comfortable around her. Nashely is great with pets, respectful of property, very communicative and trustworthy. We don't want to recommend her because we don't want anyone else to book her when we need her! But she's very deserving of our high recommendation. If you're looking for someone who can watch your pet without you being anxious or worried from afar, Nashely is your sitter.”
“Dani provided excellent care for our high-energy cat! She was very communicative, prompt, and I knew she’d provide great care as soon as I connected with her. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Hina did a wonderful job in taking care of my boys! She had no issues giving Frederick his anti-anxiety meds and was very patient with gaining Phasma's trust as he is VERY shy. I would book her again if i ever have to go out of town again! Thanks Hina!”
“Emily was the best pet sitter I could have chosen. She communicated with me so well and gave lots of affection to my cat while I was on vacation. I truly felt satisfied with her services!”
“Kelsey was great! Very reliable and always provided good pics of my cat and made me feel at ease being away from him for a week. Would definitely recommend and book her again myself!”
“Joey is awesome! He was so patient with our cat who needed a lot of attention warming up to new place. He was happily accommodating of our very last-minute request, our schedule, and he sent tons of updates with photos— we didn’t have to worry at all that she was being taken good care of while we were gone! We will certainly be reaching out to Joey again!!”

“Michelle was great, and my puppy was always happy and excited to go to doggy daycare. I also really appreciated her sending updates and her very quick responses. We will definitely be checking on her availability first whenever we need a daycare again!”
“Daniela is awesome! She and her dog, Rocky, are so much fun for my high-energy pup. We needed to find a regular sitter during the day after I returned to the office full-time, and it's so nice having peace of mind that she is well taken care of. Maple comes home tired and happy!”
About: I’ve had fur babies my entire life. I’ve always loved animals and making sure they’re healthy and happy is a passion for me…! Let’s Connect I do a lot of my work from home and have my schedule pretty comfortable to spend time with fur babies. If I know ahead of time, I can accommodate. I have a nice sized apartment. I now have a backyard! My apartment complex has a large dog park, soccer field, walking trail and there’s even a dog park less than 2 minutes away from my house 🏡 nothing but fun and care here…
“Moving to a new area and trying to find a reliable dog sitter can be nerve-racking, but Nicholas made the process so much easier. From our initial consultation, I felt comfortable, and I decided to schedule a daycare visit before booking an extended stay. Nicholas was fantastic. He kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, communicated consistently, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing Zulu was in great hands. By the time we got in the car, Zulu was completely exhausted and sleep, which tells me he had an amazing day full of fun and attention. I highly recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitter. We’re looking forward to Zulu’s upcoming extended stay, and I know he’ll be excited to go back!”
“Hannah was great! She watched my dog for an afternoon and provided great daycare services. She sent me plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day and even gave my dog a gift bag with treats! I highly recommend her services.”
“Wonderful experience with Oklie! Oklie can be a little anxious and she did wonderful here. Would recommend and would definitely use again if we are in the area. Thanks for taking care of our sweet girl.”
“Christine took care of Kimi and made us feel assured that our little pup was being cared for by sending us plenty of photos. Would definitely recommend Christine's services and would be our first choice if ever we find ourselves in Atlanta again.”
About: I grew up with a sweet dachshund and have been a dog-lover ever since! Andrew and I both work from home full time, and that makes us the go-to pet sitter for neighbors and friends. We’ve had experience with both active dogs and those that might need a little more care and patience. We love having a new friend around to keep us company! We both work fully remote jobs and therefore can give your fur-baby all the attention they may need! We always aim to go out at least 4 times a day, but can adhere to your pet’s specific schedule. We offer flexible boarding availability throughout the week and weekends. For any weekend bookings, we do ask that your pet be comfortable being alone for at least a couple of hours since there may be instances where we will be out of the house running errands. While we don’t currently have any pets of our own, our pet-friendly apartment will cater to your furry friend’s comfort. We live on the Beltline making it the perfect setting for long walks or quick potty breaks. We’re more than happy to accommodate your pet’s needs, whether it is crating them or something else.
“We were visiting for my birthday and wanted to go out but didn't want to leave our babies alone and there were many that weren't available but Akeeme came thru when I needed someone. My baby boy normally gives men a hard time but he did really well with him and I really appreciate it! If I'm ever in town again I will use him again and I'd recommend him to anyone visiting!”
“Javier took such great care of my dog! She slept the whole entire next day lol. She's a high energy dog and I think she played to her little heart's content. Javier is very pleasant to work with.”
“Luis is great. Brumble, our Beagle, can be timid with new people, yet he clearly trusted Luis and enjoyed his time in his care, as well as having a great time relaxing and playing with Luis’ pup. Definitely recommend!”
About: I got my first dog when I was 13 years old, and I’ve been in love with dogs every since. Nothing beats greetings from a friendly wet nose. Aside from my own two dogs, I have dog sat for plenty of family and friends throughout the years. I also spend my time volunteering at the animal shelter regularly! I treat and care for every dog as if they are my own, and I strive to build your trust so that you have the upmost comfort while you are away from your pups. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking most days, and can accommodate dog sitting! I work from home 100% of the time - which means you can find comfort in me being home with your fur baby almost 24/7. This also allows me to take your pup out for frequent potty breaks and play time! You can be comfortable and confident that your pup is getting the highest level of attention every day. Trust & safety is something I strive to be the best at. I know how scary and anxiety inducing leaving your pup with someone else can be. Your doggo will never be off leash once they leave my apartment unless we are in an enclosed dog space. I have a large fenced in dog park at my apartment which is super convenient for frequent play time, and I respect everyone’s concerns by not allowing your pup in this space if other dogs are present. I can easily crate your pup if I am not going to be home. More than anything, I am willing to learn about the needs of both you and your pup to keep them safe during their stay and to keep you at ease.
About: My pet care experience comes from raising my own Pomeranians over the past couple of years, plus caring for a range of small and medium dogs and cats owned by family and friends. I have hands-on experience with walking, feeding, and grooming, and I'm comfortable adapting my approach to different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Since I'm currently in the process of applying to grad school, I spend most of my time working from home. That gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability, so I can easily fit boarding into my week and give pets the attention they need. I live in an apartment near a dog park, giving pets plenty of room to explore and play. My two Pomeranians are friendly and social, so your pet will have built-in companionship during their stay. I provide a play pen along with toys for entertainment, and I like to prepare homemade food, such as a broth made with meat, carrots, and pumpkin, for a comforting, home-cooked touch.
“Ryan took excellent care of our pup Benny. He’s a bit nervous and takes some time to warm up but seemed happy to have a good day. He kept us updated with plenty of pictures/videos which made us first timers feel at ease. Thanks Ryan!”
“Stacey is such a blessing! She is so patient with our shy pup and has taken extra effort to make her feel at home away from home. We bring our dog to her place regularly for doggie day care and she loves playing fetch in their big yard. Communication is always prompt and she sends lots of pictures each day. Highly recommend!!”

“Shannon is extremely reliable and communicative for both drop in visits and walks. I have used her to take care of my 13 year old Corgi for both weekday visits while I am at work, as well as multiple visits per day while I am out of town. I highly recommend Shannon”
“Laura is amazing! She started walking our dog during the peak of summer, through the heat and all the crazy afternoon storms. Our dog absolutely refuses to go outside when it’s raining, but Laura was incredibly patient with her and so flexible with us as we figured things out. After a few attempts and adjusting the timing of the walks, they found a great routine. Our dog is always so excited to see Laura, which says everything. We’re so grateful for the care, patience, and reliability she brings, and for making sure our pup gets the exercise she needs. We couldn’t recommend Laura more highly!”
“John is excellent with communication and my dog instantly warmed up to him and looks forward to his walks every day! I appreciate John’s flexibility and he gives wonderful feedback after each walk”
“Bryan has done an amazing job walking my dog, Moose, while I have to go into the office. He is punctual, a great communicator, and always sends plenty of pup pics during bookings. I highly recommend Bryan for all your pet needs!”
About: I am a student with lots of flexibility in my schedule, and I love dogs, especially big dogs because I can match their adventurous energy. I have 5 years of experience walking and caring for neighbors and friends pets. My dog, Denali, is 13 years old and loves to go on walks and smell around every mailbox and flower! I have cared for him as he has grown from being young and active to now struggling to walk too far, so I have experience with all stages of life. I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am able to offer dog walking and stop by care anytime most days. I can also offer overnight care most nights. I am available to book for dog walking, stop by care, and overnight care! I am allergic to cats (unfortunately) so please no cats for overnight stays.
“Alana is not only an amazing dog walker (my dog is obsessed with her!). But she’s also an amazing human. I often foster dogs, and many of them can be very nervous and require specific instructions or often times, just have to figure it out as we go. But Alana is always willing to help out and test and learn on what works and what doesn’t for our fosters. She follows instructions well and is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure our fosters feel comfortable with her. It can be often chaotic with a new foster and a new routine, but she handles it with calmness and grace and I wouldn’t be able to foster dogs if it wasn’t for her! Thank you Alana for your help not only with my own dog, but helping the community as well by taking care of my foster dogs!!!”
“Renee was very accommodating and thoughtful with a last minute request to watch my dog while I had to be out of town. She made this process seamless as it was my first time using Rover. She sent photos after each walk and my dog seemed to really like her. I’d definitely use her services again!”
“Maria took Bentley on two long walks today and he came back smiling and ready for a rest from both. He was wagging his tail and so happy to see Maria when she got here for another visit. Maria took the time to work with Bentley on his walking etiquette which I so appreciate and took great photos to document their time together. I know Bentley will be just as happy to see and spend time with Maria when she visits again later this week. So glad we found Maria and for her kindness and communication.”
“Amanda is great! She is reliable and always stays in contact and communicates during her visits. She takes videos and pictures each visit. She even helps with extra tasks like bringing packages inside. Thanks for caring for our pup!”
“Samantha was very helpful and accommodated to my last minute request and was able to take my dog out over the weekend. I really appreciate you being available last minute 😊 I will definitely keep booking with her!”
“Week one walking with Shanese and she is wonderful! Her energy is so infectious, whether it's midday or 7:30am. She is an excellent communicator and manages time wonderfully. What a breath of fresh air.”
“Sydney was such a life saver. I have been sick and just wanted a good walk for my pup and she came right over last minute and gave him a great walk. Thank you so much! 10/10”
“Marcus was great! He did everything we asked of him and he was so kind to our dog. He even stayed to hang out with him for a little bit after the walk. Great dog sitter”
“Stephanie has been wonderful and patient with our dogs, one of whom is vision-impaired and scared of strangers. We're so excited to have found such a professional - she's a gem!”
“Cabby was wonderful with our pup! She was reliable and very communicative. I felt comfortable knowing he was in good hands, and she made the whole experience easy and stress free. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring with their pets!”
About: Hi there! I'm Simone, a resident physician and lifelong dog person who brings the same calm, attentive care to your pup that I bring to my patients. I grew up with Boxers for over 20 years so big personalities, lots of love, and some stubbornness are basically home to me. These days I share my home with two very opinionated dogs of my own: Niko, a French Bulldog who will do anything for a cuddle, and Kato, a 13 year old Boston Terrier who is deaf, visually impaired, and absolutely perfect. Between the two of them, I've become fluent in senior dog care, neurological quirks, behavior management, and the art of medicating a dog who has strong opinions about it. As a doctor, I'm trained to read subtle changes quickly; the kind that most people might miss. That skill translates directly to pet care too! Whether your dog needs post-op monitoring, daily medications, mobility support, senior or puppy care, high energy play, or just a calm and attentive presence, I know how to spot when something's off and act on it. Your pet will never just be "watched." They'll be genuinely cared for! My medical background means I stay composed in unexpected situations, know when something needs attention, and communicate clearly with owners every step of the way. You'll always know how your pup is doing, because at the end of the day, caring for someone's family member is something I take seriously. Whether they have two legs or four! :) Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm available for drop-ins in the morning, around lunchtime, and again in the evenings after 5:30pm. I'm also available for overnight stays, so your pup is never alone for long. Weekends are wide open! I'm fully available for drop-ins, extended visits, or overnight care. Whether you need a quick check in, daily company, or someone to be there through the night, I've got it covered. When I'm caring for your pet, I do it in the environment they know best, their own home! Familiar surroundings make a real difference, especially for senior dogs, anxious pets, or those recovering from a procedure. I follow your routines closely: feeding schedules, medication times, walking routes, rest habits. Nothing gets skipped and nothing gets improvised without a reason. For drop-ins and walks, I arrive on time, stay for the full visit, and always send an update so you know exactly how things went. For overnight and extended stays, I treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want someone to show mine. Your pet's comfort, safety, and routine stay intact from the moment you leave to the moment you're back. And if something unexpected comes up, you're in good hands. My background in medicine means I'm trained to stay calm under pressure, assess a situation quickly, and act decisively. I know the signs that something is off before it becomes urgent, and I know how to respond. You'll hear from me immediately, with clear information and a plan.

“Elan was amazing! Super reassuring as this was my first time booking and using rover! I really appreciate the time he took to meet with us. His communication and pictures/videos update and the care for my pup was more than I could have asked for. Thank you for being flexible and looking after Bamsi so well! Will be rebooking again!”
“Nicholas is a FANTASTIC dog sitter. My pup has some separation anxiety as I work from home and don’t often leave her. When I picked her up, she wasn’t anxious to get back home and seemed happy and relaxed. He sent daily pictures and videos, and he even washed her bowls for me. This has been the most stress free dog sitting experience I’ve had, and I am so grateful!”
“This being my first experience on Rover, I was nervous. Hope & Jeff put my mind at ease and took great care of my furbaby, Miri! She’s a reactive pup, but Hope & Jeff really did an amazing job with her! Hope provided frequent updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. Their house is a pup paradise with room to roam, doggie beds and toys, and a great backyard too. Highly recommend!”
“Jalissa did an amazing job watching our dog Dino! She was attentive, reliable, and took such great care of him. We felt completely comfortable leaving him with her, and we’ve already decided to rebook her for a longer stay while we’re on vacation. Highly recommend!”
About: The Care Takers That is primarily me. I love pets. I have a dog of my own. I became a sitter because I know how important it is to have a safe and affordable place for our furry family members to stay. I also really enjoy training dogs. I usually spend 15 min per day trying new tricks with my pups and any guest pups in the house. My partner lives with me as well. He also loves dogs. He is a vigilant food and water bowl filler upper. He's also a loyal behind-the-ears-doggy-scratcher. The Companions Lola and Quinn are my roommates. Lola is an American Cocker Spaniel who is 9 years old. Quinn is our cat that is calm and friendly. They are both friendly with small and large dogs. The Home Is located off Ridge Road in Smyrna. The house has hardwood throughout and tile in the kitchen/sunroom. Pets are allowed in all areas of the home as long as they've been house trained. We have a large crate for dogs who have been crate trained and are comfortable staying in one while we are away. Dogs are allowed on the couch as long as owners allow this type of behavior in their own home (we don't want to break any obedience training that has been established). The Outside I live in a single-family home with a large back yard. It is 75% fenced with a natural tree line and small creek on the far end. Keeping pets contained to this area is manageable but pets can be kept on leash if they’re known to be runners! There are plenty of shaded areas. There is a large and small patio that the dogs have access to. On warm days I fill up the doggy pool. For the most part, the backyard is free-range. My pets play fetch with balls, sticks, and frisbees. They are very friendly and are not protective or territorial of their food or toys. I work from home most days and am available for walks, playtime, naps, and pet specific care throughout the day. We are up and moving round early and keep a pretty steady schedule. I have a large yard fenced on three sides with a creek bordering the final side where dogs can run and have fun in a safe environment (if mom and dad approve).
About: Hi! I’m Hanna. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—from my first Keeshond to the two doodles I grew up with. I’m no stranger to high-maintenance fur coats and know how to keep them looking and feeling their best. I’ve also cared for an anti-social dog (a Border Collie-Malamute mix), so I understand how to provide the right environment and attention for dogs with unique needs. Currently, I share my home with my mini Aussie, Athena—a high-energy pup with a chicken allergy. I’m detail-oriented when it comes to treats, kibble, and her care. I live in a spacious, dog-friendly apartment where our furry friends are welcome on the furniture and in our bed. We have a secure, gated community near a dog park, a crate, and plenty of toys to keep pups comfortable. We both also have experience training and caring for puppies. When it comes to transportation, I have a vehicle equipped with a dog seatbelt to ensure your fur baby’s safety during trips. Whether it’s a quick walk or an overnight stay, I’ll treat your dog like family! I’m an early riser and always start my day with a walk to give my dog her first potty break and exercise. On days I work from home, we make sure she gets at least four 10-minute walks to provide mental stimulation through sniffing and to help her burn off energy. We’re homebodies and don’t often leave the house—just for my work commute or a quick run (never more than 45 minutes). I’d be happy to include your fur baby in those outings too! Your fur baby can make themselves at home at our place! We provide a comfortable, safe, and loving environment where they can relax and feel part of the family. Our apartment includes a fenced patio area where pets can enjoy fresh air outside of their walks. I follow a consistent grooming routine for my own dog—brushing weekly and trimming nails monthly—and I’ll extend the same level of care to your pet upon request. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I’ll ensure they feel just as loved and attended to as my own.
“Daniela was amazing. Very responsive and in constant contact while I was away. She sent some great videos of Brady to show me how much fun he was having. The perfect backyard and the perfect pet sitter. Brady will be back.”
“Layla is truly an angel on Earth! I felt completely comfortable that Nyla was safe in her care. She sent multiple updates and the most adorable pictures. They truly treated my dog as if she were apart of their family. She handled Nyla’s clinginess like a professional and loved on her endlessly. Thank you will never be enough! I look forward to being a repeat client! Thank you again for everything Layla and family you guys have a special place in my heart for life!💯🖤”
“Ryan was the first pet sitter we ever left our dog with and he did an incredible job. He regularly communicated with us and sent us tons of photos and videos. Ryan went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and provided our fur baby with an amazing experience. We would highly recommend Ryan!”
“Flexible, friendly, and a friend of fluff! She watched Roland while we were out of town and he came back happier than he has with most other sitters! She did a great job!”
“Soel did a great job taking care of Mia. I chose him because he specializes in older and special needs dogs. He sent me pics and updates thoughout the day. She seems comfortable in his surroundings. I would utilize his services again!”
