“Kaia was amazing. She watched our beagle for the day while we explored Auburn and went to a game. She was very flexible and accommodating with our timing and took great care of our pup. We will definitely reach out again when the time comes! Great experience.”
“Mrs Catherine is the best person that took care of my golden doodle and this’s priceless to me. I really love that she was sending pictures and videos every single day and updating me on how Karol was doing. Please Do not hesitate to contact her for the care of your pet, as she will provide excellent care.She’ll be my dog sitter on our upcoming vacations.”
“Our dog LOVED her time with Sandra and Mark. She normally takes a little time to warm up to new people and things, but she was instantly at home with them. She loved running around their yard and sitting in a little pool and sun tent that they offered her. They had excellent communication and sent us so many pictures. It’s so reassuring knowing your pup is in good hands when you’re away from them. We’d recommend them to anyone and would love to use them again in the future!”
“Thank you Jessica for watching our pup! We can tell that he had a blast with her family as well and that’s all that matters! Will be rebooking as soon as we come into town!!!”
“Second time bringing the dogs over and my experience with Awy and Stephanie definitely didn’t disappoint. She constantly send videos and pictures. What I love most is that she’s very special and caring with them. It’s like caring for them myself.”
“We were looking for someone to make Spirit feel right at home. We feel like we accomplished that with Laura. She and Spirit hit it off right away. We plan on using her many more times in the future.”
“BOOK JENNIFER NOW! I would like to tell everyone a little, rather a lot about my experience with Jennifer?. In one word; EXCELLENT! Jennifer was amazing, she washed my baby-cleaned her teeth-wiped her paws after going outside and loved on her to make her feel welcomed-sent me pictures of her daily. DO NOT BOOK WITH ANYONE ELSE; Jennifer is the person you want to watch your baby. YOU WILL BE EXTREMELY SATISFIED. I will only book with Jennifer. She is Amazing!!! I’m so happy with the way she cared for my baby. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! SHE IS THE BEST! I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jennifer and her family. They are the nicest people I have met in a long time. I’m not just saying this either. JENNIFER ANSWERS TEXT IN A TIMELY MANNER. She scheduled a meet & greet and showed me where my baby girl would be staying and her back yard is big enough to fit an entire litter of pups/dogs without them bumping into each other. My baby stayed with Jennifer & family for 7 days. I even messed up on drop off/pick up time and she was very understanding. This was my first time using this service and Jennifer helped me through the process. Anyone who has read this far, believe this if you believe nothing else-for her price YOU WILL RECEIVE MORE THAN YOU EXPECT! She was so amazing my baby isn’t talking to me because she wants to go back?. I genuinely will not use anyone else. BOOK JENNIFER TODAY! ❤️”
“This is the second time Megan has watched one of our dogs, and the first time for our other dog. Megan is always so friendly and took great care of our babies! They get along great with Megan’s dogs and we’re so exhausted when we got home. I know they had a great time! I really appreciate her responsiveness to messages and pictures of my babies!”
“Booking with Ryan was great. He sent loads of pictures of my dog Murray enjoying his stay. Murray is tuckered out from all the fun and walks, which really puts me at ease that he was comfortable staying with Ryan. Cannot recommend him enough.”
“I was so happy that I chose Annie for my lab’s stay. Her kids enjoyed fetching and I got video updates throughout the weekend. They also live in a nice neighborhood with a big backyard. If anyone is in need of pet sitting this is a great place and your dog will get excellent care!”
“Heather was fantastic! She and her family did an amazing job caring for our Maltipoo, Remi, over the weekend, sending regular updates and photos. He looked so happy and seemed to have a great time. I had such peace of mind knowing he was well cared for while we had to travel. I can’t say enough great things about Heather, and definitely plan to use her for future care for Remi. Highly recommend!”
“Autumn was AMAZING!! She is so flexible whenever I needed to leave my dog a little longer. I so enjoyed the frequent pictures and videos. She is great and your dog would be in great hands!!”
“Jennifer is awesome, our dog always comes home happy and we get photos of her having a great time while she is there. Recommend her for any dog sitting needs! Jennifer is flexible with pick up/drop off times.”
“I will forever be grateful to Katie. While I was giving birth, she watched my dog as normal, but it was able to incorporate, baby blanket and baby crying to help introduce our new daughter to him. I am so blessed that we found her as she is a wonderful human mom and dog watcher. You cannot go wrong with Katie.”
“Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Lexie was really good with our fur baby who tends to get anxious. She picked him up with ease making him comfortable right away. She sent us pics and kept us posted throughout my dog’s stay which put us at ease during our vacation. Great communication and she was very flexible with time. I highly recommend Lexie!”

About: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember! They’ve always had a special place in my heart ! My friend relied on me to watch his pup for almost a year & she was the most spoiled girl ! We’ll treat your pets as we do our own ! Lots of walks and treats and cuddles ! I am currently working full time in the navy but have a pretty set schedule. I walk my dog after work and can do the same for yours ! My Schedule allows me to drop in to feed your pups and let them out to play for a bit! I currently have one dog who is so spoiled ! He sleeps in our bed, gets up to 2 long walks daily if possible. We goes on car rides and has lots of treats. We treat him like our kid because he is! We’ll do the same for your fur babies!
About: I am a huge pet lover who enjoys their company just as much as they enjoy ours. Between walking, playing fetch and doing fun tricks for treats. There is nothing better than a good snuggle from our fur-babies to end the day. I work during the week so I am not home from 8am-7pm Monday thru Friday. I allow my fur-babies on the furniture to cuddle as well as bed. We have lint-rollers for a reason. The back yard is fenced in and big enough to roam and fetch, plenty of sticks to play around with as well. I do keep them indoors while I am away and spend much needed time outdoors in the fresh air if they are playful. Car rides are the absolute best! I currently work full time. I am available for boardings throughout the week and weekends as some days I allow my dogs to stay outside while I am away or working (there is plenty of shade and multiple water sources I put out) but I also have a bedroom with crates set up if you prefer they be indoors while I’m away. I have a fenced yard and three friendly fit babies to keep yours company. I also have two large/xtra large crates setup in a bedroom.

I will always confirm your animals' boundaries within your home, such as furniture and room allowances, and ensure security of doors and fences/gates upon arrival and departure.
About: Hi! I’m Alexis, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I know they aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cuddly, or somewhere in between. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, and to care for them just as I would my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend, so I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages to give you peace of mind. Whether it’s walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup and become someone you can trust whenever you need a helping hand! I'm a recent college graduate so I am home fulltime and have more than enough time available to love on your fur baby! There is nothing better than having furbaby love! I do not have a fenced in backyard but will be more than happy to take your furry baby on a walk, welcome them into my apartment and/or drop in and see how they are doing!
“Ashley made our trip worry free knowing that our kittens were taken care of! They tend to be shy around people they don’t know, and they warmed right up to her. She sent pictures after every visit and also made sure our house was taken care of while we were away. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Tory (Nicole) was great! She came every morning for a week to let my two dogs out and feed them breakfast, while I was out of town. She was on time, played with them, sent pictures, and communicated with any questions or concerns that came up. Highly recommend and will be asking her back in the future!!”
About: I have a passion for animals. With two cats of my own, I understand the necessity of having someone care for your babies! Travel with peace of mind knowing I will leave your babies better than you left them! I am a licensed REALTOR® in Auburn, so my work is flexible and mostly remote. This gives me the availability to care for your animals to the best of my abilities and meeting time crunches that most people can't at an eight hour shift. I come to my clients homes. By coming to your animals, they are already in a trusted environment, so it makes the process much easier for them and for me!
About: I have plenty of experience caring for cats, both personally and professionally. From feisty kittens to mellow seniors, I understand how to read feline body language and give them the space or affection they need. During my time in a veterinary clinic, I learned how to safely handle even the sassiest cats, administer medications, and monitor for any health changes. As a current vet student, I’m confident in providing calm, compassionate, and informed care—whether your cat loves cuddles or prefers quiet observation from afar.
About: Cats have been in my life for its entirety. I have been entrusted my whole life to take care of my own cats and my neighbors and friends cats from kittens to our senior babies. I also have my own little kitty myself and I will treat your cats like my own. Also, I will make sure you get cat pictures all the time while I sit them because that’s what I like when someone is looking after my kitty.
“Thank you for looking out for my sweet kitties, Madison! She did an excellent job looking out for all the details, feeding needs and other tasks. It was such a pleasure to be away knowing Madison was in charge.”
About: When i was 7 my dream was to own a dog walking business! I even made fliers! My family friends allowed me to take care of their sweet pup for my first gig! I have always had dogs of my own! And have taken on the responsibility of feeding my friends pets while they’ve been gone on vacation many of times so I am confident in my pet caring abilities!!:) Currently, I am a student at Auburn University and taking online classes for the summer! So my schedule is super flexible and open! Tuesdays nights and Sunday mornings are really the only time I am usually not home! But other than that I am willing to work with your schedule!! I live an apartment/town home so I do not have a yard but it is a great place for walking and there is an area for dogs to play and use the restroom on leash!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wende
About: I empathize with the deep bond between pet owners and their furry companions. Having been raised with dogs and cats of different sizes, I possess extensive expertise in their care. Moreover, my flexible timetable enables me to dedicate ample time and affection to your beloved pet throughout the week. My background includes tending to animals of all sizes, demonstrating patience in grooming, administering medication, engaging in playtime, and fostering trust. I prioritize respecting the individual boundaries of each furry friend. As I work from home, I seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule, ensuring regular breaks for feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. In my home, pets receive personalized care tailored to their needs, including regular exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love and attention in a safe and comfortable environment.
About: Our dogs have always been family and I can't recall any time in my entire life when I haven't had a dog at my side, sometimes two or three. I've had dogs of all sizes and energy levels. The longest boarding was for two months while the pup parent traveled in Asia. I've had dogs on my small ranch in NV and we rode trails together. They moved with me to CO and we enjoyed the mountains and front range together. I drove cross-country many times with my dogs, stayed in hotels and visited friends and family with them. My dogs are always a priority in all we do and I will care for your pups as I do mine. Be assured that I will follow any special instructions you give to provide your pet a safe, happy, stress-free stay. I recently rescued a deaf puppy who was in the middle of the road, and took care of her until a new, loving home was secured. I checked on her later and she is happy with her people and dog family. I am retired and always home. I spend my days gardening, cooking, squirrel and bird-watching, helping at church, and making greeting cards. My two dogs are with me the entire day. We will give your pup lots of company and love. I prefer to sit for one client at a time and max two dogs at a time. I look forward to meeting you and your pups. It's a good day any day that you meet new friends with fur. They bring joy to life. I have a 1/2 acre and a huge fenced yard for play and romping. Your dog will not be put outside for any length of time without my oversight. I am frequently out in the yard, relaxing, weeding, planting and pruning. Safety is number one and focused, pleasant care are my priorities. I want to be sure that the pups have my undivided attention. My two small dogs and I will give your pup lots of company assuring that he or she is acclimated and gets to know us. Our home is comfortable and happy. Does your pup enjoy endless belly rubs? Mine do and I have plenty to share. I prefer to sit for one client and max two dogs at a time. Photos of your pup's day are provided, if requested. I feed my dogs twice a day and give them one treat after their meals. I will feed your dogs at the time of day you prefer. We will only give your pup treats that you provide. I will follow your feeding schedule and administer meds if needed. My early career was 20 years as a hospital clinical laboratory scientist and then as a director. I've medicated my dogs and horses and given shots, so I know all the techniques needed to administer meds for your dog. Be assured, I recognize a dog's body language if in pain, stressed, or sick and will notify you immediately of any serious issues. I will follow your instructions if vet services are needed. My senior dog, Vivvie requires a special diet, so I make homemade dog food, veterinarian approved. No table scraps for her or for dogs in my care.
“We were so excited to find Colby & his family! Normally we would leave our boys in the camper while we do our adventures, but it was so hot. I contacted Colby late the night before and he took our boys in while we rafted in Columbus. They were loved & cared for while we were on our adventure and we’re so worn out that they were happy to sleep through the rainy night.”
About: Hi! I’m Taylor, and I have extensive experience working with animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, and large animals. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from North Carolina State Universith and recently completed my Master’s in Veterinary Medical Sciences with a concentration in Shelter Animal Medicine through the University of Florida. I also have professional veterinary hospital experience and am currently preparing to begin veterinary school at Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine. I’ve worked in veterinary clinics for several years and am comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and medical needs. I have experience administering medications and injections, monitoring post-surgical or senior pets, handling anxious animals, and recognizing when something may be medically concerning. I also have experience with puppy care/training and senior pet care, so I’m happy to accommodate different energy levels and routines. My goal is always to make your pets feel as comfortable and safe as possible while you’re away. I try to keep them on their normal routine, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddle time, medication schedules, or just having someone patient and attentive around. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. For boarding: I currently live in a pet-friendly home environment and can accommodate different needs depending on your pet’s personality and comfort level. If your pet uses a crate/kennel, you’re welcome to bring it so they have something familiar from home. Safety is extremely important to me, and all outdoor time is supervised and leashed unless otherwise discussed. I’m very comfortable with pets that require extra care, including medications, injections, special feeding instructions, or senior accommodations. Please let me know about any medical conditions, behavioral concerns, fears, or routines ahead of time so I can make their stay as stress-free as possible. :) Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because caring for animals is already a huge part of my daily life. I have several years of veterinary hospital experience and recently completed my Master’s in Veterinary Medical Sciences with a concentration in Shelter Animal Medicine through the University of Florida online while working full time. I’m also preparing to begin veterinary school at Tuskegee University College of Veterinary Medicine. Because of my background, I’m very comfortable handling pets with different personalities, energy levels, and medical needs. Outside of my regular responsibilities, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddle time, enrichment activities, or helping maintain their normal routines while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I work hard to create a calm, low-stress environment and to keep pets on routines that feel familiar to them. I’m experienced with a wide range of temperaments and medical needs, including senior pets, anxious pets, and pets requiring medications or injections. For boarding, pets are always supervised and outdoor time is safely managed on leash unless otherwise discussed. If your pet is crate-trained, you’re welcome to bring their crate or favorite items from home to help them feel more comfortable and secure during their stay. I believe communication is extremely important, so I always try to keep owners updated and make sure everyone feels confident and comfortable throughout the visit.
“Robin was amazing. She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind. My puppy was happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter.”
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I have several years of professional experience working with dogs in boarding and daycare environments, with a strong focus on behavior, safety, and low-stress handling. I’m comfortable caring for senior dogs, administering medications, following special routines, and working with dogs that benefit from a calmer environment. My background has taught me the importance of understanding each dog’s individual needs and adjusting care accordingly. I also carry pet care insurance in addition to Rover’s protections and believe in clear, honest communication so owners can feel confident while they’re away. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I work from home, which allows me to spend the majority of my day with the dogs in my care rather than being away at a traditional 9-to-5 job. My schedule is built around feeding routines, walks, enrichment, potty breaks, cleaning, and individual attention. While I occasionally leave for errands or appointments, dogs are not routinely left alone for a full workday. I provide care in a calm, structured home environment designed to help dogs feel safe and comfortable while away from home. Dogs are supervised, managed thoughtfully, and given appropriate opportunities for activity and rest throughout the day. I prioritize low-stress handling, safe management practices, and predictable routines that help dogs settle in successfully. Each dog’s care is adjusted based on their age, temperament, energy level, and individual needs.
About: I have over 15 years of experience with all types of animals. I have a deep affection for animals and understand the importance of their well-being. Whether it’s a playful dog or a curious cat, I always take the time to understand their unique behaviors and needs. I am attentive and patient, ensuring they feel comfortable, loved, and secure. For pet owners, knowing that I can offer reliable care provides peace of mind—whether it’s a quick check-in, a thoughtful response to any concerns, or simply understanding how to make their pets feel at ease. My love for animals is grounded in the belief that pets deserve kindness, respect, and consistent care. I focus on building a trusting bond with each pet so they feel comfortable and safe in my presence. For pet owners, this trust is invaluable—it means you can leave home knowing that your furry friend is not just in good hands, but in the hands of someone who genuinely loves and cares for them as if they were my own. I will be taking this position fulltime ensuring exercise and playtime, feeding and medication routine, rest and comfort. Incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine ensures your pet receives consistent attention, love, and the appropriate level of care to keep them healthy, happy, and safe. Your pet’s well-being is always a priority, and my routine revolves around meeting their physical, emotional, and social needs. My home is pet-proofed to ensure there are no hazards, such as toxic plants, sharp objects, or unsafe areas that your pet could access. All windows and doors are securely closed or locked to prevent any escapes, and I always monitor pets closely when they’re outside to ensure they’re safely contained. Your pet will have a designated, cozy sleeping area that is safe and comfortable, whether it’s their bed, crate, or a spot they’re familiar with. I will ensure that this area is free from distractions and potential dangers, allowing them to rest peacefully and securely. I’ll keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, including feeding times, exercise, and rest. If they’re on medication or need specific care, I will ensure they receive the correct dosage at the right times. Sticking to their usual routine helps minimize stress and makes them feel more at home in my care.
“Jennifer was an excellent host to my pup Luna. I received photos of Luna playing in her yard and having a great time around her other dogs. Highly recommend her if you’re ever in the area.”
“Lexie was amazing! Communicating and scheduling was breeze. My Cooper was exhausted when he got home..... he had a great time running around with her two sweet dogs. Have already booked a long stay. Highly recommend!”
“Heather was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I dropped my dog off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. She was warm, friendly, and so communicative throughout the entire day. I received regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease and made me feel connected while I was away. My pup had an amazing time playing and clearly felt right at home in her care. It’s easy to see how much Heather loves what she does, and that energy really shines through. I’ll definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend her doggy daycare services to anyone looking for a safe, fun, and loving environment for their pets!”
“Heather was great! She sent us lots of pictures and videos of Frank having a great time with the other dogs on their walks and intermittent nap time during their day full of playing. Frank came home happy and tired... which is all a high energy pup parent can ask for! She even brought Frank home for us using our lockbox because neither of our work schedules worked out timing wise and left him with fresh water and in the comfort of his home waiting for us to get home. We will definitely use Heather to care for our pup again!!”
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life, to me a home isn’t a home without one! As of right now I have three dogs, one that lives with me full time. I rescued him from a shelter and I love training him and watching him grow up. I would be a great help with training or just simply giving love and attention to your sweet pup ! I work part time at an Auburn country club with the flexibility of being able to leave in the middle of the day when needed. I am near tons of dog parks, I take my dog, Bear, everyday that it’s not raining, and he gets along great with every pet including cats. I also love to run and go on walks and wouldn’t mind having a furry companion.
About: I’ve spent over 15 years caring for a wide variety of animals. What sets me apart is my experience with sick, senior, and disabled pets. Some of my own animals have special needs, so I understand how important it is to provide gentle, attentive care. I’m calm, patient, and confident with everything from giving meds to handling nervous or medically fragile pets. Whether your pet is young, old, or needs extra TLC, I’ve got it covered. Animals are a part of my everyday life—I care for my own pets daily. Feeding, cleaning, medication, and quality time are all part of my routine. I naturally plan my days around animal care, so adding your pet to my schedule is easy and something I truly enjoy. Caring for animals isn’t a chore for me—it’s just part of who I am. Whether in my home or yours, I create a safe, loving, and relaxed environment. At my home, I have a fully privacy-fenced yard for safe outdoor time and my own friendly dogs who love to play and keep new friends company. I stick to your pet’s routine—feeding, meds, potty breaks, and play—while giving them the same care and attention I give my own animals. I’m experienced with pets of all kinds and always make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved.
“My dog and I are so thrilled to have found Lauren & Hunter!! Lauren has been extraordinarily kind and communicative ever since the initial booking this past weekend to the conclusion of the doggie daycare experience tonight, and I so appreciate it! She sent me tons of photos and updates throughout the day which was awesome, and I could tell my little guy was in great hands with her and her family! I would absolutely love to work with Lauren & Hunter again, and would certainly recommend them to anyone else!! Thanks again :)”
About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I've taken care of them when abandoned by the mother, sick, or disabled. I have experience doing basic training. My own pets pile on me the second I sit down. I've never had a pet pass the rainbow bridge before the age of ten. I love animals so much and I will love yours too! **** I like to send many pictures and updates. Please do not feel obligated to reply to each one. Dont worry, I know you are busy**** Taking care of animals is all I want to do. I am a stay-at-home mom and my youngest is 16. I have plenty of time on my hands and love. I have fully fenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I have a pug of my own who doesn't mind other animals. I usually keep him in the bedroom for the first couple hours. I have two inside/outside cats who are also very friendly to people and animals. If I am sitting cats and dogs together, I will usually keep the two separate. Cats upstairs and dogs downstairs. Don't worry about attention. There is plenty to go around! If I'm caring for your babies at your house, I will follow the rules you provide.
About: Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital, I developed a strong passion for animal care from an early age and gained hands-on experience working with a wide variety of species. I have personally cared for four dogs and a rabbit, giving me a deep understanding of daily pet care, responsibility, and animal behavior. In addition to personal experience, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant at an animal hospital and shelter throughout my senior year of high school and during my freshman and sophomore years of college. In this role, I assisted with patient care, monitored animals, maintained clean and safe environments, and supported veterinarians and staff with daily operations. I also volunteer at a horse ranch during my free time, where I assist with animal care and ranch responsibilities. My background has allowed me to become comfortable working with animals of all sizes and temperaments while developing strong compassion, communication, and caregiving skills. currently work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of time to animal care and attention throughout the day. Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine, and I enjoy maintaining a structured schedule to ensure animals receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship. I have four personal dogs and regularly spend time finding new walking trails, parks, and outdoor areas to take my pack on adventures and exercise outings. Staying active with my dogs is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for pets, whether in my own home or in a client’s home. Growing up in a family-owned animal hospital and working as a Veterinary Assistant taught me how to properly handle animals, recognize behavioral changes, and maintain clean, safe, and stress-free environments for pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am very organized and dependable, so I like to keep pets on their normal routines as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and rest. I also make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care. I have four dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, safety, and treating every animal like family. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks and exploring new trails and outdoor spaces to keep them active and engaged. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, carefully follow all instructions, and prioritize communication by providing updates and photos so owners feel comfortable and informed while they are away.
“We did a meet and greet prior to first day and I appreciated that so much. My dog was interested in Rebekah which is a great sign! He enjoyed his first day today playing care free! He came home ready to nap!”

About: I spent 12 years in the Marine Corps and decided to change career paths. After I got out I found a different passion which was training dogs. Please read what sets me apart from every one else and if you still have questions afterwards then do not hesitate to reach out to me! -Your pet will have 24/7 supervision and company, if an emergency arises on my end I will immediately reach out to you and let you know, I will never leave your dog unattended because I would not want someone to do it my dog, therefore I always treat visitors with the same respect. -My dog Moxie is seen and treated like one of my kids and yours will be to while under my care! -I will keep in contact at all times and update you on their visit w/photos. -I am a professional dog trainer who does boarding on the side. What this means is that your dogs will have the best care in the area when it comes to their safety and comfort. They will not have any unsupervised play like any of the other day care or boarding facilities around. I take your dog’s mental and physical care seriously. Every interaction they have can have a lasting impact on them for the rest of their life’s. I am currently a stay at home dad so my schedule is very flexible.

I have a lot of patience and love meeting dogs and learning of their personalities. I am absolutely thrilled to meet and take care of your pet! Hi my name is Dudley, I usually have an open schedule. I am flexible with hours and would love to help you with your schedule. So I understand a new environment for your pet might be a little overwhelming. I like to keep the initial introduction calming and bring your pets toys or dog bed into the new environment to let him/her feel safe. I do have other dogs but I have the ability to keep them separate if your pet doesn’t like other animals. My dogs have been vaccinated. I have a large back yard where your pet can let a lot of energy out and have a ton of fun! If I would house sit I would love an introduction. Usually a treat or two helps them feel calm around me. If you just wanted a walking service for your pet I would find a route near your neighborhood or apartment complex. I make sure to stay off the asphalt as much as possible. And in the summer I bring an extra water bottle with me in case they get tired.

“Kaia was amazing. She watched our beagle for the day while we explored Auburn and went to a game. She was very flexible and accommodating with our timing and took great care of our pup. We will definitely reach out again when the time comes! Great experience.”
“Our dog LOVED her time with Sandra and Mark. She normally takes a little time to warm up to new people and things, but she was instantly at home with them. She loved running around their yard and sitting in a little pool and sun tent that they offered her. They had excellent communication and sent us so many pictures. It’s so reassuring knowing your pup is in good hands when you’re away from them. We’d recommend them to anyone and would love to use them again in the future!”
“Thank you Jessica for watching our pup! We can tell that he had a blast with her family as well and that’s all that matters! Will be rebooking as soon as we come into town!!!”
“We were looking for someone to make Spirit feel right at home. We feel like we accomplished that with Laura. She and Spirit hit it off right away. We plan on using her many more times in the future.”
“This is the second time Megan has watched one of our dogs, and the first time for our other dog. Megan is always so friendly and took great care of our babies! They get along great with Megan’s dogs and we’re so exhausted when we got home. I know they had a great time! I really appreciate her responsiveness to messages and pictures of my babies!”
“I was so happy that I chose Annie for my lab’s stay. Her kids enjoyed fetching and I got video updates throughout the weekend. They also live in a nice neighborhood with a big backyard. If anyone is in need of pet sitting this is a great place and your dog will get excellent care!”
“Heather was fantastic! She and her family did an amazing job caring for our Maltipoo, Remi, over the weekend, sending regular updates and photos. He looked so happy and seemed to have a great time. I had such peace of mind knowing he was well cared for while we had to travel. I can’t say enough great things about Heather, and definitely plan to use her for future care for Remi. Highly recommend!”
“Autumn was AMAZING!! She is so flexible whenever I needed to leave my dog a little longer. I so enjoyed the frequent pictures and videos. She is great and your dog would be in great hands!!”

“I will forever be grateful to Katie. While I was giving birth, she watched my dog as normal, but it was able to incorporate, baby blanket and baby crying to help introduce our new daughter to him. I am so blessed that we found her as she is a wonderful human mom and dog watcher. You cannot go wrong with Katie.”
“Leaving Cooper for a full week over the Fourth of July was a big deal for me, but from the very beginning I knew he was in great hands. Kristen welcomed him into her home like he was part of the family and kept me updated every day with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. The best part was seeing how happy and relaxed Cooper was when I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for, loved, and made to feel at home. I never had to worry while I was away, and that is priceless. I would absolutely trust her with Cooper again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of him!”
