Personalized care for your dog or cat - Chelsea
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Chelsea
“This was an absolute great experience! Lauren, a long with her husband and precious little girls gave my pups the best care possible! Definitely recommend Lauren!”
“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!”
“Stephanie is now Rigby and Ellie’s other mother and their son Colton is now their brother. I knew from our first phone call that Stephanie was the best sitter I’d spoken to in years. She took away every fear I had and turned it into excitement for our babies to spend time in her home. The photos and videos she sent us affirmed we made the right choice. So much love and care was given to our babies. When we went to pick them up, it was the first time ever that they kept going to the sitter to get loved on before leaving. They’re usually beyond ready to go home with us. They were sad to leave. Stephanie’s husband Patrick was also amazing with them. They got so much play time and so many snuggles. They were spoiled to bits. Stephanie lives 3 hours away from me and I happened to need a sitter out where I was traveling to but I will happily commute to have her watch my babies again even if I’m not taking a trip out her way. She is more than worth it.”
“Parker took my dog in the same day I asked and took care of her for five days. My lab is very energetic and loving and I could tell she was well taken care of. I would book with him again, amazing job and great communication!”
“Julie and Buster were the absolute best doggy sitters for our recent trip. Our little man so well taken care of and Julie was great about sending updates and pictures. Thanks again Julie! Would highly recommend her care service to anyone.”
“Jenny was great! Rosie had the best time cuddling with her and chasing her chickens! I would highly recommend using Jenny if you are in the area. We will use her again next time we bring Rosie with us for a Clemson trip!”
“Beth was fantastic! Great at communicating and very kind and accommodating. Our Maggie was provided with lots of great play space and love and care! Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”
“Amber went out of her way to make Snowflake feel at home. She even went to the store and bought her some chicken to boil because she didn’t want to eat her dog food. She was good to keep in touch and answer my questions soon after I asked them. She is a great sitter for my girl! I hope to book her to keep Snowflake again soon. Thank you, Amber!”
“We appreciate BobbieJo taking care of Murphy on her first 4-day stay. She kindly sent us pictures with captions everyday so that we knew our fur baby was well taken care of, thanks BobbieJo!”
“Haley was amazing with our dog, Atlas. This was our pup’s first stay away from home and Haley worked hard to make sure Atlas felt comfortable and loved. She sent us updates daily with pictures and videos which really helped to alleviate our own anxiety about leaving Atlas. Haley even gave Atlas a bath and brushed her out before we picked her up and that is a job in itself! We will most definitely leave our pets with Haley in the future without concern knowing they will be loved and well cared for.”
“We left our German Shepherd with Christa and her family over the 4th of July wknd for 5 days. We couldn’t have been more happy with how his stay went. We received pictures and updates daily. We know Kane had a great time with her & the kids. They were very kind and welcoming when we arrived, we knew as soon as we dropped him off that he was in great hands! Highly recommend :)”
“Lacole took such good care of my girl. She sent lots of pictures and gave me lots of updates, and I was never concerned about Girls’s well-being, and if she was being taken care of, because I knew that she was. So thankful to have found Lacole and family. I definitely will be asking her to watch Girl again. I highly recommend as you will not be disappointed 😁”
“Dessire was amazing! I booked my fur baby last minutes for the weekend and she was awesome about it. This is my first time using Rover and Dessire made the experience worth trying it out. She sent me daily updates and when my trip was extended late she was flexible about extending Nalas stay another night! Will definitely book again and recommend to everyone!”
About: I have taken care of family and friends pets ranging from cats, dogs, and fish. I love going on walks with dogs or just hanging out inside with a kitty. I have trained my dog in some basics like sit and come. I am currently out of school and have a free schedule. This makes it easier to care for your sweet animal! I am able to spend as much time as needed with your fur baby! I live in an apartment and have one very loving dog. My apartment had fenced in areas for dogs to run around in and lots of space for outdoor time. I have 2 rooms so I can keep my dog separated from your fur baby if requested. I spent lots of time with my pup and would love to spend time with yours!
“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!”
“Absolutely the best caretakers. Her daughter helped and had such a special bonding. My kitties were loved, cared for, and part of the family. Lots of updates and videos that I really appreciated. Thank you so much!! ❤️”

Cat caregivers near you - Chelsea
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. My mom gave me my first dog when I was about five years old, and I've had at least one dog by my side ever since. Today, my husband and I share our home with five wonderful dogs who are truly part of our family. They aren't just pets—they're our babies, and we love and care for them as such. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members because I feel the exact same way about my own. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, cuddle on the couch, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. When your dog is in my care, I'll treat them with the same kindness, love, and respect that I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your best friend is being cared for like family. I currently work a full-time 12-hour rotating swing shift, so my availability alternates every other week. One week, I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. The following week, I am available on Wednesday and Thursday. This schedule repeats on a rotating basis. I make every effort to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know when I'm available to care for your pets. At this time, I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services only. Because my husband and I have five dogs of our own, I am unable to provide boarding or in-home care at my residence. My focus is on giving your pets the love, attention, exercise, and care they need in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed.
“JaNiya is the best pet sitter I have ever used! She had clear and daily communication, fulfilled all of my requests, and went above and beyond by being flexible with my arrival/departure times. My cats are extremely happy with their experience and so am I! :) Will 100% be booking with her again.”
About: Hi! My name is Sammi and I have 12+ years of taking care of all varieties of animals. I currently own 2 dogs (1 aussie and 1 recently rescued great pyreneese) , 2 cats, 4 horses and 2 reptiles of my own. I have worked with rescues, shelters and non-profits in the past so I am skilled in caring for animals with all kinds of needs. I also work from home with a flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate special requests and special needs animals during the week for those that need more attention. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can best help you and your animals! I currently work from home with flexible hours so am available usually from 8am to 8pm each day, with flexibility where needed. I currently walk my own dogs a mile or two every other day, with them being walked on the property every 4 hours for exercise. I live on 8 acres with woods so plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. I currently do not have a fenced in yard, but have multiple tether setups and/or long line leashes to walk dogs on and let them roam a bit while controlled. My 2 dogs are males who are friendly with others and love to play outside in the backyard. Since I am home during the day, all animals get lots of cuddles in my house (allowed on furniture) and constant interaction of bones, toys, tug of war, toys etc. I do have separate areas that dogs can be crated in alone if preferred. I do also have 2 cats that are dog friendly but have their own room they can be closed off in if needed.
About: I’m more than just a sitter—I’m your dog’s favorite human! From energetic walks to unlimited belly rubs, I tailor each visit to your dogs unique personality. Dogs are precious, so I will take good care of your dog while you’re away! Because a pup isn’t just a pet, it’s family!! I’m currently working full time but soon part time so I will be available after 12pm Monday-Friday for your furry friends! If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. I have a fenced in back yard to take care of your furry friends, so they can play all day! I’ll also take pictures of your furry friend and keep you updated while you’re away.
About: I have been dog sitting and working with animals for over 10 years! I have worked in the veterinary field for 5 years and also breed Pomeranians. With the work I’ve done outside and inside my home, I am familiar with many species and how to properly care for pets. I have experience in day and overnight boarding, animal handling skills, giving medications, sanitizing areas, and have a dedication to pet safety. I treat each pet as if it were my own. I’m currently available full time, including weekends and holidays. This includes any time throughout the day. With enough notice, I am pretty flexible with my schedule. When caring for any pet, I always ask that the owner give me a basic routine or schedule. I find it less stressful for the pet if we are able to keep a similar schedule. I also ask that I get details of any food/snacks/treats, allergies, or medications that may need to be administered while in my care.
“Rebecca is very caring with my cats. Her reports are very detailed and sends pics so I can see how they are doing. She is also very responsive if I have any questions. My cats really like her which says a lot! She's a great sitter!”
About: Ive taken care of cats for many a year. I have my very own playful kitty at home who loves all of the creative interactive puzzles. I have experience administrating medications and applying medications, and coming up with fun ways to trick them into pills.
About: To comfort any animal brings comfort to myself. I have experience with all kinds of pets and love all animals but cats are what you’d find in my home. It’s a common misconception that cats don’t require much attention but as a domesticated animal they thrive on human companionship while also having many natural instincts to accommodate. Some require more attention than others depending on their personality. One of the most important instincts to satisfy is the need to hunt/play. There are some automatic or interactive toys that work well but for the most part the best toy is something on the end of a string attached to a wand/rod and their human’s participation. This way you can mimic the evasive movements of an actual prey for your cat to hunt. This provides exercise and stimulation and I would be happy to play with your cat(s) I’m very good at befriending anxious or less trusting cats and identifying the things that exacerbate their anxiety and finding solutions to comfort them. I also have experience administering medications. With a cat the easiest route of administration is a liquid solution mixed in with some wet food or treat or squirted into the back side of the mouth with an oral syringe. Giving a cat a pill can be more difficult but it can be done. I would wrap them in a towel or blanket, lubricate pill so it doesn’t stick to fingers or tongue, tilt head back and insert pill into back of the mouth, return head to level position and rub their throat and/or slightly blow on the nose to stimulate swallowing reflexes, then give them a treat and love them! When possible I scoop our 3 cats’ boxes after every use. I’m happy to clean and scoop your cat’s box(es) with the same vigilance. A clean litter box is one factor in ensuring a healthy and happy cat!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Chelsea
“Thomas (Tom) was wonderful with my 15-year-old pup. I am grateful. Tom made sure to keep her routine as close to home as possible. I am from Ohio and it was such a comfot to know that my dog was cared for and safe while I was with a hospitalized family member!”
“Stephanie, Patrick, and Colton were amazing. They were flexible with their time, SO great to chat with, and my dog loved his short visit. He’s already asking for more time with his new friends. Thank you thank you thank you!”
“WOW!!!! I was blown away by the level of care and love my dog received in Lauren's care!! The property is a dog's dream come true! It's fully fenced, and there were other friendly dogs for my dog to play with all day. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Lauren! I will most definitely take my dog back to her if I need a sitter again!”

“This was our first time trying Rover for day care and Beth was perfect. She had a huge fenced in yard for Myles to go out. He usually naps for 3 hours or more a day but he was having too much fun to sleep. When I picked him up, he was worn out. He went home and slept 14 hours. We will be going back to Beth.”
About: I am very attentive to all animals. I allow animals in the house, and on the furniture. I have a dog that gets along great with other animals. I am willing to feed, and groom. I am easy going, and am very easy to get along with. I am very accommodating to every need that your sweet pet may need. If there are any medications or a certain diet that must be followed, I will make sure it happens. I have references to ease your mind, and to reassure you that your baby is in good hands. I can’t wait to work with you and your sweet babies! Hope to hear from you soon! I have a schedule that is different from most. I am a paramedic, so I work 24 hours at a time and off 48 hours. I am also active and looking for things to do on my two days off. My kids and I enjoy animals so much that we would love to bring a new friend around in our home. I am willing to keep whatever schedule your baby has going as normal as possible for them. I will feed and administer medication as needed. They have free range of the house and a yard to go potty.
About: Hey there! My name is Jen, and I would love to take care of your babies for you! A bit about me: I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician of 10+ years, with the majority of my experience being in surgery/anesthesia and working in emergency triage. My husband is a Veterinarian/Surgeon with 25 years under his belt this year. He does not help with care and is not responsible for my clients, but is always available for advice and input. In addition, I am a Certified Feline Behaviorist (think Jackson Galaxy!) and thoroughly enjoy working with feline behavior concerns to help keep cats in their homes. I also have experience with basic level dog training and work with a variety of local clients on basic obedience, potty training, crate training, bite inhibition for puppies, etc. in addition to professional pet sitting, boarding, daycare, and basic grooming, I am capable and available for a variety of veterinary technician services like medication/fluid administration, insulin administration, bandage changes, nail trims, etc. I also have a solid understanding of disease and parasite transmission as well as toxicity exposure/ingestion risks and act accordingly with the pets in my care. I interned for several years at Vilas Zoo in Madison, WI and for a year at Chattanooga Zoo here in TN. My husband did a residency at Montgomery Zoo in Alabama, and we met 10 years ago when we both used to own large reptile breeding businesses, primarily working with a variety of snakes. I have also spent years as a wildlife rehabber, working primarily with rabbits, squirrels, song birds, opossums, and native reptiles. Thus in addition to dogs and cats, I am well-versed in the care and biological needs of practically every species you can think of! In addition to my professional skills, education, and experience, I have immense personal experience -- essentially from the moment I was born. My mother has run a cat rescue in Wisconsin for decades, and my grandfather did the same before her. I also have been rescuing cats for the past 20 years. My parents have always kept a wide variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to fish, reptiles, small mammals/pocket pets, and exotics, so I have been immersed in caring for almost every kind of pet you can think of since before I can remember. I also have always had an invisible neon sign above my head that only animals can see, which has made it so that all injured, young, or lost pets and wildlife find their way to me no matter where I am or what I'm doing -- even in Army basic training when I was 20, when I rescued a 10-day-old stray kitten from drowning due to a burst pipe underneath our barracks -- so I have always had animals in my care at any given moment. In our personal lives, we have two children: my 19-year-old son and our 8-year-old daughter, both of whom have been raised in animal rescue, veterinary medicine, pet care and behavior training, etc. and have extensive skills and knowledge of their own which brings me immense pride to see. We have 4 kitties and a Boston Terrier, all of whom are very comfortable with the various visiting pet friends that stay with us. They are also spayed/neutered, UTD on vaccines, negative for all common communicable diseases, and UTD on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. My boarding pets have spaces away from our pets if necessary, so interaction is not required and separation is just fine! I have never known a life without being surrounded by animals, without my clothes being covered in fur, and without being called to help care for animals in need. It is not just what I do, but who I am, down to my very core, and brings me immense joy and gratification. I cannot begin to express how much I love what I do. I love caring for others' pets and giving them the ability to be loved and well cared for when their own loving parents cannot be with them for whatever reason. I also have frequently helped clients become aware of health concerns within their pets that they may not otherwise notice, then can have their regular DVM evaluate and address it -- ranging from skin allergies to yeast infections in ears to heart murmurs to dental disease. I feel that my career position, my education, my decades of experience, my knowledge, and my skillset, not to mention having my DVM husband handy for advice and knowledge, puts me ahead of most pet caretakers. It ensures that your babies are in the safest and most experienced, well-prepared hands they could possibly be in! I currently work remote from home as an emergency triage technician and am the Manager of Performance, Training, and Team Success for GuardianVets, so I am available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day to care for pets in my home. I also have some open availability from 8am to 10pm, so I am able to do drop-ins, potty breaks, feed, scoop litter boxes, change cages/bedding, etc. 2-3 times per day before the final visit for the evening. I can make just about any request work! Care depends on the individual pet, their breed, age, personality and needs, as well as what training and rules their parents have in place for them, and whether they are boarding in my 3600 sq. ft. home or I am caring for them in your home. Pets boarding in my home or coming for Doggy Daycare must be UTD on all core vaccines for their species with verification from their veterinarian. For puppies under 16 weeks of age, they must be UTD with the most recent booster for their age. All puppies under 16 weeks or puppies who have not yet completed all 4 vaccine boosters yet will be the ONLY boarding client I keep during their duration of stay in order to best protect their developing immune system. As you would expect, my home and all supplies (crates, bowls, etc) are thoroughly sanitized after each client. Bowls are washed in the dishwasher at over 140 degrees to sanitize, and all floors and kennels are sanitized with Kennel Care (an effective veterinary-grade disinfectant against Parvo and all other infectious agents). I do also require that all dogs boarding here or coming for Doggy Daycare are either cat-friendly or cat-neutral (meaning they ignore them). We cannot board any dogs who are cat aggressive, small dog aggressive, or obsessive cat/dog chasers, due to the risk to our pets. Even though we have a separate space for boarding dogs, the risk of injury or death is too great if they were to somehow get loose and come into contact with them. I am sorry. This specifically means dogs who have a known history of active aggression toward prey animals or an excessive interest/obsession with chasing small dogs and cats. Simply being vocal toward cats or showing interest and wanting to gently investigate is not aggression and is fine. If you aren't sure how your baby would be, you are absolutely welcome to bring them over for a trial meeting on-leash to see how they do with them first! I will always text daily updates and pics to let you know how your babies are doing and what they are up to! I am an obsessive picture taker anyway, especially with animals. :) BOARDING DOGS: I require all dogs to be crate-trained or at least comfortable being in a crate for safety reasons (i.e. if I need to leave the house for any reason, they must be able to be crated). I keep large and medium sized comfortable, secure crates with comfortable washed fresh blankets for boarding dogs, or you are welcome to bring your own! Most boarding dogs are kept in our master suite so that I can supervise them at all times. On the rare occasion where we have boarding clients from two different families, we will set the other one up in my adult son's room. They are never alone or left ignored. For outgoing dogs who adapt well to any new situation and do well with other animals, they are allowed to run around the house with us, chill on the couch, hang out on the bed and watch TV, etc, unless their parents have trained them not to be on furniture, then we uphold this same rule for them here for consistency and they are offered blankets or beds on the floor. This is always under strict supervision, no unsupervised time loose. For dogs who are more nervous/anxious in new spaces, they are crated and given 3-5 intervals of supervised 1:1 time loose in my large master suite rather than the full house, and away from the cats or our dog if they may upset them. For the most nervous babies, I usually recommend remaining crated in a larger crate so they have room to move around, as they feel most secure there, with regular potty breaks. Similar to boarding at a veterinary clinic. All boarding dogs get lots of outside play time in our yard, always on a 30-foot training leash that is attached to my hand at all times. This lets them run and play and have fun while still always being under my control and security. I do not believe in using tie-outs nor do I ever leave a dog outside alone -- whether that is a client's dog or my own. Feeding is based on their own individual preferences and requirements/instructions from their pet parents. I have all necessary bowls here, just need their food provided. BOARDING CATS: For kitties, the most outgoing, friendly, and adaptable cats are set up in our daughter's bedroom so that they have a whole room with a comfy bed and someone to sleep with at night, as well as a clean sanitized litterbox (unless they bring their own). They are also provided plenty of cat-safe toys and clean blankets to lay on. I can provide litter unless your baby has a preference for a specific type/brand, which is no issue! My daughter LOVES having boarding cats with her and will play with them with wand toys, fuzzy mice, and laser pointers for as long as they are willing, and snuggle them in bed while playing Minecraft. I take care of all the care essentials and always have hands-on time with them to ensure all is well. For the more anxious/scared kitties who prefer to hide and have less interaction, they are kept either in a large multi-level cat condo with a litterbox at the bottom, or a large wire dog crate with the litterbox on one side and a plastic step stool on the other so they can sit elevated on top or hide underneath. I set these up inside my master bedroom if I have no boarding dogs, or my daughter's room if we do. They are allowed to decompress in a quiet warm space, and I will spend lots of time petting and loving on them if they would like it, otherwise I give them their space with just periodic check-ins and caretaking (litter, food, water, etc). BOARDING EXOTICS: Species-dependent, we can discuss specifics! DOGGIE DAYCARE: Exactly the same as boarding, just for shorter periods, whether that's an hour or two while you attend a doctor appt, or 8 hours while you work! PETSITTING IN YOUR HOME: I am fully able to stay 24/7 if you prefer, or I can just stay during the day and then head home around 9pm and back again the next morning. For clients who wish me to stay 24/7 in their home, I will need access to high-speed WiFi in order to work my remote job overnight, as I work third shift. I do not have to be isolated from pets for this job, they can hang out with me. :) While I am in your home, I can sleep either on the couch or in a guest bedroom if you have one and are comfortable, either is fine with me. For couches, I will bring my own pillow and blanket. I will not do any cooking or anything that requires making a mess or cleaning up, and guarantee your home will be left in the same condition/state it was when I arrived, and will take any trash with me when I go. Your pets will sleep wherever they are used to sleeping, so if that's with a person, they are very welcome to sleep with me! I can let them out every 1-2 hours, including while working for puppies and seniors who need overnight potty breaks. DROP-IN VISITS: For pets who stay at home and have me come over for care, I usually come over 2-3x per day for potty breaks, play breaks, a walk, meal times, litter scooping, cage cleaning, etc. and overall health checks to ensure all is well. I will always treat them as if they were my own babies and ensure they get lots of love and exercise to burn off that energy during the short time we have!
About: You can see our reviews in our other profile: https://www.rover.com/sit/janirb12988 🇺🇸 We speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese! 🇲🇽 ¡Hablamos inglés, español y portugués! 🇧🇷 Falamos inglês, espanhol e português! Hi there! 👋 We’re Kaio, Jan and Anik - three lifelong dog lovers who simply enjoy spending our days surrounded by happy pups. Our goal is to give every dog a wonderful experience in a safe, fully supervised environment where they can play, relax, and connect with nature - while giving owners peace of mind through open, caring communication. Among us, we have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. Anik also has a background working in professional dog boarding settings, where she cared for groups of dogs at a time and learned to read their behavior and body language with ease. Our home has a large, securely fenced yard that’s perfect for exploring, running, and sunbathing. Inside, dogs are welcome everywhere - because to us, they’re part of the family. 🐾 We share our space with two sweet resident dogs: a playful 1-year-old Golden Retriever and a calm, gentle 11-year-old Chow Chow. They love meeting new friends and know how to match the energy of any guest - whether it’s joining in a game or simply relaxing side by side. We know how hard it can be to be away from your pup, so we make sure you always feel connected. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages - the kind we’d love to get if our dogs were staying somewhere new. At the end of the day, our goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and happy - just like they do at home. ❤️ In 2025, we've cared for over 330 dogs, with 114+ repeat clients who keep coming back for our personalized, loving care! We're excited to expand from our half-acre home to a private 6+ acre retreat in Silver Creek, GA—a perfect mix of open cleared fields for romping and wooded trails for adventure. This allows us to build dedicated play yards and special zones just for dogs. What sets us apart: A completely cage-free home where pups roam freely indoors and in secure outdoors—no crates ever! We cap groups at 6 compatible dogs (matched by age, size, temperament, and energy), ensuring tons of individual attention, play, and cuddles. Experienced with all ages—including puppies and senior dogs (meds, mobility help, and cozy comfort). Stays feature daily exercise, enrichment, photo/video updates, and endless love. Your dog will feel right at home here—we can't wait to meet them! I work full-time from home. Pet care is the heart of my daily routine—it's my full-time passion! As a dedicated home-based sitter, I'm here 24/7 with the dogs, structuring our days around their happiness and needs. A typical day starts with morning potty breaks, breakfast, and energetic play sessions in our secure yards. Midday brings walks on trails, enrichment activities (like puzzle toys or training games), and plenty of cuddles. Afternoons are for supervised group play (always small and compatible groups), rest time, dinner, and evening wind-down with more outdoor time or cozy indoor relaxation. To ensure personalized care and a safe, stress-free environment, we keep our groups small. Let’s chat about how we can provide the best care for your pup!
“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.”
“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!!!!”

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!
About: I’ve had many years of experience with pets of all sizes! I’ve done dog walking, drop in visits, overnight in home boarding, and am experienced in administering medications. Feel free to message me to see if I’m the right fit for your family. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can do drop in visits easily throughout the day as needed or in home care for your pet. I have a bottom floor condo with an unfenced yard. I take my own dog out leashed throughout the day. There’s a bigger yard area for your pet to exercise while leashed, plenty of woods to sniff along, and lots of fun routes for walks throughout the neighborhood.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. My mom gave me my first dog when I was about five years old, and I've had at least one dog by my side ever since. Today, my husband and I share our home with five wonderful dogs who are truly part of our family. They aren't just pets—they're our babies, and we love and care for them as such. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members because I feel the exact same way about my own. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, cuddle on the couch, or just needs a little extra patience and attention, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. When your dog is in my care, I'll treat them with the same kindness, love, and respect that I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your best friend is being cared for like family. I currently work a full-time 12-hour rotating swing shift, so my availability alternates every other week. One week, I am available on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. The following week, I am available on Wednesday and Thursday. This schedule repeats on a rotating basis. I make every effort to keep my Rover calendar up to date so you always know when I'm available to care for your pets. At this time, I offer drop-in visits and dog walking services only. Because my husband and I have five dogs of our own, I am unable to provide boarding or in-home care at my residence. My focus is on giving your pets the love, attention, exercise, and care they need in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed.
About: I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t had at least 4 or 5 dogs around me. My family calls me a dog whisperer. Me and dogs just.. understand each other… I think they read the “grandparent” energy I have for them! Every dog loves me because I take care of them and listen to them. I have a beautiful 5 acres and the house for them to stay in and also a 1,200 square foot air conditioned clean garage for them to play in as well as a good yard and a perfect place to walk them if anyone likes their dogs to have extra walks. I’d love to take care of your babies for any reason! I’m pretty flexible so just let me know what you have in mind. I’m available all day every day pick up or drop off. Anytime any day. Dog boarding and grooming and training is what I do and no one does it better! I care for all animals as if they were my own babies. Animals have this pure energy that comes from them and we just understand each other. I love playing with and being around the animals and they love to be around me the same way. I make sure to be careful about leaving dogs unattended I always assure safety first. But a close second to safety is freedom. They love feeling free. And I offer them that safely.
“JaNiya was amazing with my dog, Goose! I can always tell if he’s been well taken care of by how calm he is when I return from work. She even gave some love to my cat, too!”

About: Hi! My name is Sammi and I have 12+ years of taking care of all varieties of animals. I currently own 2 dogs (1 aussie and 1 recently rescued great pyreneese) , 2 cats, 4 horses and 2 reptiles of my own. I have worked with rescues, shelters and non-profits in the past so I am skilled in caring for animals with all kinds of needs. I also work from home with a flexible schedule so I am able to accommodate special requests and special needs animals during the week for those that need more attention. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can best help you and your animals! I currently work from home with flexible hours so am available usually from 8am to 8pm each day, with flexibility where needed. I currently walk my own dogs a mile or two every other day, with them being walked on the property every 4 hours for exercise. I live on 8 acres with woods so plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. I currently do not have a fenced in yard, but have multiple tether setups and/or long line leashes to walk dogs on and let them roam a bit while controlled. My 2 dogs are males who are friendly with others and love to play outside in the backyard. Since I am home during the day, all animals get lots of cuddles in my house (allowed on furniture) and constant interaction of bones, toys, tug of war, toys etc. I do have separate areas that dogs can be crated in alone if preferred. I do also have 2 cats that are dog friendly but have their own room they can be closed off in if needed.

About: I have been dog sitting and working with animals for over 10 years! I have worked in the veterinary field for 5 years and also breed Pomeranians. With the work I’ve done outside and inside my home, I am familiar with many species and how to properly care for pets. I have experience in day and overnight boarding, animal handling skills, giving medications, sanitizing areas, and have a dedication to pet safety. I treat each pet as if it were my own. I’m currently available full time, including weekends and holidays. This includes any time throughout the day. With enough notice, I am pretty flexible with my schedule. When caring for any pet, I always ask that the owner give me a basic routine or schedule. I find it less stressful for the pet if we are able to keep a similar schedule. I also ask that I get details of any food/snacks/treats, allergies, or medications that may need to be administered while in my care.

I’m currently working Monday through Friday 6:00am to 2:00pm, I get an hour lunch from 11:00 to 12:00pm so I could check on animals during lunch and then of course be with them at all times outside of this work schedule, I’m off Saturday and Sunday.

“This was an absolute great experience! Lauren, a long with her husband and precious little girls gave my pups the best care possible! Definitely recommend Lauren!”
“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!”
“Stephanie is now Rigby and Ellie’s other mother and their son Colton is now their brother. I knew from our first phone call that Stephanie was the best sitter I’d spoken to in years. She took away every fear I had and turned it into excitement for our babies to spend time in her home. The photos and videos she sent us affirmed we made the right choice. So much love and care was given to our babies. When we went to pick them up, it was the first time ever that they kept going to the sitter to get loved on before leaving. They’re usually beyond ready to go home with us. They were sad to leave. Stephanie’s husband Patrick was also amazing with them. They got so much play time and so many snuggles. They were spoiled to bits. Stephanie lives 3 hours away from me and I happened to need a sitter out where I was traveling to but I will happily commute to have her watch my babies again even if I’m not taking a trip out her way. She is more than worth it.”
“Parker took my dog in the same day I asked and took care of her for five days. My lab is very energetic and loving and I could tell she was well taken care of. I would book with him again, amazing job and great communication!”
“Julie and Buster were the absolute best doggy sitters for our recent trip. Our little man so well taken care of and Julie was great about sending updates and pictures. Thanks again Julie! Would highly recommend her care service to anyone.”
“Jenny was great! Rosie had the best time cuddling with her and chasing her chickens! I would highly recommend using Jenny if you are in the area. We will use her again next time we bring Rosie with us for a Clemson trip!”
“Beth was fantastic! Great at communicating and very kind and accommodating. Our Maggie was provided with lots of great play space and love and care! Would highly recommend to anyone!”
“I was very impressed with how well Terry took care of Buster. You could tell she really loves animals. He loved being with her! She took him for walks and spent a lot of time with him on her back porch. She asked lots of questions to ensure Buster was getting everything he needed. She continually sent me little messages about their day and adorable photos. I will definitely use her as a sitter again. Thank you so much Terry!”
“We appreciate BobbieJo taking care of Murphy on her first 4-day stay. She kindly sent us pictures with captions everyday so that we knew our fur baby was well taken care of, thanks BobbieJo!”
“Haley was amazing with our dog, Atlas. This was our pup’s first stay away from home and Haley worked hard to make sure Atlas felt comfortable and loved. She sent us updates daily with pictures and videos which really helped to alleviate our own anxiety about leaving Atlas. Haley even gave Atlas a bath and brushed her out before we picked her up and that is a job in itself! We will most definitely leave our pets with Haley in the future without concern knowing they will be loved and well cared for.”
“Lacole took such good care of my girl. She sent lots of pictures and gave me lots of updates, and I was never concerned about Girls’s well-being, and if she was being taken care of, because I knew that she was. So thankful to have found Lacole and family. I definitely will be asking her to watch Girl again. I highly recommend as you will not be disappointed 😁”
“Dessire was amazing! I booked my fur baby last minutes for the weekend and she was awesome about it. This is my first time using Rover and Dessire made the experience worth trying it out. She sent me daily updates and when my trip was extended late she was flexible about extending Nalas stay another night! Will definitely book again and recommend to everyone!”
About: I have taken care of family and friends pets ranging from cats, dogs, and fish. I love going on walks with dogs or just hanging out inside with a kitty. I have trained my dog in some basics like sit and come. I am currently out of school and have a free schedule. This makes it easier to care for your sweet animal! I am able to spend as much time as needed with your fur baby! I live in an apartment and have one very loving dog. My apartment had fenced in areas for dogs to run around in and lots of space for outdoor time. I have 2 rooms so I can keep my dog separated from your fur baby if requested. I spent lots of time with my pup and would love to spend time with yours!
“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!”
“Absolutely the best caretakers. Her daughter helped and had such a special bonding. My kitties were loved, cared for, and part of the family. Lots of updates and videos that I really appreciated. Thank you so much!! ❤️”
“Lillian and Gwen are phenomenal with our 3 boxers... it was such a relief that they brought them in and treated them as if they were their own. Plenty of pictures and updates whenever we asked. Our 3 can be pretty rowdy sometimes, being young almost 2yos, lol. The yard was well fenced and they had lots of room for them to run and play. We are so grateful to have you both taking care of them, thank you again.”
“Candace is so sweet. She took care of Jersey like he was her own. He was so loved he almost didn’t want to leave lol. She sent updates and communicated daily. My son felt his best friend, Jersey, was treated like family. I would recommend her to anyone!!! Can’t wait to use her again. Amazing!!”
