Jenesis was amazing! She made sure to take extra care of my pup and make her feel at ease while I was away. She was flexible with my late evening pick up time and even watched my dog longer than I had originally asked/needed her to. Please book with her if you need a sitter!!

About: Just the 2 of us. Our sweet boy crossed over the rainbow bridge, and while we’re not quite ready to get another dog, we love making new paw friends! We both work from home, and have opposite schedules when leaving the house, so one of us is normally home! It’s a perfect set up for your pups ‘home away from home.’ We take at least 2 walks a day, plus dog parks and car rides! Dogs are free to roam around the house and fenced in yard.

We truly appreciate Brandy! We booked very last minute with brandy. Being on vacation we brought our epileptic pup and he wasn’t coping well in a new place being alone. So we downloaded this app for the first time and booked with her while we went out. She responded when I checked on him, and sent me pictures of him while he was with her. We are even booked an extra day with her while we were here because he did so well in her care! Thank you Brandy !!

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since birth and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm happy to care for your dog's general wellbeing, as well as to spoil them in your absence! I am a work-from-home High School teacher, so I am available 24/7 to spoil your dog! We have an invisible fence and an extra receiver for those who prefer their dog can run around. If you prefer, I can also leash your dog for backyard adventures. We love hiking and neighborhood walks, which I can schedule for your pet, per your preferences. I have 2 dogs, who can be separated from yours, as needed. I have .5 acres, surrounded by an invisible fence with an extra receiver, but can also leash your dog, if you prefer. Leashes are used on all walks and a doggie seat belt will be used in the event that we need to travel by car.

About: Energetic, up and coming dog trainer! I studied for two years at a shop with a dog nutritionist, have apprenticed with a dog trainer for the past year, and just completed a six month program with Highland Canine Dog Training in North Carolina. My love for dogs really started upon volunteering to walk dogs at my local animal shelter and continued to helping with my reactive family pup become her best confident self. I love working with any and all pets including but not limited to puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious pets, cats and even small animals including rats. Any help I can offer with your pet I am here for it! I work part time throughout the week but I officially started my dog training business Howl to Heel LLC and that is my main priority! I will do anything to work in my pet parents into my schedule and offer all assistance needed! I have my dogs fully vaccinated, crate trained and constantly active with new training goals. I have experience working with all different dog breeds and ages. I have taken courses in dog body language to help navigate communication with our furry friends to know when a little help is needed. I always check in with owners in food restrictions and keep a close eye on every pet I watch to keep everybody out of harms way!

About: I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of puppers and needs. From handling dogs with aggression or reactivity issues, to nurturing the boundless energy of puppies through structured play and training, to compassionate care for senior dogs, understanding their unique health concerns and ensuring they remain comfortable and active. Managing multiple dogs simultaneously has taught me the importance of balance, fairness, and individual attention in a group setting. Above all, I am committed to fostering a safe, fun and enriching environment for every dog in my care. I am available for dog walking during weekdays throughout the day, with flexible hours to accommodate various schedules. On Saturdays, my availability is limited, but with advance notice I can make arrangements for morning and sometimes early afternoon walks. Sundays typically have open availability. I'm dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for dogs in my care, and when needed, utilize crates and gates thoughtfully to give them cozy retreats or designated play areas. With a fenced backyard, there's plenty of room for them to romp and explore under my watchful eye. It's all about making sure each dog gets the love, exercise, and mental stimulation they need to thrive and feel right at home.

Laura was great! This was my first time using Rover, and she truly went above and beyond my expectations. She was always quick to respond to my texts, gave great updates, and really seemed to care about my dog while I was away. I highly recommend Laura, and will definitely be using her again in the near future!

About: I kind of fell into the dog sitting fun. My mom used to “sit” with every kind of being from baby to dog before it became a popular hustle. Growing up I’ve always helped and learned from her how to care for other’s family members as one’s own. In my spare time, I love to hike and I walk everyday. I'd love to have your companion as a sidekick on these adventures. Or even just enjoy a leisurely walk. Coming into one’s home is an act of trust and a privilege. This is not lost on me. I have every intention of respecting the needs and privacy of my clients.

This was our first time using Diane. We are pretty discriminating about who we allow to sit our active Brittany. We were very pleased with the communication from Diane. Her concern for Lucy was obvious. We'll definitely ask for her sitting services in the future.
