“I usually never leave reviews, but Julie and Kenneth have been the best thing to happen to us for puppy care. We were updated often throughout the day and throughout the duration of our Tater Tot's stay. I love that our puppy was able to have a playmate to socialize with and learn from, even while he was away from us and his usual training. It really broke my heart to leave him for the first time while on vacation, but now I don't feel the slightest bit nervous about leaving him with them for future vacations and I know Tater is also anticipating his next stay to see his little friend! He is definitely in great hands!”
“I had a last-minute need to board my dog, and Rover came through in the best way possible. Amber and Dane were incredibly quick to respond, which was such a relief. From the start, I could tell they genuinely cared for my dog, Comet. They treated him like part of the family, and he clearly had a blast with their crew. They also sent lots of great photos during his stay, which helped put my mind at ease and showed just how much fun he was having. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to make both pets and pet parents feel comfortable. I absolutely plan to book with them again in the future!”
“Megan is absolutely amazing. She will send pictures and videos of your pup to keep your mind at ease along with text updates through out the day. It is so appreciated and can't recommend Megan enough!”
“Kathleen was so nice! Her and her husband kept in constant communication while I was gone to give me updates on my doggy and send me pictures. She even bought my dog a new toy! Kathleen went above and beyond watching my dog for 2 weeks during the holidays. She was amazing!”
“Absolutely wonderful! My spoiled and picky old man stayed with Lillian and Timothy for the first time, and I could not have asked for better and more considerate care. They cleverly found ways to get him to take his medication when he was being fussy with his usual turkey wraps. And they sent lots of pictures of him enjoying walks, having cozy naps, and getting plenty of attention and love. 10/10 recommend!”
“Martina is always such a very big help when I need fur baby assistance! She is very good at communicating with me to set up service and does a great job of keeping me informed of his activities during her visit! Great service and and even better service provider! Book today!”
About: Hi there! I'm Leila, and I've been passionate about caring for dogs since childhood. Growing up in a home filled with at least two dogs at any given time (sometimes as many as four!), I've developed a deep understanding of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it's a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I've got the experience to cater to their unique needs. What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my ability to offer continuous companionship, thanks to my remote work setup. Your furry companion will never experience loneliness or neglect while you're away. I'm fully committed to ensuring your pet feels loved, secure, and content in your absence. My services go beyond basic care. I also provide specialized assistance such as puppy training and senior dog care. I recognize the significance of positive reinforcement and patience with young dogs, and I'm well-versed in the extra care and gentleness required for our senior canine friends. My goal is to provide you with complete peace of mind, knowing that your beloved family member is in the best hands possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! As a remote worker, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This means I can prioritize your pet's needs as required, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding times, or simply providing companionship, I adapt my schedule to accommodate your pet's unique requirements. I'm committed to providing personalized care tailored to your pet's needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and content in their environment. I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and following any specific instructions you've provided. By keeping your pet in their own space, I aim to minimize stress and ensure they receive the highest level of care. Please note that, at this time, I exclusively offer pet-sitting services in your home, ensuring your pet's comfort and security while you're away.
“This family is awesome. They are well worth the money they provided so much love and support from my Rottweiler. He had such a good time and he enjoyed himself. I recommend this family to anyone that needs a pet that are because they are out of this world truly five star.”
“Beth was amazing, I had a last family emergency and she was he keep my fur baby at the last minute. My baby was really happy there and was treated very well. Im very grateful for Beth helping me out at the last minute.”
“Jaime & Anthony took incredible care of Marlin! She looked so happy in all the photos they sent. They treated my pet like their own, and gave her the love and care she needed while I was out of town. I definitely recommend them!”
“I would definitely recommend Stacy. Bentley enjoyed his time with her. She sent pictures and gave updates so I knew he was in good hands. She super responsive , definitely rebooking 😊!”
“Mely B. was, without a doubt, the best Rover sitter we could have hoped for! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she genuinely loves and cares for animals. She went above and beyond to make our boys feel safe, comfortable, and completely at home. This was one of their very first experiences staying with someone outside of our family, so naturally we were a little nervous. Mely immediately put our minds at ease with her warmth, kindness, and excellent communication. Throughout their stay, it was obvious that our boys were not just being watched—they were being loved, spoiled, and treated like part of her family. The peace of mind she gave us was priceless. Knowing our dogs were happy, well cared for, and receiving so much affection allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our time away. When we picked them up, they were content, comfortable, and clearly had formed a special bond with her. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, compassionate, attentive, and will treat your pets as if they were her own, look no further than Mely. We would recommend her without hesitation and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future. She is truly a gem!”
About: Grew up on a farm in North Carolina. Growing up we had multiple horses, dogs, cats and also birds. Animals have always been a big part of my life and will continue to be. I am punctual and follow directions well, and willing to cater to special requests for your pets. I work 5 days a week, work starting at 07:00 and getting off around 15:00. I could fit care in prior to and after work. I like to keep a high level of situational awareness when dealing with clients and their animals, always communicating with the owner and sending pictures.

There are not enough good words to describe this sweet family!! I had a knot in my stomach leaving my baby for 10 whole days, but they made it so much better! Constant updates and pictures, flexibility with drop off and pick up, and we even had a “meet and greet” prior to booking to make sure it was a great fit. I will definitely book with them again!
Madison loved my little man just as much as me so leaving him with her was easy. She sent photo updates while I was away which gave me more comfort seeing he settled in well with her. She followed our routine so nothing was out of the norm for him. She’s perfect! I will most definitely book with her again.
Highly recommend booking with Elexus! She is so sweet and great with dogs. She took the time to get to know our Australian shepherd through our profile before his stay which made me feel very at ease. She was extremely communicative throughout our week long trip and was very quick to respond to any questions I had. She also sent multiple pictures throughout each day! If you’re looking for a kind, professional, communicative, and active person who loves dogs, Elexus is your girl!
Brittany was amazing!! She was so communicative while I was away. She sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates so I was never worried how Winston was doing. He seemed to get plenty of exercise, even going to the dog park, and loved playing with her dogs as well. I really think Winston was spoiled on his time away! I will definitely be using Brittany again for when I go out of town.
I contacted Daisy LATE for the possible care of my Dog as a previous Sitter was not a good fit...we had a Meet/Greet on same day I contacted her which went well!! and she agreed to watch him for the weekend! She sent pictures plus she has an older dog who is chill like mine and they got along fine!! Her and her husband, Walter really cool people who care about and for your pet. very clean house, plenty of fenced in yard for my dog to 'explore'. I highly recommend Daisy, husband Walter and their 'boy' Teddy!!!!
Isaac took excellent care of our dogs, Duchess and Jojo, while we were away on a week-long cruise. His communication was great throughout our trip, and we really appreciated the frequent photo updates. We picked up our pups happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Isaac to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Very easy to drop them off and pick up, Brandon came to help and was super friendly and very welcoming for my chaotic kiddos. He did a phenomenal job taking good care of them while I was away. I got lots of pictures of their walks and the fun things they did this amend. I was worried because one of my boys has an anxious attachment personality due to his upbringing before I adopted him, but that wasn’t much of an issue with him due to the comfort and care that was provided. Extremely happy with the service (:
