“Robin is awesome! I am so relived that we connected and now have a great place for Billy while we are away. Robin has a lot of experience with dogs and it shows. Billy was there at the same time she was watching 2 other dogs (plus her adorable puppy) and the introduction was seamless. She has a great calm energy that I'm sure the dogs react well to. She is also very responsive and sent pictures of billy while he was there. I am so pleased with the exeperience, I can't wait to leave him again. Thanks Robin!”
“I was delighted with Mandy, I don't speak English very well but that was not inconvenient for her I was afraid of leaving my baby with someone outside of the family, but as soon as we arrived and I saw how kind she is and how happy she was, my Golden took away my fear, She always had communication with me, she sent me photos and video that made my trip not so painful for me. when I returned to look for my baby he was happy I know that they took good care of him and I appreciate it. he already has a place to go that they love him the same as at home”
“We have utilized Rover four times over the last two years ... each time we have been disappointed. Until now. We booked with Stefani to watch our German Shepherd (who is 110% a people-dog) for 8 days. Stefani gave her so much one-on-one attention, long walks, unlimited play time, and all the things dogs love that she whined as we pulled away from her house! We received videos and texts every day with updates. Stefani will be our go-to dog sitter from now on! We almost did not book with her because we thought $55 was kind of high for dog sitting, but compared to the local kennels, the care and attention our dog received with Stefani was far superb than the top rated kennel in our area. She was worth every dime and we will absolutely recommend her and use her again!”

About: Hey fur parents, I just wanted to come on here and provide a 5 star service to you and your fur baby! Here’s a little bit about me… I’ve pet sat, walked pets, administered medication to many pets that require it on a day to day basis (via orally and injection), and many drop-in visits for a little over 5 years now to highly anxious, aggressive, and elderly animals. I’ve also worked it the veterinary field assisting doctors to provide hands on care to your fur baby for a little over a year now. I’m also in with the AKC. I compete with dogs in conformation, agility, dock diving, scent work, and barn hunt etc. and have been doing that for about a year with all types of breeds and sizes. I have always had a special connection with dogs and all animals for that matter and enjoy every second I can get with any of them. I look forward to doing some pet sitting or walking for you and your fur baby! I work part-time at the veterinary clinic (2 times a week for 5 hours a day) which gives me plenty of time during the week to play with your precious fur baby! I’m also a college student who has recently switched to online classes giving me even more time with your pet! I have a fenced in yard for endless potty breaks and plenty of play area! I have two loving Labrador retriever’s dogs to bring your pet a buddy to play endless tug of war with or if your pet isn’t on the energetic side just a good ole snuggle buddy! 😁
“I would recommend Melani 100 times over!!! She came highly recommended to us by a friend and we’re so glad we chose Melani to watch our pup the weekend of our wedding. We could tell she took such great care of our dog and gave her plenty of attention and exercise and sent us pictures of our dog so we didn’t have anything to worry about. She went above and beyond by bringing our dog to our wedding so she could be in some photos. 10/10”

“Taylor was excellent! He took great care of our senior cat, Jos, who can sometimes be very prickly around new people. He showed up on time, made sure Jos was fed and his litter boxes were cleaned, and followed all the directions we left for him. Taylor was attentive, friendly, and accommodating, and I would definitely book him for pet care in the future.”
“We trust Aaron to take care of Maggie and Gus when we are away. The daily photos and reports show that he spends time with our cats and they enjoy that interaction with him.”
“Amanda (Mandy) did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. She sent me daily pics and reports on them both..even on the one I have that hides. Mandy was sure to have eyes on them both before leaving for the day which was reassuring for me, she also took the time to hunt down the “hider” and move his food near him to make sure his brother didn’t get it. I will absolutely use Mandy’s services again and will recommend her to friends and family.”
About: I bring great loving energy to your cat and his or her space. Will be responsible in administering meds or taking special care for your fur family members. Looking forward to helping out and making you both feel safe while you’re gone.

“So thankful that Amanda was able to keep a check on our pooch while we explored the Blue Ridge area! Don't hesitate to book with her if you need some pet love for your furry friend. :)”
“Melanie is very good with the "fur babies". She takes the time to play with them and make them feel loved. She was prompt and timely on all her visits. She kept the house clean and orderly while we were away. I would highly recommend Melanie for any future "fur baby sitting" needs.”

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life. My mom worked in different animal shelters and boarding facilities my whole childhood, I always loved going to work with her when I could.

I am new to Rover, but I am excited to help out people in my community and confident that I will have plenty of positive reviews in no time.

“Robin was terrific with our cockapoo Sophie. Robin has a dog-friendly arrangement with a fenced yard and a magnetic screen for the dogs to let themselves in and out with. Highly recommended.”
“Stefanie was great with my fur baby Lizzie. Lizzie has anxiety and can’t be left alone or put in a kennel. Stefanie stayed with Liz every minute why we were gone. Stefanie took Lizzie on long walks in the woods and down to the lake. Stefanie updated me through out the day letting me know how Liz was doing and even sent me pictures of Liz through out the day. Liz stayed with Stefanie two days in a row. The 2nd morning we took Liz, she was so excited to see Stefanie. That means so much to a pet owner when your pet is happy to be with someone in their care. We will be using Stefanie again when we are back in the area. Thanks so much your the best Stefanie!”
“Our pup totally enjoyed her day! She seemed so happy (and tired lol) when we picked her up. Luna was a great playmate! We got a ton of pics and videos to see how her day was going. Kristen was so very sweet to us and our furbaby. We know she was well cared for and will rebook here again 💜”
About: Hi, I’m Maggie! I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. I have lived on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and cats, which gave me years of hands on experience caring for animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. After losing my beloved German Shepherd, I began fostering others through rescues. A journey that’s been both healing and incredibly rewarding. It’s deepened my understanding of different temperaments, training needs, and the importance of patience, structure, and gentle consistency. Whether I’m boarding, house sitting, or stopping in for a visit, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe and cared for like family. I treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I am currently working almost full time. I can spend evenings with your dog. I am usually gone around 6-8 hours a day at most. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I would only take outside on leash. I have a cat. I can keep the cat separated if needed.
About: Your dog will love it here. I have a large fenced in yard and am home most of the time. Your dogs would never be out of my site. I have a young Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix that loves to play with other dogs. We just moved from Florida to Dahlonega and am looking forward to watching doggies here. We are minutes from downtown Dahlonega and close to all the winery’s and many waterfalls and hiking areas. We also have a Mother-in-Law suite which is a one bedroom apartment with separate entrance if you need a place to stay. Check out all the photos of the dogs I have watched. I would be home with your pet for the majority of their stay with maybe a quick trip to the store They will get a fenced in yard with plenty of sunshine and couches to lay on in the lanai. With a fenced in yard and and a playful Lily and with lots of love from me, your dogs will love being here where they will be well taken care of.

“Aaron was absolutely wonderful with our two girls!!!! And we appreciate all the pictures and updates while we were away as I am definitely one of those worry dog moms!!!! We definitely know he will continue to use him as one of our girls is very picky on who she will poop for!!!! If you need anyone he is definitely the one!!!!!”
About: I was raised on a farm in PA and have been around & cared for animals my entire life. I'd love to help you care for your fur babies! I have availability most days unless we are away on vacation. I work outside the home, but my hours are flexible. I can usually work with your schedule, with enough notice in advance. I try to stay within 50 miles of my house, but feel free to inquire for house sitting if you live farther away. I may be able to accommodate, but additional cost may be added depending on location. I will also consider other animal care. Just contact me for price and details. I have experience with horses, pigs, chickens, goats, to name a few. House sitting/overnight care in your home: I would be at your home overnight a minimum of 12 hours, but i do work outside the home, so i may be gone 4-8 hours during the day. Walks/potty breaks will be within a 2 hour window of requested time If requesting care in our home (boarding) pets would need to be non shedding. I would limit it to 1 or 2 additional dogs and a meet and greet with my labradoodle would be required first to make sure they are compatible.
“Terri is absolutely wonderful with Jack. I am new at dog ownership - Jack is my first and she is not only walking him but helping me to learn what it takes to be a good dog-mom! Thank you so much for taking good care of Jack and sharing your advice, wisdom, and experience!”
About: I have 2 senior dogs with special needs so I'm familiar with administering medicine & the extra care that older babies need. I've cared for many dogs & cats over the years and love them all! I'm currently working part time in the afternoons. I have my mornings, evenings & nights open to help care for your pets while you're away. Since I have many pets at home, I'm currently looking to care for pets in your home. With frequent check-ins about their care, you'll always be updated about how they're doing!
“Katirna was a lifesaver when we needed a walker while visiting Blue Ridge for a wedding. She was so sweet and patient with our senior dog to the point where she took him out twice just to accommodate his slow walking. We highly recommend her to anyone living or visiting this area!”
About: I've taken care of puppies, handled diaper changing for a physically handicapped dog, administered medications and daily vitamins, walked multiple dogs at a time, and have handled emergency vet visits for a dog with a seizure disorder. I truly enjoy spending time caring and playing with animals, they add so much to my life. I am embarking on a new adventure, just having moved here to North Carolina. Besides being with my family, spending time in nature, and caring for our furry family members at home-the rest of my time will hopefully be spent caring for your furry loved ones. I wouldn't be able to board in my own home, but can definitely do a stellar job caring for your animals in any way that is needed.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from playful puppies to wise senior dogs. I’m experienced with giving medication, handling anxious or shy pets with patience, and sticking to your pet’s routine to keep them happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and attention to detail—I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of care, cuddles, and communication along the way! I will be working full-time on weekdays during the summer, but I’m still fully available for weekend bookings. For weekday care, my boyfriend—who also loves animals and has experience caring for pets—will be available to help with drop-ins, walks, and check-ins. Together, we make sure your pets are well cared for even during the workweek! If your pet needs extra attention during the day, I’m happy to work out a schedule that ensures they get all the love, walks, and snuggles they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and safe environment. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—from feeding times to walk schedules—so they feel secure and comfortable. I keep water bowls fresh, give plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get all the care they need, whether that’s cuddling on the couch or giving them space to relax. In your home, I treat it with the utmost respect and leave things just as I found them. Communication is key, so I always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: Ever since I was 10 I have had experience taking care of animals. At one point in time we had 26 animals throughout our house that we had to care for. I take pride in caring for animals because they are a true joy and blessing in this world. I also have a dog of my own who is very well trained that I have had for 7 years now. I have quite a lot of free time. Therefore, potentially walking and taking care of your pets will not only give me something to fill my time with but also give me immense enjoyment! Any scheduling conflicts you may have won't be a problem for me! My house currently does not have a fence, however I will gladly walk your pets on a leash if need be. I have a lot of experience with animals and have no problem walking or putting your animals in a crate if it is what is needed.
