“A trip came up and Krystal came to the rescue. Super quick in replies, and I can tell my pups just love her! Now all I have to do is contend with upset pups when I open the door and it’s not Krystal.”

“Angela was AMAZING!! Not only did she watch our two Ragdolls over the Christmas holiday, but she was so responsive to their specific dietary needs (one has prescription food) and their individual personalities. Angela is herself a cat owner and it shows! Prompt, kind, professional, and exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to book her in the future!”

“Randi did a great job caring for our three fur. We have a young puppy and she requires a little work & extra attention so we were glad Randy was there to take care of all of her needs. Randi sent us detailed messages. She also took great pictures. And she made us feel comfortable, knowing our babies were in good hands.”

“What can I say? Austin was fantastic. He read our notes on our profile before he showed up, which was impressive. His excitement to meet the animals, which means a lot to us because they're kids, means more than the drop-ins. We wish we found him earlier. If you want someone who is very sharp and very on top of his visits, please don't look anywhere else. Austin is your guy!”
“She came immediately during my last minute booking and went above and beyond for my pups! She’s a dog whisperer, I highly recommend her to anybody who needs pet services!”

“We were in a pinch and needed a dog sitter last minute, and Karynne truly saved the day. (On a holiday at that.) She got back to us right away, was so kind, and treated our pup like her own. Would highly recommend!”

“Kelsie was AMAZING! This was our first time using this service and it was the best decision we have ever made for our babies. She took care of them like they were her own. We have a challenging pup and she went above and beyond for us getting them hot dogs to try to get him to take his meds and really cared for all of them. We would absolutely use her again and are so grateful for all her energy and patience. She has excellent communication, and kept us very informed. We lived reading her updates. Don't think there is anyone who could of done a better job than her. Loved her.”

“Des is a very sweet and kind person. Definitely knew from the moment that we met her that we could trust her with our stuff and to take care of our cats. Our cats are very shy but she did a great job of making sure they were fed and attended to. I hope she will come back in the future ?.”


“Ciara is amazing! I am so glad we found her. She was available on short notice and paid extra attention to our pup. She sent pictures with visits and asked about medications which helps put my mind at ease while we are away. 100% would recommend!”

About: I worked as a kennel tech for a dog trainer for 2 years and have been volunteering with a dog rescue that saves abused and neglected dogs for the past 6 years. These experiences, as well as raising my own dogs, have given me the knowledge to work with most dogs, but my passion is working with fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs. Working on their time to gain their trust is my specialty and passion. I have experience working through basic obedience, counter conditioning, confidence building, muzzle training, gear shyness, and cooperative care. I also have experience working with dogs that require more intensive care due to feeding routines (such as making homemade food or strict feeding schedules with medications) and grooming maintenance (frequent or routine baths due to coat type or skin conditions). Know that under my care, your pup will be with someone who understands them as an individual and can meet them where they are at. I'm currently attending college online, so I'm almost always available during the week, except when I'm taking care of my own dogs. On weekends, I do market events, so I might not have as much availability throughout the day. Your dog's comfort as well as yours are my top priorities, so I do require a meet and greet before any service I provide. This allows me to meet your pet and see their behavior before a service, and lets you see how your pet feels around me. I provide daily updates with pictures, with the ability to provide more frequent updates at your request. I also strictly follow any instructions and routines laid out for me regarding a pet's care.
“Philana is a true professional while also being very personable. She took great care of my 3 cats, plants, and was considerate in brining in a delivery. I booked with her very short notice, the day before, and she truly exceeded my expectations! Very thankful to her and the care she provided. 10/10 recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals practically my whole life, from dog sitting for neighbors and family, to nurturing and raising abandoned ducklings. I’ve always had a natural affinity for animals of all sorts. I’m currently volunteering at an animal shelter near me and I’ve had over a years experience of caring for, bathing, cleaning up after, and socializing dogs and cats of all kinds. I feel very confident and comfortable around all sorts of animals with differing temperaments. I’m currently enrolled in online college so I have plenty of time for your fur babies. I will be available to walk, feed, love on, and play with your little love. I will make sure to greet your furry friend with their favorite treat(all complimentary of course) and keep them occupied while you’re away. I know how stressful and disheartening it can feel to be away from your pet, so I’ll be sure to keep them engaged in activities and I’ll make sure to send pictures and videos of them to keep your mind at ease.
“Janette has been amazing!! She’s come to let our dogs out over 10 times now and we’ll definitely continue using her! We love the puppy pics she sends when she comes over and they’re always so happy to see her!”

“Teryca was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover so didn’t know what to expect. She was really communicative and very attentive with our pup while we were out of town for a long weekend. We would definately book her again.”

“Cassie was amazing!! She took such great care of Berkeley and he loved having her kiddos help out too!! I was so happy to receive each update - Cassie is detailed and always had a good picture to send when we’re missing our boy 🥰”

“We’ve boarded Hazel with Sherilyn before, but this was our first drop in visit, and Sherilyn was awesome like always! She spent a good amount of time with Hazel, playing with her and keeping her active. She also went above and beyond when she came over and found that Hazel made a mess on the floor, Sherilyn cleaned it up for us, which was was so greatly appreciated! Thank you again Sherilyn!”

Tara is an amazing sitter for our fur babies. She is very knowledgeable and comfortable with the dogs. The dogs loved her from the moment they met her. She was fantastic in making sure our older dog took her medicine. I really appreciate that she took the time to play with them during her visits. We loved getting updates and knew our pups were in great hands. I would highly recommend Tara if you want someone who will love your dogs as much as you do.

John is one of the most courteous and caring people I have met in awhile. Roxie loved him immediately and she is not always loving toward people. She loved his visits and was obviously in great spirits when we got home. I could watch them play in out backyard on our Ring camera. Thank you, John you are highly prized, and recommended for anyone in the Selma area.

Mandy and her husband were fantastic! Our dog and cat loved them. My cat needs two pills a day and can be fussy with it, and Mandy was able to give him his pill with ease. I always received a ton a pictures of our fur babies which was amazing. I definitely recommend Mandy!!

Great communication, super flexible and my pups loved her. My pup had a run in (his first) with a fire ant mound and she sent video including location of the incident and a video of my pup. So grateful for this communication, as I was not able to access my phone at the time. Highly recommend!
