“Ollie had a wonderful stay and Julie was incredibly accommodating with our trip being extended! Beautiful, clean property! We will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“Sam had a wonderful time with Jennifer and her family. She kept him for us two separate occasions in a row. We were able to enjoy our time without worrying if Sam was OK. Receiving updates and pictures throughout the trip was like Sam was on a doggy vacation. I can't thank her enough for treating him as one of the family.”

“Charity was absolutely incredible with my lab and golden who stayed with her for 6 days. I was very nervous using Rover for the first time and as soon as I met Charity, she eased all my fears. She has so much experience with her dogs, as do her adorable children and they were so sweet with them! She sent me a lot of beautiful photos to ease my mind while we were away and handled my lab throwing up on the second to last day with such grace like a pro. My dogs were so welcomed and relaxed into their home very quickly. My golden takes a lot of supplements and Charity was so precise to even notice that I left one of the supplements off my instructions and she messaged me to confirm. She was extremely responsive and communicative through the entire process from my inquiry just a week and an half before our trip until even after we got home checking in on my lab. She’s amazing!!! I would 1000% recommend Charity to anyone looking for a caring and kind pet sitter who will treat them like her own. I would love to book with Charity again in the future for any short trips we take!”

Lucy loved her porch and fenced yard. She had so much fun playing with her dog Coco! She sent pictures daily which I loved and looked forward to. It was hard to leave Lucy for a week but felt completely comfortable leaving her and will definitely book again! Thank you so much!! Lucy can’t wait to come back!”
“It has been great working with Bryce! He has been really easy to communicate with and sent pictures while our pup was away! I am so glad we found him and have already rebooked! Thank you!!”

“This was our first time leaving our cats and hiring a pet sitter, and Kathy made the whole experience so easy. She’s such a sweet, caring person, and we could tell right away our cats were in good hands. Cinnamon usually runs away from strangers, but she warmed up to Kathy immediately and stayed by her side the whole time during the visit, which honestly shocked us in the best way! We’re so grateful we found her on Rover and will definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Molly is wonderful! She really cares about animals and it will show when she cares for your pets! She was so great with my cats and gave me detailed daily reports on how well they were doing. She's kind, caring, and very positive which is refreshing. She got my cats to really warm up to her and I have already booked her again for another trip. If you hire her, I'm sure you will be more than happy!”
“Emmanuel was amazing! After another sitter canceled last minute on us, he jumped in to help us. He was very responsive and was very kind. He did wonderful with our two cats. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Charis dropped in to see our 5 cats each day over a 4 day weekend. She is so easy to work with and wonderfully detailed regarding her visits! We have her coming back next weekend, and I know the cats will be well taken care of. 😊”
“They did an incredible job taking care of my two cats. I was nervous about boarding them but they had a nice guest room set up for them (not a cage or kennel). They kept in touch and were very responsive and flexible. Would definitely use them again if we need to board our kitties.”
“Amber is wonderful! She met with us before taking our dog out and made sure everything would be taken care of with our sweet senior dog. She communicates great, is friendly, sent us pictures and videos of our girl and took care of the home. I highly recommend her!”
“Nikki was phenomenal. She took care of our 5 kitties while my husband and I were away. She checked in each day with a detailed report and sent tons of pictures. She didn't just "stop in, do the job, and go." She stayed at least a half hour each time and loved on our babies. She played with them, sat with them while they spent time on the patio, and gave them lots of love and treats. We would highly recommend Nikki to anyone needing pet sitting.”

“Jennifer took wonderful care of my cat for a week while I was traveling. She is truly an animal lover and was prompt, sent a detailed report, communicated to me very well, brought in the mail and most importantly gave my cat the attention and love he needed. He was quite content when I got home! I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who needs pet sitting services!”

“Scarlett is an absolute angel! After a medical emergency the super last minute help was a lifesaver. My dogs loved her and she gave them so much affection. We definitely recommend and will definitely rebook. Thanks Scarlett!!!!!!!”
“Stephanie was the Purr-fect sitter for our shy 7-month-old kitty. She sent us wonderful photos of his play times which put our minds at ease while we were away. We could tell that our kitty was getting lots of attention and the best of care. Stephanie was always on time for visits. When we returned home, our kitty let us know that he had a new best friend in Stephanie.”
“Katie has set an absolutely new standard for us when it comes to pet sitters. Each visit she was attentive and made sure our cat that needed medication received it like clockwork and if you know cats, giving meds isn’t always easy. Her updates were fun to read and made it clear both our cats were happy and well cared for. Katie is such an animal lover and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking care for their fur baby.”

“Ali and her family to such good care of our golden retriever for the day. When I picked him up he was relaxed and happy. He went on two walks, including one to the creek, and obviously received lots of love and attention from everyone! He had been very apprehensive when we first came for a meet-and-greet but Ali was so kind to him and he soon felt right at home.”
“Lina was great. She sent pictures throughout the day which eased my mind since this was the first time Bella had ever stayed away from me. I have already re-booked for an overnight stay.”
About: I've always had pets of my own or in my care; from my childhood golden retriever mix to the cats that have allowed me in "their" home, to working as a caretaker in a Georgia county animal shelter and fostering kittens, puppies, and adult dogs through Athens Canine Rescue, animals make me happy. .

About: I work from home and would love to host and care for your fur babies while you are at work or away on vacation. I have loved animals of all types my entire life. My husband and I formerly rescued and fostered multiple rat terriers and placed them in loving homes through an organization called New Rattitude. I currently have a volunteer position with the same organization as a microchip coordinator. While I was in high school and college I worked for two animal clinics in the Metro Atlanta area and volunteered with local animal shelters. My family pets over the past 22 years were 2 Rat Terriers and 2 Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mixes that all lived to be seniors. I have experience in caring for dogs of all ages. Since I am at home so much, your dogs will be not be lonely, they will be doted on and treated like royalty. I have a large fenced in yard for sniffing, exercise and exploration.

Playtimes and naptimes will be intermittent throughout the day. I have comfy doggie beds throughout the house and under my office desk. My home is clean and safe. I have a secure, fenced in yard with many areas to explore and space to run around. All gates are padlocked. I also stay outside with the dogs that are in my care. I leave a full bowl of water out 24 -7. I allow dogs to sleep in my bed if that is what they are accustomed to, I can also crate them if that is preferred. Your dog(s) will be safe and happy as guests in my home. I have a Red Cross Certification in Pet First Aid in the rare occasion there would be a need. I am also sensitive to dogs with thunder and firework fears, we have a comfy furnished basement space that mutes the bad sounds and we hang out there until everything calms down.
About: Create a peaceful and loving space for your furry friends! I focus on providing comfort-centered care for anxious and senior dogs. My specialty is small senior dogs and “micro-dogs,” but we’re happy to welcome all pets. I grew up on a Wisconsin farm with a variety of animals, including deer, raccoons, rabbits, cats, and dogs. I truly love animals and believe no home is complete without them. For our guests, I have a fenced-in courtyard with pet turf, a lovely nature trail nearby, and a dog park. I offer a calm and quiet environment filled with cuddles. I see pets as family members and will treat your fur babies with the utmost care. My 8-year-old daughter has been helping with pet care since she could walk. She often assists neighbors with their pets and plants while they’re away. She’s responsible and the neighbors trust her completely. I work from home and am always available to take care of the fur babies. My home office is next to the courtyard entrance so the pups can be let out any time. I have a fenced courtyard, and I’m also home with an 11-year-old chi/rat terrier mix. Pups will receive plenty of love and attention. Nature walks and a dog park are just a short walk away!

“Jennifer was very communicative and responsive to the things that we addressed. Aster had a great stay with her. We are comfortable and confident to leave our pup in her care. We definitely will contact her again for future daycare and boarding. Thank you, Jennifer!”
About: I’ve been fostering dogs for a local humane shelter for the past three years, caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Through fostering, I’ve gained experience helping dogs adjust to home environments, build trust with people, and feel safe and comfortable in new situations. I’ve also grown up with dogs my entire life, which has given me a strong understanding of their needs and behaviors. These experiences have made me patient, adaptable, and confident caring for dogs of all kinds, whether they’re energetic puppies, shy rescues, or senior dogs needing extra attention and care. I currently work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, especially during the summer. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks on most weekdays and weekends. I make it a priority to keep pets on their normal routines. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I do not currently have any pets, which allows me to give your dog my full attention. With my experience fostering dogs from a humane shelter, I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I always follow owners’ instructions closely.
About: Dogs hold a special place in my heart — especially rescue pups. My own dog was rescued from Kosovo, so I know firsthand the patience, love, and extra TLC that rescued dogs sometimes need. For 10 years, I’ve been the go-to person for walks, feeding, bathing, and all-around tail-wagging good times. Shy, anxious, or high-energy — I’ve loved them all. I don’t just watch dogs, I get them. Expect real-time photo updates, happy zoomies, and one very tired, very content pup waiting for you when you’re back! I work from home full-time, which means your pup is never left alone! I’m available for walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the entire day — mornings, afternoons, evenings, you name it. Flexible scheduling is my middle name. Your dog will feel right at home with me! I have a spacious yard where pups can run and explore freely. I also have an 11-year-old dog of my own — a calm, gentle companion who’s great with visitors. The yard is not fenced, so I always supervise outdoor time closely to make sure every pup stays safe and sound. Your dog’s safety is never left to chance!

About: I’ve grown up around many different dogs. Neighbors, family, and friends have asked for me to care for their older, younger, tinier, and larger puppy. I am a college student excited to give love and care to your animals while you are away! I am free every day of the week and will do my best to meet each time requested :) I understand that new faces can be exciting and nerve wracking for some animals. I approach all with gentleness and care while reading what your furry family wishes to do next. I can handle dog walks, running, feeding, and cleaning any messes our friends make!
“Kathy was amazing! We recently had her do daily walking for our dog Raolcan. She was communicative and professional, friendly and did a great job with Raolcan. I know he was happy to make a new friend for these last few weeks. Definitely recommend her! Thanks Kathy!”
“Charis did a wonderful job with my scardy cat dog. She was willing to meet her early and let my dog get used to her before their first walk together. She’s been super quick to respond and very communicative! It’s made me worry a lot less about my pup through the day!”
“Gina has been absolutely wonderful. She is reliable, kind, and truly cares about the dogs she walks. She always sends updates and makes sure the dogs get great, thorough walks. Alaska was always happy and well taken care of, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend her.”

About: I am incredibly reliable and flexible when it comes to pet sitting. I love my fur baby and I have a passion for learning and understanding all kinds animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pet and I understand how hard it is to leave our pet at home alone. I love training/exercising with them every day and they push me to be the best I can be. I work from home most of the days. I have a dog named Lex who brought so much joy and happiness to my life. I live in a 5 bedroom house with a backyard with plenty of space for the pets to romp and play. I look forward to meeting many new buddies ! :) I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to walk them and play with them all day long. I am available to board them both during weekdays and weekends. I have a backyard fenced on one side and I can also crate them if necessary. They stay with me in my room while I work and also allowed on the furniture to make them comfortable. I have plenty of space in my house for them to play around.
About: Hi, I’m Charity! Having had animals all my life, I truly have a deep love and respect for them. To this day, one of my most favorite jobs was my very first job in high school at a dog boarding facility a short four wheel drive through our woods. My responsibilities there were to let dogs out, love on, clean/sanitize kennels, feed and administer medications, and clean up the dog yards. I gained so much experience with different breeds while there, which made me fall more in love with dogs specifically. As an adult, my first dog was a West Highland Terrier named Gabby that my then fiancé (now husband) surprised me with. She sadly passed at 14.5 years old in October of 2024. We also have bench bred/English Labradors named Abel & Jett. Jett is the first dog I’ve had that I got involved with dog shows and sports with. He has multiple titles from obedience, dock diving, fast cat, conformation, and hunt tests. I am a stay at home mom which allows me the freedom to be available for your dog majority of the day aside from when I need to run errands. BOARDING: We have a spacious home on a culdesac with a large fenced in backyard. When caring for pets in my home, it is incredibly important to me to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-loved while providing lots of snuggles and play time. Daily updates of how your dog is doing along with pictures are sent to help keep your mind at ease. During a client dog’s stay, they will be on the main floor with our family. We have a basement with access to the backyard complete with a dog room furnished with 3 4ft x 6ft kennels, Kuranda beds, & orthopedic beds that my personal dogs will utilize, and is available for client dogs as well if needed. I also have a baby gate on our laundry room doorway off the kitchen that can be used for client dogs to have their own private space. This allows me to ensure every dog stays safe when not supervised. *I typically only board one client at a time. This allows your dog(s) to get all the attention and, I believe, have an easier transition staying in a new place vs there being multiple dogs from different clients. If a ‘regular’ requests the same dates, I will sometimes make an exception and let both families know there will be an additional dog. With my home set up, I am able to comfortably keep several client dogs separated and will only allow interaction between them with the approval of both families. DROP INS: During drop-in visits, our time is spent going out in their backyard for potty breaks and play, going on walks, getting loved on, and fed if needed. Any quick tidying I can do in the house (vacuuming, mop up if it’s muddy outside, wipe down counters, scoop out a litter box, etc) I am happy to do as well.
About: Pet Bed & Breakfast! Your pets will be on a vacation themselves, as I enjoy going above & beyond in spoiling them with cuddles, playtime, several potty breaks, and walks to explore and get active! I thoroughly enjoy hosting pups from all walks of life (pun intended); I will love & care for your dog as if they are my own. I value safety, communication, and comfort as the foundations behind how I operate, and being a true lover of animals, this is something I genuinely enjoy doing. When the pups are happy, that’s when I’m happy. I also enjoy befriending the pup’s families & building a rapport, so that you don’t feel like you’re leaving your pet with a stranger, but rather a friend you can trust will care for them. Growing up I was surrounded by animals. I had 3 dogs, 4 cats, a horse, and several small critters; pets are my passion! I used to Rover back in college and loved it so much, I’m doing it again for fun! Since beginning, it has been so much fun having a cuddly friend around and I thoroughly enjoy Rover & the amazing pups it brings my way. I am gentle, reliable, patient, and energetic! I prioritize both pet and owner comfort ie. Meet & Greets are essential before pets come to stay. I’m big on communication so be ready for lots of cute photos throughout your pup’s stay! I’m experienced giving medicine to cats & dogs- my lab growing up had arthritis and I regularly fed her medicine. My childhood cat also took thyroid medicine 2x daily. I also had to give my other elderly cat regular medicine injections. I take animal medicine administration very seriously, so you can trust that your pet will be healthy & comfortable during their stay. Cuddling, long walks, playing, and hanging out are my favorite activities to do with puppers and I also adore my feline friends. Potty breaks take place in neighborhood and private back yard. I don’t have any roommates, so your pets will be safe with me. I have a flexible work schedule & work from home, so I enjoy the company of the pups while I work. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so potty breaks can be as frequent as needed. I also enjoy the outside time walking pups gives me! I’m a big cuddler and have plenty of space inside for all the critters to have their own turf. Inside your home, I treat your home with respect and always try to leave it looking better than how it did when I got there: full bowls of water, a content fur baby, and a full belly!
About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life. I grew up training my dogs in my backyard as a kid and always had lots of pets. I foster dogs and cats at my home and do TNR in my community to help control the kitty population. I believe in positive reinforcement and giving grace to all animals. I have six animal loving kids that enjoy playing with and spending time with the animals in the house. I work full time from home so often take breaks to go spend time with the dogs in the backyard (also helps me get those steps in!) or go cuddle kittens. Dogs are all fed in crates to ensure safety while eating and also maintain correct diet for each animal. I give positive reinforcement for behaviors. I have all wood floors so accidents are not a huge deal and are to be expected as a dog has a change of environment. Cats will be kept in their own room with my son away from all other animals so they can have peace while here. Dogs are allowed outside in a fenced in yard. Depending on how they get along with other dogs - they will have a doggy daycare type experience here.

“Leasia was on time, very professional, very well toned to Orca, very passionate about my Orca needs, very kind and considerate and passionate. I would recommend her to anyone and plan on using her again. Orca loved her.”
“Taylor was amazing! She gave us a play by play of her entire visit with Kirby! It was so reassuring to know he was being cared for and able to follow his usual routine! Taylor also sent us pictures of their walk and visit. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I understand the stress and anxiety that come with leaving your pet in someone else's care because I've been there myself. I also have experience caring for my own high-acuity pets and understand the extra attention, patience, and vigilance they require. My goal is to provide high-quality care so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and treated with respect. I also offer care during off-hours in the evening and morning! I'm currently enrolled in college part-time and have plenty of time to ensure your pet's needs are met! I'm available 5 days a week as I designated 2 days towards class lecture and school work. Upon entry of every home, I like to identify any potential hazards or risks so I can be extra viligant and safe when providing care for your pets. Personally, I ensure my own yard is secured and free of potentially harmful plants and objects.
About: I've lived with animals since my birth, practically grown on a farm I've been around nearly every animal across the USA. Cats, dogs, bunnies, rodents, and more. Scaley or furry I will do my best to care for them As of now I am searching for a job, so I'm free practically 24/7. I just recently moved! And I'm still getting some things moved over. So depending on the time, I might need some leniency. I am very patient with animals, so whether they have an attitude, personal space issues, or have accidents a lot, I'll be by their side through the entire visit
“I reach out to Emmanuel to walk my dog and it was a great decision I'll definitely use his services again in the future he did really great communicating and sending me pictures of my dog. Thank you.”
About: I'm patient, attentive, and experienced with dogs of different ages and all personalities. I focus on making each dog feel comfortable, happy, and cared for! I’m able to fit in drop in visits and walks into my schedule during the week and available most weekends for dog sitting if needed! I follow each pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention and comfort, while keeping owners updated with messages and photos throughout my visits.

“Ollie had a wonderful stay and Julie was incredibly accommodating with our trip being extended! Beautiful, clean property! We will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“Sam had a wonderful time with Jennifer and her family. She kept him for us two separate occasions in a row. We were able to enjoy our time without worrying if Sam was OK. Receiving updates and pictures throughout the trip was like Sam was on a doggy vacation. I can't thank her enough for treating him as one of the family.”
“Charity was absolutely incredible with my lab and golden who stayed with her for 6 days. I was very nervous using Rover for the first time and as soon as I met Charity, she eased all my fears. She has so much experience with her dogs, as do her adorable children and they were so sweet with them! She sent me a lot of beautiful photos to ease my mind while we were away and handled my lab throwing up on the second to last day with such grace like a pro. My dogs were so welcomed and relaxed into their home very quickly. My golden takes a lot of supplements and Charity was so precise to even notice that I left one of the supplements off my instructions and she messaged me to confirm. She was extremely responsive and communicative through the entire process from my inquiry just a week and an half before our trip until even after we got home checking in on my lab. She’s amazing!!! I would 1000% recommend Charity to anyone looking for a caring and kind pet sitter who will treat them like her own. I would love to book with Charity again in the future for any short trips we take!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sara! She took excellent care of our pups and gave extra care to our elderly dog. It is such a relief to know your dogs are being well taken care of and loved while you’re away!”
“Marisa and her family were very warm and caring with Elliott. She sent us daily pics/videos, communication was super easy, and we could see how happy Elliott was during his stay. The kids got along super well with him and we will definitely recommend her!!!”
“Grateful, yet again for Alfonso’s services. He was flexible with the winter storms coming in. The one time Alfonso was not available to watch Lionel I found another dog sitter and Lionel did not do as well with her. I always try to book with Alfonso first.!!”
“Michele and her family were absolutely amazing. They were the best pet sitter we’ve ever had for our pup. Her son was so sweet with Stella and loved playing with her. Michele followed all instructions perfectly, provided updates, and sent lots of pictures and videos. We will absolutely be using Michele and Trenton again, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Kobe and Cocoa are best friends now! Cocoa absolutely loves having dog friends, and Kobe had the best time with Nicole and Cocoa. Kobe clearly had so much fun with them. Nicole sent us regular photo and video updates, which made us feel completely at ease while we were out of town. We never had to worry. We will definitely be leaving Kobe with Nicole again next time. Highly recommend!🐶”
“Melissa is very accommodating and friendly. She made us feel comfortable right away. She loves and cares for dogs and that is directly reflected in her communication. We had a last minute change and had to leave our pup for 1 extra day and she was really sweet to keep her. Mia came back happy and healthy! It is like our pup had her own vacation when we were away.”
