“Joie did great with our pups. She understood the instructions for care & the household without repeating. Very smooth & professional demeanor. Would definitely recommend & book again. Thanks!”
“We appreciate Tiana so much! She paid extra attention to our kitties while we went on vacation for 10 days. We know how much our kitties appreciated the time she spent with them. Tiana also gave extra attention to other things that we needed help with in the house while we were gone. We will be contacting her again for future house/kitty sitting!”
“Heidi was amazing! We had never used a pit sitter before and were super nervous about leaving our two pups. Heidi was so friendly and loving with our two dogs! She made us feel so comfortable and confident that we made the right decision! She updated us during each visit and even sent pictures! Highly recommend Heidi!!”
About: I’ve worked previously in the animal rescue field. I have experience with medication schedules, administration, grooming, nail trimming, and specialized diet/food schedules. I’ve also cared for many dogs after major surgeries. I’ve also been pet sitting since my early teens and would love to meet your pets! I work 100% remotely with a fully flexible schedule and boss! As long as my laptop connects to the internet, I can be wherever I want. I live on a 1.5 acre farm, which is currently unfenced. My dogs are off leash trained, fully vetted, and on all preventative medications they require. If you are uncomfortable with allowing your dog off leash on my property, I have leashes, moveable stake leashes, and access to plenty of water sources outside.
“Brittany is great and the dogs love her. She is courteous, takes notes on their care, and she is patient when they bark. She shows up on time and takes great pictures. We love using her.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life and taking care of them is something I’m no stranger to. I love taking care of your needs as a pet owner and ensuring you feel safe and comfortable leaving your baby in my hands! I am a full time college student involved in some extracurriculars needing that extra money to pay for school, I am pretty flexible and would love to workout a schedule with you :) I am a big animal lover and will only treat your babies with the same love and care as you! Teach me the rules and I will ensure they’re taken care of.
“2nd booking in two weeks. She cares about my dog Brian & always sends pics n feedback. She fed him per my instructions & kept my home secure. I definitely will book with her again”
About: I’ve been around dogs all my life. We grew up on a farm with 3 dogs and loved them to death. We love all dogs, all sizes. We own 2.5 acres where dogs can run and play and have an extra large utility room for grooming. Our family includes my wife and myself, our three kids and Scout, our furry baby rescue from Houston. She loves to play in the water and run with friends. I work from home so I get lots of time to play ball, walk, run and care for your furry loved one. I most enjoy throwing tennis balls and watching the dogs play chase. We have spent more money than we would like to admit, in order to best care for pups in our care. We have a 1200 sq/ft dog house with A/C, water, toys, large play area and kennels of various sizes. We are committed to providing commercial equipment to put safety as a top priority, while still offering the quality of care provided through residential boarding. We look forward to meeting dogs of all sizes and breeds. Hope our doggy retreat is as fun for your dog as it will be for us.
“Makayla was amazing ! She had great communication and made it easy for me to trust her with my cat! She sent me updates every time she went over as well as photos of him! 10/10 recommend !”
About: I have cared for animals of all sizes and kinds my whole life. I have been dog/cat/horse sitting for many years and am comfortable taking care of all animals. I grew up on a farm taking care of rescue horses, dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens. I currently have two percious dogs, Shelley and Watson. Both are rescues and my best friends. My favorite activity is playing with them in our yard and going on road trips together. I am available to walk and play with your pets as well as house sit if needed. I will check on your pet regularly and make sure they feel comfortable and at home. I am a school teacher so my summer schedule is very flexible. Please consider me for all your pet needs!
“We were very thankful to have been able to book Amelia fairly last minute. She handled our dog’s full body welcomes when she got into the house like a champ and provided an excellent rover card when her visit was over!”
About: I've taken care of many dogs ever since I was 8. My grandparents owned a medium sized dog breeding company so I would spend my time feeding, bathing, walking, nurturing, and playing with dogs and pups. I did this for many years. As of right now I am free at any time of the day/week from Sun up to Sun down allowing me to be contacted and or take care of animals at any time. I have a fenced in yard in which my dog runs around freely whenever she wants to go out and is allowed inside at all times. I take good care of any animal wether it be a dog, cat, ferret, snake, etc. and always check in with the owners if anything were to happen. I'm also very patient and caring for all animals alike.
“Zora M. was very faithful and there during the times we agreed upon! My pets loved her! Lucky Boy who will only come out with certain people, was sitting in plain view of Zora! Amazing! Thank you Zora M for our "1st" wonderful experience!”
