“Absolutely pleased with Rolf’s care. From pictures we could see he was a happy dog. And he got to play outside in a child’s pool and a hosing! His favorite activity. He really didn’t want to come home!”
“Karen kept me informed and communicated promptly. My dog absolutely loved his stay and would recommend Karen for anyone looking for someone to watch your beloved pets.”
“My girl had a great time at Erica and Thomas'. I received regular updates and some great photos. It didn't look like she missed me at all lol! Made my trip a lot more relaxing.”
“Thank you sooooo much for taking care of my Willow! You and your family did a wonderful job with her over night visit. I am so blessed to have found you. This is a super family and I would love have them care for my sweet dog anytime. Our communication was fabulous and the photos you shared are so appreciated THANK YOU❤️”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brittany and her family caring for our sweet boy, Warren. From the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Brittany is warm, communicative, and incredibly attentive — the kind of person who genuinely treats your dog like part of her own family. Throughout Warren’s stay, we received thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that reassured us he was not only safe but truly happy. It was clear he was getting lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. Brittany’s home felt like a calm, welcoming environment, and her family embraced Warren as if he’d always belonged there. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Brittany paid attention to his quirks and the small details that helped him feel comfortable, like a comfy couch and soft blankets. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, well-cared for, and honestly looked like he had just come back from his own little vacation. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving to care for your dog, Brittany and her family are truly exceptional. We’re so grateful we found them — Warren can’t wait for his next stay! 🐾💕”
“Absolute peace of mind. Leaving older dogs can be stressful, but Elisa made it completely worry-free. She took incredible care of our two dogs and treated them like family. She paid close attention to their medications, supplements, meals and senior routine. We received daily updates and photos. We highly recommend Elisa and will absolutely book her again!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our Sheltie Winston with Brittney (and family!) and the daily updates and pics were great so we never worried while away. Definitely will use her service again!”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“This was my first time with Laura & my first time boarding my dog at all & she was the perfect fit! All the updates, safety & enrichment I could’ve asked for, my dog even seemed disappointed to leave!”
“I received so many updates and pictures of my dog. I knew she was getting the best care while we were out of town. Will definitely use again!!! We had a very happy puppy!! Thank you!”
“Tina and her daughters took amazing care of our dog Zoe for two nights! Zoe is picky about people, but she was immediately comfortable with Tina in her loving and cheerful home. Tina was communicative during Zoe’s stay, sending pictures and updates each day. Thank you Tina!!”
“Wonderful, caring, considerate, and responsible family boarded our two pomskies. Responsive and communicative - sent pictures and updates. Dogs got walked and played with. Medicine was successfully administered. Generous and flexible- dogs were able to stay a few extra days to accommodate some changes in our plans. Dogs were well taken care of, would definitely book with Matt B again.”
“Shannon is absolutely wonderful. Great communication and my pup had a wonderful stay. She stays on top of my dog’s needs and she has a wonderful space for dogs to enjoy their time.”
“I had a family wedding to go to and wanted to find a safe and comfortable place to leave Winston, my young dorgi (half dachshund, half corgi) who had never been away from me since I was lucky enough to get him. Laura and her family turned out to be the perfect people and place. With a beautiful, safe home out in the country, a deck and fenced in yard where he could play, a open-plan house where he was visible at all times, Laura’s place was perfect. And the bonus: three little girls who adored him and lavished attention upon him, much to his delight. Laura, herself, was wonderful, caring, professional, delightful. She took him on long walks which he loved, texted me photos and updates on this progress during the stay, saw to his every need and even made some recommendations to me as to feeding bowls which might slow his eating down (he snarfs up his food in seconds!). I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home. But I think he knows he can go back and stay in this home away from home which he will definitely be doing the next time I need to go away without him. I can’t tell you the peace of mind that all this brought me, knowing that he was happy and being well-cared-for and loved.”
“Nina was great and we will definitely use her again. She had no problem managing our playful puppy, sent pictures throughout the day, and took great care of her. She was great at communicating and our puppy returned to us happy and healthy.”
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was young, for about 8 years now as well as dog sat my older sisters two dogs and my oldest sisters three cats. I’ve also house sat for my cousins and grandparents various animals over the years and I love it. Meeting new pets warms my heart and brings me comfort as i’m not from the area it would be nice to get to meet some people from the area and make some new furry friends. I currently work nights so i’m free to pop over in the morning or afternoon and check in on the pets when needed or give them a walk! I love going on walks with my pets so if you want your pet to get a good walk in i’m your gal! I also really enjoy trying to teach pets new tricks with treats and positive reinforcement, and bathing animals so I offer bathing/groom services if needed.
“Eva was wonderful with Tiana! I highly recommend her. She took Tiana on many walks and just loved her. It is so comforting while you are away to know that your pet is being so well cared for.”

“Heather was great to work with. She was thorough, responsive, and very easy to communicate with throughout our trip, which really helped ease my anxiety about being away from my pets. She was also flexible and accommodating with booking. I would absolutely recommend her.”
“Tina is the best! She took wonderful care of my two kitties and we could not be happier. She was able to get my senior cat to take her daily medicine without issue and was super communicative with detailed daily updates. I will absolutely reach out again next time we need a sitter!”
“Mary took great care of my cat over the weekend. He's usually very shy, but she got him to come out and sent the cutest pictures. She was very kind, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process stress-free.”
About: There’s always been a dog in my house ever since I was born. Sparky, Bobo, Patrick, and now my Delilah. I’m a big fan of every kind of dog and love meeting new ones! I’m usually home all day, helping my mother take care of my grandmother. I have plenty of time to pop out and drop in on your dog! I’m capable of letting your dog out, either in a fenced yard or on a leash. As well as feed and make sure their water bowl is full!
About: I've had dogs all of my life and have plenty of experience with cats as well. I prefer dogs but love both! I have had dogs up to 70 lbs and experience with up to 100 lbs. From December 12 to Late January, I will be on break from college so my schedule is mostly open! I can be available from about 10 am to about 8 pm. I will be respectful of your home and space. I love walking and will gladly take dogs on walks around your neighborhood. I have hit 10 miles a day, so don't worry about me tiring out!
“She takes great care of my kitties with their individual needs and is incredibly kind and friendly! I'd recommend her in a heartbeat. She even helped me out with a last minute request due to unexpected travel and is really compassionate.”
About: I have been house sitting over night since I was 14. Family friends have been able to count on me to play with their cats, feed them, change litter boxes, and look in in the cats every few hours.
“We booked Brianna last minute before our 10 day vacation and she was absolutely wonderful. She even took the time out of her day to come meet our cat and see our house before we left. She spent almost double the time with our cat the first few days to just get to know him and make sure he was comfortable with him. Throughout our trip she sent photos and little reports everytime she stopped by. I would definitely recommend using Brianna and we will 100% be using her again!”
“Kirsten was fantastic, she did a pre-visit check beforehand and visited our cat early each morning. She sent updates and photos, and let our cat outside to play, just like she’s used to. We would recommend Kirsten and would definitely book her again.”
About: I am a cat person at heart. I initially started volunteering at my local animal shelter so I could be around cats because I was unable to have a cat of my own due to my family's allergies. Little did I know, this would spawn a lifelong passion for animal care, particularly for cats. Now, as an adult, working at a luxury cat boarding kennel has allowed me to pursue my passion as a career! I have had the unique opportunity to work with a wide variety of cats spanning from enormous Maine Coons to sleek Bombays and spry kittens to leisurely elders. At the animal shelter, I developed particular love for special needs and elderly kitties, which I have been able to further develop through my kennel work. I have cared for cats as old as twenty and cats with a variety of medical conditions such as cerebellar hypoplasia, FIV, FeLV, hyperthyroidism, seizures, feline herpesvirus, arthritis, amputations, blindness, and deafness. Thanks to both volunteer and profession work, I am highly experienced in medication administration (oral, transdermal, injectable), grooming, meal preparation, and cleaning up messes! As both a professional and a cat mom, I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to learn each cat's routine and preferences. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give pet parents peace of mind while they're away!
“Kate was absolutely amazing! We were so worried about our special needs cat while we were out of town but both of our cats and dog loved her!! She was able to get out very shy cat to eat his medicine and play with her in such a short amount of time. We will definitely be using Kate in the future when we’re out of town!”
“Melissa was amazing, she was very communicative and responsive. She took amazing care of my elderly cat including administering multiple meds twice a day while I was gone! 10 out of 10 would recommend.”
About: I have experience with pet sitting, walking, and drop in visits. I am looking forward to hearing the needs of your fur baby to have them enjoy their time to the max! I have free time to care for your pet as I work from home and my family is prepared and ready to help when needed! We have space for your pet to enjoy and share our home. We have places and a bed they can go to relax and we love to take them out to play and sniff around in the yard.
“Natalie was an awesome pet sitter for our two cats! She made such a great connection with them and made sure they were well fed and played with. She takes the best photos of your fur babies and is always in contact so you can feel confident your pets are in good hands! We will definitely be using her again when we go away!”
“Nina did a great job taking care of my cat Rudy! He needs a daily pill and she was able to give it to him. She sent daily photos of Rudy and kept in contact when she had questions.”

“This was my first time ever leaving Ange. I was a little nervous, but everything went great over all. Carolina text me through out the day and made me feel so comfortable with me leaving Ange. I will definitely use Carolina in the near future.”
“We were in town visiting from Virginia and needed to find someone to watch our baby Jax for a day. So glad we found Elisa! She was very responsive to our request and was able to accommodate our change in pick up time. I can tell her and her family treated Jax like one of their own because he adapted so quickly! And I can tell he had a lot of fun because he instantly went to sleep. We’ll definitely book Elisa again if we need another sitter when we’re back in town!”
“Karen was a great dog sitter for our little guy. She sent photo updates, was kind, & we knew our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with Karen again. Thank you.”
About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors dogs and cats for over 10 years. Love being able to spend time with them and the opportunity to see them happy. I currently work remote so have time during the day and nights to take care of all animals. Usually busy from noon to four to try and enjoy the back half of a ski day I enjoy taking dogs for walks or playing fetch. I am a very energetic person and feel well suited for any environment with all kinds of pets
“Erica, Thomas and the kids were great with Lenny. When I went to pick him up, he looked happy and was definitely tired from a full day of fun. Erica was very flexible with drop off time, I had to drop Lenny off really early to leave for work, and I also had to book his stay last minute, and they were able to accommodate it. I received photos and updates from Lenny all day during his stay. Lenny will definitely stay with Erica and her family again.”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have always been an avid animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have two miniature pinschers of my own that I’ve spent a great deal of time training, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized care for every pet. Because I work remotely when I’m not traveling for work, I’m able to provide attentive care, companionship, walks, playtime, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra attention, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. Your pets will be treated like my own with love, attention, and reliable care you can trust. When I’m not traveling for work, I work remotely from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for pet care visits, walks, feedings, and companionship. Every day can look a little different, but I keep my calendar updated to ensure accurate availability and reliable scheduling. We have a dedicated area in our basement with turf, toys, and space for pets to safely play and stay active. I will always be present to supervise and monitor them, whether they’re playing indoors, spending time outside, or going for walks around our neighborhood, which has plenty of sidewalks and nearby trails for safe, enjoyable exercise.
“Elizabeth and her family took such good care of our dog for the day. They provided a wonderful home with spacious backyard for him to run around with their golden retrievers, AND took him hiking in the snow (which our dog loves). We really appreciated Elizabeth accepting our booking request with pretty short notice as well. We definitely recommend Elizabeth!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I will take care of yours as they were my own. I love being outdoors so they won’t ever be bored. I will make sure your pup is taken care of while you are away, I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving them so I will send updates and pics to put you at ease if needed. I will adhere to rules and training that you are working on with the dog. I will ask questions to see what exactly you and they need. If needing overnight care you can be assured I will look after them and they will not be lonely. We will socialize and play until it’s time for them to go home. I can’t wait to meet all of the new paws! I work part time and very flexible. Off sat-Monday and during the week I’m off at two! I walk my dog everyday after work and we love going to places where he can run around and have some fun! My dog is a part of my family. He has a very comfortable life and his choice of space on the couch. We go for walks everyday and he loves playing in the yard
“Adam and Jennifer were wonderful! They were flexible and responsive, kept me updated with a sweet picture and message, and most importantly, took such great care of my senior boy. It gave me real peace of mind while we were at a family gathering nearby. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you Mary Jo! She watched my Pepper for a couple hours and did a great job! I also thought it was extremely sweet of your son to kiss Pepper goodbye on top of his head :) I highly recommend Mary Jo to look after your dog!”
About: I have loved and cared for all kinds of animals since I was young. Having every animal from cats to dogs, birds and guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, lizards, turtles, and birds! I have experience training dogs as well as training service dogs. I can care for animals from birth to their senior years. I can safely bathe animals, feed, administer medication, and give souch love to them! I have a very flexible routine that allows me to accommodate the needs of many pet parents! I can make adjustments as needed and am happy to spend time with your loved four legged friend! I keep a clean, safe space for the animals I visit with. Unless otherwise noted, I keep a variety of treats and toys on hand and keep a large gravity water bowl available at all times.
About: COVID19 & my services: Special precautions I am taking **Upon Request by you** - wearing gloves, spraying items I’ve touched with my Lysol before leaving (such as door knobs), wearing a face mask. Social distancing during your free meet and greet. Free Video call meet and greets upon request. Please continue reading for more info about me and my pet sitting services below! Thank you and be well. I love dogs and cats! My love for animals started early in life, growing up always having pets and even making some of my first few bucks dog walking for neighbor’s dogs. I come from a family of care-takers, nurses and teachers, so naturally, I love taking care of people and what better way to do that than ensure their pets are cared for, too! I will make sure your precious doggies and pets are loved and taken care of just like it was my own dog or pet. There’s nothing like the peace of mind, knowing your beloved fur-baby is getting the attention, food, water, bathroom breaks, belly rubs, butt scratches, and exercise he or she deserves while you’re away or at work. I’ll be sure to give your dog and/or cats lots of love! One of my proudest memories is when my dog graduated “Puppy Manors Class”. I am happy to know what you’d like to work on with your dog in terms of behavior and training, and help in any way I can - or, follow any commands and training strategies you already have in place. Cesar Millan is one of my favorite dog trainers, for the way he is able to understand dogs and speak their language. Something interesting I’ve learned from him is that dogs actually DO have a sense of time, “Your dog does have a sense of time — and misses you when you’re gone. If you think your dog knows when it’s time for dinner or a walk, you’re right! Dogs pick up on our routines and habits, and they also sense how much time has passed. One study showed how dogs responded differently to their owners being gone for different lengths of time.” I understand the value and importance of a reliable pet care taker - our animals depend on us and miss us just like humans do with their friends and family, that’s why I know how important having a reliable and loving pet sitter is. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you! Please message me first for your free meet and greet. Thank you!
About: Having cared for 13 dogs and 4 cats (yes, we keep count), we've seen it all. Daily exercise and even bathing is quite familiar to us. Leo has hands-on experience with animal shelters, and I have biological based experience with both nutritional needs and animal anatomy, and we both can provide basic training. We currently have a year-old golden retriever and a tabby! We've dealt with a couple lovable (but difficult) pets and can deal with issues like stubbornness, biting, and basic potty training. Leo works from home, and I'm a commuter-basically, there's always someone home! We are both the "outdoorsy" type and frequent the devil's hop yard, as well as hike through our property. As STEM majors, animals keep us sane! We can also transport your pets (we have the seating and everything). Our property has a spacious (but secure) 100-acre forest, perfect for supervised walks and exploration! At home, our pets—a friendly Golden Retriever and a sweet Tabby—ensure your furry friend will never feel lonely. We can also provide crate time if needed for safety or comfort, and (given our flexibility) tailor care routines to meet each pet’s needs!
“Our Roo had a wonderful time. We picked him up and he was a very happy and tired boy. Suzanne has a great fenced back yard that is perfect for dogs. She’s very responsive and we so appreciated her taking Roo on fairly short notice. Thank you Suzanne.”
“Molly has severe separation anxiety and can’t be left alone, which limits what we can do during the week. We have been looking for someone to watch her regularly for church on Sundays though and I’m so glad we found Madelyn! We drop Molly off in the morning and pick her up a few hours later and we know she’s in good hands. Madelyn provides prompt communication and takes good care of our girl!”
“Joe and his wife were very friendly. They watched Shiloh for about 5 hours while we visited with friends in the area. At pick up, we could tell Shiloh enjoyed her visit and playtime with the family's dog.”

“We were very happy with Sara. She made a separate trip to meet our dog before the walk date and we and our dog liked her right away. She came as arranged and sent pictures and text about his walk. I definitely would use her services again.”

About: Hello! My name is Meghan and I have a love and passion for all kinds of animals. I am currently a part time veterinary receptionist/assistant and am available for walks and drop-in visits Sunday through Wednesdays. I have never known a life without pets. Growing up, my family always had dogs, including two German Shepherd police K9s and even a dog who used a wheel chair. I have also bred and whelped both German shepherd and Labrador Retrievers. My husband and I currently have two Labrador retrievers, four cats and four goats. I would love to take my passion for animals and turn it into a business one day, which is why I decided to start on Rover. I am currently available for dog walking and drop in visits for socializing and potty breaks. Please contact me for any kind of pet care you may need! I am currently a part time veterinary receptionist/assistant! I am available for walks and drop-in visits Sunday through Wednesday. Please send me a message with your specific needs. I have reliable transportation, and will treat your pets as if they are my own. Their safety and happiness is the most important thing to me.
About: Dear dog parents, I'm a big dog lover and I'll assure you I'll love and care for your dog as if it was my own! I'm well educated about dog care as I took some animal classes in high school and a vet assistant course . I have taken care of my own fur baby for 11 years before she passed, she was the cutest feisty chihuahua. I see dogs as a blessing and they truly are angels that become such a wonderful part of our lives. I know and understand how important your fur babies are to you so Im very dedicated to providing the best care possible for them. Sincerely Your friendly dog walker/sitter I'm available most of the time, especially in the mornings but also in the evenings on certain days Please don’t hesitate to contact me for more info. I have a small front and back yard in my apartment and i like going to parks for the walks. The apartment is spacious enough for any dog
About: I’ve taken care of pets in many settings, including messier households! (Not a neat freak so it does not bother me!) I trained my Doberman on Couch to 5k, running through all the trails in RI. I’ve taught my cat how to shuffle cards, play piano, and spin in a circle on command, and my mom’s old cat would always practice Pilates with us at 6 in the morning. Recently I dropped in for a friend’s 2 cats, even the shy one eventually warmed up to me! They required medication in their food so she left detailed, neatly handwritten notes on the table, which helped a lot! She allowed me to eat lunch there so of course I’d always ensure the kitchen was clean and the way I found it. My aunt’s sister’s cavapoo loved fetch, although I think she had ADHD like me, but I always got her to refocus! I also used to bathe my mother’s rag doll cat Dory every now and then and I would help trim minor mats in her fur. Even my photographer’s cat sat in my lap randomly during our meeting when she had to step away for a call! Growing up, I often took care of family and friends’ cats and dogs, playing fetch with them, and of course, playing music for them. I usually help my mom trim my cat’s nails. Growing up around my friend’s horses, I’ve always had a connection with animals. I always tell people, I sold my first CD because a German shepherd fell in love with it, and wouldn’t let his owners continue walking until he heard the end of the song. (I play acoustic guitar, piano, and sing). We taught my friend’s Dobermans how to sing, and made sure he didn’t eat anything he wasn’t supposed to as he was a troublemaker! We also always took my dogs to nice restaurants and kept them well-mannered and quiet. Outside of pet sitting, I enjoy walks in nature, going out to eat, teaching music lessons in the evenings, and watching comedies. My cat’s latest hobbies include watching the birds, and he apparently likes the music channels as he cries when I turn them off. On Sundays I often visit my boyfriend’s mom’s German Shepherd, Bruno. His hearing is sensitive (even reactive to splashing in the pool!) so we make sure to approach him very gently and warmly, and he loves fetch and “chase the ball!” I also am used to visiting people’s homes, both when I was a case manager as well as an independent music instructor. Outside of work, I very much enjoy meditation, reading about nutrition, writing music, yoga, and painting. My cat Fin Fin also loves to try to help me paint, often nearly dipping his whiskers in as he says hello! Nowadays we tend to simply cuddle on the couch. If you choose me for your pet’s care, I intend to give them an amazing experience per your expectations and frequent photo check-ins, just like our pet sitter did for us. I’m very adaptable and have flexible availability, just ask! One of my favorite activities is running, I can always walk or run with your pet, or if you prefer us to lounge, I have lots of great pet-friendly shows on our nice TV. I love driving so I’m happy to drive to you if it’s further away - as I am regularly back and forth between Westerly, RI and Uncasville, CT. Outside of teaching in a formal studio, I’ve worked in client’s homes for therapy-related meetings as well as for music lessons - and believe it or not often times there are pets who love to sing along to the music! I usually stay home in the morning so I can easily take care of your pet between 7 am and 2 pm. I used to have an office job but found it too sedentary and draining; I discovered I thrive in outdoor and home environments. I’m excited to enter this new chapter and care for animals! I have a partially fenced yard so I would generally take pets out on a leash but it is a non-busy road and very safe - the lawn is freshly mowed and we have a playground your dog can weave around! I also have a cute little neighborhood that we can circle around that is far from the highway and if your pet loved car rides, we can always go to the park and get ice cream! Occasionally our neighbor’s dog likes to come over unsolicited but he is always very gentle and friendly! My cats are also used to my mom’s boyfriend’s rambunctious dogs coming in and out from time to time and we have plenty of doors and rooms in the house and baby gates if we ever needed to keep pets separate! We also have a spare pet bed if needed that was gifted to us - we always want to make sure your pet is comfortable sleeping at night!
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have always loved caring for them. I currently live with my parents, where we have two family dogs, an Australian Kelpie and a Border Collie/Lab mix. So I'm very comfortable with energetic dogs and understand the importance of exercise, routine, and positive attention. Since graduating high school five years ago, I've regularly dog sat for friends and family, caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's going for walks, stopping by for drop-in visits, or keeping your pup company while you're away, I'll make sure they receive the same love, care, and attention I'd want for my own dogs. I currently work four days a week, so I'm available for pet care on Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays. On the days I work, I don't start until 1:00 PM, which means I'm also available for morning walks and drop-in visits before work. I do my best to be flexible and communicate clearly, so you can count on dependable care that fits your pet's routine! At this time, I only offer care in my clients' homes, where I believe pets are happiest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. I take the time to follow each owner's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other routines that help your pet feel safe and secure.
About: I like to be active with pets and can also adjust to their personality. I enjoy just being present and spending time with all animals in general I’m currently working full time so after work is best fit for me. Anytime from 5 o clock until whenever. Also free on the weekends I tend to play inside a lot but going outside is a plus. Walks included and just being active if possible. Sometimes just sitting down and relaxing going with the dog and its individual needs
“Great experience using rover for first time. I couldn’t walk my dogs because of ankle surgery. Ashlyne responded right away and came over on short notice and walked my two dogs, an 11yrs old black lab and an 1yrs old black lab / Belgian malinois mix. They both liked her and went walking with her with no hesitation. Plan to use Ashlyne again and highly recommend her.”

“Absolutely pleased with Rolf’s care. From pictures we could see he was a happy dog. And he got to play outside in a child’s pool and a hosing! His favorite activity. He really didn’t want to come home!”
“My girl had a great time at Erica and Thomas'. I received regular updates and some great photos. It didn't look like she missed me at all lol! Made my trip a lot more relaxing.”
“Thank you sooooo much for taking care of my Willow! You and your family did a wonderful job with her over night visit. I am so blessed to have found you. This is a super family and I would love have them care for my sweet dog anytime. Our communication was fabulous and the photos you shared are so appreciated THANK YOU❤️”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Brittany and her family caring for our sweet boy, Warren. From the very first conversation, we felt completely at ease. Brittany is warm, communicative, and incredibly attentive — the kind of person who genuinely treats your dog like part of her own family. Throughout Warren’s stay, we received thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that reassured us he was not only safe but truly happy. It was clear he was getting lots of love, playtime, and snuggles. Brittany’s home felt like a calm, welcoming environment, and her family embraced Warren as if he’d always belonged there. What really stood out was the level of personal care. Brittany paid attention to his quirks and the small details that helped him feel comfortable, like a comfy couch and soft blankets. When we picked him up, he was relaxed, well-cared for, and honestly looked like he had just come back from his own little vacation. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely loving to care for your dog, Brittany and her family are truly exceptional. We’re so grateful we found them — Warren can’t wait for his next stay! 🐾💕”
“Absolute peace of mind. Leaving older dogs can be stressful, but Elisa made it completely worry-free. She took incredible care of our two dogs and treated them like family. She paid close attention to their medications, supplements, meals and senior routine. We received daily updates and photos. We highly recommend Elisa and will absolutely book her again!”
“We felt very comfortable leaving our Sheltie Winston with Brittney (and family!) and the daily updates and pics were great so we never worried while away. Definitely will use her service again!”
“Torie was great with our two morkies, one of which has PLE and has some intense dietary restrictions. She was very communicative and quick to respond during the stay! Thank you Torie!”
“This was my first time with Laura & my first time boarding my dog at all & she was the perfect fit! All the updates, safety & enrichment I could’ve asked for, my dog even seemed disappointed to leave!”
“Tina and her daughters took amazing care of our dog Zoe for two nights! Zoe is picky about people, but she was immediately comfortable with Tina in her loving and cheerful home. Tina was communicative during Zoe’s stay, sending pictures and updates each day. Thank you Tina!!”
“Shannon is absolutely wonderful. Great communication and my pup had a wonderful stay. She stays on top of my dog’s needs and she has a wonderful space for dogs to enjoy their time.”
“Nina was great and we will definitely use her again. She had no problem managing our playful puppy, sent pictures throughout the day, and took great care of her. She was great at communicating and our puppy returned to us happy and healthy.”
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was young, for about 8 years now as well as dog sat my older sisters two dogs and my oldest sisters three cats. I’ve also house sat for my cousins and grandparents various animals over the years and I love it. Meeting new pets warms my heart and brings me comfort as i’m not from the area it would be nice to get to meet some people from the area and make some new furry friends. I currently work nights so i’m free to pop over in the morning or afternoon and check in on the pets when needed or give them a walk! I love going on walks with my pets so if you want your pet to get a good walk in i’m your gal! I also really enjoy trying to teach pets new tricks with treats and positive reinforcement, and bathing animals so I offer bathing/groom services if needed.
“Eva was wonderful with Tiana! I highly recommend her. She took Tiana on many walks and just loved her. It is so comforting while you are away to know that your pet is being so well cared for.”
“Suzanne is the best! I was actually able to relax on my vacation and not worry about my dog because I knew she was getting excellent care and love while I was away. She also sent daily pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care and have had dogs and other animals for all my life until recently no dogs and miss having one around.. I have always trained my own dogs with basic commands.

I love going for walks and prefer to have a companion. I have a large yard, partially fenced. I have chickens and cats that are spoiled. I am a very clean person, am thoughtful, and always aware of my surroundings.
