“Jenn was beyond amazing! She cared for our boy Loki as her own and made sure to keep him fulfilled and entertained throughout his stay. Went above and beyond to help him feel welcome, happy, and loved 😊 The backyard was an advantage as well and a very safe space! Very grateful for all the pictures and updates she would send even if it was just something simple, made us feel connected with Loki while away ❤️ He had an amazing time with Jenn and Millie! Loki definitely loved his stay and we will for sure be messaging for future stays!”
“Nicole and her husband were both extremely nice, considerate, and accommodating! My dog has mobility problems, and they went out of their way to get floor mats to help my dog and future dogs move around their house.”
“After our initial Meet & Greet we were super impressed with Poria! We have already had a second extended stay for our Fur Baby and it turned out awesome! Poria sent lots of pictures and updates and was so understanding about Gunny's needs. She came home a very happy puppy! I would highly recommend Poria. She's the best.”
“I went into this not knowing what to expect but my first experience with Rover has been great. Lulu was boarded by Cassie for a few days and the entire process and visit was nothing short of amazing! Cassie taught Lulu some commands and took very good care of her. She sent me lots of photos and videos and communicated very well. Lulu was so happy to meet a new sweet furry friend (Korra) as well! 🥰 I will definitely be seeking out Cassie again the next time we are in need. Thank you Cassie! 💜”
“Michelle was super sweet and sent pics and videos the whole time our dog stayed with her. She had great communication and our dog did not want to leave. Her dog was so sweet too and they got along great.”
“Courtney was fantastic with our pups. We appreciated the chance to meet her prior to our booking date. She was great at communication, took our pups on waljs, and we loved the photos she sent. Highly recommend her services.”
“Charles did an amazing job taking care of Kenji. From daily updates and photos to ensuring Kenji had walks and playtime. Kenji got along well with Knox, who is a Dalmatian as well. Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“Valerie was absolutely amazingggg with our pupson, Bean! Even though we had a busy weekend, Valerie kept us updated on Bean! 100000% booking with her again!”
“We had an amazing experience boarding our pup, Appa, with Tessa & Travis! They took fantastic care of him, and their dogs loved playing with him. Highly recommend their services for any pet parent!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing as a pet sitter for my dog, Parker! She was kind, dependable, and treated him with so much care and attention. What really stood out was how understanding she was when I needed to extend the booking due to a family situation—she was flexible and accommodating without hesitation. I truly felt at ease knowing Parker was in such great hands. I’ll definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Donna did such a great job taking care of my little kitty boy Sebastian while we had flooring done in our home. Thank you so much Donna for your kindness and I will definitely be in contact in the future when I need a trusted person to care for my pet.”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Steven provided for my pup, Abby! From the moment we met, it was clear he had a natural connection with dogs and a genuine love for animals. Abby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly well-loved while I was away. Steven kept me updated with messages, which gave me great peace of mind. It’s always a little nerve-wracking to leave your pet with someone new, but Steven exceeded all expectations. I returned to a happy, healthy pup. Highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
“Ms. Alexis was absolutely amazing watching Biscuit! She was so accommodating and helpful as we had a sudden funeral to attend. Biscuit was extremely well taken care of and if you need someone who will truly love and take care of your pet, I 100% recommend using Ms. Alexis”
“Terry was so great throughout my puppy’s visit! Great communication and care. Loved how much play was involved throughout the visit. My puppy came by very happy and tired. I will be using Terry for any future boardings!”
“Brandi did an amazing job! Charlotte is my sweet baby girl and I will not leave her with just anyone. It has to be someone I know I can trust to take good care of her. After our long time dog sitter retired, I was nervous about finding someone new. Brandi kept our precious little Charlotte for 10 days and she sent us updates, pictures/videos daily. She was always very responsive when I would reach out to check on Charlotte. You can tell without a doubt she genuinely loves what she does. Charlotte seemed very happy with Brandi and was very well cared for. I most definitely would recommend Brandi, and we will without a doubt book with her again. If you're looking for an amazing dog sitter who is attentive to your dogs needs, and will shower them with lots of love and attention, Brandi does all of that and more. ☺️”
About: Hi! I’m a psychology major at Augusta University and currently work as an RBT supporting autistic children, which has made me patient, attentive, and very comfortable building trust through positive reinforcement. I’ve loved dogs my entire life, especially after owning and training my German Shepherd for 8 years, and I now have a puppy of my own who keeps me enjoying daily walks, park time, and training every day. (For boarding, she would stay with my family so your pet would have my full attention and a calm space.) I especially like working on basic positive reinforcement with treats or a clicker when wanted. I love petting and getting to know every dog I see, so any chance to spend time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. I have open availability! Sometimes I may have an appointment or time commitment, but generally I am free throughout the week. I don’t have any scheduling or preference issues with overnight, extended, or evening hours either. I live in a townhome with a fenced patio. The patio has dirt/grass for going potty, a concrete center, and a backdoor that opens to a walking path. I have two floors with the bottom floor being hardwood (accident friendly!). For crate-preferred pets I have a 48in kennel (deep cleaned before and after use), or if crate-averse there is a guest bedroom that would be situated. I bring my own doggy bags and leash, but can use whatever is preferred. If desired I also have Buddy Trainers mini training treats that can be used for positively reinforcing your pet. My default approach is to focus primarily on your pet’s comfort rather than training, with the option of passive training being added into that approach. If boarding, I could take your pet on walks around the very dog-pro community where there are consistently opportunities to socialize, explore, and play in the paths available. Also with boarding my puppy would not share the space and would be at my family’s throughout your pet’s stay. Regardless of whether your pet is boarding at my home or if sitting at your’s, I have no problem deep (and properly) cleaning any accidents that come up. My approach with all pets, especially dogs, is positive reinforcement through doing things they enjoy. I try to set your pet up for success by matching their energy and minimizing any reason to feel anxious, sized up, or uncomfortable in general.
“Katie P. was a great caretaker to our teacup yorkie, Baby. She kept us very updated on how Baby was doing and adjusting to her stay. Another great aspect of Katie P.'s services is the Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/StaffordPups/?hc_ref=SEARCH&fref=nf) she created to allow dog parents to keep up with their dog as much as they want! Katie is very flexible, responsive, and we even believe she taught our dog a thing or two. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“We had a great experience! Daisy was well taken care of, Whittney was great communicating while we were away, and our fur baby was excited to stay! Thank you again and we can’t wait to bring her back.”

“We had a great experience! Chelsey stopped by while we were away and made sure our cats had plenty of food and water, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Valerie went above and beyond to ensure Jiro was taken care of while my wife and I were on vacation. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!”

“Alden provided excellent care for my two cats. Alden showed up on time every time and did everything I asked for the cats. Alden even picked up our mail! We will definitely book again and highly recommend Alden for cat sitting.”
“Layla did a fantastic job looking after my three cats while I was away. It's nerve racking trusting your animals to other people's care, but I feel much better knowing I had someone like Layla looking after them. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Amanda is our go to Rover in Augusta. She is so easy to work with and has taken great great care of our cat! She is extremely reliable and I would recommend her to anyone who needs pet sitting in the Augusta area!”
“Brianna is great! I've used her several times and she always keeps us informed during her visit and sends lots of pictures. She follows through with all the special instructions I leave and gives detailed reports on how my pets are doing each day. Highly recommend!”
“Meaghan was great with my two cats, Gemini and Leo. Leo has been having some digestive issues and I was looking for someone that would feel comfortable handling any problems and knowledge of these typical issues we can have with our pets. Meaghan was perfect in this regard as she is in veterinary school and actually had some great suggestions for me to try during our meet and greet. I also needed someone that could keep the cats in their routine and be with them most of the day. Meaghan does classes online so met this need fully. I plan to book with Meaghan again for my next vacation.”
About: I’ve grown up with cats and love their unique personalities. I’m very patient and gentle, which helps shy or nervous cats feel comfortable. I pay attention to body language, give space when needed, and offer affection when they want it. I’m experienced with basic care like feeding schedules, litter cleaning, enrichment and play, and keeping indoor cats safe. My goal is to make sure your cat feels relaxed, loved, and cared for while you’re gone!
“Absolutely wonderful!!! My kitties were comfortable with her right away which allowed me to leave knowing they were in good hands!!! Everything was clean and kitties were well fed and well loved! Thanks Katie!!!'”
“Courtney was fantastic! She put so much extra effort into taking care of our pets, even for a few days. Our animals can experience some anxiety, and Courtney did an amazing job providing them fun activities that she brought from home and understanding their behaviors as part of their care. We will absolutely be booking her again! ☺️”
“Many thanks to Caitlin for taking such good care of my bengal! She’s very accommodating and communicative! First time having to hire a cat-sitter and I couldn’t have asked for a better service 👍”
About: From when I was 15 years old to 18 years old, I supported a local cattery. I have no problem with dirty litters or sensitive kitties. I also have experience administering injection, oral, and inhaler medicine to kittens and cats.
“Sachi took care of my three cats, and she gave me peace of mind while I was away. She sent me detailed reports and updates, and pictures of my critters (which was nice because I missed them a lot)! I definitely recommend Sachi!! Thanks again! 🤠”

“Cassie is absolutely wonderful. She has a calm spirit and was great with my puppy. She's excited to see Cassie everytime we visit. I got pictures, video and even a little training for my puppy. If you're looking for someone professional and who will take great care of you dog, Cassie should be your first choice.”
“My dog loves this woman. She did a few drop-in visits for us prior to in-home daycare. We pulled up to her home and, when she saw Chelsey, my timid pup went trotting into Chelsey’s house like she forgot I existed (she was excited to see me at pickup, so no hard feelings lol). Have already booked her again!”
“Michelle was a joy to work with , she kept me updated on my pup with pictures and videos his entire stay and her dog Max is a gentle giant he made Dash feel welcomed”
“Charles was awesome and took very good care of Tucker. We were in town for a tournament and he was very understanding when our last game ran into double overtime causing us to be 1/2hr late for pick up. It seemed that our pup didn’t travel too well and had a sensitive stomach during his stay, Charles took very good care of Tucker despite his stomach upset. Very grateful he was in good hands!”
About: I've had dogs of all sizes and ages since childhood. My husband faithfully walks the dogs at least once a day. We have two small dogs who love to play and run. We would love to have your dogs here with us well-taken care of while you are away! Tessa is a stay-at-home mom who occasionally babysits or subs at school. If we accept your reservation, she will be here at home to take care of the dogs as needed. We have a fully fenced yard. We usually leave our doggie window open except in extreme weather, so your dog can go in and out as desired. We have a dachshund mix and a shiz tsu/ poodle who would love to keep your dog company
“Brandi did a great job with Rocky. It was his first time with a sitter and I was very apprehensive about how well he would settle in. He ate, pottied, played, napped and had a good time. Brandi communicated throughout the day and really made me feel more comfortable that she was taking good care of him. I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Brandi.”
“Aliyah was very kind, accommodating I book last minute and she still told my babies, they had a great time came home and went to straight to sleep. I would recommend and definitely will be booking again.”
“Alexcis was great with Tiberius! I usually used boarding facilities, but I realized that Tiberius was not getting the proper care so I decided to give Rover.com a try. After reading all the reviews from other clients and reading about her experience, it wasn't hard not to choose her. Tiberius had anxiety issues when initially meeting new dogs, but at our first meeting Alexcis knew exactly what to do to make both him and I comfortable. Tiberius has had four daycare stays with her now and I wish I had found her sooner. She is definitely trustworthy and very knowledgeable in what she does!”
“Kristina and her boyfriend are amazing people !!! My puppy was well taken care of without me in site. Kristina also sent me a lot of good pics while he was there and kept me updated on what was going on and everything. I think I have a lifelong friend now with them both!! They have beautiful spirits and great energy to be around. I look forward for Paco to go over there again and again !!”
“My puppy came home tired out and wagged her tail to go back when she saw Mary the next time. Very busy home with lots of action and fun. Mary was very responsive, able to provide updates, and followed requests. Thanks!”
“Terry is so great with our dog, Tombo! She’s so caring and really attentive. You won’t be disappointed if you’re looking for your pet daycare or boarding!”
“Mandy was very easy to work with when making arrangements for daycare and was very welcoming of our pup. I received updates throughout the day which were greatly appreciated. You won’t go wrong with Mandy.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I have years of experience walking dogs in my neighborhood. I’d love the chance to get to know and care for your dogs too! When I was younger I volunteered with the Humane Society and also spent time fostering both dogs and cats whenever I could. Doing that has taught me a lot about caring for animals of all ages, and personalities. Senior dogs especially have my heart. My own dog lived to be 18 years old, so I understand the extra care, patience, and attention older dogs sometimes need. I also have experience caring for blind and hard of hearing dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter if your pet is young and energetic or a sweet senior, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me! I currently just moved here, I’m available full time everyday to care for your pet at my home! They will get endless love and attention from me I have a fenced yard and two small dogs of my own, one is very playful! If your dog is used to walks I can also take them for walks in my neighborhood.I’ve also pet sat for several families back in my hometown and love caring for dogs. I have a small covered area where my dogs can go potty, helping keep them safe from hawks and coyotes. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. Dogs are treated like family in my home. They’re welcome on the furniture and can sleep on the bed if that’s what they’re used to. Your pup will get lots of love, attention, and care while they’re with me!
“Heather was fantastic! I get so nervous leaving Bandito with people and she sent me lots of pictures and videos to help put my mind and ease and show me how he was settling in. I will definitely be taking Bandito back. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Karen is amazing with my dog when he stays with her for daycare. She is very patient and is always able to make sure he is comfortable and happy. She also takes the time to play with him and make sure he is having fun. I always feel confident leaving my dog with her knowing he is in good hands.”

“Dorothy was a life saver with our nervous pup. She was patient and understanding and let our dog get comfortable with her. I really appreciate her good dog sense and great communication. Thank you Dorothy!”
“Nicole was fantastic with my dog! My dog is very skittish with strangers and she was able to get her to open up in just a few short visits! She provided pictures and gave me piece of mind while I was away. Highly recommend ☺️”
“Monica took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. She was very punctual and the dogs loved her. We have some webcams to keep an eye on the doggies when we are out and they were always excited when Monica arrived.”
“Amanda was GREAT! She was so caring and text promptly to let me know how he did after their first walk. She even took the time to come meet Cooper beforehand. Will use again!”
About: I grew up with pitbulls, blue heelers, and cats. I currently have two fur babies named Theodore and Jax (who are living a 5 star luxury life 🐾). My friends reach out to me if they need help with caring for their doggies. I’m trustworthy and will respect your instructions! I will not do anything or give anything to your pup unless it’s specifically stated beforehand or I ask you first. I do not have children so it’s easy for me to be flexible in caring for your baby! I will provide loving care, and most of all, keep you updated and send plenty of photos to give you the reassurance that your pup is safe and cared for. I LOVE plants, so if there’s any plants you need watered while you’re away, I’d happily do so! I currently do not work. I mostly tend to my fur babies or my garden most days. I am doing college online but it is very flexible. My schedule is pretty flexible! Unfortunately, I cannot take care of animals in my home. We are renting and our lease states we have to have prior approval and charge a fee if another animal will be residing with us. My corgi (Theodore) is a bit of an introvert as well and does not enjoy other animals (other than Jax) in his space. I am able to drive and take care of your pet in your home! I don’t mind taking multiple trips if that will put you at ease about your pet!
About: I love caring for animals and find it rewarding to help others with their best friends! I will take care of your 4 legged family member like they are my own! I am a high energy individual and would love to take your pup on a walk or snuggle up with your meowkins. I currently have a cat named Scarlett who likes to play fetch..a kitty named Watson who was feral and we have convinced that life with us is way better than life on the streets..Miles..who is true orange boy and a FIP survivor. I also have a pup named Marley that wandered into our yard 11 years ago and won us over with his kisses and snuggles under the blankets. Can’t wait to work with you and your family! I can work around a vast amount of drop in schedules to make what you need happen! I am off every weekend and every other Friday. Typically off by 5pm every day. But like I said- I can be flexible. I do have a fenced in back yard (privacy fence). I have a few different rooms within my house and can be flexible on the care that you want for your baby
About: I have 5 dogs at home ranging from a small Yorkie mix to a large lab-pit mix! I am used to taking care of dogs of all sizes and breeds and look forward to meeting your dog! I am a full time student with plenty of free time in the afternoon! I would love to fill my free time with dog walks! I live with roommates with dogs and have 5 dogs at home, so I believe in treating every dog like they are my own! Your dog will be in good hands and will get all the love and attention they deserve!
About: How owners want there furry friends to be loved is how they will be expected and treated the best way possible! They will be cared for in the best way possible. I let out or walk dogs in the morning and during my lunch time I walk them again and right after work I walk them again. And right before bed I walk them again. How ever the owner wants me to take care of there furry friend I take care of them how they are expected to be loved
“Sachiho is absolutely wonderful. She is very punctual and provides lots of pictures and updates from the walk and goes above and beyond for my dog. I truly feel I leave my dog in good hands with Sachiho. Highly recommend!!”

About: I've had pets my whole life! Currently we have 2 dogs(husky/lab mix and a black lab) and 5 cats who are all very all loved! I currently homeschool 3 girls 10-16, so I am home for most of the day. That gives me the opportunity to be able to let your pet go potty when needed or go for walks.

“Jessica was amazing! We were constantly updated throughout the stay and felt at ease while we are away. Highly recommend Jessica for anyone needing pet boarding. ☺️”
“We had to be away for 7 hours and we needed someone to watch our lab pup. I was worried at first, but after meeting Samantha, we were relieved how amazing she was with our pup. Our pup is a little shy meeting new dogs and needs more socialization. Samantha picked up our pup and her experience allowed her to introduced them slowly and correctly. We could tell by the pics we received, that after a couple of hours, my pup and her dog (lady) were playing and sleeping together so well. Both Samantha and her dog were sweet and playful with my pup. Buy the time I got back and she dropped my pup off, she passed out with all the energy she burned to day. But I can tell my pup had an amazing day. I will use Samantha again and would highly recommend her to others. Thanks Samantha and Lady!”
“Strongly recommend! Very easy and great to work with, I received daily updates and felt very comfortable leaving my dog. Will use again, and highly recommend.”
“Samantha and Cole were amazing with my dog! From the moment we met, I felt completely comfortable leaving my pup in their care. They sent regular updates and the sweetest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog looked so happy and relaxed in every picture, it was clear they treated him right like one of their own. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be booking with them again!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I loved it! She is attentive and understanding. You can tell she loves the animals that she takes care of. With it being my first time away from my dog, especially with Maxi being under the care of a stranger, I was worried and have been missing her even more. Genesis gave me updates and sent me pictures of Maxi, which calmed my nerves. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“Payton took great care of our baby while we were out of town. She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates with pictures. We felt at ease that our pup was being cared for well.”
“My pup got treated like family and they took great care of and they were great with updating me on how my boy was doing. I would use them again and I highly recommend.”
