“Yui was absolutely amazing with Reese. She sent me pictures of him throughout the day and was very responsive when I would message her for check-in's. Reese felt right at home with her. When I arrived to pick him up, his tail was wagging and I could tell he had a great day. Before we got in the car to leave, I told Reese to say goodbye, and without hesitation, he walked up to Yui with tail wagging and gave her kisses. I will use Yui and Brian again for sure. This was my first experience leaving Reese with anyone, and will not hesitate to leave him with Yui and Brian again.”

About: I have taken care of different kinds of animal my entire life. Because of their unconditional love I find tremendous satisfaction when caring for and loving them. I am recently retired and can think of no better way to spend my time. Animals soothe the soul. I am very comfortable around all breeds. I do not have a fenced yard, but it is private. My dog is a member of the family, not a pet and your precious angel will be treated the same!
“My dog had an incredible experience at Ryan’s. It was the first I have used this service. I was a little nervous, but was immediately put at ease by Ryan’s, kind calm demeanor. He has a beautiful home with a nice back yard for dogs to play in and his dog are sweethearts. I could not have hoped for a better situation for my pup.”
“Nikki was amazing with my 4 months old pup Bishop. I dropped him off early in the morning and she was there to greet us right on time. She sent videos and pics for updates and even updated me on how he was doing with the other dogs. I found my dog sitter! Highly recommend and I'm sure Bishop can't wait to see his friends again!”


About: My name is Christina and I'm 36 years old. There hasn't been a time in my life that I haven't had dogs. I live with my husband and we have two dogs. We have a fenced in yard and tons of toys and frisbees. From June-August, I am home all day (I'm a teacher). My dogs love to make friends big and small and they know all the best places for runs and walks. We live in the Mulberry Park subdivision and walk the trails all the time and put our paws/feet in the river. I love to teach dogs tricks and would love to keep your dog or dogs entertained so you can relax while you're away from them. Thank you for considering me to watch after your pups. - Christina I can try to work with your schedule as much as possible. I work until 3:15 so I have some availability during the months I am teaching (August-May). I have a fenced in yard and will supervise play time and meal time. I’ll make sure they have plenty of water and and potty breaks.

“Great experience! Recently my dog stayed several hours with DeAnne. She took excellent care of him. He’s now scheduled for two nights of boarding. I’m very happy to have found DeAnne on Rover.”
About: I have always loved animals and enjoyed their company. In addition to my own kitties and snake and my friends' fur babies, I have a lot of experience caring for many different animals. I spent two years working in a busy pet store caring for a wide variety of animals, some of which included ferrets, birds, reptiles, and fish. I also managed a pet boarding facility and had the opportunity to meet and care for many different breeds of dogs and cats. I can't wait to meet your babies and give them all the love they deserve! I am currently a part-time student and pet-sitting is my main job. My schedule is generally pretty flexible, and I will work around your needs. I can provide potty breaks every 4-8 hours, and more frequently if needed. I live with my fiancé and he works from home, so your babies will never get lonely! I love to do whatever makes them the happiest! We can snuggle up on the couch and watch TV, go outside for walks and play time, and they are more than welcome to be my cuddle buddy at night if they are used to sleeping in the bed. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible while their parents are away. I can also give them medicine or any special care they might need.
“How I got so fortunate on a spur of the moment is beyond me. When I tell you we were meant to cross paths today. Our footsteps were guided because he knew I needed her today. Not only did she save me from missing work, but something more personal. This lady has heart that just loves. She is a servant. She loves genuinely. I was having a really rough day, and she cared. A lot. She also knew it was my first time leaving my baby. So she sent pictures and let me know everything they were doing. I will forever trust her to take care of of my babies because I know she treats them with nothing but love, compassion that can only come from a genuine pure heart. I thank you for today and for just being you.”

About: I have taken care of all of my animals since before I can remember. Walking them, playing with them, feeding them, bathing them, and picking up after them. I've had many dogs growing up ranging in different health needs and breeds. I've also had cats and so I have a lot of experience with them as well! I have a poodle, named Kai, and so I also have experience when it comes to grooming dogs as well! I also have experience with bearded dragons, sheep, horses, goats, rabbits, chickens, ducks, cows, and pigs. I'm currently a online college student that moved to the state of Georgia in 2021. I'm available just about any day and any time to care for your pets. When going to my clients home, I first notify them that I have arrived, I then greet the pets and take them right outside to go potty. If they made a mess of any sorts and the yard is fenced, I will leave the pets out to clean up then go back outside to play with them and get out some of their energy. If the yard isn't fenced and they made a mess I will bring them in with me and watch them while I clean up. Once done with all of the things that need to be done to care for the pets, I will inform the client of everything I did as well as how the pet behaved and give update photos/videos when requested to have them.
About: Hello! I am a lifelong dog owner and an experienced dog sitter. I cared for my senior Shih Tzu until he passed away (age 12). I now have a 5-year-old French Shepherd named Sasha. She is sweet and playful! I have experience caring for large and small breed dogs. I am committed to providing a safe and fun environment for your furbaby! I have a flexible schedule, so I am able to be home throughout the week. I can provide constant supervision and companionship to your pup as well as frequent playtime and potty breaks. I can take your pet for a walk or drop by for playtime. I can host your dog overnight in my home. I am excited to meet your furry friends!
About: I have taken care of dogs of every kind, even as a kid. I currently have 4 of my own all of which are rescues and volunteer at various shelters every week because I am a passionate believer that all dogs deserve the best life we can give them. I walk, bathe, train, foster, and socialize their pups. I take my kids and niece with me because I feel it is important to share my love of dogs with my family. If I’m doing a drop in visit or walking your dog the rate is 45 minutes-1 hour. I have had to give fluid under the skin to my bottle fed baby who passed away from kidney disease along with other medical treatments that were required to ensure he had the best life. I have experience with leash walk only dogs who are going through heartworm treatments/car accidents/amputations/dog selective pups/playgroups. I also have experience towel walking dogs that have been hit by a car and cannot use their back hips on their own yet. I am currently taking a break from full time work, so I am available any day of the week. I am home the majority of the day. I have a fenced in yard, and 4 dog friendly pups. I have experience with crating and rotating pups if you would rather keep them separated. I am used to handling multiple dogs.
About: I did actually fracture/break my wrist, i get to find out soon, so I am unable to take on any additional babies right now. As soon as I am well, I will add Times back.- 9/8/25 Good to meet you! My name’s Jen and I have been raising animals of all breeds and species since I was 4 years old. My grandparents farm on the reservation always maintained at least 20-30 animals. I had my first goat, 4 dogs, a guinea pig and an African parrot named BoBo when I was 2. I am an ASPCA guardian, a WWF defender, PETA advocate and currently have 4 dogs of my own. I lost my two pits the beginning of this year and the one prior to golden age, broke my soul to lose them……Without my recently departed Pit-babies the sizes of my dogs are 5 lbs-38 lbs. All are Dog and cat friendly, also proven track records with guinea pigs and parrots. All pets are allowed on furniture and beds so yours will be as well. You can ask me for as many photos and videos as you need to feel comfortable; I have also recently ordered a Pet cam set-up which will enable me to send real time, direct videos to pet parents, so cool…... I sanitize the dog areas 2 times a day; once before eating lunch and then again after dinner. I do not use harsh chemicals at all; only natural cleaning remedies as my dogs have severe allergies as well. Since the animals that I foster and adopt are elderly or handicapped or have some sort of illnesses, I am well-versed in administering medications of all sorts; topical, oral and injections as well as being a groomer 😉, we can make sure it’s all covered. I’m hoping to begin to do this full time soon, god willing. For now I am part time but a full time animal lover. For the next month I have free time all weekend I take care of them however and whenever they need taken care of. You just have to have keen senses and anticipate things even if they never happen, that’s how you stay prepared

About: I’ve always had some kind of pet since I can remember whether that was a fish, frog, shrimp, rabbit, cat, or dog! I LOVE ANIMALS! I am that person at a family gathering/ party hanging out with the pet - not the people! ☺️ I currently have a 14 year old “lab/retriever” (I think part Rottweiler somewhere down the line) that I got from the humane society when she was a puppy - she’s the best part of every day! I’ve taken care of my aunts boxer while she has been out of town (during her heat cycle once) and my other aunts Beta fish! I appreciate the opportunity to take care of the best part of your day! 😊 I am currently working from home and starting my own business Capriluna🌙! I take care of my dog daily so I understand the need of pet care! My dog stays inside and is fed 3 times/day. She is a senior so potty breaks are frequent. She currently is not on any medication but does take joint care medicine daily. When watching my aunts boxer she is fed twice daily and a good bit younger, so her potty breaks are not as often. During her heat cycle, she remained in diapers (obviously except for potty breaks and outside time). Any pets that stay will receive the same amount of care/attention as my own dog. My dog is NOT a social dog and has been alone her whole life and out of respect for her space and comfort, all guest dogs staying over will stay in my office (NEVER in the same area as my dog). They will have separate potty breaks, walks, feeding, attention, etc. Her care and comfort is priority to me and I hope you as pet owners can understand this. Also, crates will need to be provided by the owner for overnight stays (until I can afford to buy one for my clients).
About: PREFACE: animals MUST be fixed, AND do well around SMALL CHILDREN We own 2 dogs. We take care of them daily. We also have an 18month old and a 4 month old! I currently work Monday- Friday 8-5. I can do boarding and check ups. If your dog is not friendly with other dogs, i can always put my dogs up and let your dog have the house to his/herself. I can make accommodations to your pet's needs. I can be flexible for the care of your pet. Old, young, nervous, or even requiring special needs, you let me know how you care for your pet, and it will be done! I can pop in before or after work, I can let the fur baby’s out with my dogs or I can separate them if need be. I can checkup on the animals, I can board them so it is more convenient for all, I can crate them if need be. If you write the requirements on a piece of paper, or in a written form, I will get it done as requested. I am great with following directions.
