“Christina and her family took such great care of Oliver during our recent extended family vacation. Christina was an excellent communicator and was very flexible with adjusting Oliver’s care instructions when needed during his stay. We are so grateful that Oliver had a place to stay that gave him the same TLC he receives from us at home.”
“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.”
“Good people here! Trooper had a great time there. Sent pictures daily of my buddy on walks and snoozing. They are very flexible and communicate very well. Would highly recommend for your dog sitting. I will definitely be going back so trooper can see his new friends!”
“This was my first time using Rover and had a great experience. Sarah took wonderful care of our dog for three days in her home. She was so kind and accommodating (and super easy to communicate with!). Her home had a great fenced in yard and from the pictures she sent me while we were away - could tell my dog was very happy and content. Highly recommend, Sarah!”
“Ohara and her family took great care of our baby dog! He was so happy and content all the time in the pictures. We are very thankful for the love and care you gave Levi and would come back again. Thank you!”
“This was our first time leaving Boston and Felix made us feel like he was loved, safe, and loving life! He opened his home and welcomed our very busy puppy with open arms. We got pictures and even a video. Boston had a great experience his first time away from us and we would trust Felix anytime with our fur baby ❤️”
“Ru was amazing with our dog Max. She sent us pictures and opened her home when we had a last minute need. Thank you so much. Without any hesitation we would use her again.”
“Winston loved his stay with Renee. She provided updates throughout out his stay and kept him busy with walks and trips to the park. She clearly has a love of dogs and is great at caring for them. Highly recommend.”
“Pam always takes amazing care of my little guy and I so greatly appreciate that she sends tons of cute updates about the fun he has playing with her own dogs. I always know he is in safe hands.”
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 and I can have dogs at my work. 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.
“Kelly was outstanding and I’m so pleased with how she cared for my fur baby. I would recommend her to anyone, and she will be my first call whenever I need to be out of town.”
“Katherine was great with our pup Sunny. She came home tired and worn out. I got pictures and updates regularly and she was quick to respond. Easy to communicate with about drop off and pick up! Would recommend!”
“Jenna is amazing! She was ultra responsive when it came to booking and she made it super easy. The boys absolutely loved her and had a great time. They came home all tuckered out. We can’t wait to see her again!”
“Dan was awesome to work with, and his dog Penny is a sweetheart that immediately welcomed my young, anxious rescue lab Goose into her home. He made sure Goose felt comfortable in the house, provided him with sufficient exercise, and sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. Highly recommend Dan to anyone in need of a sitter!”
“Lauren was AWESOME! She provided pics and videos which was great since it was our first time with her. My fur baby was well taken care of and spoiled - even more than I spoil her. LOL! I loved my experience with Lauren and will definitely be back.”

“Katherine did a wonderful job looking after our cat while we were out of town ❤️ She sent lots of pictures, communicated regularly and promptly, and even helped us by coming one extra day when our flights got super delayed! She was wonderful and professional all around and we so appreciate her care for our pet while we were gone.”

She was communicative during the booking process and did not hesitate to reach out if she had any further questions. I felt like my cats were well cared for with her!”

“Maelee is a great pet caretaker! Her reports are so thorough and she exceeded expectations. Will book her for all future trips, if she’s available!”
“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 :)”
“Kelly did great with a drop in visit with my dogs. Asha is a senior lab with some health issues and Nala is very anxious but they both seemed happy and relaxed. Kelly sent pictures and updates and I would definitely hire her again.”
“Abigail was great, she responded quickly and was able to take a last minute booking. She sent tons of cute photos during her time with my pup which was much appreciated. Would book again!”
“Colene did a great job watching and hanging out with my cat! She took great pictures both visits, as well as cleaning up after my cat which was not needed but highly appreciated! I would definitely book her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!!”
About: hi! i’ve always had cats in my home since the day i was born! i’ve taken care of old cats and kittens alike and i have 4 cats of my own that i care for now. please reach out I would love to meet your furry baby :)
About: Over the past four years, I have house-sat a multitude of times for all types of animals; birds, dogs, and even cats. I make sure that they get lots of love and playtime when I'm with them and any other requests by the owners. I have administered medicine to pets while I have house sat so there would be no worries while you are away! I have experience with foster dogs as well and volunteer at Animal Rescue Project. I am a college student so I have a very flexible schedule! With my classes, there is plenty of time for me to spend time with your furry friends and give them all the love they deserve while you are gone! When at your home, I'll make sure that your pet(s) gets fed on time, takes long walks, is let out when needed, and gets plenty of time to play. I also love to take pictures to send when you're away because everyone needs to see their fur baby while they are away. As the owner of two dogs, I understand the importance of wanting someone that you can trust to take care of your loved ones and I always make sure I provide the service and time that I would want for my pets.
“Brooke was great! Made herself available last minute to take care of our two cats. Always on time even in the snow. Easy to work with and would definitely recommend.”
“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 did a fantastic job watching my two cats while I was on vacation! She paid close attention to details, asked great questions, and provided daily updates with photos. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which was great to see. I would definitely have Kaitlin watch them again.”
“Jack stayed at our apartment with our 3 cats while we were away. Our cats have a very odd and complicated routine and Jack did a great job keeping up with it! He was very communicative and took great care out of cats.”

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.
“Jenn did a wonderful job caring for our anxious dog Isaac! I appreciate that she did a meet and greet with us at a local dog park before Isaac's stay, it really help put our minds at ease. Isaac liked Jen immediately and seemed happy to arrive back on his second day of daycare. We plan to continue to use Jen in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Miller had a great day with Daniel. This was his first time being away from us and when I picked him up he seemed very calm and happy. Daniel kept me updated during the day with pictures of my happy boy which I really appreciated. Excellent, timely communication as well.”
About: What sets me apart is my 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, as well as cats and bunnies. I don’t just “watch” pets—I truly understand their behaviors, routines, and emotional needs. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime. I’m also prepared to handle extra needs like crate training, light grooming, and senior care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—giving them the attention, patience, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs—as well as cats and bunnies. I provide daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime, and treat every pet like family. 🐾 I offer a secure fenced yard for safe roaming, a heavy-duty crate available upon request, and a variety of pet-safe toys and treats. If your fur baby needs a bath or light grooming, I’m equipped with hygiene supplies, brushes, and combs to keep them clean and comfortable. 🐾
“Chris and Vashti are great! They’re almost always available, even when I need daycare last minute. They share constant updates throughout the day. I get photos and messages showing Cinder Block having the best time, which makes it so much easier to leave him knowing he’s in great hands. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they watch, not just going through the motions. Cinder comes home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for every single time. Couldn’t recommend them more.”
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
“Cub had another fantastic play date with his friend Mabel! I know he’s treated well because he gets super excited when we show up to their house! He’ll be looking forward to the next hangout :)”
About: For the last 10 years, I’ve taken care of my rescue chiweenie through heart failure in all of her senior dog quirks. Since her passing i have so much love to pour into ur pets! I also have experience watching 2 dogs ( max and Thelma) for one month during a work exchange in Hawaii and a dog named goia for a month in Switzerland! Work looked like: 2 hour walk every morning, feeding, brushing, bathing. Etc. I am currently a server and a yoga teacher. My schedule is very flexible and I have a lot of free time in the mornings. I live in a very walkable area with a large apartment also available to pet sit in your home or available for long hikes or walks
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life within my own family as well as being trusted to watch over friends and family pets as well. This includes dogs of all sizes, medical needs, senior care, etc. I am able to be home to give your pet the attention and frequent potty breaks they may need and can provide frequent updates and photos while you’re away. I look forward to connecting! I am currently working from home only part time and would be able to watch over your pet in the home all hours of the day and week. I have a friendly dog at home that gets along great with others. I have a yard and would be able to take your dog out leashed and for walks as it is unfenced at this time. I can definitely crate your dog if needed, let them roam around if that’s what you’re comfortable with, provide medication as needed, etc.
“She said he did wonderful. She took great care in all his needs & wants. Very dependable. Love the pics & communication through the day. Already booked again. Thank you”
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.

“Always just the best communication and such great care shown! I completely forgot to complete the booking but she still came and made sure my sweet girl was taken care of until I could respond and take care of my whoops. Thank you!!!!”
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!
“Lauren has been amazing to work with! She met with us before since my dog can be a little shy but he warmed up quickly to her. She was always on time and quick to respond. I’d recommend her to anyone in need of pet walking/sitting etc.”
“First time Rover users, so we did a walk with Lillie to get Odin acclimated before house sitting for a week next week. Lillie handled Odin’s confusion very well and took him around the subdivision and took notes for the upcoming stay.”
“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!”
“Kate has been walking our dog for a couple months now and I don’t know what we would do without her. The dogs love her and we have loved her great communication and flexibility. I would highly recommend her for any walking or sitting needs you may have.”
“My old pup can be anxious and ramped up with care givers so I am delighted that he was calm with Tyler. I will definitely have Tyler take care of my fur babe again knowing I can depend on him and will not be stressed while on vacation.”
“Katie has been absolutely incredible with my dog Ding. I come home from long days at work and can tell that he’s been cared for, stimulated and nurtured. Katie has very communicative and asked question when necessary…it’s truly been so easy trusting her with my favorite friend. We really appreciate you Katie! Thanks :)”
About: I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard. I work 8-5 on weekdays, with Mondays and Fridays being working-from-home days. I can easily incorporate lunch-time and evening visits into my schedule during the week with open availability on weekends. After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions 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 😊”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my entire life. My family has always both cats and dogs in the house. I have a lot of experience with multiple different breeds! Im in school currently, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I have classes during the week, but they range from 2-5 hours so they are not an all-day time constraint. I know how to make a home safe for pets. I‘ve spent my entire life making sure there’s nothing my pets can accidentally harm themselves with, including plants, open doors/windows, temperature, water availability, electric hazards, and more.
“Tayler has been super helpful, was able to accomodate my 11th hour requests to check in on my dog, feed and walk him. My dog appears to have taken to her quite well.”

“Kina watched our 2 corgis, Zelos and Fae while we had a weekend away. She had awesome communication with daily check ins and pictures so we could see how our furkids were doing. Every picture showed 2 very happy and relaxed pups, which made us feel so much better. When I went to pick them up they seemed so content and comfortable, which is a surprise as Zelos has separation anxiety in his senior years. It also helped that Kina has owned corgis in the past so she understood their little quirks. We will absolutely use her again! Zelos and Fae give 2 paws up as well and can't wait to visit again!”
“Molly was wonderful and took great care of my spunky toy aussie! My dog got along great with Molly’s dog, and my dog doesn’t always get along well with bigger dogs. Molly sent pictures and made me feel at ease while I was away. She also took my dog on plenty of walks, so my pup was tuckered out when she got home. Highly recommend Molly’s services!”
“Kijah did a great job taking care of Rocky! She was communicative, caring and sent regular photo updates to let us know he was doing well. It was nice to know he was in good hands!”
“Dan and his gf were fantastic with our dog. Sent us pictures throughout the weekend. Both of our dogs got along very well. Will use him again and recommend for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“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!!”
“Fiona, our mini doxie felt right at home with Jillian and family! She received lots of love and attention and cuddles. We had complete peace of mind while we were away that she had the best of care, especially knowing our dog can be prone to anxiety in newer environments and Fiona did great and loved her time with this sweet family! We plan and hope to book again.”
