“Always an amazing experience. My two dogs were loved, pampered and had a great time. Thanks for all you did for Tod and Merle I especially appreciate your willingness to keep Merle at the last minute”
“Our 2 pups loved Lena and her beautiful home! They have secretly been barking to us that they want to go back and play some more with Lena and her cute little dogs. She is honest and caring and efficient! She will love your dogs the whole time you’re away and is terrific about sending daily photos! Highly recommend! A+++++ ??”
“Pat took great care of my Gracie. She sent regular photos & was patient with Gracie’s wild moods. She has a lovely home & a nice fenced backyard. Her dog was playful & a good companion for mine. Thank you Pat!”
“I couldn't have asked for a better experience as Jillian, and her family made my pups feel like part of the family right away. Thank you again for taking such great care of them, and allowing me to travel without worry!”
“This was a somewhat last-minute request, and I truly lucked out with Cynthia! She made Xavier feel welcome from the moment we walked through the door. She sent multiple updates each day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was obvious that Xavier had an absolute blast during his stay. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Cynthia to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“We were on vacation with our dogs and needed an overnight sitter. Erin was great. She made us feel like we were leaving them in a very safe place where they would get the attention that they needed and deserved. It was fun to get pictures from Erin to show that the girls were comfortable and safe.I would recommend Erin 1000%.”
“Lori took wonderful care of Foxy Lady, our 13 year old Corgi Terrier! Kept us up to date on how she was doing and even sent us pictures on most days! We will definitely be using Lori again. Foxy bonded with her young son. Appreciated that Lori took Foxy outside and took her on walks (which she loves!)”
“Very kind. Great commutator. I will definitely use her again. My dog really seemed to like her stay there. Love that this Rover individual takes my dog on walks and interacts with her!”
“Emmanuel was awesome, really good guy and you can tell immediately that he loves pups and your dog will be in good hands. Hikuri had a great time with him and his dogs and Emmanuel regularly sent pictures and videos of him comfortable and having fun. We will definitely use him again in the future.”
“Devin was an amazing dog sitter for my dog, Bandit! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure he felt comfortable and loved the entire time it gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would absolutely trust Devin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Ashley was amazing with my older boxer and was happy to baby sit her. She gave her love and medications, perfect for what my dog needs. Ashley was even quick to respond when I sprung a quick pick-up time. I appreciate her being flexible and positive when I gave her Veri little notice on pick up time. She was also very flexible on drop-off time as well. Life doesn't always go as planned and Ashley was very understanding and supportive.”
“Angie is the absolute best! I brought my two dogs for a meet and greet before their stay and she answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. She has a lovely home and yard and you can tell how much she cares about dogs. I was nervous as I've never boarded before. One of my dogs is very nervous in new situations. Angie sent daily updates and pics text ands assured me he was doing great. And he was! Both my babies were comfortable, loved, exercised, and treated as part of the family. Angie is professional, kind, accommodating, and gentle. When I picked them up they were happy and worn out! Lots of play! We drove almost an hour out of the way to leave them with her. We will do it again! Look no further! ”
“Shilpi was a fantastic sitter! My dog tends to have anxiety so we always worry about leaving him in a new place, but Shilpi treated Oliver like one of her own. She ensured that he was eating and sleeping properly, and overall exceeded all of his needs. Shilpi also kept us updated throughout the entire sitting, sending us so many cute pictures as well as updating us about his behavior. He came back home seeming very calm and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again, thank you for the exceptional service!”
“Lidiia was so amazing with my cat, she not only took great care of my cat but also sent me pictures and videos during the entire stay. I would no doubtedly recommend her for taking care of your pets.”
“Candie was quick to respond to a very last minute booking. She and her family were so kind and welcomed our dog to her family for a lengthy period of time. Jax had a blast playing and swimming. We received pictures and an update every evening. We will definitely book again!”
“I feel very blessed to find this family to watch my dog. Communication was always excellent. They sent pictures and messages while we were away. We returned a couple hours later than expected but they were very understanding. Our dog was happy to be back home with us and showed no signs of stress. I would happily use this family again.”

“She is absolutely amazing. She sent me pictures during the day, let me know how they were acclimating, and during pickup one of my 4 cats decided to run off. She went above and beyond to help us find her (including climbing down into a crazy thicket across the street!)”
“I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dogs! She was an angel. I have big dogs that tend to bark quite a lot and she immediately was able to calm them down and bond with them. Sent numerous photos throughout the entire time we were away and gave plenty of updates. I would not go to anybody else!!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. As the primary caregiver for my families pets, I’ve gained a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. I have 10+ years of hands‑on cat care experience, including raising abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from just days old, caring for elderly cats, and everything in between.
About: Hours for drop off and pick up 7 AM to 7 PM.I owned and operated a 250-kennel pet facility for dogs and cats for over 20 years. I am an American Kennel Club judge. I have trained and titled many dogs in Obedience, Rally, Herding, Canine Good Citizen, and Award of Excellence. I have had a long-standing career with large corporations; I am taking a break before I retire in a few years. I am dependable and accountable, and my SUV accommodates an extra large dog crate for transport in the event of an emergency. If care is at my home, I have a fully fenced yard and extra large dog run, my home is immaculate. Hours 7 AM to 7PM for drop off and pick up. I am taking a break from the corporate world and want to take care of animals for a few years before retirement. I am available full-time or part-time to care for your dogs. If you are seeking dependability and responsibility, you can count on me. I will adhere to the current way you care for your pets at home; understanding schedules and routine are essential. If care is at my house, I have a fully fenced yard, a large dog run, a large deluxe crate (s) indoors, and a spotless environment.
About: I got my dog when I was 13 (I’m now 22). I trained him by myself when he was a puppy, and everyone he meets says he’s very well behaved. I know how to spot signs of anxiety or distress in dogs and how to respond to that behavior. I’m patient and loving, but I can be stern when need be. I am a student in college, and I work part time at an assisted living facility. Other than the days I’m at work, I’m basically free! I’ll make sure to locate the resources needed to care for your dog (crate, locks, toys, food, leash, harness, etc) as soon as I get to your home. I’ll spend 100% of my time in the company of your dog- they wouldn’t leave my sight. I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines about what your dog should/should not do. I’ll do my best to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them and you!
About: I have had dogs since I was born. My dad is in the dog show business, so we have actively been raising and vetting dogs for as long as I can remember. I currently am a part time worker and student, but will have plenty of time to play with your pups over this school summer break. I will care for your pets based on how you care for your pets. I will make sure they are leashed unless you have a fenced yard.
About: I've personally owned cats since I was little, that being the first animal I took care of at 6years old with a hamster and parakeets and a ferret. Cat behavior differs from dogs and you must understand they are one of a kind to each cats behavior is never the same. Some need more attention than others and some want all the space they can get but enjoy their food. Countless kitten claw scratches approved. Keeping litter boxes clean is highly necessary as it is their bathroom and no one likes a stinky toilet. I currently own a Japanese tortoiseshell bobtail female cat who has already had a liter of kittens. I have raised and found homes for. I have experience in almost any house pet you can think of and then some.
About: I tailor my approach to each furbabys individual needs. I ensure they are both comfortable and happy while you are away to make both the parent and furbabys separation less stressful. I have cared for many breeds of different ages and currently have 3 of our own. I am experienced in giving oral medications, light grooming such as brushing/bathing and managing anxious pups. I currently work full-time Tuesday-Friday. I am available for overnight stays and drop-ins depending on day/time-just reach out for availability. Feel free to shoot me a message and inquire. I follow all pet parents rules, feeding times, bed times. I encourage you to provide full instructions in advance to review together in order to provide the best possible care.

About: I’ve always had pets growing up from cats, dogs to having a pet flying squirrel name Ricky Bobby. I have a genuine heart and a sweet soul and I love animals . My son is in school and I’m a stay at home mom. I have plenty of time on my hands now. I would enjoy having a side job to play with more animals in my life I have two acres of land and plenty of grass to roam around on. I have a fence with a closing gate and I can walk the dogs with as much time needed. They are in good hands !
“Reyna and her family let my high energy 2 year old golden come hang out with them flr Memorial Day weekend and they were fantastic! Benny came home completely exhausted and I knew he was in very good hands. They were thoughtful with how they introduced him to the other dogs and had a great property for him to run around and play on. Will definitely bring him back!”
“Superior experience! ..and communication. Plenty of area to explore and run, much better than a dog park, and typical kennel daycare/boarding. Rhett was pooped out! Highly recommended.”
“Max enjoyed his time with Lena. She was very attentive to him and provided him with great care during his visit. This was his first time away from his family, so her kindness was very important. Max made a new friend with Lena's Yorkie, Freddie. Lena sent us a very nice photo of the two new friends. We will definitely contact Lena for future visits to that area. Thank you very much, Lena!”
About: I have been obsessed with cats since I was 4 years old. I had 2 growing up (one was diabetic and 19 years old so I’m familiar with giving injections/ medicine). It brings me so much joy taking care of animals. Cats only enhance my life and I would love nothing more to share that love with your animal. I work 4 days a week, and am off 3 full days. My work days are fairly short, so your animal will be attended to extremely well. I currently have no animals in my home. Typically I fed my cats growing up 3 meals a day. I change their little box morning and night. I also make sure they have plenty of water and love.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.

About: Your dog will enjoy their very own private indoor kennel, complete with a cozy bed and a TV for entertainment! We even have a special door leading to their fenced-in outdoor area, so they can roam and play whenever they want. Plus, to keep you in the loop, we send updates throughout the day so you can relax, knowing your furry friend is having a great time! Your pet will have the freedom to come and go as they please through their own doggy door, which leads to a private front porch enclosed by a secure six-foot fence. This safe outdoor space allows your dog to explore and enjoy the fresh air while keeping them protected. The covered porch provides an ideal spot for your furry friend to relax and soak up the sun, making it a perfect retreat for cozy naps throughout the day. Your dog will love having their own special area to lounge and bask in the warmth! Pet owners are responsible for providing their pets with the appropriate food and any necessary medications to ensure their health and well-being. Our kennels prioritize safety above all else, which is why each dog is housed in a secure space surrounded by a privacy fence. This separation prevents any mingling between dogs, creating a calm environment that protects their individual comfort and safety, as well as the safety of our caring family. We take every precaution to create a secure and nurturing environment for all dogs in our care.

For visits in your home or for dog walking, your pets are my main priority. You can rest assured that I will care for your babies and your home as my own.

“Esmeralda offered the perfect day care experience for our little morkie, Molly. We were visiting in the Blue Ridge area and had activities planned for two days that would not allow us to bring our pet along. Esmeralda's home was a peaceful retreat in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood. Our little morkie gets overwhelmed and stressed at boarding facilities. But she was happy and playful when I picked her up each day. Esmeralda sent updates and photos both days and was genuinely happy to see Molly each morning. We will definitely use Esmeralda again when we travel to the Blue Ridge area. We highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with lots of pets, a golden retriever, labs, a vizsla, and siamese cats.

Stevie has been a pet-sitter since she was 12 years old.

About: Hi! I’m Wynema with Harvest & Haven Farm. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn’t just a job—it’s something I genuinely love. Our farm is home to chickens, ducks, goats, donkeys, dogs, and more, so your pet will be joining a family that’s used to providing lots of love, attention, and care. When your pet stays with us, they’ll have plenty of room to explore, play, and relax in a peaceful farm setting. I know every animal has a different personality, so I take the time to get to know each one and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to run, cuddle, play, or simply nap in the sunshine, my goal is for them to feel like they’re on their own little vacation. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll care for them the same way I care for my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member! 🐾🌿 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already live and work on our farm. Caring for animals isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s what I do every day. Since I’m on the property throughout the day, pets receive frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and lots of attention. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s extra cuddle time, medication, or a slower pace for senior pets. Because I spend so much of my day outdoors and around animals, your pet will be part of a calm, active environment where they’re treated like one of the family—not just another booking. 🐾🌿 Our entire property is fenced in. Your furrbaby will have 6 acres to explore and play. We also have a separate fenced paddock to separate animals, if need be.

About: ***NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR DROP INS or WALKS on WEEKDAYS *** I have been pet sitting for almost thirty years. I have many great references from repeat clients (Rover and non Rover). I have become buddies with dogs of all breeds and sizes - big or small, I love them all. I will come to your home so your dog is as comfortable as possible while you are away. I will visit your home as many times during the day as I am needed, and will stay the night with your pet if that is what you would prefer. I am not a stranger to odd feeding requests (you know if your pet has an odd feeding ritual) and I will also administer medication as required. Your precious pup will feel right at home with me as his or her sitter. I also sit for cats, rodents, and reptiles. **I apologize for any delays in response time. I do not have this app on my phone so I have to get incoming messages through email. Messages sent after 6:00pm may not be seen until the following day. Thank you for your patience.** I work from home on my own schedule most of the time so I am available most of the day for the duration of my stay. I do not care for other pets in my home but I do follow any safety instructions you have for me while I stay with your pet at your home. I prefer that there not be any visitors while you are away so I can ensure your pet's safety as well as my own.
About: I’ve had my own animals and taken care of neighbors pets for as long as I can remember. I have lots of experience with cats/kittens & dogs! I have two dogs of my own and a main coon cat. They are basically my children and I take pride in loving on them and treating them like royalty! I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule so I’m open to all sorts of pet care! I would love to drop by for a walk, or stay overnight for a weekend! I am lucky to have the freedom of a flexible schedule. I will come to you! As much as I would love to have an animal slumber party, I don’t think my cat would approve. I will take care of your babies as much as they are mine. Whether that’s playing with them, giving lots of scratches, or cuddling - they will be treated like my own.
About: I got my dog when I was 13 (I’m now 22). I trained him by myself when he was a puppy, and everyone he meets says he’s very well behaved. I know how to spot signs of anxiety or distress in dogs and how to respond to that behavior. I’m patient and loving, but I can be stern when need be. I am a student in college, and I work part time at an assisted living facility. Other than the days I’m at work, I’m basically free! I’ll make sure to locate the resources needed to care for your dog (crate, locks, toys, food, leash, harness, etc) as soon as I get to your home. I’ll spend 100% of my time in the company of your dog- they wouldn’t leave my sight. I’ll make sure to follow any guidelines about what your dog should/should not do. I’ll do my best to make the experience as comfortable as possible for them and you!
“Charis did a wonderful job with my scardy cat dog. She was willing to meet her early and let my dog get used to her before their first walk together. She’s been super quick to respond and very communicative! It’s made me worry a lot less about my pup through the day!”
About: I’ve taken care of and owned all kinds of dogs my entire life. I have experience with rescues, puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with short temperaments. I recently graduated from The University of Georgia this past May and am living with my parents in Ellijay this summer before starting grad school this Fall! I am able to visit your pup multiple times throughout the day or stay overnight if needed! I have a rescue pit bull/lab mix named Tux who my family and I adore. Unfortunately he is not dog friendly so my house is not available for boarding.
About: I bring the magic where ever I go, especially to visit the dogs and cats of Charleston. I love to take them on adventures to Hampton park, Magnolia Plantation, the island beaches, or around Colonial Lake. Some of my regulars include the 2 cutest Dachsunds downtown. I’m experienced with all breed and sizes! I am a local contractor so my schedule is very flexible. I can do mid day walks or drop ins as long as I don’t have a job to do! I will always take your dog on regular walks and play with younger dogs or any who have the energy. I know how to pet the grumpiest of cats without them walking away! I will give your pet a lot of attention as I know they might be missing you and want them to be relaxed as possible!
About: I have only ever cared for certain dogs for very short intervals of time. I care for my personal dog, which is a yorkshire terrier/poodle mix, and he is a small dog under 15 pounds. I have walked a few dogs before that were of medium and big size. I am a very caring person and love dogs of every breed. I only want the very best for your furry companions because I would want the same for mine. I am hoping to gain a lot of experience from pet sitting and hope that you consider me a good fit as your sitter. I do not have any special skills, I just really love dogs and want to spend my spare time having a ton of fun with them. Thank you. I work 3 12 hour shifts per week from 7pm-7am so I am available on my days off for drop ins and walks! I prefer a notice a couple of weeks in advance if booking an overnight stay so I am hopefully able to tweak my work schedule. Thanks! My dog sleeps in the bed with my husband and I and is free to roam around the house during the day. I will care for your dog however you prefer.

Ashley was even quick to respond when I sprung a quick pick-up time. I appreciate her being flexible and positive when I gave her Veri little notice on pick up time. She was also very flexible on drop-off time as well. Life doesn't always go as planned and Ashley was very understanding and supportive.”
“Angie is the absolute best! I brought my two dogs for a meet and greet before their stay and she answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. She has a lovely home and yard and you can tell how much she cares about dogs. I was nervous as I've never boarded before. One of my dogs is very nervous in new situations. Angie sent daily updates and pics text ands assured me he was doing great. And he was! Both my babies were comfortable, loved, exercised, and treated as part of the family. Angie is professional, kind, accommodating, and gentle. When I picked them up they were happy and worn out! Lots of play! We drove almost an hour out of the way to leave them with her. We will do it again! Look no further! ”

“Very beautiful and kind family. Angie and her family took very good care of Capone. With most dogs Capone got mildly injured but Angie immediately notified me and cared for Capone. She kept me updated regarding his status and health while I was away on travel. Upon my return to pick up Capone he was happy and vibrant as the day I left him with Angie and her family. I am very comfortable with rebooking another session with the family. Will definitely be using her services in the foreseeable future. Thank you for taking such good care of my fury friend.
