About: My wife and I had a successful dog-sitting business using a different app for years. Your pet will be well cared for. If they are on a special diet, no problem. I am organized and will ensure your pet is well-fed, walked, and playing. My wife and I are working from home so we will be happy to set your pet for you while you vacation or just want to take a little break. Your pet will be able to chill and relax or we can go to the near by dog park to get rid of that puppy energy. I have an open schedule. I work as a Lyft driver and have a side business. I have plenty of time to walk and play with the pets we care for. We ha e a fenced in large yard with plenty of space for the dogs to run and play in. They always enjoy playing and running in the yard.

This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!

About: I love dogs and have a friendly, 2-year-old yellow Labrador. I work from home, so your dog will always be within my sight. I understand how difficult it can be to board your furry friend, but you won't have to worry when your pet is in my care. I work from home, so your dog will be with me throughout the day. My dog enjoys sleeping in his crate, but if your dog isn't used to crates and prefers to sleep in bed or on the sofa, they will have the freedom to do so. I have a fenced yard and enjoy a daily game of ball with my dog, Milo, every morning. We also take walks together each day. Milo is great with other dogs and acts as a wonderful mentor. If I ever need to step away from home, I have an extra crate available to securely accommodate your dog if necessary. Rest assured, your dog will always be housed inside my temperature-regulated, loving home, not in an outdoor kennel or garage.

About: Please note that I just speak spanish. I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, and my love for them has only grown over the years. I’ve always treated pets like family, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ve cared for my own pets through every stage of their life, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and have been with them until their final moments. Additionally, I take great care of my grandchildren's dogs, loving them as my own. My experience spans across all ages and needs, including puppy training and senior dog care, ensuring your pet receives the best, most personalized care. I am someone who is fully dedicated to animal care, which means that pets are my top priority. My daily routine revolves around providing the best care for animals, whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship. I focus all my time and attention on ensuring that each pet gets the care and love they need, and I’m flexible enough to accommodate any specific schedules or needs that arise. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with plenty of space to play, relax, and explore. I create a pet-friendly setting, free from hazards, and make sure all pets have a designated area for eating, sleeping, and exercising. For pets in their own home, I respect their routine and surroundings, ensuring they feel safe and secure while maintaining a familiar environment. I prioritize trust and communication with pet owners, updating them regularly to ensure they feel confident and at ease while their pet is in my care.

Syed is amazing with animals, big or small. He’s an incredibly calming presence and he’s personally helped me with multiple rover clients. As a member of the VCU crew team, he’s very active and wakes up early every morning (and i mean EARLY). Lazy is not in his vocabulary—Syed is legitimately one of the most active people i know. His love for animals is very apparent and any dog would be lucky to have him as a caretaker :)

Alexandra was so helpful today when I had a last minute meeting and needed someone to care for Dolly. She worked with my schedule and sent the cutest pictures of Dolly!

Thao is a great sitter. She is very communicative, flexible, and considerate of our time &, of course, our Snoopy! I look forward to booking her again.
