Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ravenwood
“Highly recommend! My dog stayed with Merrell at her home for 4 days. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. 10/10, I will definitely book my dog with her again!”
“Hans had a wonderful time with Debby. This was his first experience. Debby was fabulous with easing him in to his surroundings. She sent updates with photos. It was clear he wasn’t missing us!— Nonstop play and made new fur friends. Debby’s focus on making sure her clients are always comfortable with their surroundings so as to ease any stress to none. She wants all to go home tired and happy from the experience rather than stressed and antsy. I highly recommend Debby to take care of your pup. We will be returning when another opportunity arises. Thank you Debby!!”
“Christina took fabulous care of our little kitty. We were a bit apprehensive leaving her for the first time, but Blakely received personal care and adjusted quickly to her new situation. Christina was good about giving us updates via photos, videos, and messages. We would definitely bring our kitty to Christina again next time we go away. I highly recommend Christina!”
“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”
“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
“Adia was very loving and accommodating for our nervous pup. We also really appreciated her willingness to work with us when plans changed during the trip. Will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Becky was fantastic with our puppy, jack, and was very responsive to messages throughout his stay. He had a great time snuggling and playing with the other pups. We’ll definitely use Becky again.”
About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first!

I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible!

“Lexie was very communicative about how Molly was doing which gave me great peace of mind. I know without a doubt that Molly was well loved during her stay. Unfortunately, Molly tried to dig out of the fence and so her outside time was limited for her safety. I’m hopeful that Molly’s digging behavior will begin to lessen as she becomes more comfortable in her forever home, and I’m hopeful she can stay again in the future. Thank you, Lexie!”
“We were immediately comfortable with the care and attention our Hazel received during her stay with Qais! He kept us updated with photos and videos to let us know how she was settling in and how she continued to do during her entire stay. We will definitely be reaching out to him again, and we are so thankful to have a new sitter to take care of her for us!”

About: Hello. I have extensive experience with a variety of animals. As a child I rescued stray cats, dogs, and different wildlife. I've had cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, domesticated rats...literally everything. I currently have 4 rescued ducks, 2 rescued turtles, turkeys and 4 baby tortoises (inside). I have a fenced in yard and numerous references. I do have 4 small kids. I work from home. If a pet is skittish around children, I keep them in my room so there is calmness. I also have a completely seperate room that can be used if they prefer even less human contact. ***PLEASE send a collar and leash when boarding a dog I work from home so your pup would have constant attention as they'd be hanging out with me. I do have a fenced in backyard (it has my outdoor animals it in). If the pup isnt good around farm animal, potty breaks can be on a leash in my front yard I have a fenced in backyard. I am okay with a dog that sleeps in a cage overnight...or not. There's definitely flexibility there if the dog isnt destructive. I will ensure the pup is comfortable and entertained.
“Eileen was a very pleasant lady and great with Daisy. We felt very comfortable leaving Daisy with her, who had a good time with her dog. The fenced backyard was great for Daisy to roam around. I would recommend Eileen to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter.”

We found Michelle in Savannah, and she was wonderful!! So sweet and loving to our 10year old poodle bichon, and he seemed to be comfortable with her and her place right away. If you're looking for the perfect dog sitter, look no further, Michelle is your gal.”

“From Day 1, Orlena has been a pleasure to book with. My pup is always excited to go to her house. Orlena provides great feedback, and she shares wonderful pictures at the conclusion of each visit.”
“She is such a wonderful person! We had great communication, and she always kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She sent me pictures and videos every day, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend her! 🫶”
“Lexie was great with communication. Huck had a great day with the other dogs! I appreciated that she rinsed him off before I picked him up too. He had fun in the run and got a bit dirty. :). Loved the horses, goats and chickens. Will use again- only drawback is location isn’t very close to my home.”
“Michael & wife (Tracy, I think) were such a pleasant surprise considering I booked last minute. So accommodating and super sweet people. Amazing with dogs, as my baby is very skiddish and slow to warm but adopted easily in their home. The second day my dog came right up to Michael, excited and tail wagging. It was a huge relief. I booked last minute after a little crisis and was so thankful to have such good people take care of my dogs. There a little out of my way but I trust them 100% with my dog. Thank you again!”
“Caroline is an exceptional dog sitter. Her communication is stellar and she loves and treats the dogs in her care like her own. We had such a peace of mind while our dog was in her care. She is a true doggie mama.”

I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and giving lots of attention to pets. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own!

Outside of school and my social life, I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your pet the care, attention, and love they deserve! I live in a pet-free apartment, so I’m unable to have pets stay overnight at my home. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home and can follow any safety instructions or routines you provide.

About: I grew up with indoor pets and learned how to care for my little doggies and bunny rabbit as a child. Over the past several years, I have been trusted by friends, neighbors and family to care for, walk, play with, feed and clean after up their pets. I will be attending dog grooming school in the fall, but my schedule is very flexible. The dog grooming school I attend is predominantly online, therefore allowing flexibility in pet care scheduling. I am available weekdays and weekends and am happy to try and modify my schedule to meet your needs. I try to follow the family’s requests regarding their pet’s routines and needs.

My own dog requires a little extra care, which has given me experience with pets who have special needs. I regularly manage multiple medications, help with mobility by carrying my dog up and down stairs, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe throughout the day. Because of this, I understand that some pets need a little more patience, attention, or assistance than others. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves going for walks, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your pet needs extra help with their daily routine, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve.

I’m patient with pets and understand that some take a little longer to warm up to new people. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and of course, lots of love! I also know Pet CPR, so I’m prepared to stay calm and know what to do if an emergency ever comes up. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to have in my own home. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can know your pet is doing well and getting lots of love!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was little. I’m currently a registered nurse. I love when the therapy animals come by, probably more than the patients do! I am mostly available on weekends and some days during the week! I am an RN so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m off on weekends and holidays! On days that I do work, I’m off usually around 5pm. I am able to spend as much time needed on drop-in days as your pet needs. I will not rush them to eat or go outside.
About: After breeding for 12 years, I want to continue my love of pets with working. I have worked with multiple breeds and have trained in the past. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time on my hands to give your babies the extra care and love they need while you’re gone. Although we don’t have a fenced yard, our backyard is large and we will do multiple walks a day, to make sure your pup is happy and gets all the exercise they need.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life, and grew up caring for both dogs and cats. I currently have a 5 month Doberman puppy and I am comfortable with daily routines, training, and exercise needs. As a former Air Force member and a parent of two, I bring reliability, responsibility, and attentiveness to every pet I care for. I’m committed to providing safe, consistent, and compassionate care so your pets feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I currently provide pet care on a full-time basis as I’ve recently returned to the U.S. after separating from the Air Force and welcoming my second child. My schedule allows me to offer reliable, attentive care with clear communication. I have a friendly, loving Doberman puppy with plenty of energy who enjoys having a playmate. I also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play, along with cameras to ensure pets are always within view. Inside, there are plenty of dog toys available to keep your pup engaged, active, and happy throughout their stay.
About: I love, love, LOVE animals and will lavish TLC on your fur babies! I started taking care of my neighborhood dogs and cats when I was 10-years-old in Greenville, SC. It's stressful for pets to be boarded while their owners are away, so I try to make sure that they feel loved and secure when I take care of them. I give lots of belly scratches and am known by my doggie work neighbors as the Treat Lady. I take my pet-sitting responsibilities seriously and make your pet my priority when you entrust them in my care. I want to you to go away with a light heart, knowing that your dog or cat is in my loving hands and that I'll spoil them rotten...
“This was my first experience using Rover, as our normal dog walker was unavailable this week. I was very pleased! Grace’s communication was excellent. She always responded very quickly. She gave a detailed summary of her visit and many photos! I could tell my pup was well cared for on her walks. My 17 year old cat also got some love too! I highly recommend Grace! I hope to use her again!”

“Highly recommend! My dog stayed with Merrell at her home for 4 days. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. 10/10, I will definitely book my dog with her again!”
“Hans had a wonderful time with Debby. This was his first experience. Debby was fabulous with easing him in to his surroundings. She sent updates with photos. It was clear he wasn’t missing us!— Nonstop play and made new fur friends. Debby’s focus on making sure her clients are always comfortable with their surroundings so as to ease any stress to none. She wants all to go home tired and happy from the experience rather than stressed and antsy. I highly recommend Debby to take care of your pup. We will be returning when another opportunity arises. Thank you Debby!!”
“We needed a sitter for our dog for a few hours while attending a graduation and we did not know anyone in the area. We found Aiko on Rover and everything worked out perfectly! Our dog can be nervous about going with someone new but she very quickly decided that Aiko would be a good friend. Aiko shared some pictures to let us know all was good and we were able to enjoy the graduation”
About: I’ve been around all types/sizes of dogs! I truly love taking care of animals and always prioritize their safety, care, and needs first! I provide a stress free, calm, environment with low noise and a great fenced in backyard to play in! I have taken care of many of my friends/neighbors pets and also grew up with two dogs of my own so I know all the responsibility it takes! I have also volunteered at my local animal shelter for the past few years where I had to pass a test specifically on caring for dogs and reading their body language! I’m currently in school and working part-time, but in my free time I’d love to spend time caring for your pets! My schedule is also flexible enough that I can do weekly visits as I am very reliable and dependable. I’m dedicated to making your dog(s) feel as comfortable as possible! I’ll always keep them on a leash and be super mindful of my surroundings, double-checking to make sure all doors are closed and their harnesses are securely fastened. I also send daily picture updates and rover cards to keep you in the loop about how much your pet is loved and well cared for!
“They were great! They were flexible when I ran a little late at drop off and a little early at pickup. Daisy had lots of outdoor play time and I appreciated the multiple pictures and video they sent me.”
“Very caring and attentive couple with the cutest mini Goldendoodle who will be the ultimate playmate for your pup. It was my first time leaving my dog and it could not have been a smoother experience - with lots of photos and updates to keep my anxieties at bay. I highly recommend Savannah & Chandler!”
“Kathy was great! She took wonderful care of my dog while my partner and I were on vacation overseas. She has several sweet natured dogs and my dog had so much fun playing with them. Kathy also sent daily updates with sweet photos and videos. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a safe place to leave their pet.”
“Susan and her husband were great with our pup while we were gone for over a week. This is the longest we’ve left her and they put us at ease and receiving daily photos was so sweet. Will for sure be using in the future!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with two dogs and have spent years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I love spending my free time outdoors and would be excited to have a furry companion join me! I’m happy to welcome dogs into my apartment and provide a comfortable, safe, and relaxed home away from home. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while they’re staying with me. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel right at home!
“Lexie was very communicative about how Molly was doing which gave me great peace of mind. I know without a doubt that Molly was well loved during her stay. Unfortunately, Molly tried to dig out of the fence and so her outside time was limited for her safety. I’m hopeful that Molly’s digging behavior will begin to lessen as she becomes more comfortable in her forever home, and I’m hopeful she can stay again in the future. Thank you, Lexie!”
“We were immediately comfortable with the care and attention our Hazel received during her stay with Qais! He kept us updated with photos and videos to let us know how she was settling in and how she continued to do during her entire stay. We will definitely be reaching out to him again, and we are so thankful to have a new sitter to take care of her for us!”
“I 100% recommend nontombe ! this was my first time using rover and not gonna lie I was worried, but nontombe was super nice and my boy warmed up to her very quickly ! I got picture/video updates everyday and I couldn’t be more pleased !”
“Eileen was great! Provided video and photo updates the entire time to let me know how Sully was doing which I was very appreciative. Would definitely use her again for any pet sitting!”
About: I have grown up and taken care of dogs all my life! I have always lived with multiple dogs, and have even rescued 2! I love big and small dogs, I have experience with training, walking big dogs (pitbulls, labs, etc.), administering insulin, and dealing with dogs with epilepsy! One of my pups had diabetes, dementia, epilepsy, and anxiety, so I am well prepared for anything of that nature! I often pet sit for neighbors and friends for dogs of all different breeds! I’ve taken care of puppies, to toddlers, to senior dogs! I’m currently a student at USC, and take all my classes in the morning, so I basically have a free schedule after 1pm almost every day of the week! Weekends are more convenient for boarding, but I would still be able to make boarding during the week work as well! I also have gaps in my schedule, so during the week I am able to stop by throughout the morning to take care of your pups! I currently live in an apartment complex, so I do not have a yard for any pups, but I am able to take them outside on walks! We are allowed to have animals here so if need be I could have a dog stay with me, however I do not have any proper supplies for them in my apartment, and would need to be provided with such.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds and personalities. I currently own two Labrador Retrievers, a Golden Retriever, and a Poodle, which has given me valuable experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. In addition, I regularly help my grandmother care for her five Newfoundland dogs, so I’m comfortable handling large breeds and managing multiple dogs at once. I understand the importance of exercise, safety, patience, and positive interactions, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently a full-time college student, and I also work part-time from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. Since I’m home for a good portion of the day, I’m able to give your dogs plenty of attention, take them outside regularly, go on walks, and make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. My schedule allows me to work around each dog’s normal routine, whether that means feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I enjoy being around dogs and would treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want for my own. When caring for pets, I always try to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I’ll follow any instructions the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, and any other special needs. Since I work part-time from home and have a flexible school schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets I’m caring for. Whether I’m watching them in my home or staying at a client’s home, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’ll also keep owners updated so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.
“Michael and Tracy are amazing dog sitters. During the stay, they were very responsive and were sending updates and pictures. My pups were well taken care of, as if they were their own. I will definitely rebook this sitter in the future. Thanks!”
“I am so happy Emma was available last weekend! My dog, Stella, can be really skittish around new people but she warmed up to Emma immediately. Emma spoiled Stella while I was away...walks, visiting the dog park, puppacinnos, etc. I don't think Stella was ready to come home! Very happy with my experience and would absolutely recommend Emma.”
“Assets was a great sitter for our dog Sage. She was super responsive, flexible and great with communicating. Sage definitely enjoyed her stay & we’re so glad she was well taken care of.”
