Personalized care for your dog or cat - Athalia
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Athalia
“Madison is wonderful. It was easy to communicate with her. She was quick to respond to any questions I had. I felt totally comfortable leaving Speck with her. She sent photos and videos regularly. He had had a really fun time. I would highly recommend and plan to hire her again.”
“Summer took great care of Lemmy! We got regular photos, she did a great job with his meds, and she was very patient with us in our first time using Rover. Summer, her family, and her own pets were great to our temperamental little chihuahua. Can’t thank her enough!”
“Laura was an excellent care provider of our dog, Happy! Happy got sick the day after we left town… He developed pancreatitis…The vet thought from the cicadas he had eaten the days before. Laura checked with us and took him to the ER (vet) because she saw blood in his diarrhea. They kept him for two days for IVs, meds, etc. when he started eating, she was able to take him home and took excellent care of him as though he was her own dog. She cooked chicken, and rice to help him start eating again. Her dog, ‘BOO’ watched over Happy also. She kept us informed with videos and texts every day. When we got back home, Happy was clearly feeling well at Laura‘s home and happy being with BOO. Laura keeps a sharp eye on the dogs. We definitely recommend her!!!”
“Wonderful! This was our first experience w/ this app and Sandra was just amazing! We found this app last minute before our trip out of town and Sandra got back to us, scheduled a meet and greet and accepted our two fur babies for the weekend. We always had to do day trips or have a family member watch them for a night so we were a little nervous to drop them off, but wow- she kept in constant communication, sent pictures, and made sure they were safe. Our dogs loved her dogs as well! Pretty sure they didn't even know we were gone haha. Will for sure contact her again for our next trip out of town!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Jane! She is wonderful!! She sent me pictures of my doggie Charlie every day while we were on vacation (at my request). She updated me on how she was doing and how she was adjusting. We were away from her for a week. This was very difficult as my Charlie has only ever stayed with a family member. Jane has a nice big fenced-in yard for Charlie to run and play in. I feel like she treated my doggie like her own by loving on her, playing with her, and even let Charlie sleep in her bed as we do at home. I’m so thankful for Jane!! We will definitely be using her again!! I wish I could give her 10 stars!!”
“Stephanie was *great* with my Casey dog. She sent pics, throughout the stay. She also helped me learn that Casey isn't always great around other dogs, so I will have to update that in her bio, sadly. I super highly recommend Stephanie for all your doggy boarding needs. My pup looked so content in the pics she sent me <3”
“Christina K. was splendid! My fur baby was treated with care and I was updated during the stay at the perfect frequency. If you are ever in need of the perfect boarder, Christina is the perfect choice.”
About: As a lifelong dog owner, caring for pups is second nature to me. I know exactly how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication, frequent updates, and plenty of personalized attention. From daily walks and interactive playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to match your dog's specific personality and energy level. I look forward to treating your beloved pet like a member of my own family. I currently stay at Home so I am available any time of the day. This allows me to easily accommodate custom feeding, walking, and medication schedules. I have a small yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My yard is not fenced, so I always take guests on guided walks and trips to the local park for secure, energetic exercise. My pet is a miniature poodle who loves to play and cuddle. For bedtime, guests can sleep comfortably right in my bedroom or use a dedicated spare room depending on their routine.
“Bianca is my go to to watch my pup. Bianca and her family spoil my dog and give her love all the time. They have been a blessing as a resource. She will provide excellent care to your dog or cat!!”
“Josie took this booking REALLY last minute (like 6 am day of) after we got delayed flying home. She stopped in before she went to work and made sure everyone had food and was okay. Her flexibility to fit this into her schedule was wonderful and helped us out so much. We love her taking care of our cats and the cats love her even more!”

About: I offer over 13 years of hands-on experience within the performance horse industry and have been formally employed as a dedicated horse caretaker and groom since 2019. As an Equine Science major with a background working as a veterinary receptionist, I bring an advanced understanding of equine wellness, handling, and behavioral needs. Whether managing daily stable routines, monitoring herd health, or ensuring top-tier care for performance horses, I provide highly dependable, professional, and knowledgeable oversight for your animals. I have had personal experience with multiple dog breeds, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, and fish. I’m currently working a part-time job that is 5 minutes from my house, so I’ll be close to my home at all times and have flexibility with my schedule. I have home with land ranging at 9 acres that is in the county and away from other people. I also have a 3 year old female Aussiedoodle who is great with children & other dogs/animals, and is also updated on vaccines.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have hands-on experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re out of town, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be home in the evenings and on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent pet care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet needs. Because my time outside of school is flexible and dependable, I can give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I provide loving, hands-on care tailored to each pet’s needs. At home, I have two cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with balancing playtime, exercise, and daily routines. I make sure my pets get plenty of attention and enrichment through play, and I walk my dog multiple times a day to keep him happy and healthy. I bring the same level of care, patience, and dedication to every pet I look after, treating them as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have four large dogs – three of my own and one foster. I also volunteer with local animal rescues and spend many Fridays at the Dog Pound, giving all the animals love, walks, vaccinations, and sometimes even a trip to my home (I’m always joking that I’m one dog away from a divorce – but he knew what he was getting into!) Joining the Rover community lets me share my passion for caring with other pet owners. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’m here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ll make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and keep you updated with plenty of pictures to give you peace of mind! I’m currently staying home with my babies so I will have plenty of time to love yours! Don’t be afraid to ask about my schedule! I have a full fenced in yard. Two of my dogs are inside. One roams freely during the day with a doggy door to the outside fenced in yard. One is kenneled during the day. Both are kenneled at night. One is outside full time (unless it’s freezing cold and I have to force him inside). I also have one large kennel outside where my foster dog stays most of the time. All dogs are up to date on vaccines and receive monthly flea tick and heart guard meds. As for your home, I’m up for a meet and greet depending on what you need!
“Our dogs Harley and Matey really enjoyed being with Patti and Toby. They played. , ran in the fenced yard, and slept in her bed. She is a wonderful person to have on the rover team. Will definitely be using her again when in the area. Thanks again Patti.”
“Josie was a great sitter for Jersey. She is a caring provider, and for sure it shows by the way her fur babies look at her so lovingly. She was very attentive and reaponsive. I would absolutely use her services again!”

About: I have experience with both cats and dogs as I have both. I had a wonderful dog named Tessa. I miss her so much. She was a rescue and an amazing dog. Albany is a manx cat and was adopted at the age of 3. She is 6 now. She loved to play and can be ornery! I love fur babies and would love to help take care of your fur babies. I hope with providing this service I can give you piece of mind that your cat or dog is being taken care of. With adopting a rescue, I also had to work with some behavioral issues my dog had and feel that gave me a better understanding of her needs. In February 2024, I welcomed a miniature poodle in my home named Benny. I hope to speak with you soon! I do my best to keep my schedule updated. I do work two jobs, one being at home. I can best help in the evening and weekend. I ensure to spend quality time with your pet when providing a drop in service. I ensure to follow all instructions on feeding and water.

“Laura was an excellent care provider of our dog, Happy! Happy got sick the day after we left town… He developed pancreatitis…The vet thought from the cicadas he had eaten the days before. Laura checked with us and took him to the ER (vet) because she saw blood in his diarrhea. They kept him for two days for IVs, meds, etc. when he started eating, she was able to take him home and took excellent care of him as though he was her own dog. She cooked chicken, and rice to help him start eating again. Her dog, ‘BOO’ watched over Happy also. She kept us informed with videos and texts every day. When we got back home, Happy was clearly feeling well at Laura‘s home and happy being with BOO. Laura keeps a sharp eye on the dogs. We definitely recommend her!!!”
“Wonderful! This was our first experience w/ this app and Sandra was just amazing! We found this app last minute before our trip out of town and Sandra got back to us, scheduled a meet and greet and accepted our two fur babies for the weekend. We always had to do day trips or have a family member watch them for a night so we were a little nervous to drop them off, but wow- she kept in constant communication, sent pictures, and made sure they were safe. Our dogs loved her dogs as well! Pretty sure they didn't even know we were gone haha. Will for sure contact her again for our next trip out of town!”
“Stephanie was *great* with my Casey dog. She sent pics, throughout the stay. She also helped me learn that Casey isn't always great around other dogs, so I will have to update that in her bio, sadly. I super highly recommend Stephanie for all your doggy boarding needs. My pup looked so content in the pics she sent me <3”
About: As a lifelong dog owner, caring for pups is second nature to me. I know exactly how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet, which is why I prioritize clear communication, frequent updates, and plenty of personalized attention. From daily walks and interactive playtime to cozy cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to match your dog's specific personality and energy level. I look forward to treating your beloved pet like a member of my own family. I currently stay at Home so I am available any time of the day. This allows me to easily accommodate custom feeding, walking, and medication schedules. I have a small yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My yard is not fenced, so I always take guests on guided walks and trips to the local park for secure, energetic exercise. My pet is a miniature poodle who loves to play and cuddle. For bedtime, guests can sleep comfortably right in my bedroom or use a dedicated spare room depending on their routine.
“Bianca is my go to to watch my pup. Bianca and her family spoil my dog and give her love all the time. They have been a blessing as a resource. She will provide excellent care to your dog or cat!!”
“Josie took this booking REALLY last minute (like 6 am day of) after we got delayed flying home. She stopped in before she went to work and made sure everyone had food and was okay. Her flexibility to fit this into her schedule was wonderful and helped us out so much. We love her taking care of our cats and the cats love her even more!”
About: I’ve taken care of Dogs, cats, ferrets, fish, chickens and reptiles!! I love caring for animals and would love to care for yours when needed!! I’m currently working from home and can work from anywhere. I can adjust my schedule for when I’m needed to accommodate you and your fur babies! I sit with your fur babies, love them and treat them as if they are my own! I love all breeds and type of animals I’ve been taking care of my babies and other peoples babies for over 20 years now. I love all sizes and breeds and will love yours too! I care for your babies just like they are my own. They will get snuggles when they want them and very well taken care of.
About: My whole entire life I have had a dog & cat that were/are very well cared for. I have tons of experience making sure your animals will be well taken care of! I have a golden retriever named Harlow, she is kind and loving and loves other animals. I am a full time college student. I normally am done with my days around 3:30 pm. I am available on weekends. I have a job at a hospital and my schedule varies due to making my own schedule. I live in apartmet in Ashland, KY.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have hands-on experience with daily feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ pets while they’re out of town, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their happiness and well-being. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to be home in the evenings and on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive and consistent pet care. I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special routines your pet needs. Because my time outside of school is flexible and dependable, I can give your pet the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. I provide loving, hands-on care tailored to each pet’s needs. At home, I have two cats and a dog, so I’m very familiar with balancing playtime, exercise, and daily routines. I make sure my pets get plenty of attention and enrichment through play, and I walk my dog multiple times a day to keep him happy and healthy. I bring the same level of care, patience, and dedication to every pet I look after, treating them as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and currently have four large dogs – three of my own and one foster. I also volunteer with local animal rescues and spend many Fridays at the Dog Pound, giving all the animals love, walks, vaccinations, and sometimes even a trip to my home (I’m always joking that I’m one dog away from a divorce – but he knew what he was getting into!) Joining the Rover community lets me share my passion for caring with other pet owners. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members, and I’m here to provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ll make sure they’re happy, well cared for, and keep you updated with plenty of pictures to give you peace of mind! I’m currently staying home with my babies so I will have plenty of time to love yours! Don’t be afraid to ask about my schedule! I have a full fenced in yard. Two of my dogs are inside. One roams freely during the day with a doggy door to the outside fenced in yard. One is kenneled during the day. Both are kenneled at night. One is outside full time (unless it’s freezing cold and I have to force him inside). I also have one large kennel outside where my foster dog stays most of the time. All dogs are up to date on vaccines and receive monthly flea tick and heart guard meds. As for your home, I’m up for a meet and greet depending on what you need!
“Josie was a great sitter for Jersey. She is a caring provider, and for sure it shows by the way her fur babies look at her so lovingly. She was very attentive and reaponsive. I would absolutely use her services again!”
“She kept us updated on Iris all weekend and was super flexible with a last minute reservation. We could tell from the pictures Iris was getting all the love and attention she wanted while with her!”
“Duke was well cared for during his stay with Haley. I appreciated the communication and updates. Duke seemed to feel at home right away and enjoyed playing with her 2 dogs for the weekend. He was wagging his tail and smiling when I showed up to pick him up. I would definitely recommend.”
“Chelsea was great with our dog, Donny! We boarded Donny at Chelsea’s house while we were out of town. Chelsea was quick to respond to texts, very friendly, and professional . She offered to pick up and drop off Donny, which was very helpful. Donny had a great stay and was well cared for and happy. I definitely recommend Chelsea! We will use her services again in the future.”
“We will be back ! Back yard was perfect for my energetic dog ! Area in her home was perfect for our elderly dog . So nice to leave town without a worry ! Thank you Samantha!”
