“Ashley took great care of our two doggies while my husband and I were gone for our wedding and honeymoon. She gave us multiple updates on how our fur babies were doing which helped ease our minds while we were out of town so we could enjoy our time with friends and family. We didn’t want to board them in a kennel for that long and we definitely made the right choice with Ashley. Our doggies were very comfortable and well looked after. Probably were even more spoiled then they are at home. Ha! You will not go wrong choosing Ashley for your dog watching needs.”
“Carly was amazing with Haven while I was out of town. I absolutely loved the photo check-ins, they gave me so much peace of mind and it was clear Haven was having a great time. I also really appreciated that she was able to socialize with other dogs; I could tell she had an absolute blast. Highly recommend Carly and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“They were so great, and gave our pup a home away from home! We got pictures of our dog while he was there ans her communication was always excellent! We would recommend Karin and her son to anyone in need of a pet sitter :-)”
“Eve took amazing care of my dog, Oaky . He had an absolute blast & she sent pics of him at the end of the day. She has a good, friendly home set up for the dogs with a nice backyard. I highly recommend & will book again.”
“Seth’s a charm and welcomed my boy Thanos with opened-arms ! The meet and greet was ideal and the stay kept my boy warm, safe, and happy! Would definitely recommend and rebook him for any short, weekend, or extended trips!”
“Cynthia was an answered prayer!! My Daisy is 13 years old and had always stayed with my parents if I had to leave overnight. I had to be gone 3 nights and 4 days and found Cynthia on Rover.com. Immediately, she appeared to be someone I’d trust. I had no idea my Daisy would be so loved and cared for. as if she were her own! Cynthia updated me throughout each day with the cutest pics and text letting me know how well she was doing. She has 3 small sweet dogs of her own, that my Daisy bonded with so well with! I felt like Daisy was on a little vacation! It will not even be a second thought if I have to leave overnight again. Cynthia is and always will be my go to! She went above and beyond in so many ways! I am so grateful!!”

“We are visiting San Antonio and chose Sarah to watch our dog overnight so we could go downtown. We got to meet her ahead of time and felt very comfortable leaving our 11 month old dog with her, her family and the other dogs. The atmosphere is calm, it's apparent that they are set up for watching dogs, and have a fenced backyard so the dogs can play and socialize. I appreciate that our dog got to wear-off some of her puppy energy safely and was allowed to socialize with her children. She sent us with a little Christmas gift for our dog. We plan on using Sarah again while we are here.”
“Thank you, Alyssa! Our dog came home happy and in good spirits after his stay. Alyssa and her roommate were attentive to care details, responsive, and flexible. They sent updates and photos during our trip, and I felt confident that our pup was in good hands! I will book again w/ Alyssa.”
“Amber is such an amazing caregiver. She was so great with my pup. She kept us posted on all the things, sent us all the pictures and was just over all amazing! Highly recommend!!! Will definitely be using her again. Thanks AMBER!”
“This was our first visit and stay with Daniela. I must say that the intial meeting went very well. She was very welcoming us (Red) in to her home. This was our first visit outside of Red's home. Daniela was very informative during our meeting as well as throughout the stay. I will use her service here in the near future if her schedule is open when needed. I can't recommend her enough. Her home is clean and stable. I felt no issues leaving my boy there. Thank you Daniela!!!!!”
“My pups were well cared for and had so much fun with all of her puppies. It was like a Doggie summer camp! I'll definitely be using Kimberly again, I felt my pups were safe and I didn't have to worry one bit!”

“We were so pleased with the care our feline friends received. Chekerra was incredibly attentive and spent quality time playing with them. It was also very helpful that she went the extra mile to bring in our mail. We also had contractors coming to install flooring during our absence.And she worked masterfully to secure our pets so that they could be safe and not interfere with the crew when they did their work. She also informed us promptly after the construction was done that.The crew had left the house a mess. Her concern for our home in addition to our pets was very special. We truly appreciate the exceptional service provided. We will definitely be reaching out again for future needs.”
“Margarette was a fantastic house and cat sitter! She is quick to respond and you can tell she loves animals as much as we do. I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again. Thank you!!”
“Carly took good care of our cat Sally for more than a week while we were out. She was very communicative keeping me up to date during her visiting. She did a good job with all (feeding, playing, sandbox cleaning) and even took care of extra cleaning when needed (a dead lizard on my floor!). Thank you!!!”
“Morgan did an excellent job taking care of our cats while we were away. They loved the Cuddles, Playtime and Treats and the Photos every day were an added bonus. We HIGHLY recommend her.”
“Cassidy took great care of my kitties while I was out of town and gave great updates on them. She even left a pack of treats that my kitties definitely enjoyed when I got back! Definitely recommend Cassidy!”
“Rebekah provided my cat with excellent care while I was away. She was responsive to all of my questions and requests and completed her job duties within the identified timeframe. Most importantly, my cat was not as stressed as prior occasions when I returned home. I highly recommend her and will request her services again.”
“Seth is wonderful! He looked after our rabbits and my mother’s cats while we were gone for a week. He was prompt, communicative and kept the houses clean and animals well cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: I've cared for various cats over the past 5 years including both long hair and short hair cats. I have experience grooming cats, cleaning litterboxes, playing with cats, and trimming their nails. I'm looking forward to meeting your fur babies :)

“Sandy was great! She was very punctual and made sure that we didn’t have any worries about leaving our cats. This is the first time we have ever used a pet sitting service and it was definitely a positive experience with Sandy. She was great with picture updates and let us know how each cat was doing. If you’re on the fence about using Rover for the first time you can feel comfortable to go with Sandy, we will definitely be going with her in the future!”
“Harley has been amazing with our dog, Lola. I highly recommend Harley if you are needing your fur baby walked, played with, or checked on. Pictures are uploaded on the app so you can see her walk/visit!”

About: I LOVE ANIMALS! Growing up my family has always had animals. We currently have 2 dogs of our own. They are both very friendly. I love taking dogs on walks, to the dog park and making sure they get out and active! I make sure to always add in time to take our dogs for a walk or the dog park, or some other type of exercise. If we are gone long we have someone who comes and lets our dogs out of the house so they are not inside for too long. Our dogs are like our kids, they get their regular meals with treats, they have rules that they need to follow based on what me and my husband have agreed too.
“Karin and her son were wonderful dog sitters to our two dachshunds. They sent us updates and photos the entire time we were gone and I know the girls were as spoiled as if they were with us!”
“Seth did an amazing job caring for our dog. He was a great communicator, his house was easy to find and he took pictures throughout the day to send to us. We would definitely use Seth again.”
About: I grew up with all types of dogs and animals! While growing up on a farm and family property. Now I foster amazing dogs for Lowndes county humane society when I can! I have a pool that dogs are welcome to get it! My dogs love it as well as fans outside! Your dogs will come back home spoiled! I try my best a very flexible schedule; on some weekdays but I mostly do weekends and some holidays I’m in town! So pet care for me does not really affect my routine, it makes it so much better!! I treat every animal the same as I would if it was my own or a family members! I follow every instruction left to a tee and even then some!

“Our dog has never been so sad to leave a sitter, she took care of Jellybean and not only looked after her but ensured she was happy, from the moment we left her there we knew she was in great hands, Amber delivered and more, would definitely recommend if looking for a sitter, she was very responsive, understanding and friendly.”
“I’m so thankful that I’ve found Cynthia to care for my sweet Sadie Bear! She truly cares about the dogs in her care, and I feel comforted and relieved to know Sadie is so loved and well cared for when I have to be at work. Already booked again with her!”
“Kimberly has always done a great job with our elderly dog. Bailey loves spending time there and doesnt even look back when we drop her off. Kimberly updates us frequently and checks ib from time to time. We'll definitely continue scheduling with Kimberly in the future!”
About: Hi! I’ve been raising my 6-year-old male Husky since he was a 3-month-old puppy, so I understand structure, training consistency, and high-energy personalities. We also care for our 16-year-old female Toy Poodle. Senior care has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to manage age-related changes with calm and routine. I personally handle bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and grooming for both dogs. Our home has a secure backyard with a dog door for safe bathroom access, and daily walks are part of our routine. We are a family home with a child, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable in a home environment. I work part-time and manage family responsibilities, so I require advance scheduling. Weekday mid-afternoon availability may be limited, but I’m happy to discuss options to ensure it’s a good fit for both sides.
About: While growing up, there’s never been a time where an animal was not in my home. From dogs to horses to chickens to cats and much more. I currently have 2 rescues and know how much your four legged friends mean to you. I promise with any service you book with me, I will make sure to care for your pet just as much as I would care for my own. I’ve always loved animals and hope to pursue a career in taking care of animals as a zookeeper. I will make sure your pets will get plenty of walk and play time as well as making sure they are as happy as can be! I promise you won’t be disappointed when booking a service with me!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for many years. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... I love dogs, I’m a fur-baby mom myself I’m currently a stay at mom, I have plenty of time to play with your fur-babies and take them for walks. I’m available Monday-Saturday 8am-8pm. My fur-baby is very friendly and she enjoy playing with other dogs. I don't use cages, however if you prefer your dog caged, I can accommodate
“Ok, so, I held off on writing this review for a while until I processed and let me dog heal. Now that I have, I think it’s important everyone knows the kind of person Kira is. My dog, Winnie, was attacked by another dog while in Kira's care, and the way they handled the situation was nothing short of exemplary. Kira responded quickly and calmly, ensuring Winnie received immediate attention and the necessary medical care. She kept me informed every step of the way, which greatly eased my anxiety during such a stressful time. (For the record, Winnie was attacked by an aggressive dog at the WWC dog park which I gave permission for her to go to, so it was not her fault. The owners of the dog also ran away so they could not be held responsible.) Despite the trauma, Winnie was happy and well-cared for when I picked her up. It's clear that Kira genuinely loves animals and is dedicated to their well-being. Winnie had surgery the next day because the other dog ripped her gums from her jaw. She got 15 stitches but has recovered so well and is going great! Kira has checked in several times to see how Winnie’s doing. If you're looking for a responsible, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter, look no further. She truly cares about the pets they look after, and I am incredibly grateful for the exceptional care they provided to Winnie during such a stressful day. I can’t imagine how it would’ve gone if her sitter was someone less caring.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my whole life! I take them for walks, dog sit at home where they are comfortable, keep them occupied while you are away, making sure they are entertained, fed and exercised! Your dog will never feel lonely or bored! My schedule is wide open as this is my primary position, so as long as I don’t have a booking my schedule is all yours! I will take them for walks/outside to play/to use the bathroom. I will feed them as instructed for their nutritional needs and if wanted i can put background noise on(maybe shows/movies you watch at home) to make them feel more comfortable! Whatever they need I will provide!

About: I have owned, cared for and trained pets most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have entrusted me to walk, feed, bathe and love their pets. I have experience caring for senior pets as well. Since I don't have pets of my own, I am able to give your senior pet the individualized attention he/she needs. I recently lost my 12 year old Tuxedo cat, Bandit. She was the love of my life, and I miss her dearly. I'm looking forward to showing your fur baby all the love I can while you're away. I will do whatever it takes to ease their anxiety, knowing their owner is away. Hello, thank you for considering me. I recently retired from a 30 year design career with Interiors by Decorating Den, so I am home all day to provide a safe , loving, and structured environment for your pet. I am very dependable, responsible and trustworthy. I have provided boarding for family and friends as well as clients over the years. My grandson visits some weekends and will love having another pet to play and cuddle with at night. There is no area off limits in my home. Your fur babies are welcome to sit, stay, and play on the furniture, sleep on the beds, or lounge in the sun by the patio door. If your pet is crate trained, you are welcome to bring his/her crate or for your convenience, I have a small and medium crate available. Outdoors, I have a large grassy backyard for playtime and exercise. I have balls, ropes, and frisbees for your fur babies to play with as well.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have walked/taken care of all sorts of sizes and Breeds! I can handle aggressive dogs, too. I will also snuggle them like crazy if your dog wants that! I am currently unemployed and looking for more ways to get out of the house. I love to go to the dog park with my dog and get out into the community! My dog is spoiled rotten, so the same will apply to your dog! I can handle special feeding instructions or any other specific routines. I will follow any special instructions (even if you think they are odd or ridiculous!)
“Talk about top-notch! I’ve had nothing but excellent experiences with Morgan. I can tell how much care and effort Morgan gives from the excitement and anticipation I see Mochi have on the doggy cam, everyday during her visits! She brings treats and sits down to play with him which really helped to build a bond between them. I’ve even noticed that Mochi is less combative with his harness and collar since Morgan has started helping out. She takes pictures during every visit and will even restart Netflix shows on the tv before she leaves which helps keep Mochi entertained until I get home. Another thing that makes Morgan a wonderful walker/sitter is her flexible schedule. This means that I can always count on Morgan to make sure Mochi is taken care of while I’m at work. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! My name is Lauren, and caring for dogs is something I genuinely love. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, and I strive to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have hands on experience working at a vet owned doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable handling: * Puppies and high-energy dogs * Senior dogs needing extra patience and care * Dogs with medical needs and medication schedules * Reactive or dog-aggressive dogs * Anxious or shy dogs who need a calmer approach Because of my background, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, recognize stress signals, and adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. My goal is always to make your pet feel as relaxed and happy as possible while keeping you updated for peace of mind. I currently only offer care in the owner’s home because I believe many dogs are happiest and least stressed in their familiar environment. Staying in their own home allows them to keep their routine, sleep comfortably, and receive one-on-one attention and care. Since my husband is currently deployed, I’m back home full-time, I have a very flexible schedule and am available 24/7 for your pet’s needs. This means plenty of potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Not just quick drop-ins. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be nerve wracking, so communication is very important to me. I’ll always keep you updated with photos, videos, and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is in caring and capable hands. I treat every dog like they’re my own, and I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine since I currently have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening, and overnight care depending on your needs. I do my best to follow your dog’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Consistency is always my goal, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or potty breaks. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I provide care in the owner’s home, your pet stays in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and anxiety. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medications, and behavior guidelines. With my background working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, I’m experienced in handling dogs of all temperaments, including puppies, senior dogs, medical needs, and dogs that may be reactive or need extra patience. I always use calm, attentive handling and prioritize positive, stress-free interactions

I play with pets, walk with them, make sure that they have everything they need and don't even know you're gone. If I am staying at your house I will keep it clean and no messes will be made!
About: I’ve been dog sitting for the past 10 years, I have also fostered many dogs! Additionally I worked in a vets office for a over a year and I am comfortable giving medications and providing any other special care! I recently stopped working so my availability has opened up a ton! I have plenty of time to provide requested pet care services, even with last minute requests. We have a large unfenced yard but will keep your pup on a leash/longline to ensure they stay in the yard, they will always be supervised when outside! I would prefer a meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everyone gets along well, we can also keep your pup separate from our dogs if you prefer 😊.
About: I have experience with cats and dogs. Young and old. I can administer medication if needed. They will have all the love and attention they will need. Everything will be followed per your instructions. I am self employed so I have a very flexiable schedule to drop in whenever. I will always update my schedule and if you happen to see that I'm unavailable but you need me send me a message and we will see if we can work something out. Wether you need your dog walked, fed or played with I have you covered day or night. Same goes with your cats. I will play with them as if they were my own. And dont worry about the litter box I got it. Your instructions for your pet will always be followed. I will go above and beyond for your fur baby. They will have all the love, excerise, and play time they or you require that they have.
About: I have experience with various pets such as Great Pyrenees, Great Danes, Yorkies, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, long hair cats, short hair cats, Poodles, etc. I also have experience with reactive dogs as well as training dogs to sit, stay, lay down, heel, and reduce unwanted jumping. I have taken care of pets by grooming them, supervising play with other animals, feeding, cleaning up any messes, trimming nails, etc. I'm looking forward to take care of your fur babies :) I'm currently a university student, so please be courteous with my schedule. I am free most weekends, mornings, evenings, and nights. During May-August I will be available more for pet sitting. I pay attention to your pet's body language and do not overstep their boundaries. I am able to properly use a shock collar (if one is provided or requested) while still maintaining a good relationship with the pet and use positive reinforcement as well. Pictures of your pets can be sent while they are under my care at your request. I am able to keep pets under control during walks using positive reinforcement and handle encounters with other animals well during walks.
About: I’ve had pets for 25+ years, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Whether it’s giving meds, keeping a routine, or just making sure your pet feels safe and loved, I bring years of hands-on experience and a whole lot of heart. I treat every animal like family because that’s exactly what they are. I work from home with a super laid-back schedule, so I’m around pretty much all day to keep your pets company. Whether they need regular potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to chill with, I’m here for it! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home. I always follow the routines you provide and keep a close eye on behavior or anything out of the ordinary. I believe trust is earned, so I’m happy to give updates, photos, or videos to keep you in the loop. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or a longer stay, you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I have a joy and comforting love to give and bring to all pets! With excitement and lots of fun playing and well taken care of I currently work at a job that is part time mainly night time.

I would 100% recommend her to everyone. Thank you!”
“Finding Jhanya has been a game changer! She is fantastic with my dog, and I feel so much better knowing Zeus is getting exercise and attention while I'm at work. Jhanya is trustworthy, communicative, and truly loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found her!”
About: I am very attentive with animals, organized, on time, and currently looking for some extra ways to earn a little more cash. I’ll make sure any requests you have are done the way you wish. I can feed, play, walk, and give any medications to your pet if necessary. If you have a usual walking route you like taking i’d be more than willing to comply.

I’m only available on weekends preferably mornings, unless you request ahead of time (no guarantees). please let me know if you have anything specific i should know about your pet thanks you :) I am looking forward to spending a small part of my day with your fur babies :) I currently work full-time, but have more than enough time on my hands on weekends and some weekdays depending on my schedule for the week.

“Ashley took great care of our two doggies while my husband and I were gone for our wedding and honeymoon. She gave us multiple updates on how our fur babies were doing which helped ease our minds while we were out of town so we could enjoy our time with friends and family. We didn’t want to board them in a kennel for that long and we definitely made the right choice with Ashley. Our doggies were very comfortable and well looked after. Probably were even more spoiled then they are at home. Ha! You will not go wrong choosing Ashley for your dog watching needs.”

I play with pets, walk with them, make sure that they have everything they need and don't even know you're gone. If I am staying at your house I will keep it clean and no messes will be made!
“I was very happy with the service I received! She provided a secluded area for my dogs to be at peace and daily check-ins. My dogs came back happy & healthy. I feel safe leaving my animals with her. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets for family and friends, including dogs and cats with different needs and personalities. I’m experienced with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets happy and safe. My current hours of work are 7:30 am - 3:30ish pm. I’m available throughout the weekend definitely and may possibly be available throughout the day sometimes. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment whether pets are in my home or their own. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions like medications or special diets. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel relaxed and secure.
“Charlotte was amazing! She short-notice took care of my pups over Memorial Day weekend and took care of them like her own. And they’re a handful! She was wonderful to work with, extremely trustworthy, and my doggos are now completely spoiled. Thanks immensely for everything.”
About: I'm super flexible and can tailor my approach to fit exactly what your pet needs! Plus, I'm all about making sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and has a blast while you're away. I make pet care a priority by structuring my day around their needs. Walks, playtime, and feeding times are all carefully planned to ensure they get the attention and care they deserve. It's like having a furry, fun-sized boss who dictates my schedule! Safety first! Whether it's my place or yours, I make sure the environment is free of hazards. Trust is built through consistent, loving care, and I always respect your home and rules. Basically, I treat every pet like they're my own and every home like it's my grandma's – with lots of love and respect!
“We are visiting San Antonio and chose Sarah to watch our dog overnight so we could go downtown. We got to meet her ahead of time and felt very comfortable leaving our 11 month old dog with her, her family and the other dogs. The atmosphere is calm, it's apparent that they are set up for watching dogs, and have a fenced backyard so the dogs can play and socialize. I appreciate that our dog got to wear-off some of her puppy energy safely and was allowed to socialize with her children. She sent us with a little Christmas gift for our dog. We plan on using Sarah again while we are here.”
“Thank you, Alyssa! Our dog came home happy and in good spirits after his stay. Alyssa and her roommate were attentive to care details, responsive, and flexible. They sent updates and photos during our trip, and I felt confident that our pup was in good hands! I will book again w/ Alyssa.”
“Amber is such an amazing caregiver. She was so great with my pup. She kept us posted on all the things, sent us all the pictures and was just over all amazing! Highly recommend!!! Will definitely be using her again. Thanks AMBER!”
“My pups were well cared for and had so much fun with all of her puppies. It was like a Doggie summer camp! I'll definitely be using Kimberly again, I felt my pups were safe and I didn't have to worry one bit!”
“She did a great job! She sent plenty of updates and pictures. My flight got delayed by 24 hours. She was able to keep my dog for an extra day and was flexible on the pick up time. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I’ve had them all growing up. I like going on walks or jogs with the dogs or keeping the cats area clean. I’m a tech at the hospital so my schedule varies sometimes but I will always update based on my schedule. I can take pets on walks after or before shift (7a-7p) Very careful about dogs and leashes especially if there are no fences. I like brushing dogs and making sure cats boxes stay clean. Making sure hey have food and water is important.
