“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“Michelle is wonderful. My dogs were very well cared for during their stay with her. She is a great communicator and a very caring sitter. My dogs and I look forward to benefiting from her generosity in the future.”
“Eve. There is so much to say. She is perfect in every way. A lot was happening in my life and she was steadfast in being there for me and for Olive Forever, the Greyhound. I needed additional days at the last minute and am so grateful that she was available, I would book her anytime for any reason if Olive needs someone to care for her when I cannot. Olive clearly fell in love with Eve.”
“Kym took perfect care of my two pups. She sent daily updates and great photos to show how much fun they were having and even included report cards at the end of the stay! I'd certainly feel comfortable letting my dogs stay again and am sure they'd have a great time”
“THE BEST! Lisbeth took the best care of my old man. 15year old Jake (cat) takes medicine twice a day. Lisbeth's Vet Tech skills were why I chose her, but there were even more things that made us glad Jake was in her hands. It was a last minute booking, and then we requested to come later. She was kind and accommodating throughout the hosting, including letting us come early to pick him up. Lisbeth responded quickly to every text, and she was always cheerful. She sent me a picture of my Jakey-Boy so I could see he was content. He had never been boarded ever, so I had worries, that were needless. If you are deciding who to choose to take care of your fur baby, look no further. You have found the best choice!”
“Janette and Allyson were wonderful doggie sitters while I went off on a cruise. It was a last minute reservation and she was welcomed with loving arms. Highly recommended!”
About: Your dog deserves more than a typical boarding experience—they deserve a calm, loving home where they feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. With over 22 years of hands-on experience, I provide a private, cage-free environment designed for comfort, attention, and peace of mind. I intentionally keep my care more personal and intimate, so each dog receives the time, affection, and supervision they deserve—something I felt was missing in many traditional facilities. Your dog will live as part of my home, not in kennels or behind closed doors. I’m with them 24/7, offering constant care, companionship, and a peaceful routine. My space is designed so dogs always feel included, even if brief separation is needed, using open, visible areas rather than isolation. I also have a large, securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and relaxation. I am CPR certified and experienced in administering both oral and injectable medications, so you can feel completely confident in your dog’s health and safety. While you’re away, I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is not only safe—but genuinely happy, comfortable, and loved. My goal is simple: to give you the feeling that you never truly left your dog behind. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit into my day—it is my day. I keep a small group so I can give each dog my full attention, carefully observing their behavior and well-being. This allows me to notice even subtle changes and respond quickly, keeping you informed and your dog safe, comfortable, and truly cared for at all times. In my home, dogs are never just watched—they’re truly cared for. I stay closely attuned to their needs, whether it’s noticing when they want to go outside, play in the yard, rest, or simply need comfort. I make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, secure environment throughout their stay.
About: I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace, medication support, and extra comfort. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach and commitment to maintaining your pet’s routine. I build trust, follow instructions carefully, and communicate with regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet like my own. I work from home, which allows me to be very flexible and present throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, with plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship. I’m able to maintain your pet’s normal schedule and provide consistent attention, check-ins, and care throughout the day—not just mornings and evenings. Pets are family to me—my dog is my entire world. I care for every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I follow routines closely, keep a calm and safe environment, and provide constant supervision since I work from home. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort and always share updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease.
“We could not be happier with the treatment Skipper received from Olga. She sent us daily pix and he looked so happy. When we picked him up he was clean and frisky. We will use Olga absolutely.”
“Ranae is amazing! I will definitely be a repeat client. She was very good at making sure our baby was comfortable and happy. She also checked in with me at least once per day, with photos, to let me know how things were going. I highly recommend her.”
“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“Karlee did an absolutely amazing job caring for my dogs, Atlas and Jaxon, this weekend. Atlas can be a bit of a difficult dog at times, but she handled him with so much patience, confidence, and care, it truly put me at ease. She also sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay, which meant a lot and helped me feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. Both dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while they were with her. It’s not always easy to trust someone with your pets, especially when one can be a little more challenging, but Karlee exceeded my expectations in every way. I’m so grateful for the attention and care she gave them, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Great communication skills. She was very with fast response to request. She sent pictures of her space to make sure it would work for our needs. She also sent an update and pictures of our boys while in her care.”
“I'm so glad I found Brittany to watch my 2 chihuahuas! She has a backyard which they loved and she sent me updates while I was gone. One of my chihuahuas is 15 so she needs some extra care and attention, and Brittany was able to give her that. I'll definitely be using her again!”
“Linda and Brian have the sweetest dog and my dog just loved them all. He normally is very anxious but he even fell asleep beside Brian and his cute new friend Carmi! I would highly recommend this place!”
“Dr. Hope is the first sitter that has completely put my mind at ease. I know my doggies are well cared for while I’m out of town and they are always excited to go there. I highly recommend her!”

“Stacey was great. Took care of my fur baby while I was out of town. Everything went well. My baby was fed and watered and litter box clean and I had no worries. Loved getting the pictures and little report cards.”
“LeeAnn was absolutely wonderful with our little pup. We had her come do a couple drop in visits while we were at work and felt confident he was in good hands. We also loved the picture updates! We will definitely be booking LeeAnn again in the future! :)”
“Mckayla did an amazing job watching my cat, Panda! She sent lots of pictures, played with her, and gave clear updates that made me feel at ease while I was on my cruise. Thank you again!”
“Michael was very helpful with my last minute cat sitting needs. He provided short but thorough updates each visit, and my cats definitely appreciated their playtime.”
“Lexis is awesome! Very caring and responsive to messages quickly and willing to help with any needs. She is the best person to handle pet needs and she even helped with preparing some things for us before the hurricane when I was far from home. Definitely an awesome person and pet sitter! Thanks Lexi’s!”
About: I’ve always had a dog in my life. From Great Danes, Labradors, and Havanese, I’ve trained all the ages from puppies to adults, and I’m very experienced in pet care. As I am a college student, not only am I very active but am very free to respond to not only pet needs but their owners as well! I am available most weekends and holidays to care for your pets but I can make accommodations based on what works the best for you. I am home for the summer from college and thus am extremely available to help out at anytime while also providing attentive care to your pets. I will care for your pets in their home according to your requirements. I will ensure the utmost care and safety for your fluffy animals.
“Kaitlyn has cared for my dog and cat through both check-ins and overnight stays, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. She is reliable, punctual, communicative, and always provides great updates and photos that give me peace of mind while I’m away. She’s also been able to help on short notice, which I greatly appreciate. Her kindness and genuine care for my pets truly set her apart. I highly recommend her!”
“Alexandra did a fantastic job with our two cocker spaniels, including our energetic puppy. She spent quality time playing with them, took them outside, and made sure they got treats and attention. It’s clear she’s very comfortable handling both puppies and active adult dogs. Our 3 year old can be a handful, and she handled both of them with ease. We came home to two happy, well cared for pups. We’d definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve raised cats since I can literally remember. I grew up in the country, so there were a lot of barn cats around the property, and I remember just always being drawn to the cats. Nothing has changed as now I have 2 of my own little angel girls being spoiled and running my home. Cats have such unique personalities and their trust means SO much since they are not as easy to win over as dogs.
“Julie was fabulous. She dropped in to check on my kitty. Made sure she was good and fed. She also sent me pic. She even brought in our front door deliveries. Definitely recommend Julie.”
About: I was raised in a family full of animals growing up, and was taught how to take care of and train our dogs since I was a child. I have walked 350+ dogs and have a 5 star rating on other dog walking apps. Having been around dogs my whole life, I realize that every dog is different, and each need their own unique care and attention so they can be mentally and physically happy and healthy. I will make sure your pup is loved as if he/she were my own, and they will have a blast too! I love taking tons of photos and videos, and love to keep you posted on how your pup is doing during their stay/walk. Looking forward to working with you.
“Elisa met my expectations and more! We did an meet and greet and right off the bat I knew she was the right one. My cats have a new friend and so do I! Thank you for the love you gave to them!”

“Anu is fantastic! Taz loves seeing her and playing with Izzy. She keeps us informed of how Taz is doing, sends a few pictures and we feel very comfortable leaving Taz with her. Taz has separation anxiety, but has displayed none of it when he goes with Anu. Very happy and have booked Anu several times in the coming weeks.”
“Michelle watched our dog Kona over 4 days while we were in Bradenton on spring break. We appreciated her flexible schedule and all the pics she sent each day which showed our Kona was in good spirits and great care! Super easy drop off and pick ups. Michelle is so nice and friendly. We are so grateful she was available for us. Highly recommend!!”
“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”

“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
“Thank you for the last-minute day care. Logan was so exhausted from playing with the other dogs, he laid down for most of the ride home. We'll see you soon for more playtime!”
“Charlie awas very responsive, and accommodating. His wife took Halo for a walk as soon as we arrived. Charlie sent pictures and updates on Halo. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Gina was amazing with my pup nova. Her home was so cozy and clean. She was so well taken care of and had plenty of toys to play with. Her doodles were also the best companion for my nova to play with. Definitely will book with again!”

About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of every farm animal from horses to chickens. My sister said I was like the Pied Piper. Animals would just follow me around. I have trained therapy dogs and one service dog. I love all animals and they love me. I often say I'd rather spend time with dogs than people. (I like people, too) I was a certified teacher for 38 years and just recently retired. Oh, kids like me, too. I'm currently retired and spend a great deal of my time at home. I teach music lessons one afternoon a week but other than that your dog will have lots of attention. I have a 1/4 acre fenced in yard with an electronic gate that is always locked and can only be opened with a remote gate opener. I live in a very shaded area of the historic part of a quiet neighborhood. . I have a neutered husky that loves dogs from 4 to 150 pounds.

“SO MANY GOOD THINGS I COULD SAY!!! My boyfriend and I look at our two dogs, Hope (almost 2) and Zeus (3 months), like they are children. Our girl Hope can be an escape artist at times and is very active, so we have a collar for her with gps and tracking of her steps. With that being said, in the past I have not re-used some people off rover because Hope simply would not move the entire time!!! At Donnas, Hope and Zeus both ran and ran (after all I could tell). And had an absolute blast. Her yard is fenced in so no dog could get out, even our little lunatics. She knows so much about dogs I have never felt so confident with leaving our babies with someone before. Hope and Zeus will be back!! Truly a gem!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a natural connection to pets of all kinds. I grew up with Yorkies and cats, and today I share my home with two retired rescue greyhounds. I’ve also spent time around large breeds like English Mastiffs, so I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I bring a calm, patient energy that helps pets feel safe and comfortable—whether they’re shy, senior, or full of puppy energy. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel at ease while you’re away, and I’m fully committed to creating that sense of home and routine for them. From administering medications to taking gentle walks or simply being a warm presence, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My love for animals started at a very young age—I even worked at a veterinary hospital at age 14 as a dog trainer, which gave me hands-on experience in caring for and understanding pets. That early passion has only grown stronger over the years. Pet care is now a natural part of my daily life. I start and end each day with walks and quality time with my two retired greyhounds, so caring for animals is woven into my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, giving medication, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I genuinely enjoy every part of it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, care, and consistency they need—whether it’s daily drop-ins, overnight stays, or weekend visits. Making animals feel loved and secure is something I take pride in, and it never feels like a task—it’s something I truly love. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as possible. I follow each pet’s routine closely—feeding schedules, walk times, play preferences, and any special needs like medication or extra quiet time. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and keep things tidy and consistent, so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I take the time to get to know their personality and provide calm companionship, play, and affection based on what they enjoy. In my home, pets are treated like family. I create a peaceful, pet-friendly environment with soft spaces to relax, lots of love, and a routine that helps reduce stress. Whether they need extra snuggles, slow-paced walks, or a little patience, I meet them where they are—physically and emotionally.

About: My hubby and I are home and pet sitters for folks on LBK and surrounding areas. We LOVE some pups to play/spend time with when sitting pet-friendly condos and are also able to come stay with your pet in your home. We will play inside and outside, go for walks, use their family/familiar commands, snacks, food, and naps. Will follow any needed structure requested; example: if you do not allow your dog on furniture, I will follow suit. I offer overnight stays as well as daytime care, a la cart services as needed. I am currently at home each day so have plenty of time to play with and care for pups. I would enjoy the companionship myself as well! We are home and pet sitters and travel often. Although we tend to travel to the same places (clients) each year, our boarding availability depends on the condo we are sitting at the time and it's pet rules. If I cannot board your pup in at my place, I can usually come to you or provide daily drop-ins.

About: Since I can remember as a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & drive to take care of animals and really interact & get to know them. Each has their own personality that are just so fun to explore. From as small as anoles and 3 week old kittens, up to as big as Great Danes & large parrots, I’ve cared for everything and I love getting to know each pet! [small fee for meet & greets past 12 miles (~over 30 minute drive) for fuel, thank you!] Currently, my schedule is free! Looking to try to get into this full time, but anything dealing with animals is my focus! My schedule is very open right now and i’m open to anytimes! I will definitely get to know your pet first, go slow with them and just build a positive, playful rapport with them so they truly get to trust me. Anything you or your pet needs, please let me know and I definitely am so willing to make it happen! I care that your pet is comfortable and happy with me!!
About: I have had all kinds of dogs all my life. Currently we have a border collie, 2 rough collies and 3 basset hounds between our two homes!! I have raised 4 litters and have trained my dogs myself. My border collie travels the world with me and has gone half way around the world and back. Can't imagine my life without her... I know how difficult it is for a pet parent to leave their babies and I will do my best to really bond with your baby so that he or she are happy during your time apart. My Border Collie, Izzy, is also a wonderful, weet natured, gentle dog who will be great company and comfort for your fur babies! My condo is set up with a patio the dogs can use and they are of course welcome everywhere in the house. I have a great dog park a short drive away where I can walk and entertain them when they need it. The people and dogs that come there are great and it is a very friendly and fun place. I also have a pen set up for closer supervision if necessary. And of course I am home almost all the time.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 8. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have owned a French bulldog. I’m currently not working, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 9.00 am. I have 2 wonderful children, 5y 7y. They love dogs and cats very much, we have always had a pet in our family. My family will do everything to make your pet feel like at home. He will be loved and cared for.
About: I currently work at a doggy daycare, and I have walked/sat for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I understand dog behavior and can tell what they need! I currently work at a doggy daycare and spend most of my time with the pups there. When I am not there, I am available to take dogs on walks, do drop-ins, and house sit. Whenever I have free time, I am happy to take your dog for a walk or drop in for a visit! I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment for every pet I care for, while also making sure they’re having a good time! During walks, I stay very alert to my surroundings, keep dogs on secure leashes, and pay close attention to their body language and behavior. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs at a busy doggy daycare, so I’m comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and even the occasional stubborn walker. For drop-in visits, I stick to each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding, fresh water, cleaning up if needed, and giving them attention based on what they like, whether that’s playtime, belly rubs, or just hanging out. I try to make visits something they actually look forward to, not just a quick check-in. I also make sure everything is secure before I leave, doors, gates, and anything else that keeps them safe. On top of that, I keep communication open with owners by sending updates and photos, so you know your pet is not only safe, but also happy!!!

“Michelle is wonderful. My dogs were very well cared for during their stay with her. She is a great communicator and a very caring sitter. My dogs and I look forward to benefiting from her generosity in the future.”
“Eve. There is so much to say. She is perfect in every way. A lot was happening in my life and she was steadfast in being there for me and for Olive Forever, the Greyhound. I needed additional days at the last minute and am so grateful that she was available, I would book her anytime for any reason if Olive needs someone to care for her when I cannot. Olive clearly fell in love with Eve.”
“Kym took perfect care of my two pups. She sent daily updates and great photos to show how much fun they were having and even included report cards at the end of the stay! I'd certainly feel comfortable letting my dogs stay again and am sure they'd have a great time”
About: Your dog deserves more than a typical boarding experience—they deserve a calm, loving home where they feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for. With over 22 years of hands-on experience, I provide a private, cage-free environment designed for comfort, attention, and peace of mind. I intentionally keep my care more personal and intimate, so each dog receives the time, affection, and supervision they deserve—something I felt was missing in many traditional facilities. Your dog will live as part of my home, not in kennels or behind closed doors. I’m with them 24/7, offering constant care, companionship, and a peaceful routine. My space is designed so dogs always feel included, even if brief separation is needed, using open, visible areas rather than isolation. I also have a large, securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and relaxation. I am CPR certified and experienced in administering both oral and injectable medications, so you can feel completely confident in your dog’s health and safety. While you’re away, I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is not only safe—but genuinely happy, comfortable, and loved. My goal is simple: to give you the feeling that you never truly left your dog behind. Caring for dogs isn’t something I fit into my day—it is my day. I keep a small group so I can give each dog my full attention, carefully observing their behavior and well-being. This allows me to notice even subtle changes and respond quickly, keeping you informed and your dog safe, comfortable, and truly cared for at all times. In my home, dogs are never just watched—they’re truly cared for. I stay closely attuned to their needs, whether it’s noticing when they want to go outside, play in the yard, rest, or simply need comfort. I make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and understood, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, secure environment throughout their stay.

“Amanda and her kids did a great job watching our dog, Hans, and treated him like a part of their family. He loved cuddling with her daughter and husband. We plan on using them again soon.”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“Great communication skills. She was very with fast response to request. She sent pictures of her space to make sure it would work for our needs. She also sent an update and pictures of our boys while in her care.”
“Dr. Hope is the first sitter that has completely put my mind at ease. I know my doggies are well cared for while I’m out of town and they are always excited to go there. I highly recommend her!”
“Tara is AMAZING! Our pup boarded with her full time for a week while we were out of town. Professional, caring, reliable, and communicative, just to name a few of her wonderful care giving qualities. Lots of pictures and communication every day. Even on short notice and on top of that our pup started going into a heat cycle while in her care. Tara kept us updated and made sure our pup was safe, loved, and cared for. Could not be happier with this experience and I highly recommend Tara!”
“We are so glad to have found Melissa and Jessica. They were wonderful with our two pups, Milo and Buster! To say these pups are spoilt is an understatement and they came home as happy as can be. Loved getting photos of the boys everyday. 💜🙏💜”

We felt very comfortable and safe with Roxy in her care. We will definitely be booking her in the future for our trips away.”

“Kendal is an amazing dogsitter. It’s always a little nerve wrecking to board your animals but she was always quick to respond to any text messages and provided plenty of pictures. I highly recommend her to any dog parent. You can tell she has a genuine love and compassion towards our four legged fur babies. Thank you so much Kendal! 😊”
“Jane was very attentive to Pippa and hosted a meet and greet to get to know her and asked a lot of helpful questions/sent pictures which was appreciated. Was also super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times:). Thanks!”
“What a wonderful family, and our sweet dog came back happy, healthy, and unstressed. I will definitely reach out again to have them dog-sit. Karson was so thoughtful to send us pictures showing how she was adjusting, since this was the first time she had ever been left with someone. Thank you!”
