1. Abbey W.
“Abbey housesat for my two dogs while our family went on a cruise. I was nervous because this was the first time anyone has cared for our pets outside of family. Leo & Laney took to her right away. She made two visits to the home before staying for the week, I appreciated this, so she could get to know the dogs before hand. We touched base while we were away and she sent pictures and provided updates. She communicated well with whatever was going on. I feel very comfortable having Abbey sit with my dogs and would definitely have her stay again. Most importantly our dogs are like family and they were very happy while we were away.”


2. Kari & Clint T.


“Kari and Clint walked our golden daily for a week. They took him on long walks, loved on him and fed him for us. We appreciated the daily pictures and the maps to see where Lincoln took them. We will definitely be using them again!!”


3. Steph T.
“Stephanie is one the hardest workers and kindest people I have met. She lives her live responsibly and works as a professional in public accounting. I have no doubt that a pet would be safe in her care and shown the upmost respect.”


4. Olivia C.
“I can’t recommend Olivia enough for watching my cat, Powder! From the moment she stepped in, it was clear she truly cares about animals. She was so attentive to Powder's needs and took the time to get to know her little quirks and preferences. Powder, who’s usually a bit shy around strangers, instantly warmed up to Olivia — it was clear that Olivia’s calm and loving nature made her feel safe and comfortable. Olivia went above and beyond in ensuring Powder had the best care while I was away. She kept me updated with regular photos and sweet messages, which really put my mind at ease. Olivia even noticed a few things I hadn’t, like when Powder’s favorite toy went missing and found it for her. It was such a thoughtful touch! When I returned home, Powder was happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. I could tell she had been treated with nothing but kindness and respect. I will absolutely be asking Olivia to watch Powder again in the future! She's a true cat lover, and I’m so grateful for her exceptional care.”


5. Jessica P.
“Jessica is one of the most kind and patient people I have ever known. Her love of animals is absolutely unparalleled. She cares deeply for every dog or cat she encounters, and always strives to provide the best care.”


6. Kimberly K.
“When Kimzi lived in Cincinnati, she watched my yellow lab, Stella, between 3-6 overnights per month so I could comfortably travel for work. She sent photos, would FaceTime at my request and took care of my Stella as her own. Stella loved Kimzi and we were both sad to see her move.”


7. Haylie H.
About: I have cared for many different breeds of dogs. Whether that be just feeding, to training and grooming. I have had my personal pets for over 10 years. I have a very open schedule and I am open most of the time. I could fulfill a full or part-time schedule for any owners in need. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs eat off a feeding schedule. I have also potty trained all of my dogs. I bathe my dogs once a week as well to keep them not matted and promote hair and skin health.

10. Zoe B.
“Zoe is great with my 2 dogs (Shih Tzu and Belgian Malinois). She makes sure my 2 yr old Malinois gets plenty of exercise, taking him for long walks and throwing the ball for what seems like hours. He is a very strong puppy and she is able to control him very well during walks. At the same she manages to give my very lazy Shih Tzu tons of love and attention.”

“Sierra is awesome with my baby boy Willie. He gets so excited when he sees her. I've left Willie with Sierra for 3 days several times through the years.”


15. Michelle G.
“Michelle owns two dogs, and is currently fostering one for a friend in need. Prior to fostering she rescued a German Shepherd from an abusive home, and after seeking a routine medical check discovered he was dying. Regardless, she and her boyfriend did not give up on him. They continued to pay for treatments and do everything in their power to comfort him until his last day. On that last day, she called me as her heart shattered holding him as he crossed the rainbow bridge. Michelle send me videos and pictures of her dogs daily. She trains in basic obedience and love knows no bounds when it comes to her four legged friends. I would trust her with any of my dogs.”


16. Jae B.
About: *I will sit intact animals. Rover won’t let me turn that preference off* I have owned dogs my whole life and a passion for animals has always been an integral personality trait. I’ve been a volunteer at The Animal Protection League in Anderson for nearly a year and enjoy it dearly. I offer entry level puppy and adult dog training, walking, hiking, running, or cuddling (if your dog is more that speed). I currently have three senior dogs and understand senior pet needs. I’m currently a student with no other jobs, so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I will update with my current class schedule soon. From volunteering at the shelter, I have been around many different types of dogs and know how to read their body language. Respecting space goes a long way with dogs. Depending on your house rules, I will find ways to adequately care for your dog and can even drive them to the park for walks if you would like!


17. Grace B.

“Very responsive and nice pictures”


18. Taylor H.
“Taylor always makes sure my fur-babies are well taken care of she always sends lots of pictures and videos along with updates. Before leaving she lets me know they have fresh water and food. My dogs are a little shy but LOVE her which puts me at ease when I’m working and can’t let them out as much as I wish. She’s extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly and amazing with communication. You won’t regret picking her!”


19. Caroline D.
“Always punctual, reliable and caring with our two dogs (2 yr old beagle and 6 year old lab). They love her and always look forward to their walks and playtime with her! Would highly recommend- 10/10.”


20. Annie E.
“Annie is my sister. We grew up around dogs and Annie has a huge heart for all fur babies. She really has a sweet touch with all animals and is very compassionate with animals. Annie will definitely go the extra mile for your pup as she has with every animal she has ever met! She has helped out with my puppy on numerous occasions and is super reliable when I need extra help. She will definitely care for your pup as if they were her own!”
