“Jennifer was great with my little buddy ‘Valentine’. She shared photos throughout his stay and sent him home with a bag of bacon strips. (A bag he chewed through later that night to indulge himself - caught him with a strip hanging out his mouth!!🤪)”

“Wet nice host. Our pets seemed very well taken care of. Very clean home. Very clean and large fenced area for outside play. She is very experienced and did a great job of bonding with our shy Great Dane.”

“I've relied on Teresa multiple times and most recently had a last minute booking for an emergency and she was extremely helpful and accommodating. My dogs always came back happy and well taken care of and will keep using her for future stays!”

“Highly recommended! Stephen took care of my puppy for 5 days and it was excellent. He was very attentive and affectionate, and the fact that he sent me photos kept me at ease the whole time. I am also very grateful to his daughters, as they took care of him and played with him throughout the stay. I am so happy with their dedication and the great care provided. I will definitely count on them again!”


“Kimberly has a very clean and welcoming home. She also has a small, friendly dog, along with cats and chickens, and it is clear she is truly an animal lover. She was very attentive to Lulu and made me feel comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. Kimberly mentioned that Lulu was her first Rover sit, but honestly, it felt like she had been doing this for a while. She sent photos and videos, provided reassurance, and kept me updated throughout Lulu’s stay. I highly recommend Kimberly! I left in a rush because I did not account for the time zone change while heading back home, but I wanted to make sure she knew how much I appreciated her watching Lulu.”

“Ashley is an awesome sitter! She sends wonderful pictures, so we know how our furbabby is doing. And we don't have to worry. Ashley is very easy to communicate with, and understanding! We have used her multiple times, and would recommend her to anyone!”

“Ben did an outstanding job taking care of my little 15 year old miniature Doberman. He provided scrappy with many walks and sent many pictures and videos to keep me updated on how scrappy was doing. I would definitely recommend letting Ben watch your fur babies, as he is very accommodating and understanding with any of your pet needs.”

“Some people you just know you can trust early on when you meet them and Ramona is one of those people. She asks the questions you expect an experienced sitter to ask and has a safe and comfortable place for your pooch to stay.”

“Jessica was fantastic with our two puppies. Took extra care to make sure our more apprehensive puppy was comfortable with his new home away from home!! Provided meaningful updates so that we didn't have to worry about our dogs. Allowed us to choose whether we wanted our dogs kenneled. Overall very positive experience and would allow Jessica to watch our dogs again without any hesitation!”

“I left my two dogs with Savannah for a long weekend and they both came back happy and tired from a weekend of playing. She took great care of them, I would absolutely recommend Savannah.”

“Payton is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! She took care of my baby just like he’s her own. She communicated consistently and sent photos each day. Her pup also gets along well with other pups, and made my baby feel right at home. She was able to give Bane the love and care he needed while I was gone out of town and I’m grateful for her. He had play time, cuddles, and plenty of walks. I HIGHLY recommend choosing Payton to care for you baby in your absence.”

“My dog had a great time at Sage’s! She took her on plenty of walks and took the time to make sure she was comfortable in her home. I appreciated how attentive she was to my dog’s specific needs and always kept me in the loop.”


About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and lizards! We’ve had animals in my own family for as long as i can remember we currently have a dog and chickens and maybe cows soon! I have a personal love for animals! If for some reason my dog Oliver doesn’t get along with your pet I live in a separated part of the house so it will be very easy for me to keep them out of contact. I’m currently working full time but i’m off most saturdays and mondays, and then just whenever else they do not schedule me! I’m very communicative and will work with you as best I can! I care for my own pets with love and care making sure they always have what they need and definitely things they want too lol! In others homes I would show them the same love as my own pets and follow whatever instructions left to a T.
“I can’t recommend Acey enough! She took care of my 4-month-old Cavalier King Charles, Emmett, for 11 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Throughout his stay, she provided regular updates and photos. Emmett came home happy and well-cared for, showing how much attention and love he received. She was professional and showed genuine affection for my puppy. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Chris was such a savior for us when our travel plans were derailed by flight delays! He sent lots of pictures of our golden Squid having the best time and we felt assured he was in capable hands! We are so grateful.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was strong enough to hold a leash and carry dog food! I have fostered 61 dogs and puppies of all breeds and sizes.

I have trained all of my own dogs leash and other basic commands. I also have experience blind, deaf, and diabetic dogs/puppies. I am a full-time student so my availability varies day to day.

I am also 10 minutes away from Kiesel Dog Park and Chewacla State Park. I have two dogs currently living with me. Sally is a love bug and has never met a stranger. Sheba can take some time to warm up, so I typically leave her in my bedroom when introducing new dogs to my trailer.
