Highly-rated overnight sitters - Guilford
“Brittany and her family took such good care of our vizsla Satchi..we are new to the area and it’s a big relief to find a kind and caring dog sitter nearby. Thanks Brittany”
“Ariel was amazing with Bender. She went above and beyond. Her communication was excellent and sent pictures throughout his stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future! Thank you!”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”
“Stephanie is great! She sent us many photos of Peanut and is very gentle and patient with him. Her dogs are also really cute and make great companions.”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first overnight stay with Laura, or anyone else for that matter. I was hoping it would go well and happily Evie had a great time running about and playing with three other dogs. Good to know I have a safe place to drop Evie off when I'm away.”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“My pup had the best time! When I arrived at Mari’s home, she showed me to the outdoor play yard. I received quite a few pics of my pup full on sprinting and having the best time meeting other pups in the neighborhood. Mari’s communication was excellent. I received pics every few hours and my very high energy pup arrived home after her stay and immediately passed out. Not an easy feat for a high energy doodle! We will most definitely be back!”
“Jill was amazing! We met before our booking so we could make sure my dog would be comfortable and fit in at their home. She sent me pupdates throughout the weekend and did so many adventures with our dog. I'm so happy to have found her!”
“Serenity offered to meet our pups prior to their stay with her. She sent regular updates to let me know how they were doing. When we picked them up they seemed at ease. I will definitely reach out to her again when needed.”
“Sandra was great! Wonderful large fenced backyard with plenty of space for fetch. Sandra’s daughter Jessica was very sweet with my dog. Their family made her feel at home. Their two other dogs are great too. I will definitely be using their services in the future and very much appreciate their accommodations for my special needs dog.”
“Laura, Carolina and Enrique are the best! I know because my dog, Calie, told me so! And I can explain. During her visit they send pictures of Calie hanging out and enjoying her stay. It’s clear from the pictures that she is happy and content. And when we arrive to take Calie home she’s always very relaxed and in no rush to leave their home. I would highly recommend Laura, Carolina and Enrique!”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”

Cat caregivers near you - Guilford
“Kacie took great care of our kitty while we were away on vacation. She was considerate of our home, attentive to our correspondence, and loving towards our pet. I look forward to having Kacie pet sit again soon.”
“Kim was very attentive to my cat, Bella, when doing drop-in visits. She was respectful of Bella given her age (~19 years), as well our home. Highly recommend Kim for your pet’s needs!”
“Tyler is fantastic! Super caretaking for my cat over a whole week of meals, medications - lots of attention to detail. A very caring, attentive presence that my normally shy cat really responded to.”
“Rachel always treats our dogs like family. We never worry when she’s caring for them! We always receive detailed updates and lots of photos showing our pups happy and enjoying their time. It means the world to us to know they are safe in her care.”
“Laura is a wonderful cat sitter! She has several cats of her own that she has adopted and also volunteers her time at a local compassion club describing her experience there as therapeutic. One of our cats is often hard to find and Laura accepted this challenge. We received many daily photos :]”
“Dustin is the absolute best! It’s only because of him I was able to leave for two weeks and enjoy time with my loved ones for the holidays. He is trustworthy, consistent, and reliable. He was patient with my girl, Marshmallow, and accommodated to her needs. My family and I are so grateful for Dustin, and I plan to rebook him in the future.”
“I feel so lucky to have found Courtney to watch my two cats when I did, and to continue working with her. She first began to watch the boys when I had to take an overseas trip, and after our first meeting, the cats trusted her and I personally felt confident and comfortable enough to ask her to take care of them for me while I was in another country. She is a wonderful, kind, communicative, and responsible sitter who immediately made me feel at ease when we first met. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Met with us prior to meet the pups and go over instructions. Arrived on time agreed. Went above and beyond. Stayed and played with the pups the entire time. Communicated well. We felt comfortable with Ly-Linh right away and would not hesitate to recommend.”
“Claudia was flexible about scheduling and met with me due to a last minute change in my travel plans wherein I could not take my dog with me. That in itself was a game changer. An added bonus was that my dog bonded with her almost instantly. My girl is usually very protective of our home but Claudia was great with her. Even my cat, who is extremely timid and usually hides until new people are gone, came out to check Claudia out which speaks volumes about her caring connection with animals. Claudia sent me wonderful photos daily of her outings with my dog, who looked very happy, giving me such peace of mind. Claudia is a very good communicator, making sure of my return date, where to leave the keys, and feeding schedules. She is trustworthy and all was in order when I returned. I was so pleased with her service.”
About: I've pet-sat for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and guinea pigs since 2001. My sittings have ranged from a few hours to two weeks. I've sat for family, friends, and many parents here on Rover. My family has included two cats, Cleopatra and Caesar, and dogs Valentine, Athos, and Teddy. My goal as a sitter is to offer stability and enrichment while their parent is away. I'm available for drop-ins and overnights and happy to care for your home during the stay, watering plants, etc. My schedule is very flexible outside of my 9-5 at Yale. Why I love pet sitting Who doesn't love some fuzzy company? And I understand from watching our family pets how disorienting a kennel can be. In-home sitting puts pets (and you!) at ease when you're away, so they can enjoy the "vacation" just as much as you can! My experience administering medication I've given pill medication via pill packs and oral liquid medication via syringe. If your dog requires medication, happy to discuss.
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was a kid, having grown up with two dogs and being part of their care from puppyhood through old age. I've looked after both dogs and cats for neighbors and families to whom I've provided childcare, and for the past year, I’ve regularly walked dogs housed at a county animal shelter. This has been such a rewarding activity and has increased my comfort in interacting with animals with a variety of temperaments. I'm an active person, so I’d love to get outdoors and moving as long as your pup is up for it! If necessary, I can bathe your pet and administer oral medications; if instructed may also be comfortable with injectables. I’m so excited to meet a new furry friend! I’m a medical student looking to establish some house/pet sitting relationships while I attend school. My daytime availability during the week is therefore limited, but I’m happy to provide evening care for your pet or stay overnight in your home. On weekends, I have more flexible availability for drop in visits and/or daytime walking. I will be pet sitting in your home and want to fit into your pet's daily life as seamlessly as possible, so I'm happy to do whatever makes them happy! I'm an active person so whether your pet is high or low energy, I can cater to their needs.
About: I have taken care of many cats throughout my pet sitting years. I’ve never had one of my own so I am always fascinated by each of their individual personalities and behaviors. I don’t mind cleaning litter boxes, giving affection and making sure food and water are fresh and clean.
About: PLEASE READ FULL PROFILE BEFORE YOU BOOK AND CHECK THE CALENDAR AND SEE IF I AM AVAILABLE. THANK YOU! Hello! Thank you for your interest. I am located in beautiful Guilford on RT. 77. Very easy access from 95. Your dog MUST be house trained, vaccinated, and on flea/tick prevention. It is a quiet and small household and medium to low energy dogs do best here. We play fetch a lot and lots of walks in our big yard. I also walk a few miles a day and love the company! We also have a dog run. I take one dog at a time, so they get our total attention. We do not have any pets. PLEASE check my calendar for availability first. I do request a meet and greet, if you are a new client to make sure it is a good fit for us all. I do work Tue-Fri, so they MUST be ok home alone. Please make sure your dog's information is filled out prior to booking. We hope to hear from you soon! Thank you! I am a teacher. So I follow the teacher schedule (hrs, off time). The dog must be able to be left alone during the typical school hours. Pets are inside with me. When I go out I like to take the dog with me-car rides, walks, baseball games etc. If its too hot I do have central air.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 8 and haven’t met a dog I didn’t love. I spent the past 5 years living in NYC where I started dog walking and sitting part time before moving back to CT. I can handle all dogs of all ages and sizes. Accepting evening and weekend walks only. Same day / last minute bookings will be accepted depending on my availability. Fully booked for mid-day weekday walks. Kind and careful to all requests. Can take control in many different situations. Energetic and active where needed. Calming presence when it’s time to wind down.
About: I grew up with a cat, and always have been an animal lover. I went to school to be a vet tech, and now have 2 cats of my own at home in Hawaii. One has an auto-immune condition that requires daily steroids, so I’m no stranger to special needs and making sure each cat is well cared for.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Guilford
“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”
About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs and as an adult have owned a Black Lab, King Charles Cavalier, and now have a Jack Russel mix! I'm very active and like taking dogs on long walks! I work from home and am very active. I walk my dog to the beach or harbor every day, into town, and for hikes on nearby trails. I'm a very caring and responsible dog owner.. I have a safe home and would be happy to keep your dog with me or pet sit at your house and take him or her on several walks!
About: Hello! My name is Noelle and I am an experienced sitter. I have had many animal companions my whole life including reactive dogs, small/medium/large dogs. I currently have a 100lbs Dogo Argentino and can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m currently getting my masters online so I am available during all hours of the day to look after your companion! Potty breaks are easy and frequent. I have a huge love for animals and seek to give them a comfortable, happy experience while you’re occupied. I have an unfenced yard, a beautiful walkable neighborhood, and treat each furry friend with all the love, care, patience, and respect they deserve from their sitter!
“My fur baby requires a great deal of attention due to some health challenges. This makes me very careful about who cares for him. I am so Blessed to have Liza taking care of my lil guy. I would highly recommend her to people that need puppy ? care”
“Truc watched our Russell terrier Ozzie for the day when we were in the area on vacation. Ozzie left happy and tired, and had a great time with her lab Calvin. Truc was very responsive and easy to communicate with, took special care to ensure Ozzie adjusted well, and even took him on a special adventure in town. Would highly recommend. Thank you Truc!”
“Andrea was just wonderful. It was my first time leaving them with a sitter. I knew I could trust her with my babies right off the bat. She’s sweet and caring and communicated with me the whole time because I was anxious being away from them. It’s easy to see that she is a dog person to the core. Highly recommend!”
“OMG THE BEST! Mariana took such great care of Galileo. And she took care of ME as well. I felt so safe leaving the little man with her. There were constant updates and photos and so much love. I wish I lived closer so I could use her every day!!!”
“My pup Pepper had a great day with Mari while I was at work! Pepper can be very anxious, but Mari calmed her down in no time! She sent me lots of photos and updates throughout the day!”
“Stephanie has been very responsive to us in onboarding our 5 year old rescue to her care. She takes the time to get to know the dogs she cares for and works with them. Her calming way with the dogs inspires trust. We’ve done a one day visit in preparation for a longer stay. So far so great!”
About: Dog and cat owner. As pet parents it is our responsibility that our pets live a happy and healthy life. I give that to every animal that comes into my life! Currently working a hybrid schedule in a full-time role, so I’m home pretty often throughout the week! On the days I do go into the office, my mom stops by to take my dog for a walk and can give any dogs staying with me a midday break too. I have a super friendly 3-year-old Golden Retriever who loves other dogs and is always happy to have a friend around! When I’m working from home, I’m here throughout the day and have plenty of time between meetings and projects for walks, playtime, attention, and lots of company. When boarding, I’m home outside of my office hours, and your dog will get lots of playtime, walks, attention, and plenty of time to just hang out and feel at home! My pets are my priority. I always make sure things are put away and out of grasp for my dog. Food is never left out, especially foods that may be harmful to pets. I limit those off of my shopping list as much as possible. When we have other dogs over, they are offered fresh water, treats if allowed and all the toys they could desire. If a dog is not allowed certain toys due to being a shredder or if the toy poses a choking hazard, those toys go in the closet. I’m very careful and attentive, while having fun with all dogs!
About: I've grown up around animals my whole life, including huskies, and I spent most of my life horseback riding. I currently have a young husky named Mako, so I have daily experience with exercise, training, grooming, and keeping dogs on a consistent routine. Mako and I are home from college, so we’ve been spending lots of time outside! We regularly go hiking and swimming, and at home he has access to several acres of land where he can safely explore on a supervised 100-foot lead, well away from the road. I do most of Mako's grooming myself, including bathing and brushing to prevent matting, and I'm happy to do the same for dogs in my care if requested. I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs and can safely separate dogs if needed without making them feel left out. Mako is very friendly and loves meeting new dogs, but I pay close attention to make sure he’s not overwhelming anyone with his puppy energy. I keep a consistent schedule and will treat your dog like one of my own. There's also a vet right around the corner in case of an emergency, giving you extra peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Im back home from college right now and can give 24/7 care. I am a musician but I don't have the sleep schedule of one! Mako and I wake up at 9am and sleep by 12 at the latest. Feeding times are consistent and we spend more of the day outdoors than in. I love to write and practice outside so I will hangout on the porch or in the yard even if I'm home for the day. Mako lets me know if he needs a AC break, but he also has his favorite shady trees and kitty pool to hangout at. At my mom's farm house we have many acres of yard off of a low traffic street. It is not fenced in so I have a 100ft lead tied in the center that I clip Mako to. My mom left a patch of the yard un-mowed so the wildflowers would grow, and Mako loves to explore in the tall grass. I tick check him regularly but haven't found anything yet. I always keep him in my line of sight when I let him out on the lead. The house has lots of space and it's easy to seperate dogs if needed. I also have a large crate that Mako used to use. I uphold some basic training manners such as no table scraps, calmly walking out the front door next to or behind me, no chewing everything, etc. Im happy to take requests if there's training manners you don't want your dog to get rusty on while away. Im not certified but I know how to perform CPR and first aid on dogs. There is a vet clinic right around the corner and I can get them there within minutes incase of emergency.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was 8. I am a Behavior Analyst and have used my profession for training my dog and helping my friends and family too. I am reliable and will love your pup like my own! I work from home so have the flexibility to take care of dogs during the day. I am available every day unless I am on a pre-scheduled vacation. I have a very friendly mini labradoodle named Libby that can keep your furry friend company on walks! Also in the house is my mom’s dog who is a 3 lb toy poodle who loves other dogs. I’m clean and dependable and will make sure your pup is well taken care of both in and out of your home.
About: I have cared for dogs for many years and currently have three dogs of my own. I am experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, and supervising dogs of different ages and personalities. My home has a separate room available for dogs who need their own space to relax. I am patient, responsible, and treat every pet like part of the family. Safety, comfort, and plenty of attention are my top priorities. I am a college student but I am available when my semester ends and can provide regular potty breaks, feeding, walks, playtime, and supervision. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. I will communicate with owners and provide updates during their pet’s stay. I have over 11 years of experience caring for dogs and currently have three dogs of my own. One of my dogs is a calm senior Shih Tzu. I supervise all interactions between dogs and have a separate room available for pets who need their own quiet space. Fresh water, feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and safety are always my top priorities. I treat every pet as if they were my own.
“Merlin had a BLAST with Raeven and team. We received a bunch of photos and a video that captured his personality and illustrated his enjoyment. 10/10 - your pup will enjoy a day with their squad.”
“Kristen was great with our 3 month old puppy. She was flexible, sent us plenty of pictures, and responded quickly. It was a serene getaway for him and he looked very comfortable in her home. She took him on walks and he walked really well with her. On the second day drop off Kameron was wagging his tail as we walked inside and went straight for a prized green toy he loved. The pictures she sent were beautiful and she was very easy to talk to. I highly recommend her would absolutely use her again.”
“Jenna was great with our anxious and jumpy pup. She took him on walks, spent good time outdoors, sent regular updates, and had a great, calming demeanor with him. She was very flexible even when we came to her last minute. Definitely recommend!”
“Zuly and her family took wonderful care of my poodle, Babette. She is a great communicator, and understands the needs of dogs from years of experience. Her home was neat, immaculate, and felt very welcoming. I look forward to using her services in the future!”
“Thank you so much. Brianna was great, texted us and kept us in the loop and sent pictures. I can tell Frida had a great time, she’s fast asleep early!Will definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I've been a dog owner for the last 20 years. All my dogs have been rescues, several have been shy dogs that needed extra TLC. I have a special talent connecting with shy dogs and helping them come out of their shell. I also love working with extroverted dogs who love to play and interact. I have a full-time mostly WFH job. I'm available for after-hour drop ins and walks, weekend visits, overnights, and boarding. I know how hard it can be to find petcare (especially during off hours) and I'd like to help with that. My home is safe and secure with a small fenced in backyard away from the road. I have two dogs to keep your pets company. I can help with crating your dog as well. Our home is quiet, serene, and private.

“Amazing! Our new home walker 🐶 My dog and I just moved to a new neighborhood and having Meghan take care of my dog while I am at work is the perfect peace of mind I needed 🤍 She is very friendly and loving to my dog Mikey. We definitely recommend 🌟”
About: Ive had years of experience between puppies to senior dogs. All deserve the same love. I've had a litter of 8 puppies 11 years ago and it taught me more than any book could. I still have one from that litter to this day. All dogs are different and need to be catered to independently. They all have their own love language. I work part time and its flexible, so I'm looking to fill the gaps with zoomies, pets, treats and love from dogs and other animals. In home, I have a large fenced yard, but prefer a walk so we both get exercise. Clients homes depend on what they have available.
About: I've pet-sat for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, and guinea pigs since 2001. My sittings have ranged from a few hours to two weeks. I've sat for family, friends, and many parents here on Rover. My family has included two cats, Cleopatra and Caesar, and dogs Valentine, Athos, and Teddy. My goal as a sitter is to offer stability and enrichment while their parent is away.

In-home sitting puts pets (and you!) at ease when you're away, so they can enjoy the "vacation" just as much as you can! My experience administering medication I've given pill medication via pill packs and oral liquid medication via syringe. If your dog requires medication, happy to discuss. (In case you're wondering why my testimonials haven't been updated recently, it's because I took a break from Rover to be more available to sit for family and friends. Sadly, some of those lovely pets have passed away now. It means though that I have the availability to return to Rover and I'm happy to be back!) In my initial meeting with a family, I like to get a sense of the pet's routine to determine if I can recreate that for them while their parent is away. My schedule, aside from my 9-5, is dictated by the pet's needs. I prefer to care for a pet in their own home. Before accepting a new client, I like to meet the pet and the parent(s) to make sure we're all vibing. I determine routine/schedule/likes/dislikes with the parent(s) in advance and stay in touch if something needs to deviate, which is rare.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments through my background in veterinary medicine. I am comfortable with medication administration, monitoring for health concerns, and handling anxious or high-energy dogs using low-stress, Fear Free techniques. I understand how important routine, exercise, patience, and safety are, and I strive to make every dog feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while their owners are away. I am extremely flexible and focused on caring for your pet exactly when you need it. Please let me know what your exact needs are and I will work to accommodate! I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible to reduce stress and keep them comfortable in a familiar environment. I prioritize safety, patience, and close attention to behavior and health changes while ensuring pets receive plenty of enrichment, affection, exercise, and clean living spaces. With my veterinary background, I am also comfortable administering medications, monitoring for medical concerns, and handling pets with anxiety or special needs using low-stress, Fear Free techniques. I treat every home respectfully and every pet as if they were my own. I will always be reachable if your pets are in my care, and I love getting to sending photo updates and videos if allowed/requested! I will always have my own transportation in the case an emergency ever occurred, I have been trained in canine and feline CPR by my employer.
About: I have always grown up with dogs in my life, and wanted to be a Veterinarian since I was little. I have worked at multiple humane societies caring for the dogs, and have an array of experience through schooling, and an externship at a Pet Clinic. I care deeply for animals of all types, and I would like to spend the rest of my life ensuring their wellbeing, and protection. I am confident that I can provide quality care for your furry babies, and make sure they are comfortable and happy! I have a keen eye for observing their behaviors/tendencies, so this will be important if they seem to be in pain or discomfort. I only want the best for your pet since I understand the importance of their companionship. I am currently traveling, so looking for some gig work while I’m on the East Coast, but usually I’m living in Hawaii and am self-employed, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I make sure to be patient with each animal and let them come to me. I won’t force them to be social, and will be aware of their behaviors to ensure safety and trust is built between us. Also being mindful of their interactions with other dogs or humans if they have any issues with them.
About: I have a lot of love to give to all fur babies. I have had dogs my entire life. No matter how young or old, I have the time and patience and special love catered to fit your babies needs. The more notice I receive, the better care I can give, HOWEVER, no matter the notice, all my love is always given as often as agreed upon. I can watch your dogs in your home only as we are currently in a smaller home with animals of our own that need their space. I will spend as little or as much time with your babies as requested.

Won’t be able to get to front yard unless he/she go’s a certain way, but ill always supervise when i let your pup out. Can set up a runner if needed. Very big back yard with river in the back.
About: I am very punctual and am responsible. I have taken care of dogs all my life and love animals. I have rescued plenty of stray dogs and that is one of my lifetime goals. I do believe in treating all animals with the same care and respect. One of my special skills is I can take care of any dog. No matter the size or the amount of work needed, I will make sure your dog receives the same love and affection you desire for it to have. You will not find anyone more loving and caring about dogs than I am. I also have a bunch of energy and love to play with energetic dogs. I am also great with older dogs who would much rather take it easy. I have extensive knowledge in dog sitting. I used to work for Pups Pet Club and through the organization I’ve learned how to take care of dogs any size.

I focus on clear communication, routine, and positive structure so pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s daily care, training support, or behavior guidance, my goal is to give you peace of mind and your pet consistent, quality care. I’m currently a dog trainer through two different professional companies. When I am not teaching my clients about training I am always working on training with my English coonhounds at home! I am always aware of my surroundings while walking with a clients dog or my own. Safety is my number one priority, especially in an training environment
About: I've got a Labrador retriever that wants to be everybody's friend and kids that love pets. I typically work-from-home throughout the week. I enjoy being active, so doggie time outside (walking in our neighborhood, hiking our local trails, or playing fetch outside) is right up my alley! Our cat passed away in 2024, but I'm keeping him on my profile so he will live on! :) I typically work from home and start a pet care routine for our pets in the morning and throughout the day. We're in a friendly neighborhood with many dog owners and a safe place for walking dogs. There are also some trails within driving distance. Our dog gets play time outside either by playing fetch or with a walk, and of course lots of love from the kids. I have a long lead that allows dogs to play in the front/back yard safely. Any dog's time outside is supervised to make sure they are not eating anything they shouldn't and getting the play time they need. A crate in the home is available.

“Brittany and her family took such good care of our vizsla Satchi..we are new to the area and it’s a big relief to find a kind and caring dog sitter nearby. Thanks Brittany”
“Ariel was amazing with Bender. She went above and beyond. Her communication was excellent and sent pictures throughout his stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future! Thank you!”
“We were very nervous to leave our Zeus with someone we haven’t met before but Cassandra made us feel so at ease in her beautiful home. Zeus did so great and it was great that Cassandra sent updates and picture and video of our boy. Highly recommend!”
“My Golden had a great stay with Connie and family. She sent photos, gave updates, and we met before at a dog park to make sure our dogs got along. He was well cared for, and even sent him home with a goodie bad with some treats. They are much more like professional caretakers and couldn’t recommend enough.”
“Davon was amazing. I outreached very impromptu and he was available for a meet and greet with Arya. ( which went well. We reviewed the basics of her care and he made sure to get a full understanding of what is needed to make Aryas stay as comfortable as possible) drop off was nice. He has spacious living accommodations. What stood out is his willingness to work with Arya being that she is a Bully. There are a many false conceptions about this breed. With his family background working with bully’s and pitbull, and his love for animals in general, I had no concerns that Arya was in good care. During her overnight visit, he provided checks up and sent pictures for reassurance. He also introduced Arya to family and friends ( which I love ) being that she is not around other dogs or people, helping her socialize. Picking Arya up was easy. All items returned and she was happy ! I previously boarded her , and when picking her up she was distant, had scratches and limped !!! All in all, 5 stars for Devon. I recommend and will use him again. 🐾💕”
“This was my German shepherd, Evie's, first overnight stay with Laura, or anyone else for that matter. I was hoping it would go well and happily Evie had a great time running about and playing with three other dogs. Good to know I have a safe place to drop Evie off when I'm away.”
“Jayme really helped us out with watching Diesel when we had to go away for a long weekend for a family wedding. I felt very comfortable knowing that Diesel was in good hands and that he had a yard to play around with. Jayme is very kind and sent several pictures of Diesel. Knowing that he was in someone’s loving home and not in a boarding facility put me at ease. I would recommend Jayme without hesitation for anyone who wants their dog to have a home away from home!”
“Christopher was very accommodating and flexible. He went out of his way to pick up Cameo at a more ideal timing prior to my departure for my work trip. He sent daily updates and pictures of Cameo playing and answered any questions that I had. Cameo got lots of play time and came home happy and exhausted :)”
“My pup had the best time! When I arrived at Mari’s home, she showed me to the outdoor play yard. I received quite a few pics of my pup full on sprinting and having the best time meeting other pups in the neighborhood. Mari’s communication was excellent. I received pics every few hours and my very high energy pup arrived home after her stay and immediately passed out. Not an easy feat for a high energy doodle! We will most definitely be back!”
“Jill was amazing! We met before our booking so we could make sure my dog would be comfortable and fit in at their home. She sent me pupdates throughout the weekend and did so many adventures with our dog. I'm so happy to have found her!”
“Sandra was great! Wonderful large fenced backyard with plenty of space for fetch. Sandra’s daughter Jessica was very sweet with my dog. Their family made her feel at home. Their two other dogs are great too. I will definitely be using their services in the future and very much appreciate their accommodations for my special needs dog.”
“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
“I am so lucky to have found Jill. She was able to accomodate my needs for a sitter at the last minute and was the perfect match for my dog. He instantly bonded with her son and loved being with the both of them. He was completely taken care of by her and her son for the week and had a great time. Her home is immaculate as well as low key and her fenced in yard was a bonus. I will definitely be utilizing her services again in the near future! :-)”
“Karina was awesome!! Our usual dog sitter fell through just a day before a night away, and Karina was quick to respond, and flexible even with the last minute booking. She sent a bunch of videos which were much appreciated, and showed Ruth was having a great time with her dogs and other visitors. You could tell Karina really knew what she was doing and good at introducing new dogs into the mix. Would definitely recommend!”
“Bianca is very responsible and does an amazing job at caring for my dog. I have left my dog with her multiple time in the past and every time she goes above and beyond. Thank you Bianca!”
“I left my dog with Nadine and her family for the first time (for several days) and I am SO happy I did. I could tell that he was in the best hands, and I appreciated the regular updates and pictures! They want above and beyond to make my anxious dog comfortable and he came up happy and relaxed. I will definitely keep them in mind for future stays as they have my highest recommendation.”
“Liza was an excellent care taker for Lexington during his overnight stay. She provided daily updates and timely responses. Would definitely recommend and I plan to continue to use her moving forward.”
