“Judith was the best pet sitter we’ve had. She went above and beyond to make Zelie feel at home. She made communication easy and sent frequent photos, videos, and updates. She welcomed us warmly at drop off and made pick up on our schedule easy. I highly recommend Judith!”
About: Happy trails and happy tails! We adore animals and truly enjoy caring for them. It’s something that already fits naturally into our daily life. Living in a quieter, more spacious setting, we wanted to create a safe, calm place where pets can feel comfortable while their owners are away. We understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so we focus on giving them attention, consistency, and a low stress environment. For us, we know how it feels to consider our pets as family members and it’s something we take seriously and genuinely brings us joy! We have had the privilege of loving several fur babies over the years and know what it means to have trusted partners and friends that can help out when the need arises. Our sweet companions should have a comfortable and safe space to relax when families have to be away. In recent years we’ve struggled to find that for our own pets so we’ve decided to open our home and land in order to help those looking for a reliable option for care. Sharing our hobby farm would be an honor for those who feel it would be a good fit for their families! We look forward to growing trusted partnerships in our community. We are homeschooling family of 3 that spends the majority of our days working and learning here on our mini hobby farm. My husband remote works and one of us can be found here most days of the week. We have 2 male yellow labs that hold down the outside spaces and female golden doodle that keeps things fun inside. They are very social and friendly with other animals. We also have 3 outdoor cats, a bunny in a hutch, and a large coop of chickens that free range in the afternoons. We do mealtimes 2x per day and have plenty of fresh clean water available at all times. Playtime and walks are every day around noon and again in the evenings. Potty breaks 3-4 times per day or as needed. For the safety of our furry friends we do crate or provide a smaller space for resting and relaxing times. If your pet cannot be confined in smaller rooms or spaces throughout the day, let’s discuss how to best care for their needs prior to booking a stay.
“We had a wonderful experience with Jelisa! She was incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made our schedule so much easier to manage. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and sent plenty of pictures, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, it was clear that she was very loving and attentive with our dog. You could tell our baby was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and kindness shown, and we would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”
About: I have always had dogs and cats. I have medical for animals and shots.i have been caregiver for humans and pets.i would love to get to know your pets I don't work. Any times just call. It's quiet where I live with my small dog who is friendly with other pets but no cats. I have a small friendly dog with dogs and kids. I love all animals and raise many different animals.im a caregiver for humans and dogs.
“Batisse had his first longer stay with Sandra and Brett. I know they took great care of him! They took great care to understand any special instructions. I loved the pictures they sent with his new buddies. He came home happy and exhausted! We’ll definitely book with them again.”
“Pamela is amazing! Great communication and very happy puppy! Thank you so much for taking care of our Cooper while we had to run far out of town for a family affair. This was my first time using Rover and I'm glad Pamela was available to help us. She left no doubt that Cooper was being well taken care of. Don't think twice about leaving your furry family member with her!”
“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”
“Alexis was great. She is attentive and wants to make your dog feel at home and loved while you’re away. If we weren’t moving I would definitely have her watch our pup again.”
“Great experience! We left our cavapoo for a few nights for his first time away and we felt very comfortable. Great communication. Will reach out again when we travel. Thank you!”
“First time using rover. I could not be happier. Kristina sent me pics and seems my dog got along very well with their dog. I’ve boarded my dog before but she always came home dirty and always seemed to not be feeling well. I picked up my dog from Kristina and she was clean and happy. Thank you Kristina, Aurora and family. We will be seeing you again soon.”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Staci went above and beyond, accomodating our request for a friend to pick up our pup for a few hours during the stay so he could make a guest appearance at our wedding. She sent regular updates and was communicative throughout.”
“We will definitely use Jennifer again! She kept us updated during our puppy’s overnight stay and sent us several cute photos of our puppy playing with her and the other dogs. It was wonderful knowing our pup was in good hands!!”
“5 stars all the way! Benjamin took care of our senior dog on a recent trip to st simons. She is on tons of meds I clouding eye drops and required a lot of special attention. Benjamin was on top of it and never missed a pill or treatment. He took her on nice walks ans between him and his girlfriend gave her lots of loves and pets. His little dog Millie is super sweet ans friendly and just loved on my Rana too! Even though Rana is shy with other dogs they immediately hit it off and I think the visit was good for her! I will definitely book Benjamin again. Very friendly, professional and responsible!”
“Melissa did an amazing job with our dogs! She was very detailed and communicative. She clearly showed them lots of love. I would absolutely recommend her and plan on using her services again!”
“Ashley was wonderful! We were staying nearby at a hotel in Jekyll Island and her house was the perfect little quick detour. Our dog, Max, seemed to love his stay. She sent us many photos and even remembered to give Max his meds when I, at the last minute, decided to pick him up sooner than originally planned. If we’re ever in the area again, we will 100% book her again!”
About: I’ve raised two dogs as puppies and have extensive experience in training them. My current dog, Penny, is a rescue and loves to run around and play outside. I make sure to provide attentive supervision so the dogs feel comfortable and at ease. I work from home full-time so I have plenty of opportunities to let the dogs out throughout the day for potty breaks or play time. Weather permitting, we take long walks each morning after breakfast, and at night after dinner. I have a fenced in yard so my dog spends a lot of time outside running around or just hanging out. I also have a large screened in porch when she needs a break from the sun. Penny sleeps in my office (her room) next to the bedroom which is where other dogs would sleep as well. I don’t allow dogs on furniture or sleep in the bed.
“Yvonne was wonderful with Miley! I could tell when I walked in to pick her up that Miley had a good week and was at ease with Yvonne. I appreciated the pictures and updates! I would definitely ask Yvonne to keep Miley again if I had travel plans and she was willing - it was a good experience for Miley and mom!”
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”

“Highly recommend! My cat was looked after so well and in every photo sent she looked so happy and taken care of when I had to be away for a few days. If you need someone who will look after your cat and provide them extra love I highly recommend these sitters!”
About: Even though I love both, I am definitely a cat person. I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playing, and giving cats plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every cat is different, so I’m happy to follow their usual routine and give them space when they need it
“My first time using Rover as I recently moved. What a blessing for Katia P to have looked after my feline ladies these past 4 days! She is very professional, prompt, caring, responsive care giver for my felines ladies. I will ask Karia to oversee my felines ladies again!”
“Nicole is the best sitter. She always sends the cutest most playful pictures and keeps me updated on what Sylvester and her did that day. I can count on her to show up at a consistent time each morning and her communication is great.”
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 12! Neighbors, friends, and family relied on me to watch, walk and feed their pets. As a fitness enthusiast I enjoy daily walks and runs, especially when I can bring a furry friend along! I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! I can take breaks as needed to go for walks, feeding and play time any day, all day. I have an apartment home that is pet friendly with a friendly cat of my own! I can easily separate my cat from your fur baby as needed. There is a gated dog area within walking distance from my home!
About: I’ve been around cats since I was a kid about six years old. I love cats just as much as I love dogs. I stated before my very first dream job as a kid was to be a veterinarian. I love to take care of cats. I love their demeanor. I love how different they are than dogs how they love in their own way they love on their terms. I love the different personalities of cats. I know that you can’t rough house with a cat the way you with rough house with most dogs. I know the requirements of taking care of a cat that include litter boxes, feeding them a different food than dogs eat and a different way of taking care of cats than dogs.
About: My family always joked I’d become a crazy cat lady. Joke’s on them! I love all animals, but to be fair, cats are my favorite. 🐱 I understand that every cat has their own personality, whether they’re a cuddle bug, playful menace, shy baby, or prefer to admire you from afar. I’m experienced with senior cats, specialty diets, and administering oral and topical medications. Most importantly, I’m happy to meet your cat where they are and give them the care, attention, and space they need to feel comfortable while you’re away.
“Shevy did a great job! She looked after my kitty while we were out of town for a week. She made sure to send pics and great updates. I definitely felt comfortable having her take care of my cat. I highly recommend!”
About: I have always had a passion for animals. I started sitting for furbabes when I was in high school.I am an Army Veteran and work at an urgent care as a Medical Assistant. I have a Great Pyrenees, Whiskey whose is considered special needs and 3 cats Pendleton,Jameson and Moscato who are all full of energy.

I try to stay under a 10 mile radius from where I live in historic Brunswick. Please feel free to reach out to me for more detailed scheduling options and pricing for a case by case basis.If you require more than one visit a day, I do charge an extra $5 for the 2nd service. I also like to do a military/first responder/student discount! As for cancellations I do require a 48hour notice for drop in visits but I understand that it’s not always possible. My priority is caring for your furbabes above all. I only ask for a 48hour notice because I often have to turn other clients away when one is already booked. I unfortunately do not offer boarding. I am able to accommodate furbabes with special needs pets as I have a Pyrenees with hip dysplasia. Because of my medical background I am more than comfortable and experienced administering injections. I have a special place in my heart caring for geriatric or injured furbabes- I take extra time with them free of charge. I also am able to help care for small/ large breed pups and cats. I also have experience with livestock and spend extra time with gentle giants such as horses- I grew up in the Midwest and was always helping out on the farm

I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.
About: I have raised and cared for families, friends 🧡, and even coworkers' pets. Growing up, I always enjoyed watching veterinarians help our farm animals. My mother taught us about natural remedies we could find in nature to help cure or heal us over time. One memorable experience was when I saved a beloved cat from what we believed was antifreeze poisoning. Drawing on what I learned from my family and my work, I created activated charcoal using black coal from the fireplace. I mixed the powdered charcoal with warm milk and carefully forced it down my little cat's throat. Thankfully, I was able to save my cat, Taco 🌮 😺, who went on to live for many more happy years.
About: First off I am more than just a dog sitter..I am an animal lover and I have a lot of compassion for all dogs and animals ! Your dog/furbaby is going to think of me as a best friend before the day is over. I will be available at least 3 times a day to walk, feed, groom, play, and whatever else it is you and your dog need ! I have not only owned my own furbabies, but I have also helped take care of other people’s pets for at least 17 years now. I love all animals and can help take care of your pets even if it is more than just a dog..I also love and take care of cats, rabbits, birds, hamsters, fish, and more ! I work from home and only leave to drop-in on my other fur baby clients. So I am never gone any longer than 30 minutes a day. I have a fenced in yard, so all fur babies in my care get to roam free and I also take them on walks around my neighborhood for exercise. Not to mention the one on one attention they receive and endless love and cuddles! I make homemade dog treats too. Sweet potato, blueberries, and all!

“Yvonne did a terrific job with our persnickety Shih Tzu, Fitz. She was patient and kind as he settled in, even after his hunger strike on day one. She sent pictures of him as we traveled, reassuring us that we had left him in the right place. Highly recommend Yvonne!”
“Jen and her family could not have been nicer, truly the best sitter we could have asked for! We felt totally comfortable leaving our pom with them during our weekend trip down to visit family—definitely recommend!!”
“Jessica took excellent care of our toy poodle Victor. Victor is normally shy and anxious when he’s away from home, but I could tell from the pictures that Jessica shared that he was having a great time and was being taken care of. We’ll definitely be using Jessica again!”

“Benjamin took great care of our 3-year-old high-energy lab. He’s a natural with dogs and we feel lucky to have found him. Our pup came home tired and happy after a day chasing balls in the dog park and playing with Benjamin’s dog. This was the second time Benjamin cared for our lab, and he enthusiastically jumped in his car when Benjamin picked him up. We highly recommend Benjamin for dog care services.”
“I would highly recommend Anna for anyone looking for daycare for their dog. She was very flexible working with our schedule as we were visiting St Simon Island. Communication was great and our lab Tilly was happy and well cared for.”
About: I grew up around pets like dogs, cats, fishes or even chickens. I’ve always responsible of feeding, bathing and walking them. I also pet sitting around my neighborhood when needed. I’m currently a stay at home mom. So my schedule is really flexible every day of the weeks. I can also do late evening pet care if you need someone to take care of your fur babies when you stuck at work or having a date night! I am comfortable with taking your dogs or cats for a walk in the neighborhood and even crate them if needed. I can also provide potty breaks as much as the fur babies needed.
About: Hi! I understand how important your pet is to you. We have two yorkies, Tyson and Wyatt, that are our children! We provide a caring, safe and active home for pups. Because we have two small dogs, we do prefer to sit for small dogs, under 15 pounds, to ensure everyone is safe. Our yorkies have gotten along with all dogs that they have been around. They love to play but quickly learn their boundaries. They are spoiled rotten with attention and your dog will be too! I work from home full time so there is usually someone always here to let them outside several times a day. If we go out we do put our pups in a pen I do keep my pups in a pen while I work and when we leave the home to ensure they are safe... and don't have accidents in the home!
“Kristina is a great pet sitter! Our dogs were happy and well taken care of in her home. She’s highly responsive and was great with our younger pup who is a little nervous. thankful we found her and will book again!”

“If you want your puppy to be in care while yo are gone, Crystal is the one. She sends pictures and video clips you are missing throughout thr stay. Her replies are always swift.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet’s individual boundaries. I also founded and manage an animal rescue organization in Brazil, where I have personally cared for more than 60 rescued cats. This experience has taught me how to handle animals who may be fearful, nervous, or unfamiliar with new environments, as well as pets who require extra attention, medication, or specialized care. As a pet mom to my dog Savannah and my cat Ellie, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I provide attentive, loving care and take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home. As a military spouse, I also understand how important flexibility, reliability, and trust can be for military families and their pets. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, while also making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will have someone around to keep them company and monitor their needs. I’m able to give each pet the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while they are staying with me. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions from their owner. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide frequent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make sure pets have a calm and comfortable space to relax when they need some quiet time. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, likes, and boundaries. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while keeping them safe and well cared for.

“Lahra was absolutely amazing. She was absolutely amazing with Ernie and treated him with so much love, care, and attention. From the very beginning, I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her hands. She is incredibly trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely such a kind person. It was clear how much she truly cared about Ernie, and that meant so much to me. Knowing he was happy, safe, and being so well cared for gave me complete peace of mind. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: Hi! I'm Haley, and I've been caring for animals for over 11 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet's unique personality. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, amphibians, reptiles, and even exotic pets such as tarantulas and scorpions. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering routine care, maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and making sure every pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and loves playtime or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I'm happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. I know every animal is different, and I take the time to earn their trust with patience and positive interactions. Friends and family often tell me their pets warm up to me quickly, and I've had dogs become attached to me after only a couple of visits. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I'll care for your pets as if they were my own, keeping you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine, so fitting your pet into my schedule comes easily! I have open availability and can accommodate a variety of schedules, whether your pet needs early morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care. I care for my own pet every day, including maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning habitats, and monitoring their health and behavior. For example, my pet scorpion is fed twice a week, and I mist his enclosure twice daily to maintain proper humidity. Caring for animals has become second nature to me, and I understand the importance of consistency and attention to detail. Whether your pet has a strict routine or just needs extra love and companionship while you're away, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care that keeps them happy, comfortable, and safe. I believe the best pet care starts with respecting each pet's individual routine. Every animal is different, so I make it a priority to follow your feeding schedule, exercise routine, medication instructions, and any house rules exactly as you've outlined. My goal is to keep your pet's day as familiar and stress-free as possible while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect I would my own. I'll provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, enrichment, and potty breaks while also keeping food and water fresh and cleaning up after your pet. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. If I'm caring for a pet in my own home (when applicable), I'll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable. I'll continue to follow their normal routine and make sure they receive the same level of care, affection, and supervision they would receive at home. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
About: As a dog sitter, my dedication to your pet's well-being sets me apart. I specialize in both puppy training and senior care, ensuring a tailored and compassionate experience for your furry friend. Hi! I’m a proud military wife and mom of 4, recently relocated from New York. I’m family-oriented, dependable, and love staying active. Still getting to know the area, but excited to connect and build a new start here in Georgia! In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pet, including designated play areas and cozy resting spots. I follow your pet's usual routine, providing meals, exercise, and playtime as needed. For clients who prefer in-home care, I ensure your pet's comfort and well-being by visiting at scheduled times, adhering to their routine, and offering companionship and care tailored to their specific needs.
About: I have been around or taking care of dogs since I was about six years old. I grew up around dogs of all shapes and sizes. My first dream job was to be a veterinarian because of my love for animals, but dogs more than anything else. I love dogs, and I understand that dogs have their own personalities their own emotions their own likes their own dislikes and different ways to be cared for just like humans do.i treat dogs with respect and I treat dogs with love. I never call dogs “ it” I call them by their name and gender like they should be addressed. I’ve also volunteered more than once at K9 battle buddies. I know how to adapt to different dogs with different demeanors. I am a military veteran with more time on my hands than I used to have so why not spend this time taking care of walking, watching and playing with animals that I love If a dog is in my home, I will take care of them as if this dog is mine as if I brought this dog into my family. I will treat the dog love I will protect him or her as if they are my own. If I’m in the home of the owner, I’ll respect the dogs home as if I’m babysitting a child. I will respect the home of the owner as well.
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, including my own dogs and cats. I’ve also pet-sat for friends several times, so I’m comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and needs. I’m available for drop-ins anytime throughout the entire week and have a very flexible schedule, so I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and preferred visit times. I’m also very flexible with house sitting and can accommodate different schedules and care needs. During drop ins, I provide plenty of attention and companionship, fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks if requested, playtime, and lots of love and cuddles! I’m also happy to bring in packages/mail, water plants, or take care of other small tasks around the home while I’m there. My goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away In my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you have. I give plenty of attention, keep things clean, and always make sure they feel safe and loved.

My priority is caring for your furbabes above all. I only ask for a 48hour notice because I often have to turn other clients away when one is already booked. I unfortunately do not offer boarding. I am able to accommodate furbabes with special needs pets as I have a Pyrenees with hip dysplasia.

“Judith was the best pet sitter we’ve had. She went above and beyond to make Zelie feel at home. She made communication easy and sent frequent photos, videos, and updates. She welcomed us warmly at drop off and made pick up on our schedule easy. I highly recommend Judith!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jelisa! She was incredibly flexible with both drop-off and pick-up times, which made our schedule so much easier to manage. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated with daily messages and sent plenty of pictures, which really gave us peace of mind while we were away. Most importantly, it was clear that she was very loving and attentive with our dog. You could tell our baby was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and kindness shown, and we would absolutely trust her to watch our dog again. Highly recommend!”
“Bandito stayed with Jessica for 3 nights and he can’t wait to meet his new friends again. I am also Happy that Jessica was able to accommodate my short notice request. My transactions and communications were wonderful and easy. Jessica will be my first option for the above reasons. Thank you Jessica!”
“Batisse had his first longer stay with Sandra and Brett. I know they took great care of him! They took great care to understand any special instructions. I loved the pictures they sent with his new buddies. He came home happy and exhausted! We’ll definitely book with them again.”
“Pamela is amazing! Great communication and very happy puppy! Thank you so much for taking care of our Cooper while we had to run far out of town for a family affair. This was my first time using Rover and I'm glad Pamela was available to help us. She left no doubt that Cooper was being well taken care of. Don't think twice about leaving your furry family member with her!”
“It was my first time using Rover.com app for Boarding Services for my 8 month old Labadoole, Rusty, while I travelled internationally. I was a bit apprehensive, since Rusty can be a handfull with energy to burn. Gabby ressured me Rusty will be fine, she's had plenty of experience with Labadooles. I must say, I was impressed when Gabby texted me advising Rusty was vomitting and having diarrhea. We came up with a plan to eliminate the food toppers & treats & only provide Rusty the dry food, and it worked. Rusty was fine after a few hours. Gabby kept in communication with me, sending videos & pictures of Rusty, which made me feel much better Boarding Rusty with Gabby. I would recommend Gabby for your Pet Boarding Service, and I would definiately use her service again.”
“Alexis was great. She is attentive and wants to make your dog feel at home and loved while you’re away. If we weren’t moving I would definitely have her watch our pup again.”
“First time using rover. I could not be happier. Kristina sent me pics and seems my dog got along very well with their dog. I’ve boarded my dog before but she always came home dirty and always seemed to not be feeling well. I picked up my dog from Kristina and she was clean and happy. Thank you Kristina, Aurora and family. We will be seeing you again soon.”
“Kristine watched our border collie during 4th of July. Our pup is scared of fireworks but Kristine put in extra care and work to make sure she was more than comfortable during that time. She took her to play at the beach, sent great pictures and was very communicative. It’s clear Kristine is extremely knowledgeable with all types of dogs. Definitely will be having Kristine watch our dog again, my husband and I both recommend you book with her!”
“Staci went above and beyond, accomodating our request for a friend to pick up our pup for a few hours during the stay so he could make a guest appearance at our wedding. She sent regular updates and was communicative throughout.”
“5 stars all the way! Benjamin took care of our senior dog on a recent trip to st simons. She is on tons of meds I clouding eye drops and required a lot of special attention. Benjamin was on top of it and never missed a pill or treatment. He took her on nice walks ans between him and his girlfriend gave her lots of loves and pets. His little dog Millie is super sweet ans friendly and just loved on my Rana too! Even though Rana is shy with other dogs they immediately hit it off and I think the visit was good for her! I will definitely book Benjamin again. Very friendly, professional and responsible!”
“Melissa did an amazing job with our dogs! She was very detailed and communicative. She clearly showed them lots of love. I would absolutely recommend her and plan on using her services again!”
“Ashley was wonderful! We were staying nearby at a hotel in Jekyll Island and her house was the perfect little quick detour. Our dog, Max, seemed to love his stay. She sent us many photos and even remembered to give Max his meds when I, at the last minute, decided to pick him up sooner than originally planned. If we’re ever in the area again, we will 100% book her again!”
About: I’ve raised two dogs as puppies and have extensive experience in training them. My current dog, Penny, is a rescue and loves to run around and play outside. I make sure to provide attentive supervision so the dogs feel comfortable and at ease. I work from home full-time so I have plenty of opportunities to let the dogs out throughout the day for potty breaks or play time. Weather permitting, we take long walks each morning after breakfast, and at night after dinner. I have a fenced in yard so my dog spends a lot of time outside running around or just hanging out. I also have a large screened in porch when she needs a break from the sun. Penny sleeps in my office (her room) next to the bedroom which is where other dogs would sleep as well. I don’t allow dogs on furniture or sleep in the bed.
“Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!”
“Melanie is wonderful! From the “meet and greet” to actually caring for Murphy, she was extremely patient, kind and caring. I especially appreciated the updates and her flexibility when our travel plans were delayed. She made me feel reassured that our fur baby was in good hands! 100% would recommend her to anyone:)”
“Excellent care of my 2 pups. When I brought their beds in from the car they sniffed the sitters house for a while. The sent photos are like Glamor Shots and sent multiple a day. They were definitely spoiled during their stay. They have a large Mastiff, but he's a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and respecting each pet’s individual boundaries. I also founded and manage an animal rescue organization in Brazil, where I have personally cared for more than 60 rescued cats. This experience has taught me how to handle animals who may be fearful, nervous, or unfamiliar with new environments, as well as pets who require extra attention, medication, or specialized care. As a pet mom to my dog Savannah and my cat Ellie, I understand that every pet is a member of the family. I provide attentive, loving care and take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and at home. As a military spouse, I also understand how important flexibility, reliability, and trust can be for military families and their pets. I work remotely from home, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. My schedule gives me the flexibility to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks, while also making sure your pet receives plenty of companionship. Because I’m home most of the day, your pet will have someone around to keep them company and monitor their needs. I’m able to give each pet the individual attention, care, and affection they deserve while they are staying with me. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, rest, and any special instructions from their owner. Since I work remotely from home, I’m able to provide frequent supervision and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also make sure pets have a calm and comfortable space to relax when they need some quiet time. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, habits, likes, and boundaries. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while keeping them safe and well cared for.
“Anna was amazing with my Shadow. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter than she is. I would highly recommend her to anyone for your animal sitting needs. She treats them as if they were her fur baby. I’m will be definitely using her again in the future.”
