“Great experience!!! Josh goes over and above to give exceptional service. Both my boys were spoiled and treated well. First time using Josh and will definitely rebook in the future.”


“Abi was amazing with Tater! Everything went perfect from the pre-visit, drop off, stay and pick up. Abi sent updates and pictures every day and throughout the day. We never had to reach out and ask how Tater was doing. We had to ask to extend Taters stay due to our flight being cancelled and rebooked. Abi was super flexible and allowed us to extend our stay. Tater was happy and relaxed when we picked her up from Abi. This was such a great experience! We will definitely be rebooking with Abi the next time we need a sitter for Tater.”

My big pup has met new pup friends & I am pleased!!! Will definitely be my go to guy for my big pup!!! Thanks again & God bless you!!!”


“Lori was amazing with my senior dog! She took great care of him and showed him lots of love. She took the time to introduce him to her fur babies slowly so he could acclimate a bit. He had an accident on his last day and she gave him a bath and kept him calm and comfortable. Could not recommend her enough!”


“This family is amazing! We left for a week shortly after rescuing our new dog. I was worried how he would transition being placed somewhere for a week after just settling in a new home. All my worries faded away after the meet and greet. My pup acted right at home with their entire family. He even learned to play and socialized with their sweet dog. I received constant communication and so many sweet pics and videos of him playing, napping, cuddling, being loved on, etc. Nikole and her family will always be my go to for puppy care when away. I’m a customer for life! Thanks for everything!”



“Lucinda was great with our 3 year old Lab. We were able to meet her a few weeks prior to our vacation. Communication was excellent and we got daily updates. Drop off and pick up was a breeze. I would highly recommend!”


“Zoë is very sweet & knowledgeable when it comes to doggies! She took such great care of my little golden and kept me informed throughout the day each day on how she was doing with messages and photos. I would highly recommend Zoë for any/all of your doggie needs! :)”


“I’ve been really happy with how Kaitlyn takes care of our Labradoodle. She’s great about keeping us updated and our girl loves going over there! I will continue using Kaitlyn whenever I need a sitter.”



“Shelby has a love for dogs where you need not worry about your fur-baby in her care. She opened her home and her heart to our little dog. The pictures she sent during our away time, let us know that JoJo was content and happy. Administering his medication was no problem for Shelby. As an added bonus, she had washed his bowls and laundered his blanket and packed ready for pickup. We sincerely recommend Shelby’s home for your dog’s vacation while you are away!”


“She was sweet and caring with seven , he enjoyed being with her . The homemade dog cookies was his favorite . I will definitely use her often going forward. Caroline is an awesome rover care for your pet! She loves them like her own..! 10/10 🫶🏽🥰”


“Cooper had a great time. Lots of pics sent everyday which made it really nice. It’s always hard to leave your buddy but seeing pics of your dog having a great time and being spoiled makes it much easier. Think my dog has found a best friend with Rachel’s black lab. Kinda felt bad separating them. I highly recommend Rachel if you need your pet cared for.”


“Gabriel was absolutely AMAZING!! Will definitely recommend him and book with him again. It was the first time we were away from the dogs and Gabriel was so very patient and understanding. You could really tell he and his family are true dog lovers! Huge appreciation!!”


“Penny and the whole family are super sweet and perfect to watch your dog my dog Sherman warmed up very quickly and even slept with her teenage son. Definitely will use them again because I have busy work weeks at times. Sherman is a bit much sometimes when he sees other dogs a bit reactive but Penny kept an eye on him and never went out without his leash and collar and made sure all dogs weren't out. He had a blast came home and ran around like a puppy again. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Gianna — a lifelong animal lover with a dream of becoming a veterinarian. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, so I’m confident with everything from playful puppies to senior sweethearts. I offer flexible availability, including walks, drop-ins, overnights, and plenty of cuddle time. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or just a loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. Animals are my passion, and your pet’s comfort and safety always come first! I’m currently a flight attendant but I usually only do day trips so I’m always available after or before work. I know my schedule a head of time so that will never be an issue. I’ve grown up always having dogs and cats but since moving out I don’t have any. So I currently don’t have any animals as of now.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I have 2 large super friendly dogs whom I’m obsessed with! It’s their world, I’m just living in it ;) I am a teacher no longer on summer break, so my availability is now mostly weekends. I work for JCPS, so have no issue traveling across the bridge. Available on the weekends, but can discuss week days. I have 2 very friendly dogs that will keep yours company. I will treat your baby like they are my own. I do not have a fenced in yard, so I never let mine out on their own. I have a rescue that I always take out on a leash, because I do not trust him to stay with me. I will also always keep yours on a leash. We go on a long walk in the mornings and evenings, with many potty breaks/short walks throughout the day.

About: I have a special place in my heart for animals especially dogs. I have always had dogs that have grew up with me. I have 3 of my own - golden doodle/Nala, poodle/mylee, golden retriever/Molly. I love every breed. I have kept my friends and family’s dogs over night while they are out of town and they love to play with my dogs. My dogs are very pet friendly with other dogs. I enjoy taking them on the walking trails. I work as a CNA as needed. So I have a lot of time on my hands and I would love to have a side job and this I believe is perfect for me. I feed my dogs once a day around 5pm it helps keep them at a healthy weight. I give them treats when they come inside after they potty. I live out in the country so they have plenty of space to run. I will do whatever you need me to do with your pets you just tell me!

Gianna P.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Gianna P. as a caregiver. She has provided safe, loving, and reliable care for my large dog during long workdays and frequent travel. Gianna is attentive, responsible, and incredibly warm—qualities that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She consistently went above and beyond, ensuring my dog felt comfortable, exercised, and cared for. Her thoughtful communication and natural ability to connect make her a standout not just as a pet caregiver, but as a person. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

She is very dedicated in the things she does considering she’s in healthcare and cares for old people and she’s has taken care of dogs before for family and friends and even has some of her own. Without a doubt I know she would be the best to take care of dogs and even mine.”
