“Bayley did a great job with all 3 of our dogs! She came over in the morning for breakfast; as we needed help because our reg dog-sitter's schedule changed. She jumped right in and was very flexible! Def will use Bayley again!!”

“Olivia has been excellent with our fur babies. She is very prompt, caring, and loving with each one. She’s an excellent communicator and sends prompt updates. We couldn’t ask for more. Pleasantly pleased pet owners, Thank You…”

About: Some Senior Care Magic hands with dogs Feeding and Nutrition I have some experience with giving medications, but please tell me what works best for your pet. I currently am working part time for the summer so I will be able to check with your pets late at night and early morning. The most they'll be alone will probably be 5 hours. Most of time they won't be alone for Sundays. In your home, I'll make sure to walk them outside and if you have a backyard we'll play outside. We'll also play in any surrounded parks.
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”

“Brooklynn was lovely from start to finish! She kept us updated with photos and was very prompt and responsive with communication. We could tell she really takes the responsibility seriously and really loves animals :-) Definitely planning to rebook in the future!”

“William did a great job with my two cats! Communication was very good and easy, and my kitties seemed to really like him immediately! I will absolutely rebook.”

“Monique has been our trusted dog sitter for a couple of months now and we intend to keep hiring her going forward! She is on time, never misses a booking, and is flexible with our crazy schedules. Her care for our young, crazy puppy has lifted a lot of stress off of my wife and I with our full-time jobs. We highly recommend Monique.”

“Really grateful to Makenzie for stopping by to take care of my fur babies. She kept in contact with me to let me know what was going on, wrote notes on everything she did and gave my babies attention and fed them while I was out of town. She was nice enough to do a meet and greet before I left so I could make sure my big dog would be alright and he immediately wanted her attention when she walked in my door. Will 100% book with her again!”


About: I have an excellent, warm, and inviting home in which I would happily watch your dog while you travel. I'm a writer and vo artist who mostly works from home, so your dog won't be lonely; that's for sure. In addition, I take an hour long walk in Audubon Park every single day, so if your dog is up to it, he/she will get plenty of healthy exercise. And for those that aren't able to make the big walk, we do smaller little walks in the neighborhood plenty of times per day. I love dogs, and would care for yours as if it were my own, so please don't hesitate if you have any specific questions for me, and thank you for giving me a look! ~Matt *Please note that I have relocated to Kentucky from California so please enjoy these pics from my previous home, filled with my furry friends. I mostly work from home, so your pet will not be lonely. Spending a lot of time at home, I really enjoy the company of dogs. I go on walks throughout the day and try to keep a calm environment filled with routine. I follow what the pet needs at the direction of the owner.
“Eleanor was fantastic! She sent us pictures from each drop-in and even picked up some pillow fluff that the dogs destroyed. Could not be happier with having her for our babies while we had to be gone.”

About: I have years of experience providing reliable and passionate pet care for all ages and sizes. I am also experienced in puppy training, senior care, and providing medication if needed. I take the utmost care to ensure that your pup's safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. I work from home so I am flexible in that regard. I can take my work around any space if needed and work around your schedule. I clean up after pets thoroughly as well as provide them with lots of potty breaks and exercise. I never have them meet new dogs for their safety.
“Kegan is great. Flexible, and loves on our Pit Bull just the way we'd love on her. Even plays tug of war with her, and that takes some strength of body, that's for sure. Glad we found Kegan on Rover.”
