“Melissa was a lifesaver! We were already out of town when our planned pup-sitter had to unexpectedly cancel the morning of! I had never used Rover but had no other options and I’m just so glad I did! I requested an immediate visit and Melissa was right on it! Within the hour I had pics of my doggo living her best life and the text communication was beyond what I could’ve imagined. I was updated when she accepted our request, when she was on her way, multiple times while she was here during her 30 minute visit, and when she was heading out. I was so at peace knowing my girl was being loved on and taken care of even by a complete stranger who I just felt so comfortable with from the very beginning. Will absolutely request Melissa’s services again! So so grateful!”

“Liliana came for a meet and greet and was very kind and was kind and attentive. She watched Archie for an hour, walked him and gave him lunch. We felt comfortable knowing he was in great hands!”

“Amanda was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her, and she was incredibly kind and attentive. She truly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well cared for. Her communication was great which made everything so much easier. I would recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and exceptional pet care!”

“Kari was excellent! We were nervous about leaving our fur babies but she set our mind at ease and went above and beyond! Lots of pictures and even got our most nervous dog to trust her! Will definitely book again!”

“Lillian was very helpful with my animals. She was on time for each visit and did some extra playing with my animals which I really appreciate she communicated with me very well if she wasn’t sure about anything, but she did an amazing job and my animals loved her. Definitely will be booking with her again.😊😊😊😊😊”

“Heather was absolutely wonderful with our 2 dogs! She responds quickly, sent us pictures from her drop ins, and my dogs LOVED her!! We will definitely hire her next time we need care for our dogs!”

About: I’ve pet-sat for family and friends for years. From puppies to seniors, single dogs to packs, dachshunds to pit bulls. I am man’s best friend’s favorite caretaker. My current full-time job keeps a very predictable schedule, allowing me to be reliable and consistent in the time I am able to spend with your four-legged family members. I am very respectful of your space and very caring for your dogs. Any specific instructions are followed to the letter. Playtime is constant and bathroom breaks frequent. Any questions feel free to ask!
“This is my second time booking with Dewayne and he is absolutely great. This was a last minute booked I needed and Dewayne came to the rescue. He even went out of him way to do my dishes so I came home to a clean house. Thank you so much!”

“Shayla was so great! Kept me up to date on everything, videos and pictures along with potty breaks were sent! Made my work day a lot less stressful knowing my puppy had had a potty break and some time to run around instead of in her kennel all day! Will definitely use Shayla again!!”

“Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with. Her visits are well documented with cute pics and detailed information about the visit. Her comfortability level with the bully breed was a huge plus! I highly recommend Shannon's services. Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.”
