“Shelly’s the absolute best - my dogs adore her and love getting to stay with her, even my anxious needy dog. She sends wonderful pics and videos and really treats them so well”
“Can’t say enough great things about the care that James C. & wife provided to our elderly dog while we were on vacation. They were willing to take Apollo at the last minute when our previous boarding reservations fell through. Our dog had recently experienced a spider bite with subsequent need for wound care & medication. Couldn’t have asked for better care due to their knowledge & experience. They provided updates & readily responding when we had questions. Would highly recommend!”

“I can't say enough good things about Melody and Matthew as dog sitters! This was Chloe's second time being away from us, and we were a bit nervous, but they put us at ease right away. Throughout the 8 days, Melody sent regular updates that showed Chloe making friends with other dogs and bonding with their kids. It was clear she was comfortable, happy, and getting all the attention she needed. I felt completely confident that Chloe was in great hands, and it made our trip that much more enjoyable. Highly recommend Melody and Matthew!”

“OMG! Michael and his wife are awesome! They kept my 14 year old Pitbull and loved every piece of him. They are a very loving couple and Im pretty sure I will use them again to sit for us. Awesome caregivers and I highly recommend them.”

“John did a great job with our pup. He was great about sending updates and pictures each day. Quick and easy communication. There is plenty of indoor and fenced outdoor space. We will use John again when we need someone near the OBX.”

“Courtney is AMAZING! We have 2 very high energy dogs and I was very hesitant to leave them with anyone; Courtney kept us very updated and treated our babies like her own! We will be using her whenever we go out of town!! :)”


“It was Bandits 1st time away from us. Megan and her husband were very welcoming. They took great care of him. She very knowledgeable and loves all animals. If you need a sitter, look no further than Megan.”


“Cassandra and Tradd were great hosts for Hazel. I could easily tell that she had a great time during the stay. We got regular updates and Christmas ornament with her paw print is something we are going to cherish! So fortunate to have such a caring family to look after our loved one!”

“Armonee communicated regularly and accommodated our many many many requests. I feared I was asking too much in a lot of ways but she really put my mind at ease. I can tell my old puppy loved spending time with her and her family and was well loved! Thank you for your care with my fur baby!”

“Awesome first time experience using Rover. My puppies were well taken care of and happy during their stay. I would definitely recommend this caring family. I will be forever thankful!”
“Carolyn is absolutely phenomenal! Her whole family was absolutely great with my Cane Corso who is 125pds!! Carolyn is very accommodating when I needed to extend a day! She sends updates daily and she treated my Togue as if she was her own!! I’m glad we found this family!!”
“Kimberly did such an amazing job watching our high energy girls! They came home tired and loved after our trip. It was so nice not having to worry about them while we were out of town and would have her watch them again in a heart beat!”

About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since i was a baby! They have always been my bestfriend! I currently have 1 dog (a golden retriever) and 2 cats. And I’ve house sat for many many fiends for long periods of time. In my eyes i don’t see them as just animals but another member to the family. And that’s how i would treat your fur babies! You should feel comfortable leaving your fur babies in the hands of someone else when life becomes busy or you just need to get away. and i promise I will give your babies all the love and attention they deserve! I work weekdays but i get off early almost everyday with very flexible hours and I’m off every weekend. My work schedule is pretty flexible. I have loads of free time! I have a fenced in yards. My dog is an inside dog (the house belongs to her lol) i have 2 cats that wants to sit on everyone lap. My dog has full access to the house when I’m home and only the downstairs when I’m gone. The cats roam the house as they please but they love to be by my side more than anything! My dog spends so much time outside playing and gets a long walk every day!
“You can tell Amanda really loves animals like her own. She took care of our two dogs while we were on an extended trip. She sent lots of updates. She also dealt with an increasingly worsening medical issue and took our dog to the hospital on our behalf. She kept us in the loop every step of the way and went above and beyond in caring for our pups!”

“Charlie had an awesome time during his extended stay with Renata. Lots of outside play and relaxation time allowed Charlie to have a nice vacation of his own while we were away. Communication and updates were easy and frequent during the stay. I highly recommend Renata for your dog boarding needs and I know Charlie would love to stay again soon.”


“Rachel is FANTASTIC and truly loved my pup like it was one of her own. I know my pup had an absolute blast when she stayed the night. She sent me plenty of pictures and videos and kept me updated during her stay :) definitely will use her again when I need to!”
