“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.”
“My babies love staying with her. She takes such great care and attention to their needs. She keeps in touch and sends me all the cutest pictures. Thank you as always!”
“This was our first time leaving Tank with Unique, and boy was he a happy camper! I could tell that he was doing fine, as she sent multiple videos and pics of him throughout his stay. I highly recommend Unique!”
“Hands down....thee best!! Our baby lives like a Prince while with Kandice, I don't know if he likes to come home. Loving, attentive, knows my dog very well and he has his favorite spot in her home. I don't even trust some family members with Spike. Thanks again! CJ 💜💜”
“Kelli and her husband were absolutely amazing. They took great care of my pup by spoiling her with lots of love and attention. I needed to drop my dog off a day early, and Kelli was very understanding and flexible. The daily pics and updates really assured me that my dog was comfortable and well taken care of. If you're looking for a loving dog sitter, don't hesitate to book with Kelli. 10/10, I HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“Adrienne is the best. She's so sweet, caring and loving with our pup. I asked last minute if she could board our dog for the holiday and she replied immediately. Pickup and drop of is seamless and she always has cute activities for the pups. She threw a "Pawsgiving" for the pups and it was so cute. I love her energy and can tell from my pups obsession with her, that she really treats him like a member of the family.”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I did not really know what to expect. Glynis surpassed all of my hopes! She took such good care of Buster - sent me photos everyday, sent me updates on how he was doing, and she made sure that he enjoyed himself. I would give her 6 stars! She made sure to know and follow his routine. He is relatively new to my home, as he was a rescue and had only been with me a couple of months. From his behavior when we got home, I know he was made to feel secure and cared for while he stayed with Glynis and her family. While he was happy to see me when I returned, I doubt that he missed me, as he had such positive experiences, as did I. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much Langston for taking care of my baby Koi while I was out of town !! The daily updates was really reassuring and allowed me to have a peace of mind knowing that she was in great hands . Moscoe and Koi got along really well and made the drop off reassuring as well . I will definitely be booking again in the near future !!”
“We had the absolute best experience with Ken! He sent daily pictures and videos. Even took high quality professional photos! Novi is a rescue and we are still working on her behaviors and mannerisms. After 6 days at Ken’s she’s so much more calm and well behaved! Also the back yard is a dog’s dream! I highly highly recommend his services. He really know what he is doing!”
“It was our first time using Rover and we couldn't be happier. The regular photo updates gave us peace of mind knowing our fur baby was in good hands. Melissa is sweet and caring. We will definitely use her services again and highly recommend her. Our baby was on her own puppycation.”
“Veronica is awesome! She definitely spoils my baby just as much as we do at home! She is very communicative, takes a lot of pictures, and most importantly, my dog LOVES her. I recommend her to any pet parent! She will definitely be my permanent sitter from now on.”
“Crystal took excellent care of my dog and gave me real peace of mind. She provided regular updates, and I always felt my dog was in great hands. I will definitely be using her again.”
“He treated our babies as if they were his own. I especially love how he sent us constant updates via pictures and videos. We will definitely use Raffael again!”
“Jeronay took such great care of my corgi/chihuahua mix fur baby! She sent daily photo or short video updates and I felt very comfortable with leaving her for a week with her. She also has a really large fenced yard that I know Luna enjoyed roaming around and sun bathing in. Highly recommend her!”
“ONG AMANDA And her family was great with Luis. I don’t think he wanted to come home. The communication was excellent pictures conversation all day every day. I definitely would recommend her and I will be using her again.”
“Nakita was great with my pup Dottie. She was prompt with communication and getting a meet and greet scheduled. She updated me with photos where Dottie had a big smile on her face and looked like her comfortable self. I was glad to hear she and her family enjoyed having Dottie. Nakita will definitely be on list of sitters to check availability for when I’m in need!”

About: I've cared for cats for over 10 years and I understand that cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. My home is calm, quiet, and completely animal-free, so your cat won't be stressed by dogs, other cats, or noisy kids. They get the full run of a peaceful space that's just for them. Please note: I do not take dogs and cats from multiple different owners at the same time - only if they are they from the same family and know each other! I let every cat settle in at their own pace — no forcing interaction, no overwhelming them. Some cats want lap time within an hour, some need a day to come out and explore. I read their cues and follow their lead. Litter box hygiene is always spotless, and I monitor eating and behavior closely, so nothing goes unnoticed. You'll get regular updates and photos, and I'll flag anything that seems off right away. When you pick them up, they'll be calm, content, and ready to go home. Please note I do not take dogs and cats from multiple different owners at the same time - only if they are they from the same family and know each other!
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.
“This was our first time using Rover for pet/house sitting, and we were nervous to leave our cats with someone they didn’t know well. Jessica was fantastic! She quickly built trust with our cats by meeting them where they were, never rushing the relationship. She provided consistent updates of how our cats were doing and always sent silly photos of them with it. By the end, she had both cats snuggling and purring. Even when Jessica had a personal emergency come up, she prioritized the wellbeing of our cats first. When we came home, our house was clean and our cats were happy and healthy. Should the need arise, we will be rebooking and recommend you book with Jessica as well.”
“We booked Sherry on short notice, over Spring Break, to watch our new rescue. She did an amazing job and I loved being notified when she was in our home and the photos helped my daughter feel reassured that her kitty was taken car of. I'd highly recommend Sherry's services and will definitely be booking her again.”
“I'm very sure my greedy cats enjoyed Leylah very much lol she was the treat master while we were gone. Buttercup even came out of hiding with her so quickly! She's scared of her own shadow lol The pictures were also so nice! Leylah got good angles of my gremlins. 10 outta 10!”
About: I’ve taken care of many cats in my 14 years of pet sitting. Neighbors, family, and friends would entrust me to feed, play, walk and be attentive to their cat. I love every minute I get to learn more about the pets personality.
“Amber was amazing! She was attentive, kind, and gave our pups so much love. She cleaned up the house and brought in all our packages without even being asked. We will definitely be booking with her again for any future trips. Thanks Amber!!!”
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.
“Petra was an amazing sitter! She was able to board my cat for an extended period of time while i was traveling. She is very sweet, professional and had great communication. 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!”

“Linque took awesome care of our two cats! I could tell they are very comfortable with her. She sent a bunch of pictures and provided updates in the rover card, which was greatly appreciated while we were out of town. Will be contacting again for future drop-ins!”

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. 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.
“Ms. Lori was a blessing to me and my fur babies! She accepted to keep them for me as I had a last minute emergency and had to get to work. She was very sweet , updated me with pics and most of all she spoiled them with love and care the same way I would and truly appreciated her for that! They really enjoyed staying with her and we plan to keep her as a permanent sitter ❤️ thanks so much Lori!”
“Lea was so sweet and great with my baby Blue. She was very sweet with asking and answering any questions. She even updated me with pics of her adorable fur baby and my baby playing together. I really felt at ease and will book again ☺️”

“Christina seems to have an excellent knowledge of dogs and how they interact with one another. She’s been very accommodating and communicates clearly and quickly via this app. I’ve quickly become very comfortable leaving my dog with her!”
“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!”

About: Hello there! Our pet sitting business is ran by father and daughter, Avery and Nefertari. Our dog Sammy Sosa lived to be 18 years old and Nefertari started sitting other dogs after he passed away. Avery is retired and lives up to the saying “a dog is truly a man’s best friend”. We enjoy nurturing them, playing with them and spending time with them as it brings us joy. We have skills in walking, feeding and bathing. If your dog needs medication during their stay we can give it to them. If approved we will take your dog/pup to a nearby dog park for some fun on the weekends and some weekdays. We can also take your dog to their vet or groomer when requested. Nefertari is currently working full time so she will be at home with your dog during the evening and on her off days. Avery is retired and will be home during the day especially for those much needed potty breaks. We will probably spend more time outside on the weekends at the dog park or on car rides when the weather permits. During the week, Nefertari goes to work and church and Avery works in the evening so if your pup requires a lot of attention we can provide this. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we live in a walkable neighborhood. We can take your dog to a dog park for some leash free fun as well. They will probably be taken out 2-3 times while we are home. Fed twice a day unless specified otherwise. We will crate the dog if needed, but we prefer not to keep the dog in the crate when we are at home and like for them to roam around the house freely. We are interactive pet sitters, so we welcome all treats and toys with your dog for their stay.
“Sherry is very reliable and was a huge help while I worked away from home. I was confident that I was leaving my dog in good care and she was great with communication. I highly recommend her!”
“Stephanie has been wonderful and patient with our dogs, one of whom is vision-impaired and scared of strangers. We're so excited to have found such a professional - she's a gem!”
About: I have experience in caring for all ages. I have a senior and a puppy. With the age gap I have rekindled the puppy skills and patience, one forgets as you your dog gets older. With my senior, special care is important as they tend to have different issues. I’m well skilled in CPR in the case it needs to be performed. I am into the health and care of our pets, not just from the outside but from the inside as well. I currently work over night, so I have time during the day to help and be a sitter during the day and some full days. I am flexible with my schedule which makes creates more time to be available. I have a fenced in yard and space to host your dog. I do have 2 friendly boys not neutered, my puppy loves new friends and my senior tends to stay to himself. I can work with your pups habits and even help train. I let my dogs hang around the house and always supervised. I do have family that helps take care of them, so if feel more comfortable with me pet sitting at your place, I can do so.
“Lori has been walking my dog for about a week while I am in a walking boot and she is so great! She is always on time and is very communicative. My dog absolutely loves her and has been anticipating her visits on the days she is scheduled (he starts looking out of the window when it is close to time for her to come).”
About: Hi! I go by Kimberly! I’m an attentive and reliable pet sitter with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve helped care for my neighbor’s husky, Speed, for the past two years and also pet sat a friend’s Nebelung cat, Luna, for about four months. I love taking Speed on park trips, hikes, and even Dutch Bros coffee runs! Luna is much more low maintenance — feed her, play with her a little, give her attention, and she’s perfectly happy lounging around nearby. I also have experience caring for pets with specific dietary and health needs, including preparing meals for a pet with iron deficiency and kidney disease. I genuinely enjoy animals of all kinds and always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a full-time undergraduate student with a remote part-time job, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I have a lot of free time and genuinely enjoy caring for animals—especially shelter pets—as it’s one of my favorite hobbies. Hi! If you’re looking for a reliable and flexible pet sitter, I’m your girl. I have experience crate training client dogs and I strictly follow leash-walking rules in public to ensure the safety of pets, pedestrians, and vehicles. I currently care for a very energetic and friendly dog (the husky on my profile). While he loves to greet everyone and can get excited around smaller animals, I consistently reinforce calm, gentle behavior to make sure all interactions are safe and stress-free.
About: I’ve taken on multiple clients over the course of my pet care career. I specialize in walks and drop in visits. I’m also an authorized volunteer at the Douglas County Animal Shelter. I work a full time trade so I’m am usually pretty busy in my day to day, but I’m always willing to squeeze clients into my schedule! I have a basement that grants enough space for any pet to feel comfortable and roam free. I also live close to a local park that welcomes and encourages the presence of pets!

“My babies love staying with her. She takes such great care and attention to their needs. She keeps in touch and sends me all the cutest pictures. Thank you as always!”
“This was our first time leaving Tank with Unique, and boy was he a happy camper! I could tell that he was doing fine, as she sent multiple videos and pics of him throughout his stay. I highly recommend Unique!”
“Adrienne is the best. She's so sweet, caring and loving with our pup. I asked last minute if she could board our dog for the holiday and she replied immediately. Pickup and drop of is seamless and she always has cute activities for the pups. She threw a "Pawsgiving" for the pups and it was so cute. I love her energy and can tell from my pups obsession with her, that she really treats him like a member of the family.”
“This was my first time using Rover, so I did not really know what to expect. Glynis surpassed all of my hopes! She took such good care of Buster - sent me photos everyday, sent me updates on how he was doing, and she made sure that he enjoyed himself. I would give her 6 stars! She made sure to know and follow his routine. He is relatively new to my home, as he was a rescue and had only been with me a couple of months. From his behavior when we got home, I know he was made to feel secure and cared for while he stayed with Glynis and her family. While he was happy to see me when I returned, I doubt that he missed me, as he had such positive experiences, as did I. I highly recommend her!”
“Thank you so much Langston for taking care of my baby Koi while I was out of town !! The daily updates was really reassuring and allowed me to have a peace of mind knowing that she was in great hands . Moscoe and Koi got along really well and made the drop off reassuring as well . I will definitely be booking again in the near future !!”
“Veronica is awesome! She definitely spoils my baby just as much as we do at home! She is very communicative, takes a lot of pictures, and most importantly, my dog LOVES her. I recommend her to any pet parent! She will definitely be my permanent sitter from now on.”
“He treated our babies as if they were his own. I especially love how he sent us constant updates via pictures and videos. We will definitely use Raffael again!”
“Nakita was great with my pup Dottie. She was prompt with communication and getting a meet and greet scheduled. She updated me with photos where Dottie had a big smile on her face and looked like her comfortable self. I was glad to hear she and her family enjoyed having Dottie. Nakita will definitely be on list of sitters to check availability for when I’m in need!”
“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”
“This was my first time using Rover and Angela as a sitter for my pup. I found the service worked very well and really appreciated the occasional pic from Angela. My dog had free roam of the house and, from all appearances, thrived under Angela and her family's care. I have used good pet kennels, but I liked the idea of getting my dog away from the noise and the more restrictive format of a kennel. I will be returning my dog's care to Angela when needed again.”
“Jazmine and her husband took great care of our puppy for his first boarding experience. Their backyard is perfect for tiring our dog out. He appeared happy and safe in their hands!”
“Christina was great! Very communicative and sweet with our puppy. I highly recommend her. Definitely will keep her contact for the future. Thank you very much Christina!!!”
“Heidi was awesome! It's always a struggle to think about leaving your dog with someone you don't know, but Heidi really put my mind at ease. Heidi loves dogs and has a lot of experience. She did a great job watching my goldendoodle, Warren, for over a week while I needed to travel for work. She was great with sending regular updates and photos. Would highly recommend Heidi to anyone looking for someone to not just dogsit their dog, but to actually take great care of their dog and make sure the dog is happy.”
“Milan was the best! I appreciated the updates she gave me as this was the first time our kitten stayed outside our home. I will definitely return the next time we’re away.”
“Philippa was awesome with our cat. Though she had not had a cat before but she took care of our cat like a pro. She made sure we recueved all updates and made sure he was comfortable and went out of the way to take care of him.”
“This was my first time using Rover as we had not needed a dog sitter in the past with family and friends helping us out when needed or taking our pup with us most of the time. We booked fairly last minute, and Daniela was great as a first experience using the service. She was watching multiple dogs that were a similar size as ours and all had good dispositions and played well together. Daniela was very responsive and sent pics/videos every day. I would definitely recommend and won't hesitate to go back to her when we need a dog sitter again.”
“Jennifer was GREAT!! I recommend her! And intend on her being my baby's 2nd home.she sent plenty pictures and kept me updated daily. Rose seemed very happy when she cam home. Thanks again Jennifer”
