“Thank you so much for taking good care of Teddy and being flexible with us! We like to take Teddy with us when we can, but when we can’t, it is wonderful to have you and John to watch ninja dog! Merry Christmas!”
“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”
“Absolutely wonderful with Daisy. Great at giving her tons of love and attention, as well as sending lots updates and pictures. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend!!”
“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”
“Julia was awesome! Sent lots of pictures, was super quick to respond and gave lots of updates! We met Scout a few days before so our dogs could adjust, and that put us at ease leaving them for so many nights.”
“Dasha (and her little lady) were fantastic! Not only did she take great care of my 150-lb beast of a lapdog, she also took great care of my home. My house and my pup…both were like I hadn’t been gone at all. It’s obvious she treats the dogs in her care with lots of love and laughter. I can’t recommend her strongly enough!”
“Laura has been amazing for our Leo! He had a scary incident the day of boarding and she was still up for having him. He loved it there and could be his own self, relaxed and playful. She takes amazing care of all the dogs she has and respects if some dogs need a little calmer start or whatever they needs might be that day! 10/10”
“Our pet sitter had an emergency 24hrs before our trip, leaving us in a bind. Brett’s response time was less than 8hrs. We received picture updates and Brett was extremely responsive via text. We will definitely be back!”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”
“Juyne was so great with my little pup! She sent so many updates, I felt like Winnie was very comfortable and getting very spoiled! Will use Juyne again for sure and we are picky about who we leave our fur baby with!”
“Hailie has boarded our dog Cooper several times and has been very attentive and personable to work with. It's more like a close friend watching our dog rather than "boarding" him. He gets excited to go to her house and she has been flexible and understanding with unpredictable booking conflicts. We will continue to call on Hailie for our Cooper's "babysitting" needs😁”
“Amber was a sweet, patient and caring sitter for our senior dog with lots of special needs. She cared for Ellie as if she was her own and was happy to accommodate all of Ellie's needs. Amber kept us updated on how she was doing through out the stay. We would definitely use Amber again as it was clear Ellie was comfortable there.”
“Erin really saved our bacon this time. We had a death in the family and needed to go out of town over a weekend in three days. Erin was able to take not one but both of our dogs on very short notice. We felt very relieved. As usual Erin provided photos and updates throughout the stay. Her communication is nothing short of excellent. When we picked the dogs up they were happy to see us but I am sure they would have been happy staying longer. Erin us our go to care giver for our pups which is especially important given that we can now spend more time traveling. We have complete confidence in Erin providing a safe and fun environment for our two pugs.”
“Shume was the best! I was out of the country and had limited access to my phone/computer. Anytime I called Shume picked up immediately and provided an update on my fur baby. I will definitely be a repeat client:-)”
“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”
“My dogs most likely will sleep for the next week, they had so much fun!!!! Holly was very sweet and caring. She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent the sweetest picture! 100/10 recommend!”
“James & Emily were great with our Honey Jo! They sent us pictures, had great communication, and walked Honey during her stay with them. We were traveling by plane so our trip timing was up in the air, but James & Emily were flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Would love to use them again!”

“Elizabeth always takes great care of our cats, sends thoughtful detailed notes about how the visits went and lots of pictures. She always spends time with them. I trust her 100% and always hope she is available when we need a sitter. She’s the best!”
“Ms. Peggy was so reliable and relieved my stress when it came to leaving my cat home alone for the first time! She was easy to contact and did everything she was asked. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Will definitely be using her again!”

“Mel was professional and detail oriented in her work and uses excellent communication. She kept Mr Kitty so happy that he was not even anxious or whiny when we returned after 2 weeks of vacation. I felt peace of mind with Mel watching the pets and house. Would highly recommend her services to others.”
“INCREDIBLE PET SITTER! I've lived in multiple states and she's the best I've had by far. She went above and beyond to take care of my floof! I'm so grateful. Just the best!”
“Alex was wonderful! My cat’s stay ended up being shorter than expected, and she was super understanding and accommodating! She was very attentive and caring towards my cat and provided consistent updates every single day. I would book with her again.”
About: I’ve grown up around all different types of animals and have experience caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently own a spoiled pomeranian and 2 very needy cockatiels so I REALLY understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, give fresh water, take dogs on walks, play with them, administer basic medications if needed, and make sure they get plenty of love and attention. I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own and always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!! Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I’m currently a barista at Dutch Bros, so my work schedule changes from week to week.

About: I have had dogs my whole life, starting with a German shepherd mix when I was 8 years old. I have experience with dogs of all energy levels. I currently own two high drive, high energy border collies and 3 papillons. I am a member of a local obedience club and actively train in barn hunt, disc, and flyball. My dogs also have several obedience and trick titles, so your dog may come home knowing more tricks! I also have experience with exotic animals. I currently own several crested geckos and have owned bearded dragons, a uromastyx, and a chameleon in the past. Crate trained dogs only please! I am currently a stay at home mom so I will have plenty of time to play and train your four legged babies. I am very flexible with schedules. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I also have 3 kids (7,12, and 16) who love animals to play with. My children have been taught how to be respectful to all animals.
About: I've cared for cats for years, both for my own cat and while cat sitting for family members. I'm comfortable with feeding, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing water, giving lots of attention and playtime, and making sure cats stay on their usual routine. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I make sure they're comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away.
About: Have been a pet owner all of my life, and experience with all types of animals. I just recently moved to the Huntsville area and have a fenced in backyard on 10 acres of land, toys and a dog of my own who loves playtime and friends. I will have an open schedule and will be home full-time. My schedule will be very flexible, I am looking for one time sitter needs or ongoing scheduled needs. I have a large house with plenty of space for indoor relaxing, and a fenced backyard for exercise & playtime. I have one medium sized dog (Labrador Retriever mix) who is very friendly, both to people and dogs.
About: I’ve had dogs (&cats) for as long as I can remember. I adore animals and promise to provide the best care to them and your home! I have a very open schedule at the moment and I’m very “go with the flow”. I’m willing to make accommodations or changes as needed that will give us both the best experience. I’m always mindful of owners requests and requirements of care while also prioritizing your pets safety and comfort while in my care. I treat my own pets with love and respect and will do the same for anyone else’s.
About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
About: I have pet sat for several families since I was old enough to stay home alone. Taking care of animals is a strong passion of mine and I actually hope to become a vet someday! I also have experience working at a vet hospital and pet resort which taught me that I love taking care of your fur babies! I am working part time at another job but does not really interfere with pet sitting because they are not long shifts. Regardless of my schedule, it’s important to care for animals at specific times so I will definitely make room! Since I would be caring for your pets in your home, I would happily follow any instructions given after building a little bit of trust with the animal!

“Provided excellent care for my fur baby! He really enjoyed himself and tired himself out! They sent pictures and video throughout the day to reassure my baby was fine and okay! I appreciate the service provided”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.
“I would like to give her a rating of more than five stars. Even after taking care of my rambunctious puppy, she described her as "sweet." Moreover—despite it being our very first meeting—she listened earnestly to my various requests. She is a truly trustworthy person.”
“Meaghan and her family did such a great job with Kylo! He had the best day playing with the kids and their pets. It was so good to know he was having a blast and being taken care of while we were gone for a long day at the ball field!”
“This morning I dropped off a wild child (my pup Emma), she was so excited to be at daycare today! This afternoon I picked up a calm, happy, and totally cared for pup. Emma had a great time at Fortune’s home playing with her pups and really enjoyed playing with her son and his friend. Thank you for watching Emma!”
About: My Boarding Policies: I want every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me, so these guidelines help keep things running smoothly for everyone. 💬 Meet & Greet I always do a quick meet & greet for new clients so I can get to know your pup’s personality and make sure we’re a great fit! I will need an emergency contact and vet reference. (Last minute bookings happen, I am willing to work around this for this purpose, just reach out to me) 💉 Health & Vaccinations For everyone’s safety, all dogs should be up to date on rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Please also make sure your pup is free of fleas/ticks and not showing signs of illness. ⏰ Drop-Off & Pick-Up I’m flexible, but I try to keep drop-offs and pick-ups within agreed time windows so the day stays smooth and predictable for the dogs. If you’re running late, no worries — just let me know! If at any point I can not get ahold of you, this will result in me reaching out to Rover Support or possibly Animal Control (depending on the situation) 🍽️ Food, Treats & Supplies Please bring enough food for the whole stay, plus any medication with simple instructions. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll let you know right away. 🐾 Behavior & Comfort I welcome all sorts of personalities! I just ask that pups are: Friendly with people and other dogs Able to be crated or safely separated if needed Not showing aggression If your dog has any quirks (anxiety, chewing, reactivity, etc.), please share — it helps me give them the best care. 🩺 Safety First If a true emergency happens, I’ll contact you immediately and may take your dog to the vet if needed. Owners are responsible for any vet costs. 📸 Updates I love sending photos! Expect at least one update per day — or more if you’d like. Just tell me your preference. 📅 Cancellations & Holidays I follow Rover’s cancellation policy and keep things fair, but holiday bookings may fill up fast, so early scheduling helps! I loved animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and ages — from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just need a little extra love and patience. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them like family. I enjoy long walks, playtime in the yard, and plenty of snuggles on the couch. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they deserve. I provide full-time dog care, including doggy daycare, boarding, drop-ins, and walks. When doing Drop ins or walks, if you are outside of a 5 mile radius, a small fee will have to be added for the distance traveled. Each day starts with morning walks and potty breaks, followed by supervised playtime and socialization. Midday is quiet time for rest and meals, with afternoon walks, and play. Evenings include dinner, potty breaks, and calm activities to help dogs wind down. Overnight, I monitor boarding dogs to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and loving environment where your furry friend can feel at home. All interactions are supervised, and I make sure playtime is safe and stress-free. I follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, medications, or routines to ensure your pet’s well-being. I believe trust is earned, which is why I maintain open communication with owners throughout their pet’s stay or visit. You’ll receive updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your pet is doing in real-time. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and structured, offering plenty of space for exercise, rest, and fun. I strive to create a positive experience that leaves your pet happy, healthy, and eager to come back.
“My pups really enjoyed their stay. They had lots of room to roam around and made a new friend, the family pet Georgie the Corgi. Lindsey gave me updates on how they were doing throughout the day. We will definitely be bringing them back and would highly recommend!”
“Erin is truly amazing! When we moved here we didn’t have any family or friends in the area and were worried about where to leave our dogs when travelled somewhere that we couldn’t bring them. That fear quickly went away after Buddy and Lila stayed with her the first time. They absolutely adore her family and it gave us peace of mind to know they were taken care of with the same level of love as when they’re at home. She quickly became the only person we felt comfortable leaving our two babies with and we’re sad that we’re moving away, Buddy and Lila would get so excited to go to her place. We highly recommend Erin to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Kayla was fantastic with my pup Myra during her stay for daycare. Myra got to play with Kayla’s pups, sit outside and enjoy the weather, and even did some fun training for treats. She kept in touch during the day and took some great pictures so I could see what Myra’s day looked like. I would absolutely recommend using her services, and if we weren’t moving we would totally use her again!”

About: I’m 31 years old, a single mom, and the owner of Daisy’s Creative Cuts & Colors LLC, as well as a REALTOR and photography business owner. I have a genuine love for animals, and because I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to be with them almost all of the time. I can groom the dogs in my care so they go home fresh and clean, and I also work on light training while they’re with me. This is my career, and I take great pride in the work I do. I’m willing to care for dogs that others may turn away, because I truly believe dogs are incredibly intelligent and intuitive animals. I see dogs and cats as very special, and I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. If you choose me to care for your pet, you won’t regret it. I also love meeting my dogs’ families, I’ve met some amazing people and formed long-term friendships through this journey. I spend plenty of time with my animals I keep since I work from home a lot. I update you on how they are through the day as well. I have a fenced in yard. We will be outside most of the time. We go for walks and to the park. I also send pictures everyday so you can feel closer to your fur babies.
About: I’ve had dogs most of my life, and I love meeting new ones and learning their quirks. I will treat your babies as if they were my own. I have experience pet sitting growing up as well as working 5 months full time at a kennel before going to college. My home is 1 story with a flat fenced in yard. This is perfect for young dogs through senior dogs. This is my only job, so I have lots of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! I also have a reliable vehicle which makes it easier to get to and from your home or to the vet in case of emergency. I have a single story home with a fenced in yard. We have one very sweet, friendly, senior cat. I can follow your wishes to the best of my ability. And I’m happy to discuss any questions. My pets have always been allowed on furniture and in my bed.

About: My wife and I both grew up with pets and lovingly cared for our dog and two cats for over 17 years before they crossed the rainbow bridge. We recognize that each pet has their own unique needs, and are patient and responsive to ensure they are well cared for. I work from home full-time and my wife works from home part-time. Between the two of us, we are available to provide dogs with two short walks and one long walk a day and make sure they have plenty of food and water - and of course plenty of cuddles if they like that. Our home offers a clean and calm environment for any pet adjusting to a new place temporarily. Any well behaved pet is free to roam throughout the main rooms, and we have a fenced in backyard for dogs that like to be outside. We can accommodate any dietary restrictions and feeding patterns you have. If you prefer for your pet to be in a crate, we can set that up as well. We also have a well behaved six year old daughter who adores animals. We also do in-home visits and can do any feeding, walking, and litter box cleaning as needed.
“Michelle has exceeded my expectations for Diggidy Doo. Her love and expert training is apparent in Diggidy Doo's trust and love of her. She gives her all and Diggidy Doo will have the fullest experience that I desire for him.”
“Emma had a great time at daycare at Makaylah’s home yesterday. She was well taken care of and played with Makaylah’s pups ,happily expending some of her energy. Emma even slept in this morning! A rarity! Thank you for taking such good care of her. We will be back!”

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals pretty much since I could walk. My family has had chickens, quail, pigs, horses, goats, guinea pigs, and of course dogs and cats! I’ve also worked as a ranch hand at a goat farm for 2+ years. Currently the only doggie I can call my own is my sweet Nala. She is a mini schnauzer who loves people and is quick to play with other pups. I currently work part time and attend college on Mondays and Wednesdays. So I can almost always sit or board Thursday-Saturday. I love walking and jogging so I’m always up for that. I’m currently in the midst of moving into an apartment with my best friend who also owns a friendly collie named Josie. And I have my sweet Nala. I will be able to board in the future but it will probably not be till September-October.
About: I have taken care of animals since as far back I can remember I have also worked in the vet for sometime now I have experience puppies to senior animals I'm currently working an overnight job I can work with your schedule if needed I just need to know advance so I can make time to help you out with your fur babies.

About: Enthusiastic dog and cat lover. Exotic pets welcome! Perfectly capable of handling any cleanup necessary. No experience with "extremely" disabled pets but I'd love to gain some! I don't smoke, I have reliable transportation, and I'm a fervent cruelty free advocate! I have 6 pets of my own, 2 dogs & 4 cats. Milo orange male, George orange male, Cashew orange male, Prim tabby female. Olive black lab, Sabrina chocolate lab. I'm able and eager to care for big & small animals of all breeds. I'd love to work with hamsters, mice, gerbils, rats, etc. I had rats from 2021-2023. I'm not afraid of "bully" breeds, truly I adore them. If you have any questions feel free to message me! I'm unemployed at the moment (8/6/26) so I've endless time for pet play and care! I somewhat frequently have to administer medication to my older pets for various reasons. If your pet needs that I can provide with proper teaching from you, just to make sure I don't make a mistake. I cannot currently care for your pets at my home, not with 6 of my own. However I can play with, exercise with, feed, water, walk, and give lots of love to your fur baby.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. From having turtles, cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish over the years I’ve learned so much about so many different animals! every animal is different just like humans so i strive to make sure they are comfortable with me and trust me how i am with them ! Many friends and family have asked me to watch or take care of their 4 legged babies, so i hope to keep doing it with yalls ! i’m currently working part-time, so that leaves me free from 1pm to anytime. My off days are Wednesday and Fridays, they don’t change! I’m willing to walk, sit, let them out to potty, just run to go check on them, and if they need some extra loving i’m there! Of course if you need anything else i’m here and very flexible! I live in an apartment, so i wouldn’t accept nightly stays at my place, but i’m more than capable over staying at yours ! i know most of the time animals feel more comfortable and safe in their own homes ! I do have a 80 pound dog who i take out 5-6 times a day when i get home, i take him out to the dog area and play with him for hours so he can get some sunshine on him, he’s crate and potty trained, and he LOVES to be cuddled up on anyone !

About: I’ve cared for birds, chickens, ducks, and dogs—there’s nothing I can’t handle! I’ve wanted to be a vet since Kindergarten, and pet sitting is the closest I’ve gotten so far. I am a college student so I might be out of your house for 2 hours or so but I’ll always let you know. I’m always available to watch the babies. I make sure to take the dogs out frequently and mostly love on the pups if I can’t cuddle your dog/dogs please don’t book me.

“Thank you so much for taking good care of Teddy and being flexible with us! We like to take Teddy with us when we can, but when we can’t, it is wonderful to have you and John to watch ninja dog! Merry Christmas!”
“Our boys became an extension to Sean and Dianna from the start. They loved playing in the pool and making new friends so much that I don’t think they missed us at all! And I wouldn’t want it any other way!!! We were provided updates of their happenings throughout the day by pictures, videos, and messages. It was so comforting to have absolute peace of mind that my pups were happy. I will 100% be booking with them again.”
“Absolutely wonderful with Daisy. Great at giving her tons of love and attention, as well as sending lots updates and pictures. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend!!”
“Kelsey and her family were so great watching our dog during our extended vacation! Our dog came home happy and exhausted! They were very communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures. They also promptly dropped off and picked up our dog to the minute they said they would. Would definitely trust and leave our dog with Kelsey again!”
“Julia was awesome! Sent lots of pictures, was super quick to respond and gave lots of updates! We met Scout a few days before so our dogs could adjust, and that put us at ease leaving them for so many nights.”
“Laura has been amazing for our Leo! He had a scary incident the day of boarding and she was still up for having him. He loved it there and could be his own self, relaxed and playful. She takes amazing care of all the dogs she has and respects if some dogs need a little calmer start or whatever they needs might be that day! 10/10”
“Our pet sitter had an emergency 24hrs before our trip, leaving us in a bind. Brett’s response time was less than 8hrs. We received picture updates and Brett was extremely responsive via text. We will definitely be back!”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”
“Hailie has boarded our dog Cooper several times and has been very attentive and personable to work with. It's more like a close friend watching our dog rather than "boarding" him. He gets excited to go to her house and she has been flexible and understanding with unpredictable booking conflicts. We will continue to call on Hailie for our Cooper's "babysitting" needs😁”
“Erin really saved our bacon this time. We had a death in the family and needed to go out of town over a weekend in three days. Erin was able to take not one but both of our dogs on very short notice. We felt very relieved. As usual Erin provided photos and updates throughout the stay. Her communication is nothing short of excellent. When we picked the dogs up they were happy to see us but I am sure they would have been happy staying longer. Erin us our go to care giver for our pups which is especially important given that we can now spend more time traveling. We have complete confidence in Erin providing a safe and fun environment for our two pugs.”
“Shume was the best! I was out of the country and had limited access to my phone/computer. Anytime I called Shume picked up immediately and provided an update on my fur baby. I will definitely be a repeat client:-)”
“Return customer and very happy with the outstanding boarding Kristin provides to our two fur babies! Our pups are happy, healthy and exhausted from all the playtime they get when we pick them up. Highly recommended!!”
“My dogs most likely will sleep for the next week, they had so much fun!!!! Holly was very sweet and caring. She kept me updated throughout their stay and sent the sweetest picture! 100/10 recommend!”
“James & Emily were great with our Honey Jo! They sent us pictures, had great communication, and walked Honey during her stay with them. We were traveling by plane so our trip timing was up in the air, but James & Emily were flexible with our drop off & pick up times. Would love to use them again!”
“Had a seamless experience with Olivia! She paid attention to our rescue pup’s needs, such as avoiding encounters with other dogs due to his trauma, and provided us with updates throughout his stay. Definitely using her services again next time we need the help!”
“Katelynn was so sweet and so helpful! She was able to take in Winter super last minute and handle my spaz of a doggo with grace. If I was able to give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. She kept me updated and informed. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their fur babies!”
About: I’m an animal person through and through. I’ve been around dogs since I was a little boy at the age of 5. I’ve taken care of family, neighbor, and even stray pets/animals and take pride in my ability to get on the good side of any creature. Firm believer that there is no such thing in a bad dog, only misunderstood ones. I have one dog (the handsome black lab), but sometimes have my mother in law’s two dogs over. They’re all well behaved and sociable. I work from home and typically have a lot of spare time in my day to take care of pets. I make sure to take my dog to the park everyday and see to it that he gets proper exercise and will be sure to make sure your dogs get the same. I don’t go anywhere most weekends so I’m available for boarding and anything else more or less all the time. I live in a 4 bedroom house with a big yard and sunroom so plenty of space for play. I have several parks located within ten minutes of me and walking trails nearby too so your pup will never be bored.
