Highly-rated overnight sitters - South
“We can’t thank Isabel and her husband enough for the wonderful care they’ve provided for our dog over the numerous times they’ve watched her. They recently cared for our pup while we were away on our first extended vacation, and they immediately put our minds at ease. The daily photos and updates made it clear that our dog was having a vacation of her own, surrounded by two genuinely caring people who gave her so much love, attention, and affection. Every time we leave her with them, we know she’s in the best hands. It’s such a relief to have found people we trust completely, and we are forever grateful for the exceptional care they provide. We highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and attentive pet care. Five stars all the way!”

“I was so thankful Arden could make time for my last minute request. She was so communicative and tried hard to give river his walks but he wasn’t having it that day. She didn’t give up easily on him and tried again later, she was very kind about everything and I would try using her again when River is in better spirits.”
“Sloane is the BEST!! Her updates are detailed with lots of photos, and as an anxious dog mom, I really appreciate that! Cooper has such a great time with her and always comes home tired from all the fun. 10/10, cannot recommend more!”
“Karissa and Robert took such great care of Sherman for his first week at day care. He enjoyed his time so much and they made his new environment so comforting and easy. Thank you both so much, can’t wait for Sherman to go back to have a great time again this week.”
“Lucy had a wonderful play date with Alex and her pups! Alex is great to communicate with, and it was helpful to do a meet and greet to ensure all the doggies got along (they did). Appreciated the pics and video updates during her stay!”
About: I’m a parent of a ragdoll. Equip of taking medicine, nail clipping, paw trimming and cat washing. I also have a pet dryer set up for her.0 I’m currently working from home full time so I’m very flexible with schedules. I’m very easy going so just communicate and there’s nothing we can’t figure out. I have all wooded floor in the first floor solely for stay over dogs to keep them comfort and stay away from cats if needed, same situation for cats if needed.
“Karisa was responsive and eager to take our last minute booking. We were so appreciative and our puppy Gracie seemed to have enjoyed herself. Will definitely re-book soon!”
“George is great! We use him frequently for daycare, and Bentley always comes home happy and tired at the end of the day. George takes Bentley running and swimming during the day, you name it. He also works with your dog on different commands to help their stay go smoothly. Highly recommend!!”
“Adrian was so great! I needed a last-minute sitter for a couple days and she was able to take care of my boy no problem. I got a lot of updates and pictures on what ghibli was up to, and he got tons of exercise and got along well with her dog. She even accommodated me when I was running a little behind and had to pick Ghibli up a little later than usual. Highly recommended !”
“Archer had a fantastic day with Brittany! She kept me updated on how he was doing, took him to the dog park, sent pics, was very responsive. Would definitely use again.”
“Dawn is a great dog sitter. She took lots of photos, and her dog Rice was a wonderful host too! She took care of Ruby and Toasty for the day in her home as a "trial run" to make sure all 3 dogs were compatible so we will definitely be using her in the future for extended stays. Highly recommend.”
About: Ability to provide needed time and care necessary to make your pet feel at home. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, blind, deaf, sometimes both. Work from home so able to provide all the time and attention needed for the pets care. Only time away from house is for errands. I have a pretty big backyard. Pets are allowed out. The yard is fenced. The house is pretty open and spacious allowing easy movement for any size pet. House is stocked with extra bowls and beds. Treats are by owner approval.
“Re’Anna was so kind and understanding. She was able to accept my last minute booking for doggy day care. Rambo had such a good time. Her kids were really good with him too! Definitely will be booking with her when I’m in the area again!!!”
About: I grew up with labs and retrievers but now live alone with my 2 cats (who are pretty much used to dogs, but still wary of them). I watch peoples dogs and foster with Saving Grace when I can so have experience with a wide range of dogs. I am an engineer but am taking time off from that job. One favorite thing to do with a dog I watch is taking them to my building’s fenced in private dog walk and playing fetch! I have a large dog crate if that is better for sitting/boarding but only if that is part of their normal routine. Pets are allowed on the furniture (also if normal) and since I have pets already, I have extra water around the apartment. Since I’m used to hosting dogs, I’m good at “cat proofing” the apartment and my unit has a good layout to separate the cats and the visiting pet if needed. I choose how to take out any dog based on their personality: dog walk at my apartment building, walks, local dog park, hikes, etc. I also have plenty of dog toys.
“We’re so grateful we found Isabel to care for our Luna! Our dog, who’s usually slow to warm up, felt right at home immediately. The updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind—it’s clear she truly loves and cares for every dog like her own. We’re looking forward to Luna’s first overnight stay and an already booked longer visit with Isabel. Highly recommend!”
“Absolutely amazing caregivers!!! My little angel had a blast with Yamy and Alfonso. They are completely understanding and gentle to my little fur baby. 110% booking again!!”
“Bicky was awesome with my puppy Franklin! He was in great hands and she updated me throughout the day. I would recommend and likely will keep booking with her when I need to use Rover.”

“Rodrigo did a phenomenal job taking care of my dog Cash! He sent great pictures and a lot of them. It was also short notice and he still remained flexible. Couldn't have been more pleased with his services. Thank you for doing such a great job taking care of my old lil man.”
About: I have had my own dogs and cats of every kind since I was in kindergarten! I dog sat and walked multiple dogs of family friends and neighbors throughout high school! In college I lived in a household with both cats and dogs together for 4 years. I currently live with a friendly pup, and care for my significant other's pup as well! I love to play, walk, or run! If your pup needs cuddles, they will sure get some! I am a nurse and my availability is contingent on my nursing schedule. 2-3 days of the week I will usually be unavailable but it’s not the same schedule every week. I have a pretty flexible schedule for services on my days off and can be available at short notice. I can visit, walk, or do overnight care for the animals! I have a decent sized house with currently no animals but a partner who can provide extra loving. There is plenty of outside yard space for pups to run around, and there is a dog park nearby. Walks or runs are available! Whatever your dog (or cat) may need, I'll be there to help!
“Trevor has been incredibly caring and loving to my puppy Leia, hes always been great, communicative and cared for her as well as I do. Would recommend trevor to anyone!”
“Xeque took such good care of my dog. After walking him she even threw the ball around in my backyard, which is his favorite thing to do. He was feeling sick and had an accident, she cleaned up after him even though that is not her job. Thank you so much for the excellent care. I will definitely be booking again.”
“Hannah was amazing with walking our little guy. She made time in her schedule to walk our sweet puppy around when normally not available. We were so appreciative of her doing that and our puppy benefited greatly as well! She has a caring heart for your pets and it shows by her sacrifice for us!”
About: I've taken care of my family pets since I was 10 and continue to care for a beautiful and chatty cat. I strive to care for your pet with just as much love and attention as you would give your fur baby. I'm currently working from home with a lot of flexibility for time away and breaks when needed. I can be available most times during the weekend & have availability weekends as needed. I will treat your pets like they are my own: showering them with love and cuddles. I will be very attentive and ensure that any requirements you ask are followed through. I strive to make sure your pets feel comfortable and safe when you are away.
“Adreanna was absolutely amazing with our dog. She was very attentive and provided a detailed over view of everything that was going on, leaving us without any questions or worry. 12/10.”
“Joan is very patient with my somewhat aggressive dog. She arrived on time everyday and was super sweet with Tiger. She really goes above and beyond to bond with Tiger. I am definitely booking with Joan in the future.”
About: Ive owned 3 dogs of my own, i enjoy walking and playing outdoors so adding a dog makes things 10x better! I have experience overnight sitting and just popping in on my lunch breaks for my neighbors and pastors dogs I work 10-4 monday-thrusday but im open all weekend, before and after work as well. I work 5 minutes down the road from my home so I don't have a long commute leaving more time to see pets! im there to focus on the pets, i ensure to leave a list and updates of everything done and i dont want to invade on your space! i like being told where toys, food, leashes etc can all be found to ensure i create a fun environment for your pet!,
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter to take our girl, Millie, off of our hands for a few hours so we could celebrate our baby shower! I would not hesitate to have her watch Millie again! Thank you Sarah ?”
“I highly recommend Carlita for any of your dogs needs. She is not only the best dog mom to her Snow, but she will treat your dog as her own. My Zoe is small and aging and it’s not easy for me to find someone I trust with her care. With Carlita, I’m glad to have found someone I can leave Zoe with overnight or to come visit her when I’m away. She adheres to all of my Zoe’s special needs (pj’s at night are a must, her food must be warmed, and she has some medications) and ensures her comfort and safety. She plays with her, sends me photos, and makes me aware of any concerns she notices with Zoe in my absence. She is punctual and communicates clearly and timely. Your fur baby is in good hands with her.”
About: I was a dog mom to a precious pitbull for 10 years and since he passed I'm looking to spread that love to other babies in the area. I work full time but my evenings are mostly free. Ideal for working pet parents who need their babies taken care of in the evening and weekends. I respect everyone's wishes and desires for their pet family members. Love, care, and respect are the most important. My motto is to leave a person, being, or space better than I found it.
About: I grew up with dogs but when I was 9 was when I got my first dog. My responsibility. Since then I have had 2 more dogs that I’ve taken care of their whole life. I love dogs. Their my babies! I will always have dogs apart of my life. Their my family! I work from home. Plenty of playtime and potty breaks. I have 2 dogs of my own that have a eating and potty schedule that I go by. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I live 1 minute from my neighborhood dog park. I take my dogs there to play and run off leash
About: Dog and cat lover with a lifetime of experience! EXERCISE: Nearby nature trail and park and a fenced yard at home. I always supervise playtime to make sure everyone is getting along. ATTENTION: I am 100% focused on giving love! I have lots of experience with seniors and special needs dogs and can give medication. I can even bottle-feed small puppies and kittens! ESCAPE-ARTISTS: Rest assured, I have an escape-artist myself so I am extremely careful! Your dog would never be allowed in the fenced yard without supervision. PUT YOUR WORRIES TO REST! I have had dogs my entire life - big and small, old and young, lazy and crazy - I can handle anything! I’ll send pictures the entire stay so you’ll know your baby is in good hands! I currently bartend 3 nights a week and I have a hybrid day job where I am in the office 1 to 2 days a week. I have a fenced yard and a playful dog to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed while away or leave him or her out if they are potty-trained and not destructive.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, personalities, and needs — including anxious dogs, sensitive stomachs, allergies, and high-energy pups. I have two dogs of my own, Buck and Winston, so I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone patient, attentive, and trustworthy. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, walks, playtime, and lots of attention! I work a full time job during the week, but am available for boarding on the weekends! I can be available for house visits and walks during the week after 6pm and full availability on the weekends I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs they may have. I have experience with dogs who have allergies, sensitive stomachs, anxiety, and different temperaments, so I understand the importance of patience and consistency. My home is a quiet, one-person, child-free environment, which can be especially comforting for pets who do better in a calmer setting. In my client’s home, I aim to keep pets on their normal schedule as much as possible with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I also make sure the home stays clean, secure, and respected while you’re away. As a dog owner myself to my two pups, Buck and Winston, I know how important trust and communication are, so I provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind.

“Luis watched my dog for a long weekend in July 2025. His responsiveness, attention to my dog's routine, and warm and welcoming environment were greatly appreciated.

“My family and I were preparing to head out of town for my birthday when we realized, in the middle of all the planning, that we had forgotten to schedule a sitter for Oakley. Like any dog mom would, I immediately went to Rover and was pleasantly surprised to see several sitters available. I reached out to a few profiles, and Rebecca D. responded right away, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Rebecca was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We quickly coordinated a plan for dropping Oakley off, and the process was seamless. When we arrived, Rebecca was already outside waiting for us and gave clear instructions on where to park. She even invited us inside, which we politely declined, but I thought it was such a thoughtful gesture. Prior to our arrival, she also shared information about her dog’s temperament, which I really appreciated. Throughout the weekend, Rebecca kept us updated with photos and videos of Oakley, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. When we picked him up, he was excited to see us, but it was also obvious that he had a wonderful time with her. Oakley came home happy, and we are so thankful for the care Rebecca provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with her!”
