“Mel is an amazing dog sitter!! My puppies came back super happy and excited to see her again. Plenty of updates and pictures/videos!! Cannot wait to book with her again ??”
“We were gone for 12 nights, Kail and Brenda sent me daily updates on Riley's condition, temperament and overall well being along with lots of photos! NOTHING beats knowing your fur baby is in a loving, happy home with people who really seem to care about your pet as if they were their own! Riley being a senior dog needed a little extra patience which Kail and his wife, Brenda gave him along with lots of love and attention!! The next time I'm planning a trip, you guessed it, Kail will be the only person I will call to take care of Riley again!!”

Went above and beyond to help him feel welcome, happy, and loved 😊 The backyard was an advantage as well and a very safe space! Very grateful for all the pictures and updates she would send even if it was just something simple, made us feel connected with Loki while away ❤️ He had an amazing time with Jenn and Millie! Loki definitely loved his stay and we will for sure be messaging for future stays!”
“Kim was an absolute blessing! We typically travel with our dog, but from time to time we need a pet sitter. Seeing as our dog is like our kid, we are very picky about who we leave our dog with. We felt very comfortable leaving Banjo with Kim. He and her dog, Bailey, got along and when we picked him up, I could tell he had a great visit. We definitely plan on re-booking with Kim.”
“Thank you, Mary! We really enjoyed meeting you and I know that Holly was very happy with her vacation spot at your house. Holly loves people, other dogs and the fenced in yard! I knew right away when I met you, Mary that this was a good match for my puppy who had never been away from home without us. We will be looking forward to your help again in the near future. Thank you again.”

“Tamika was awesome!!! She kept us updated with pictures of Cece playing and enjoying her stay… she was flexible with our drop off and pick up times..she made our stay in GA so much more relaxing not having to worry about Cece being happy and loved ? thank you Tamika !!!!”
“My dog milo usually tries to dart out the door whenever I leave him at a sitter due to his separation anxiety. Not, Valerie! Somehow she must have cast a magic spell to calm milos anxiety. Whatever she does works! And milo absolutely loves her. Like others have said she goes above and beyond to which I absolutely concur 💯”
“Samantha really cares about dogs. She sent a lot of pictures, was always in contact keeping me posted. My dog was a little anxious due to the new place and she knew how to handle, he even had some potty accidents and she took care of that right away, letting me know every little detail about my dog. I will really recommend her!”
“I have never left my dog with someone I did not know, so I was apprehensive, however Rachelle put my heart at ease after chatting with her and learning how she really truly has a heart for dogs and taking care of them. She sent me updates daily and was always quick to respond if I communicated with her. She even checked on my dog after we picked him back up! I will definitely use her again!”
“Absolutely the best we have had watch our pet. She was very thorough in her assessment and kept us in constant communication on how they were doing while we were gone. Will definitely use again.”

“Terry is an amazing sitter! Lucious and I are blessed to have had her as a sitter. She took Lucious in as her own and practically made him part of her family. She kept to his feeding schedule, took him out for walks, gave him treats and socialized him with her pets, which he very much needed. She also shared pictures of him each day. Lucious enjoyed himself with Terry and was very relaxed in her home. I will definitely continue to use Terry each and every time I need a someone to keep Lucious.”

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve also always had dogs growing up. I’ve worked with dogs for years, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve also provided pet-sitting services in dogs’ own homes, giving them the comfort of staying in their familiar environment while their owners are away. In addition, I have extensive dog-walking experience and understand the importance of keeping every walk safe, enjoyable, and suited to each dog’s individual pace and personality. What sets me apart is my combination of professional daycare experience, in-home pet sitting, and dog walking. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love getting to know each dog in my care. I treat every pup like my own and strive to give both pets and their owners peace of mind. 🐾❤️ Pet care is something I’m doing part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My significant other travels for work, and I’m fortunate enough to be able to travel with him, so I’m able to adjust my availability depending on our travel schedule. I’m looking forward to using my flexible schedule to provide reliable, loving care for dogs and giving them the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. 🐾 I understand that staying in a familiar environment can help pets feel more relaxed, especially when their owners are away. I make sure doors, gates, and other areas are secure, follow their normal feeding, walking, and medication routines, and keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. I also respect their home and leave everything clean and just as I found it.
“We couldn’t be happier with choosing Sarah to watch our 6 week old kitten, Hela. My husband and I were blown away with her care and attention to our kitten. She provided lots of updates throughout the day to ease the anxiety around leaving our kitten alone for the first time. Hela took to her immediately, you can tell Sarah is a HUGE animal lover and animals love her back. Sarah did overnight stays and we were surprised to find the house cleaner than when we left it. Can’t recommend her enough!!”

“I can't say enough nice things about Hannah, she is absolutely amazing! She watched my two elderly cats for two weeks, and did a fantastic job. I absolutely hate leaving them and typically worry the whole time I'm away, but after the meet and greet I knew they would be well cared for and safe. They both liked her immediately which is extremely rare for one of them. That same cat doesn't do well with being left, she's always extremely clingy and lethargic when we return home. This was the very first time, (and she's 13 years old) she seemed happy and unconcerned by our absence! It really showed how comfortable and secure she felt. Hannah is kind, professional, and quick to respond. I'd hire her again in a second!”

“Cassie was excellent for such a last minute request. She’s very friendly, personable, and love what she does. Cassie thank you so much and whenever we’re in Augusta again we will definitely be in touch.”
“Geraldine was awesome! She sent me daily photos of our Nike while we were away! She was also so flexible and accommodating and we know our dog had an amazing time with Geraldine!

“Terry humbly reassured us she had a lot of Rover experience when we dropped off our 4 year and almost 1 year old pups for doggy day care. Being new to Rover, this was our first time booking, and it was important being from out of town that everything go smoothly, and with our soldier graduating at Fort Gordon that day. Terry exceeded our expectations, our pups got to rest and play with friends, and we got a lot of amazing pictures. Great socialization and loving caregiving!!”
“We drove down from Ohio for a graduation in GA and needed to find someone to care for our 1.5 year old golden doodle. We’ve never left her with anyone before and were a bit nervous, especially before 12 hours from home. We were so happy with Mary and Felix and the care they gave her. We appreciated the pictures of our sweet girl that they sent to us as well. We have another graduation next year and will be reaching back out to them again for sure when we are back in the state.”
“My little guy enjoyed his time with Kim. We were visiting the area for an afternoon/ early evening visit with family and just needed a couple hours of sitter time … and Kim was very accommodating. She made our visit worry fear. Bryce returned to us and didn’t skip a beat.”
About: I have had dogs most my life. As an adult, I have had 3 pit bulls and a cane corso. Between them, I am very familiar with medical needs, puppies, and elderly dogs. Before children, my husband and I fostered bully breeds. Currently, I have been dog sitting on Rover for over a year. I understand the struggle with finding quality dog sitters that meet your pets needs. I hope I can provide you comfort in knowing your dog will be treated like family when in my care. I am currently available for drop in visits and daily walks. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 boys. Our backyard is about an half an acre that is completely fenced in. I am comfortable with dogs roaming the house and being crated. I have an XL crate in the home that is available to keep your pet safe. There is also a mudroom that can be used for dogs to have their own space if needed. We are an active family that enjoys being outdoors. I am a SAHM with flexibility in my schedule to accommodate dogs routine. I enjoy taking daily walks. We have a fenced in backyard to allow to the dogs to run around and play. With my 2 personal dogs, there is always someone willing to play.
“Heather was fantastic! I get so nervous leaving Bandito with people and she sent me lots of pictures and videos to help put my mind and ease and show me how he was settling in. I will definitely be taking Bandito back. Thank you for taking such great care of my baby!”
“Mrs. Chelly and Mr. Joe are an absolute pleasure to be with! I can already tell that they are going to provide continuous top level care for my puppy while she’s with them. Absolutely going to be taking her back. Thank you Mrs. Chelly and Mr. Joe! I’ll be seeing y’all again very soon!”
“Brandi did a great job with Rocky. It was his first time with a sitter and I was very apprehensive about how well he would settle in. He ate, pottied, played, napped and had a good time. Brandi communicated throughout the day and really made me feel more comfortable that she was taking good care of him. I would not hesitate to book with her again. Thank you Brandi.”

I've been an animal lover since childhood. My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian but I decided on taking a different path and served in The Military for 20 years. I’ve had the unique experience of breeding Boxers for a few years. As a breeder I have cared for newborn puppies, deworming, administering shots, and potty training them until eventually finding them forever homes. I will walk, feed, and play with your fur baby and set their minds at ease until you return. I am retired and I’m ready to start a hobby that I will love. Please let me know any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration and I can't wait to meet your furry family member. I am currently unemployed and lots of free time to spend with your fur baby. I like to take walks and would love the extra company. I have a huge fenced in yard. I can crate your fur baby only if it is necessary. There is a separate space fenced in in my backyard if needed.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes very naturally to me. I have years of experience walking dogs in my neighborhood. I’d love the chance to get to know and care for your dogs too! When I was younger I volunteered with the Humane Society and also spent time fostering both dogs and cats whenever I could. Doing that has taught me a lot about caring for animals of all ages, and personalities. Senior dogs especially have my heart. My own dog lived to be 18 years old, so I understand the extra care, patience, and attention older dogs sometimes need. I also have experience caring for blind and hard of hearing dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. No matter if your pet is young and energetic or a sweet senior, I’ll treat them like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while they’re with me! I currently just moved here, I’m available full time everyday to care for your pet at my home! They will get endless love and attention from me I have a fenced yard and two small dogs of my own, one is very playful! If your dog is used to walks I can also take them for walks in my neighborhood.I’ve also pet sat for several families back in my hometown and love caring for dogs. I have a small covered area where my dogs can go potty, helping keep them safe from hawks and coyotes. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. Dogs are treated like family in my home. They’re welcome on the furniture and can sleep on the bed if that’s what they’re used to. Your pup will get lots of love, attention, and care while they’re with me!
“Charles was awesome and took very good care of Tucker. We were in town for a tournament and he was very understanding when our last game ran into double overtime causing us to be 1/2hr late for pick up. It seemed that our pup didn’t travel too well and had a sensitive stomach during his stay, Charles took very good care of Tucker despite his stomach upset. Very grateful he was in good hands!”
“Jessica is great! My dog loves going to play the other dogs while I work l, went to schoool at night or boarding while on vacation leaving the island. My dog is a repeat client and has been since day 1 dog sitting.”

About: I have worked and been around animals since I was born. I use to work for a reserve rehabilitator and animal shop owner. I have worked with many breeds of cats and dogs and understand each one can be uniquely different. What works for one may not always work for another. I’m retired navy so I have all day to work with your animals. I can do drop ins throughout the day to check on them to let them out or take on a walk. Pretty flexible schedule. In my home I have a 5 year old husky who has been raised around cats and puppies. He is good at helping correct puppies. He has had one litter of his own pups. I do not have a fenced yard, but can take them on leash in the yard and live in a nice neighborhood to walk your animal. If you want crate training I have a couple already here at the house

About: I’ve always been drawn to dogs since I was a little girl. I am unable to walk down the street and not ask to pet any dog I see. While new to using rover, I am not new to caring for dogs. I dog sit for all my friends and give them all the love, attention, walks, and treats that they deserve. I would be honored to be considered to watch your dog or even just to come by and go for a walk or have a play date! I have a small dog of my own, Marley, and she gets along with other dogs (and cats!) very well. I am currently unemployed and looking to go back to school so I have all the free time in the world. I can watch your dog overnight in my home. I can come by throughout the day for walks and pets. Literally anything you need I’m the person for the job! I have a partially fenced yard and a 7 year old sweet female terrier named Marley. I will be outside every time your dog goes potty to ensure there’s no escape escapades. I’d prefer a crate trained dog in the event I have to leave the house, but would never be gone for more than 4 hours. Pups of any kind are welcome on my furniture and bed! I think your dog would feel right at home and Marley would love some company!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats ranging from young to old, big and small, various personalities, energy levels and administrating medications. This includes rover, work, family and friends, and volunteering at a few vets/adoption organizations. I’m even great with non furry animals. I’ve had/have reptiles and mantises as pets. So I think it’s safe to say I’m a jack of all trades when it comes to taking care of your babies! Also, if you know your pet isn’t super friendly towards other cats or dogs, it’s okay! I’m currently a college student via online courses and a kennel tech with a flexible schedule. Therefore I let the owners choose the times they need or want. I love my fur babies so much. I stay on top of their health, daily exercise at the park, nightly walks and treats! I do the same for any pet because they deserve it!

About: I’ve always loved pets and growing up my parents never allowed me to get any so when I was able to move out i immediately went and got me a little puppy (lab) from a shelter that I’ve been volunteering at and every since then Mia have been the light of my life!. My friends always rely on me to dog sit for them or just to come over and let them out for a potty break. I’m currently work full time at Allstate M-F and I recently graduated from university of South Carolina Aiken. Because I’m full time throughout the week and off every weekend, I wanted to make money doing something I love and that’s when I came across rover. I am free every weekend to dog sit/dog walks/ few drops in per day if that’s something you need while away or gone for a long period of time during the day I currently only have 1 dog and her name is Mia! She’s the sweetest/ friendliest puppy ever! She will make your fur baby feel right at home with her smile and energy.
“My dog Kobe is a high energy breed who needs his speed walks everyday. When I am sick or away, I needed to find someone who can give him the high energy walks he needs and I found that perfect person in Darya! I have used her three times already and already booked her for three more. Kobe comes home happy, excited and tired all in one. Darya has exceeded my expectations!”
About: I have raised several puppies successfully and have helped a family member with caring for large litters of Great Danes. We have had senior dogs that have required medication administration, including insulin. I also volunteer at the heart Humane Society in Georgia taken care of the cats and the dogs that are waiting to be placed into a forever home. I currently work par-time so I have plenty of time for pet care. I do have other family in my home that can care for my pets if I am needed for over nights. I love caring for pets it makes me feel rewarded when pets respond positively with me. I have 2 dogs in my home both weigh approx. 50 pounds. Our yard is fenced in so they go in and out. I take them on walks and hikes to nearby waterfalls. They are fed twice a day, just dry food once and with shredded chicken the second time. I also bath them and trim their nails and brush their teeth. I would be happy to assist where I can with your pets routines.
About: I love all animals and even have a dog of my own name zora. I've worked in grooming shops and even ran one for about 10 days straight which included boarding (with cat's and dog's), doggy day, care and even washing dogs. It was one of the best jobs I've ever had because I got to play with dogs and help them learn tricks and made sure they had food and fresh water and clean kennels and if meds given on time. I walked them and and played with them too and I felt better knowing there in good care as I know there is a lot of bad care. I would love to take care of your pup's and cat's while your away or on vacation and even walk them or drop in's too. I've done a lot of training with my pup and grew up with animals as my mom runs a grooming shop and so did my aunt plus the grooming shop I worked at that I grew up around called Sam and boos. I also worked there until I had to go back to school in another county. I would truly love to help! I am home everyday and have plenty of time to spend on caring for all the babies I have 2 of my own Zora and Zelda standard poodles that I love to spend time with and take for walk! Your babies are my full focus! My pets have the best life I could provide for them they are my main priority I own fish hermit crabs and 2 dogs! I would give your pets the same care I give mine! My animals always have fresh water there meals on time or how ever there feeding schedules are! I make sure they are comfortable happy and healthy and safe! I do crate my dogs when I leave for short periods so I know they are safe!
About: Hey there! I'm your friendly neighborhood dog walker! With years of experience under my belt, I'm all about giving your pup the adventure they deserve. Rain or shine, I'll make sure they have a tail-wagging good time while you're away. Let's make fetch happen! I’m currently a Stay at home parent to my 6yo and 2yo. Left the full time work scene to be more present in my family’s day to day life. I’m available during weekday and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and a silly furry boy to keep yours company. But also willing to adjust to preferences if you want your pet to stay separate! I am able to crate if needed, large crate and medium crate for medium and small dogs. Also door (“baby”) gates if crating is not preferred.
About: I am the known pet sitter within my friends and family from puppies, kittens, and senior animals. I treat all of them like my own children. I am currently in the position of not working as I am an electrician apprentice. My schedule is very open during the week. I also am a student so Tuesday and Thursday nights I have class from 6:30 to 8:30 In my own home, I have a 5 month old kitten and my roommate has a 6yr old blue heeler. My kitten is free range in the house, we have gates to put up so the dog doesn’t get into his food or his litter box. The dog is crated only sometimes every now and then. I will be doing sitting at the owners home since I live in an apartment. I can do doggy days out so they aren’t stuck inside take them on little adventures such as walks and small little hikes

“Mel is an amazing dog sitter!! My puppies came back super happy and excited to see her again. Plenty of updates and pictures/videos!! Cannot wait to book with her again ??”
“We were gone for 12 nights, Kail and Brenda sent me daily updates on Riley's condition, temperament and overall well being along with lots of photos! NOTHING beats knowing your fur baby is in a loving, happy home with people who really seem to care about your pet as if they were their own! Riley being a senior dog needed a little extra patience which Kail and his wife, Brenda gave him along with lots of love and attention!! The next time I'm planning a trip, you guessed it, Kail will be the only person I will call to take care of Riley again!!”
“Steve is wonderful! He boarded and cared for our little Havanese while we were on vacation. Steve is welcoming, responsive, and has a genuinely kind heart for dogs. Yuki was loved, calm, and happy when we picked her up. We would highly recommend Steve and will definitely be a repeat client!”
“Jessie is the most amazing sitter she is so attentive to your pet. She pays close attention to his eating and bathroom. She does everything possible to comfort him and pet him. Her care is beyond and above any I have ever heard about. She even made him treats and special food. Amazing!”
“My dog milo usually tries to dart out the door whenever I leave him at a sitter due to his separation anxiety. Not, Valerie! Somehow she must have cast a magic spell to calm milos anxiety. Whatever she does works! And milo absolutely loves her. Like others have said she goes above and beyond to which I absolutely concur 💯”
“Samantha really cares about dogs. She sent a lot of pictures, was always in contact keeping me posted. My dog was a little anxious due to the new place and she knew how to handle, he even had some potty accidents and she took care of that right away, letting me know every little detail about my dog. I will really recommend her!”
“I have never left my dog with someone I did not know, so I was apprehensive, however Rachelle put my heart at ease after chatting with her and learning how she really truly has a heart for dogs and taking care of them. She sent me updates daily and was always quick to respond if I communicated with her. She even checked on my dog after we picked him back up! I will definitely use her again!”
“Absolutely the best we have had watch our pet. She was very thorough in her assessment and kept us in constant communication on how they were doing while we were gone. Will definitely use again.”
“We had a great experience! Daisy was well taken care of, Whittney was great communicating while we were away, and our fur baby was excited to stay! Thank you again and we can’t wait to bring her back.”
“Joshua was awesome! He sent daily updates and you could tell our dogs loved being there. The location was super convenient, couldn’t ask for a better place to board our dogs. Would 100% use again.”
“Terry is an amazing sitter! Lucious and I are blessed to have had her as a sitter. She took Lucious in as her own and practically made him part of her family. She kept to his feeding schedule, took him out for walks, gave him treats and socialized him with her pets, which he very much needed. She also shared pictures of him each day. Lucious enjoyed himself with Terry and was very relaxed in her home. I will definitely continue to use Terry each and every time I need a someone to keep Lucious.”
“Rachel and Logan and the absolute best! Our golden retriever Hank loves going to play and stay with them and they pups when we are out of town. He always has a blast and we can rest assured knowing that he is in great hands. Rachel sends pictures and videos each day (as many as you want) to let us know what he’s up to. I especially love that she is home with the dogs during the day and Hank gets so much time to play. He plays all day with her two labs (who are so sweet and fun to play with). If you are considering a pet sitter these are the best people for the job!”
“Emilee has cared for my husky and kitten multiple times, and I’ll book with her next time I go out of town. She’s a great communicator, takes great care of my pets, and they always come home happy and healthy!”

A HUGE THANK YOU 😊 Would definitely use her services again. 😀”
“It was my first time using Rover and I loved it! She is attentive and understanding. You can tell she loves the animals that she takes care of. With it being my first time away from my dog, especially with Maxi being under the care of a stranger, I was worried and have been missing her even more. Genesis gave me updates and sent me pictures of Maxi, which calmed my nerves. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“Sam and Cole have been absolutely amazing! Can’t forget about their sweet pup Remi as well. All the photos that they sent my dog had the biggest smile on his face 😊 i appreciate them treating my dog as if he was one of theirs. I will without a doubt rebook with them in the future!”
