“Amazing! Murphy felt so comfortable around Abbey and did a great job getting him tired. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Ariel and his girlfriend are so amazing with Rocky! He had such a great time with them for daycare and I felt so comfortable with them from the first day we met. Ariel is very communicative sending updates and pics throughout the day! I will definitely be rebooking!”



“Lori is amazing as always! I have a new puppy and Lori took great care of her like she has her big sister for so many years. Both my older dog and my puppy literally drag me into Lori's house because they love her and her family sooo much! It's really great! Thank you Lori! You truly are the best of the BEST! 😊”


“Savannah is wonderful! She took great care of our dog and kept us updated with pics during day care. Our dog adores her and he’s always in good hands with Savannah. 10/10 will always recommend Savannah to friends and family.”

“I’ve been sending my dog to Virginia for day care since I work and wanted him to be more active during the day. I was skeptical at first to send keep him to a strangers house all day but I am so happy with how much she cares for Toby throughout the day. Toby loves her so much and has a blast throughout the day. A day full of walks, belly scratches, play time, and fun. Could not recommend her more. She is very flexible with hours as well, which helps a lot with my work schedule. If you book through her, I promise you won’t want to book with anyone else!”


“Matt was great - he sent me pictures of my dog everyday and was quick to respond when I asked how my dog was. I will definitely use him again !!”

“Ryan is the man, it was our first time on Rover. We had to find someone last minute and Ryan came through for us ❤️. We never left our fur baby with anyone before. 💯 Trust from the start . Good man.”


“Keith clearly loves dogs and did a wonderful job with my French Bulldog. Will not hesitate to utilize Keith again.”


About: Hi, I’m McKay—lifelong dog-lover, proud pup parent (George, Golden Retriever, 80 lbs), and now working from home full-time. With 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, I create a loving, structured, and fun-filled atmosphere in my apartment home. I work from home Monday - Friday and am available for drop in visits, daycare or boarding for your fur baby. As a dog mom myself, it's easy to incorporate another pup into my day-to-day. I’ll treat your fur baby just like my own: - Constant attention and supervision while working remotely - Frequent potty breaks (every 4–8 hrs) and daily walks/playtime in safe neighborhood or fenced area - Positive reinforcement and gentle handling - Regular photo updates and open communication so you’re always in the loop

“So fortunate to have found Rachel. She has a cozy comfortable place for my two dogs. Her two cats and one dog are so sweet and friendly. I’d recommend her a hundred times.!”


About: I grew up with dogs and I always love helping out my friends and family when they need pet sitters or walkers. I helped my parents' dog recover and rehabilitate from an ACL reconstruction surgery. I am a medical professional who is experienced in emergency situations. I am in an apartment near the Manatee River with my girlfriend and puppy, Flynne. Flynne loves making friends with new dogs and puppies. I work during the morning into the afternoons as of now. I'm pretty free most days after 1pm but would try to make things as convenient as possible for you and your pup. Near my apartment complex is a beautiful trail along the Manatee River. I have a lot of space to walk away from traffic and avoid the busy streets.

About: I’ve been passionate about working with animals for years. In high school, I volunteered at my local animal shelter, helping with tasks like cleaning cages, feeding animals, walking dogs, and socializing them. During undergrad, I led a student organization at CU Boulder called Collar Scholars, where we partnered with Canine Companions to help raise and train puppies to become future service dogs. Now, as a medical student at USF Morsani College of Medicine, I’ve continued that passion by starting a new club modeled after Collar Scholars. I also currently volunteer with therapy dogs at the hospital, where we greet and comfort patients. In addition to that, I have experience working with a wide range of animals, including senior pets and dogs with medical conditions like diabetes. My love for animals runs deep and continues to be an important part of my life. I’m currently a medical student with a very flexible summer schedule, as most of my studying is done from home. I’m available for check-ins and playtime with your pups in the mornings, midday, and evenings, and I’m generally free on weekends as well! I follow instructions very well and understand that your pup's safety is at the upmost importance since I also have two dogs back home that I care about as a fellow family member. I also believe its my duty to respect your home and leave it the way you left it if not better.

“Akshata took really good care of Bella! She sent pictures of Bella sleeping and playing and she was having fun! When I picked her up at night she was super happy. Thank you Akshatha!”


“Fantastic communication and dog skills. Recommend to all.”



“Luna and Xena had a fabulous day with Thais, Kevin and their new pals Linda and Bart! We had to go out of town for the afternoon - evening and wouldn’t be back until 10 pm that evening. They were so accommodating - and sent regular updates and pictures throughout their stay. Xena was in her glory as she got to enjoy the pool. The dogs all seemed to get along so well, and when we picked up the girls, they were very happy and very tired from an exciting day. We can’t wait to bring them back and we highly recommend them.”

“McKay has watched Cooper multiple times now and we will continue to hire her every time we go out of town! Cooper absolutely adores her and her dog, George. (Literal full blown excitement to the point where he will jump in her car trying to go home with her when she pulls up). He has so much fun, it’s his own vacation while we are on vacation and I can leave with peace of mind that McKay takes care of Cooper like he is her own! McKay does an amazing job of providing lots of photo and video updates so we can see his cute face while we are gone. HIGHLY recommend to anyone out there looking for a sitter that goes above and beyond.”
