“So grateful for Nancy (and Lance!) for their care for my little guy. This was my first time leaving him with someone other than family (he’s got his quirks!) and Nancy instantly put me at ease. I actually felt relaxed on vacation for the first time since adopting him! She sent updates throughout and paid attention to detail. Five stars are not enough. Thank you thank you Nancy and Lance !!!”
“Teresa was so kind and energetic. She sent us pictures of Otoro the whole time we were gone - he went to walks and hikes and played and came back tired (in the best way!) I will definitely be booking with Teresa again the next time we are looking for someone to hang out with Otoro!”
“Jenna and family were great with our dogs! This was our second time leaving them and they both were happy and tired coming home after their stay! The children all pitch in to help with dog care and are clearly dog lovers! Will book again!”
“Susie was very informative, responsive and kind. She sent lots of pictures and updates which helped feeling comfortable with a new sitter for my grandpup. Milo was very well taken care of and we already have her booked for upcoming dates. I strongly recommend her to sit, walk or care for your pet.”
About: Experienced dog owner and sitter. Studied dog psychology to become a good dog parent. Had two female spaniels who passed earlier this year. We used to compete in dog frisbee and hunt. Also have experience working in a grooming salon, as well as walking and boarding various size dogs - from labs and German shepherds to Jack Russel terriers and mini Aussies. Additionally at no cost I can provide basic behavioural training and teach new tricks - I love to communicate with dogs of any breed and move in one rhythm with them. And I really feel their needs and able to connect with dogs of all ages. I can board puppies and older dogs, take them for a walk someplace new and play ball or frisbee. But safety and well-being is my main focus and if your dog doesn't want too much activity, I can provide a more mellow experience, too. Available on weekdays and weekends but please make appointments at least 2 days in advance. I would love to meet your furry friend! I'm working remotely from home part-time, so have lots of time to spend with doggies. I'm available both weekends and weekdays and rarely leave home for more than a couple hours, so your dog won't be alone for too long. I have a fenced backyard and deck, and two mellow spaniels to keep your doggo company. I also have a crate where your pet can rest if needed.
“Elizabeth is great! Always responsive and keeps me up to date how my doggie is doing. She was able to help me out of a jam where an incident caused me to run over my time to pick up. She worked with me and made sure everything was okay. I’ll be using her again. Recommended 10/10”
“Yajaira was attentive and flexible taking the job in short notice due to a change of plans in our family. She sent pictures and was very responsive. We are sure our Buddy had a good time with her.”
“Wow simply amazing. Meghan is so kind and took incredible care of my dog Luna. I received multiple updates with photos and it brought me peace of mind since this was my first Rover experience. She took her on several walks and made Luna feel comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Meghan and I’m incredibly thankful she was able to watch Luna on such short notice.”
“Marlene took great care of our boxer while we went away on a family vacation for a week. Excellent communication and lots of daily pictures—which I really appreciated! Our Hazel seemed to be loved and cared for like one of their own! Would definitely book again and highly recommend.”
“Natalia is the absolute best! She is trustworthy and our 3 year old lab, Naya, loves her. We never have to worry when she’s with her. We also love the updates that we receive throughout her stay.”
“Tyler is wonderful. She took care of our dog just as she would her own puppy , and sent photos of Leo throughout his stay. We would definitely ask her to watch Leo again as needed.”
“Qi was great! My dog Ellie had an awesome stay with her! She boarded there for about two weeks, and Qi kept us updated the whole time with pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. She was also super responsive anytime we had questions. When I dropped Ellie off, Qi gave me a quick rundown of what her days would look like, which helped a lot. I also liked that she took a thoughtful approach to introducing Ellie to the other dogs and let me see how they interacted before I left. Overall, really smooth experience and I’d definitely book with Qi again!”
“We had just gotten our puppy so this was the first time boarding her. Jennifer did a great job, starting with the meet-and-greet before the boarding and with daily updates during. Our dog took to Jennifer very quickly which was a relief to us. We will definitely consider using Jennifer and her family again for boarding in the future.”
“Where do I start? From the first contact Anusha has been honest, respectful and so responsible in taking care of my dog. Asked all the right questions and answered them all. Always quickly responded. Gave my dog all the love and attention that I wasn’t able to. Cared for my dog as if it was hers. Gave (almost) hourly updates. HIGHLY recommended!”
“Lauren was great! She was flexible, communicative, and went out of her way to help us out by picking Bodhi up from our house. Will definitely reach out again next time we go out of town!”

My regular sitter had to cancel last minute and I was lucky enough to meet Anastasia. She took excellent care of my dog. She sent the pictures and updates that dog owners love to get when they board their dogs. I feel like Anastasia takes extra special care of the animals she watches.
Teresa was so kind and energetic. She sent us pictures of Otoro the whole time we were gone - he went to walks and hikes and played and came back tired (in the best way!) I will definitely be booking with Teresa again the next time we are looking for someone to hang out with Otoro!
Hannah was great. She took our dog to the beach one or two times a day (his happy place), and was responsive and communicative when our dog swallowed something. I felt like she handled it all well. Also, with a big family, our dog was around people a lot which he loves. Their location is close to the beach in Live Oak, and they also have access to a large fenced in property behind the house.
Ceili took such good care of my dog while I was away and kept me updated with pictures and what they were doing throughout each day. She even took her to the dog park and to get a pup cup. My dog is very anxious, but seemed really comfortable around here. 10/10 would recommend her and use her again!
Michael was an incredible sitter for my 10-year-old dog while I was traveling for 5 days. Michael made me feel comfortable and reassured at drop off by his calm demeanor and safe yard, his friendly dogs and neighborhood. He was very quick to respond to any communication, and watched my dog for an extra 8 hours due to my flight having serious delays. He was gracious and so kind to care for my dog like his own and go above and beyond with my delay. Would definitely request to have my dog stay with Michael again.
Jenna and her family did an excellent job caring for my dog for three days and two nights in their home. This was the first time using Jenna as a sitter and her care exceeded my expectations. My dog is a 1:1 dog and she is extremely anxious in new surroundings and situations. Because of Jenna’s expertise and the family’s love and skills in dog sitting, my dog settled in quickly and adopted her new family easily. I will use Jenna in the future when I need a dog sitter. Jenna’s communication is prompt. She sent me regular text updates and photos which kept me in the know and made me relax knowing that my dog had adjusted and was in capable loving hands. I chose Jenna as a result of reading her reviews. These reviews were on point! I highly recommend Jenna for your dog sitting needs.
Bethiah and her Hubbie are the BEST people. They are active and loving. Our pup does not warm to all humans but at Bethiah’s house she fully sprawls on her back for tummy rubs. She got to go to the beach all the time, got snuggled into her bed and even got some time to chill in the Van life van! I cannot say enough about this family and how much we both trust and appreciate them. Thanks guys!!
