Highly-rated overnight sitters - Candler
“Susan took incredible care of my two cats, including administering insulin shots twice daily. She sent daily updates including pictures of the cats happily enjoying their time. She really welcomed them in to her home and I will absolutely hope to see her again the next time I go out of town.”
“Great care taker! Had absolutely no problems and she loved taking care of Oso. We usually have issues because no one want to take the time to understand our dog. But she was very patient and understanding and Oso loved her. She sent us pictures and videos while we were away which our girls enjoyed because they missed him. Thank you so much for taking care of our dog and we are definitely recommending her to all of our friends and family.”
“Sandra was the best! Sending pictures and updates everyday! Butters had the best care possible. I will book again in the future. Thank you very much providing best care.”
“Hugh watched my little lotus for two nights and made me feel completely at ease about leaving him for the first time. Very thankful for Hughs love of dogs and opening his home. I will definitely be bringing Lotus back!”
“Elisa did an amazing job watching my Beagle. She sent videos of their time together which was very thoughtful. Thanks so much for taking great care of her. Will definitely book again when needed.”
“Excellent boarding for Tashia. Large fenced back yard. Very friendly, nice person. I felt our girl was in excellent shape. I would highly recommend anyone to use thos lady, we certainly will.”
“Laquitta and James were awesome with our Chloe. She's a small dog and can be a little picky about who she hangs with. But she enjoyed her week long stay while we traveled out of state. Will definitely use them again and would recommend to anyone else with a smaller dog.”
“I’m very pleased with service and care provided to my dogs by Stephany and family. I would recommend them 100% , They are very sweet and loving with all animals . Thanks guys I appreciate your friendly living environment for my kids .”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“Great communication and wonderful hosts! Our pup seems to have had a wonderful time. For her first time staying with someone I felt felt confident she was in good hands. I will gladly book again.”
“We rebooked with Andi since our dog, Mabel, seemed to love her time with Andi & her family! They took great care of her, sent lots of updates, & even cared for Mabel when she unexpectedly went into heat early. Thanks again Andi for taking care of our berner bear!”
“This was the first time with Lorraine. She helped me feel comfortable with leaving my Skittles. She gave me updates and he came home tired because he played so much with the other doggies! He had such a good time! I will definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future. If you are nervous about leaving your pouch, don’t be! I am very deliberate and discerning when he comes to my boy and she was great!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Alexus! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire process so easy. We probably overwhelmed her with a bunch of information about our dogs, but she handled everything perfectly. We loved receiving pictures of Webster and Charlotte and felt completely at ease knowing they were well-loved. We are very thankful and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Katherine was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. She kept me up to date throughout the day and shared pictures and videos of my girls. She took care of my girls as if they were her own - spoiled and pampered. Katherine was great and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I'll definitely call on Katherine again in the future to take care of my girls.”
“This was our second stay with Denny and our pup instantly recognized her and was wagging his tail because he was so excited to stay with Denny and her family again! He absolutely LOVES her!”

About: Hello, my name is Sam! I love cats. They are my favorite animal in the world (other than dragons.) I have experience administering medication, applying flea treatment, changing/ cleaning litter boxes. I am very attentive and passionate. I have no problem taking care of a sick cat. I will follow your instructions. I would like to know their feeding schedule, please, so I can make sure they stay on track.
“Susan did a great job watching my cat. She was very friendly. My cat allowed Susan to pet her. My cat is pretty standoffish towards most people. Susan really helped me out while I was gone.”
“Shay came twice to our house beforehand and took good notes. She went above and beyond taking care of our kitties and even took special care and measures for our 1 problem kitty until we could get back and get him to the vet today. Highly recommended with kitties and homesitting”
“Nikki always goes above what we expect. One of the cats was on the top of the cabinets and knocked off a bowl. It shattered and Nikki texted me to find out where a broom was. I told her and she not only cleaned up the mess from the bowl, but she swept part of the living room and dining room as well. She is a great cat sitter and we are very very happy that we found her.”
“Our cat was very unhappy when we arrived home - because she clearly missed Berkley! Berkley is everything you want in a sitter: conscientious, communicative and caring. She was great with every aspect of our cat’s care, and had no aversion to administering medicine if needed. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for cats most of my life—from playful kittens to sweet seniors. I provide reliable drop-in visits including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and plenty of love and attention. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether your cats are indoor or outdoor, they’ll be safe, cared for, and never overlooked.
About: I've loved animals my whole life! Growing up, my family had dogs, cats, fish, and even a gerbil. Later, I had two wonderful dogs of my own, so I understand just how much our pets become part of the family. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I have the time to give your pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve—not just quick check-ins. Whether we're going for walks, playing, sticking to their routine, or simply keeping each other company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I love dogs. Friends call me the whisperer. I lost my Princess 2 years ago to cancer and I find that this is the best medicine for me. I love to travel so having another baby right now is not in the cards. Taking care of your baby is the next best thing. I have had people fly me out to Portland, California, and New York to pet sit for them. I absolutley love it. Some of the dogs I have cared for were sick or new family members. I love to take them on new adventures but only if Mom and Dad are okay with it. I also love to train, play, and hug on them. My only job is taking care of your dog, so I am with them the entire day and night. Sometimes they will go on a golf cart ride with me. My yard is not fenced in so your dog would be walked regularly. There are plenty of grassy areas next to and accross the street from me. If there is a schedule you have for the dog that is what will be followed.
“Patricia did amazing at watching our babies while we had a last minute trip we had to make. She followed all of our instructions and made us feel comfortable. I’d highly recommend!”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, worked as a bather at a grooming solon & worked at 2 different dog boarding kennels. I've also pet sat before for neighbors & friends. I'm also very comfterable around dogs & cats. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of love, care & cuddles that they deserve! I have 1 dog that NEVER interacts with pets that stay in my home. When the guest pet is to be let out/ played with my dog is crested behind a closed door & vise versa. The safety of all pets is my top priority!
“Tifany was punctual, friendly and thorough. I truly appreciate the effort and attention to detail while caring for my four cats. I received regular updates and great pics.”
“Absolutely amazing! Alli is the ONLY rover we will book with, we’ve been having her hang out with our fur baby for years. Our girl absolutely adores her & she is so good with her & an extremely kind human. Perfect for overnight visits & drop-ins alike. If you want your fur babe to be loved like you love them - book with Alli!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Candler
“Janelle was super responsive and accommodating. I was driving from Georgia to get something’s done in Ocala. Unfortunately, I was unable to leave our two pups at home. She was willing to take them in with less than 24 hours notice. Every message was responded to within a couple of minutes, if not seconds!”
“Gage and Annie did an awesome job taking care of our two pups! They provided updates throughout the day which we really appreciated. We will definitely be using them again.”
“Brianna and her family were absolutely amazing and caring with my dog Oz... she sent awesome pictures and updates through out the day ... I had no worries or fears ... She was even very understanding and forgiving when my fur baby left his manners at home and decided to mark his ownership all over her beautiful home❤️??... We both look forward to visiting with her again❤️??”

“Was a little anxious about it since it was my first time getting a sitter. However, Nancy and her family took all my worries away. By far my best experience with a sitter. Not only will your pet be treated as their own family, you will also get constant videos and pictures of your pets well being. I highly recommend this sitter for anyone that wants a trustworthy individual that will take care of your pet.”

“Wonderful sitters, Bill and Krista. My wife and I had to drive from California and needed to board our five small furry ones for an afternoon while we secured housing. Bill is a gracious host with a beautiful back yard and his love for animals is very evident. Can’t go wrong with these guys. Will be using their services again.”
“Kobe loved daycare at Lorraine’s house! She also sent several pictures and videos throughout the day which was super awesome. I would only be in Ocala every once in a while for work but I definitely know where Kobe will go next time I’m here. Thanks so much Lorraine!”
“Cyndi was so amazing with our Eevee. She took extra special care of her and provided us with pictures and video during her stay. She also accommodated us on very short notice. We highly recommend her to anyone and look forward to using her again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable dog walker with a genuine love for animals and a passion for providing safe, attentive care. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from energetic puppies who love adventure to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I understand that every dog is unique, so I take time to learn their routines, personality, and individual needs to make sure they feel comfortable and happy. My goal is to give your dog not only exercise, but also companionship, attention, and a positive experience while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to treating every dog like family. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in positive reinforcement, consistency, and building trust with both pets and owners. You can count on regular updates and communication so you can feel confident knowing your furry friend is in caring hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup and becoming someone both of you can rely on! I don’t have a daily routine or pets of my own at this time, I have learned that pet care becomes a set of repeating rhythms spread across the day rather than one big task. A typical routine often looks like this: * Morning: feeding, fresh water, a walk or litter-box cleanup, and a quick check that the pet seems normal in energy and behavior. * During the day: exercise, play, mental stimulation, bathroom breaks, and attention that matches the animal’s needs. * Evening: another meal if needed, more activity or bonding time, grooming for some pets, and preparing a comfortable sleep setup. * Less frequent tasks: brushing, nail trims, cleaning habitats or bedding, training, medications, and vet appointments. Different pets shift the balance a lot. A dog may anchor your day around walks and exercise, while a cat may need shorter play sessions and litter maintenance. Good home pet care usually includes consistent food and fresh water, regular exercise and play, a clean living space, grooming, and attention to health and behavior. Dogs often need walks and training; cats need litter-box maintenance and play. I also watch for changes in appetite, energy, or behavior because those can be early signs that something is off.
“Samantha took excellent care of Jette, my husky/malamute mix. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly comfortable handling a high-energy breed. I appreciated the updates and felt completely at ease knowing Jette was in good hands. Would happily book again!”
“María took excellent care of Fernanda! She did an amazing job and kept me updated the entire time with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell Fernanda was happy and well cared for. Thank you so much for everything—I highly recommend María and would definitely trust her again!”
“Bennie had the best time at Sandra’s house! It was my first time using the app and I was little nervous but Sandra sent plenty of pictures and updates so it made feel better.”
“I have had Bailey stay with Tifany and her family a couple of times, and each time she has ensured that Bailey felt right at home with her other pups! Tifany makes sure her home is clean and dog friendly. Tifany has an outdoor area also ready for the dogs to play and have fun. If they get dirty, Tifany washes them so they come home clean as well as exhausted. She communicates regularly throughout your dog’s stay with pictures and updates. I definitely recommend Tifany and her husband!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. We grew up with a small farm, horses, cows, chickens, bunnies, guinea pigs dogs cats you name it we’ve had it. To be honest, I enjoy animals more than people most times but I’m retired and find It’s very boring so I would love to have something to keep me busy.. I can come to your home or you can bring your pets to mine. I have a fenced in yard lots of room for them to run. I am retired and have lots of time on my hands. I would love to take care of your fur baby and give them lots of love I have a fenced in yard. I do have a small Shih Tzu. He’s very friendly loves people and dogs only thing he bites is lizards.

About: I have always had animals in my life my entire life. My first job was at a dog kennel as a kennel attendant. My family has even fostered animals and helped them find their forever homes. I currently work for the Humane Society. I am currently a part time college student, but I will have plenty of time with your fur babies. Willing to make yours and my schedule work. At the moment I am not accepting animals at my home, but I am willing to go to client's homes to care for their fur babies. Anywhere from letting them outside to play and go for walks to making sure they have food, water, and a clean bed to relax in.
“Gage and Ann were amazing and helped me out last minute. They were very prompt, great communicators, and clearly showed a lot of love to my pup, I could see it on my camera, which gave me total peace of mind. Overall, a great experience and I would absolutely book with them again!”

About: Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I tailor my care to each dog's unique personality and needs. I've worked with a variety of breeds including Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, and rescue dogs. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or specialized attention, I'm here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you're away Over the past two years, I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. From an energetic 8-month-old Staffy puppy I cared for over 6 weeks to sweet senior dogs who need gentle, patient love, I've worked with Great Danes, Border Collies, terriers, rescues, and more. I love going on walks while listening to music or audiobooks, so adding a friendly dog companion is never a hassle! Whether your pup wants to stop and smell every smell or needs a brisk walk to burn off energy, I'm happy to match their pace. I'm also available for drop-in visits to check on your pet, let them out in the backyard, or provide midday company. For cat parents: I understand that cats need patience and respect. I've cared for both indoor and outdoor cats, including seniors requiring medication like steroid treatments every other day. I always let cats come to me on their own time—no forced cuddles, just calm, reliable care. Unfortunately, I'm not offering boarding at my home right now, but I'm happy to provide walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting at your place! Since I'm currently offering drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at the client's home, I focus on making your pet feel comfortable and keeping their normal routine. For dogs: I follow your feeding schedule, take them on walks that match their energy level (whether that's a leisurely sniff-filled stroll or a brisk energy-burner), and provide plenty of playtime and attention. I'm happy to let them out in the backyard for potty breaks and will stick to any special instructions you have. For cats: I respect their independence and let them approach me on their own timeline. I'll handle feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and medication if needed. I'm experienced giving treatments like steroids to senior cats. General care: I'll send you photos and updates so you know your pet is doing well. I can also bring in mail, water plants, or adjust blinds to keep your home looking lived-in while you're away. My goal is to provide stress-free care so your pet stays happy and comfortable in their own environment, and you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
“Susan has repeatedly cared for our dog Mossy in our home and brought her into her home for longer visits. She tends to Mossy's mastif needs with great care, including daily walks, her specific meal needs, giving oral medications, putting in her ear drops, and playtime with all of her many toys. She manages to keep Mossy calm when she gets anxiety from separation or storms. I would highly recommend her to any dog lover!”

I offer walks tailored to your dog’s needs—whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn energy. I’m also experienced with administering both oral and topical medications. In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats, birds, chickens, turtles/tortoises, and hamsters—so you can feel confident all your pets are in good hands.

About: What Pet Parents Can Expect Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 35 years of experience caring for pets of all kind, from pampered pups to quirky cats, bunnies, and everything in between. When your pet is with me, they’re not just getting care, they’re getting love, snuggles, playtime, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I specialize in senior pets, special needs animals, and those who just need a little extra TLC. Whether your fur baby is shy, spunky, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and needs. You can expect: Regular updates with cute photos and notes A calm, nurturing environment A clean, safe space for play and rest Patience, reliability, and tons of love Experience with administering meds and handling special diets Think of me as your pet’s favorite extended family member, the one they’re always excited to see! Hope to meet your dog(s), cat(s), horse(s), etc soon! :) Pet care isn’t just part of my day. It is my day. From sunrise snuggles to sunset strolls, my entire routine revolves around the animals I care for. Whether I’m feeding breakfast to a sleepy pup, giving midday meds to a senior cat, or ending the evening with playtime and cuddles, every moment is planned with pets in mind. Caring for animals has been my lifelong passion, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and understood. I’m always home or nearby, so your pet will never feel alone or neglected. This isn’t just a job to me. It’s who I am. When your pet stays with me, they become part of my heart and my home. The care I provide is 100% customized to whatever that pet's parents do as a routine with them. My goal is to make their stay with me as close to what they are used to as possible.
About: Im in my 50's but Ive always loved animals since i was very young.. i was in 4-H as a teenager & thats when I started petsitting. When I was 28 i started my petsitting/housesitting business. I had that business for 20 years in Ohio. We moved here in 2019. I have continued my petsitting here & love what I do! My visits are about 30 minutes. I do feeding, watering, litter boxes, medications, insulin is okay also. I will bring in the mail and newspaper and water plants & fill birdfeeders. I enjoy walking dogs as well as playing with them in their yard. I am comfortable with many other pets including cats, Birds, fish ()I have a 40 gallon aquarium, & a 10 gallon) hamsters, gerbils (& other rodents) guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas and other lizards. Thank you so much! I also have experience with horses, ducks, goats & a few cows lol! Petsitting is my career so thats my priority. Visits are tailored to your pets needs. I like to schedule as far in advance as possible so I work my days off around what I have in the book. I tailor my visits according to your pet's needs. I can do as many visits per day as you would like. I can also stay longer if you need. When I do "housesitting " , its a bedtime visit, sleepover & morning visit before I head out for other clients. I will do as many drop-in visits as you would like during the day before I return for the overnight (housesit).
About: I have taken care of my families dogs on and off for many years, small and large. I am a very good listener, tell me the rules and I will enforce them. I am a part time college student, Monday and Wednesday afternoons, so I can spend nights those days keeping watch, but the rest of the week? Fully free. 24 hr care. I am quick to adapt my environment once pointed around, I can send scheduled updates on how your "little guy" is doing throughout the day.
About: Since I was a child, I have always had pets in my house; dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, etc. I have experience in basic training, working with senior dogs, medicating dogs, puppies (both caring for and potty training), and body language in dogs. I know much about mannerisms and behavior in dogs as well as how to combat the bad ones. I have worked with all types of dogs, as I have worked in the pet food industry before. I have volunteered with multiple dog rescues in Florida including The Animal League and Hound Haven. I am a certified Canine Training & Behavior Specialist as of 2021. I am currently half way through a pet nutrition course as of 2022. I currently have a business from my home. If I have any markets, I would have to leave during the day for about 4-6 hours to handle that and possibly longer hours due to markets themselves. I have recently moved to a 3 acre plot, in which we are currently building a doggy haven with tons of fenced in running area and in the future pools and play equipment. If a VIP (very important pet) doesn't have access to a backyard I like to walk 3+ times daily depending on the dog. I feed my dogs twice a day on the best food I make myself. I have literal baskets of dog toys as well as safe chews for the dogs who like to chew. I'd rather not take dogs to a dog park as of the safety issue. I have two horses and 18 chickens that roam on my 3 acres and can take dogs as long as they are on leash to meet them. I live with a roommate who also helps take care of any pets in the house. I have five pets in the house; my pigeon, Sterling who 'rules the roost'; my two ferrets, Dobby & Dougal who love to play; my large (75lbs) dog, Blake who is excited at first then is calm; and my medium (30lbs) dog Akira who is most playful of the bunch. I watch all interactions with my pets and do have 'safety' crates for my pets if any issues of socialization.
About: I’m home all day/night pet sitting full time! Once I became a pet owner I never looked back. My fury child is my life. As a pet owner for 14 years I am very skillful in all areas of pet car from teeth brushing to tick picking. I have seen them grow old, loose their hearing, sight and ability to walk, but never once treated them like an old dog. I take seriously the need for touch by brushing their hair as often as possible and giving belly ribs when they turn on their backs for that special attention. My bed is their bed as they like to cuddle and feel safe and secure. I am a morning person and love feeling the brisk air as I watch pets take to the grass for their morning outing. I am home all day/night! I am available as early as 5:30am to receive your fury child into my home. I have plenty of space for them to play and I for one like to keep them in my site. Especially the little ones, they can get into so much. I have 4 dogs parks right in my community and each one is covered in grass. I love to walk, so your pet will never be taken off schedule. I have the best water-resistant floors in the event of any accidents, just wipe and go. I take work/life balance breaks so always free to play with your pets. I am currently home all day/night! I can feed twice a day or more, and I offer treats, walks and lots of play time. I can separate your pet, if need be. I have lots of sleeping space for those that are just tired little pups. My house is quiet, no children so no bother. I have a closed in balcony which provide a nice look out point for your pet. I have stuff animals and dog toys that I leave around the house for playmates as well.

“Jennifer is amazing and takes care of my Lacey as if she is her own! Lacey actual makes gleeful noises when she knows Jennifer is about to arrive! Jennifer was also so kind to make last minute arrangements for Lacey to stay with her parents when we had to head out of town. She’s a marvel, she is trustworthy- & comes & goes from our home when we are not here. Jennifer gets 10 star rating!”
“Ona has been wonderful. I needed to find someone to help my father with his dog because of some health issues and she has been simply GREAT!! Her communication and reliability has been outstanding - especially because I’ve set this up from Colorado. It offers us so much peace of mind knowing we have someone to help walk Jax while my father recovers.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. My neighbors trusted me to watch their dogs as well. I now have 3 big dogs of my own! I can fall in love with any dog regardless of size or temper. In my eyes all dogs need the same amount of love! I am in between jobs at the moment but looking for a part time job as well as this. I also have a 6 month old baby and I am adapted to being a mother at the same time. I make sure they have their water bowls filled. Also will make sure to feed them based on what feeding schedule they are on at the time, and take them for walks daily. Also I’ll make sure they get enough love and affection while their owners are gone.
“Angela has been very patient with me trying to learn how to use Rover. She's done an excellent job with my little Yoshi. He can be a bit of a wild card out on walks and she has handled him very well and he enjoys his walks very much.”

“Great care taker! Had absolutely no problems and she loved taking care of Oso. We usually have issues because no one want to take the time to understand our dog. But she was very patient and understanding and Oso loved her. She sent us pictures and videos while we were away which our girls enjoyed because they missed him. Thank you so much for taking care of our dog and we are definitely recommending her to all of our friends and family.”
“We are so thankful to have found Gage and Ann. They are attentive from start to finish, always answering our questions and helping to reassure us that our dogs are in great hands. Our pups felt right at home with Gage and Ann, quickly adapting and settling in for their vacation. It can be scary leaving your dogs with strangers, but Gage and Ann were immediately comfortable and kind, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We highly recommend them and will absolutely ask them to watch our dogs again in the future. Thank you so much, Gage and Ann!”
“Great communication and wonderful hosts! Our pup seems to have had a wonderful time. For her first time staying with someone I felt felt confident she was in good hands. I will gladly book again.”
“We rebooked with Andi since our dog, Mabel, seemed to love her time with Andi & her family! They took great care of her, sent lots of updates, & even cared for Mabel when she unexpectedly went into heat early. Thanks again Andi for taking care of our berner bear!”
“This was the first time with Lorraine. She helped me feel comfortable with leaving my Skittles. She gave me updates and he came home tired because he played so much with the other doggies! He had such a good time! I will definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future. If you are nervous about leaving your pouch, don’t be! I am very deliberate and discerning when he comes to my boy and she was great!”
“We had a fantastic experience with Alexus! This was our first time using Rover, and she made the entire process so easy. We probably overwhelmed her with a bunch of information about our dogs, but she handled everything perfectly. We loved receiving pictures of Webster and Charlotte and felt completely at ease knowing they were well-loved. We are very thankful and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Katherine was an excellent sitter for my two dogs. She kept me up to date throughout the day and shared pictures and videos of my girls. She took care of my girls as if they were her own - spoiled and pampered. Katherine was great and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I'll definitely call on Katherine again in the future to take care of my girls.”
“Cyndi is incredible. Great energy, welcoming home, attentive, & kept me in the loop while i was out of town. She gave me such peace of mind as I’ve never left my 2 babies with anybody overnight, Highly recommend using her for your future dog boarding endeavors!”
“It was an absolute PLEASURE booking with Allen! I was able to visit ahead of time and was shown where my cats would be during their stay, and I truly appreciate that as someone who is a nervous Nelly! The catio was a fun change for my babies and one didn’t even want to come down when we showed up to pick them up! Allen sent me photos to show me how they were doing and kept me updated which I appreciate! It truly was an easy process and I never felt like my babies weren’t cared for! I would happily book again if needed!”
“Things went well with Achilles and his weekend stay. I got photos of him and things ran smoothly. I was a little late getting Achilles and Bri was more then understanding and communicated well.”
“Shayla treated my furbabies like they were her own- I’ve never seems them so happy at a sitter. They were safe and snuggled - just like at home. Constant updates and pics is such a great touch while traveling. Will use her again and again - for as long as she will have us!!!”
“This was a great experience for myself and my dog. I received updates several times a day with photos and he was loved just like one of their own pets. They also accommodated to keep him for an additional day while I took care of an emergency and were willing to keep him longer if needed. Great experience and highly recommended :)”
About: As a devoted dog mom, I understand that pets are family. Caring for Molly and Thor every day has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and creating a safe, loving environment where every dog feels comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they receive personalized care. Whether your dog loves to play, go for walks, or simply relax, I’ll make sure they feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your best friend is in caring hands. I work from home most of the time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Caring for dogs is already part of my daily routine, so your pet will receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals on schedule, and lots of love. I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always know how their furry family member is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play under supervision. When a new dog arrives, I keep them separated from my own dogs at first so everyone has time to adjust comfortably. If all dogs are relaxed and interactions go well, I gradually introduce them in a safe, supervised way. If a dog prefers their own space, I’m happy to keep them separated throughout their stay. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly, and every dog is treated with patience, kindness, and love like family.
“Taylor & Angel boarded my female Whippet Cinnamon for 30 days and did an amazing job. They did everything I requested and more even trimming her nails and giving her a shampoo. They have 2 acres and Cinnamon played every day with their 2 dogs and actually came home in great shape without her extra baby fat. Thank you girls for your fantastic care and love! I'll be asking you to care for my baby again!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I was raised with pets and have hands-on experience caring for dogs ranging from Boxers and German Shepherds to Terrier mixes. I understand that every pet has unique needs, energy levels, and routines, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have also completed a Leash Reactive Dog Course Certification, which has given me valuable training in understanding and safely handling dogs that may be reactive, anxious, or overstimulated on walks. This helps me provide calm, confident care while prioritizing your dog's safety and comfort. In addition, I have experience caring for cats of many breeds, including Siamese, Himalayan, Maine Coon, and both long-haired and short-haired domestic cats. I've cared for cats from playful kittens to senior companions, giving me experience with age specific needs and senior care. Whether your pet is young, energetic, shy, reactive, or in their golden years, I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every pet as if they were my own family. I currently work from home while my husband grows our family inspection business, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of belly rubs. Animals have always been a big part of my life. Recently, I lost my beloved cat after 17 wonderful years. While we're not quite ready to welcome another permanent pet into our family, the universe seemed to have other plans. A wounded stray cat found her way into our driveway and into our hearts. We took her in, got her the care she needed, and are now helping her heal and thrive. Caring for animals brings me so much joy, and I'd love the opportunity to provide the same love, attention, and dependable care to your pets while you're away. I provide a calm, low-stress home environment where pets receive plenty of individualized attention. Because I work from home, I'm able to give pets lots of supervision, companionship, and engagement throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers relaxing in a quiet setting or needs extra playtime and exercise, I tailor my care to their unique personality and routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.
About: I've had dogs my whole life, worked as a bather at a grooming solon & worked at 2 different dog boarding kennels. I've also pet sat before for neighbors & friends. I'm also very comfterable around dogs & cats. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of love, care & cuddles that they deserve! I have 1 dog that NEVER interacts with pets that stay in my home. When the guest pet is to be let out/ played with my dog is crested behind a closed door & vise versa. The safety of all pets is my top priority!
“Rebecca did a great job caring for my fur baby. She even sent me pics and updates so I could relax knowing she was happy and comfortable. I would definitely book with her again.”
