Highly-rated overnight sitters - Planter
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“She was very kind and attentive with our pups. She took the time to listen to us explaining their personalities, and ensured our pup with separation anxiety was well cared for. We will 100% be using her again for ANY future boarding needs.”
“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!”
“Look No Further, Stacy is the best dog sitter! I was so worried about leaving my 7 month old Havanese puppy for the first time. After many hours reviewing and researching dog sitters and meeting a few, I found Stacy. I loved her bio and reviews on Rover and as soon as I met her I knew I had found the perfect dog sitter for our Finley. She is such a sweet, caring, kind and genuine person who loves animals. She has been fostering dogs for years and has her own dogs she has rescued. She goes out of her way to get all the details that are important to you and your pet. I completely trusted her with Finley and have already rebooked for our next trip. She sends you updates and pictures throughout the stay. It was obvious Finley was well cared for and loved and was having a great time at her house. Her dogs were so well behaved and wonderful with accepting a newbie into their pack. He will probably be bored now that he is home and the only dog. Also her little girl is wonderful with animals and her husband is as sweet and genuine as her. Stacy and her family are truly special and go above and beyond to make your dogs stay a positive and fun experience. Oh one more thing... Her house is clean, organized and the dogs have easy access to her large fenced in back yard!! Finley will be excited to go back for his next stay!! I may need to get another dog for Finley! Highly Recommend!!”
“Great experience overall. They were very accommodating to my schedule, which I really appreciated. Responded to my messages quickly and they made the whole process convenient and stress-free. Highly recommend!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! 🌟 From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands, and that feeling only grew while I was away. I got updates, adorable photos, and it was so clear my pup was happy, loved, and treated like family. Coming home to a relaxed, happy dog says everything! Thank you for taking such incredible care and giving me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again, and I highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely amazing with dogs. You’re the best! 🐾❤️”
“Felicia and Bradley are awesome! They take such great care of my dog and sent me pictures and videos multiple times a day. Bubble had such a good time with the fam and will def return ;)”
About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule. I always try to make sure I feed my cat her treats once a day around the same time, so consistent feeding and cleaning wouldn't be that much harder with additional pets. I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.
“Becky is amazing! She was able to help watch my dog with very short notice. She was a true blessing! She was very accommodating and took the best care of my dog who has some special needs, giving him medications, sticking to a strict feeding schedule, and providing pictures and updates.”
About: Aside from owning 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a reptile, I have worked as a kennel tech at a dog daycare for almost a year. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and conditions, ensuring comfort and ample enrichment. Also, I am studying wildlife sciences to work in wildlife education and I love all types of animals (except wasps). Before the semester starts, I am available all week! After that, I can come spend time or board on mornings and evenings on weekdays as well as all weekend. With each pet and home, I’d make sure to take the time to familiarize myself the pet(s) space and preferences. I would care for and enrich the pet(s) as if they were my own, making sure to spend quality time in ways that are more receptive to them. I’m also open to accommodating various specific requests and also care for other pets (e.g. fish, snakes, bunnies, etc). I’m more than happy to welcome pets into my house. In those cases, I’d spend time testing compatibility and comfort in my environment with my own pets and accommodate the pet(s) as necessary to ensure low stress but plenty of enrichment. I also have a spare room I could host the pet(s) in.
“Avery was so nice and communicated well! I could tell my dog was treated very well and was having the most fun through all the picture updates she sent! Definitely recommend as a sitter!!”
“Riley was so amazing to work with and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in her care. Would highly recommend her services to anyone!”
“Annette was professional, communicative, and proficient. She took good care of my semi-senior Yorkshire terrier. I will definitely employ Annette’s services again, and I highly recommend her as a dog-sitter.”
About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs

“Samantha was so amazing! She followed instructions and gave me multiple updates throughout the visits! Provided great pictures. Our cat loved her and made the daily visits great. Thank you so much!”
“Once again I am very grateful for Darlene’s services and fortunate to have her care for my cats. My cats are not very quick to warm up to new people, but Darlene has a gentle and understanding approach which makes it easier for them to feel comfortable.”
“Sophia was fantastic!! This was my first time using her, and she was so sweet, very punctual, and took great care of our cats. I will definitely be using her in the future, and am so happy to have found a trustworthy person to care for our pets!”
“Rachel was a wonderful sitter and would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies. She was reliable and eased the stress of leaving my senior cat so I could relax and enjoy time with my new grandson.”
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. I grew up on a farm where we always had cats, so I've had experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, from playful kittens to independent outdoor cats and affectionate lap cats. Being around animals every day taught me how to understand their unique behaviors, recognize when something isn't right, and make them feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I've also helped care for senior cats, including administering medications, monitoring their health, and providing the extra patience and attention they need. I understand that every cat has their own routine, and I take the time to earn their trust while keeping them happy and stress-free. I'm extremely reliable, responsible, and detail-oriented. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, or simply spending quality time playing or cuddling, I'll care for your pets as if they were my own. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I'm committed to providing dependable, compassionate care and giving you peace of mind while you're away.
“Savanna is a wonderful house sitter! She took great care of my two picky cats that demanded lots of attention and effort to make them eat while I was on a business trip. My senior cat has to be fed wet food several times a day and has digestive issues, so I booked her for house sitting instead of drop-in visits. I left long instruction notes for when & how to feed him, and she kept every little detail I asked for and was always on time for the feeding schedule. She also sent me lots of pics and frequent updates. My apt was very clean and intact when I got back from the trip. Definitely recommend Savannah for any pet sitting & house sitting needs!”
About: I have been cleaning litter boxes and learning cat behaviors since I was a kid. I have never lived without a cat in my home. I currently have two cats that I love more than anything. I have pet sit cats with medical needs such as medication and complex feeding instructions. I am also comfortable with caring for older cats and young kittens that might need more assistance using the litter box and eating.
“Mallory was very friendly, and my cats loved her. She took great care of our house while we were gone and brought in packages that arrived. She sent photos and videos of the kitties, and she was easy to communicate with. I will definitely ask her to petsit again.”
“Lauren did a great job with our cat. She kept us updated daily. He was happy when we arrived home and the litter box was clean. This was a great first experience using Rover.”

“Alexis was awesome! One of my pups is a diabetic and it was a huge relief to find someone with the knowledge and ability to care for him and give him his shot of insulin. Highly recommend Alexis!”
“Alicia you were amazing!!! Thank you for taking such great care of my babies. They were perfectly happy and content when I got back and it’s because they had you to check in each day. You made this long trip bearable for all of us. The boys and I look forward to seeing you on the next trip!!”
“kathryn was so great with mitsi! she left me a detailed review of their time together (two walks in one day) and mitsi looked super happy in the photos. i’ll definitely be reaching out to kathryn in the future for times i need care for mitsi!”
“Ivy was fantastic. I really appreciated her attention to detail. She arrived on time for every drop in visit and took meticulous care of my senior dog. I will definitely call on her again in the future!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Planter
About: I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day. Living on 14.9 acres in Madison County, I provide a safe, spacious environment where dogs can enjoy structured outdoor time and plenty of individual attention. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, relaxed atmosphere, I tailor their care to their specific needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for by someone whose primary focus is their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dogs enjoy a structured daily schedule that includes supervised outdoor exercise, potty breaks, feeding according to their owner’s instructions, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.

“Annette was so great with my dog Nova! Her fenced in yard was perfect for playing and sniffing, two of my dog’s favorite activities! Nova had such a fun filled day and even took a trip to the dog park nearby with Annette and her dog!”
About: I have been providing care services and working with dogs since before my freshman year in college in 2016-17. Also, recently, I worked on a Research farm to further my knowledge on animal welfare, biosecurity, and the overall well-being of animals. I love what I do and always looking for new and different animals to provide care and I would be most honored! As of right now, pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine/schedule as I am currently working from home and finishing my master’s degree, therefore, I am flexible and available. I provide great and professional in-home care. For example, I am thorough and attentive throughout the stay by following the client’s care information and providing adequate potty and play times as well as any other routines followed in-home.
“Xionella is an excellent doggy dear care provider. My dog was happy staying with her and he made new friends with two of her dogs. I definitely will come back for her service again.”
About: Registered Veterinary Technician who works emergency medicine on the weekends looking for extra work through the week. I can’t stay at your house overnight, but your pet can come to mine. I can also do drop ins pretty regularly. I graduated college with a degree in Veterinary technology and passed my state boards. I work at an emergency clinic in Atlanta on the weekends and right now I’m free through the week. I can try my best to work out whatever you need help with. I’m skilled at giving medications and anything basic your pet may need in home, as well as lifesaving care due to any emergency. I can keep non child friendly cats in a different area, but dogs must be child friendly. I do have cats & ferrets, but they can be kept separately if your animals are not cat & small rodent friendly. I have 2 dogs as well. All of my animals are pet friendly with everything as many animals have come through my care fostering. I'm skilled in exotic pet care as well if necessary. I currently only work weekend overnights in the ER. So, I am home all week caring for my fur babies. As well as yours hopefully! I strive to care for anyone's else's pets exactly as I would my own. When they are with me, they are my babies too. I bring my ER compassion with me when I pet sit, in the ER the pets are without their owners & they are scared on top of being hurt. While my pet sits may not be hurt, I'm aware they could be nervous & unfamiliar. I try to treat them with the upmost compassion & kindness.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for dogs and lifelong experience caring for them. I’ve been watching and caring for dogs since I was 10, and I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same love and attention I’d give my own. I am a nurse but only work 3 days a week, and I’d love to help out on my days off! I have weekends off :) I provide safe and attentive care for walks and drop-in visits. I always follow your dog’s routine, ensure secure entry and exits, and keep them on a safe leash at all times. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and comfort, making sure they feel happy, calm, and well cared for while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and peace of mind are my top priorities
“Chayna was SO GREAT with my baby pup last minute when I came in town for a special event with my husband! She was flexible and took such good care of my baby! By the second day of dropping her off, Ahsoka literally beat me out of the car trying to get back to Chayna’s place! Will definitely use her if we are ever in town again! Chayna, thank you soooooo much! ♥️♥️”
“Angela is very responsive, sends plenty of updates during your dog's stay, and made our pup feel right at home! Plus she has an encyclopedic knowledge of all things canine. She was even able to accommodate a *very* last minute schedule change with no issues. I would absolutely recommend her for any of your doggy related needs!”

“Marlina was fantastic, was super sweet and accommodating for our shy puppy, especially with our dog’s needs for pee pads. She was very gentle and considerate in introducing her dogs to Luna one at a time so everyone could get acquainted smoothly and successfully! We loved the pictures taken throughout the day! Luna had a wonderful time during her play date with Marlina and her dogs!”

I am gone some evenings on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, but other than that my time is fully open to help your pets stay relaxed, happy, and healthy. My backyard has a fence, but it's currently old and unrepaired, so the gates cannot close properly, so any pets prone to running will be staying inside or on a leash. My house is very small, but my front and backyard are very spacious, ideal for pets that are uncomfortable in small spaces. My cat can be skittish around other animals, so I will need to keep her in a separate space from them, but my family's done that with many of our cats, so it will not be a problem for the client or their pets. My roommate stays inside most of the time, so but he's also very friendly and should not pose any issues for the pets.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other pets for last 8 years in my local community. I’m excited to expand to new clientele! I am currently a Graduate student at the University of Georgia and will be off for the summer and available at any time required for service. I typically visit 3-4 times a day, and can stay overnight if requested. I can take dogs on walks as many times as needed, and I will make your pet my priority in my day-to-day schedule. I am not able to bring pets to my home, but I will follow any requirements or schedules needed for your pet, in your home, so that they are able to be at peace while you are away.
About: I’m a fun loving dog sitter. I love playing with dogs, walking with them, and giving them tummy rubs. Being lazy is another quality I’m good at when me and the dog(s) don’t have anything better to do. I really do love animals. Their like fluffy teddy bears. Dogs deserve all the love and attention in the world. Weather they act crazy or not If the dog misbehaved then I would lightly pop it on the nose and say no but if the dog was nice then I’d give it tummy rubs
About: I have three years of pet care experience, including three years at a doggy daycare and boarding facility and two years as a veterinary assistant. I'm skilled in caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior animals needing extra attention. My veterinary background allows me to confidently handle medications, special diets, and recognize signs of illness. I’m also experienced with anxious or reactive pets and always prioritize their safety and comfort. What sets me apart is my blend of medical knowledge and compassionate, hands-on care. Pet care is an important and consistent part of my weekly routine. I currently work part-time as a veterinary assistant at a rescue hospital while completing my college degree in animal bioscience, which has deepened both my practical skills and understanding of animal health. Throughout college, I’ve also fostered cats, providing them with daily care, enrichment, and medical support as needed. Before that, I spent three years working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility, where I helped manage feeding, playtime, and behavioral monitoring. Whether through work, fostering, or my studies, caring for animals has always been a central and rewarding part of my daily life. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable and sticking to their usual routines. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m experienced with administering medications if needed and keeping the home tidy and secure while you're away. For dog walks, I focus on safe, engaging walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so your pets feel safe and happy in their familiar environment.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my hands-on experience with both dogs and cats. As a cat owner myself, I understand the unique needs of felines, and I provide a comfortable, loving environment for all pets. As someone who works from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m able to provide regular feeding, playtime, and walks throughout the day, ensuring your pet receives consistent attention. With a flexible schedule, I can accommodate special needs and adjust routines as required, all while keeping your pet safe and happy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space to play, relax, and receive attention. I follow your pet’s regular routine for feeding, exercise, and rest, while offering extra care if needed, such as medication administration or special dietary needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime.

About: I've always loved taking in animals and taking care of them whether they were my own or not. I have been pet sitting for about 3 years now, and I volunteered at an animal clinic in Athens, GA for 6 months. At the clinic I frequently bathed, walked, feed, and took care of many different dogs and cats. I currently only work a couple days out of the month and also complete college online, so my schedule gives me open and flexible availability! Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are all prioritized when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home. I always take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs such as feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences.
About: I have loved dogs since I was a child and have had them all growing up. Professionally I have worked at a overnight dog boarding kennel for two years! I work Monday through Friday with autistic children but I’m available before and after work as well as the whole weekends to take care of your pups! I love to take care of dogs in their own home so that they will feel more safe and secure in the safety of their own space!
About: Over the years, my husband and I have had several pets, from cats to dogs to lizards to chinchillas. At one time we had 9 indoor cats. We have a soft heart and it’s difficult to turn away a stray. Any time we see a stray in our neighborhood, we do what we can to find the owner. Our two dogs have accompanied us on many day hikes and they both love the outdoors as much as we do. One of our dogs, Rosie, was a stray that we took in at 1-year-old. She is now 16. We adopted our other dog, Clayton, at the age of one. He is now 12. We have deeply loved all of our pets and look forward to new pets in the future. The bond between humans and animals can be so special. It is something I cherish. I look forward to caring for your fury family member! I am a Yoga Teacher and teach only a few classes per week. I am also an artist. I have a lot of flexibility in my daytime schedule to care for and/or walk your pet. I am a responsible and reliable person. I make sure to do everything I can to create a safe, trusting, and loving environment while in the presence of your sweet babies. While I am with your pet, my top priority is their safety & happiness.

“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“She was very kind and attentive with our pups. She took the time to listen to us explaining their personalities, and ensured our pup with separation anxiety was well cared for. We will 100% be using her again for ANY future boarding needs.”
“Tim has stayed with Caylei multiple times now, and he absolutely loves it. He cries when I make him leave. Caylei is the first sitter he's had who can adequately care for him, as he has special needs, but she manages those so well and she treats him with such kindness. We love Caylei and are so thankful to have found her!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! 🌟 From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in great hands, and that feeling only grew while I was away. I got updates, adorable photos, and it was so clear my pup was happy, loved, and treated like family. Coming home to a relaxed, happy dog says everything! Thank you for taking such incredible care and giving me complete peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again, and I highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely amazing with dogs. You’re the best! 🐾❤️”
About: I don't have any professional experience, but I've grown up in a family that has housed a lot of dogs and cats since I was born. We've had 4 dogs and 7 cats from my early childhood until today, so while I did obviously have the rest of my family to assist with them, I've still had firsthand experience with a lot of different behaviors and habits of these pets and how certain traits or preferences vary between them. I finished college at UGA recently, so I'm currently at home full-time. Pet care would be pretty easy to fit into my weekly schedule.

“Becky is amazing! She was able to help watch my dog with very short notice. She was a true blessing! She was very accommodating and took the best care of my dog who has some special needs, giving him medications, sticking to a strict feeding schedule, and providing pictures and updates.”
About: Aside from owning 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a reptile, I have worked as a kennel tech at a dog daycare for almost a year. There, I worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and conditions, ensuring comfort and ample enrichment. Also, I am studying wildlife sciences to work in wildlife education and I love all types of animals (except wasps). Before the semester starts, I am available all week! After that, I can come spend time or board on mornings and evenings on weekdays as well as all weekend. With each pet and home, I’d make sure to take the time to familiarize myself the pet(s) space and preferences. I would care for and enrich the pet(s) as if they were my own, making sure to spend quality time in ways that are more receptive to them. I’m also open to accommodating various specific requests and also care for other pets (e.g. fish, snakes, bunnies, etc). I’m more than happy to welcome pets into my house. In those cases, I’d spend time testing compatibility and comfort in my environment with my own pets and accommodate the pet(s) as necessary to ensure low stress but plenty of enrichment. I also have a spare room I could host the pet(s) in.
“Avery was so nice and communicated well! I could tell my dog was treated very well and was having the most fun through all the picture updates she sent! Definitely recommend as a sitter!!”
“Riley was so amazing to work with and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. We felt so comfortable knowing our dog was in her care. Would highly recommend her services to anyone!”
“Annette was professional, communicative, and proficient. She took good care of my semi-senior Yorkshire terrier. I will definitely employ Annette’s services again, and I highly recommend her as a dog-sitter.”

“Rudy absolutely loved staying with Avery at her place! She and her husband are so kind and it's obvious they love dogs and care for them as they would their own. Rudy loved going on walks and cuddling. I highly recommend Avery as a petsitter and I know Rudy would love to stay with her again!”
“Patty was the absolute best with our new puppy when our other sitter fell through. She was patient loving and kind and even had to take her to the vet while we were out of town. I can’t recommend her enough.”
