“Donna & Will were absolutely fabulous! They took care of our fur babies like their own. Their home is so dog welcoming and set up to ensure that the dogs are safe and comfortable. 5-star caregivers!!”
“Dalis is by far the most thorough dog sitter in the world. She sent daily pictures and even a couple videos to keep me updated with how my dog was adjusting.Choose Dalis If you want superior care for your pet.”
“Auburn was absolutely the best possible person we could have found to care for my mom's dog. She was kind, flexible, understanding, and totally amazing. My mom had to accompany her partner to an out of town medical facility, immediately after he received a surprise terminal diagnosis. She was very worried about her dog. Auburn picked Ginger up, took great care of her, sent regular pictures and updates, and dropped Ginger off after my mom got home, late at night. She was beyond accommodating and I would recommend her to anyone. If we ever have another need for service, we hope and pray Auburn will be available.”
“Benny was absolutely amazing!! He took wonderful care of my dogs. This was my first experience ever boarding my animals and I will definitely use Benny again in the future. I had complete peace of mind that my fur babies were happy and safe and having an absolute blast while I was away.”
“Connie was the best! Casper enjoyed playing with her fur babies! She even got him off the puppy pads and do his business outside. She is warm and friendly and made me feel that Casper will be cared for!”
“Shannon and her family were great! My high energy puppy was well taken care of and looked like he was having a lot of fun. Shannon sent me plenty of pictures and stayed in good contact with me while I was out of town. I will use Shannon again next time I need a sitter!”
About: Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby! I am currently working full-time for a tech company and am remote. If your fur babies need out in the middle of the day I can accommodate this as ling as I can use the WIFI. I have a cat, and 2 Australian Cattle Dogs who are very friendly. They are welcome to stay with me if they are potty trained and get along well with others.
“Katie is great! She has kept our pup multiple times and is always quickly responsive, sends daily updates and pictures, and gives our dog plenty of one-on-one love and attention while we’re gone!”
About: I have a Great Dane lab mix she very energetic, loving, and playful with every animal. I have dog sat for friends and family I have experience in dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles, and fish. I have an open schedule I stay at home with my dog Gemini and I’m trying to get back into dog sitting and it would also be a plus because she loves making new friends. I live in an apartment. We have a fenced in dog play ground and I take my dog for walks I would take them for walks a well and Gemini get 1 Jr outside to do her business and play and she has a regular potty break every two hours some times it’s cut down on time if she hasn’t been feeling well.
“Audrey was great and kept us updated daily with what Schuyler was up to. There were plenty of walks and cuddles and consistent training/tricks that we had set up for Schuyler. Audrey and her family are great and we will likely keep in touch with them after this.”
“Last minute, having to leave town went on the Rover app looked at some reviews.. Ebony was the one that stood out the most to us last minute we called her actually the night before we had to leave out of town. She immediately responded and said yes you would watch our Dallas we dropped him off the next morning. He went right over to her. She made us feel comfortable. She sent pictures and updates every couple hours. We were very happy that he was in a safe place, and he seemed very happy. We will definitely be using her again and will let friends know also.”
About: Our pets are a staple In our home and I guarantee the same love and care to yours! There has not been a time where I do not remember having dogs, rabbits, cats, etc. therefore, taking care of your baby whether big or small is a second nature to me! I am currently working full time Monday-Friday 8-5pm however, am going to go through a switch In about a month to open my availability immensely! I am always open to weekend needed and can overnight sit any time!

96% of sitters in Lester can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lester home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:

- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lester.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
