“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lori and the care she has given my puppy, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured that he was in great hands. She kept me updated daily with messages and pictures of his activities, and it was clear that Frankie was happy, relaxed, and truly enjoying himself — he looked like he was right at home. What meant the most to me was her kindness and flexibility during a very stressful time for me. I am currently in the hospital recovering from back surgery, and at the last minute my doctor told me I needed to stay another night. I reached out to Lori hoping it wouldn’t be a problem, and she immediately reassured me not to worry and that Frankie was perfectly fine staying another night. That simple kindness gave me so much peace of mind while I’m here recovering. Lori has been so attentive and loving with him — honestly, she spoiled him! It means the world to know that Frankie is being cared for and shown the same love and attention that I give him at home. I am incredibly grateful for Lori. Frankie absolutely has a permanent sitter whenever we need one in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pet cared for like family.”
“Ken and Sam were amazing. This was our first time boarding our pup for more than a night and she had a great time. They sent photos and videos several times a day which made us very happy knowing our baby was being well taken care of and playing with new dog (and human!) friends. They were very responsive to any messages and worked with us on drop off/pick up time. 10/10 will definitely book again.”
“Nala was right at home her first visit at Eden's. I was not worried at all the whole time I was out of town. Eden sent pictures and I knew Nala was well taken care of. Her new home away from home.”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter & I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Candace again. She answered all questions I had and seems to really care about the pets in her care. She did an awesome job with providing updates and photos throughout his stay. Thanks again!”
“Kelli was amazing. I had to leave my dog for almost a week and hate leaving him for that long but I knew he was in good hands. She sent lots of pictures and updates. We’ll definitely use her again!”
“She was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She kept me updated and sent plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even took her to the pet store and got her a toy—such a thoughtful and sweet gesture! I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

“Solomon had a great time! Unique was communicative, patient, and made dropoff and pickup easy. She has a Lab herself so was well aware of how to care for him. It's nerve wracking to leave your puppy when you have to travel, but I'm so glad we found Unique. She put me at ease so that I was able to focus on my trip. Thank you, Unique!”
“Langston always does a great job of taking care of my energetically, timid Airedale. I used to come to him months ago and have returned for some great customer service. You’d be missing out if you didn’t book with him and his dog Moscoe.”
“This was my first time using a sitter Veronica was awesome treating my French bulldog with love concerned about her she sent pictures every day while I was away. Give me an update if she was eating or not she goes outside and play and Onyx enjoyed her stay. I would recommend her over and over again. She takes time with the puppies.”
“Tobie is the absolute best when it comes to taking care of your baby. She watched our fig Roscoe for the first time for 5 days and the amount of pictures and videos she sent my kids loved it. My dog became her watch dog wherever she went he went. She will always have us as a client. THANK U AGAIN”
“Jeronay was great with Chase. She was attentive to his needs and follows whatever instructions given to her for him. She cares for him as if it was her own pet. He actually didn't want to leave! Lol”
“Sol was a great host to my dog, my dog is somewhat reactive and he was able to calm and situate her, and settle her in nicely; if you’re in the Atlanta area I highly recommend you choose this place if your very picky when it comes to your fur baby”
“Adrienne was awesome with our dogs! They felt totally at ease with her. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which made us feel great knowing they were happy and well cared for. They got plenty of attention, and we could tell they were having a great time. We'll be coming back to Adrienne for our future pet-sitting needs. :-)”
“Angela was great! When I returned to get my fur baby, he was happy, which lets me know he had a good time and was well taken care of. She also communicated with me about everything and I appreciated that so much.”
“Serria was wonderful and took exceptional care of our baby girl. We were concerned about how Zhuri would do with other animals, especially cats, but she got along well with Serria’s two dogs and cat. Serria sent daily photos of Zhuri bonding and relaxing with her eldest dog. One picture showed Zhuri outside in her spacious, fenced yard, where they had plenty of room to run and play. It was clear Zhuri felt comfortable in her home. Serria cared for our sweet girl as if she were her own. She was kind, responsive, and made the entire experience stress-free. Zhuri was in excellent hands with someone who clearly loves animals, and we truly appreciated the care and attention she received. Highly recommend!”

Petra took great care of my sweet girl and kept me updated every step of the way. I would definitely book her again for her services and recommend her care to my friends. Thank you Petra!”
“Christina was absolutely fantastic! Will book with her again if I can! When approached with our problem (out of town for the holidays, 4 cats and an empty home) she was quick to come to an affordable solution. She helped us with feeding, cleaning, helping with watering some stressed plants, above and beyond! Thank you!”
“Sherry is amazing patient respectful and trustworthy I highly recommend her services . Trust me I don’t trust Anybody with with Ms.Lucy but Sherry has definitely earn my trust.”
“Leylah is awesome. Needed someone after something came up very last minute and found her on the rover app. She came by to get the key on very little notice. She always showed up at the same time and did an all around excellent job. And the way I know she did an excellent job is that by the end of the stay she sent pictures of her petting my cat. That’s how I know because my cat doesn’t come out for anyone but me. No other cat sitter (no matter how many times they have come) has seen her let alone pet her. I told her “you won’t even see the cats”. If she has the cat’s seal of approval she must have a magic touch”
“Lori was absolutely amazing! Gave me multiple updates and pictures a day and made sure my baby girl wasn’t lonely while we were gone! Highly recommend, and will absolutely be using her services again!”
“Valeria has done such a good job looking after our kitty cats. She is punctual, dependable and caring. You can tell that she really loves animals. We definitely plan to use her servuces again.”

“I can’t recommend Jessica enough as a pet sitter! This was my cat’s first time with a pet sitter, and I was a bit nervous about how he would handle the change. From the moment I met Jessica, I could tell he was in good hands. She was incredibly attentive and kind, and it was clear that my cat felt both loved and safe under her care. The updates she provided were reassuring and showed just how much she cared. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her!”

“Nmantendi was so great! She sent pictures and videos of our pup while we were away, and kept in touch with us whenever we needed her. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve had a dog since a child, but about 5 years ago I began volunteering taking care of puppies at a local rescue in Nashville. From there, I adopted my first dog Carmelo, who I had for two years before epilepsy unfortunately shortened his life. After I healed, I began fostering dogs of all ages, mostly older just due to the need being higher. I found I have such a strong love for dogs that most don’t even reach. I wanted to be able to love old dogs who needed homes in their last days so I adopted Peppa who stayed with me until cancer won the fight. I still occasionally foster but since losing my full-time job, I have had to move to this side of things. I have pretty open availability right now. I am open for overnights. If I am able to go do some delivery for a few hours in between, that is so helpful. I follow directions to a T whether inside or out of the clients home. Providing the dog comfort, safety and familiarity is my top priority. I am not trying to raise or train your dogs. I just want to let them know that when you’re gone, they are always in good hands.

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. IMPORTANT: I only take pets from one family at a time. I want to enjoy your dog. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.
About: Pets have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals since childhood; from dogs and cats to rats, hamsters, snakes, birds, and more. My experience with so many different animals has taught me that every pet has their own personality, routine, and unique needs. I’ve been pet sitting for 10+ years, and I genuinely treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention, a calm and cozy environment, medication, special routines, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. When your pets are with me, you can have peace of mind knowing they’ll receive lots of love, patience, attention, and individualized care. I’m home full time, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and companionship. I love being able to give pets the exercise, interaction, and care they need so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play, exercise, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, medications, and special instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship. In my home, your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have 2 sweet dogs and 2 cats to keep your fur baby company!
“Langston was wonderful with my pup! From the first meet & greet, he made me (and Lela) feel totally comfortable. She had such a great time with his dog Moscoe and came home happy and relaxed, conked out the rest of the night. Communication was also great: I loved getting photo updates and seeing how well she was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience, and I’d absolutely bring her back again. Highly recommend!”
“Kayla was amazing. Her energy was great and Kasper loved her so much that he wasn't ready to leave. She also gave videos and pictures during his stay. He is all tuckered out and ready for bed early. 😊”

About: I’ve cared for animals since childhood and previously worked as a dog groomer. I’m now teaching my daughter how to responsibly care for pets, and she absolutely loves animals. Together, we’d be happy to treat your pet with the same love, attention, and care as our own. I work from home and homeschool my daughter so we will have plenty of time to care for your pet full time. Long walks along the beltline or local park is part of our daily routine. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions. Pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and playtime throughout the day so they feel engaged and cared for, not stressed or alone. I make sure they always have fresh water, a comfortable resting space, and a low-stress atmosphere. I also limit exposure to any hazards and keep a close eye on behavior and wellbeing. My goal is for every pet to feel like they’re staying in a second home, not just being watched.

I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.
About: I used to be a dog mom to a mini poodle, unfortunately he passed away at 17 years 🥹. I have experience managing reactive dogs. My fur baby was a rescue. I love my time with dogs because they are just pure joy! I work from home 4 days out of the week (7am-4pm). I typically commute to work on Wednesdays. My job is pretty relaxed and allows me to tend to any additional needs. I’m pretty flexible overall just need notice ahead of time. I am very trustworthy and customer service oriented. I like to ensure I know everything about the household I’m going to and any details about the fur baby that I should be aware of. My goal is to keep the fur baby safe and the owner happy.

About: My Personal Approach & Passion for Pets My genuine love for animals is what drives my pet care style. I am patient, trustworthy, and naturally observant, making it easy for me to connect with pets of all temperaments. For me, pet sitting isn’t just a task; it is about providing a warm, low-stress environment where your animals feel entirely safe, happy, and treated like family while you are away. What Sets Me Apart:I offer a highly adaptive environment for all pets and life stages, including dogs, cats, and puppies. I easily handle the high energy and training support needed for playful youngsters, as well as the gentle comfort, slow pace, and strict medication schedules required for senior companion animals. I customize my daily routine to mirror yours, ensuring your pet enjoys a seamless transition with plenty of interactive play, cozy naps, and affection. Pet care is the main focus of my daily routine because I work from home full-time. This flexibility allows me to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks every 2 to 3 hours, and interactive playtime throughout the day. My weekly schedule is highly consistent, meaning your dogs, cats, or puppies will enjoy a reliable routine with plenty of companionship and zero long periods spent alone. I create a safe, pet-proofed environment where your dogs, cats, or puppies are treated like family. They have full access to comfortable resting spots, fresh water, and supervised play. I follow your exact feeding schedules, crate routines, and potty windows to keep their days consistent and stress-free. In Your Home (Drop-Ins/Sitting): I respect your space while prioritizing your pet's comfort. During visits, I handle feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes, and administering any required medications. I make sure to include plenty of quality playtime or belly rubs, and I always send you photo updates so you know they are safe and happy.
About: Hi! I’m Antonio, and I’ve had dogs for all 29 years of my life. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I’ve always loved. My best friend is Boss, my 6-year-old Pit Bull. Raising him has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’m returning to Rover after taking a few years away, and this time my goal is different. I’m building a professional pet care business that I plan to grow into my full-time career. That means every booking matters, and every dog in my care is treated like family. My home offers plenty of space for dogs to feel comfortable, and I have a large yard where they can safely enjoy supervised playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Whether your pup is here for daycare, overnight boarding, a walk, or a drop-in visit, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, and care. I know how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so communication is a priority. I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and having a great time. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around dogs. My mornings begin after I drop my son off at preschool, giving me plenty of time throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and one-on-one attention. In the afternoons, I’m away for about two hours while coaching football nearby, but I’m less than 10 minutes from home and plan my schedule to ensure every dog is comfortable and well cared for before and after practice. My evenings are dedicated to spending time with the dogs in my care, making sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and a consistent routine. I take pet care seriously and make it a priority every day. I provide every dog with the same level of care and attention that I give my own dog, Boss. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In my home, dogs have plenty of space to relax indoors and enjoy supervised time in my large yard. I make sure they always have fresh water, a clean environment, lots of attention, and a safe, comfortable place to rest. I never leave dogs unattended outside, and I monitor interactions carefully to ensure everyone stays safe and happy. For drop-in visits and walks, I respect my clients’ homes while making sure their pets receive the care, exercise, affection, and companionship they need. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are being well cared for.

“Solomon had a great time! Unique was communicative, patient, and made dropoff and pickup easy. She has a Lab herself so was well aware of how to care for him.

“Langston always does a great job of taking care of my energetically, timid Airedale. I used to come to him months ago and have returned for some great customer service. You’d be missing out if you didn’t book with him and his dog Moscoe.”
“This was my first time using a sitter Veronica was awesome treating my French bulldog with love concerned about her she sent pictures every day while I was away. Give me an update if she was eating or not she goes outside and play and Onyx enjoyed her stay. I would recommend her over and over again. She takes time with the puppies.”
“Sol was a great host to my dog, my dog is somewhat reactive and he was able to calm and situate her, and settle her in nicely; if you’re in the Atlanta area I highly recommend you choose this place if your very picky when it comes to your fur baby”
“Adrienne was awesome with our dogs! They felt totally at ease with her. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which made us feel great knowing they were happy and well cared for. They got plenty of attention, and we could tell they were having a great time. We'll be coming back to Adrienne for our future pet-sitting needs. :-)”
“Angela was great! When I returned to get my fur baby, he was happy, which lets me know he had a good time and was well taken care of. She also communicated with me about everything and I appreciated that so much.”
“Serria was wonderful and took exceptional care of our baby girl. We were concerned about how Zhuri would do with other animals, especially cats, but she got along well with Serria’s two dogs and cat. Serria sent daily photos of Zhuri bonding and relaxing with her eldest dog. One picture showed Zhuri outside in her spacious, fenced yard, where they had plenty of room to run and play. It was clear Zhuri felt comfortable in her home. Serria cared for our sweet girl as if she were her own. She was kind, responsive, and made the entire experience stress-free. Zhuri was in excellent hands with someone who clearly loves animals, and we truly appreciated the care and attention she received. Highly recommend!”

It’s hard to find someone you trust with your babies — and I definitely trust and recommend Kayla!”
