“Elizabeth was a life savor! I had last minute reached out to see if she could watch my puppy and she was able to accommodate to do so. I felt extremely comfortable leaving my girl with her! She’s super friendly and you could tell she has a genuine love for animals. She was sending me pictures throughout the day and I could tell Nova was having a great time. I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone! Thank you so much for taking great care of my crazy pup Elizabeth!”

“I couldn’t be more pleased with Myra’s kindness, patience and attentiveness while hosting my Fido. her photo updates and DM’s throughout the day were very considerate and most welcome. I would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for caring and competent care of their furry buddy”

“Amazing experience! We couldn’t have asked for better top notch care and service for our pup. Thank you Jennifer! We would recommend her to anyone and will use her services again!”

About: I grew up on a farm and ranch, caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. While living in South Carolina, I assisted with service dog and obedience training. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I’ve cared for them throughout my entire adult years. I can’t wait to offer your pup a safe, loving environment while you’re away! Usually home all day Sat and Sunday. Mon - Friday I’m gone from about 9am to 12pm. Home for the rest of the day to keep your pups company, aside from life errands that are few and far between. Drop offs/Pick ups no later than 830pm. As of right now I can have one client at a time, Thank you. I have a 6 foot privacy fence and the front room is set up for your pup to stay in and there is a XXL crate and for smaller pups I have a large play pen and a canopy bed. I do have three dogs that are friendly, however my house is constructed to where I can keep everyone separated and comfortable.
About: I was raised around dogs since childhood, and have always been involved with animal rescue since I had my own place. We have dogs and cats of our own, and they enjoy having fluffy friends to play with as much as we do! I’m currently available during the day full time, and only work part-time at night. So there’s a lot of availability for either dog walks, emergency boarding needs, or doggy daycare options. We have a fenced in yard out back, and crate-and-rotate when needed. I am experienced in handling all behaviors of dogs, from the fearful/shy to the escape artist.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10. With over 8 years of experience, I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. Whether it’s energetic puppies or gentle senior dogs, I always treat them like my own-with patience, love, and attention to detail. I’m currently home full-time, so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets! I’m available every day for walks, drop-ins, sitting, or boarding-weekdays and weekends. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and care whenever they need it. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and am just steps away from several parks-perfect for walks, playtime, and potty breaks. The building is secure and quiet, and I always create a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. I can also crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines to help them feel right at home.
About: I have cared for cats for most of my life but 5 years ago my fiancé and I adopted my first dog. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my dog, Mary Jane, who has been my sweetest teacher in understanding dog behavior, routines, and communication. Through caring for her, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walking, feeding schedules, basic training reinforcement, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, consistent environment for a happy pup. I have also cared for many friends pets while they were away on vacation. I may be new to Rover, but I’m not new to being a responsible, attentive animal owner. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily rhythm. I work part-time with flexible hours, giving me plenty of space in my schedule for peaceful walks, playtime, and check-ins with pets. I’m used to creating a balanced routine around my own dog, and bringing that same calm, attentive energy to other pets feels completely natural. I am currently free to sit/walk any day of the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for them. I follow your routines exactly as you outline them — from feeding instructions to walk times to any training cues your dog is used to. I keep doors and gates secured, monitor their body language closely, and make sure they always have fresh water and a comfortable space to relax. Trust is extremely important to me, so I communicate clearly, send updates/photos, and treat your home with the same respect and care I treat your pet.
“Sureya connected with my dog immediately. She got down to his stature level and rubbed and hugged him, at that point I knew he was in good hands. Sureya took my dog Corbin without a two hour notice and I was so thankful especially being away from home. Sureya took great care of Corbin and I will definitely use her again when near the area.”

“Abigail and her husband Daniel provided my dog Peace with a safe and comfortable place to rest and recover after his oral surgery. I felt reassured and gained complete peace of mind while I attended appointments throughout the day that I could not miss. I feel completely comfortable to reach out to Abigail again if I need more support for Peace. Grateful for their care of him.”

“Teresa accepted my request almost last minute after mine was not doing well at the doggie daycare. She is very experienced, reliable and provided a lot of love and care for Miller. Thank you very much!”

“I am always nervous about leaving my anxious dog with new people but Emily was fantastic. She communicated and handled him with care. I even got photos of a clearly fun day. I can trust her and will for sure be back!”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Around 5 years ago I got a few of my own. I have been around all types of animals from cats to Cane Corsos. I have never had any problem being around any type of animal regardless of size. I love going on walks. I normally stop by and feed my family's pets and make sure they are well taken care of. I have also trained puppies and have handled senior pets as well! Pet care is not something interrupts my daily or weekly routine. It is something that I actually prefer to do with my time. I love being able to help people with their fur babies while they have prior engagements and cannot be there at a certain time! I will follow all of your rules while inside your house. If you need your pup crated I can easily do that. I can also let them out in your fenced yard or take them out on a leash.
