“It’s not easy to find a sitter for two big dogs. We really appreciate you making it possible for us to travel knowing that our babies are safe and being cared for.”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”
“Tracy is the best! She took such good care of my dog, Will, he thinks he was at doggie camp! He had the run of the yard, got along well with other dogs, played his favorite games, took long walks. Excellent communication. Tracy sent frequent updates and photos, let me know how he was doing everyday. I had an extended unexpected travel delay, and Tracy was just great! I highly recommend her, and I definitely hope she’ll be able to take care of my Will the next time I travel.”
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
“Very nice and easy going. Understands animals very well and treated my dog like one of her own. Received pictures and updates on how my dog was doing. Very accommodating and welcomed anything needed for comfort of my dog and my peace of mind”
“We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to be! Austyn sent daily pictures and updates and our dog loved having such a big fenced in yard to play in! Great experience, will definitely be rebooking with Austyn !”
“Larry was awesome... daily pictures and updates as to how Rowdy was doing. Larry worked with Rowdy of several things (walking on leash and 'come' command). Larry has a huge, beautiful yard that Rowdy played his heart out. I highly recommend Larry when boarding your furry babies! Thank you Larry, I truly appreciate you! ???”
“Ashley was wonderful with our girls. She read their personalities perfectly, and sent lots of photos during their stay. We very much appreciated her care and attention. When back in the area we would definitely love to have our pups stay with her.”
About: I pride myself on being a loving and attentive pet sitter! Some of the services I am able to provide are long peaceful walks around my neighborhood and reliable transportation for small adventures like the beach! I have ample time throughout my days to provide excellent care for your fur baby. I work from home so I am usually always avaliable. My mail priority with any animal is making them feel safe. Whether that means treats and warming up slowly at their own pace, or playing until they can't play anymore!
“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”
“Lisa and Dean took great care of our dog. He must have been comfortable there because he rolled over for a belly rub, which he only does if he's relaxed and happy. Lisa sent lots of pictures, which was great.”
“Melanie is the greatest! She was so accommodating, extremely easy to communicate with and she provided daily updates with several photos. We are looking forward to our next trip soon and Melanie will be who we call again!”
About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life honestly. I was always told I had a “bee charm” because I’ve never had a bad experience with any animal, even ones others have labeled aggressive or unfriendly. I treat my animals like my babies. They’re people who just don’t speak English to me. I work in the restaurant industry so I don’t work long hours and I’m flexible. My sister is also a rover sister and she spends a lot of time at my house. I have a fenced yard in the back that my dog loves to sun bath in and do his business. I have a nice quiet neighborhood that we love to take walks around. My house is full of love. Me and my children love animals. Some would even say we baby them. My sweet boy sleeps at the end of my bed and when I leave I like to put on a movie or pandora so he doesn’t feel alone.
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Kariah is absolutely wonderful! She took very good care of my dog while we took ferry to the Cumberland Island. She sent us pictures and updated us about how my dog was doing. It looked like my dog was also having a vacation in her home. When we picked up our dog, it was such a nice surprise that she presented me a ‘thank you’ card as well as a dog biscuit as a gift. She is so thoughtful and sweet, and made our first time experience with Rover perfect! Thank you, Kariah!”

“Michelle was an excellent pet sitter! She was reliable, prompt and took very exceptional care of our 3 high maintenance cats! I would highly recommend her for any type of pet sitting service!”
“Ashley was fantastic! I have a skittish crippled cat who took a liking to her right away. She sent daily pictures and videos and she kept me constantly updated. Definitely rebooking her in the future 😁”
“Katherine was great with my two cats! She always followed up with pictures. She came by every day and played with my cats and gave them lots of attention. Some of her visits were more than two hours long! I highly recommend Katherine to care for any of your pets.”
About: Growing up with cats, I've learned how they behave, act, and want attention. Whether that be giving it some space, or playing, I'm there to give it exactly what it needs. I believe that cats are around to comfort us, but also to be comforted by their humans. They need us as much as we need them. I'm here to provide the means necessary to keep your cat happy and playful.
“Highly recommend! My cat was looked after so well and in every photo sent she looked so happy and taken care of when I had to be away for a few days. If you need someone who will look after your cat and provide them extra love I highly recommend these sitters!”
“Kaylee was wonderful, when we met I could tell she has had a lot of good experience with working with animals. We've never used Rover before and were nervous about leaving our babies behind for the week, but it went wonderfully. We looked forward to getting the daily updates with the pictures. If you're on the fence about using Rover, definitely do it, and if you can book Kaylee she is awesome! We will definitely use her again when we travel!”
About: I have always loved animals and caring for them. I started animal care in highschool starting with pet sitting moving into shelter work. I really enjoyed being able to play with and care for animals of all kinds. Though I have a special love for cats, having three of my own. I truly just enjoy getting to meet and spend time with different animals. I also love being able to get in some exercise of my own while going on walks with dogs.. I’m currently working part time at a doggy daycare. Which gives me plenty of free time to fill! I look forward to filling it with your fur babies! I have a large fenced in yard to spend plenty of outside time in safely with your pet. All dogs must be cat friendly. We are no strangers to couch snuggles too!

“I interviewed a couple people for drop-in services for my cat, Keesa and decided to book Landry because Keesa didn't hide from her! They were comfortable with each other, and as a cat mom, that's important because it means Keesa wouldn't be stressed. Landry was good with her. She texted me every time she came in and sent pictures. I recommend Landry, and would request again if needed.”
“Katia was wonderful! She kept our kitty lots of company, took great care of her and made sure she was loved and played with. She was great at keeping me updated and I have complete peace of mind while we were gone :)”

About: I love ALL animals regardless if they're wearing fur, feathers, fins or scales. I've been caring for them all my life! I have 2 dogs, a cat, a snake & fish at home! I'm currently self employed so I have plenty of free time to tend to everyone's precious pets! I don't discriminate, I love ALL of God's creatures! I take care of animals just like they're human children. I care for them with the most love, patience & tenderness. They're always naturally drawn to me just like children always are as well! I'm always available. Just shoot me a text to open a line of communication. I'll come meet your babies & take it from there! I'm able to provide as much or as little care they require. I do not care for pets in my own home aside from my own. I'd like to in the future, however I'm just not able to board them at the moment. As for caring for them in my clients' homes, I follow each fur parent's instructions exactly. I treat each animal as if they were my own which includes loads of love! That's how I'd want someone to care for my animals so that's what I provide.
About: Growing up we always had plenty of animals around, including dogs, cats, snakes, turtles, and more! Im a dedicated animal lover who has upmost respect for all animals. I’ve cared for puppies that could barely walk all the way until they were senior dogs who crossed the rainbow bridge, so I’m familiar with all types of care, energy levels, and needs! I’m a full time student at CCGA in Brunswick studying biomedical sciences, so spending time with fur babies is almost helpful with such stressful classes! I have plenty of time, any day of the week, to make pop in visits for walks or care between classes and can always stay overnight with your dogs if needed. Living in the Golden Isles all my life, I’ve come to find some really great spots! Beach walks, exploring trails, dog parks, and more can all be options for when I’m pet sitting!

“When Parys says she will treat your dog like her own, she truly means it. She is exceptional with our dog, Dexter, and always goes above and beyond to make each day special; whether it is a refreshing dip at the beach or a relaxing day soaking up the sun, he always has the best time! Parys quickly learned Dexter’s personality and knows how to make each day special for him. And her dog, Bonnie, is incredibly sweet and is the perfect companion for Dexter. Her communication is amazing, and we love getting pictures and updates throughout the day. We feel incredibly grateful to have found Parys. We know when we drop Dexter off, he will receive love, dedication, and trusting care.”
“Yvonne did a terrific job with our persnickety Shih Tzu, Fitz. She was patient and kind as he settled in, even after his hunger strike on day one. She sent pictures of him as we traveled, reassuring us that we had left him in the right place. Highly recommend Yvonne!”
“Jen and her family could not have been nicer, truly the best sitter we could have asked for! We felt totally comfortable leaving our pom with them during our weekend trip down to visit family—definitely recommend!!”

I run a sensory friendly home so I have lots of relaxing quiet corners!
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have only met a couple that was not interested in being my friend. Total dog dad with 3 seniors in the home, all are super friendly. They enjoy walks on the beach every day and are very comfortable around other dogs and people. Our neighborhood is very pet friendly and there is a park just a block away. I currently work from home and have a very flexible schedule. My pups get plenty of attention each day and enjoy playing with new friends. Your pup will be right at home in our house. It’s very relaxed and calm. We can also do drop in visits to your home, go to the beach, or to one of several parks on the island. I know how it feels to have to leave my furries behind, so with that in mind , I’ll do my best to keep them distracted while their humans are away.

About: I had a dog who was my best friend my entire time growing up. He passed away shortly before I left for college and since I often move around I have been unable to have my own. Instead I have pet and housesat for friends and neighbor's, and I have finally decided it’s time to take it to an official platform! I am a very active and outdoorsy person so if your pets love to play and go on walks I’m a great match for them! I’m currently working as a sea turtle next monitor which includes early mornings and into the afternoon. Currently I am having a longer commute two days a week down to the Jupiter area to help out, so I may not be a great fit for a longer stay dog sitting for the months of June and August. I’m a great fit if you need any late afternoon or nighttime checkins, or if you need someone to stay over and let them out early morning! I am very detail and attention oriented so whatever routine you have for your pets I will be sure to follow. I am great at communication and easy to reach if you ever need something while your fur baby is in my care :)

“They were wonderful with Teddy. They cared for Teddy and sent us so many awesome pictures and videos. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals — dogs, cats, and plenty of others. I’ve been there for them through every stage: from playful puppies and moody teens to their peaceful golden years. I know how to give every animal the love, patience, and care they deserve. With having plenty of free time, I love starting my mornings alongside furry friends—playing in the yard and soaking up the calm, happy moments together. I currently do not allow dogs/cats/any other animals in my personal home, due to our older dogs who prefer to be secluded in there geriatric years.

About: I am a zoologist in the making! My life has been intertwined with an array of animals and dogs are my specialty. From my very first dog Harley—a precious pure dachshund with stinky breath. . . to my second dog Whitney—a howler at heart and full blue tick hound dog. . . then my third dog Chloe—an elderly bow legged rescue hound mix, who my mother and I discovered at the beginning of our road lying in a field of grass completely exhausted and in desperate need of care and lovin’ . . . to my own personal dog (landing 4th doggo place) AND best friend, Bowser—a mixture of beagle, pit, pointer, and more, was a whoppin’ $4 at the local humane society and is still the best purchase I’ve made thus far in my life . . . to my mothers rescue and indefinitely considered my dog too, Basil (or “Nae Nae” coming in 5th place)—the sweetest butt rubbing driven bulldog and lab mix . . . and the second to last, is my mother’s dog, who I have taken care of throughout his existence and his name is, Hofner— a pure long-haired German shepherd who requires so much and who has been to doggie training classes with my mother and I both present, where I was able to grasp knowledgeable tactics. The final dog, who is now my only pet (Bowser passed away from Stomach Cancer, recently) is named, Jasper, better yet “Jazz the Spazz” — who is a nearly full blooded American Terrier, aka Pit Bull, who has no desire to understand personal space, due to his driven need for love and affection. He will turn the impossible snuggle area into the possible one and not let anyone or anything get in his way of illustrating his form of love. Let’s not forget to include my family’s—including myself—our two cats. Tigger was a tabby house cat and he defined the term “lone wolf.” Nickalina is a full blood Maine Coon rescued from Ukraine; where the journey to the U.S., thankfully landed her in our care. As for other peoples unique creatures in my care, the list ranges from snakes, to bearded dragons, fish, ferrets, parrots, and of course the good ‘ol doggies and cats. Oddly enough, Bowser sniffed out a toad one frosty nightfall during our nightly routine of “potty break/smell as much as possible” and there revealed my next creature who I would love and care for. She was a toad. A full blown, bumpy lumpy, amphibian who Bowser would chill with from time to time. Her eyelids were nearly frozen shut, but I brought her inside and placed her in a glass bowl with a small amount of room temp water to encourage comfort and not place her in shock. I placed it under a lamp and checked on her every few minutes till her eyes were wide open. She never revealed any uncertainty toward me and my intentions. Whether she knew she was safe or had lived a long life already (their lifespan can fulfill 11 years of toady experience) . . . Naula (Na-La: means “miracle” from an African lineage) survived a little over a year in her 10 gallon tank of a home, while also having moments of freedom in different environments. I had two turtles—Dude and KeKe—and I had them for many years and planned to transition them into a bigger tank to initiate more surface growth, rather than limit their abilities in a 10 gallon tank; though, I ended up having to move and they were placed in a good friends care. My aquariums have held an assortment of fish, sucker fish, AND a tiny frog who made lots of friends. Overall, my love for all sorts of living organisms holds no boundary. I’m not keen on spiders or roaches, but some have been gifted more chances at life from my random moments of “feeling bad” and the fundamental “capture and release” method. Therefore, I obtain an internal significance toward life in general, no matter the subject in existence. If I am not knowledgeable in a specific line of duty/work/task—I research and implement my findings with a full heart and awareness of other relatable factors. Challenges that come my way, only add to my intelligence and experience in this flashing life we have been gifted to LIVE. I am currently employed part-time as a server and a fill in manager. I have been an employee of Mullet Bay Restaurant almost 10 years! Thankfully, I can manage a flexible work schedule in order to find a better balance with my college schedule, life in general, and especially time with my daughter as a single mother. I am a college student and currently enrolled in the only university within Glynn County, Georgia, known as the, College of Coastal Georgia. My daughter, Isla Rose, is 4 years old. If the need for my presence involves an overnight stay (my daughter is solely my responsibility and will be an addition to the overnight stay, which frames my full confidence in her respectful manners and prior understanding towards the treatment of animals from personal experience and her general love for all—BUT, there can be arrangements made if homeowner/pets parent(s) are not comfortable with her inclusion). Whether my daughter is in my care or not, all animals that are in my future care will be making a friend (if the opportunity is consistent, I am aware it can take some time for the ones that require that additional time to build trust so my presence and actions are verified in their eyes) and I will represent the friend that they can rely on, feel safe around, will feed them when given instruction to, an expertise in scratches, and knows how to some fun. Your animal illustrating happiness through gestures and so on, as well as their safety as a whole, is my guarantee. I am in the process of searching for my own place outside of my mother’s house and into my and Isla’s own place. I am still deciding where exactly and heavily weighing all options, but the location will still remain in the same city or county; and when there is a decision made, I will post an update. I do not feel comfortable bringing other dogs to my mothers home, due to Hofner, her German Shepard, struggling with his role in the household and acting upon his instincts to be overly protective of my mother and her room and vocalizing to others he is aware of their closeness and can sense fear of uncertainty. Therefore, the possible attack from his own uncertainty of others or animals, as well as, his anxiety of holding the boss title within the household could be a result. My mother is a Nurse Practitioner and has a very busy schedule and lots of love toward, Hofner. He is amazing around Isla, though he needs more help in order to ease his stress and instinctive role as “BOSS.” We have to keep him and Jasper separate (wasn’t always this way), but Jasper has shown his willingness and desire to interact with other animals. Him and Bowser were always around each other. Though, I will be leaving my dog at home and can easily initiate ways for him to be taken care of while I am taking care of yours. If there is a will, there is a way!

“It’s not easy to find a sitter for two big dogs. We really appreciate you making it possible for us to travel knowing that our babies are safe and being cared for.”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”
“Tracy is the best! She took such good care of my dog, Will, he thinks he was at doggie camp! He had the run of the yard, got along well with other dogs, played his favorite games, took long walks. Excellent communication. Tracy sent frequent updates and photos, let me know how he was doing everyday. I had an extended unexpected travel delay, and Tracy was just great! I highly recommend her, and I definitely hope she’ll be able to take care of my Will the next time I travel.”
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
“Very nice and easy going. Understands animals very well and treated my dog like one of her own. Received pictures and updates on how my dog was doing. Very accommodating and welcomed anything needed for comfort of my dog and my peace of mind”
“We couldn't have found a better place for our pup to be! Austyn sent daily pictures and updates and our dog loved having such a big fenced in yard to play in! Great experience, will definitely be rebooking with Austyn !”
“Ashley was wonderful with our girls. She read their personalities perfectly, and sent lots of photos during their stay. We very much appreciated her care and attention. When back in the area we would definitely love to have our pups stay with her.”
“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”
“Lisa and Dean took great care of our dog. He must have been comfortable there because he rolled over for a belly rub, which he only does if he's relaxed and happy. Lisa sent lots of pictures, which was great.”
“Melanie is the greatest! She was so accommodating, extremely easy to communicate with and she provided daily updates with several photos. We are looking forward to our next trip soon and Melanie will be who we call again!”
About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Kariah is absolutely wonderful! She took very good care of my dog while we took ferry to the Cumberland Island. She sent us pictures and updated us about how my dog was doing. It looked like my dog was also having a vacation in her home. When we picked up our dog, it was such a nice surprise that she presented me a ‘thank you’ card as well as a dog biscuit as a gift. She is so thoughtful and sweet, and made our first time experience with Rover perfect! Thank you, Kariah!”
“We are repeat clients with Staci and trust her and her wonderful family to sit for our baby girl. Our dog had diabetes which makes it very hard to find someone to provide daily injections, Staci is a pro and caring sitter and her family treats our dog like their own! We appreciate Staci so much!”
About: I've always had and been around all types of animals, especially dogs. I'm passionate and patient when it comes to animals, and I'm also a people person, who's reliable. I had a dog for over 15 years who suffered with seizures, giving me experience in dealing with dogs with special needs or who need medicine administered. I also understand the importance of strict dietary and exercise needs in order to help a dog have a good life. I'm very active and I love to spoil animals, dogs have always been a favorite but animals in general are a great passion of mine. I'm currently working full time, but I lost my dog in November and I'm looking for a way to still get that puppy love fix. My availability will be rather consistent with my regular job allowing me to have Mondays off and I can work my schedule the other days of the week around helping out with having consistent schedules as well. Not shy to assist with training and positive reinforcement of good behavior. I'm available weekends and Mondays for boarding/walking and most other days for walks or visits and daily nourishment. My regulat work hours are 9-6pm Tue-Friday I have a fenced in yard with plenty of space and an otherwise pet free home so your animal will get all of my attention as my cat is staying at my grandmother's to keep her company
“Just an absolutely awesome experience! Super great communication. Beautiful home and neighborhood! It was so nice knowing our babies were well taken care of. 10/10 would use him time and time again and recommend to anyone looking for an AMAZING person to care for your dogs!”
