“Summer took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away on a holiday weekend. We were able to relax knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Summer for your pet sitting needs.”
“Everything went as perfectly as it could’ve. My dog never usually eats around strangers which worried me a bit before leaving but he ate everytime he was supposed to with Emma!”
“Tina was great with our pit who is a little hyper and sometimes reactive. She has a calm presence and took notes of everything we mentioned during our meet and greet. Every dog has different wants and needs and she made sure to cater to our pup. I highly recommend her and will be using her again during our next trip out of town.”
“Danni is an excellent cat sitter! I was so impressed by her diligent care for my kitties. She always sent detailed updates and lots of pictures. My babies were happy to have her company because she gave them lots of love and play time. I was especially relieved to find someone who could be a reliable and trustworthy sitter for my diabetic cat. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Olivia was super friendly and accommodating. My pets loved her and she sent several pictures daily to keep me updated. Followed all instructions perfectly and it allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing my pets were well taken care of.”
“Bekah was a star sitter!! The best we've had so far. You could tell she really cared for Diesel and spent her time playing with him and giving him so much love during her visit. She followed everything I had asked her to do & more. She cleaned up after Diesel and made sure he had everything he needed. She locked up afterwards and made sure Diesel was set before leaving. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Hoping to hire her again!”
“Mary was AMAZING! She was able to fit me in last minute, was extremely responsive, on time, and took amazing care of my pets. We will be using her for any future drop ins!”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Mostly cats and dogs. I have learned to understand their behaviors really well. I even have a special place in my heart for the seniors & the sassy ones. I am happy to help! I work from home part time so I can be flexible with pet care & have time to play/give attention to your pet. I am available for boarding after 3 pm on weekdays & I am pretty flexible for weekends. I work from home and am able to walk your dog as much as they need should you need to board them at my home.
“Raquel is the best. This is my second time hiring her. She so obviously loves cats. When I’m away I need to know my baby is in good hands and he always is with her. Thank you Raquel.”
About: I'm a transplant from the D.C. Area where I grew up with dogs. When I left home and started my career, having a puppy wasn't an option with my long work days. Now that I'm staying at home, I miss the love, entertainment, and energy that dogs give. I'd love to meet you, and your four legged babies! Does your pup have a special diet or require meds? That's no problem! I've done oral medications, and even had a family cat with diabetes that required twice daily injections. Regardless if it’s a walk, or caring for your four legged friend in your home, I will give them the love and care they deserve. Contact me for a free, no obligation meet and greet! I work from home, so it is my pleasure to break away as needed. This provides the freedom to make sure they don’t deviate from their normal daily schedule/routine. When providing in-home pet care, I will always focus on maintaining the pet's routine and well-being by ensuring they have food, water, and opportunities for exercise and play.
About: My husband and I have a puppy ourselves; we've been through the rough with trying to find a boarding house we trust our fur-baby with while we've gone on vacation. Trust that with us, your pup will be taken care of and have all the cuddles and tummy rubs while having a friend to play with while your away! We are only a call away, if needed reassurance as well... We are available most weekends, Friday we both work until 5 PM but Saturday and Sunday I am home all day. I can be open to weekdays if absolutely needed but know I work Monday-Friday from 9 AM-5 PM. My husband and I are both 27 years old with no children at the moment so we are keeping ourselves busy with all the animals. We love dog's and dog's love us, sometimes I swear Anthony(my husband) is a dog whisperer... I have a fenced yard and one friendly golden retriever to keep your fur-baby occupied. I am at home most weekends which means I am available to go for walks, and play in the yard. If you prefer, I can also crate your pet at night or whatever your preference is. We love interactive play in our household, as well as downtime. We like to keep our pup busy with toys that she inevitably destroys, but also interactive toys like sniff pads and rope pulls. About the sitter: My name is Eliza and my husband's name is Anthony. We met years ago now through friends and have been inseparable since! I'm 27 years old, and Anthony is right around the corner. We've decided to wait for kids, so our perfect weekend is surrounded by all the animals. We love dog's and cat's too! I plan on getting a kitty soon, we're just waiting until the right moment. We just bought our first home, and we couldn't be happier. It is a 2 bedroom with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play. It also has a fenced in backyard, which is a huge deal with pets that like to run around crazy. About Daisy: Our puppy is only 2 years old as of right now. She is a ball of energy and that is the best way I can describe her! We knew we were going to get a golden retriever before we even moved in with one another. So it was just about finding the right one for us, and as soon as we saw her I knew. She is so interesting and has the biggest personality. Daisy is so sassy and is not afraid to show you. She's doing so good with her training, but still has some ways to go. We are so excited to meet and take care of your family member as you need. Your pet's home away from home! :)
About: With years of experience, I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities. That's why I tailor each walk to ensure maximum tail-wagging joy and stimulation. Whether it's a brisk stroll around the neighborhood or an exciting nature expedition, your furry friend is in safe and loving hands. I’m currently working part time so I have the better part of my week to dedicate to your pup! I have a very consistent schedule which helps with ultimate reliability. I pride myself on building strong bonds with both dogs and their owners, fostering trust and open communication. Your pup's safety and happiness are my utmost priorities, and I treat them as if they were my own.

Andrea F.
“Andrea has had three dogs in her life plus a number of cats. She has definitely loved her animals so much so that when they have died she gets very emotional. She has been very loving to all her pets but also knows how to be the pack leader and make sure they obey her commands so they stay safe. She would make a very good sitter for any dog, large or small. Our three were large breeds, and even as a very young child, Andrea did well with them.”
Eliza & Anthony T.
“I can’t recommend Eliza enough as a dog sitter! She’s super reliable and responsible. Every time I’ve left my furry friend in her care, I know he’s in very good hands. Eliza follows instructions very well for fur babies that need a little extra love & care! There is no one more loving & accountable, she’s the very best person to watch your beloved puppy!”

Highland Pines pet parents share their Rover experiences
Carley came right on time and followed the directions we had for Peenut. She hung out and played with him for the full time slot and he was safely back in his pen when we arrived home. I REALLY appreciate Carley being available on a holiday!!! Thanks so much for helping us out!!
Ashley did an incredible job dropping in on our two cats for a long trip! She made sure both of them were doing okay, fed them, made sure all their litter and water was okay, and spent plenty of time playing with them and sending us pictures! Even though we missed our cats while away, we were so happy to know that they were in great hands. I would highly recommend Ashley for drop in cat services!
Amanda was great! She gave our little Beasty Boy lots of love. She was very responsive and shared lots of photos so that we could feel comfortable knowing he was well taken care of while we were away. I definitely recommend her, and look forward to using her again!
Shawn was amazing! Wonderful to deal with as a person and as our dogs’ new bestie :) very quick to respond and easy to schedule, she was very accommodating to our dogs’ needs. Trustworthy and patient. She truly cared about them and wanted to make them comfortable. 100% recommend!
Lynne and her husband provided exceptional care for my pets at my home while I was away. They were dependable, professional, and showed genuine care and love for my animals. It was such a relief knowing they were being walked, fed, and looked after so well. They kept me updated regularly with messages and photos, which made me feel completely at ease during my time away. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy home—what more could I ask for? I highly recommend Lynne and her husband for anyone needing reliable and compassionate pet care. I will definately be booking with them again. Five stars!
