“Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!”
“Alyssa took great care of our 5 month old puppy. As it was our first experience with dog sitting, we were a little nervous, but Alyssa’s knowledge and calm energy put us at ease. Our dog had a great stay and we appreciated the pictures and updates. We will definitely book again with her!”
About: Comfortable and experienced with administering medication and caring for pets with anxiety, medical conditions, disabilities, and special needs. Rest assured instructions for care will be followed exactly. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I provide attentive, consistent pet sitting with plenty of companionship, structure, and love, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as part of my daily routine. Living in an apartment surrounded by parks, pets enjoy plenty of daily walks, outdoor time, and are always welcome to come along whenever I leave home.

“First time using rover. Experience was great! I was first unsure about using rover but Kate suggested meet and greet. My puppy adjusted quickly during meet and greet and decided to book a day. Kate sent videos and made sure Noodle had food and proper breaks. Would happily book future appointment with Kate!”
“Westin and I absolutely loved Mariana!! She was so kind and kept me up to date throughout the day along with sending adorable pictures. I felt so comfortable leaving Westin with her and he got so excited every time he saw her. Highly recommend!!”
“Matt was great with my little guy. He has a large yard for dogs to run and play. My job ran increadibly late the day Matt watched my dog and he was kind enough to let him stay overnight and got up super early for my initial drop off. Will definitely use him again next time I am in need. Thanks Matt!”
About: Coming from Texas I have grown up caregiving for animals with different needs since I can remember. I have experience in training puppies. Additionally, I have a deep understanding of the needs of senior dogs, providing them with the gentle care and attention they require. Also have experience with very high energy animals. My services are personalized to each pet’s individual needs, and I pride myself on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for all animals under my care. My commitment to constant communication with pet owners ensures peace of mind while you are away. *Can provide pick up and drop off services* I work from home throughout the week where care will take place. I only offer boarding for pets who are okay with a dog as I like to always make sure I am around caring for my dog. I currently care for my dog who absolutely haves loving any kind of animal friend around for company. I am able to provide constant updates and consistent breaks. If requested I also love to take the dogs to local fenced in private sniff spots to run and play. I have an unfenced yard outside and will take your dog out on the leash as I do with my own. I maintain a very clean sanitary environment and provide treats, pets, and toys. I closely monitor throughout visits. I establish a consistent routine for potty breaks and exercise. If I do step away I ensure my dog is kenneled for extra safety and would prefer if you do have a kennel for your pet but is also okay if you do not as long as safety is not a concern for you or they are use to being out when alone.
“Priscilla was great, she was able to help watch my dog even on short notice! She watched my dog for about 9hrs, I received frequent check ins and pictures of my dog. Great communication!”
“Dylan was very responsive and clearly cares for the pups in his care. He watched over our young puppy and shared lots of updates and photos to assure us throughout the day!”
“We have booked Kelly multiple times, and our once-anxious shih tzus were practically dragging my husband across the lawn to greet her this time. They adore “Auntie Kelly” and they were a little sad to leave Khloe behind at the end of the day. I love the regular updates and photos she sends throughout the day, and she truly cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I (still!) highly recommend her!”
About: I bring a balance of genuine love and structured discipline to every pet I care for. Animals naturally feel comfortable around me because I approach them with calm energy, patience, and real empathy—but I also know how to establish boundaries so they feel safe and secure. I have over 4 years of hands-on experience training and caring for dogs, including my own two German Shepherd–Husky mixes and a French Bulldog, all of whom are well-trained, responsive, and reliable. I personally trained my dogs to listen consistently and stay close, not just for obedience, but to ensure their safety in any environment. That same level of attentiveness carries over into how I care for every dog I work with. I’m especially comfortable with: • High-energy and large breeds that require structure and confidence • Young, active dogs who need patience and consistency on walks • Dogs that may pull or need guidance, where I stay calm and in control Because I have very active dogs myself, I’m used to long walks, structured routines, and maintaining consistency, which helps dogs feel both stimulated and secure. At the same time, I’m just as attentive and gentle with dogs who need a slower pace or extra patience. Above all, I am punctual, reliable, and detail-oriented, and I treat every pet with the same level of care and protection as my own. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while giving you full peace of mind. I’m excited to be of service and care for your pet like family. I work pretty flexibly and am available Monday through Saturday at anytime of the day, as long as I have a day’s worth of heads-up. I create a safe, structured, and loving environment for every pet while strictly following your routines and preferences. I’m very clean and organized. Your home will always be left exactly how I found it. In my own home, I maintain daily cleaning while allowing pets to feel comfortable and free. I respect all boundaries, whether that’s restricted areas, feeding schedules, or bathroom routines. Clear communication is important to me, so I make sure everything is done exactly as you prefer. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and your peace of mind always come first.
“Mollie and team have been very accommodating to our needs for our Great Dane and our questions/concerns/schedule, allowing us ample time for meet and greet and trial runs to feel comfortable. They’re very knowledgeable and seem to really have a heart for caring for pups ❤️”
“Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!”
“Jessica is amazing. She’s Waylon’s new sitter and she was so sweet with him. I was nervous about leaving him with someone because he has some anxiety but she sent me a bunch of pictures and videos and he was doing so well”
“My dog gets excited the moment we get out of the car—she remembers this place, and that says everything. She loves staying at Sherry’s, making new friends her size, and I really appreciate the consistent photo updates. Thank you, Sherry!”
“Ethan and his dog Nico took great care of Yonder! I received updates and very good photos all day while he was in Ethan’s care. Yonder came back absolutely exhausted from playing in the yard. Thanks Ethan!”
About: I have recent experience with pets of all ages and various medical needs. Their health and happiness are my utmost priorities in every care situation I mostly work hybrid this summer, which means I can work while housesitting and i have a flexible schedule to meet your pet’s needs daily. This past summer, I cared for three dogs full-time in residents house. I also welcomed two dogs into my home. I currently live in a house without a fenced yard.

Mariana was a joy to work with. Her home is welcoming, and she made sure that my boy Timothy was comfortable and fitting in with the rest of the pack before we confirmed a doggy daycare. I got lots of pictures and he was wiped out at the end of the day. I know he had tons of fun! We are looking forward to working with Mariana and her family! 🐾
Molly has been watching my dog the past few weeks and exceeds my expectations! She welcomes my girl to her home with open arms and treats her like one of her own. She keeps me updated throughout the day and even goes above and beyond by dropping my dog off at home when I work late. I am so very thankful for her & her group of pups as they keep my fur baby company throughout the day and give her the socialization and love she deserves. Thanks again Molly!
Saleen and her dude earned ten million gold stars for agreeing to watch Eliza on super short notice AND with an obnoxiously early start time. They kept me in the loop with updates and pics, and kept Eliza safe and happy while I was at work. Very grateful and will 1000% use again when the need arises.
Sherry is amazing! She kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
Sydnee has been fantastic with my pitbull named Hurley. She is very friendly and knowledgeable and shows that she cares for her animals. She sends photos and updates throughout the day and her bully breed Bronson is sooooo cute and loves to play with my dog. It's also very refreshing coming home from a long day of work and my pup was ready for a nap. Will definitely be using her services again and again.
Alyssa took great care of our 5 month old puppy. As it was our first experience with dog sitting, we were a little nervous, but Alyssa’s knowledge and calm energy put us at ease. Our dog had a great stay and we appreciated the pictures and updates. We will definitely book again with her!
Honestly they did a really good job with our girl. I could tell because when I picked her up she was fast asleep and didn't even realize I was there (she is a little hard of hearing though lol). When she realized I was there she calmly came up to me and greeted me. She wasn't anxious to leave like the last sitter's place she was at. They also took her on a bunch of short walks around the block and let her chill on their couch too. I could tell she was in very good hands. Will probably be booking again in the future!:)
Haley, thanks for giving Timmy a safe and stimulating daycare day! I can tell he had a lot of fun going on adventures in the neighborhood with you. A good balance of exercise and rest is what he loves! Thank you so much for being flexible about pick up as well, we had a wonderful time at Ren Fair and hope you get to go next year! Definitely consider booking Haley, she made my anxious boy feel safe and met all his high strung needs. Anxious and attachment issues can be challenging, but she really did put him at ease. So thankful!
