Aaren and Jordon are practically family now. This is the second time they have watched my girl and they take the BEST care of her. They love on her, make sure she is getting fresh air, and even take her on outings. I almost hesitated to write this review because I don’t want yall to know how great they are and then start taking all to spots - just kidding! I can’t be selfish! Everyone deserves to feel the peace I feel when my pup stays with them ❤️.

Michelle always does a great job sitting my dog. I had a last minute trip planned and she was able to accommodate. I even had a delayed trip back home and she was very flexible which I appreciated.

Hillary was absolutely wonderful watching my pup Zephyr for the day. She sent pictures while Zeph was staying with her and kept me updated on details regarding how he was adjusting and feeling while in her care. It was clear to see how much she cared and prioritized my pups comfort over everything. We will absolutely be coming back and I look forward to zeph staying here again!!! :)

Alex is fantastic! She’s watched our pups twice now- including when we traveled cross country- and we always know they are in good hands. She sends us updates, is great with communication, and clearly cares deeply for animals. We can’t recommend her enough

Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!

About: I love dogs so much and my experiences with them are endless! I have been around dogs and cats since a young age, senior-puppies-kittens. I have raised and trained a puppy before, dog sat many dogs in the past and have experience administering medication. 🐕 I am majoring in psychology to go into animal behavioral therapy, I’m knowledgeable on animal language and understand their boundaries. So I guarantee I will have your dog/cat feeling safe, loved, and cared for easily! 💛 I am currently free most days if not all of the week. I have classes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but still may be relatively available these days. The best available times for me for drop-in/day-time care range from 8am-8pm each day. At my home I have a small fenced in backyard and I live in a walkable area nearby a park for walks and zoomies. Indoors or outdoors I will make sure your pet stays safe and entertained. Whether it’s brushies or playtime I can care for them in these ways in your home or in mine. 🐈‍⬛

About: I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. I carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. My focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. Pet care is part of my daily life. I’m home throughout the day and organize my schedule around the dogs in my care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. I have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside, I provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. I follow established routines closely, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.

Aaren & Jordan took excellent care of my dog. She was very anxious the first night and they went above and beyond trouble shooting to help her feel comfortable for the remainder of her stay! They are great communicators, provided us with plenty of updates and our dog with long walks. Would recommend they to anyone!

Joanna was warm, friendly, and easy to communicate with from the start. She’s clearly a dog lover and has two dogs of her own, which made me feel comfortable leaving Rocco in her care. Communication was smooth throughout the stay. Rocco came home healthy, clean, and in good spirits. His personality was the same as usual, and he adjusted back easily. I appreciated the overall experience and would feel comfortable booking with her again.

Jakiya is SO lovely! Jakiya watched our young puppy, which was our first time leaving her. Jakiya was so attentive and very willing to follow all of our very specific puppy needs/details. She was an incredible communicator, sending frequent updates and pictures. Jakiya also went the extra mile for us when we had a last minute flight cancelation, helping us out and re-assuring us without any hesitations! She even went as far as to wash and pack up all of our puppy’s bedding and crate for a speedy hand off at pick up. I would 10/10 recommend her and will definitely be using her again for any future Rover needs!

Lilly took amazing care of our dog Bodi for 6 days, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She kept us very informed the entire time and sent lots of pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Bodi was very comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for the attention and love she gave him and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Ashley was absolutely amazing with Onyx over the Christmas and New Year’s holiday! She kept me updated with pictures and messages throughout my time away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Onyx loved playing with her kids and looked so adorable cuddling with everyone, it was clear he felt right at home. When Onyx struggled a bit at night and was barking, Ashley was incredibly patient and kind. She reached out to ask for advice and even allowed calming treats to be dropped off while I was away, which I truly appreciated. She followed all of my special instructions perfectly, including giving him his Christmas presents on Christmas Day and feeding him a special holiday meal. I’m so grateful for the love and care she showed Onyx and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter!
