Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dawsonville
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dawsonville
“10/10 I never felt more confident leaving my pet somewhere before. They kept me up to date with how she was doing. They sent pictures and asked questions about how I did certain things. It was a great experience not only for me but for my sweet dog. She came home happy and unfazed that I left her there for a few nights.”
“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Shilpi was a fantastic sitter! My dog tends to have anxiety so we always worry about leaving him in a new place, but Shilpi treated Oliver like one of her own. She ensured that he was eating and sleeping properly, and overall exceeded all of his needs. Shilpi also kept us updated throughout the entire sitting, sending us so many cute pictures as well as updating us about his behavior. He came back home seeming very calm and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again, thank you for the exceptional service!”
“Lidiia took amazing care of my Sheba for two weeks. She was incredibly accommodating and even extended the boarding time twice, which I deeply appreciated. She made sure Sheba was comfortable by boarding her in her own room, giving her the privacy she loves. I couldn’t have asked for better care.”
“Julie and Michael were so easy to work with when our leaving and arriving times changed. The dog had a wonderful time at their wonderful place. They took great care of Rosie and she enjoyed her stay with them. Would use them again.”
“I found Tracey extremely last minute for my dad’s dog and she was beyond kind and communicative. She sent me photos of my dad’s dog, as well as let me know how he was doing as he has bad separation anxiety! I will definitely be booking with her again! Thank you so much Tracey!”
“Goldendoodle Queisha took wonderful care of our 6-year-old Goldendoodle. We really appreciated the updates and the stress-free boarding experience for the day. We look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“They are the best!!! Tito had a long visit this time and loved every minute. She sends pictures during stay. She even gave tito a bath during his stay. Tito loves her dogs and the new friends his made durning his stay. She treats tito like her own. Today after dropping tito off tito bark when they left... so cute and made me realize that tito really does love them. It warms my heart to know that tito has a great place to go to while I'm out town.”
“Tammy does a great job with a new "visitor" he was not nervous because she made our little guy feel very comfortable. We have used Tammy's services several times and will keep doing so.”
“Always an amazing experience with Kerri! Loki always looks like she's having the time of her life in the photos Kerri sends throughout her stay. Kerri is always very responsive and professional!”
“If you are looking for a great dog sitter, look no further. We have been using Ryan for a couple of years with complete satisfaction. Our dog loves going to his house, and we are confident that he is getting the best care. Highly recommend.”

“Our 2 pups loved Lena and her beautiful home! They have secretly been barking to us that they want to go back and play some more with Lena and her cute little dogs. She is honest and caring and efficient! She will love your dogs the whole time you’re away and is terrific about sending daily photos! Highly recommend! A+++++ ??”
“Bo really seemed to enjoy his time at Reyna's place. It was ideal for him since they have a puppy for him to play with plus their sweet sons who play with him. Reyna sent pictures and updates showing what Bo was doing and how happy he was. He was worn out by the time he came home! I will definitely plan on booking with Reyna again.”
“Gretchen and Marc are the perfect dog sitters for us. They have a wonderful and safe home with a very nice fenced in back yard. They obviously enjoyed Parker and sent us pictures each day. We will be back!”
“Very responsible and great communication! I was nervous leaving my little dog Carson with someone new especially since he has separation anxiety but Yamileth put my mind at ease. She even threw in a complimentary doggy drop-off. Thank you, Yamileth!”
“Pat took great care of my Gracie. She sent regular photos & was patient with Gracie’s wild moods. She has a lovely home & a nice fenced backyard. Her dog was playful & a good companion for mine. Thank you Pat!”
“We had the pleasure of having Jillian as our dog sitter for nearly two weeks, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She provided outstanding care for our beloved Max, who seemed to have the time of his life under her watch. Jillian kept us updated with photos and videos of Max all along. Jillian's dedication to Max's well-being was evident from the start. She was attentive to his needs, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, loved. Her daily updates were a comforting touch that kept us connected to Max while we were away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in her work. We returned to a happy, healthy pup who had clearly formed a strong bond with Jillian. It's not just about watching over a pet; it's about creating a nurturing environment, and Jillian does this flawlessly. We highly recommend Jillian to any pet owner who wants peace of mind when they can't be with their furry family member. She's truly a gem, and Max is already looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“It was our first time leaving Bo with Lauren and her family. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated on him during his stay. He enjoyed his stay and came home wore out from all the fun he had with her two babies, Fynn and Gwenn! We will definitely be using them again! :)”

“As always Courtney is amazing. Our sweet boy Auggie is pretty skittish, but Courtney is patient and still makes an effort to try and get him to come out of his shell for some snuggles. She keeps us well informed and takes the cutest photos of our baby. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a pet sitter!!”
“Liberty is a fantastic and thorough sitter. She provides great updates with lots of detail, leaving us comforted knowing our cats are well-taken care of while we’re away. She goes above and beyond in every way. With each visit, we get so many videos and photos of our fur babies, which I love because I miss them dearly! She also asks great questions to ensure she provides the best care. She plays with each cat both together and individually to make sure they all get one-on-one love and attention. She truly knows how to go the extra mile. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our kitties!”
“Zoie-Lynn was so amazing! She took such great care of our dogs and cats while we were out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure our babies were well taken care of and happy!! She was great with communication and punctual with visits. This was the first time we left our new puppy Tank for a trip and she spoiled him!! I HIGHLY recommend her!!! We will be using her again.”

About: I originally worked at a boarding facility for a few months before switching over to vet-med. Ive worked in vet med since 2022!

“Malorie and Landon were absolutely amazing!! They were attentive, responsive, and showed love to my kitten like she was their own. Moonee got lots of play time, cuddles, and her active areas were kept tidy. They went above and beyond and I would definitely book them again (;”
“Britt did such a great job taking care of our kitties! We have multiple cats and an unusual situation where we have to keep them separated, so there are multiple feeding areas and litter boxes. Britt handled it all with great care. She also ensured all the kitties got some attention to help them feel OK while we were away. Great sitter!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since high school and bring decades of hands‑on experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for puppies/kittens, seniors, given diabetes shots, changed diapers, and handled everything from Sheepdogs to Chihuahuas. I have two small, friendly dogs, a senior cat, and a fully fenced backyard. If your pet is dog‑and cat‑friendly, I’m happy to host them short‑ or long‑term. I truly love animals of all kinds. I am happy to come over and check on your baby, take them for a walk (or stroll), throw a ball or play light flashing, or even daycare for them at my home. I work from home all but two days a week and can modify that as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am able to care for your baby as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule.
About: I have loved dogs my entire life. Growing up being an animal lover, some of my best memories are with my dogs throughout my childhood. Since then, I have always had dogs, and can’t imagine my life without them. I’ve helped friends and family throughout my life care for their dogs - sitting, bathing, walking, etc. We have two dogs of our own, Ollie (a two year old goldendoodle) and Layla (a 12 year old papillon.) We have had both of our dogs since they were puppies, so we are familiar with puppy training as well as the special care that senior dogs need. We consider them members of our family, and I have always hated boarding them at traditional kennels. Leaving them with a trusted sitter has given us such peace of mind when we go out of town, and I hope to provide that same peace of mind for you. I am currently a stay-at-home mom, so I will be able to have your dogs out with me during the day, and have them sleep comfortably in their crates at night or when they’re unsupervised. I will also be able to provide plenty of potty breaks and walks. We have an acre of open yard and a semi-wooded space to have plenty of supervised playtime. We have plenty of room inside and out to run and play! When your dogs are unsupervised, they will be safely in their crate in our large, open, finished basement. I provide boarding for indoor crate trained dogs, who are up to date on all vaccines including Bordetella, are house/potty trained, and on flea/tick prevention. They also must be friendly with other dogs and children.
About: I have been taking care of pets for 10+ years and have loved every minute of it. Myself and my husband are pet lovers. We have 1 dog (chocolate lab/male/ neutered) and 1 cat (female/spayed) in our home. We have 4 children who love animals and have been taught to be very gentle and respectful to pets. We will give your pets all the love and attention they need while you are away. I am a stay at home mom so your pets will be supervised throughout their stay. We are open to having your pet in our home any day of the week. We have a fenced in yard and locks on both entrances on the gates. We also love to go for walks through our very safe neighborhood. Pets will have full access indoors. We have 4 children who are very gentle and respectful of pets.
About: I had three miniature dachshunds until they all eventually passed away from old age. I treated them as if they were children. I am very in tune with an animal’s needs and emotions. Animals that I have never met before, usually take to me right away. When I cared for my father-in-law’s dog for two weeks, he did not want to return home with him….lol. I hate to see any animal suffer or be in danger. I go as far to remove turtles from the road so that they do not get hit and I have tried to save numerous injured birds in the wild. Animals, especially, dogs, provide so much unconditional love. I am a retired law enforcement officer. Thus, I have a lot of availability. I am available Sunday-Saturday 24 hours as long as I am provided at least a short notice. I have a fenced in back yard that I always ensure is securely locked at all times. I would pet proof home ensure no medications or cleaning products, etc are accessible to pets. Also, I would only feed what the owner wanted the pet to be fed.
About: I'm a dog behavior specialist, not just a sitter. I understand canine psychology and body language, helping dogs feel calm, safe, and understood. I have years of experience with anxious, fearful, reactive, and large-breed dogs. Every dog receives patient, individualized care. Working with dogs is my full-time profession, so pet care is part of my daily life—not just a side job. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, mental enrichment, and personalized care throughout the day. My home is a calm and structured environment where dogs feel safe and understood. As a dog behavior specialist, I don't just provide boarding—I help dogs build confidence, reduce stress, and practice good habits. Every dog receives individual attention based on their personality, needs, and comfort level.
“Nataly took great care of our dogs. She made sure our dogs had proper walks, get food and their treats. She kept updating us about their day. We were very pleased with the stay and will definitely use Nataly again for our future stay.”
About: As someone who personally has an animal with special needs I understand the kind of care they need! I also have experience working with animals of all ages. Along with working with animals of all ages I have both volunteered and worked at a local Humane Society. Working there entailed feeding, cleaning, and providing medical care to both cats and dogs. As a student who only works a part time job I am back and forth between campus and my house all week. With an older cat I frequently drop by my house throughout the day to check on him. Because of this I would be able to provide the same care to your animals as well. I live in a quiet neighborhood near several large parks. Because of this I will be able to not only walk dogs in my neighborhood but take them to surrounding parks to walk and play! Along with taking dogs out my home is equipped with cat friendly furniture,scratchers and enrichment.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for my parents and neighbors for the last 13 years now! I’ve expanded to friends and other family as I got older! I’m currently working Monday-Friday at an office, but working on switching to remote work so my schedule will be more flexible due to being able to work from anywhere. I have 2 dogs of my own, both I have had since they were old enough to leave their moms, one is 2 years old and one is 5 months now. My 2 year old is always ready to play and normally does really well around other dogs, but does play rough so maybe being around older dogs is not a good idea lol! The 5 month old is still getting trained and learning. I have also always grown up with dogs in the house ever since I was a baby. I can offer references of people that are not family that I have pet sat / house sat for as well.
About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of dogs—and cats—since I was 12 years old, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. My family and neighbors have always trusted me with their pets, and I treat every animal like my own. I walk dogs often, follow routines closely, and I’m comfortable giving meds if needed. Above all, I’m patient, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I work part-time while attending nursing school, which allows me a flexible schedule to provide consistent and reliable pet care. I care for my own dog every day, so I truly understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. On my off days, I’m able to complete 2–3 drop-in visits or walk your pet, and I have availability from Sunday through Thursday. Every other weekend, I’m free for the entire weekend and can commit to regular check-ins throughout the day. I genuinely love helping others—whether you’re taking a vacation, working long hours, or just need an extra hand—and I’m committed to keeping your pet’s routine steady, safe, and stress-free Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. In your home, I make sure to respect your space, keep things clean, and give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I always monitor for any changes in behavior or needs, and I keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel relaxed and loved while you’re away.

About: Previously, I worked as a kennel tech at a Vet Clinic for about 3 years! I have had experience in caring for cats and dogs (love them both). Along with working with animals at the vet clinic, I have been on Rover for over a year and also offer pet sitting outside of the app. My goal is always to offer the best care for your animals, ensuring you feel at ease when being away from them! I am currently a college student but I have a fairly flexible schedule that allows me to make time in the morning, most afternoons, and evenings. To ensure the safety of myself and the animals, I would be sure to get all of the details on what the pet needs. Such as, medical history, and knowledge of any existing problems or quirks the pet may have. For example, my own dog doesn’t like to eat right away, she likes to graze; this would be something I would want to know just in case. Care and safety are all in the details!
About: I provide care through drop-in visits and dog walking for short and extended periods of time. I always prioritize clear communication with owners and updates as needed. You will never have to worry about your pet being safe - I care for other animals like I care for my own. Offering low rates to build up my profile!! I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, so I prioritize patience, safety, and consistency to help them feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication for peace of mind if desired. As someone who values dependable and compassionate care, I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel secure, active, and loved. I currently have a pretty open schedule. However, I do prefer about a week notice in caring for you dog in order to plan accordingly. I will follow any instructions provided according to the client's preferences. I am an extremely trustworthy person with animals, as well as past & current experience caring for children.

I have years of experience with anxious, fearful, reactive, and large-breed dogs. Every dog receives patient, individualized care. Working with dogs is my full-time profession, so pet care is part of my daily life—not just a side job.

My home is a calm and structured environment where dogs feel safe and understood. As a dog behavior specialist, I don't just provide boarding—I help dogs build confidence, reduce stress, and practice good habits. Every dog receives individual attention based on their personality, needs, and comfort level.

“We had the pleasure of having Jillian as our dog sitter for nearly two weeks, and we couldn't be happier with her service. She provided outstanding care for our beloved Max, who seemed to have the time of his life under her watch. Jillian kept us updated with photos and videos of Max all along. Jillian's dedication to Max's well-being was evident from the start. She was attentive to his needs, ensuring he was well-fed, exercised, and, most importantly, loved. Her daily updates were a comforting touch that kept us connected to Max while we were away. Her professionalism and genuine love for animals shine through in her work. We returned to a happy, healthy pup who had clearly formed a strong bond with Jillian. It's not just about watching over a pet; it's about creating a nurturing environment, and Jillian does this flawlessly. We highly recommend Jillian to any pet owner who wants peace of mind when they can't be with their furry family member. She's truly a gem, and Max is already looking forward to his next stay with her!”
