“Michelle made being away from home an absolute breeze, I usually leave my cats with friends for the weekend but I just moved and haven’t been able to find anyone I know.

The communication was great and I hope to be able to have her check in on my pets anytime I’m out of town!”

About: My husband and I are both retired and love opening up our home to pets, to give them the home away from home feeling. We also love going to visit pets and have a part in making them happy while their owner is away. No pet should be left alone for long periods of time and we feel they get much more attention in a private home then in a kennel. We do not have a fenced yard but we love taking them out doors with their lease. We have been watching friends dogs since we have been married (8yrs) and I have watched pets for friends over 20 years. We have recently lost our baby who was 15 yrs old and we want to share our love for animals with others, Codi was a diabetic so we are use to giving shots to pets. We do plan on taking vacations ourselves and know how important it is to be able to leave knowing that your pet is being care for and loved. I have been doing Pet sitting for over 20 years look forward to giving your pets a home away from home. We have a big yard and love going out side with the pets we watch so we can be with them at all times . Want to make sure they feel loved and wanted. Being my husband and I are both retired and home during the day we have extra time to give a lot of extra love to your pet Love is a BIG thing in our home and we want to make sure our home is safe and a happy place for your pets. We are retired now and spend most of our time at home and looking for a pet to give our love to . After losing our own baby a few months ago we look forward to caring for others When the pets are taken out side we prefer to go with them and stay outside with them. This also give them time to run and enjoy the outdoors. Being that we both are retired, we are home pretty much all day except for maybe going to grocery store or maybe a doctor appt here and there. We treat each dog like they are ours and want them to feel at home when they are away from their real home, and love spending time with them

“Miss Ronda is the absolute BEST!!! My baby loved her and she loved him back! She kept me updated and made sure I felt safe and secure with her watching him for a weekend stay! Trixie was also a sweetheart!! BOOK MISS RONDA!💕”
About: I've taken care of dogs (of various breeds) since I was in middle school. I have done short-term and long-term care both out of my house or going over to the owner's house. I am a very calm and reassuring person and have worked with both young and elder dogs. I am a recent graduate who is currently applying to post-graduate programs and jobs, so I have great flexibility in my schedule when I am not helping my grandmother with errands or volunteering at Greendale Elementary (on Tuesday and Thursday mornings). I can do any weekday besides Wednesday afternoons. I can do most times on the weekends unless I have a prior engagement planned. I can do Christmas/Winter Break, but I will be away for Thanksgiving this year. I have a fenced-in yard and have plenty of room for housing your pet as there are no other pets in the house currently. The neighborhood is very safe and has walking paths for walking pets. I am also happy to drop in or stay at your home if that is more comfortable for your pet (or you)!
“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.”
“Laura took excellent care of my girl Lucy. She kept me updated throughout the day with comments and pictures. It was obvious Lucy enjoyed herself. I will be sure to ask Laura to care for Lucy or her sister and brother Gretta and Hawk in the future.”

About: Hello! I’ve been a dog sitter for over 12 years now. From assisting with the birth of puppies and kittens, to helping our older babies get out of their bed, and holding their paw while they take their last breaths, I’ve done it all.

I have experience with epileptic, pregnant and in heat, sick, physically disabled, and as I mentioned, new borns and older dogs! I have a very open schedule! I’m free in the mornings, nights, middle of the day, and on weekends. whenever you need me, I’m here! I never let the dogs out without a leash at my house, no matter how experienced they are with the area or how well they listen. Their safety is my biggest priority. Let me know your preferences and guidelines to follow!
“Natalie was great! I brought my dog for daycare multiple days per week for 4 weeks and she was well cared for. Natalie was responsive and very kind. I will book her again if I need doggie daycare again.”
“My dog had a wonderful time Veronica‘s care. She got along so well with her dog and we received regular updates, pictures and videos throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend her.”
“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 came in from out of town and needed someone to watch our dog while we were attending an event. Our dog was happy and Hillary even clipped his nails for us. Thank you!”
About: Growing up, I always had 4 pets at any time, and was in charge of all care for them! 2 dogs and 2 cats, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, litter, and lovings. I currently have 1 cat and 1 pup of my own. My most frequent client has 4 large dogs and 1 bunny, all of which get spoiled under my care. I have experience with the most common pet breeds: dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and hamsters, Guinea pigs. I am entirely caring, responsible, assertive when needed, and prompt. I work full time Monday-Friday in downtown Augusta 8:30am-5:30pm. I’m currently not able to leave during the day for lunch time potty breaks unless it is very close to there. For home boarding and doggie day care, my boyfriend mainly works from home and loves sharing the love ! The app also doesn’t always quote the correct prices for me, so please message me if you have any questions :) For house sitting, I fully stay at your home and take care of your pet, as if I am at my own home. I always take care pets and the home itself. I will always leave a place cleaner than when I arrived! For boarding, we have baby gates to separate animals for their own time, etc, when necessary. Our enclosed bricked in yard is perfect for any dog that wants to fun around and play fetch with our girl Ivey. He husband loves fur babies just as much as I do.
“My dog loves this woman. She did a few drop-in visits for us prior to in-home daycare. We pulled up to her home and, when she saw Chelsey, my timid pup went trotting into Chelsey’s house like she forgot I existed (she was excited to see me at pickup, so no hard feelings lol). Have already booked her again!”
“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!”

About: Hey there my name is Danielle, I have taken care of dogs of all ages ranging from puppies going through their first heat to senior dogs with lack of abilities. Growing up I had all sorts of pets in my home and enjoyed sitting and dog walking in my neighborhood. Also one of my first jobs was at a dog boarding and day care facility. I love all breeds of dogs and cats and just want to keep them happy and healthy and have a fun time. I am available on the weekends and I love the outdoors so any chance to get some sunshine is my favorite. Meeting new people and pets is something I always look forward to. I have a fenced backyard, and my dog is friendly. I do not leave dogs unattended outside because I want to be sure they won't try to escape the yard or dig holes. When in a client's home I am sure to read all instructions given prior to my drop in. I make sure that the their pet is given my full attention during my time there. If I have any questions I am not afraid to ask. I will also send updates and photos if requested.

About: My name is Alexandria, and I’ve had a passion for animals since childhood. I grew up helping on a farm until I was 12 and began working for a dog groomer at 14 which i stopped around 16, gaining valuable experience in animal care. I currently have two German Shepherds and three cats, and I’ve always been the go-to sitter for family and neighbors. Whether it's walking, feeding, or providing special care for senior pets or puppies, I bring love and dedication to every pet I care for. I am currently in college at USCA and I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Whether it's daily walks or playtime, I can easily accommodate any pup or kitty into my routine. My schedule allows me to give them the attention and care they deserve, ensuring peace of mind for you while you’re away. While I don’t have a fenced yard due to Hurricane Helene, I’m happy to walk your pet using your preferred method. If your pet has access to a fenced yard, I’ll keep a watchful eye to ensure they’re happy and safe while they run around. I prioritize their well-being, making sure they get the exercise, play, and attention they need, whether it's on a walk or in the yard.
About: I am a very out-going, animal-lover who has grown up with pets my entire life. I have had animals ranging from lizards, birds, cats, snakes, all the way to chinchillas. I have also trained dogs in the past and take great pride in the training and mannerism of my own 4 fur babies. As I am sure you can see from my photos, my dogs, as well as each and every animal that I walk, dog-sit, or provide any service for, I treat as my own and love them entirely! I will provide the best love and utmost care that is physically possible when watching your furry (or hairless ;)) little (or big) friends. As I do not have any kids myself, I like to call my own dogs my children. I understand the stress of trusting another individual to watch your pet, but I promise to keep them extremely safe, make sure they get tons of potty breaks, and even let them snuggle with me on the couch, bed, in the grass, and throughout my entire home! I am highly trained in animal body language, behavior, and how to also deal with stressed out, aggressive, or disabled animals. I will ALWAYS make myself available to talk with you about your pet, answer any questions you may have, and do anything and everything that I can to ensure your pet is safe with me. I firmly believe that while I am keeping an eye on this member of your family, they are apart of mine for the time being. I currently work in the office Monday-Wednesdays, work from home on Thursdays, and am available 24/7 Friday-Sunday. Having 4 fur babies of my own, pet care fits into my weekly routine as I will be fully invested on the days I am available to provide service for you and your pet. I have a full-time job, but I love animals and want to be around them more. When caring for pets in my own home, I do a safety walk through, ensure I have all proper and required materials for their care, and can even set up a fence divider in my backyard in the instance that the dog or pet I am caring for is preferred to be alone. I do have dogs myself, however, they are all extremely trained and get along well with all animals. I understand that it may be a preference to keep my dogs separate from your furry friend, and that is no problem. With our home being 2 stories and nearly 4,000 square feet, there is plenty of room for your pet to still be comfortable and have the free range that they want. Safety and trust is my #1 priority when caring for your pet, so any accommodations that need to be made, I am on it!

As well as being an avid runner, loving active furry friends to walk, run or hike with! I have open availability. I can be available for overnight care, daily visits, walking as well as care in my home for any family or dog. I have a large fenced in back yard. I also live on a cul de sac in a lovely neighborhood. Allowing for safe walks as well. Caring for animals is what we do! My schedule flexibility can be constructed around your pets and family's needs. I have the space and time for dogs of all personalities! Each pet is different and special in their own right and I discuss individual needs and expectations so families and pets are cared for with the utmost consistency. Pets are family so caring for them is our daily life not a routine. Their comfort and well-being is our top priority. My day is usually based around those needs! In the way that is most comfortable for them and their family. Through great communication and understanding their specific needs. Usually, the dogs and cats are very good communicators!
About: I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and colleagues, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and maintaining consistent routines.

About: I've been around dogs since I was born. I decided to go to school for animals. I have a certification in Veterinary Assistant and currently I’m working on getting a degree in Veterinary Technician. I also work at a kennel and a pet store so my days are just filled with animals and I love it. I currently do work two jobs and go to school for Vet Tech but I will be doing this typically in the morning and early afternoon. I currently live on a farm so all the animals I somewhat take care of all have a large piece of land to run around and be free. We have a fences to make sure they don't run out into the road. I do keep our back porch open incase it gets too hot for them or they want to get out the rain.
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!

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and affection they need. Caring for animals is something I look forward to, and I enjoy creating a safe, loving environment where pets feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away.

I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection.

I have 2 dogs, a schnauzer mix and a labradoodle. They are couch potatoes, so anybody would fit in here. I have worked with dogs basically my whole life and have dog sat for countless friends and families. I am a certified pharmacy technician and am able to care for your senior dog with medical needs. I would be best fit for families who wanted to go on weekend trips and leave their doggos to someone they trust! I can also offer services through the week if need be.

Kenji was happy when I returned, and it was a huge relief to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Charles for anyone needing a dependable and caring dog sitter!”
“Terry and her family were great! Otto (my boy) needed a place to stay while I traveled for work, and I am thankful that I found Terry on Rover. We did a meet a greet the day before boarding was to begin, and things went well. On the morning of Otto's drop off, the area was suffering from the devastating aftermath of Hurrican Helene, which left the entire area without water, power, cell service, etc.; however, Terry continued to communicate with me and ensured that Otto could stay with her family while I traveled, as they had a generator and plenty of water. I dropped Otto off after traveling through what felt like a war zone, to be greeted by a smiling Terry! Otto took onto them like they were part of our pack. Throughout Otto's stay, I received multiple daily updates, and many pictures! Terry was always a great communicator, and ensured I remained up to date on Otto's condition, especially since the post-hurricane environment. I will for sure be using Terry again in the future, and I highly recommend her and her family!”
“Brandi was awesome! I booked at the last minute and she was able to accommodate my fur baby, London. I was at ease while out of town knowing that she was taken care of. Brandi sent pictures and kept me updated. I will book again and again. Thanks”
“Valerie was pawsome with our Belgian Malinois! Meika had a great stay with her. Our flight coming back home was cancelled and we had to get on another flight that didn’t get to Augusta until late night. We were so thankful that she accommodated our very late pickup! Overall, very good experience with her! Will definitely book with her again! Thanks Valerie!!??”
