“We were apprehensive about a long stay with a vacay out of the country. So we decided on a meet/greet overnight to be sure Alexandra’s household was a good fit for our sweet but sometimes sassy girl:) From the start, Alexandra was so warm and welcoming. And to our relief, our dog got along with hers and they’ve since had a 13 night stay together. Alexandra sent some cute pics and kept us updated. She is such a lovely person and was able to put our minds at ease. She took great care of our dog and we will definitely book with her again. Ohhh….the fenced backyard is a bonus cuz our dog LOVES to run! 😊”
“Pam is fabulous and our dog had the best time at her house full of other furry friends! Pam sent several photos and updates each day, ensuring that Taco was being well cared for and having a good time. Our dog came home exhausted after a weekend playing with the other dogs, chasing squirrels around the yard, and searching for the coziest spot in Pam’s house. We’ll definitely rebook Pam in the future!”

“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.”

“Renee was fantastic for Tycho! She sent videos of him during his stay, was accommodating of our arrival time, and it was clear Tycho had a great time. Definitely would recommend her!”
About: I have dog sat for all sizes of dogs and even ones with special needs (blind and deaf). I love and care for them all! I get off early in the afternoon most days so can spend time playing with or walking your dogs, whatever is preferred or expected to be done! We have a fenced in dog park that I can take any dog to, there are no breed restrictions and I have a second bedroom if the dogs prefers their own space (can have a queen bed to themselves).

“Kate was absolutely wonderful! My cat Frannie adored her and we felt so comfortable going out of town knowing that Kate was there to drop in on Frannie. I highly recommend Kate and can't wait to have her take care of Frannie again!”
“Shortly before leaving on a week long trip, we found out that one of our kitties had terminal lymphoma - devastating news, and I knew I was going to be super worried about her while we were gone. Enter Maelee, who did an *amazing* job taking care of her while we were gone: she gave meds, ensured that she was eating well enough, and kept us informed with detailed reports, pictures, and videos. Our kitty even gained some weight while we were gone, which she desperately needed! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that she was being well taken care of. I highly recommend Maelee and would definitely use her services again!”

“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 :)”

While I was gone, he sent cute pictures and kept me updated. Thank you, Brian!”

“Abigail did an excellent job taking care of my two cats over the holidays. She handled the instructions for my elders cat's medicine and particular feeding well. Overall I would trust her in the future to watch them again.”
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!

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!
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.
“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.”
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.
“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!”
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
“Ashley is super friendly and made us feel very safe leaving our puppy in her care. Her huskies are patient play partners and helped our pup start to learn some manners around adult dogs. I wasn’t ever worried she’d push them too far. Ashley was very flexible and we would happily book with her again when the need arises.”
“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!”
“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: Hi, I’m Jacy! I provide reliable, insured dog boarding and daycare. I send regular detailed updates with tons of photos so you can know exactly how your baby is doing while you’re away. I strive to not only give your dog a fun, safe and comfortable place to stay, but also for you to feel comfortable and confident that your pet is being taken care of and having a good time while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, including puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. I treat every dog like family and strive to make their stay feel like a home away from home. For boarding and daycare, dogs must: • Be up to date on vaccinations — proof will be required before bookings are confirmed (Rabies, DHPP, Leptospirosis and Bordetella) • Be friendly with other dogs and cats • Be potty trained (or training if puppy) • Be comfortable being left alone for up to 2.5 hours (if needed) Flexible scheduling available—message me anytime. I’d love to meet you and your pup! AVAILABILITY: I work early mornings, allowing me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I'm available Tuesday–Saturday after 8:30am and fully available Sundays and Mondays. I require drop offs to be before 7pm to ensure all dogs in my care have time to get comfortable together and have a chance to burn energy before bedtime. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding, exercise, and any special care needs, with safety always as my top priority. All dogs are fed in separate areas to avoid any food aggression and I keep dogs calm for 20-30 minutes after meals to avoid any possibility of bloat.
“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!”

“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!”
“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 ?”
About: Having been surrounded by animals for the majority of my youth, I was gifted with a passion for creatures of all kinds. Early on, I was tasked with petsitting for family members. I have now started pet sitting for family friends, colleagues, and others. I am looking to expand my reach, looking for more opportunities to give my time to this passion. I am a college student studying Biology at GRCC. I have weekends and Fridays off. When I am not at school, my schedule is pretty flexible. After class, I have quite a bit of time, perfect for dog walks, check ins, or anything your pet may need! When house sitting, I do not mind staying over on weekdays. I will still have school, most classes being 3 hours long, with the exception of my Tuesday class which is 6hrs. If you have questions on when my classes get out, what my schedule may look like, or any thing else, please feel free to reach out! Safety and communication is number one for me. I have always made sure to keep a good connection with any pet owners I may be sitting/walking for. I have a good understanding on how an animal may react in stressful situations and how to de-escalate a situation. A pet’s safety and health is incredibly important to understand when working with animals.
“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!”
About: I have been caring for and loving dogs and cats for my whole life but have been doing pet sitting for the past 6 years! No longer having one of my own, I have a very open schedule and love to spend my time keeping your fur babies company! My favorite past times include walking and curling up with a good book and would love the opportunity to include your sweet pets! I do remote work right now so I have a lot of free time to spend with your fur babies! I am available for home stays or drop-ins of any length, and love to fill my time with sweet animals of all types and personalities! I am a very active person and love long walks but also love to curl up and cuddle with your fur babies on the couch with a good book. I can fit in wherever and however your pet will be most comfortable. I am capable of crating animals and also love to cuddle up with them, I am punctual and communicative and want to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible!

About: I love dogs and have been around them for my whole life. I particularly love small breeds and grew up in a house full of yorkies. We often had litters of puppies and I learned from a very young age how to handle, care for, and train dogs from birth. As an adult, I've had two male shih tzus from early puppyhood into adulthood, and they've joined me on many adventures. My first had his share of health issues, so I'm experienced with administering eye drops, ear drops, oral medications, and post surgical care. He suffered from cataracts and glaucoma in his senior years which eventually resulted in the loss of his vision, so I'm also experienced with the unique challenges of blind pets. I will love on your dogs like my own when they are in my care! I'm currently taking a career break and have an incredibly flexible schedule. I'm available during the week from Monday - Friday, for drop-ins. Keeping your pet safe and well cared for while you are away is my top priority. I will happily provide text and photo updates to put you at ease!
“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.”
“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!”
“Emma went above and beyond when walking our puppy! You can tell she truly cares for your fur-child and does a wonderful job. She communicates well and even took the time to come meet him before his walk! Will definitely rebook and know that our Taco will love to see her again :)”

“David was great! He treated my dog like he was family. I had absolute faith that my dog was right at home and all his needs were being met. I knew that I could leave my dog, with high needs and a big personality, in his care and he’d be in great hands. He sent updates & photos as well. Highly recommend!!”
“Leslie is so patient and kind! It sounded like my dog was a little more rowdy than usual (suspecting due to new medication she was placed on) and Leslie appropriately reached out to check if I had tips or tricks to make her feel more comfortable. She reassured me many times to not worry, which was nice to hear she had the situation under control! Would definitely trust Leslie again to watch my dog!”
“Averi took great care of my Remy boy! She is a kind and thoughtful sitter and very easy to communicate with. She sent pictures during Remy’s stay at her home and assured me he was happy and well taken care of. Prior to Remy’s overnight stay, we met up for a meet and greet. Averi listened to my explanations of Remy’s needs and had no issues understanding and managing his anxiety and reactivity. She made me feel at ease. We will definitely be reaching out again!”
