“This was my puppy’s first time away from me and she was very shy and probably nervous. Judith was so sweet and understanding with her. She was constantly communicating with me and sending pictures and videos. This was also my first experience with Rover and it was a great one.”

“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”

“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”

“Jelisa was absolutely amazing! She got my super shy & anxious Dachshund to come of out his shell and interact with her fur babies comfortably and was very attentive to his needs. Will absolutely be booking again!”

“Heather is a kind, dog-loving sitter. She was responsive to all texts before and during the stay. I also received daily photos and brief status updates on Essie. I felt Essie was in good hands during our week away, and this helped me enjoy my vacation. Definitely would use Heather again.”

“Kristine was an excellent host to our little Olive. She gave us photo updates and took great care of her. When we're back in the area, we'd definitely use Kristine again! :-)”

“Rex had a wonderful stay with Holly. I could tell that Holly really loves dogs and Rex took to her right away. Holly sent pictures and gave us a progress report. We will definitely be booking with Holly again soon.”

“Ashley was wonderful with our girls. She read their personalities perfectly, and sent lots of photos during their stay. We very much appreciated her care and attention. When back in the area we would definitely love to have our pups stay with her.”

“Jennifer did a fantastic job of taking care of our puppy and accommodating us last minute. She responded quickly and was very informative! I'm so happy we have found her. We will, without a doubt, continue to utilize her services. An added bonus, she has 2 dogs so it was nice that Duke was able to socialize and learn from the others! Lol”

About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I currently care for both a large dog and a small Chihuahua, so I understand their different needs. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, medications, and providing plenty of love and companionship. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and potty breaks. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can follow your pet’s regular routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

“Melanie was super accommodating and helpful for our wedding day dog care! Worked out very well for her to pop over to our wedding venue for some brief dog pictures. Very quick to respond and reliable!”

“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.
“Yvonne took wonderful care of our kitten in her home. She sent us pictures and updates. Her home was lovely and she was super nice. We would definitely board with her again.”


About: Hi! I understand how important your pet is to you. We have two yorkies, Tyson and Wyatt, that are our children! We provide a caring, safe and active home for pups. Because we have two small dogs, we do prefer to sit for small dogs, under 15 pounds, to ensure everyone is safe. Our yorkies have gotten along with all dogs that they have been around. They love to play but quickly learn their boundaries. They are spoiled rotten with attention and your dog will be too! I work from home full time so there is usually someone always here to let them outside several times a day. If we go out we do put our pups in a pen I do keep my pups in a pen while I work and when we leave the home to ensure they are safe... and don't have accidents in the home!
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”

“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”

“Highly recommend! My cat was looked after so well and in every photo sent she looked so happy and taken care of when I had to be away for a few days. If you need someone who will look after your cat and provide them extra love I highly recommend these sitters!”

“Katia was wonderful! She kept our kitty lots of company, took great care of her and made sure she was loved and played with. She was great at keeping me updated and I have complete peace of mind while we were gone :)”


About: Growing up with cats, I've learned how they behave, act, and want attention. Whether that be giving it some space, or playing, I'm there to give it exactly what it needs. I believe that cats are around to comfort us, but also to be comforted by their humans. They need us as much as we need them. I'm here to provide the means necessary to keep your cat happy and playful.

“Kaylee was wonderful, when we met I could tell she has had a lot of good experience with working with animals. We've never used Rover before and were nervous about leaving our babies behind for the week, but it went wonderfully. We looked forward to getting the daily updates with the pictures. If you're on the fence about using Rover, definitely do it, and if you can book Kaylee she is awesome! We will definitely use her again when we travel!”


“Raven is so awesome and my cats loved spending time with her! She goes above and beyond and genuinely loves and cares for the animals she watches! Can't wait to book again and have total peace of mind that my babies are well taken care of while I'm away :) Thanks Raven!!!!!”


“I interviewed a couple people for drop-in services for my cat, Keesa and decided to book Landry because Keesa didn't hide from her! They were comfortable with each other, and as a cat mom, that's important because it means Keesa wouldn't be stressed. Landry was good with her. She texted me every time she came in and sent pictures. I recommend Landry, and would request again if needed.”

“Nicole is the best sitter. She always sends the cutest most playful pictures and keeps me updated on what Sylvester and her did that day. I can count on her to show up at a consistent time each morning and her communication is great.”


About: I have cat sat for a few years now, I’ve been a reliable person my family and friends can go to whenever they need someone to watch, play with, feed, and cuddle their fur babies. I absolutely love cats and jump at every opportunity I get to be with them.

About: Iv grown up my whole life caring for animals. I started when id help my grandmothers with their dogs and eventually ended up with a family dog as well which I helped without the most. That was until I got my very own pet cat and have been taking care of her by myself for years. I loved animals so much I have devoted my college experience to studying marine biology. Right now I am at college for summer conditioning since I am on the basketball team. I have practice from 9-11/30 so I don’t start drop-ins till noon but after noon I’m happy to come visit as much as you would like. I listen to you. Whatever you need or want me to do for your furry friend i am happy to ablige. I want to give your the best experience its owners are away.

My priority is caring for your furbabes above all. I only ask for a 48hour notice because I often have to turn other clients away when one is already booked. I unfortunately do not offer boarding. I am able to accommodate furbabes with special needs pets as I have a Pyrenees with hip dysplasia. Because of my medical background I am more than comfortable and experienced administering injections. I have a special place in my heart caring for geriatric or injured furbabes- I take extra time with them free of charge. I also am able to help care for small/ large breed pups and cats. I also have experience with livestock and spend extra time with gentle giants such as horses- I grew up in the Midwest and was always helping out on the farm

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12! Neighbors, friends, and family relied on me to watch, walk and feed their pets. As a fitness enthusiast I enjoy daily walks and runs, especially when I can bring a furry friend along! I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can take breaks as needed to go for walks, feeding and play time any day, all day. I have an apartment home that is pet friendly with a friendly cat of my own! I can easily separate my cat from your fur baby as needed. There is a gated dog area within walking distance from my home!
About: I have always loved animals and caring for them. I started animal care in highschool starting with pet sitting moving into shelter work. I really enjoyed being able to play with and care for animals of all kinds. Though I have a special love for cats, having three of my own. I truly just enjoy getting to meet and spend time with different animals. I also love being able to get in some exercise of my own while going on walks with dogs.. I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare. Which gives me plenty of free time to fill! I look forward to filling it with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in yard to spend plenty of outside time in safely with your pet. All dogs must be cat friendly. We are no strangers to couch snuggles too!
About: I love dogs. I have been doing drop-ins and dog walking for two years. I got on Rover just recently. The time I spend on a drop-in or walk with your dog is 100% about them. Love is always a two-way street with dogs, and I enjoy bonding with them and caring for them. I work for myself so I have flexibility I just need a day's notice to set up a home visit. I enjoy walking and am walking everyday and would enjoy walking your dog. I currently do visits to the dogs place of residence and I accommodate whatever the particular dog is accustomed to in a loving way. It is very important to me that the dog feels comfortable where they're at as well as with me. This hasn't ever been an issue.

About: I’ve been around cats since I was a kid about six years old. I love cats just as much as I love dogs. I stated before my very first dream job as a kid was to be a veterinarian. I love to take care of cats. I love their demeanor. I love how different they are than dogs how they love in their own way they love on their terms. I love the different personalities of cats. I know that you can’t rough house with a cat the way you with rough house with most dogs. I know the requirements of taking care of a cat that include litter boxes, feeding them a different food than dogs eat and a different way of taking care of cats than dogs.

“Yvonne was gracious in offering to watch Max and Raven on short notice as I had an opportunity to visit family staying in her area. This was the dogs first time utilizing Rover and staying with a sitter. I am very grateful they were so well-cared for and comforted to be in her lovely home rather than confined to a small hotel room for 6 hours. I highly recommend Yvonne.”

“Jessica took excellent care of our toy poodle Victor. Victor is normally shy and anxious when he’s away from home, but I could tell from the pictures that Jessica shared that he was having a great time and was being taken care of. We’ll definitely be using Jessica again!”

“I would highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for daycare for their dog. She was very flexible working with our schedule as we were visiting St Simon Island. Communication was great and our lab Tilly was happy and well cared for.”

About: Hi there! I absolutely love animals of all kinds and have spent years turning that love into hands-on experience.

About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.

“Kariah is absolutely fantastic! My dog was so happy and well taken care of each time. She's is amazing and I would recommend her to anyone!! Thank you so much. Ully is a giddy doggo and made new friends. I can't express my appreciation enough!!”


About: Hi! I'm Haley, and I've been caring for animals for over 11 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and even exotic pets such as tarantulas and scorpions. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine care, maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and loves playtime or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to earn their trust with patience and positive interactions. Friends and family often tell me their pets warm up to me quickly, and I've had dogs become attached to me after only a couple of visits. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine, so fitting your pet into my schedule comes easily! I have open availability and can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care. I care for my own pet every day, including maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and monitoring their health and behavior. For example, my pet scorpion is fed twice a week, and I mist his enclosure twice daily to maintain proper humidity. Caring for animals has become second nature to me, and I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. Whether your pet has a strict routine or just needs extra love and companionship while you're away, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe. I believe the best pet care starts with respecting each pet's individual routine. Every animal is different, so I make it a priority to follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any house rules exactly as you've outlined. My goal is to keep your pet's day as familiar and stress-free as possible while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and potty breaks while also keeping food and water fresh and cleaning up after your pet. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I'm caring for a pet in my own home (when applicable), I'll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable. I'll continue to follow their normal routine and make sure they receive the same level of care, affection, and supervision they would receive at home. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
About: I have been around or taking care of dogs since I was about six years old. I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. My first dream job was to be a veterinarian because of my love for animals, but dogs more than anything else. I love dogs, and I understand that dogs have their own personalities their own emotions their own likes their own dislikes and different ways to be cared for just like humans do.i treat dogs with respect and I treat dogs with love. I never call dogs “ it” I call them by their name and gender like they should be addressed. I’ve also volunteered more than once at K9 battle buddies. I know how to adapt to different dogs with different demeanors. I am a military veteran with more time on my hands than I used to have so why not spend this time taking care of walking, watching and playing with animals that I love If a dog is in my home, I will take care of them as if this dog is mine as if I brought this dog into my family. I will treat the dog love I will protect him or her as if they are my own. If I’m in the home of the owner, I’ll respect the dogs home as if I’m babysitting a child. I will respect the home of the owner as well.

“This was my puppy’s first time away from me and she was very shy and probably nervous. Judith was so sweet and understanding with her. She was constantly communicating with me and sending pictures and videos. This was also my first experience with Rover and it was a great one.”

“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”

“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”

“Heather is a kind, dog-loving sitter. She was responsive to all texts before and during the stay. I also received daily photos and brief status updates on Essie. I felt Essie was in good hands during our week away, and this helped me enjoy my vacation. Definitely would use Heather again.”

“Kristine was an excellent host to our little Olive. She gave us photo updates and took great care of her. When we're back in the area, we'd definitely use Kristine again! :-)”

“Rex had a wonderful stay with Holly. I could tell that Holly really loves dogs and Rex took to her right away. Holly sent pictures and gave us a progress report. We will definitely be booking with Holly again soon.”

“Ashley was wonderful with our girls. She read their personalities perfectly, and sent lots of photos during their stay. We very much appreciated her care and attention. When back in the area we would definitely love to have our pups stay with her.”

“Melanie was super accommodating and helpful for our wedding day dog care! Worked out very well for her to pop over to our wedding venue for some brief dog pictures. Very quick to respond and reliable!”

“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”

“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
“Ashley was great to deal with throughout the entire process - from initial contact up until we picked up our fur baby. She was very professional and showed genuine concern for the needs of our dog. I would highly recommend her services.”
