“Laura was an excellent care provider of our dog, Happy! Happy got sick the day after we left town… He developed pancreatitis…The vet thought from the cicadas he had eaten the days before. Laura checked with us and took him to the ER (vet) because she saw blood in his diarrhea. They kept him for two days for IVs, meds, etc. when he started eating, she was able to take him home and took excellent care of him as though he was her own dog. She cooked chicken, and rice to help him start eating again. Her dog, ‘BOO’ watched over Happy also. She kept us informed with videos and texts every day. When we got back home, Happy was clearly feeling well at Laura‘s home and happy being with BOO. Laura keeps a sharp eye on the dogs. We definitely recommend her!!!”


“Jane was absolutely fantastic, we are pretty sure our two dogs didn’t want to come home since they were so content with her! She sent regular updates and was so accommodating with our drop off and pick up. We can’t wait to use her for future doggy care needs.”


“Summer took great care of Lemmy! We got regular photos, she did a great job with his meds, and she was very patient with us in our first time using Rover. Summer, her family, and her own pets were great to our temperamental little chihuahua. Can’t thank her enough!”


“Shirley and her family were great! Our standard poodle, Odin, stayed for a week over Christmas and I really felt like she adopted him into her family, including her adorable grandkids :). She has a very well behaved dog herself, Chance, and Odin played well with him too - which made it more like dog camp than a kennel where he'd be in a cage by himself most of the time. She sent lots of pictures, including playing in her backyard and in the park. I could really relax while we were gone knowing Odin was in such good hands and I'll definitely take him back to her again the next time we go out of town. Thanks, Shirley!”


“I’d give 10 stars if that was an option! Kim did amazing with my Tony. He has really bad separation anxiety when I leave but he had no probably with Kim. She really made him feel at home and treated him like her own. Very thankful I found her!”


“I wish i could give her 10 stars! She is so good with my Charlie. Sends me updates and pictures throughout each day and helps calm my anxiety. When Charlie sees her she goes wild. I know that my little doggie loves her and she is safe when she is with her. She is the absolute best!”


“She could not have been more amazing! Constant pictures and communication! I was very nervous bc my dog has never been around other animals, She made me feel secure and he was treated like a king. I will use her every time I need a sitter.”


About: I have been around animals since I was a little girl. Being raised on a 160 acre farm that includes.... horses, mules, dogs, cats and goats. I know animals are not just our “pets” but they are our family! I know what it’s like to be away at work or vacation and concerned if your dog is okay. Rest assured they would be in caring hands with me! I love to send photos/updates. I currently work full time Monday-Friday, but I’m available in the evenings (5pm to 9pm) and anytime on the weekends to help care for your doggos! I own my home and live in a subdivision, I do have a backyard but it is currently not fenced in. For this reason I’ve been prioritize more drop in visits for people and staying at your home instead of mine. Although with the right situation/pet, animals are welcome to stay at my home!

“Wonderful! This was our first experience w/ this app and Sandra was just amazing! We found this app last minute before our trip out of town and Sandra got back to us, scheduled a meet and greet and accepted our two fur babies for the weekend. We always had to do day trips or have a family member watch them for a night so we were a little nervous to drop them off, but wow- she kept in constant communication, sent pictures, and made sure they were safe. Our dogs loved her dogs as well! Pretty sure they didn't even know we were gone haha. Will for sure contact her again for our next trip out of town!”


“Good flexibility and accomodating.”


“She was amazing with my dog. He had the best time and she kept me up to date with pictures and how was doing each day. They were even very accommodating when I was running 30 minutes late as well. I would absolutely book with her again if she is available.”


“Samantha gets an A++++++ from us & my dogs! My dogs loved her & she was soooo easy to work with, I will go back to her & would recommend any of you with dogs to leave them with her. She sends pictures everyday showing how she & the dogs are getting along. She even bathes them while they are there. When I picked my Rottweiler puppy up, she was so excited to see me, & wanted me to meet Samantha. Dogs are so smart.”


About: Taken care of animals since I was a kid. I absolutely love animals. They need someone to stand up for them and a voice willing to protect them. I'm a Army Veteran who is looking to keep busy. Hi, im here to take care care and support your loved one. I know what it means to have an animal as part of your family. I can take care of your animal as I do with my 2 Chihuahuas , with care and love. They will be well taken care of. I'm here to provide the best care as possible

“Brittany was wonderful with my cat! She was also very kind to accommodate to my needs of extending services at last minute. I recommend her to anyone. She is such a sweet person.”


“Josie took this booking REALLY last minute (like 6 am day of) after we got delayed flying home. She stopped in before she went to work and made sure everyone had food and was okay. Her flexibility to fit this into her schedule was wonderful and helped us out so much. We love her taking care of our cats and the cats love her even more!”


About: I’ve been around animals my entire life—cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. From playful Yorkies to gentle giants like Saint Bernards, I’ve loved and cared for them all. Whether your pet needs active playtime, like my GoldenDoodle or just some couch cuddles and company, like my Golden Retriever, I’ve got it covered. I’m confident, patient, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs and quirks. You can relax knowing your pet is in loving, experienced hands. I’m currently enrolled in college courses, having class Monday and Wednesday for a few short hours. I’m free most days/overnight, unless I have prior obligations and that’ll be updated in my calander weekly. I have a fenced in yard and 2 doggies who are the perfect mixture of playful/cuddle bugs. My dogs do not stay in a crate but if that’s what your pup is most comfortable with, then we can absolutely do that! I have someone to watch my dogs if I am staying in your home. So I would not bring them with me, unless your furry friend wants a buddy to play with.

“Jasmine was quick to respond to messages and send pictures. A couple of issues came up in the days before boarding but she was quick to figure it all out. Will use her again.”


“She was awesome! Did great watching my dog”


About: Everything short of cutting claws and milking glands. We'll go out a lot together if that's what you’re after or stay in and play “hide the treats in blankets.” Skittish and vivacious canines welcome. I squeeze about thirty hours of my day job into odd slots around caring for my human and high needs dog. While taking two dogs on leashes to Vesuvius is probably a tall order, Central Bark or the Flatwoods dog park are no problem at all. There are so many rugs in this house that I don't care about that if your dog has an accident it is absolutely nothing to me. There is a 1/6 acre of about ten oak and maple trees directly next door for frolicking and my neighbor with her spayed female cat and fixed three year old Shepherd girl to walk over to. If your dog needs a little cooling off, most dogs like cooler conditions, and the five dollar coin op dog wash in Flatwoods

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep passion for animals and my extensive experience in providing personalized care tailored to each dog's unique needs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, preferences, and routines, which is why I prioritize building a genuine bond with them. With a background in volunteering at animal shelters and training in pet first aid, you can trust that your furry friend is in safe hands. I offer daily updates, photo shares, and consistent communication to keep you connected while you're away, ensuring peace of mind for both you and your pup. Your dog's happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I am available mostly all day every day. I work some days, but I can do whatever is needed around my work schedule to provide for the dog. In my home, I create a safe and welcoming environment for pets by ensuring all potentially harmful items are out of reach and providing a designated, comfortable space for them to relax. My home is pet-proofed, with secure gates and non-slip surfaces to prevent accidents. I maintain a clean and organized space, free of hazards, and always have fresh water and nutritious treats available.

“Jenna is an amazing pet sitter. I have had her pet sit my animals about 10 times and every time she does great. She actually trained one of my puppies. When I came home he was potty trained! I recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
