“I couldn't be happier with Kat and the care she gave my 2 pups. She got to know them and their personalities. My senior pup has special needs and she gave him the care he needed. My home was well cared for, too. I look forward to using her in the future.”

“We love having Breana stay with or pups when we go out of town. She does a wonderful job making sure they get enough exercise outside & spends time with each dog. They are always happy and healthy when we get back :)”

“Whitney was so great with my pup! She kept his routine, communicated really well and sent plenty of pictures. Being away is never easy but she made it just easier not having to stress about my pup or home while I was away. Will definitely have her watch my pup in the future!”

“Kimber stayed in my home and took care of my animals for 2+ weeks. They all seemed healthy and happy when I arrived home and the house was nice and clean. She also communicated well during my time away. Thanks again!”


“Lisa took excellent care of our senior Frenchie. Our dog takes doily medication and becomes very anxious when we travel. When we returned from our trip, our dog acted as if we had never been away, and our house was in the same clean condition as when we left.”

“This is our first time using Rover and we were Beyond pleased! John was very attentive in texting us and sending pictures letting us know that everything was being well taken care of while we were away. Looking forward to using the service again and hoping John is available!”

“We all loved Jana! My husband and I felt a sense of peace knowing our boy was in great hands the whole time we were away. We would highly recommend her and will be booking again.”

“Jessica was such a refreshing change! Porter loved her and she also left the house cleaner than when I left. My pup is a very spoiled/particular child and she listened to his needs and met them all. Thank you Jessica and welcome to the family. We will rebook with you again very soon!”

“Bella did a fantastic job watching my puppy, Pistol. She came and met us before the booking began. She kept me informed the whole time and sent pictures. I came home to a very happy dog, and I will definitely be scheduling her again!”

“I was really worried about my two girls Rajah and Zoe (boxers). Rajah and Zoe are very attached to mommy and daddy. We don’t leave them that often simply because of age and medical conditions. Rajah and Zoe toke to Brittney when we did a first meet and once again a few days before we left town for the weekend and they were completely comfortable with her and even my cat toke her, and he normally doesn’t take to strangers right away. Brittney responded to my text with in a reasonable amount of time when I messaged her. So, yes we would use Brittney again.”

About: I have had pets in my life ever since I was little. So I love helping take care of them. I also am very good with puppies and teaching them new tricks, and helping with potty train. I also love helping keep dogs very active, or just chill with them and cuddle! I am a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of free time. All days of the week are good for me. I’m even available on weekends if needed. I have a fenced in backyard. I also have a dog of my own, who loves to play with others and gets along with all sizes. He loves to share his toys or just play together. Or if it’s in your own home, anywhere your fur baby loves to play! I also have dog parks around for your baby to play with or without others, and a nice neighborhood to walk around. Or we can walk around your neighborhood as well!
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and truly consider them family. I currently have two Labrador Retrievers and have cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities over the years. As a big dog lover, I’m especially comfortable with large breeds, energetic pups, and strong walkers—but I also provide gentle, patient care for seniors and pets who need a little extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong hands-on experience and genuine love for animals. I understand pet behavior, routines, and the importance of consistency, exercise, and affection. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s puppy playtime and basic training reinforcement, medication administration, senior care, or simply providing companionship and reassurance while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. I am currently working from home. I have ample time to fit your loved furry family member into my schedule. I am very flexible throughout the week and weekends. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, needs, and personality. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining consistency so pets feel safe and comfortable. In my client’s home, I follow their established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and medications. I make sure pets receive plenty of affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. When pets are in my home, they are treated like part of the family in a safe, loving environment. I ensure they get appropriate exercise, enrichment, rest, and supervision, while respecting any special instructions, dietary needs, or behavioral considerations. Above all, I care for every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times.

About: I have had taken care of/lived with various dog breeds, and have walked and raised dogs since I can remember. I recently began volunteering at Alaqua walking and playing with dogs, and I have experience dog sitting and walking my neighbors dogs. I have worked with puppies, middle aged dogs, older dogs, both big and small! I love dogs unconditionally and I will do everything in my power to ensure they stay spoiled and happy :). I work part-time closing shifts at my job, so I am available for early mornings and late nights. I work whenever I am scheduled, but I am always off on Wednesdays! My normal shift is normally 4pm-10pm, so I am available to dog sit, check-in, or walk before and after my shift! I cannot care for pets at my own home, but I will ensure that when I come to your home, I will keep it looking good as new. I am a chronic dish washer if any dishes or slight cleaning needs to be made. I am also no stranger to accidents that dogs are prone to, as one of my past dogs had a sensitive stomach, especially when it came to my carpeted floors. I will do whatever your dog wants to do, but my favorite aspect of it all is to ensure that the dog is happy and to make a connection with them. I love being active and playing, but I can also just simply snuggle up with them.
“Taylor did a fantastic job! We had never left our boy before and were so worried. Taylor took great care of him, sent photos, and spoiled him while she was here. This helped us to relax while we were gone, knowing he was well cared for and spoiled.”

About: I’ve always grown up around dog’s and adopted my senior dog 10 years ago as of May 5th, I understand a dog’s need for affection and schedule, enforced by my strong belief's in responsibility, care, and punctuality! I’m a college student in town for the summer looking for something to do part time that I love driven by my love for dogs! I have a small dog who is very friendly, who is walked daily from 4-5pm at Frank brown in addition to regular dog park visits if granted permission by pet parents!
“Kristina was very good with my two little dogs. Sent pictures daily. She also house set for me. The house was clean and even washed and remade the bed. I was gone 8 days. Kristina was pleasant to talk to and understood all my must haves for my babies. Will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve owned a few dogs growing up and I took care of feeding, bathing, and walking them every day and walks were every other day. I’m off work usually by 4:00, Monday through Friday but have weekends off. Your fur babies are welcome into our home whenever a play date is scheduled or if you need a weekend get away I’m more than happy to come to your home to take care of them. Their comfortability is my #1 priority. I make sure while I am at the owners home I either take their dog(s) on a walk or if there’s a yard go outside and play for 30-40 min to get the zoomies out; then go back inside, feed and relax, outside break one more time before I leave.

Jessica did a fantastic job for us... Jack-Jack loved on her, just like he does on us. We could tell that she is a true dog lover... The care she gives is exceptional and our home was also taken great care of. We definitely will be using Jessica again. Thank you for the wonderful Service.

We used Ms. Kat so we could attend our daughter's wedding and were gone for 4 days. She was wonderful with our Jebby and Daisy and always sent pictures. Kat went above and beyond, as she even washed the bedding, etc. We highly recommend using her, and she most definitely gets 5 stars from us. Thank you so very much Ms. Kat

This past week was the first time I have left my 2 labs overnight and was a bit nervous. Marina not only met my girls ahead of her scheduled time, she went way above my expectations. My labs loved her and I will definitely be using her again. She made my being gone very easy.

My dog is so shy around new people, especially in our home so I was so worried. Laquan came to the house and met up with us multiple times before my trip to help get her used to being around a new person. By the time we went on our trip and came back to town, she had gotten so comfortable with him. We’re so grateful for all his help, patience and understanding! We could tell she was taken care of well while we were gone!
