Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ivanhoe
“Shayla is the best of the best! It took me quite a few tries to find a sitter that I loved and now that I found Shayla I will never use anyone else. She is always super accommodating and flexible. She takes great care of my two dogs that have totally different personalities. Every time I say “let’s go see Shayla!” they run straight to the car. I’ve utilized her services for day care, short trips, and even longer trips of more than a week. I’ve had to go out of town on two different instances when one of my dogs was recovering from two different surgeries and Shayla took excellent care of her. She always goes the extra mile, from putting coconut oil on my dogs itchy skin to sending me the cutest updates and pictures through out the day. You can’t go wrong booking Shayla!”
“Renee took great care of our boy while we were away for the weekend. She kept us updated with photos each day, and he clearly had plenty of playtime, as he went straight to sleep when we got home. Highly recommend l, and will definitely use again.”
“Second time watching my fur baby. Maria does such an outstanding job! I was able to have peace of mind on my vacation while my dog was with her knowing that she takes care of my fur baby like she’s one of her own. My dog got excited the second she realized she was at Maria’s house. Maria’s other dogs are all so sweet too! I highly recommend her. ❤️”
“Jupiter really enjoyed her time with Taylor! I was a little nervous since it was my first time using Rover but Taylor updated me every morning on how she was doing. Our dogs got along perfectly & I will say I do plan on booking with Taylor again in the future!”
“Jessica provided excellent care to Ollie and kept us advised daily with pictures and videos. We will definitely use her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their loved one.”
“Brandy is the best sitter we have had, she took súper good care of our Kiba, you can tell Kiba was very happy staying with her. During our time away Brandy keep us updated constantly of what our baby was doing with text and pictures which allow us to enjoy our time away knowing that she was having a good time as well. Thanks a lot Brandy you will be without a doubt our first option for boarding for future needs.”
“I could tell when I picked Babe up that she enjoyed her time at Bambie's. She came home relaxed and happy. Plus, Bambie has a wonderful fenced yard and her dog is friendly and playful, just what Babe loves.”
“Christina was awesome! We received many pics and videos of how she was doing, never for a second did we worry about our Greta. I wouldn't think twice about leaving my pup with her again!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful with Mike. He is a young puppy, and she handled him with so much care, patience, and attention. Her home is perfect for dogs, and Mike was happy and comfortable the entire time. I truly felt at peace knowing he was in such good hands. I highly recommend her!”
“isabella was so good with my 2 pups! she was very sweet and always kept me updated and sent photos. she has great communication skills and i will definitely be using her again! thank you isabella!”
“Gen was wonderful from start to finish. She is great at communication, has the perfect home and yard, sent pics and updates while we were away, and wasn't bothered by our Birdy's extreme excitement when she first got there. I would definitely love to book her again the next time we go out of town.”
“Oliver had such a great time over there. I feel like he enjoyed his Christmas vacation because of his new buddy Sadie and the warm welcome of the entire family. I really appreciated the daily updates and check in’s. Made me feel better about leaving my puppy with someone that would take care of him so well.”
“I was so pleased with Saavi’s stay at Brydget and Chads. From the updates on his day to pictures from his stay, I felt so comfortable leaving him while I was away. I would definitely book again!”
“I genuinely wouldn’t leave my dog Larry with anyone else. RoseAnn is amazing, so kind and understanding and is clearly so great with animals. Larry loves staying with her, she sent updates on how he was doing, and while I am always very uneasy leaving Larry when I go away on vacations, the second I got to her house to drop him, I was so at ease, because I remembered how well he was taken care of last time. Thank you so much RoseAnn, genuinely so grateful!”
“Winnie had so much fun staying with Qinrong and Big John! The whole family was so welcoming to her and we received many updates with pics and videos while we were away! Thank you for your care and love to our Winnie while we were away! 🫶”

“I was nervous to have someone come into my house and take care of my cats. Ashley was great and my cats were well taken care of. I will definitely use her again. She made the whole process very easy and I enjoyed getting pictures of my cats every day.”
About: I love getting to know each cat at their own pace, especially those who may be shy or take some time to warm up. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and plenty of attention while respecting each cat’s comfort level and personality.
“Michelle has taken care of our cats on numerous occasions for over 2 years now. Shes always such a pleasure and super caring!! We know they are in great hands when we’re away.”
“This was my first experience with Rover, and it was great. Meep can tend to be nervous and anxious when I get home after an absence, but with Melissa taking care of her, this was the calmest I have ever seen her. Meep LOVED her, and recognized, as do I, Melissa's kind heart and great love for animals. She sent me pics of Meep each day, so I could have peace of mind knowing Meep was in very good hands. I highly recommend Melissa as a pet sitter!”
“Crystal is awesome, always flexible and timely. She does a great job with the Rover card explaining what the animals did or she did with her visit and she takes plenty of pictures. 10/10 highly recommend!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our 2 dogs! She responds quickly, sent us pictures from her drop ins, and my dogs LOVED her!! We will definitely hire her next time we need care for our dogs!”
“Cheryl watched our cat while we left her alone for the first time, and she gave us peace of mind while we were away. I hope she’s available to watch her again during our next trip!”
“Highly recommend Timothy! I needed last minute help with my 2 pups (lab and great dane) and it was perfect! The boys were taken care of and happy! Great communication and on time for my appointment! I will be using him again for sure!!!!! 10 🌟!!!!!”
About: I have a ragdoll cat that it was to rescue from a really really bad home. She had bad fleas and a lot of scabs and a really bad chicken allergy. I was able to nurse her back to health and get her in a stable condition she has been with me for two years now and she has not had a single outbreak since we discovered her chicken allergy so I know how to get a cat medicine and treat open wounds. I also know how to handle a cat with allergies.
“Lillian was very helpful with my animals. She was on time for each visit and did some extra playing with my animals which I really appreciate she communicated with me very well if she wasn’t sure about anything, but she did an amazing job and my animals loved her. Definitely will be booking with her again.😊😊😊😊😊”
About: I have taken care of all size and age cats with I was very young! Cats take a little more finesse than dogs and we are their personal waiters lol I have given insulin to kitties also have had to give thyroid medication orally so I grisly have patience with the cats!
About: I’ve been taking care of pets of all kinds since I was a little girl, from the family pets of cats, dogs, birds and hamsters. To pets of all ages and kinds, of friends and neighbors. Walking, bathing them, helping to nurse them back to good health after surgery’s to even just taking time to sit and snuggle and talk with them when owners are busy with work or vacation. I’m currently working for the Elementary school. I have a break at lunch to come and care for pets needs during the day that might have a sleep over or I’m free at 5pm Monday- Friday to come and care for pets. I’m off on weekends and have very long holiday breaks due to working for the school as well as summers off. I have lots of extra time to make sure your family pet never feels lonely while in my care. I have a big fenced in yard. And a nice large downstairs space with hardwood floors. My neighbor is perfect for taking walks, very low traffic. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, which means more time for yours. I do have 2 very responsible and loving nine year old children that can’t wait to help be hands-on with caring for your pets as we don’t have any of our own ( as of now).
“Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with. Her visits are well documented with cute pics and detailed information about the visit. Her comfortability level with the bully breed was a huge plus! I highly recommend Shannon's services. Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.”
About: I understand that every cat has their own personality, some are social and playful, while others prefer space and a calm environment. I’m comfortable adjusting to their needs and letting them come to me on their own terms. I keep litter boxes clean, follow feeding routines closely, and make sure your cat feels safe and stress-free while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide playtime or just quiet companionship, depending on what they enjoy.
About: I have had all kids of fur babies since I was 5. Dogs, cats, reptiles, even helped rehabilitate and release some wildlife for a few years. I am free almost every day to play with, walk feed or bathe your fur babies! Weekends are also free for the most part! see you soon! I currently have a 2 year old Mountain Cur mix who is my little shadow! She is part of the family and she is spoiled rotten.

“We reached out to Maria for a last-minute request and she was not only able to accommodate, but was very flexible with us. Sika had an awesome time lounging around with Maria and her family; I thought we may have a hard time getting her to come home with us! 🤣 We will definitely be reaching out to Maria in the future for any of our sitting needs for Sika in this area!”

“Helia treats our baby like family and we joke she has a boyfriend with Kratos (the best play mate!). Helia will send the best photos and videos and it’s so nice to see my baby happy. We won’t go anywhere else”
About: I've had animal experience as long as I can remember. I've had a ton of pets growing up, from ferrets, to fish, to cats, and of course dogs. I had to take care of all of them and all of the responsibilities in taking care of a pet. Animals make me a happier and better person. One day I plan on owning and operating my own pet day care, where you can bring any animal you'd like and myself and my crew will take care of them Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is take care of my pet; I let my dogs out and I feed them. They go out multiple times a day and get fed twice a day. I will provide your pet with as much outside time as needed. If you have a crate and they consider their crate as their safe space, I will be more than happy to set it up in my home.
“Gen took great care of Maisie this week! Maisie had lots of time to play and snuggle! Gen was super accommodating with our crazy schedule! We would absolutely leave our Maisie with her again!”
About: I have a passion for animals particularly dogs. I enjoy having them around and they bring me joy. Let me bring joy to your fur baby. I off early on Friday and I don’t work on weekends. I have a small dog that i take care daily so having one more bring joy to both of us. I do have a fenced in backyard and I could crate your dog if needed I did take them for daily walks to get some exercise
About: I've had dogs my entire life and cared for pets of others as well through the years. My husband and I both work from home so we have availability to look after the pets of others daily. We have a dog a cat who get along with other pets. We have adopted puppies and young adult dogs and successfully trained them to be very good dogs. We have cared for senior dogs as well. In our home the pets can be wherever the humans are, including the furniture indoors and outside. I am self employed and work from home so my daily schedule is very open for pet sitting. My husband also works from home so there is always someone home to look after the pets and make sure their needs are being met. Our home is very dog friendly. Everywhere humans can be the dogs can be also. The backyard is fenced in and the gate is rarely ever opened. We have cameras everywhere so we always have a visual of what's going on inside and outside in the yard. If needed we have a baby gate to section off areas for pets.
“Tiffany was very nice and easy to schedule with to take care of Sakura at last minute pretty much! She kept us updated of everything and Sakura liked her son too! Thank you so much Tiffany!! We appreciate you!”
“Piper loves her stays ❤️❤️ I really appreciate the great communication and all the picture updates. I’m usually very cautious about sending Piper to other people’s home, but Brydget and Chad put my mind completely at ease. I never have any worries when Piper is with them, and I fully trust their care. Plus they get all of Piper’s photogenic angles 😉”

About: Hello! We are an animal obsessed family with a huge yard! I have 3 dogs (a female pug age 9, a silly female doodle dog, and a male medium mixed breed) so if I am caring for your pet in my home I would ask they be dog friendly to my babies. ***we also have a 5 year old boy, and a 2 year old boy ,so must be kid friendly! I have a large fenced in yard and acres of land. We love all dog breeds, and dogs of all sizes, however my male dog is scared of large male dogs and I have a fragile pug so I prefer if the dog is large, he/she be calmer. I am very passionate about animals. My husband and I are huge pet lovers and we will welcome your babies with open arms. We also have a separate temp controlled building/tiny house if your pet prefers a quiet environment. Either my husband or myself will be home most of the day, longest we would be away is 2-3 hours, so your fur baby will get plenty of attention. We have a few acres for your pet to exercise. There are plenty of dog friends to play with any day at our pet palace! Along with our own dogs, we sometimes have foster dogs from a local rescue! There is a fenced area with a pool if your dog would like swimming time. They will have 24 hr supervision. I will accommodate to your specific feeding schedule etc. Either my husband or I are home almost 24/7! Lauren works part time and from home so your baby will get all the love! We have lots of experience with administering meds, we also foster for Coastal Pet Rescue and have plenty of experience with medication schedules, specific diets. *We do have small children in home. We take care of all pets as if they were our own, of course! We will make your pets feel comfortable while you are away! Your pets will feel comfortable and safe until their mom/dad returns.
About: With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, my life has truly revolved around man's best friend. I have raised dogs from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, learning how to read their body language, manage different temperaments, and anticipate their needs. Dogs are not just a job for me—they are a heartbeat for me. Over the last two decades, I have handled everything from administering daily medications and managing strict dietary routines to providing adequate playtime and basic obedience reinforcement. With over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, my life has truly revolved around man's best friend. I have raised dogs from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, learning how to read their body language, manage different temperaments, and anticipate their needs. Dogs are not just a job for me—they are a lifelong passion. Over the last two decades, I have handled everything from administering daily medications and managing strict dietary routines to providing structured play and basic obedience reinforcement. I have a massive, fenced yard where your pup can securely run, play fetch, and burn off energy safely throughout the day!! A typical day/schedule would flow similar to this: Mornings: * 7:00 AM: Morning potty break in the huge yard, followed by a fresh breakfast and water. * 8:00 AM: A brisk morning walk or active fetching session to burn off early energy before work starts. * 9:00 AM: As I log onto work, dogs settle into my office. They can snooze on a cozy dog bed right next to my desk or look out the window. Afternoon: Play Breaks and Stretch Time • 12:00 PM: Lunch break! We head out to the big yard for 30 minutes of supervised play, sniffing, and sunshine. Afternoons/Evenings: 3:00 PM: A quick stretch and potty break. If a puppy needs a strict schedule or a senior dog needs frequent relief, this is when they get extra attention. Evening: Wind Down with added Hugs/Cuddling/Loving up on them! • 5:00 PM: Workday ends. We celebrate with dinner and a long, relaxing evening walk around the neighborhood. • 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM: Couch time. Dogs hang out with me in the living room for brushing, belly rubs, and plenty of love. • 10:30 PM: Final potty break in the fenced yard before a safe, peaceful bedtime. Daily sweeps of yard for any hazards; constant supervision, especially during yard times and feeding; transparency in meet ups, daily video or photo updates can be provided to help with any uneasiness or anxiety; leashes used during walks; this list is not all inclusive.
“It was my first time leaving my baby at a daycare and I couldn’t be happier. She seems to have had a great day! I loved the pictures and the check-in in the middle!! Made me miss her a little less!! Thank you for taking such good care of my girl!”
“Cristina is such a warm and welcoming woman and was happy to care for our babies in the same way that we do. We have two special needs dogs and she took care of them brilliantly. They had so much fun at her house that they came home completely tuckered and ready for bed (this is not an easy feat for the Jack Russell). We highly recommend her and the dogs are looking forward to more trips to her home. Thank you, Cristina!”
“Titus and Molly had the best time at Erica's she took really good care of them and they enjoyed playing with other pups. Thank you Erica for taking such good care of our furr babies they had the best time.”

She is 11 now I have worked with a senior Great Pyrenees and I know these aren’t dogs, but I have taken care of multiple rescue animals from anything from fish all the way up to a cat and I have nursed every single one of them back to health so I do have experience giving animals medicines My schedule is a little bit all over the place.

About: Welcome to Bed N. Biscuit Petcare!❤️ My name is Shayla (34 years old) and I am excited to share my petsitting journey/business with you. ▪️Get to know me: I was born and raised in Valdosta, GA. In my hometown, I volunteered at the local animal shelter for 4 years working with domestic, exotic and farm pets. I knew then animals was my love and enjoyment. Following my passion for animals, I moved to the city of Savannah where I graduated from Armstrong State University with a bachelors in Biology and volunteered at a local wildlife rehabilitation center. I have learned and developed my Veterinary skills and knowledge from working as a kennel technician caring for pets in a boarding environment then naturally transitioning to a Veterinary technician career at a general vet hospital and then later at a specialty practice that included oncology, neurology, physical therapy, internal medicine and also ER. I enjoy applying my years of experience to the well-being of animals and now offering pet care services. My dream home would be living on a farm but for now my husband (Antonio), our son (Levi) and I live with our pitbull mix (Pixie) and cat (Sir Tom). When not volunteering or fostering, I can be found at dog parks with Pixie or fishing with my husband and son. I currently work part time at a local veterinary hispital and offer drop-in services around my work schedule and boarding in my home. ****Please continue to read to ensure full understanding of my business.

About: With over 6 years of pet sitting experience and 15+ years caring for my own animals, I treat every pet like family. I’m dedicated to providing personalized care, your way, ensuring your pet feels loved and safe while in my care! My open weekly schedule is a little bit tricky due to me working full-time about 20 minutes away. My availability on those days would only be to the pets who don’t need to be let out side for about an eight hour period until I got home. Otherwise, my weekend schedule is fully open and I can be home all day to let any pets outside that I would need to. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of attention, playtime, and walks—with help from my two kids (ages 9 and 11) to keep them company. Pets are welcome on my furniture! In your home, I’ll follow your routine closely and tailor care to your pet’s needs in any way you request.

About: I started my animal career as a dog sitter and walker in middle school. I was always the go-to girl in the neighborhood whenever anyone needed a pet sitter. I took my passion for dogs even further and became a dog groomer. I was a professional dog groomer for 5 years before I started having issues with carpal tunnel. I still groom a bit on the side if needed. Dogs are my passion, and I hope to one day start my own rescue group and sanctuary for homeless dogs. I treat every dogs as if they were my own. I have worked on dogs as small as 3 pounds, and dogs as big as 225 pounds. I am comfortable with all breeds and do not discriminate against “bully” breeds. Let me be your first choice in animal care and your fur baby will thank you! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I am available for one-time jobs, occasional jobs, and regular scheduled jobs. I am also available weekends and holidays! Unfortunately I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment. I live in a very quiet apartment complex that also has a dog park on the property.

“Shayla is the best of the best! It took me quite a few tries to find a sitter that I loved and now that I found Shayla I will never use anyone else. She is always super accommodating and flexible. She takes great care of my two dogs that have totally different personalities. Every time I say “let’s go see Shayla!” they run straight to the car. I’ve utilized her services for day care, short trips, and even longer trips of more than a week. I’ve had to go out of town on two different instances when one of my dogs was recovering from two different surgeries and Shayla took excellent care of her. She always goes the extra mile, from putting coconut oil on my dogs itchy skin to sending me the cutest updates and pictures through out the day. You can’t go wrong booking Shayla!”
