“Michelle is first rate all the way. She has been doing doggy daycare for my husky Eve weekly since March. Since day one the experience has been wonderful. She is very responsive to request and questions. She has the experience that makes me 100% confident in Eve's safety. Prior to Michelle I had been juggling having friends and other Rovers watch Eve while I'm at work and it was always a stressful endeavor. Michelle and her family have made each visit smooth and problem free. I most appreciate the upfront and thoroughness Michelle has when booking. She is quick to let me know if she's available and if not she lets me know the days she is available. One of the most important things is how much Eve loves being at doggy daycare. Michelle and her family are the only people aside from family I trust to care for Eve.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young, especially dogs and even reptiles! I’ve spent many many hours researching different breeds of dogs so I could understand what they needed to be happy and healthy. I can even do bath times! With me, your pets will be in the best of care. I’m a stay at home mom who loves playing with pets and taking them on walks and play dates. I have a large vehicle which allows for me to transport pets easily. If you need them brought to the groomer or the vet? I’m your girl! I’m currently available to pupsit on weekends with weekdays on a case to case basis, I have two very friendly dogs who love making new friends! They are both crate trained which will allow those pets with a fear of others to thrive. My yard is fenced in as well and I have a 5yr old who loves to play with animals and go on very long walks

“Nelson did such a great job watching my fur baby! I am super protective over my 3 year old Siberian Husky & Nelson provided picture updates of my dog throughout the stay. His home is a very safe space & he allowed my dog to feel comfortable& at home. My dog was so happy AND tired out! He wasn’t thirsty or hungry, he was well loved & cared for and received the exercise he needed. I would highly recommend him to anyone & definitely will be coming back!!”


“Jina made me and rocky feel comfortable from the start. Even though he was a little hesitant at first he warmed up with her my the time I was heading out from dropping him off. She kept me updated and sent pictures of him. She also responded fast to my messages when I’d text her. Jina took very good care of rocky we would definitely book again!”


“Wow! What a wonderful experience I had with Joni & Jerry! They were incredibly accommodating and welcoming to me and my dog. They absolutely treated my dog as their own and gave her so much love and attention! Plenty of pictures sent assuring me she was warming up and and having fun! Please leave your dog(s) with them if ever in Terrell/Greenville you will be more than pleased!”


About: Since 2018, I have been providing care for various breeds of dogs. I currently own a dog whom I cherish greatly. I am a proud dog owner. I provide them with meals three times a day, bathe them twice a week, and take them for daily walks. Being a full-time housewife allows me plenty of time to take care of my pets. I enjoy working with both customers and their pets. I’m patient, friendly, organized, cheerful, and responsible. One of my strengths is that I’m very reliable—if I have a job to do, I always finish it on time. I also work well with others and communicate clearly. Although I sometimes feel nervous speaking English, I’m practicing every day and improving step by step. I believe my positive energy helps me connect with dogs, even if they don’t know me. There’s something in me that makes them feel safe and comfortable. My home is spacious and has a beautiful garden, giving dogs plenty of room to run and play freely.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love for animals of all kinds—young, old, healthy, or those needing extra care. With over 13 years of hands-on experience, I’ve worked with pets who have medical needs, including administering daily medications, caring for dogs with seizures, and supporting senior pets with mobility or incontinence issues. I’m especially tuned in to the unique needs of cats—I've lived with and cared for them for over a decade, and currently have five of my own. I can bathe them, trim their nails, and most importantly, earn their trust (because as any cat lover knows, they choose us—not the other way around!). I also love spending time outdoors with dogs—whether it’s a long walk or just time to sniff around and explore. I currently have one dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like family. That’s exactly what I do. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to take dogs out for walks in the morning, during the day, or in the evening—whatever works best for your pet’s needs. I’m also available for house visits, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and anything else your furry friend may need. Caring for animals isn’t just something I make time for—it’s something I genuinely enjoy and build my day around. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—from feeding and potty breaks to walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to make sure they’re comfortable and happy. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and aim to keep things just as you left them. I’ll send regular updates so you know how your pet is doing and can feel totally at ease while you're away. If pets are staying with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I have experience managing multiple pets and keeping everyone safe and happy, whether it’s quiet time for an older pet or more active play for a younger one.

“Kristal and her 2 pups watched our 5 month old mini goldendoodle on short notice. She always responded quickly, nice clean home, close to us, and seemed confident with having our pup. Her dogs are your, which we were wanting, since our dood loves to play. We were very happy with her care and hope they will welcome her back!”

About: Hey I’m Devin! Being a Vet Tech, the president of the Pre-Vet Club at UCM, and Dog Dad, I emphasize and vouch for the importance of caring for your pets. I know the stress and challenges one can run into when providing for your companions and it can be very difficult . That being said I’m more than happy to assist in caring for all pets, helping you and them with peace of mind and to live long happy lives together. I have extensive experience with companion animals of all kinds and am confident in providing your pet with the best care possible. I’m currently attending the UC as an undergraduate and have lots of time to provide my animal care services when I don’t have classes. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and am willing to make accommodations for your needs. I make sure to be respectful of all my clients property and preferences. I could easily crate your pet if needed, let them out frequently, and overall make sure they are comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve had experience caring for dogs for over 11 years now. I have a 9 year old Poodle mix back at home and recently lost my beloved Yorkie of 14 years. I love animals so much but especially share a love for dogs and will be sure to treat your fur babies like my own. I know how hard it is to trust someone to leave your pets with, without having to worry if they’re being taken care of properly. This is why I will do my absolute best job in reassuring you that your pets are safe with me. To me, our pets are more like family and they deserve to be loved, cared for, and treated as such. I own a full service salon just behind my home and have the flexibility of being able to block off my schedule to accommodate your pet where I can work on afternoons with my clients and be with your fur baby’s during the day. They will never be alone as my partner also lives with me and he will take over when he gets home from work. It’s definitely a team effort that we truly enjoy. I just ask that your pet be picked up by 8:30pm latest and can be dropped off as early as 9am for day care days. I have a huge yard space where I can spend plenty of time playing with your fur baby and have a calm neighborhood where I can take them on morning and evening walks during the day! I am a freelance hair & makeup artist and dog sit on my free time! I love animals and will be sure to treat your babies like mine! I have a fenced yard and a small 2 year old Yorkie who is super friendly and would be happy to keep your pup company!

About: Before I opened my pet care facility I used to take care of hundreds of pets through rover. I'm excited to be back now and meet more fur friends! With over a hundred 5 star reviews on my old profile I was sad to leave it behind but now that I'm back I'm excited to get back to helping care for your fur babies! I have taken care of pets in all capacities! Grooming, training,boarding,daycare, you name it I've done it! I have and will continue to take care of your furry friends like they are my own! The pets have a schedule depending on if they are okay to play with other dogs. We start the day off with breakfast then they are out to play the whole day with a nap/ lunch between noon and 2pm. After a long day of play they eat dinner, have their last potty breaks then settle in their rooms where they are lulled to sleep by the TV. Their schedule of course depends on the owners requests for number of meals a day, what time they eat and their compatibility with other dogs. Thankfully the doggies that can't be with other dogs have their own area to roam and play! Pets sleep in door always and have access to ample outside time! They are able to play with dogs and people in a safe, temperature controlled and comfortable environment!

“Estefany was very nice when receiving my very energetic baby. She send us picture and keep us updated on how he was doing and over all a great sitter. I would definitely be booking for future trips.”



“Marcus was AWESOME! Marcus watched my 4 month old black lab mix, Milo, for just over 10 hours and Milo loved him! Marcus is definitely a dog lover and obviously has great experience working with them. He updated me with pictures throughout the day, which was very comforting. His dogs were also very friendly and were great with my puppy. Definitely rebooking with Marcus!”
