1. Linda W.

“Another great weekend away with no worries having Linda watch our Ollie. He has so much fun and the next day he will look around for her wondering where she went 😊 She sends pictures which we love seeing. She is such a blessing to us and to Ollie!”


2. Shafika Danielle R.

“Shafika is absolutely amazing! I am always a little nervous when I use Rover but she really put me at ease. She communicated with pictures, videos and updates several times per day. She even got my little couch potato or a dog to do things I can never do, like physical exercise lol. Will be using for my next trip.”


3. Joann H.


“She is absolutely the best!!! She has taken care of our babies multiple times and always has been willing to help and give the best care of our 3 dogs.”


4. Elicia F.

“I booked Elicia for house sitting, she was very nice and as far as I can tell did a great job taking care of my animals and house while we were gone! My only critique is that I wish I would’ve received some pictures over the weekend, but I know she did fine with the pups and my cat☺️”


5. Heather S.

“I literally can’t say enough about Heather. I had to go to CA for a doctor’s appt and had to be gone for a week and right before I left, my dog became really sick and needed IV for 3 days. Heather didn’t hesitate. She went above and beyond and took Maggie to the vet to make sure she got exactly the care that she needed. I wouldn’t have left my dog period, but I had that much faith in Heather and the doctor’s appt was beyond a need for me.”


6. Taylor S.

“Taylor was awesome from the get go! She accommodated our requests for dates by rearranging her schedule so she could care for our dogs. She checked in daily morning and nightly to put our minds at ease that our dogs were ok. We would highly recommend Taylor’s services!”


7. Rebekah B.
“Rebekah took care of our two cats while we vacationed for 2 weeks. She did an excellent job, going above and beyond expectations. Severe storms the day after we left frightened our Bella and Oliver. Rebekah stayed late into the night to make sure they were ok after the storm passed. We were contacted when Bella (who is very shy) hid causing Rebekah concern when she could not locate Bella immediately. She also texted a video of Oliver sitting on her lap, purring loudly while being petted. We are disappointed that Rebekah moved out of state for college since she is no longer available to pet sit for us. She is a kind gentle dependable young woman who blessed us with her care of our much loved “furry children”.”


8. John S.
“I can not say enough good things about John's care for my dogs! He's very attentive and makes sure they are always comfortable and having a great time.”


9. Christian S.

“She loved our animals well and went above and beyond all week!”

About: I’ve always loved helping take care of animals! I have dogs of my own and I help my family and friends with their animals as well! I have mostly helped with dogs but I have helped take care of a few cats as well for my friends! Anywhere from staying with them, walking them, or just spending time with them! I will be sure to love your fur babies like I do my own! So I currently work full time at the hospital on night shift! My schedule is always different so it will make it harder to stay nights! But I can easily fit in walking, letting them out, feeding them, and loving on them! If your dogs were to stay with me I do have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs to keep them company and play with! I could crate them if needed as I do crate my own dogs when I am not home! Me and my cousin so let our dogs sleep in the beds with us and we do let them on the furniture! We also have multiple toys that they can play with as well!


11. Tisa N.

“Tisa was punctual and that gave us a great sense of relief since we have had some bad experiences with sitters not arriving in a timely matter. She cared for our pups and made sure their needs were met. Thankful for her help!”


12. Cayla R.
About: I have had pets my whole life. When I was growing up, my parents had 2 cats and 3 chihuahuas. As an adult, I’ve had 4 dogs and 2 cats at once. So I am no stranger to rambunctious households. I currently still have 2 dogs and 2 cats. We lost 1 dog to cancer last year ant 5 years old and another this year to an immune disease at 12 years old. All of my babies were strays or adopted from the humane society. My biggest is a 100 pound pitbull and I got two as puppies so I’m also no stranger to large dogs and puppies. I love mine more than anything and that is how your pets will be treated. I am available for walks, runs, pick-ups, potty breaks, drop-ins, overnight care in either my home or yours. I have a traditional full time job in Thomasville so I’m not available from 7:30-5:30 (unless you’re in the Thomasville area, then I’m available for lunchtime walks!) I know how difficult it can be to find reliable and trustworthy care, but I am happy to help whenever I can. I am incredibly flexible to your needs! Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns I can ease. I am available for walks, runs, pick-ups, potty breaks, drop-ins, overnight care in either my home or yours.

We love walks though so I can walk and exercise your dogs as much as they want too!


13. Lauren H.
“Having a pet sitter come to your home to care for your pets can help alleviate some unnecessary stressors. Our dog Lucy does not like being boarded at all, so we have had to rely on pet sitters when she can’t travel with us on certain trips. Lucy has always been comfortable with Brady K. as her pet sitter. Brady K. provides Lucy the love and attention Lucy requires, and I would recommend using Brady K. for your pets too.”


14. Elizabeth M.

“Elizabeth did a great job watching our dog while we were away. She took great care of the house and we will plan to have her back next time we go out of town.”

16. Harley B.
“Harley is a wonderful pet sitter. She bonded very quickly with our wild pup Zelda. She is very dependable, knowledgeable and patient. Her rates are very reasonable. I would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a pet sitter.”


17. Keenan P.
“I’ve known Keenan for over 6 years and have seen him interact with my friend’s and family’s dogs. He definitely enjoys playing and caring for dogs! Keenan is also trustworthy, polite, and responsible. He would be my first choice for pet sitting!”


18. Madison H.
“Madison is a very attentive and lover pet care taker. She will make your pet feel at home and like they are apart of the family. Your dog will go on fun adventures and pictures will be sent regularly. You won’t regret it!”
