2. Niratcha L.

“Niratcha was kind to book our dog Sunny for day care on less than 24 hour notice. Very nice fenced in yard with 2 sweet huskies. Provided lots of photos and videos. Sunny did not want to leave.”


3. Taylor Z.

“Taylor took incredible care of our puppy for the day. She made sure she was comfortable in her home and also provided many social opportunities for her. We will definitely be rebooking soon!”


4. Caitlin D.

“Catkins was so good with Coco. She was patient and followed all my instructions for my puppy. I was so scared to leave her with her because of me not knowing her but she was very gentle and kind with my puppy. She updated me as often as I liked.”


5. Katie J.
“When meeting Katie is clear she LOVES dogs and would go the extra mile to care for pets in her care. I would not hesitate to place our dog in her care!”


6. Coco W.

“Coco is a very affectionate but articulate person. She will give any dog, cat or even hamster all the love in the world and will ensure that they receive the best possible care. For example, one time Coco was caring for my 16 year old elderly dog Biscuit. Biscuit had a lot of problems and was unable to see and hear very well. Because of this, Biscuit is as very timid towards those she did not know. When Coco came over to my house to take care of Biscuit, Coco ensured that Biscuit was fed the right type of food an d had the appropriate amount of play time. Coco was able to gain the trust of Biscuit and even had Biscuit snuggling next to her on the couch. Biscuit never did that in her old age, especially with strangers! Coco will leave your dog healthy and very well loved once she is done watching them, just like she did with my Biscuit.”


7. Ryan D.

“Ryan provided great care for Dahlia once again and she came back very happy and tired. Dahlia gets along great with Cooper and is one of her favorite dogs to play with :) thanks Ryan and Allison!”


8. Norma & Kane G.

“I cannot recommend Norma enough as a dog sitter on Rover! She provided exceptional care for Dre during his day stay. Norma was attentive, caring, and showed genuine love for animals. She kept me updated throughout the day with photos and messages, giving me peace of mind. Dre came back happy and well taken care of. I will definitely book with Norma again in the future. Thank you, Norma, for your outstanding service!”

About: Hello, I'm a dog lover, of all breeds, big and small and everything in between. I truly believe that your precious canine/feline will be truly at home with me. Animals off all sizes and breeds are special to me and also to God. I know I have a couple less than desirable reviews, but they were total misunderstandings. Unfortunately they stay on my page which makes me so sad because it gives me great joy to be there and stand in the gap for these precious animals. I also watch caged pets. I am very flexible, available at a moments notice. I love all animals and do everything in my power to accommodate. I'm not perfect but I love all animals perfectly. Another chance appreciated!!


11. Hannah W.

12. Taylor R.

13. Kara E.
“Kara has tons of experience with animals and dogs (over 20 years). She’s very caring and has a huge love for animals. She loved her own dogs very much.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs in my neighborhood for years. I had a German Shorthair Pinter I trained. I have had a umber of cats over the years. My dog now is 14 yes.! I am a retired teacher so I have the time to care for your dogs! I am available everyday. I do attend church on Sunday’s for 3 hours. Other wise I’m am home all day. First thing in the morning we are out the door for a walk around the neighborhood. We come the dogs have a fresh clean bowl of water and a treat. My dog eats around 12 o’clock. I feel his bowl up with his favorite dog food from blue buffalo. Second walk of the day is around noon outside around the neighborhood check in with some of the friends dogs and back home. We take a little nap around 2 o’clock and then back out for another walk around five. My dog gets another bowl full of blue buffalo. Sometimes he eats it and sometimes he waits and eats it later in the evening. We go out approximately between nine and 10 o’clock. The last of the day potty breaks. I try to keep the same schedule for the dogs so they know what they have to do when we go outside.

Feel free to ask any questions. Hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I work from home, so I'm available to let out pups for potty breaks or go on a short walk throughout the day. Treats are at the ready too! My pups are spoiled and receive lots of love and attention throughout the day, and so will yours! Can't wait to meet your fur baby!

About: I’ve had dogs for 18+ years and I have knowledge of what they need and can do it. Also, I’ve watched other family and friends pets before. Currently, I have a cat as well that is a year old. Currently I am staying in DeKalb for the summer and have a bunch of free time. Weekends are great opportunities for me to walk your furry friend! I have a dog at home who I feed, walk and take care of. I’ve had to make food for dogs before that isn’t only kibble and would do the same if a client had asked.
