About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always had a huge love for animals! I’ve dog sat for several different families and love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing outside, or just giving them lots of love and attention! I also had the opportunity to foster a blind and deaf dog, which taught me a lot about patient responsibility and caring for dogs with unique needs, I live a healthy, active lifestyle and genuinely enjoy. Making sure every dog feels happy comfortable and loved while their owners are away! I am a college student at the University of Georgia and have a very relaxed class schedule! I am home most of the time throughout the days and weekends. I treat every pet and home like it’s my own! Making sure to pay close attention to every detail and treating every animal and home with love and care!

“Samantha was AMAZING for our dogs. We have a puppy and we’re very nervous about leaving him, and our Boston needs his own emotional support human so it was not ideal to leave him either…. They were both so well taken care of and we appreciate the love she gave our boys while they stayed with her!”

About: Hello! I am a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a vibrant, pet filled home with 3 dogs and 16 cats. Having so many furry family members from a young age taught me exactly what it takes to keep animals happy, healthy, and safe. Today, my world still revolves around pets, including my own sweet dog, Tequila, who is my full-time sidekick! Because I am with my dog Tequila all day long, your pet will benefit from constant supervision, structure, and companionship. I have years of experience pet sitting for family and friends handling everything from quick dog walks to extended overnight home boarding. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat every guest with the same love, patience, and attention that I give to my own. I work from home and my job is flexible. My home has a large yard, large enough for lots of running and playing. I also, have a car in case of emergencies or for longer walks at the park. Taking your dog out on different walks or as many walks as they want to go on throughout the day should not be a breeze. There will be lots of safe exploring and running around outdoors depending on your dog’s energy level. I have a few indoors and outdoor toys for playing.

“Maria and Carlos are exactly who you want to care for your dog. My Chorkie CoCo was lavished with constant attention, and pictures and videos were sent to show that she was having a wonderful time. They were very patient with her picky eating and walking her on a leash. They will always be my choice for caring for my CoCo!!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. My background includes EDD K9 handling, obedience training, working bird hunting dogs, and caring for high-energy working breeds that require structure and exercise. I live on 14.9 acres in Madison County, Georgia, providing dogs with a safe, spacious environment to play, explore, and relax. I understand canine behavior, body language, and the importance of maintaining routines that help dogs feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs active playtime, supervised socialization, or a calm place to stay, I provide dependable, attentive care as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, not a side job. My daily routine is built around the dogs in my care, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and supervision throughout the day. Living on 14.9 acres in Madison County, I provide a safe, spacious environment where dogs can enjoy structured outdoor time and plenty of individual attention. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm, relaxed atmosphere, I tailor their care to their specific needs. My goal is to give owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are being cared for by someone whose primary focus is their safety, comfort, and happiness. Dogs enjoy a structured daily schedule that includes supervised outdoor exercise, potty breaks, feeding according to their owner’s instructions, enrichment activities, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. Each dog has access to a clean, secure run for rest and quiet time, while also receiving multiple opportunities throughout the day for exercise and socialization when appropriate. Because we accept only a limited number of dogs, we can closely monitor behavior, appetite, activity levels, and overall well-being. This personalized approach helps reduce stress, creates a calmer environment, and allows us to provide the level of care and attention that dogs deserve while their families are away. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and structured home-away-from-home experience where every dog is treated like a valued guest rather than just another boarding reservation.

About: With over 13 years of experience, I provide a safe, adaptive, and nurturing environment for pets of all ages and energy levels. For senior, shy, and low-energy pets, I offer gentle, slower-paced routines. For puppies and high-energy pets, I provide the engagement and play they need to stay happy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take pride in adapting to their specific needs. Whether they need long nature walks, cuddles, or simply some alone time, they will receive exactly that. To ensure your complete peace of mind while away, I will also provide frequent photo and video updates! As a university student with in-person classes only twice a week, I have a highly flexible schedule. I'm available almost any day of the week for boarding and dog/cat sitting. While my weekly schedule changes based on my studies and schoolwork, any pet care can be placed between them all. If there is a day or time you need me to be available that is not on my availability, I am always happy to negotiate! In my home, I adapt the pets' schedule to the way my home is. I have plenty of roaming space inside, but also outside for pets (leashed) that enjoy being outside and exploring. If your dog is crate-trained and needs to be in theirs, I can easily crate them. I also have 4 friendly cats that can keep your pet company, but if your pet does not like other animals, I also have the layout to keep them safely separated. In my client's home, I simply follow the schedule and rules they have for their pets. If you still feel unsure or your pet needs specific accommodation, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I would like your pet to experience only the highest quality stay/care!

About: I have hands on experience caring for dogs of different ages and needs, including senior dogs who require extra patience and attention. I’ve done multiple day pet sitting where I followed a set schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m very attentive to routines and understand how important consistency is for pets. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. I also provide updates and pictures so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to make sure they receive consistent attention, feeding, and bathroom breaks. I’m flexible and able to do morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure I’m fully present during each visit so your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully for feeding, walks, and any special care needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also keeping their environment clean and safe. For pets that need extra patience, like seniors, I take my time and make sure they feel calm and secure.

“This is the first time we've boarded our 8 year old lab since he was a puppy. Our son has always come to stay with him so to say we were apprehensive is a bit of an understatement. However, from our first visit to Mary Kate's property, we loved her and so did Augie. His tail was up from the moment we got out of the car. He roamed around the property and then she took us inside. Both Augie and we were very comfortable. She messaged us with pictures while we were away and he was happy but not frantic when we returned. We went out of town 2 days after we left him the first time and when we took him back over, he walked right in with no problem. I am completely happy with Mary Kate and would recommend her with no hesitation.”

About: Hi! My name is Valentina, and I’ve been dog sitting for several years now, caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each dog's unique personality and needs. I know that leaving your pet in someone else's care can be stressful, which is why communication is one of my top priorities. I'll provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and informed while you're away. My goal is to make your dog's time with me as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I do my best to maintain their normal routine, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, or any special instructions you provide. I treat every dog as if they were my own, with plenty of attention, patience, and care. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter pace, I'll make sure they have a safe, loving companion while their family is away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work full-time during the week, but I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to keep their routine as normal as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any other specific needs to help your pet feel comfortable and secure while you're away. I believe consistency is important, so I make every effort to maintain the routines your pet is already familiar with. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and affection based on their personality and energy level.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in GA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
