“Bennie & Jennie are wonderful cat boarders! They truly love every cat that they board and show a great amount of attention and love toward their cats! My kitties were with them for 2 weeks, and 2-3x per day they would text photo updates and videos! My kitties were so happy to be around other cats and have so much playtime during the day. I would definitely recommend boarding and/or cat sitting with these two!! 100/10”
“Sunny is an amazing dog sitter for our Labradoodle Duke. She takes care of Duke with great care and gives him all the love he needs while we are away. I received cute pictures daily of Duke playing with other furry friends. I appreciate knowing Duke is in good hands while we are away. Thank you Sunny, we will be seeing you again soon. High recommend!”
“This is the second time we have had Sung dog-sit Maui, and each time has been amazing. He sends lots of photos, which I love, and takes care of her, as if Maui was his own dog. Maui gets super excited when we turn onto his street, knowing she’s going to have a fantastic time with Sung. My dog needs a lot of exercise, and Sung gives her all the attention she needs. I will definitely be reaching out to Sung for all my dog-sitting needs! Thanks Sung.”
“Al is amazing! We love the daily photos that he sends us and keeping us in the loop with our Sophie. We are always at ease knowing that Sophie’s in great hands. We love Al!”
“Normally my wife and I will board our dog Chloe at doggy day care or a kennel but since we just wanted to go out for the evening, we thought we would try a pet sitter so that way we could dop her off and pick her up in the same evening without having to leave her overnight...after looking at some of the available sitters on Rover and reading the reviews we chose to go with Wendi...after meeting with her and her husband and upon picking Chloe up that evening we knew that we made the right decision with Wendi ...they kept Chloe happy and occupied ...keep up the good work and thank you ...Robert&Grace”
“Jeff and his wife were amazing with Molly! This was the first time we’ve left her since the pandemic and they were so accommodating to meet us before the stay! Molly looked like she had a blast hanging with them for the weekend, we got some wonderful pictures from their fun time at the beach! We would definitely use them again and highly recommend to others!”
“Teri was kind, clearly loves dogs, and was extremely responsive and helpful. We even arranged to have her drop my dog off at the end of his stay when my travel plans changed. She is flexible and capable. Thank you, Teri!”
“Vi is amazing! Since the meet and greet she was very professional and nice, she definitely knows what she’s doing when it comes to take care of your dog. My dog Chelsea doesn’t get comfortable with everyone but I’m very happy that her and Vi were a great match! In all the pictures she send me everyday my baby looked so happy and that gave me a lot of peace of mind during my trip. Definitely booking again for future trips! 🩷”
“Roman did an excellent job with my German Shepherd dog Bitsey. He cared for her, walked her made sure she was very well taken care of. He made sure she was well fed and happy and I was extremely pleased with the level of service and care given by Roman.”
“I'm very glad to have left my dog to Meria when our family went on a trip. Meria is so nice and kindly. She treated our dog as her own. When our dog's old injury recurred and it started bleeding, Meria immediately went to buy first aid kit to stop the bleeding. She really loves animals and took good care of it. I'm very grateful and will come back again.”
“Dan was pleasant to work with and Sammy had a nice holiday stay with him. He has multiple pets of his own and clearly loves all animals. I wasn't sure how Sammy would do around large dogs, but Dan had no problem separating her as needed and supervising any interaction, giving bonus socialization experience for her! We'll definitely be back when a need arises again. Thanks Dan!”
“Couldn’t be happier with the service Monica provided. She looked after my pup like he was her own and even helped with a bit of his training! She sent updates daily and sometimes multiple times per day with photos and videos. 100% would recommend Monica as your dog watcher”
“We truly found a grm when trying to find a dog sitter for our Duke. He is very skiddish and is very Easley stressed out. She was so great with him and sent us daily updates and pictures of his time with her. Her dog Oliver was also so sweet and did great with our dog..”
About: I’ve been joyfully caring for doodles for over 5 years! I have a doodle of my own—Harlie—who’s sweet, well-trained, and always excited to be a paw-some playmate for any visiting pups. 🐾 I work from home, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day: regular walks, belly rubs between Zoom calls, and lots of love and care. Whether your pup needs a cuddle buddy or an adventure partner, Harlie and I are here to make them feel right at home! I’m home throughout the day and provide regular walks for my pup and any other visitors. Belly scratches and play time are always provided and welcomed. I have a safe environment with a doggie door accessible to a private, gated dog patio. My dog is very gentle, playful, and is great at making friends!

“Jeff & Keersi were amazing. I could tell my doodle enjoyed her time with them and their doodle. I really appreciated the daily pics, as well as good communication overall. Highly recommend!!”
“Chewie stayed with Jerilee over Thanksgiving 2022. We were thankful to find a great sitter available over the holidays! She was very attentive, responsive and sent me daily updates to ensure we knew how the day went. Jerilee is a great find and we would definitely board with her again!”
