“Again, couldn’t be happier with the care my sweet baby gets from Joseph and Andrea. They were super accommodating when my plans changed at the last second and I had to move things around. It made my vacation so much less stressful knowing my dog was in good hands.”


“I have left my little pup with Jose and Maria several times over the last year or so. They really treat her as part of their family and she gets so excited when we pull up to their house. Their daily pictures and videos are so reassuring that all is well. I highly recommend them!!”


“Vicky took such good care of Jaz over the 4th of July weekend and kept me updated on how she was doing adjusting and dealing with the fireworks! I also appreciated all the pictures. So sweet, highly recommend.”


“Terri was amazing with our very active pup. She sent daily pictures and updates while we were away he was clean and healthy when we pick him up. They are great and loving people and I highly recommend them!!”


“I know Callie enjoyed her stay with Laura & William as she has been napping most of the day today! She was happy when we picked her up and no signs of anxiety or stress which is a big relief! Out chasing the squirrels & telling them about her stay in the city! Will definitely board her there again! Time to plan another short getaway for us & her!”


“Highly recommend!! When I brought my dog Finn over it was immediately clear Micah was experienced and knowledgeable with dogs from how the intro was handled (both to her sweet dog Koda and the property). Updates with pictures never left me guessing how Finn was doing. Micah went above and beyond taking him out for engaging activities and exercise - will definitely be reaching out again next time I’m out of town!”


“Debbie was great with Ringo! We felt so at ease leaving our little buddy in her home for over a week. It was hard for us to leave him, but we knew he was in good hands and would have other doggie friends to keep him busy. We really loved getting the pictures everyday, so that we could see what he was up to. Thanks Debbie!”

“We were visiting Ashville for a long weekend and decided to go tour the Biltmore and see the king Tut exhibit…two things we could not bring our boy to so at the last minute I looked on Rover and found Milendi! She was so kind, so understanding and nit treated our dog as part of her own family. I would highly recommend Milendi, she is definitely someone you can trust with your precious family member.”



“Kali was wonderful! She has has an obvious natural love for animals & made our dog feel immediately welcome & comfortable. We look forward to using her again in the future.”


“Morgan is my number 1 choice for care for Eve whenever I need it! She takes the best care of my high energy girl with lots of walks, adventures, and playing! I always know she is in the best hands whenever she is with Morgan!”


“Jenn was amazing! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. My dog loved her right away and she sent picture updates along the way. 10/10 would have her watch my dog again :)”


About: I was a proud pit bull mom for 10 years. Sugar was 70ish pounds of cuddly, slightly neurotic sweetness. Since she passed, I’ve been promoted to Dog Aunt for friends’ pups of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s a beefy blockhead or a tiny teddy bear on four legs, I bring belly rubs, structure, and plenty of love. I’m up for extended walks, couch snuggles, ball tosses and sticking to your training plan. Basically, I show up like the fun aunt, with treats, patience, and good shoes. After 15 years in the classroom, I’m stepping away from teaching and giving myself space to explore what’s next. In the meantime, I’ve found that caring for pets offers its own kind of therapy—fresh air, wagging tails, and the joy of connection. Dog walking fits beautifully into this season of my life. I’m available most days (except Mondays and Saturdays) and have a highly flexible schedule. Whether your pup needs a midday stroll or an afternoon adventure, I’m happy to be there. I care for pets in their homes and on walks by following their routines closely, whether it’s feeding, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company in their favorite cozy spot. I bring calm, consistent energy so your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. On walks, I match your dog’s pace and personalits. I'm happy embarking on sniffy strolls or power walks. I’m also happy to take pups on longer “field trip” hikes if they need extra exercise or adventure. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your dog gets my full attention—and all the love they can handle.

“We left our two fairly high maintenance pups with Robin for a long weekend and she was wonderful! Very communicative and sent us lots of updates. She even was super flexible when we needed her to keep them one extra night due to plane delays. Winston is a lovely little guy too ;) Definitely would recommend her for taking care of your fur babies. Thanks Robin!! :)”


“Marie was so wonderful with our Jocko! We needed to pick him up a little later than originally planned and she was super accommodating. We will definitely be booking with her again!”


“We have an older dog with health issues and we were nervous about leaving him for a week. Ryan made us feel very at ease with leaving him and we had no doubt he was in great hands while we were gone. She sent us updates to let us know how he was doing and went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommended!”

“Felix had an absolutely wonderful time with Megan! She gave him so many special activities and attention just for him. We mentioned that he because of his diet he can’t have treats, but he loves ice and they went straight to pick up ice for him, took him to the on walks and to a dog park an even had a special movie night just for Felix! And on top of all that she kept us updated with these wonderful descriptions of what their activities were an absolutely amazing pictures of him 😍 I couldn’t recommend a sitter any better than I can for Megan especially since she was willing to accommodate taking care of Felix at a very last minute request absolutely wonderful lady”


“Jordan and her family were great! We’ll definitely try to use her services next time. Our trip was a last minute scheduling and she was very accommodating with the meet and greet. She was very responsive and graceful with a lot of last minute changes on our end.”



“Indy's stay with Alissa was wonderful. She let the dogs be dogs and was understanding of different "play styles" He loved playing and meeting new friends-- thanks so much Alissa!”


“Tiffany and her husband are incredible. My pup was safe, loved, and happy during his stay with them. I felt so at ease being away knowing that my baby was in such good hands!!”


“Tabitha was amazing! She is very attentive to detail, and communicates extremely well. She went above and beyond to ensure Pongo enjoyed his stay and got plenty of exercise and play time! 10/10 will definitely book Tabitha again next time!”
