Sheila did a fabulous job with my senior Lab and nervous Goldendoodle. She sent lots of updates, and I could tell my dogs were wonderfully cared for and loved the giant yard.

Peggy was awesome! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!! My cats were stressed with all the changes that were happening (we were moving) and they were safe and well cared for by Peggy in a time they needed a place to be during that transition. She is kind and caring!!

When I opened the car door, on our second booking, my little angel was excited to discover she returned to Deborah’s home. She even scratched at the door when I knocked, and delighted to see Deborah just like family. That gave me great comfort!

Keandra went above and beyond to make sure my dog had a good time. She also was very flexible with pickup/drop off times which was helpful since I had a flight early in the morning. She also gave my dog a free shower and made sure he got plenty of exercise and play time with her dogs. 100% would recommend Keandra

About: I’m an animal science major with plans to pursue veterinary medicine, and caring for animals—especially dogs—is truly what lights me up. During high school, I was the go-to neighborhood dog walker, caring for dogs ranging from large breeds to small pups, which helped grow my confidence and love for working with all kinds of dogs. I also have four years of hands-on experience in a busy dog daycare, where I’ve worked with pups of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic zoomie experts to shy cuddle bugs. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique quirks and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just some extra belly rubs, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to make your pup’s time away from you feel fun, comfortable, and exciting. I currently work at a dog shelter where my shifts are either from 7am-12pm or 4-9pm. I am happy to work around your pups schedule with ahead of time notice! Before, after, and during my break your dog will have plenty of time to potty and play. When I visit a clients home I give all my love and care to them to make sure they feel happy while the owner is gone. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent, safe, and comfortable as possible. I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, including feeding times, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15 years old. I’ve worked everywhere ranging from dog daycare’s to pet stores to even basic dog training places. I even started out on rover and did that for 4 years before moving on but I’m back. Rest assure when your dog is with me, you’ll rest easy knowing that with my skills and qualifications that they’ll have the best time of their lives. Whether it’s senior dogs to puppies or even disabled dogs, I believe all dogs deserve love no matter what! I currently work full-time at a dog daycare place. I am pretty flexible when it comes to scheduling. I would just have to check my schedule ahead of time. When providing care at your home for your dog, I would act like it was my house with the respect and dignity. Your dog will feel comfortable, not only in your own home but with somebody who would treat it like it’s their home.

He has an adorable 15 lbs perfect dog as well that will get along great with any dog or cat. Nice place as well, so you are leaving your furry friend in the best of hands. Thanks Karan. We will use your services again for sure.

Rylee was absolutely amazing with Grizzly and he seemed to be immediately at ease with her. As a truck driver who spends almost every moment with his dog at his side it was so nice to see him instantly become comfortable with Rylee. I will be using her services again and would recommend her to anyone.

Amber is a wonderful pet sitter. Beanie always loves going to her, and I feel completely comfortable leaving Beanie in her care. Amber is my go-to person whenever I need help with pet sitting. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and has been especially helpful when Beanie hasn’t been feeling well. Amber is caring, reliable, and attentive, and I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she provides. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and experienced pet sitter.
