“It’s not easy to find a sitter for two big dogs. We really appreciate you making it possible for us to travel knowing that our babies are safe and being cared for.”
“Judith was wonderful with Amber. Amber made friends with other dogs and I believe it will make a difference with her. Judith, you are a lifesaver and thank you for taking such great care with my baby. We will definitely see you again. Carol B”
“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.”
“Jess and her family took in my Shepherd as if she were a member of their own household. Issa is a temperamental dog who does not trust easily; however, she felt secure immediately and received ample attention and affection. Throughout my week away, I was regularly updated with messages and photographs. I paid for the pickup and drop-off services provided, which I found to be affordable and highly convenient, allowing me to leave town on schedule without unnecessary stress upon my return. I highly recommend her services.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Met Brett on Friday to drop off Our dog. He was greeted with a wonderful welcoming committee of 4 of the sitters' dogs. Was shown the huge fenced in back yard area for all of them to run in. Very nice people with great pets. Will definitely bring our boy there again if we are traveling.”
“Ashley was great! Flexible with drop off and pick up times and she sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay, making me feel more at ease as we were out of town. Will definitely book with Ashley again if we are ever back in the area.”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I currently care for both a large dog and a small Chihuahua, so I understand their different needs. I am patient, responsible, attentive, and comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, basic grooming, medications, and providing plenty of love and companionship. I’m home most of the day and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, and potty breaks. I’m available during weekdays and weekends and can follow your pet’s regular routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide close supervision, keep doors and gates secure, and carefully follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions. I can also separate pets during meals or rest time when needed.
“Lisa was the perfect fit for my two shih tzu’s! They were comfortable from the second they got there. They enjoyed her beautiful backyard and seemed to feel right at home. Lisa kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the week. We will definitely use her again :)”
“Charles was awesome and kept me up to date with my dog while I was gone. Communication was excellent and he was so understanding of my travel needs. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with Charles!”
“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:)”
“We are repeat clients with Staci and trust her and her wonderful family to sit for our baby girl. Our dog had diabetes which makes it very hard to find someone to provide daily injections, Staci is a pro and caring sitter and her family treats our dog like their own! We appreciate Staci so much!”
About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.
“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!!”
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!
“Yvonne took wonderful care of our kitten in her home. She sent us pictures and updates. Her home was lovely and she was super nice. We would definitely board with her again.”
“Ashley was great to deal with throughout the entire process - from initial contact up until we picked up our fur baby. She was very professional and showed genuine concern for the needs of our dog. I would highly recommend her services.”

“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!”
“Katia was wonderful! She kept our kitty lots of company, took great care of her and made sure she was loved and played with. She was great at keeping me updated and I have complete peace of mind while we were gone :)”
“Michelle was an excellent pet sitter! She was reliable, prompt and took very exceptional care of our 3 high maintenance cats! I would highly recommend her for any type of pet sitting service!”
“I interviewed a couple people for drop-in services for my cat, Keesa and decided to book Landry because Keesa didn't hide from her! They were comfortable with each other, and as a cat mom, that's important because it means Keesa wouldn't be stressed. Landry was good with her. She texted me every time she came in and sent pictures. I recommend Landry, and would request again if needed.”
“Carrie helped me at the last minute! So grateful for her support and professionalism. She understood our kittens special needs and kept him safe. I recommend Carrie to any pet owner fortunate enough to book her. Thank You!”

I believe that cats are around to comfort us, but also to be comforted by their humans. They need us as much as we need them. I'm here to provide the means necessary to keep your cat happy and playful.
About: Iv grown up my whole life caring for animals. I started when id help my grandmothers with their dogs and eventually ended up with a family dog as well which I helped without the most. That was until I got my very own pet cat and have been taking care of her by myself for years. I loved animals so much I have devoted my college experience to studying marine biology. Right now I am at college for summer conditioning since I am on the basketball team. I have practice from 9-11/30 so I don’t start drop-ins till noon but after noon I’m happy to come visit as much as you would like. I listen to you. Whatever you need or want me to do for your furry friend i am happy to ablige. I want to give your the best experience its owners are away.
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 typically work 3 days a week and would be happy to travel within the Brunswick/SSI or Jekyll area to care for your fur babes. 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
“Emily was an amazing help with my chickens! it was a bit of an odd request, but she handled them great sent pictures and communicated thoroughly. i would definitely recommend her.”
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.
“Lindsay did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. It was nice to come home and not have to clean up after the cats because Lindsay was so diligent about doing everything I requested on her visits.”
“Kariah was excellent. Thankfully she took the time out of her weekend to take care of my cat and make sure he was alright while I was gone. Will definitely use her in the future as long as I’m in the area.”
About: Growing up I always wanted to be a veterinarian due to the love and compassion I had for all types of animals. Due to my environment the only animals besides those of nature that I was around were mainly cats and dogs. I took that to my advantage and spent every moment possibly with any cat or dog I could get my hands on. There were always stray litters of kittens and I made sure to always find them and bring them home. We took care of them and rehomed them. It may have drove my mother batty, but she knew I cared for every animal I met and had to do this. Fast forward to adulthood, I still scream like a child inside whenever I see a cat or dog… which yes happens to be a lot. I own two of my own German shepherds and two cats. My parents have always had small dogs so I am used to dogs of all sizes. I am currently a stay at home mom needing to find a job that will be rewarding work to me and help me support my family I have two separated fenced yards and a cozy bedroom inside. If kid friendly, they will be allowed to roam and hangout in our dog friendly home. If they are not friendly with my dogs I will make sure my dogs are kept separate as your fur babies will be my first priority always. They will be allowed to be outdoors with access to indoors whenever they would like. Fresh water and food provided always. Treats with permission. If staying overnight, they will be crated in the bedroom next to mine. If friendly and potty trained, they may roam at night.
About: I love dogs. I have been doing drop-ins and dog walking for two years. I got on Rover just recently. The time I spend on a drop-in or walk with your dog is 100% about them. Love is always a two-way street with dogs, and I enjoy bonding with them and caring for them. I work for myself so I have flexibility I just need a day's notice to set up a home visit. I enjoy walking and am walking everyday and would enjoy walking your dog. I currently do visits to the dogs place of residence and I accommodate whatever the particular dog is accustomed to in a loving way. It is very important to me that the dog feels comfortable where they're at as well as with me. This hasn't ever been an issue.

“Lisa took great care of our girl while we visited Cumberland Island. She was flexible with arrival and pick up times and sent us several photos of their day together. She catered the care to our dog's needs and Mina was relaxed and tired at the end of the day. We wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.”
“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!!”

“It’s not easy to find a sitter for two big dogs. We really appreciate you making it possible for us to travel knowing that our babies are safe and being cared for.”
“Judith was wonderful with Amber. Amber made friends with other dogs and I believe it will make a difference with her. Judith, you are a lifesaver and thank you for taking such great care with my baby. We will definitely see you again. Carol B”
“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.”
“Jess and her family took in my Shepherd as if she were a member of their own household. Issa is a temperamental dog who does not trust easily; however, she felt secure immediately and received ample attention and affection. Throughout my week away, I was regularly updated with messages and photographs. I paid for the pickup and drop-off services provided, which I found to be affordable and highly convenient, allowing me to leave town on schedule without unnecessary stress upon my return. I highly recommend her services.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Met Brett on Friday to drop off Our dog. He was greeted with a wonderful welcoming committee of 4 of the sitters' dogs. Was shown the huge fenced in back yard area for all of them to run in. Very nice people with great pets. Will definitely bring our boy there again if we are traveling.”
“Ashley was great! Flexible with drop off and pick up times and she sent me pictures throughout my dog’s stay, making me feel more at ease as we were out of town. Will definitely book with Ashley again if we are ever back in the area.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lisa was the perfect fit for my two shih tzu’s! They were comfortable from the second they got there. They enjoyed her beautiful backyard and seemed to feel right at home. Lisa kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the week. We will definitely use her again :)”
“Charles was awesome and kept me up to date with my dog while I was gone. Communication was excellent and he was so understanding of my travel needs. My dog seemed to enjoy his time with Charles!”
“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:)”
“We are repeat clients with Staci and trust her and her wonderful family to sit for our baby girl. Our dog had diabetes which makes it very hard to find someone to provide daily injections, Staci is a pro and caring sitter and her family treats our dog like their own! We appreciate Staci so much!”
About: I provide attentive, high-quality in-home boarding with a focus on comfort, safety, and personalized care. My goal is to create a reliable, low-stress experience where your dog feels secure, cared for, and completely at home. Because I work from home, your dog will receive consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm, structured environment throughout their stay. A typical day includes a morning walk before work, lunchtime fetch and unlimited potty breaks. My husband and I share our home with two well-socialized, friendly dogs who are fully up to date on vaccinations and genuinely enjoy the company of other dogs in their fully fenced in backyard and a very friendly cat (that believes he is one of the dogs). I’m experienced in caring for pets for friends and family, and I approach every stay with the same level of care and responsibility I would expect for my own pets. Each dog’s routine is thoughtfully maintained, including daily walks, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also offer supervised swim time with owner approval.
“Ashley was great to deal with throughout the entire process - from initial contact up until we picked up our fur baby. She was very professional and showed genuine concern for the needs of our dog. I would highly recommend her services.”
