“We can't say enough good things about Rhonda. She is so wonderful, I truly have no worries about our house, or our animals while away. she is always our first call!”


“I thought she did an exceptional job with my girls. I was very happy with how she handled them while we were gone. I loved the photos and videos she sent to us. Really made us feel assured. She also left us a journal of each day, was not necessary, but we enjoyed reading it.”


“Overall good! I would have liked them there a little more but the dogs seemed to like him a lot and it was a crazy weekend with a lot of traffic! Thank you!”


“1st time using Rover and Raye was great. Arrived right on time and sent pics of the dogs while staying. I got home the next day and couldn't tell she was here (no mess, garbage etc) Will definitely have Raye stay with my boys again.”


“Ashley was amazing! She gave constant updates and was totally fine with all of the instruction I gave her because my dogs can be difficult at times. 10/10 would book again and recommend to a friend :)”


About: i have grew up with dogs. i have worked at a dog boarding/daycare place where we feed, water and let dogs out and cleaned up after them if they made a mess. i am completely free anytime during the day unless i have a doctor appointment which i would communicate with you about! so i would be free anytime to let your fur baby out and feed them and play with them for a while and just spoil them more than they already are! if your babies were in a kennel i would let them out and play with them for as long as y’all would let me and if you had a fenced in yard or if they do fine out in the yard without a leash i would play with them outside and before i would put your babies up i would take them on a walk and make sure they used the bathroom!

“I would give Kennedy 100 stars if I could! She was an absolute team player and stepped in immediately when we had another bad sitter experience. Kennedy took on the job with little to no insight and not getting to meet us or our pets ahead of time. She took over in the most effortless way and let us enjoy the remainder of our vacation knowing our pets were in such excellent hands! She communicated very well and even communicated more to ease our anxiety. Kennedy is a rockstar and took initiative on asking if I needed any care of stuff I didn’t mention in my notes or a drop in before we made it home! Words will never be enough to praise her great work ethic. She truly cares about your pets like her own. Thank you for absolutely everything you did to help us Kennedy!”


About: Hey there! I’m Haley. If you’re anything like me, your pets are family. 🩷🩷 I’m confident with pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your pet needs medications at specific times, your cat is skittish around new people, or your senior pup needs a little extra TLC — I’ve got it handled with patience, experience, and a whole lot of heart. I genuinely pay attention to the little things — their habits, moods, body language, what makes them feel at ease — and I always aim to make their time with me feel like a safe, happy extension of home. I’m especially tuned in to pets with anxiety or special needs. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby behind, and I do everything I can to make that process feel smooth and comforting for both of you. Expect open communication, photo updates, and lots of love given in your absence. I’m not just a sitter — I’m a calm presence, a routine-keeper, a play buddy, and most importantly, someone who genuinely loves animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own. If that sounds like what you’ve been looking for, I’d love to meet you (and your four-legged bestie)!🩷 Pet care is part of my everyday life—I build my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s morning feedings, mid-day walks, or evening check-ins, I make sure your pet’s routine stays consistent and stress-free. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which makes me available for frequent visits and extended stays if needed. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. In your home, I keep their space clean, secure, and familiar. I follow all your routines and instructions closely—whether it’s crate time, diet, or meds. In my home, I maintain a quiet space with plenty of supervision. I communicate with pet parents frequently, with photos and updates for peace of mind.
