Great communication before and throughout the stay. Thor loved his time with Cornelius and is looking forward to his next visit.”

Cedar enjoyed having playmates for the weekend and came home to us in a chipper mood. We’ll definitely plan to hire Erin and Brian again when we have future pet sitting needs.”
“I would definitely recommend Melvin and Sean! This was our first time leaving our baby Charlie. As someone who deals with anxiety it wasn't an easy thing for me to do. However they made me feel completely at ease and assured me that he was safe and well taken care of. The photo updates they sent throughout the stay helped so much and truly gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful for the wonderful care they provided! We will definitely use them again.”

“Kate was amazing! Easy to work with and really made an effort with our kitties! Highly recommend her services. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I'd love to walk your dog and give them the love they deserve! I have experience pet sitting and walking, as well as riding and training horses growing up. I also love to run and would be happy to run with your dog if they need to get more energy out! Currently, evenings work best for me. Walks anytime after 5:30 should be fine on weekdays, and I am more flexible on weekends- I can often do walks in the afternoon as well. I am not able to provide pet day care right now. I would love to walk dogs, but can not take them into my home.
“Melissa was amazing! send me pictures of my cats every day! And really showed she cared about them, keeping them entertained and loved ❤️ great communicator as well!”
“Beth was great. Very flexible with some last minute a changes to my schedule. She was prompt and sent pictures to me of Ethel. I really appreciate her caring for my cat.”
“Kaitlin is incredibly proactive, communicative, and responsible! She watched our two cats over a weekend and sent us lots of cute photos and detailed updates. We were super impressed with her and she made us feel so secure about leaving for the weekend. I trust her completely and would highly recommend her to anyone!!”
“Molly did an awesome job watching Ivy! She was very communicative, reliable, and clearly an animal lover. Looking forward to having her back in the future for more drop ins ?”
“We always come back to Maelee! Our cats insist. They are so spoiled and relaxed when we get back. It’s as if we never left. It’s not easy to do medication and quality time. I can really relax knowing everything is taken care of.”
“Brian was freaking fantastic. They were so attentive to our sweet kitty and went above and beyond to help us out when some packages and mail were left outside. My cat truly found a new buddy and was almost a little disappointed when I walked back in when she realized it wasn’t Brian! Can’t say enough great things!”
“Great experience with Alaina taking care of my cat Isabella. Daily updates and picture of Isabella usually in the same spot and pose. Also fed birds and got my mail. Helped ease any anxiousness of leaving Isabella for a week or so. Will definitely book Alaina again. Thanks.”
“Booking with Kelsey & Forrest to take care of my cat was such a great experience! They were very communicative, sent pictures and videos of my cat, provided updates, and took very good care of my girl 🐱. This was my first experience with Rover and it was very pleasant. If you want someone that’ll take care of your pet like their own, don’t hesitate to book Kelsey & Forrest. I will definitely book them again in the future :)”
“Oh my goodness, amazing! It’s clear she is an animal lover and caretaker. The thoughtful updates on what the kitties were up to and what she did during her time at the check in were so helpful and made me feel so at ease. Will DEFINITELY rebook. Thank you SO much Moira!!!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs since childhood. My friends, family, and co-workers have trusted me to care for their fur babies! I have a senior pittie with reactive/aggressive behavior, so I do have experience and empathy towards that! I work full time Monday-Thursday 7:30am-5pm but can drop in after work or later in the evening as well. Friday-Sunday are my more flexible days! I fully respect the owner’s schedule for their pet and will follow whatever instructions are needed to ensure your pet is safe and cared for properly. I would ask the same for my own!
“Suzanne takes excellent care of our animals every time we need her help. She is very flexible, accommodating our last minute changes. Our cats are relaxed when we get home so I know they are very comfortable with her. She always sends updates with photos so I know how the pets are doing.”
“Kim did a great job looking after my cat. I can tell she cares a lot about the animals she looks after, and was great at communication. Even though my cat does the same thing every day, I looked forward to reading her updates because they were so fun!”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, currently have a rescue that is a Cur/Dalmatian mix. I fostered a German Shepherd and just found him his forever home! My previous pup was a pure bred red-nose pit! I work from home so am available for all needs! And yes, my dog does sleep on my bed! Lots of outdoor toys to tire them out! I have a fenced in yard and a “puppy pool” for those hot days! I live in a quiet neighborhood with an excellent dog walking route, even have a neighbor who put out dog treats in a mailbox for frequent walkers!
“Joshua and his pack made Jasper's first stay with them a very good experience. He started making friends with Finn and a little bit with Rocket. Joshua cares a great deal about his visitors. Great job Joshua and his pack! We will definately use his services again.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Ivy yesterday. Unfortunately she had multiple seizures during the night and is not able to return today. I wanted you to know that it was nothing that you did to cause the cancellation. We hope to see you again soon.”
“He was so nice trying get my dog use to strangers and he took the time to just sit outside with us and brought his puppy out to play with my puppy they were just running and playing was so cute”
“Megan did a great job watching our pup. She sent lots of pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. Harley was EXHAUSTED when we left, which is always a great sign. Will definitely use her again.”
“Maggie was incredibly accommodating and patient with me and last minute request. My husky loved playing with her Luna, and I love the idea of her being in a home instead of a concrete kennel. I also liked that her sons gave my pets attention while they were there. 100% would recommend Maggie to anyone!”
“Jacy was absolutely fantastic! Cinder had an amazing time with her. She sent frequent updates throughout the day along with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was incredibly kind, accommodating, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. Her home and yard were the perfect place for pups to run, play, and have a great time. What really set her apart was how she went above and beyond. At the end of the day, she surprised us with a few printed photos of Cinder to take home, which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture. It's clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches and the people who trust her with them. We could tell Cinder was happy, well cared for, and having an absolute blast. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Jacy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional Rover sitter!”
About: I've had one or more dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I currently have a senior red heeler that I rescued 8 years ago. Not only have I grown up taking care of my own dogs, as an adult I dog sit quite regularly for friends. I do work from home, which affords me the opportunity to take breaks to interact with and toilet my heeler and any other dog we have visiting, on their schedules. I work from home, so Monday thru Friday, I rarely leave my home, except to take the dog for walks. I may go away in the evenings, during the week, for a couple hours, but that's rare. I do tend to be more active on the weekends, doing my grocery shopping and running other errands, as well church on Sundays, and an occasional brunch. I do have a fenced in back yard as well as a senior red heeler (as stated earlier). My heeler doesn't really pay much attention to other dogs, and seems to prefer the company of humans. That being said, he gets along great with other dogs.
About: We have been with dogs and other animals our whole life and love dogs. Our Shiba Inu, Sami, is our fourth baby. Your pet will get the attention and safety he/she needs and will be treated no different than our own. Our work hours are flexible and we prioritize our walks with our pet so it will be the same as others. Sami gets 2 walks and 3-4 bathroom breaks per day usually at least 1 of them is off leash at a dog park. We are not a dog boarder, your dog will be in a home and will know the difference. We treat your dog with the same care as ours and will follow your instructions as instructed. Typically, bathroom break between 3-4 hours and at least 3 times per day for each dog. WE REQUIRE ALL CLIENTS TO PROVIDE PROOF OF RABIES AND DHAP.
“This was our first experience with River and boy, did we choose wisely! This was a “test” for our pups in preparation for a 2 night stay and it was really good! Jenn meet us at the front door and took the dogs immediately out the back to the yard to aid in our escape. Of course they were happy to see us upon our return but we are confident in our decision to leave them longer with Jenn. We highly recommend her!”
“My dog Lucio has a lot of anxiety with separation but he dealt with it very well when I left him with Kristopher and his family. The property is beautiful and big. Perfect for pets. Kristopher kept me informed and made me feel very comfort during the day through constant communication and reports. I’ll certainly use his services again!”
“Melissa was absolutely awesome taking care of our dog, Finn! She’s so friendly and Finn felt comfortable with her right away. I felt good leaving him in her hands. I definitely recommend her if you need some doggie daycare!”
“Susan has been a fabulous fit for our pups and our needs. She is a true animal lover, has a big fenced back yard where the dogs can frequently run and play, and she treats each dog like her own. Having my pups stay with Susan is like having them experience a trip to a “grandma’s” house, of sorts. They definitely get loved on!”
About: I’ve always had animals of my own, basically since I was old enough to walk. I started my own pet-sitting business when I was 13. I’m the go-to for friends and family when they need their babies cared for and I love every breed. I studied veterinary medicine for a number of years and have more recently begun to train dogs, as well. I work full-time but I make my own schedule. I also live just a few minutes away from my work and can pop back to my house when need be. I’m already taking care of our senior dog, our new puppy, and our two cats. I love being outside and taking the babies for walks. I have a fenced in yard as well as two other dogs and two other cats. I have a large crate as well as two portable enclosures and no shortage of extra bowls, blankets, toys, and towels. I live in a great neighborhood and there is a park a block away. It’s important to me that animals are well taken care of and I love spending extra time playing and snuggling with any babies I get to hang out with.

“Kate is incredible! Do not hesitate to book with Kate. Our dog loves when she comes over to play, walk, eat, and snuggle. Kate is punctual, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I love reading the reports and seeing the pics from the visit.”
“Jasmine is an awesome dog walker! She was very attentive and left some of the best notes I've ever had from a dog walker/sitter, which I really appreciated. She also used rover cards, which helps a ton, so I know where Moe walked and how far during the day. 10/10 will use again. I can also tell she has a lot of good experience working with animals. Thanks Jasmine!”
“Rebooking with Katie because she is the best! Our dog won’t often let us dry off her paws, and she was able to dry them after a rainy walk. Our dog already trusts her and that says a lot!”
“Brian did a great job checking in on Mochi when I had to work all day. He took him for a walk and made sure he went potty. Gave Mochi lots of treats and attention! Thanks again ?”
“I would highly recommend Maelee. She has walked Scout multiple times now and is always on time and a great communicator. Plus the cute pictures after the walk are always an added bonus 😊”
“I am a very over protective doggie mom. I met Claire and instantly liked her and so did my Daisy. She helped us out for a few days and I cannot tell you how pleased and grateful I am for hiring her. She is wonderful with dogs (and mine is strong and a bit wild). My dog LOVES her! I cannot recommend Claire enough! I wish this offered more than 5 stars!”
“Michael N. is a SUPER STAR and I can't imagine giving over the care of my Paco to anyone but Michael. I feel 100% comfortable leaving my pet with Michael because I know he will love and care for him just the same as I would and having that peace of mind is worth everything to me. I find Michael to be a genuinely kind and caring person and Paco loves him to bits so that's good enough for me. I HIGHLY recommend Michael and so does my Paco! He is simply the best!”
About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house
“Daniel is a very reliable and responsible dog walker. He has walked our two big Huskey-German Shepherds multiple times and we’ve always had great experiences. Each time the communication has been excellent and he always sends fantastic photos of our pups. We feel fortunate to be able to rely on Daniel, when we’re out of town.”
About: I have owned two dogs and they were my responsibilities to take care of them. More recently I had a 16 year old dog that I would consider my “soul dog”. She taught me how to be prepared for every stage in a dogs life ~ from puppy, to psycho hyper dog, to well behaved, to maybe doesn’t do well with other dogs, to being needy and wanting extra love, or to her wanting her alone time. She also taught me towards the end of her life how on top of appointments I needed to be or how to trick her into taking her medicine (as that was a hassle) and to pay extra attention for signs of not feeling good. I will make sure your dog gets the love and attention it needs! I love to play with dogs and miss having a companion. If your dog likes to go to the dog park I’ll take them! I think it’s good for dogs to socialize with others, unless there are circumstances that prevent that from happening that’s understandable as well. Choose me to make sure your dog gets taken care of the right way! I currently work Monday-Friday 8:30-4:30 with the availability to go home on lunches. I will make sure to adjust my schedule to what your dog needs. I currently have a roommate with a dog and help her out when needed or take her dog to the dog park when I can tell she needs socialization. I always make time to go outside. I’ll have treats to offer. Your dog will get a lot of attention with me. I’ll make sure to comfort them since they will be without their owner! I am respectful of others home’s and follow instructions for their pets.
About: I personally have 4 dogs and I’m a former foster for the humane society. I love taking care of dogs and i have experience potty training, crate training and giving medication. I also have experience with all types of animals so I’m not limited to caring for dogs only. I’m a stay at home mom so I have open availability! I’m flexible and can do long term set schedules and I’m usually available last minute! I’ll follow your instructions and keep your pet’s routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I’ll respect your home, follow feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions closely, and give your pet plenty of attention and affection. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
