“Jess was able to take our doggie on short notice during spring break and we’re so grateful! She sent daily updates, even several times a day. She was very quick to answer questions and texts so communication was always great. We’ll definitely will continue to use her. Highly recommend”

“Stephanie is an enthusiastic animal lover who provides services that go beyond the next step. She was very generous and flexible when it came to scheduling pick-up and drop off times for my Sheltie, Dottie. I received text, and photo updates regularly, and was delighted by videos she took of her adding to Dot's tricks repertoire. I plan to use Stephanie's services again and highly recommend her to anyone who is searching for a quality animal sitter.”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.

“I really appreciate Jenevieves prompt response time. She texted and sent pictures of Millieon and just provided outstanding care and comfort at such short notice .”

About: I have many years of pet care experience. As long as I have had a pet I have always treated them like family. Let me be one of your pet’s best friend. I go to school online full time from home during the school year. I am currently available to play with your pet(s), feed and walk them Monday through Friday. I will respect all of my clients rules if I am pet sitting in their home. I will do my best to accommodate my clients rules for pet sitting at my home. I am very respectful and want my clients to know that I am here for them and their pet(s).

About: I have life long experience with multiple cats and small dogs. Although I am a big dog lover too, I have more experience with small pups. My experience with dogs has included training a puppy with potty training, twice daily dog walking with waste cleanup, appropriate feeding, regular vet visits, grooming, and lots of love and play! I have pet sitting experience through friends and family. When they are out on vacations, I am their go-to! I care for each pet as if they are my own. I have experience with an exotic animal; a Tortoise named Shelly, who I lived with for a year. I have sitted her outside of living with her and gave her scheduled shots for her condition. I am currently available all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am available for drop in visits before 11 am. Saturdays I am available after 5:30 PM. Fridays are my days off. I always make sure to respect a pet’s boundaries. I give them some time to sniff me out, get a feeling about me, and match that energy. Some animals are very playful and affectionate, and I will return that! Other animals are a bit more shy, and I will let them come to me for any cuddles and affection. I never want to make an animal feel uncomfortable, especially in their own environment. I make sure animals are fed on time and have a full belly with plenty of hydration! I ensure litter boxes are cleaned daily. Walks for dogs are 1-2x daily with time outside playing after potty time if that is what they desire. Your pet will feel the love (and lots of pets and head scratches, as I am an expert in that) if they give me the cues that they are comfortable with that. ♥️

“We recently boarded our dog , Harry, with Kat J. It was a very positive experience. Kat took wonderful care of our senior dog. She paid very close attention to all his needs. She shared photos of him every day, along with texts, describing his day. We would highly recommend Kat!”

Kathy K.

“As first-time users of DogVacay, we are so pleased we chose Eleanor to watch our old boy. She is an experienced sitter and really helped him feel as comfortable as possible, which is not easy because he can be quirky and nervous. From the photos she sent, it looks like he settled in and enjoyed his time there. We'd be happy to have Eleanor watch our dog again.”

“Kaneishia was amazing and did great looking after my Carley! She sent me pictures and videos every day and kept an open communication for me to contact her at anytime. She promptly answered to my messages. I definitely recommend her services. Thank you Kaneishia!”

“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”

“Emily was great! We had plenty of pictures and information throughout boog's stay. For our first time using river, we were a little nervous but now we found our go to! It was a great experience!”

“This was our first ever experience with Rover.com and we couldn't have been any more pleased! Nancy was fantastic! Our dog was in the best hands possible. We received updates, pics and videos, as many or as few as we wanted... We were nervous about leaving our pup with a stranger, but our meet' n greet couldn't have gone any better. Charlie was instantly at home and the energy of the house was comforting and relaxed. He got to run around in a nice open fenced in yard and even play with some other pups that were visiting. Any fear of this not working out were completely dashed. We just picked up our pooch yesterday and have already booked our next getaway. Thank you Mark and Nancy!”

Christina F.

“Simply the BEST! My dog didn’t want to get in the car to leave! Katherine had a nice big yard and a pup Colby who clearly entertained my Tully. I received lots of pictures while I was gone and I was kept updated just enough so I could relax during my time away. I will be booking again!”
