“I recently hired LaShell as a dog sitter, and I couldn't be more pleased! She showed genuine care for my dog, LaShell engaged my pup with fun activities and ensured Puggo returned home happy. Her flexibility and professionalism were impressive. I highly recommend LaShell for anyone seeking a reliable and loving dog sitter!”

About: I’m an active person that knows how to take care of animals. I have an Belgian Malinois that is super active and know how to interact with high maintenance dogs. I work from home 4 out of 5 days. Have plenty of free time to do drop ins or animal sit for the day or night. Currently I don’t have animals stay at my house but willing to go to your house for drop ins or pet sitting for any day of the week.
About: I have had dogs, cats and birds my entire life. I will treat your fur babies as I would treat my own. Nothing but love I am at home all day as I am an artist. And work from home. I work out of the home 3 evenings a week. I have a large back yard. It is not fenced in but I do have a 25ft lead or I can simply walk them. I have 2 pet parakeets and a Great Dane that recently went to heaven at almost 12. Pets are always allowed on my couches and beds and I miss the snuggles.
About: Growing up, I was constantly surrounded by different kinds of animals. At one point, my family had two ferrets, a rabbit, a dog, and three cats! I truly have been loving and caring for pets for as long as I can remember. I have extensive experience caring for several different breeds of dogs, including Pitties and a Doberman, as well as cats of all kinds. Currently, I am the proud mom of two of the sweetest kitties, Bean and Hippo. As a kitten, Bean dealt with a rare reaction to the sutures used during her spay. A month after adopting her, a wound appeared near her spay site. Vets repeatedly told us they had exhausted all options and could not do anything further to help close the wound; however, I was determined. After countless doctor's visits, medication, several weeks in a cone, AND almost a year wearing a special shirt for cats that I had found, she miraculously healed! I understand the weight of caring for another living being and am always ready to go the extra mile to ensure that the animals in my care are living the happiest and healthiest lives possible. I would love the opportunity to provide companionship and personalized care for your furry friend! I am my household's manager and create my own work schedule. Because of this, I am able to account for any pet bookings relatively quickly and with ease! I am generally flexible and willing to work with you in regard to scheduling. In my opinion, pet care is personal to the pet! Every pet has different emotional and physical needs. I am more than happy to provide walks, potty breaks, meal time, attention, and play time, as well as any other pet-specific needs that are discussed and agreed upon. Your pet's safety and health is absolutely my number one priority, and I am happy to provide regular updates and pictures during my time with them!
“Janet is the best! Very reliable, timely, and always informative. Thoroughly reports on each cat each visit. She makes sure their litter is super clean and they remain well fed and attended. My first choice always!”
“Julia is the absolute best. Booked on short notice and my two year old lab had an amazing time with her. Provided timely updates and photos throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again!”

Piney Knolls pet parents share their Rover experiences
Emily was amazing! She was very communicative and FaceTimed with us before we left to make us comfortable. She sent us great pictures and was able to get our very shy cat to love her. Highly recommend if you want someone to care about your cats like they are their own!
Joy is such a wonderful pet sitter! I was so relieved when joy accepted to pet drop in on my hound and cats. Very attentive and responsive. Loves spending time with animals and is a comfort to have looking after your pets! Perfectly on time and doesn't over stay. I trust her 100% with my fur babies. Absolutely will be booking again!
Kiera was wonderful. She bonded quickly with Cary and she would greet Kiera at the door with her “purr engine” humming. I really appreciated the pictures that she sent. I highly recommend Kiera. Her love of all animals is quite apparent. I don’t often leave on trips, but Kiera is at the top of my list when I do. Five stars. Would hire again.
Alexis went above and beyond on the tasks requested and even stayed extra time with my cats which was very kind of her! She was punctual and responsible and my cats warmed up to her immediately. I was able to have peace of mind during my trip. I would definitely rebook with Alexis and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.
