Personalized care for your dog or cat - Royston
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Royston
“This was my frost time using Rover and I was really nervous leaving my puppy. Donna was the best she took great care off out baby, she even sent us pictures during his stay. I highly recommend Donna if you want the best for your fur baby ?”
“Chayna was wonderful! Very kind and professional, and she also has a great space that my dog could have fun and be comfortable in. She also sent lots of photos and videos of my sweet pup which was great to receive while out of town! Will definitely be a repeat customer :)”
“When I say that Caylei is amazing, I really mean that. My cat, Tim, has special needs and can be temperamental/ really grumpy, at times. He has been fired from several boarding facilities for his bad attitude. Well, Caylei was willing to take him on and not only that, her care and patience was rewarded with a super happy cat all week! I am truly so thankful to have found her. She sent me updates, photos, and videos while I was gone, which really helped ease my mind. We have a few other trips planned that I wasn't sure we would be able to take if Tim misbehaved for her, too, but everything went significantly better than I ever hoped. Caylei is smart, caring, knowledgeable, and very competent in pet care, even in special circumstances. I can't recommend her enough.”
“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!”
“Nicole was fantastic! Amelia loved her stay with you! Thank you for taking good care of my fur baby!! Nicole was very communicative, sent lots of good cute pictures! Thank you, I appreciate you!”
“Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.”
“Stacy took care of Bear as if he was her own pet and provided us updates throughout his stay. Bear seemed like he was having a ball and was comfortable with her family in their home. We highly recommend Stacy and will definitely book with her again!.”
“Cassandra and her family were great. This was our first time leaving out Boris in 4.5 years and I think we experienced more separation anxiety than he did. Cassandra kept us informed with photos and comments the whole weekend. I highly recommend her and will use 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.”
“Alexandra was amazing with our little boy! She was so patient and took such good care of him while we were away. They went on lots of trips to the park and we got lots of updates. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!”
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
“Becky was awesome! I reached out last minute and was thrilled she was available and even able to accommodate our change in pick- up time. She sent pictures of our dog, which is always appreciated to see how he is doing! Definitely recommend her and will reach out to Becky next time we are in need ?!”
“Xiomy took amazing care of my dog. She kept me updated every day with the sweetest photos, and I always felt at ease knowing my pup was happy and loved. Her dog Elma is incredibly gentle and became the perfect playmate — they bonded right away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I truly recommend her!”
“Roman and Justine provided exceptional care for our dog Bauer over the weekend, treating him like family and keeping us updated with photos throughout his stay. They clearly understood his needs and personality, and Bauer came home happy and tired from all the attention and activities. We felt completely at ease the entire time and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
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.
“Annette is a natural dog person! She understands them well. Living walkably close to a dog park, she spoiled my dog with 2 trips to the park per day...now he's bored at home with me after staying with her! Having a fenced-in back yard is a huge plus, too. I'll have my dog stay with her every time I go out of town, going forward! Thanks, Annette!”

“Tyler did a wonderful job caring for our kitties. I had set up an automatic feeder to give the cats dry food (Tyler was giving them wet food at his visits) and the cats toppled it and knocked it over. The next day, they clawed into the sealed bag of food I’d left out. Both times, Tyler graciously cleaned it up and helped me devise a way to keep the cats from doing it again. He checked in daily and sent occasional photos and videos, which my kids loved. I will definitely use him again!”

About: I fostered a cat in college. After he went to his forever home, there was a Smudge-sized hole in my heart (Smudge was my foster cat). So what did I do? I went out and got two kittens! Ivy and Poppy are my prides and joy.
“Jesse did a great job first time with Tag, who is an anxious dog. Jesse is professional and friendly. He is very reassuring and took good care of Tag. we will definitely have Jesse take care of Tag again!”
About: I had pets as a child. As an adult we became a dog family 10 years ago. He’s stubborn and way smarter than I am. I’ve learned so much loving on our Smitty. I’m patient and love to see their personalities shine. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to discuss your personal needs and work that into my day. I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.
“I haven't been able to go on a long trip in awhile, but felt completely at ease knowing we have Stephanie now! She took care of my fur babies (& my house) for 9 days! When we got back, everything was setup and trash taken out we didn't have to worry in our jet lagged state. She sent us pictures everyday and little updates, and the cats were not phased one bit by our abscence. Thanks for all you do!”
“This was the first time ever using a pet sitting service of any kind and I am so glad we found Savanna. Since we were so new to this, I was incredibly nervous. All of those worries were eased upon our meet and greet with Savanna. She was very responsive in the time leading up to the sitting job and very communicative during the week we were gone. We got regular updates along with pictures of our kitties that reassured us our boys were always in good hands. Her responsible, consistent, and warm demeanor is very appreciated and we will certainly use Savanna’s services in the future.”
“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!”
“Kristi was great! She communicated with me, sent pictures and seem to positively relate to our babies. We have old cats and one requires medication twice a day. Some sitters we have had were not always able to give her the medication. Betsy let her do it without too much trouble.”
“Amelia did a wonderful job of checking in on our cats, keeping them fed, entertained, and loved on as well as managing three littterboxes. She stayed in touch each day and sent pictures, and was overall kind and easy to trust in our home. We'll definitely call her again next time we need someone to keep an eye on them!”
About: Cats have always been my favorite animal. I have to kitty’s of my own. I know everything that cats can have and can’t have. I’ve worked in a nursing home and it made me realize cats are a lot like older people, delicate and stubborn. I have years of experience with cats so I can provide just what they need. From playing, feeding, giving medications, cleaning, and maybe even going on walks.
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for animals, I provide reliable, loving care for pets of all kinds. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks, with a secure fenced yard and plenty of attention for every pet. As the owner of three large dogs and a cat, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My home is pet-friendly, family-oriented, and focused on making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Regular updates, photos, and personalized care come standard with every visit and stay. 🐾
“This was my first time using this service and Beverly was amazing! Sent pictures and followed the instructions I gave, I had one less worry while I was out of town. She will definitely have a repeat client because I will definitely book her again!”

“Chayna was a lifesaver! I had my normal pet sitter cancel due to sickness (totally understandable) and Chayna was able to watch Argo with short notice - same day! He had a great time and received a lot attention and play time. I hope Argo can stay with her again sometime.”

About: Hi, I’m Cati! After taking some time off Rover to focus on my law studies, I’m pleased to return and offer my services to both new and returning clients. I bring extensive and diverse experience in animal care, including work in a busy grooming salon, raising show dogs, and providing pet sitting for families with pets of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. My background has given me strong skills in handling animals safely, patiently, and with genuine care. Clients can expect dependability, clear communication, and a high standard of care. Whether your pet requires regular walks, overnight sitting, or specialized attention, I strive to ensure every animal feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I look forward to providing trustworthy, convenient, and compassionate service for you and your pets. As a stay-at-home mom and student, I spend most of my time at home, which means I can offer flexible, consistent, and loving care for your pets whenever you need it. My primary goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and caring environment that meets each client’s needs and ensures the very best care for their pets.
About: I have years of hands-on pet care experience, and I’ve had dogs in my home for most of my life. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable approach and genuine love for caring for pets of all ages. I’m comfortable with puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I understand how to meet each stage’s needs—from basic training and routine structure to gentle care and patience with older pets. I’m committed to keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy, and I treat every animal like my own. Clear communication, dependability, and attention to detail are always my priorities. Pet care is a regular part of my life and something I prioritize every day. I schedule my time around feeding, play, and attention for pets, making sure they get consistent care and companionship. On a weekly basis, I maintain clean living spaces, rotate toys, and spend quality time with each pet to keep them happy and engaged. Caring for animals is not just a task—it’s a routine I enjoy and take seriously, ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for at all times. I provide a safe, clean, and loving home environment for pets, with regular feeding, playtime, social interaction, and cozy spaces for rest and ultimate comfort.
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.
“Communication was excellent. This was my first time using Rover for doggie daycare. There were multiple people on site who were helping care for the dogs during the day. My dog was able to play with other medium-sized dogs. She definitely got enough exercise, and she is a higher energy dog breed (Husky). They also sent me a picture of her playing with some other dogs. And, they have air conditioned space available indoors for hotter days. We had a good experience and I would recommend them!”
“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: 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: I have 10 years of pet care experience including dog training, walking, dog sitting, grooming and more. I specialize in high energy, high drive, difficult to handle dogs, but I’m more than happy to work with the chill pups too! I currently own 3 Belgian Malinois and compete in a variety of dog sports. I’d love to care for your dogs and will treat them like they’re my own. Caring for your pets is my full time job, so I am able to dedicate all of my attention towards your pets. I spend most of my free time training my dogs as well as working with client dogs. I have several safety protocols in place such as using high quality leashes while on walks, and not allowing interaction between my pets and yours. I love sending updates to owners frequently! My experience in dog training and behavior can help notice subtle changes in mood or health for the special needs pups.
“Thank you Cat, You saved our little girl from being stuck in a kennel while we attended a wedding. So nice you offered this service for visitors like us. We appreciated the photos you sent too. We'd hire you again any time! Best to you, Chris and Sue and Penny”

“Our dog Leo loved his short stay with Madison on Thanksgiving Day. Communication was great and she was wonderful with Leo. He had a great time and would definitely recommend Madison.”
“Absolutely amazing! My dog is so clingy with me, but she was so excited to see Angela on the second day ?. My giant mastiff can be a handful, but Angela is a confident and knowledgeable 'dog person' so Penny's exuberance didn't phase her. I loved that Angela took Penny to a dog park each day too. I also REALLY appreciated the clear and consistent communication; Angela was quick to respond to any texts I sent and gave me updates (with the most adorable pics!) throughout the day. My dog was healthy, happy, and tired each time I picked her up from Angela-- who could ask for more?”

About: As a lifelong dog lover and current online college student, I offer a highly flexible, work-from-home schedule that ensures your pet will have constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, and company throughout the day. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt to your pet's specific stage of life; I am fully equipped to handle the high-energy demands, potty training, and crate routines of young puppies, but I'm equally patient and observant when it comes to the quiet environments and precise medication schedules required by senior dogs. Ultimately, I focus on routine consistency, molding my daily schedule entirely around your dog’s normal habits to keep their anxiety low and make them feel right at home. I work from home and stay around town, so caring for your fur-babies is no trouble at all! If they do well with car rides, I am more than happy to bring them along to run any errands or to the ball fields! I have a large yard, plenty of room inside, two sweet and playful dogs to keep them company, and a 6 year old boy who loves puppy cuddles and all the play time he can get!
About: My home is a dog-friendly, warm and inviting place where your special family member will be loved and cared for. I was a dog owner (lab rescues) for the last 12 years, but sadly my last guy recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a lot of love just waiting to be shared! I work from home so our time and availability is flexible! I love to take frequent walk and play breaks. And I am always up for some cuddle time! My yard is shady for dogs of all sizes. The neighborhood is pet friendly with lots of walking. I previously managed a pet sitting business within our Virginia neighborhood and can provide references.

About: For as long as I remember, animals have been the only constant defining piece of the puzzle that is my life. I have personally raised dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, birds, hamsters, goats and a lamb! Training, raising and saving animals gives me hope and a purpose. My experience goes all the way back to my first dog at the age of 9, who passed at the old age of 16.5years old in 2025. I have ridden and worked with horses for many years, as well as started my dog training journey in my later teens, turning it into my profession ever since. My goal is to provide top quality care to pet owners, as I understand the trust it takes to leave your pets behind and do not take that responsibility lightly. I know how I want my animals treated should I ever have to leave them, so I strive to give that same (picky) care to other owners. I have boarded & trained dogs for over 4 years and plan to open a boarding facility for both canines & equines in the future. I am a stay at home mom so I will usually be home more than 90% of the time to spend with your pet. With two dogs of my own and one cat. Both dogs are crate trained, house trained, and one of them has his Canine Good Citizen Cert. the other is a young female working on her mannerisms but very friendly. We have four beautiful acres for lots of play and exercise. Most of the acreage is fenced, and our house is gated off. I am able to crate dogs if necessary, but am home most of the time so crating usually only at night time if applicable. They will be able to take as many potty breaks needed, get lots of play time, of course attention, and have access to water all day long (unless otherwise specified). Note* If they are not good with cats, that is not a problem as mine stays separated from any dogs beside my own.
About: We don't have children of our own so our dogs are our family and we'll treat your dogs like family. My husband and I have taken care of dogs since we were little. We love going for walks and just spending time with them. Your dogs will receive lots of love and attention while your gone. I'm currently working from home full-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups. When my husband gets home from working the day shift, we're always in the back yard doing activities with the dogs. We have a huge fenced in back yard and three wonderful fur babies to keep your dog company. We don't let the dogs outside in the yard unsupervised. We can also crate your dog if it's needed.

There are always a variety of breeds and I have learned how to work with them all. I don't mind staying overnight. My fur babies will not be left alone as my husband will be home with them. I have purchased my own Pet Insurance which goes above for coverage than Rover. I have a very flexible schedule to be able to provide excellent service and attention to your fur babies.

“Amazing! That's one word to sum up Kristi's visits with my sweet beagle/ lab mix. She was on time, followed through with my instructions, and very attentive to my fur baby. He liked her immediately upon arrival and trusted her. Kristi is very good at what she does and I'm definitely using her again and again! ❤️ 🐕 🦴”
About: I’ve grown up with animals! I’ve always had a cat to take care of! I got my first kitten when I was around 5 years old! ever since I’ve had an amazing connection with all animals but especially cats more than anything. I have watched over dogs many of times. I can handle a big dog but I am mainly used to small/medium dogs ahah:) I’ve currently have dealt with puppies and them being sick! I have learned many new things along the way! I am so excited to learn more things about animals as I watch over them. I have only ever pet sit once through rover, but I can assure you I have plenty of experience and knowledge when it comes to animals! Your dog/cat would be so lucky to have me watch over them:) I currently work a full time job, I usually work 10-4 Tuesday-Saturday I am currently in school working on getting closer to being a veterinarian assistant:)) my schooling is completely online though so I can bring it wherever I go. I am majoring in Animal Science! At my house I have a big back yard so the dogs go out can can play with lots of land and room to run and use the restroom! we no longer cage our 2 dogs, we also have gotten chickens and ducks:)) so please beware if you send your dog to my house to let me know before hand how your dog is with other animals and around farm animals! your dog could sleep inside with the other doggies or inside the sunroom! when I am gone! I tend to walk my dogs daily! I also have 2 kittens I am leash training so if your cat likes to go on walks I can work with that too!
About: I am a pet lover at heart! I have owned/fostered 13 dogs and 4 cats in my lifetime so far. I currently own 1 dog named Diesel who regularly attends doggy daycare in Athens. I work hands on with dogs and cats every day and have 3 years of experience in feeding, medicating, and hands on dog-to-dog socializing. I have a huge heart to foster pets and have done so with ages from Puppies to 10 years of age. I have fostered non-hearing and non-seeing pets as well as plenty of experience administering medication to dogs who are diabetic and require insulin. I work a full time job, but when planned in advance I can request off or specific hours if needed. Would need a notice of 2 weeks or more. I am more than happy to host in your home and can either bring Diesel my 70lb dog, or can arrange him to be at my home with my boyfriend as well. Either is completely fine for me! If you are seeking for me to host in my home: I reside in a 24 foot camper as my current tiny home, so most cases I cannot hold other pets with me unless special cases occur where size, needs, temperament, and such are approved to successfully accommodate them. I would prefer to meet them prior and have a relationship with your pups to be sure it would be a good fit for both parties.

About: I have raised several puppies successfully and have helped a family member with caring for large litters of Great Danes. We have had senior dogs that have required medication administration, including insulin. I also volunteer at the heart Humane Society in Georgia taken care of the cats and the dogs that are waiting to be placed into a forever home. I currently work par-time so I have plenty of time for pet care. I do have other family in my home that can care for my pets if I am needed for over nights. I love caring for pets it makes me feel rewarded when pets respond positively with me. I have 2 dogs in my home both weigh approx. 50 pounds. Our yard is fenced in so they go in and out.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for about 5 years now, from dogs to frogs! Some of my own and some from others I give each animal the love and care that they deserve. I love being outdoors in any climate whether that be hiking, jogging, or simply sitting in a field. I’d be more than happy to burn some energy with your fur baby! I work part time during the night which leaves lots of free time during the mornings to walk, feed, and check in on your pets. I occasionally have classes during the week, so I’ll already be up bright and early! I will provide your pets with loving attention, frequent walks and bathroom breaks, even playtime. I am sure to create a safe environment for your fur babies, if that means a mini play date or introduction session before sitting I am down for it all. I will stay loyal to the given instructions with proper feeding times and administer medication if/when needed.
About: I’ve been caring for pets and pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was young. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love spending time with them.

I’m comfortable handling strong, high-energy dogs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and safety.

I am currently a college student home for the summer and do not have another job, which allows me to offer a very flexible schedule. I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding. If your pet is staying with me, I will be home for most of the day aside from occasional errands or appointments. This allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and companionship to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I live in a house with a yard and access to a dog park within my neighborhood, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise, play, and enrichment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions provided by owners and will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet’s stay. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I will provide attentive care tailored to their individual needs.

“Chayna was wonderful! Very kind and professional, and she also has a great space that my dog could have fun and be comfortable in. She also sent lots of photos and videos of my sweet pup which was great to receive while out of town! Will definitely be a repeat customer :)”
“When I say that Caylei is amazing, I really mean that. My cat, Tim, has special needs and can be temperamental/ really grumpy, at times. He has been fired from several boarding facilities for his bad attitude. Well, Caylei was willing to take him on and not only that, her care and patience was rewarded with a super happy cat all week! I am truly so thankful to have found her. She sent me updates, photos, and videos while I was gone, which really helped ease my mind. We have a few other trips planned that I wasn't sure we would be able to take if Tim misbehaved for her, too, but everything went significantly better than I ever hoped. Caylei is smart, caring, knowledgeable, and very competent in pet care, even in special circumstances. I can't recommend her enough.”
“Nicole was fantastic! Amelia loved her stay with you! Thank you for taking good care of my fur baby!! Nicole was very communicative, sent lots of good cute pictures! Thank you, I appreciate you!”
“Diana did such a wonderful job with our pup. I swear he’s learned some new things. He doesn’t nip as much. He’s waiting before eating. Trainer and sitter in one. Thanks for taking us last minute. Really appreciate you and your family for caring for our baby.”
“Cassandra and her family were great. This was our first time leaving out Boris in 4.5 years and I think we experienced more separation anxiety than he did. Cassandra kept us informed with photos and comments the whole weekend. I highly recommend her and will use 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.”
“Alexandra was amazing with our little boy! She was so patient and took such good care of him while we were away. They went on lots of trips to the park and we got lots of updates. We will definitely be back and highly recommend!”
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
“Becky was awesome! I reached out last minute and was thrilled she was available and even able to accommodate our change in pick- up time. She sent pictures of our dog, which is always appreciated to see how he is doing! Definitely recommend her and will reach out to Becky next time we are in need ?!”
“Xiomy took amazing care of my dog. She kept me updated every day with the sweetest photos, and I always felt at ease knowing my pup was happy and loved. Her dog Elma is incredibly gentle and became the perfect playmate — they bonded right away. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I truly recommend her!”
“Roman and Justine provided exceptional care for our dog Bauer over the weekend, treating him like family and keeping us updated with photos throughout his stay. They clearly understood his needs and personality, and Bauer came home happy and tired from all the attention and activities. We felt completely at ease the entire time and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again.”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all types of animals. I’ve always had to make sure all of them were feed and water. I’ve dog sit for family friends before while they went out of town and i had to go to their house and feed, water them, take them out to play and use the bathroom, gave them baths if they need them. I took care and dog sit all kinds of animals and sizes, from puppies to older dogs, and even cats too, all up to farm animals. I’m a stay at home mom to a 2 year old. I have a 3 year old male dog that’s unaltered. I’m available anytime to dog sit or board. I have a house with a nice little yard for your fur babies to run and play! I’m always going outside every 2-3 hours almost to walk my dog. Of course I will walk your dog first because I know my dog can hold it until afterwards
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.
“Annette is a natural dog person! She understands them well. Living walkably close to a dog park, she spoiled my dog with 2 trips to the park per day...now he's bored at home with me after staying with her! Having a fenced-in back yard is a huge plus, too. I'll have my dog stay with her every time I go out of town, going forward! Thanks, Annette!”
“Kristi was so fantastic and a true lifesaver when we needed someone to watch our pup last minute. She provided us with photo/video updates every day and made sure our boy had the best time. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone.”
“My two dogs loved it, they had plenty of space to roam & play fetch. They were so excited to see us, as if to say “we had a great time”. Such a great location, 2 fenced acres to run & play! Pepper sent pictures & video, great comfort. We were traveling to Greenville for a conference & had no idea what to expect. Very happy.”
About: I have always had dogs and can't imagine my life without them. I have a special love for large dogs and currently have a 6 month old Great Dane. I have raised and loved several other dogs throughout my life including Great Danes, German Shepherds, and a Rottweiler. I would be grateful for the opportunity to share my love with your fur baby, large or small. I currently work from home and I am available Monday through Saturday from 7:00am to 7:00pm. I have a Great Dane puppy so pet care in my home is around the clock. I have a large fenced backyard and climate controlled basement along with an active Great Dane puppy to keep your fur baby company. Every day will include outdoor play, weather permitting, and indoor activities catered to your pet.
About: My husband and I have owned our dogs since 2018, adopting a third in 2024. We've been fostering for a rescue for nearly 3 years- we've fostered/rehabilitated 16 dogs through adoption so far! We call them our "foster alumni" and often see them back for a weekend of pet sitting. I work a standard 9-5:30, so my availability is limited to nights and weekends. If you're nearby with a morning need, let me know and maybe we can work it out. Our pets are welcome in all parts of our home, as well as any guest dogs. We always kennel "guest" dogs when we're away. Our younger dog is still kenneled when we're gone, the older ones stay in the office. When we're here, our dogs and guest dogs have a fenced in front and back yard to play in, an easy neighborhood to walk in, and can take their pick from the toy bin in the living room.
