“Jade was absolutely incredible. I have 4 crazy Aussies that are full of energy but also full of love. Jade paid close attention to all my directions and my dogs were so happy to have her come see them every day. She gave them lots of love and worked on tricks with them to keep them engaged. I would recommend Jade to anyone who needs pet sitting or dog walking. She was wonderful.”

“Deliris is one of the most sweetest, best person I've ever met. She really loves animals, Sasha loves Deliris very much because she was so lovable to Sasha and treated her so amazing, I will definitely use Deliris services again”

“Irisdelie was amazing, great communication and so so wonderful with my cats. Provided great updates with adorable pictures after each visit. I felt very comfortable and happy knowing my babes were being well cared for and loved while I was away.”


“She was wonderful with my knuckle head German Shepard. She walked, feed, and played with him even though he’s an excited nervous dog. She updated me on anything that happened while I was gone for my 5days and even with pictures! Marlita even went one step above and gave me tips and tricks to help with my dogs anxiety and I couldn’t have asked for more. Her jovial attitude has had a profound effect on me and my dog and I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have experience with every kind of aged fur babies for 13 years. I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals since a young girl. I have multiple friends and family who rely on me to walk, feed, board and bathe their pets! I currently do online classes from home for Vet Technician. I have plenty of time to watch and play with your pup! I am available daily and even on call! I have three pups who are friendly with other dogs and would have a great day with one another. I have a huge home with plenty of space to provide care for your fur baby. I have a nice block to walk as needed for the care of your pup!
“Lilian was great with our cats! She took amazing photos and cared for them like they were her own. She even played with them and got action shots!! She is a fantastic pet sitter and we would recommend her without reservation!! ~Rhonda & Mike”

About: I used to work as a veterinary technician so I do have loads of knowledge on animal care! Aside from that, my greatest passion is animal care, so your fur baby is always welcome with me! :) I am currently a stay at home wife (no children), and thus have plenty of time and space in my home for your fur baby! some things to note are that my apartment is very large and spacious, I live in a very very safe neighborhood, and lastly that my top priority when accepting bookings is your pet’s safety, comfortability and happiness! :)
“This was Kriti’s first time taking care of our 5 cats. She was always on time, important as we have a senior kitty on a feeding schedule. She made sure everyone had fresh food and that their water fountain was always at the max. She engaged all our kitties as seen in all the pictures and video she sent us. Kriti was able to get our skittish girl Leah to come out of hiding and play with her! We highly recommend Kriti if you need someone to take care of your cat/s as she understands their different personalities. We’re sure Kriti would be as dedicated, compassionate and professional with any type of pet you own. We’re happy we found her.”

“Molly was great! She was able to help me out very last minute and took great care of my cat, Daphne. She spent some time playing with her every visit and sent the best pictures and updates. Thank you!!”

“Kayla was absolutely WONDERFUL with our two cats. Our cats are still acclimating to one another, and not only did she spend time with each of them but she did an amazing job at having them play together, listening to them if they had enough, and overall giving them many positive bonding experiences with each other. I also have a much more involved feeding routine/schedule for them than most people, and she followed everything perfectly. I always looked forward to her reports and pictures, and she was very thorough on her stay and how the cats were acting/feeling. I'm 100% sure they will miss her (especially Filo) and I will definitely call on Kayla again in the future!”

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.
About: I cared for my Bichon Frise, for 13 wonderful years. During that time, I also enjoyed walking my neighbors’ dogs alongside him, which gave me experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Through all the walks, park visits, playtimes, and daily routines, I gained a deep understanding of what it takes to keep a pet happy, healthy, and loved. My best friend passed away in 2024, but I still find a little bit of him in every dog I take care of. I’m reliable, patient, and truly passionate about animals. Caring for pets brings me so much joy, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they’re my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! As of now I am very flexible with my schedule at the moment I am taking the time and going to enjoy traveling the world as much as I can and making a little extra money and getting to meet new pets would be a bonus for me ! I have done a couple drop in visits for friends & family pets and I always make sure to follow their instructions and never hesitate to ask when I don’t know something so everything goes smoothly as best as possible. I love animals I would always make sure they are cared for and kept safe at all times !
“Karollyne was wonderful! Very lovely, checked in on my kitty for several days in a row, and was very communicative. Got lots of great pictures while we were away and it seems like our cat did very well with her. Thanks again!”

“Tom showed up on time and quickly got acquainted with our doggies. Doggies warmed up to him quickly. He spent some time with them as we will need him for future visits. He seems to be truly caring for furry friends.”

“We have Nicolle drop by 1-2x a week to let our dogs out for an afternoon break and play with them. She's great! The dogs love her and she's very flexible and easy to work with. Will definitely continue to have her drop in and would recommend her for others!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Cinthia. Even from offering to come over and meet my girl ahead of the visit, I knew she genuinely cared about making sure we felt comfortable. She was extremely communicative and took every direction (and they are specific :) I had so many adorable photos and sweet videos and my dog was still happy when I got home. I will definitely book Cinthia again and strongly suggest others do the same.”

“Charlotte was an absolute superstar with my girls. They are so shy and very rarely come out for people but they both hung out with her. She went above and beyond for me and the kitties. Thank you so much!”

Mount Pleasant pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lilian was amazing! She was incredibly professional, kind, and accommodating and my boys absolutely loved her! She made sure to check every detail every day (water fountain levels, whether litter box was clean, what foods they liked more, etc) and was very communicative. She also sent the cutest pics of my cats, which became one of my phone backgrounds 😂 Will definitely book her again!!

Bre and Myah were an absolute treasure. Super communicative, extremely friendly, and so so good with our girls! One of our babies was recently hospitalized and we needed Bre and Myah to help out with SubQs while we were away. They were amazing and gave me constant updates about the process. Highly highly highly recommend!!

Molly was amazing! She is very flexible and reliable! My Diesel had a seizure the night before my trip and when I communicated that to her, she assured me he will be well taken care of. She also made any accommodation needed to provide Diesel with the best care.

This was my first time using this service. I selected Siara because of the amazing reviews I read and she is everything the reviews say she is. I felt at ease knowing my kitty, Oliver, would be well taken care of. I received daily pictures and videos to put my mind and heart at ease. Thank you so much for, Siara!

Jane did an excellent job with drop-in visits for our two cats. She was reliable, showing up twice daily as scheduled, and clearly took great care of them. She played with the cats during her visits and kept their litter consistently clean. We appreciated that she went beyond the basics, keeping our kitchen spotless where the cats are fed. The photos from each visit showed our cats looking comfortable and content. It was so nice to come home tired and jet-lagged to happy, well-cared-for cats without having to tackle any cat-related housework.

Words are not enough to how I would like to describe my customer experience with Irene, but here I’ll try. Irene was extremely: attentive, caring, responsive, detail-oriented, committed, flexible and on time. She cared for my peace of mind, having great chemistry and patience with my pet, spending time with her, going above and beyond. I’m extremely satisfied with Irene as a pet sitter. I highly recommend Irene and look forward to working with her in the future.
