“Our dog was very happy when we came home. And, house was spotless. Izzy is a reliable, trustworthy and caring dogsitter. We appreciated her professional communication and pics and updates while away.”


“Sheri was incredible! We couldn’t be happier with her care while watching our dog. She is truly so caring- from updates with pictures, being flexible with our travel plans and even cleaning blankets & sheets for us. So grateful for her!!”


“Olivia was great! She watched my 1.5 year old lab, Sophie, at my house overnight and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving her in Olivia’s hands. We did a meet & great beforehand so everyone felt comfortable and Olivia even brought a notebook for some notes on how to care for Sophs while I was away! I loved all the picture updates while I was gone - it was much appreciated! When I got home from my trip, it was like Sophie hadn’t missed a beat.. which just goes to show that Olivia took great care of her. Will absolutely reach out to Olivia again the next time Sophie needs a sitter. Highly recommend her to care for anyone’s pups!!”


“Lynn was absolutely amazing to my boy while I was away. She was very attentive to him and took pictures of him and sent to me to keep me updated. Will absolutely hire her again. 5 stars!”


“We were very hesitant to use Rover for the first time. But Adrianna was great! We have three dogs, two large males who cannot be in the same room. This made us very nervous to leave our pups with someone who doesn’t know them. Adrianna came over before to meet the dogs and learn how we shuffle them around to avoid contact. She was amazing and gave them all the attention they needed. We already plan to use her for future trips!”


About: My family has had dogs my whole life! I have 2 pups of my own at home. I currently volunteer for a service dog program and have puppy raised and fostered many of the program’s dogs for an extended period of time. I customize my schedule on a weekly basis according to school and my part time job. I am a college student and I work at night 2 nights a week, so my availability should be open the majority of the day. For the days you may book with me, your pup(s) will be my priority. I can crate your dog, if needed. The time spent with your dog will vary based on your daily routine, I’ll try to match it to the best of my ability!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and attention I give every dog like they’re my own. I have experience caring for puppies, high-energy breeds, and senior dogs who need a little extra patience and support. Whether it’s training a new pup or giving meds to an older dog, I make sure each pet gets personalized, safe, and loving care. My home is a calm, dog-friendly space, and I’m all about keeping tails wagging and owners worry-free! Ive grown up with pets and they were a big part of my daily life. Feeding, walking, grooming, and just spending time with them were all built into my routine. It taught me responsibility from a young age, and I really enjoyed the companionship. I definitely look forward to having pets again in the future when the timing is right. "When I cared for pets at home growing up—and when helping friends or neighbors—I always made sure their basic needs were met first: feeding, fresh water, regular potty breaks, and exercise. I paid close attention to their routines and any specific instructions, especially when helping in someone else's home. I understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and loved, whether that’s sticking to their walk schedule, administering medication if needed, or just giving them plenty of playtime and affection. Cleanliness and communication are also big priorities for me when caring for pets in someone else's space.

“Karlyn is the answer to our prayers! Seriously! We have a giant breed, a large breed and a stubborn English bulldog who is thinks he’s in charge. Karlyn clearly loves each one of them and it shows in the videos and pics she sends. Having peace of mind leaving our furry family behind is no longer a stressor for my family. Thank you Karlyn!!”
