“Ellen is AMAZING! My dog is kind of high maintenance and she ensured my instructions were followed! Double checked medications and sent plenty of updates! Java came home happy and healthy. I will be using her whenever I’m in town! 5 ⭐️ care and love for the fur baby! Thank you!😊”

“Cheryl watched my 13+ year old tri-ped for 2 weeks. He was well taken care of, she recognized when his remaining back leg was too tired for a 2nd walk of the day. Took care with him during thunderstorms. My dog and hers got along well. I absolutely would and will book with her again.”
“Dogs were very well taken care of and seemed happy when we picked them up. They sent updates and pictures during their weekend stay. We will definitely use them in the future.”
“Christine was amazing with our 11 yr. old pitbull. She gave him lots of love, attention and extra care when he was anxious. Christine treated him as one of her own. She sent pics and updates every day. Responded In a timely manner and even helped us feel less anxious while being away. She follows directions and uses good discernment. Highly recommend Christine and will definitely have her watch our pup if needed.”
“Alexandra and her family spoiled my dog with attention in the best way possible. Alexandra gave me frequent updates and photos so I could know my dog was in great hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a safe, fun, welcoming home for their doggo to crash at!”
“Kimberly was very informative from the moment she met Rylee. I appreciate how she sent updates throughout my week long trips. The photos she sent often put me at ease. Kimberly was very patient with Rylee as well. Thank you again for taking care of her!”
“Susan made me feel very comfortable leaving Cora with her. You can tell she is a true animal lover! She sent updates and pictures and Cora was well looked after. We’ll use her again!”
“This was my first time with Rover and Lashyia was great!! She worked through my meet and greet, and gave constant updates while I was out of town. I felt very comfortable with my baby girl being with her and her baby girl. I will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Cari was absolutely wonderful & I cannot say enough good things about her! She kept Charlie while my husband and I took a 10-day trip, and being a “pandemic puppy” I was terrified about leaving him, but Cari put me at ease. Her gentle, calm, nurturing demeanor was exactly what we all needed. She was fantastic about providing updates, took him on lots of walks, and spoiled him like he was her own. I was so nervous about leaving an already nervous dog, but by the end of our trip, Charlie and Cari were fast friends! I am so grateful we found Cari and will definitely book her again for our future travels!”
“As any pet owner knows, finding a sitter you can completely trust is like striking gold. It’s not just about a service—it’s about finding someone who genuinely cares for your furry family member. I recently had the incredible good fortune to find Haley, who took amazing care of our dog, Polly. The peace of mind she gave us was invaluable. From the start, Haley was an amazing communicator, providing us with updates that let us know Polly was happy, safe, and loved. You can tell she genuinely cares deeply about every animal she welcomes into her home. Polly was happy and well-adjusted upon her return, which is the best indicator of the loving and attentive environment Haley provides. We are truly beyond grateful for her exceptional care. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter. We're already looking forward to Polly's next stay with her in the near future!”
“Olivia did a great job. Our dog seemed to settle in with her just fine. Good daily updates. We appreciated that we felt we could trust her with our family pet while on vacation. We would love to use her services again. Thanks Olivia for taking care of our girl.”
“Rosemary always seems to have a great time and comes back happy. Chris is friendly and easy to work with - really happy to have a place we can count on to board Rose and know she's in great hands. Thank you!”
“Kasey sent wonderful videos and was in contact regularly. My baby girl was happy and I can't ask for more. I will be back and I highly recommend her for taking care of your fur baby.”
“Alice was great this weekend while I was out of town for two days! My two dogs appeared to be very happy with her and were happy as usual when I picked them up! Alice is a great communicator, shared fun pics of my pups while I was gone and was informative. I will happily use her services again!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats. I grew up with a loving cat who was my constant companion, which sparked my lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve owned and cared for a sweet cat, an energetic Chocolate Labrador, a gentle giant Bullmastiff full of love, and even two lively Chihuahuas at the same time! From playful small breeds to big cuddly dogs and independent cats, I’m comfortable and confident providing attentive, affectionate care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have pet sit for several friends and neighbors just not officially on Rover! I work full-time and walk several times a day throughout the neighborhood and have tons of energy. I will love on your fur baby like no other and give them lots of love and attention! I am sure to share details, pictures, videos and provide a play-by-play of your pets activities, mood, and pee/poo schedule :) very trustworthy and reliable!
“Jackie is very sweet and kind. She took wonderful care of Luna for 10 days while we were away. She was very responsive to messages and sent pictures to show us how Luna was doing. I'll definitely call on Jackie again in the future.”
“Paige was available to board my Husky pup "Kai" at the last minute over the 4th of July weekend which was extremely helpful. She was very accommodating and gave Kai lots of attention. Paige also sent updates and photos throughout the weekend which was fun! Kai had a great visit and was pretty whooped when I picked her up at the end. I would recommend Paige and would absolutely use her again.”

My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.
Debra was great with our dog and her dog and ours got along really well. Debra did a great job with our special needs. She also communicated very well regarding how the stay was progressing. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned and it was apparent our dog enjoyed her stay. Thanks, Debra!
Alsacia took care of our cat Monty and dog Bear while we were out of the country and we couldn't be happier with the job she did. Both are a handful to take care of and she was more than up to the task. She was communicative, reassuring, professional, flexible, and a delight overall. We will be rebooking with her in the future!
Olivia was absolutely amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone and was very nervous about it. Olivia was patient and understanding. Sent us lots of pictures and updates. She tried hard not just to make us feel comfortable but also our baby. Would not hesitate to use Olivia’s services again and a huge, thank you!
