“This was our first time using Amber and we were very pleased. Both of our babies seemed happy and tired, lol, after the fun they had staying with Amber. She sent pictures and took very good care of both of them. Her house was very clean also, which I appreciated because we have been to some for meet and greets that I just couldn't leave our babies in. We will definitely use her again if she will have them. 😁..We also know Chewy can be a handful.”

“Catecha is a Godsend! She took amazing care of my baby and sent pics and maintained great communication. She was also very accommodating with the weather and changes that needed to be made. I fully trust my baby with her and that is not common for me.”

“James and his wife De were wonderful. They took such great care of Bentley. Loved all the pictures and they kept me up to date as to how Bentley was doing. Hopefully we can do it again soon. Susan and Bentley ☺️”

About: I’m a retired wildlife biologist with lots of time and interest in taking care of animals. I’ve had dogs and indoor (mostly) cats most of my life and thus I’m fully used to scooping poo, sweeping up kitty litter, etc. You will not return to a minefield in the yard or a messy litter box I’m retired and thus available often. You can count on me to spend quality time with your pets, not just feed and go. I look forward to meeting them I like animals more than most people, haha, and will care for them with great focus. Your pets will be my buddies and we’ll have a safe and fun time together. I do not have a fence but my house is in the middle of a 113 acre mostly wooded property I own.
“Rebekah was awesome keeping my 1 year one puppy for a week. I got so many pictures and videos and my doggie received so much love. She came home missing everyone. Definitely will recommend to others. Thank you so much for caring for my girlie 💗”

“Michelle was great! We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her and her family. Her dogs are well behaved and put off a good calm energy that mine picked up on immediately. We received daily updates with pics/videos which was a very nice touch and set our minds at ease. We will definitely be using her again and super excited to find someone on Rover that was so close to our house.”

“Debra is fantastic with our baby! He loves staying with her, and we never have to worry when he’s in her care. She treats him like family, and we feel so comfortable knowing he’s with Auntie Debrah. Highly recommend her!”

“Mika is the best! She was so attentive and communicative throughout the entire process. Her knowledge and expertise really stood out, she offered helpful tips and guidance that made a huge difference. As a first-time dog mom, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, but Mika’s support gave me so much relief and confidence. I truly appreciated her patience and the care she showed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“Our 2 goofy, big golden doodles always enjoy their time with Josh & Kerith. Getting photos of them playing is a nice little bonus, too! I know they are so excited to go there, but I’m happy when we pick them up - mainly because I always miss them. But, I never worry about them when they are with Josh & Kerith, because I know they are very well cared for!”

“Oliver had a wonderful time with Sydney and her family! We were able to meet them and their pup, chowder before our trip and it really put my mind at ease leaving him somewhere new.”

“Oh my goodness! Where do I start? Madison is such a Godsend. She sent me tons of pictures and kept me in the loop of how my baby was doing. She made her so comfortable to where she felt right at home. My dog warmed up to her pretty quickly. I had some issues with my pick up date and she was very accommodating! Her home is very welcoming and her backyard space is perfect for large dogs, I couldn’t be more grateful for her, I’m DEFINITELY going to book with her again and everyone else should as well.”

“10/10 she has had my baby Mareglia for a couple days and made sure to love her just like I do making my anxiety calm with me having to work & new years coming up just wanted somebody to love her like I do while being comfortable and she does just that 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾”

“Joshua did great looking after my cat Oreo. Picture updates and messages on how she was doing. Would definitely recommend him for boarding and care of your fur family 👍”

“Andrea was AWESOME!!!!! I 100% recommend her for your fur babies. We got daily photos from her and if she's available in the future, we will use her again. I also want to say that we didn't worry at all because we felt that he was in great hands.”

“Tanya is awesome she is patient living and caring for Sayon she took good care of him she is lije family I felt confident that Sayon was in good care. I have found a second home for my baby when I travel out of town Tanya kept me posted everyday sending pictures letting me know he was okay”


“We recently had the privilege of selecting Deborah as our sitter for Scarlett, our 6 months old German Shepherd. Scarlett was there for a 6-day visit while we vacationed. Scarlett adjusted immediately to Deborah's handling of her, the change in environment, and the other dogs. She really took a liking to Deborah's dog Sugar. Also, Scarlett is a large puppy and I have a little trouble with her on the leash. Deborah showed me a better way to manage her when I walk her! We would definitely use Deborah's services again and I definitely recommend her.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Briana was fantastic! Briana did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Khufu. She was attentive and caring, and she sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout to keep me updated — it was so reassuring while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Naomi took great care of my two babies (cats) while I was out of town and went above and beyond to bring in my mail and packages. She updated me daily with pics of them and stayed with them while they ate. Definitely recommend!”

“Alexis was very prompt for every service. She exceeded our expectation when it came to keeping the puppies pen clean and feeding them. Alexis kept us up to date with her service and the condition of each puppy. The pictures were valuable to our comfort level while away from the home. Would definitely hire Alexis again.”


“Christi did a very good job. I also like the fact that she lives in the area. Niko seemed to really like her and my home was immaculate when I came back Niko was very happy to see me, but it was good to know someone was taking good care of him. I will use Christi again.”


“Great sitter who does a great job with animals big and small. John has watched our dogs, cats, bird, chickens, and box turtle. He’s even taken care of our flowers & plants. Highly recommend! Our pets love him. :)”

“Amanda took the time to get to know our senior cat and make her as comfortable as possible when administering her meds. We appreciate Amanda's respect for our special girl and all the patience and care she provided! She was also flexible with some last minute travel plan changes due to the weather.”

About: I've taken care of and owned both cats and dogs for the last 5 years. I am also a new owner of a bearded dragon and take care of my mom’s horses from time to time. I'm a USC graduate and a rising second year vet student at UGA. I'm passionate about animal care and providing peace of mind to pet parents. I’m comfortable medicating and handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. I work part time as a veterinary technician during the summer. I'm available to pet sit any time that I’m not scheduled and most weekends. While I can't offer to keep other pets in my apartment, I am eager to keep pets comfortable in their own home while their parents are away. I will treat your pets as if they were my own and offer multiple updates while you're away.
“OMG!! Mari B. is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! If you need a pet sitter SHE IS THE ONE!! You will not be disappointed! We are moving out of the area and really wish we could take her with us! If you need a pet sitter and you live in the area she covers take full advantage of the opportunity. She truly is phenomenal! Thank you again and again Mari!!”
About: I have cared for dogs, cats, farm, and exotic animals my whole life. Whether they are senior, young, large, or small, they will be taken care of. I’m a part time educator looking to fill my extra hours taking care of your fur babies. Animals and kids have always been my passion so why not do both. I have lots of energy and patience to keep up with your animals care requirement's. Even on my days as an educator, I take long breaks to ensure my animals have enough one on one time.

About: Hi my name is Rachel and I have been an animal lover all my life. I currently have 4 dogs ( 2 Huskies and 2 Chihuahua/Dachshund mix) and 2 cats. I am available to walk, pet sit, play with, and love on your furbabies while you’re away on vacation, away for the weekend, or to check in on them while you’re at work. I would also consider boarding in my home if your fur baby gets along with other dogs, cats, and children. My children are animal lovers also and wouldn’t mind at all giving your baby lots of attention. If you have any questions please feel free to message me with any concerns you may have. I look forward to meeting your fur baby!
About: I have experience working with large breed, small breed, cats, reptiles and farm animals. I have volunteered in shelters and on farms. I enjoy investing my time in animals and would love the chance to treat your pet like a part of the family. I work from home so your pet will never be alone for much longer than a trip to the store. I enjoy the company to be honest. I have no pets in my home. A large front and back yard. I have plenty of safe space for your fur baby to play in or outside with a clean & loving environment. I am happy to follow and special care instructions your pet might need.
About: I have always been absolutely in love with animals, and I treat mine just like they are my own children. I am super great with animals.

About: I have been sitting dogs off and on for the last 5-6 years. I have an Aussie that loves playing with other dogs and is the sweetest. I currently work full time from home and can play throughout the day. I am able to let my fur baby out multiple times a day whenever he needs. I have a big backyard without a fence. There’s plenty of room to run with my dog each day and to keep your fur baby company the whole day.
“Michelle and her husband greeted and welcomed Moses to their home so sweetly! This was the first time I had ever left Moses with someone he did not know and they made it easy!! Michelle’s husband even picked Moses up and cradled him as I left. She has been great with Moses and his adjustment to her home and care and has also been very kind to me with updates and pics!! We will return as long as she will let us!!”

About: As far back as I can remember I’ve owned or cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, hamsters you name it and I’ve probably cared for it. I love dogs the most and currently own three. Training them, caring for them, playing with them are my passions. I can bathe, trim nails, give medications, train them, walk them properly, and integrate them into packs when requested. I work from home M-F and have flexibility with my hours. I like to travel and I know the cost of putting my dogs up in boarding or day care facilities. We've decided to reduce our travel for now to save up money. I am happy to help out where needed. Please don't hesitate to ask questions. We have a fenced in yard the dogs can run and play in. We also have 2 large dog crates and one small dog crate we keep in case the dogs want/need to be isolated. When we are home our dogs are able to play inside and outside. We have parks close by and take our dogs on walks 2-3 times a day. Your pet would either walk with them or separately depending on his/her ability. We play fetch, we do commands, we can run them or play in water if it’s hot. We love dog parks and shaded walking trails as well. Dogs have the ability to stay inside or outside at our home.. I work from home and can watch them inside while I work. I let them play outside several times a day as wells. Dogs have the ability to stay inside or outside at our home. We have dog beds for them to lie on. We have a big yard and a pool.
About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give to every dog. I understand that each pup has unique needs, whether it’s the playful energy of a puppy learning new routines, or the gentle patience required for senior dogs who may need extra support. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m used to providing care, structure, and attention as part of my daily life. As a new graduate LPN, I’ve built strong skills in time management, responsibility, and caregiving, all of which carry over to caring for pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications, so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space.

About: I’m an animal lover, have always been & will always be. Since I was a small girl 😊 I’ve had the great pleasure & blessing of owning 6 cats and 9 dogs in my lifetime. My animals are my babies, furry babies are the best! I’m also trained in the Volhard motivational method of dog training, studied holistic animal care, as well as I’ve done therapy dog work (was certified trainer). I currently work part time and have a flexible schedule so I could spend the time needed giving your babies the care they deserve. I spend my mornings normally in the yard, tending the garden, plants and chickens as needed and getting exercise. I have a lot of land for exercising and spending fun time with your baby. My 2 pups are boundary trained and very well mannered. They are also crate trained, so I can offer your pups whatever they need:

About: I have had all kinds of dogs (even pits) and cats growing up. I have delt with many puppies and senior dogs;) I have also bottle fed dogs and cats. I have goats and chickens I don’t work I’m a stay at home mom with nothing to do. So I’m looking for things to do and I love animals so it’s a perfect match;) I have 5 acres to run and play on but I also have a fenced in area. I have tons of space for them to be happy. I have tons of space to run and play inside.
About: Neighbors, friends and family continue to entrust me with their pets of all ages! My pup has hiked to high heights with me, but I’ve also loved many in their final, precious days. Wherever your loved one is, I’ll be sure to care for your fur babe like you would! I am a mom of one that works full time for a University from home. Monday through Friday I work from 8-5 with two 15 minute breaks and a lunch break of at least one hour. I am a triathlete that is often up at 5 AM training. Then, I go on a walk every day on my lunch and often again when I log off for the day. I’d love for your fur babe to tag along! I have two fenced in yards full of sun and plenty of shade. I have a 40 pound doodle that can keep them company and give them plenty of exercise if needed, but I can also keep them separated if that is preferred. I have fresh well water and a walking trail around our property. I can also crate your dog or offer them a bed if they need. Otherwise, your loved one will roam free with lots of play time and cuddles. Whatever your fur babe needs, I’m here to serve you!

“Best EVER! Nikki sends such fun pictures and videos, and is so understanding when our schedule is weird (or last-minute!) We can't even say the names "Tom and Nikki" at home, because our pup will run and wait in the car!”

About: Looking for a loving, attentive, caregiver to go above and beyond caring for your furry best friend while you are away? I’m retired with a lifetime of love and experience with dogs in show rings, obedience trials, agility and therapy work. I especially enjoy senior pups, shy pups, spoiled Divas, and overly sensitive or anxious fur babies under 20 lbs. My home is completely set up for your dog’s comfort and safety with 24/7 attention, peaceful stress-free environment, and activities specialized to their preferences. The number of pups is limited and I only take pups under 20 lbs over 1 year old for their safety and enjoyment. Your pup’s routines and schedules are maintained as you would care for them at home so they enjoy being here, eating and sleeping well. My “assistant” resident older dogs, Dunkin and Delilah, love sharing their pup-centered home, toys, treats and large, secure, fenced yard. Our home is near Ola (Keys Ferry Rd area) between McDonough and Jackson, and your pup will verify the attention and love is worth a few more minutes drive if you’re farther away. Your precious babies will enjoy the same daily care, routines and activities at my loving home they have in yours including mealtimes, pampering, daily brushing and teeth care. They can run and play in the large securely fenced yard, chill with me on the covered deck, snuggle on the couch, play in the ball pit, search the snuffle mat and even sleep in the bed. Best of all there are no concrete cages, kennel stress, lonely nights, chaos or contagions. Let’s schedule a free meet n greet in advance so you’ll have peace of mind booking your pup’s best home away from home. I’m a stay at home retiree so all my attention will be focused on your precious pup. I only care for small dogs under 20 lbs for their enjoyment and safety as well as your peace of mind. You will receive daily photos/videos and are welcome to call any time. Drop off/pick up times are flexible with no extra charges between 7 am to 8 pm. I will keep your potty training schedules (pads or outside) and can refresh some basics and socialization if needed. I do not offer professional grooming, but can do nails and bathe for an additional charge. My home is super pet friendly, safe and comfortable and pets are with me 24/7 (not in kennels, closed rooms, and never never left in the yard alone). I will pen or crate in full view only if needed due to persistent destructive chewing, aggression, sleeping or potty training issues, but prefer your dog be as free as if they were home with you and I will let you know if this is necessary. All dogs must be over 1 year old and under 20 lbs. Male dogs must be neutered. I can sometimes accommodate unspayed females and, with special circumstances and agreements, females in heat. Be sure to honestly evaluate your pup and let me know if issues such as toy aggression, housebreaking, digestion upsets, allergies, separation anxiety, etc. so I know how to best care for your pup and keep everyone safe and happy.
About: Hello! I’m Brianna, a dedicated pet sitter with a genuine love for animals and a focus on providing top-notch care. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and I understand the importance of keeping your pets comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s daily feeding, playtime, walks, or just some extra TLC, I approach each pet with the patience and care they deserve. I am also well-organized, reliable, and able to handle any special instructions you may have, ensuring peace of mind for you and your pets.

My goal is to make them feel as relaxed and happy as possible, just like they would with their family.
About: Greetings, I am Obadina and I am a graduate of AK9i as a patrol Detection K9 handler and trainer. I went to Tennessee State for Animal Science Pre Veterinary Medicine where I learned animal husbandry. I used that experience to go on to be a vet tech as well as a pet bather and trainer. I am current K9 detection dog handler and trainer. I have experience with high drive dogs as well as nervous dogs and puppies. I can work with any and every dog, from fearful to aggressive. I also offer DeShed nail care and bathing services. DeShed services is when I remove the shedding undercoat that comes out usually during the change of seasons. It prevents mats and painful tangles which not only can relive pain and odor, but also keeps them cool during the warm summer months. It’s a very good alternative to shaving, which actually makes them hotter because their fur keeps the sun off of them . Animal Husbandry is my profession as a K9 handler. Your dogs will be treated like assets they are. It’s an hourly routine as animals respond to predictability which lowers stress levels which leads to better boarding experiences. Your asset will be housed in a climate controlled dry lockable indoor kennel run facility with a fenced in secured play area that’s easy to clean and plenty of storage for your pets supplies.

“This was our first time using Amber and we were very pleased. Both of our babies seemed happy and tired, lol, after the fun they had staying with Amber. She sent pictures and took very good care of both of them. Her house was very clean also, which I appreciated because we have been to some for meet and greets that I just couldn't leave our babies in. We will definitely use her again if she will have them. 😁..We also know Chewy can be a handful.”

“Catecha is a Godsend! She took amazing care of my baby and sent pics and maintained great communication. She was also very accommodating with the weather and changes that needed to be made. I fully trust my baby with her and that is not common for me.”

About: I’m a retired wildlife biologist with lots of time and interest in taking care of animals. I’ve had dogs and indoor (mostly) cats most of my life and thus I’m fully used to scooping poo, sweeping up kitty litter, etc. You will not return to a minefield in the yard or a messy litter box I’m retired and thus available often. You can count on me to spend quality time with your pets, not just feed and go. I look forward to meeting them I like animals more than most people, haha, and will care for them with great focus. Your pets will be my buddies and we’ll have a safe and fun time together. I do not have a fence but my house is in the middle of a 113 acre mostly wooded property I own.
“Rebekah was awesome keeping my 1 year one puppy for a week. I got so many pictures and videos and my doggie received so much love. She came home missing everyone. Definitely will recommend to others. Thank you so much for caring for my girlie 💗”

“Michelle was great! We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with her and her family. Her dogs are well behaved and put off a good calm energy that mine picked up on immediately. We received daily updates with pics/videos which was a very nice touch and set our minds at ease. We will definitely be using her again and super excited to find someone on Rover that was so close to our house.”

“Our 2 goofy, big golden doodles always enjoy their time with Josh & Kerith. Getting photos of them playing is a nice little bonus, too! I know they are so excited to go there, but I’m happy when we pick them up - mainly because I always miss them. But, I never worry about them when they are with Josh & Kerith, because I know they are very well cared for!”

“Oliver had a wonderful time with Sydney and her family! We were able to meet them and their pup, chowder before our trip and it really put my mind at ease leaving him somewhere new.”

“Oh my goodness! Where do I start? Madison is such a Godsend. She sent me tons of pictures and kept me in the loop of how my baby was doing. She made her so comfortable to where she felt right at home. My dog warmed up to her pretty quickly. I had some issues with my pick up date and she was very accommodating! Her home is very welcoming and her backyard space is perfect for large dogs, I couldn’t be more grateful for her, I’m DEFINITELY going to book with her again and everyone else should as well.”

“10/10 she has had my baby Mareglia for a couple days and made sure to love her just like I do making my anxiety calm with me having to work & new years coming up just wanted somebody to love her like I do while being comfortable and she does just that 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾”

“Joshua did great looking after my cat Oreo. Picture updates and messages on how she was doing. Would definitely recommend him for boarding and care of your fur family 👍”

“Andrea was AWESOME!!!!! I 100% recommend her for your fur babies. We got daily photos from her and if she's available in the future, we will use her again. I also want to say that we didn't worry at all because we felt that he was in great hands.”


“We recently had the privilege of selecting Deborah as our sitter for Scarlett, our 6 months old German Shepherd. Scarlett was there for a 6-day visit while we vacationed. Scarlett adjusted immediately to Deborah's handling of her, the change in environment, and the other dogs. She really took a liking to Deborah's dog Sugar. Also, Scarlett is a large puppy and I have a little trouble with her on the leash. Deborah showed me a better way to manage her when I walk her! We would definitely use Deborah's services again and I definitely recommend her.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Briana was fantastic! Briana did a wonderful job taking care of my dog, Khufu. She was attentive and caring, and she sent plenty of pictures and videos throughout to keep me updated — it was so reassuring while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

“Joey and his wife are amazing. They take great care of our Bella. Would recommend to anyone that needs any type of boarding. I was hesitant when I first found out about Rover, but after meeting them and leaving our Bella with them the first time, we have loved them and the way they take care or her. They are our first contact when we go on a trip and need someone to take care of her. Thank you so much Joey!”

“Nikki and Tom are unbelievable! Within 10 mins of us leaving our 2 Jack Russell’s, they were sending me videos and pictures. Sophie and Taylor were wagging their tails faster than I’ve seen in a while. I was overjoyed that they were having so much fun and receiving so much love from Nikki and Tom. I wish there were enough positive, loving, descriptive adjectives for me to list, but that would take a few pages. I told them they were officially Sophie and Taylor’s fur godparent’s. Thank you guys so very much for having that much compassion and love for pets! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Thank you Shashi for taking superb care of our senior pup Sunny! He came home happy and healthy. Shashi shared daily pics of Sunny enjoying his "vacation" and communicated updates on a regular basis. I was able to focus on my work tasks knowing Sunny was being well treated. I highly recommend Shashi's services and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Shashi! 😁🐕”
