“Taylor did such a great job. It was our first time using Rover and first time having someone do a drop in for our sweet little Murphy. Taylor had great reviews so we booked her, then did a video chat to show her around. She gave us updates and photos and we came home to a very happy puppy. It was so nice to know Murphy didn’t have to go all evening without a walk and potty break. ❤️ I would 100% hire Taylor again!”


“Lindy was extremely communicative, on time and thorough! Our pup was so much happier upon our return from a short weekend away verses his time in a kennel. We are so thankful and will have Lindy drop in again!”


“Allison did a great job checking in on my cat while I was out of town. She was professional, thorough and caring. I will definitely request her help in the future and would recommend her.”


“Sitter was able to provide a last-minute booking which came in very clutch! Very appreciative of their flexibility. Will absolutely book with them again!”


“Michelle did an amazing job keeping me updated throughout the week that I was out of town. I had plenty of pictures and was at ease knowing our kitty was in good hands and didn’t miss a meal!”


“Hannah is absolutely amazing with her drop in visits! I appreciate her flexibility when things change and then her thorough Rover cards after a visit is complete. She could be a professional dog photographer with the photos she captures.”


About: I’ve been caring for my family pets since I was in middle school and have 13 years of experience doing at-home dog boarding. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes from yorkies to Great Danes, and love creating a cozy, safe environment for them while their owners are away. I have also had a lovable, goofy dog of my own for 6 years now, so I understand how important it is to trust your pet is well taken care of. :) I currently work full time, but the hours are flexible. My work is only 10 minutes from home so I’m able to check on the pets and let them out periodically throughout the day! I’m close to an off leash dog park that I take my dog to through out the week! My fiancée also works remote, so he is able to care for pets that need to be taken out more frequently when boarded with me. Whether your pet is coming into my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and happiness. I default to your preferences for feeding schedules, exercise, play time, and any crating preferences. This way your pet feels with their usual routine!

About: As a Cane Corso owner (x2), I’m used to big dogs with big personalities, but I love pups/animals of all shapes and sizes! Whether it’s a high-energy walk or a quick potty break and snuggles, I always treat your pet like my own. I understand how important trust and routine are, and I’ll make sure your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for every visit. I’m a teacher on summer break with open availability for walks and drop-in visits during the day, evenings, and weekends. Once the school year begins, I’ll be available for evening and weekend visits. I’m dependable, communicative, and will always work with you to make sure your pet gets the care they need! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I stay alert to your pet’s behavior and surroundings, and I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding routines, meds, leash preferences, or crate time. I’ll make sure your home stays secure, your pet stays calm, and that you receive updates with every visit. As a fellow dog parent, I understand how important trust is when someone’s caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously.

“We are repeat clients of Sharon because she is wonderful with Haddie! Her detailed updates keep us informed while we’re away and we will continue to use her when she’s available. Thanks so much, Sharon!”


“From start to finish, our dogs loved her. Great communication throughout our time away, pictures, videos, etc. Easy to work with, very adaptable to any changes necessary. We will definitely be calling in her again. Thank you Mari!”


About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and horses for the past twenty years. This includes my own horse along with my two German Shepherds. I will take great care of your pets, and I understand the importance of bringing continuity to their life while you are away. To me, this means that you can trust that the instructions you give me for their care will be followed exactly. I have taken care of all ages of pets and have no trouble administering medications, creams, or doing light grooming. I currently stay at home and am available almost anytime for drop in visits or to walk your pet at times that are most convenient for you. I will love on your pet like they're my own, but I will take care of them exactly how you want/expect. This is something very important to me with my own pets when needing pet care.

“Michael was professional and considerate of all the things our dog needed. He has high integrity and a patient heart. I would recommend him to others.”

About: I have 2 fully energized pups who love to socialize and will be the perfect play pals for your pup! We go on long hikes and play in the yard. I have over 10 years experience handling and caring for animals as well as a military background so your pup is in good hands. It would be my pleasure to care for your fur baby as I understand the peace of mind it is to have someone you trust looking after them while you are away. I truly believe in keeping excitement in any dog’s routine and so I love exploring new parks to play at, trails to hike, beaches to play on, and friends to share it with. Can’t wait to spoil your fur baby! I work close by and provide potty breaks as needed. Weekends and evenings are usually filled with yard play and training for the dogs in addition to exploring nearby trails. I have 2 dogs that are socialized with other animals and a fully fenced yard. They are not left unattended for long durations and my home is very safe and pet friendly.

“Absolutely the best care for our dogs. She even made a second visit to be sure our boys went out after being new to this type of care!!! Cannot say enough good things!!”


About: I’ve been taking care of pets since we got my dog, Fred, roughly 13 years ago. Since the age of 14 I’ve been actively caring for pets whether they are cats and dogs, or fish and rabbits! I’ve looked after both senior pets and sweet babies, as well as pets of all sizes and health types! I’m currently working part time and I’m a recent college graduate so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! My current job is based in the AM so I have the rest of the day to care for your pet! I strictly stick to the schedule and rules provided by the homeowner. I remind myself that I’m staying in someone’s home, not just their house, so remaining respectful to the rules of the home is very important to me.

About: I grew up with several different kinds of animals at home. My first job was at a pet store and I have continued to love caring for animals since then. I've taken care of friends and neighbors pets for several years. I am comfortable with any pet, as long as they have a good temperament. I am a fourth grade teacher, so my schedule is completely open in the summer. During the school year, my availability is mostly limited to weekends. At my home I have a fenced in backyard and two high energy dogs ( a Dutch Shepherd and a Corgi) who would love a buddy to play with. I also have three children, ages 8-15, who like to help take care of our furry friends. At your home you can expect your pet to be cared for just like you were there, whether they need to be walked or just let out and played with while you are away. Dogs must be crate trained for boarding or day care at my home. This allows me to make sure my pets and yours are safe when I leave the house.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to watch over their dogs while they were away. My whole family loves animals, and we currently have 3 dogs: a dachshund, a corgi, and a golden doodle. We take them everywhere with us! For the last decade, I have been working remotely, giving me the flexibility to drop by and attend to your dog. Whether it’s a walk, a quick check in, or some playtime, I’m available! I understand the challenges of balancing work away from home with pet ownership. That’s why a reliable person to keep your dog, engaged throughout the day is invaluable. There’s no greater joy than returning home to a happy and eagerly awaiting furry friend! I have 18 acres and a fenced-in back yard for my dogs. The golden Doodle (Cora Bell) loves everyone, the Dachshund (Dutton) loves to play, and the corgi (Waffles) will run the property until she tuckers out!

“Raylene was willing to help us out quickly! She sent pictures of my pups clearly having a wonderful time and being well taken care of.”



About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Before I became of mom to 3 beautiful children, ages 14, 10 and 8, I worked around dogs for 5 years at a 5 star hotel pet resort in Alexandria, VA. The love I have for animals is indescribable. Having an animal around fills my heart with so much joy! I'm that person who wants to adopt every dog I see because I know I could give it the best home and family to be loved by. We love to go on walks daily!! If throwing toys and playing fetch is your thing we also love doing that! Whether you’re dog wants to relax or play we’ve got a solution for it all! I have a fenced in backyard that is perfect for any dog to relax or to run! We love to be outside when it’s nice and inside when it’s too hot!

Vinson F.
“We have a reactive that we have never been able to have someone walk. Vinson came to our home for a meet with our dog and it was like they had met in another life and were life long buddies. I had never seen such a thing. Vinson came by our home daily to take Ryder for walks and runs. For a German Shepard husky mix it was much needed! We can't thank Vinson enough for the time he put in with Ryder and keeping him active.”

Eleanor S.
“My husband and I routinely take our dogs to the beach, often meaning we need someone to look after our cats, and we have four of them! One of our elderly cats had an accident and Eleanor handled it with professionalism. She loves to send texts and photos throughout the day to let us know how our pets are doing. She was also accepting to feeding our chickens, as well. She's a great person and a great cat sitter!”


Ashley N.
“Ashley is great with animals. She has watched my dog and my cats numerous times. My dog did much better with Ashley coming over to the house vs. having him stay at a kennel. She came over multiple times during the day to walk him, feed him and to give him his medicine. Even the cats did great with Ashley coming into the house. Ashley has a great personality, she's trustworthy and responsible. I would recommend having Ashley watch any pet you had. She also does great with little animals. My grandkids had some hamsters at the house and she took care of them as well.”


Jenna D.
“I cant say enough great things about Jenna and Tanner. Their love for animals and attention to details are phenomenal. The amount of time they took getting to know my pets (and letting my pets get to know them ) was incredible and appreciated. Also the extra TLC they showed towards my pets made them feel so comfortable and now they get excited every time they come to visit. If you are looking for help with your pets, look no further, Jenna and Tanner are the best!”
