“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.”
“Bailey was amazing! We had a new puppy and this was his first time staying anywhere. Bailey was extremely communicative, quick to respond with any questions, and a wealth of knowledge. Our boy had so much fun, we’d love to come back sometime ❤️”
“Tracey was great! She helped us out with a last min stay and took such great care of our dood, Miko. She sent plenty of updates and photos, and he came home happy, tired, and clearly well loved. So thankful for her flexibility and the care she gave him. Would absolutely book again!”
“Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!”
“I had the pleasure of having Jess take care of my pup for 5 days. From the very beginning, it was clear that she truly loves animals. Stella (Sweet Pea) was well taken care of, and Jess kept me informed with updates and photos to give me peace of mind while I was out of town. Stella (Sweet Pea) has separation anxiety, and Jess helped ease the transition, gradually introducing her to the other pets and helping her to feel more at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care.”
“Peanut had such a cute and perfect stay ever! With the little furry friend and the little girl, Peanut definitely wants to thank you for the cute drawing. We really hope to send our baby again to this perfect family. Thank you for having him ❤️”
“My Jax has stayed with DeAnne & Coop more times than I can remember. I can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else and hope I don’t have too. I can tell my Jax always gets lots of loving when he’s there. The pics and updates she sends daily when he’s there is wonderful. Thank you for being wonderful to my baby boy.”
“ALWAYS A GREAT EXPERIENCE! Milo truly lovessss Stephanie and her sweet sweet dog Pugxy. He gets so excited to see them everytime and I know he has so much fun playing when he is there. Stephanie ALWAYS sends pictures throughout the visit and wipes him down and gives him a bandana before he leaves. She is such an amazing sitter, I am glad I found someone I can trust my baby with. I would reccomend her to any and everyone I know. Thank you again!!”
“Tiffany did a wonderful job with our Evie. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the week. Her home was very tidy, and she made a special space for Evie. When we picked her up, her kitty box had been cleaned, and all of her belongings were well organized. Evie is very shy, but she seemed to do well at Tiffany's home. We will definitely use her again, and we recommend her highly.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Tammy as our dog sitter for the first time. From the start, she made us feel completely at ease by prioritizing Milo’s safety and well-being. She was extremely attentive and caring, ensuring everything was handled with love and professionalism. We especially appreciated her frequent updates and photos, which kept us reassured and connected while we were away. Tammy went above and beyond to make sure Milo felt comfortable and cared for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter — we will definitely be using her services again!”
“Kelsey is hands down THE BEST! I've always had dogs but never needed a sitter. I had week long trip coming up and for the first time in 40 years I found myself searching for someone to care for my Benny. Kelsey was quick to reply to my inquiry, offered me an abundance of reassurance and took all worries off my shoulders. We communicated effortlessly before, during, and even the day after my trip when she made sure Benny settled back in at home. I received adorable pictures, videos and updates throughout Benny's stay. Thank you Kelsey!!!!! I look forward to reaching out the next time Benny needs a friend to hang out with. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (10 stars)”
“Heather and Chris were amazing with Max. I loved how they sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Max was taken out for walks multiple times a day. They have a huge backyard for the dogs to run around and play. I could tell Max was very comfortable. I will definitely want Heather and Chris to care for Max again.”
“Dahlia took amazing care of Oscar. She was loving and kind to him and provided us regular updates with tidbits of daily activities. I could tell Oscar had a great time with her.”
“Title: Amazing Dog Sitter – Flexible and Caring! I had an amazing experience with Sushma. It’s clear that Sushma takes the time to build a bond and understand each dog’s unique needs. Be it walks, playtime, or following my dog’s specific feeding schedule, everything was handled perfectly. Sushma is approachable and was so accommodating when I had to unexpectedly extend my stay by an extra day. Their willingness to keep Saimon longer, without hesitation, was a huge relief and shows how understanding and reliable they are. I’m thankful for their flexibility, and professionalism. Throughout the stay, they provided regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind, knowing my dog was in great hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Sushma to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to them again in the future!”
“Amy was INCREDIBLE!!!! We have never done something like Rover before and let me tell you, if Amy isn’t available we will be moving our vacation around her schedule, she was so good!!!!! She sent updates throughout the day, everyday! Lots of videos and pictures as well! Our Willow got soooo much interaction with her dogs and other dogs, it was perfect for her!! We are so thankful we have found someone we can trust with our Willow! Thank you so much again Amy!!! Willow already misses Koda haha!”
“Melinda and McKenna were God-sends! We have a senior dog and we hate to leave her even for a day. Numerous photos and such a warm home was so assuring during our week away. We would not hesitate to use them again.”
“5 STARS ACROSS THE BOARD! What a time Gucci had while on his first week long vacation away from us. He had a ball and we were heavily communicated to. He even attended a PAWTY! We will be back!”
“Very communicative reliable would recommend him to anyone very caring and has a very nice facility to board your dog and for it to play always responsive and always aiming to please”

“Tid is our favorite Rover for taking care of our cat. She spoils him and makes it so much easier to be away from him. Her attention to detail is what makes her such a great caretaker for Mo.”
“Bailey did an amazing job with my cats! She asked plenty of clarifying questions during the meet-n-greet and provided updates while I was gone. My cats especially appreciated that she took time to play with them when she stopped in. Even my camera-shy cat made several appearances for her. :)”
“Brenda took such good care of our cat!! She even brought in our mail and asked if she could clean anything. She's great at communication, and I can tell our cat loved having her around!!”
“Patricia was absolutely fantastic and took such great care of my cats while I was gone for a couple days. She sent daily updates and pictures, was super friendly and communicative, and ensured my cats were happy! I would highly recommend her services.”
“Bailey is hands down the best person ever to watch your dog. She is great with our big 65 pound Australian poodle and she is a natural around him. She was never late taking Romo out and it’s clear she is passionate about dogs. Definitely plan on booking her again in the future!”
“Liberty took incredible care of our two cats! Excellent communication the entire time, sharing very detailed report cards and plenty of pictures and videos of the boys having fun. She gave them lots of attention and quality play time. She went above and beyond in both caring for them and keeping the kitty areas tidy, I highly recommend! Thanks again Liberty! 😊”
“Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!”
“Lisa took excellent care of my daughters cat, Pixie, while we were away. She was very engaging & provided thoughtful updates on how Pixie was doing, which gave us peace of mind. Administering medication can sometimes be tricky, but Lisa handled it with no issues. I truly appreciate her care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up with cats first before any other animals and they have my heart. I have never known a life without cats as my family cat growing up was established in our family before I was even born, and I have my own sweet white and grey domestic shorthair named Noelle who is very playful and loving but doesn't do well with other animals, so she is my sole animal in my house and I love to get time with other people's kittens and cats whenever I can! I have experience with various forms of administering medications, special food needs, litter box cleaning, playtime, and of course pets and cuddles. I do work full time in Gainesville so my availability is more weeknights and Saturday/Sunday all day.
“We have used Maya several times, she's great! We have an elderly cat that needs meds daily. It's so comforting to know when I'm not there I can rely on Maya to check on my old girl ♥️”
“Raima does a great job of taking care of my older cats … giving medications, cleaning up after them, and updating me on how they are doing. I feel good leaving town knowing she will love on them and that they will be well cared for! I appreciate her willingness to meet to talk over care as well! Having her looking after them while I am away gives me peace of mind, and I am very satisfied with her drop-in visits. Thanks, Raima!”
About: I currently own 3 cats, Oreo, Chris, and Wilson. I have had and cared for cats as long as I can remember. Whether it is just cleaning a litter box and putting out food or if it's administering medication I have you covered. Playing with cats to get their energy out is one of my favorite things to do!
“Amber did a great job with the kitties! It gave me relief to see the daily pics of them doing well. They were fed and happy, and my shy cat even started to make her rounds later in the week.”

About: As lifelong dog lovers, we know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. We had two sweet dogs of our own for 14 and 12 years, and they were truly part of our family. Spoiled , loved, and very well cared for. We understand that every dog deserves patience, attention, safety, and lots of love while their owners are away. Your pup will be welcomed into our home like one of our own, with plenty of care, affection, and a comfortable environment to help them feel safe and happy. Pet care naturally fits into our daily routine because we genuinely enjoy having dogs around and caring for them. We’re home every day and used to structuring our days around feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. Our home is calm, safe, and pet-friendly, and we understand the importance of consistency and routine for dogs while their owners are away. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, so I do my best to keep things consistent and stress-free for them while their owners are away. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and affection throughout the day. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll respect their space while making sure their pets stay comfortable in their familiar routine and environment. My goal is always to care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Patricia absolutely saved the day when we had a family emergency and asked her to watch Mina on short notice. She responded promptly and did everything to make it an amazing afternoon for our Shih Tzu! She sent tons of photos, kept us updated, and bent over backwards to help us out. Her energy was calming and reassuring in what was a very stressful time for us. We are so grateful and would book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs/cats. My family and I love all animals and are excited to have furry visitors to love on. I work three days out of the week night shift! I have plenty of time to love on fur babies and meet their needs! Im always up early and ready to start the day! We have an open space home and an open space yard away from the road. Plenty of space to run around or walk around leashed or unleashed. We do not have any other animals in our home besides our two toddlers who are boys who love any animal.
About: Hi I’m Liz and I absolutely love animals! When I was younger I was always wanting to help out any animal I could find. I grew up with cats and a dog but once I got married my husband was allergic to cats so I never got to own my own cat. But I foster dogs on the side! I don’t work with any agencies, I just help certain life or death situations or senior pups who were denied proper care. I currently own 7 dogs ranging from all ages puppy to senior. I also own what most people call “difficult” breeds Akitas, Shibas, huskies, German Shepherds, Pomeranians, and Samoyed! I have a few puppies in training at my house and would love to share my knowledge of dogs with others! If you have training questions I’d love to help you and get you on the right track! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I’m currently working full time but I get off at 3-4pm each day and I am off Saturday and Sunday. I have a lot of wiggle room and would love to accommodate any way I can! I want to care for your pet in the same manner you do! I want your pet to feel like I am a second care human they are close and comfortable with. I will follow your instructions to a “T” so they aren’t left missing you too much! Right now I will only be offering your home for services but maybe some day mine as well :)
About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.
“Great experience! Recently my dog stayed several hours with DeAnne. She took excellent care of him. He’s now scheduled for two nights of boarding. I’m very happy to have found DeAnne on Rover.”
“Micheal was awesome! He was super flexible with me needed an earlier drop off and pick up. His dogs were super friendly and Sophie had the best time with them. I highly recommend trusting him with your fur baby :)”
“Lindsay & Chris have been exceptional sitters for our dog Rylie. The family provides very personal and affectionate care in their home, with a great outdoor space for play. Rylie is looking forward to her next stay!”
About: 🐾 Hi, I'm Brianna! I know they're more than just animals they're family, and they deserve compassionate, reliable care while you're away. I bring over 4+ years of hands on experience working in an animal hospital, along with a Veterinary Technology degree from Gwinnett Technical College. My professional background has given me experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, temperaments, and medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, caring for senior pets, monitoring for signs of illness, and helping anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. In addition to dogs and cats, I also have experience caring for exotic animals, so if your family includes rabbits, guinea pigs, ferrets, reptiles, birds, or other small pets, you can feel confident they're in knowledgeable hands. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to provide individualized care tailored to their needs. Whether it's long walks, playtime, enrichment, feeding, medication, or plenty of cuddles, I'll treat your pets with the same love and attention I would my own. You'll always stay connected while you're away with regular updates, photos, and videos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to build lasting relationships with both pets and their families by providing dependable, professional, and loving care every visit. I look forward to meeting you and becoming your pet's new favorite sitter! 🐶🐱🐰🦜🦎❤️ I work part-time night shifts, which gives me flexibility during the day to care for pets. My schedule allows me to provide morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I carefully plan around my work hours to ensure every pet receives dependable, consistent care. I always prioritize keeping pets on their normal routine and will communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly what to expect. Whether your pet is staying in my home for boarding or doggy daycare, or I'm visiting them for drop-in visits or walks, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and favorite activities. For boarding and daycare, I provide a clean, safe, low stress environment with plenty of supervised play, enrichment, rest, and one on one attention. During drop in visits and walks, I make sure pets get the care, exercise, companionship, and routine they're used to while you're away

About: I've had 5 years of cat and dog caretaker experience. I love pets,they are really good for my anxiety and depression. I always make sure pets have fun. I'm available anytime and any day. I'm available overnight too. Pet care taking is definitely my calling in life. I've always loved animals more than anything. I'm a very clean and dependable person.

About: We have four dogs and live right beside a farm where my husband works. We have lots of space for dogs to run around and play, secure fenced in areas for safety and because we are a family of 7, we have plenty of love to go around! I bred Pomeranians as a young adult and my husband has worked on a horse farm for 20 years. We have lots of experience loving and caring for animals. I work from home and my husband works across the street. There is usually always someone at our home to take care of and walk the dogs. We love going on family walks and spending lots of time with our animals! We have a large yard with a fenced in area for safety. We also have 4 dogs who are very friendly and love to play. Our children are very responsible and love to play with and walk dogs! Our personal dogs are up to date on all vaccines and on heart worm prevention.
About: I've never met a dog that didn't captivate my heart. As a passionate animal advocate, I'm driven to make a difference. I've even gone the extra mile, chasing a dog down the highway to ensure its safety. My loyal companion of 11 years, a rescue dog, left an indelible mark on my heart when he passed away in February. Though I wish I could rescue every animal in need, I take comfort in knowing that my efforts, no matter how small, can bring about positive change. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of sharing my home with my own dogs, while also caring for the beloved pets of family and friends. The thought of any dog being confined to a boarding cage is unbearable, as I know they're already experiencing separation anxiety. My goal is to provide a warm, welcoming space that makes them feel at home, surrounded by love and comfort. I am a real estate agent and have been for 26 years. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide top-notch animal care services, whether in my residence, yours, or simply taking them for a stroll. Whether I am providing pet care in my home or yours, you can be assured that I am delivering companionship and love to your pet while you are away. Although I do not have a fenced backyard, I will take your dog for a leashed potty break and a daily walk to ensure they receive adequate exercise.
About: My family always had dogs when I was growing up. As an adult, I have always had dogs and cats. For several years I also had a farm with lots of animals. Almost two years ago I got divorced and this is the first time in my whole life I have not had any pets! I am really looking forward to getting my dog and cat fix from your pets! I work from home and am a stay at home mom. This allows me to care for your pets the way I would care for mine. They get plenty of love and attention! In my home, your pets will be taken care of like they are part of our family. I have children so they will be loved on by them as well. We have a great neighborhood for walking and we have a grassed, outdoor area as well. At your home, I will love on your pets and care for them in every way that you would like.
“This family is amazing with dogs! I was so worried about having to keep my dogs away from home, but they did so well with them. Remi and Cooper are wiped from a long day of play and exploring. A phenomenal backyard (fenced) and attentive care were given. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi!!! My name is Alyssa, I am 23 years old. Previously, I was a bather at a grooming salon. I can bathe your pup, do their nails ( if they allow me to) or whatever your pup needs to stay clean , happy and healthy. I’ve watched dogs from 5 pounds all the way to 120 pounds. I love all dog breeds!!!! I am a stay at home fiance as of right now. I have a lot of free time. I will be starting college again in the Fall but it is all online :) I have my own dog , his name is Remy but he’s an easy pup. I’ll have time to support you and take care of your pups. I can feed, bathe, walk and play with your dogs :) I can give medication to your pups if needed & I will ALWAYS cuddle your pups if they allow me to!
“Bailey did a great job. She helped us out on our wedding day and walked our dog twice. She spent intentional time with lottie making sure she got enough exercise and enough pets. Thank you!!”
“Bailey is awesome! Just what I needed as I’m going through chemo and needed my pup to get some exercise. She loves River and River loves her! You can tell because River is waiting but the door for her on the days she walks her! Bailey is dependable, mature and obviously loves dogs. She’s updates the app so that I know of any changes or additions (she has permission to keep walking River is she’s still wanting to walk and Bailey has the time!!). Payment is easy and if walked extra it can be automatically added! I’m so glad a friend referred ROVER to me!! I would have never found Bailey -someone we desperately needed right now to keel our pup happy, healthy & tired!”
“Can’t express how pleased we are with Tid. We were gone for a week and her timely reports were so reassuring. We previously had Creed at Camp Bow Wow when we traveled and I can see such a difference. He is not stressed when we get home and seems very happy while we are gone. Thank you Tid for allowing us to enjoy time with our grandchildren without worrying about our little man.”
“We feel so lucky to have found Lisa on Rover. She’s been amazing with our dog Finn and when we had to change plans unexpectedly due to illness, she was incredibly flexible and understanding. It took so much stress off our shoulders. Lisa is reliable, kind and truly cares, we couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I bring patience, reliability, and lots of belly rubs. You’ll get consistent updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved. I have been dog sitting for over 10 years and I have had several dogs of my own. I have been with several different types as well as aggressive and deaf dogs. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I take the time to make sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a calm and quiet environment, I’m happy to tailor care to what makes them happiest. My goal is to treat every dog like family and make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable from start to finish. I am currently a mental health therapist working Monday through Thursdays. I have availability in the mornings and evenings. I accommodate to whatever needs your dog may have or what your preference is as an owner due to my schedule being flexible. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I do like to go on walks. I typically like the dog to stay at their home and I come there so they are more comfortable in their own environments. I do have a crate at my house if needed. I don’t mind keeping them with me as well :)
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Patricia! She truly went above and beyond while caring for our dogs. When one of our pups got sick, she didn’t just notify us—she actually cooked him rice to help his stomach and even went to her own home to bring back a rug cleaning machine to clean the areas where he had diarrhea. Her kindness and initiative meant the world to us. Her communication was outstanding—we received frequent updates and adorable pictures from all their walks, which really put our hearts at ease and allowed us to fully enjoy our getaway without worry. Patricia is caring, responsible, and treats pets as if they were her own. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely book her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the past couple years. I’ve considered getting a big dog for myself, but I do enjoy watching them for awhile and then having them go back to their owners I currently work from home as a mortgage originator. I will be around most of the time for your dog or cat. I bring your dog for several walks per day (depending on the dog) and I have a yard. I only board one dog at a time, unless you own two dogs that need to be boarded. This way, your dog will get my full attention and you will not have to worry about your dog getting along with another dog. For dogs in my home, they be with me in my front room all day. I’d walk them several times a day, usually a mile or two depending upon the size of the dog. I also have a fairly large yard for dogs that like to run or play fetch.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I am great with puppy training and all cares needed for your furry friends. I have been around dogs my whole life and am very loving and caring with all animals! I am in the process of finding a new full time job so my availability is wide open to take care of your furry best friends! I always am taking pups on walks. I love to play with the animals. I also have experience with dogs with anxiety and willing to give medication if needed. Your furry friends are always very well taken care of with me!
“Mikayla is really good with walking my dog and is always diligent with making sure to take pictures and record how many times my dog takes potty breaks. I really appreciate how she is flexible with scheduling too. She also met up with me before I started scheduling with her on a short notice. I'm really happy to have somebody who is really good with dogs. My dog always seems happy when she is getting walked. I highly recommend her.”

Whatever amount of activity your pet may need I am able to provide it. I have been a [people] nurse for 20+ years, giving me the confidence to take care of daily medication and/or exercises that may be needed for your pet. Please check out my reviews and allow me the opportunity to provide excellent care to your loved ones while you are away! Available weekends only for walks and drop-ins. House sitting can be arranged for extended periods, but please note that I do work away from home 40+ hours a week M-F. I do not care for pets within my home any longer but would love for you to trust me to come into your pets home and provide the level of love and care that you give them when you are home. Each pet has different needs and I try to quickly figure out how much attention and care they need to not feel sad that you are not home.
About: Animal lover by nature, my connection with animals started as early as I can remember. I carry a deep reverence for them, often connecting more easily with animals than humans throughout my life. I’m trained in wildlife rescue and experienced with all types of animals, and I’m also trained in reiki for animals. My own family includes cats, a dog, a frog, a fish, and a snake, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of personalities and care needs. I move with calm awareness and responsibility in every situation, and I treat animals like family, your pet is guaranteed to be cared for with true intention, presence, and love. I work from home and create my own schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine around their needs, whether that’s playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship. I also have a basement apartment space if a pet needs a calm, separate environment away from other animals. In addition, I have a fenced yard on a 1/4 acre lot located on a dead-end road, which provides a safe and quiet space for walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines as closely as possible to keep the animal comfortable and stress-free. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I move with calm awareness, making sure the pet feels safe and at ease in their own environment. I also keep the home clean and respect the space fully while I’m there. My goal is to maintain consistency for the pet and give the owner peace of mind knowing their animal is cared for with intention and attention.
About: Howdy! I’m a 28 year old guy with a love for animals and a lot of time on his hands. I’ve looked after at most 4 (personal/roommates) dogs in my own household at one time. I have two of my own currently. They’re my boys and we spend these days lounging around at home (it’s what we three do best!) Previously worked for Barking Hound Village in Buckhead as a dog handler supervising over (at most) 20+ dogs at a time. I have experience caring for dogs of all temperaments and ages- and other pets including cats, birds, rats, and reptiles. I also have care experience with sphynx cats, as I have one of my own. I have a full time job currently and am on a rotating schedule, so I am typically free after 6pm everyday. Schedule is free and open every other weekend. I am available every calendar holiday. I am flexible and happy to accommodate myself to whatever environment and play your pet feels happiest in. My own pets cannot sleep on their own- lol.
About: I’m a biggg animal lover, a vegan of 10 years, former animal shelter worker & doggy foster mom🤍 a few years ago, I rescued my dog, Blue. Working with trainers for my own dog has deepened my commitment to positive reinforcement and understanding each dog’s unique needs. I’m a full-time registered nurse, so I’m confident administering medications and managing special care routines. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes—from tiny companions to giant breeds—and I take the time to learn each dog’s quirks, preferences, and sensitivities to make sure they feel safe, happy, and understood. I live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor time, including long walks and play sessions, and I’m happy to help with feeding, training, and care. I currently only work 3 days a week, so I’m usually free the rest of my days off. I’m pretty flexible on scheduling things if you have any last minute needs. I work night shift, so if your dog is fine being left alone overnight let me know and I can board longer than my listed days! I have a pet cam to keep an eye on them overnight. Dog walking/drop-ins: I can come to your home, feed your pup breakfast/dinner, take them out for a quick potty break, play time, or go on a super long walk to tire them out! I’d love to know your dog’s routine, likes/dislikes, an level of energy! Doggy day care: Your dog can hang with me & mine for the day! Guaranteed fun times, cuddles, walks! I love making my space a welcoming & calm environment. I consider myself active, so if your dog is up for adventures/hikes, let me know! Your dog must be house trained & friendly with other dogs. Boarding: If your dog is being boarded with me, they’ll need to be friendly with other dogs, including my playful pup and occasionally my roommate’s small Shih Tzu-Yorkie mix. They also must be dropped off with a crate. I want to make sure they are safe & happy!

“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.”
“Bailey was amazing! We had a new puppy and this was his first time staying anywhere. Bailey was extremely communicative, quick to respond with any questions, and a wealth of knowledge. Our boy had so much fun, we’d love to come back sometime ❤️”
“Tracey was great! She helped us out with a last min stay and took such great care of our dood, Miko. She sent plenty of updates and photos, and he came home happy, tired, and clearly well loved. So thankful for her flexibility and the care she gave him. Would absolutely book again!”
“Tara texted us the same night after we dropped our critters off at her house to let us know they were doing great. She even shared sweet details about how they were reacting and settling in with her. If I ever need to leave them again, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have them stay with her. As a former foster and someone who’s worked with a dog rescue, I can tell her heart is truly devoted to animals—honestly, I think she might even prefer their company to people!”
“I had the pleasure of having Jess take care of my pup for 5 days. From the very beginning, it was clear that she truly loves animals. Stella (Sweet Pea) was well taken care of, and Jess kept me informed with updates and photos to give me peace of mind while I was out of town. Stella (Sweet Pea) has separation anxiety, and Jess helped ease the transition, gradually introducing her to the other pets and helping her to feel more at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would definitely recommend Jess to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet care.”
“My Jax has stayed with DeAnne & Coop more times than I can remember. I can’t imagine leaving him with anyone else and hope I don’t have too. I can tell my Jax always gets lots of loving when he’s there. The pics and updates she sends daily when he’s there is wonderful. Thank you for being wonderful to my baby boy.”
“Tiffany did a wonderful job with our Evie. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout the week. Her home was very tidy, and she made a special space for Evie. When we picked her up, her kitty box had been cleaned, and all of her belongings were well organized. Evie is very shy, but she seemed to do well at Tiffany's home. We will definitely use her again, and we recommend her highly.”
“Kelsey is hands down THE BEST! I've always had dogs but never needed a sitter. I had week long trip coming up and for the first time in 40 years I found myself searching for someone to care for my Benny. Kelsey was quick to reply to my inquiry, offered me an abundance of reassurance and took all worries off my shoulders. We communicated effortlessly before, during, and even the day after my trip when she made sure Benny settled back in at home. I received adorable pictures, videos and updates throughout Benny's stay. Thank you Kelsey!!!!! I look forward to reaching out the next time Benny needs a friend to hang out with. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (10 stars)”
“Heather and Chris were amazing with Max. I loved how they sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Max was taken out for walks multiple times a day. They have a huge backyard for the dogs to run around and play. I could tell Max was very comfortable. I will definitely want Heather and Chris to care for Max again.”
“Amy was INCREDIBLE!!!! We have never done something like Rover before and let me tell you, if Amy isn’t available we will be moving our vacation around her schedule, she was so good!!!!! She sent updates throughout the day, everyday! Lots of videos and pictures as well! Our Willow got soooo much interaction with her dogs and other dogs, it was perfect for her!! We are so thankful we have found someone we can trust with our Willow! Thank you so much again Amy!!! Willow already misses Koda haha!”
“Melinda and McKenna were God-sends! We have a senior dog and we hate to leave her even for a day. Numerous photos and such a warm home was so assuring during our week away. We would not hesitate to use them again.”

“Layla has been a life saver on multiple occasions with accepting booking in last minute emergency situations. Our baby loves it there and we highly recommend Layla as a sitter!”
“Richard cared for our sweet pup so well while we were away. He ensures you know expectations all the way through the process and communicates in a way you know all the little details are handled for your furry friend. Thank you again!”
“Chayna is amazing! I've never seen our dog look happier than during her stay with Chayna. I asked for updates during her stay and she made sure to send plenty. This was a last minute booking as we had an unexpected schedule change and Chayna was able to work with us to get Hope a spot when we needed. Next time, we will make sure we book ahead of time and it will without a doubt be with Chayna! We highly, highly recommend her.”
