“Great lil stay with Samantha. For a short notice request, she was available for the time and was also flexible with my drop off and pick up time. Listened to my needs and directions for Bandit to a tea. Would recommend to any body needing a dog sitter for the day!”
“Alistar was absolutely terrific with my fur baby. I went on a cruise and boarded her with popular company, her first time being boarded, they told me she didn’t eat, couldn’t be around other dogs because she was so scared, she had diarrhea vomiting and weight loss.the vet gave me meds for her for boarding , said it was separation anxiety.This cruise I found Alistar, what a treasure! He treated my baby like his own. She ate ( a lot) had zero issues and played with other dogs. I got videos and pics almost daily. Never once did she need calming medication. Not only does Alistar care but he’s knowledgeable in pet care as well. My furs baby had a wagging tail alot.”
“This was the second time we left our girls with Crystal. This time was so we could attend my grandma’s celebration of life, out of town. Knowing our girls were well taken care of was such a relief and one less thing for me to worry about. Thank you, Crystal, for always taking such good care of our girls!”
“Our Black Lab is a little skittish around other dogs so when Brooke said she babysits other dogs were we apprehensive.well...our apprehensions vanished when we met Brooke and her own dog! Duke loved her and the huge yard. He stayed there a week while we were on a cruise and almost daily we sent emails and photos back and forth to each other. Duke seemed at home and we feel very confident he had a great time. We will definitely use Brooke again. She is a kind dog loving sitter and it showed!”
“Thanks again for boarding our 9 month old dog Anya for an entire week during the holidays. Anya had a great time with your dogs as well as the other dogs you were boarding. She came home tired from all her playing, which gave us time to unpack and relax. We really appreciate you taking her on such short notice.”
“Danielle has been just amazing with my Great Dane, Kiera! Danielle and her family make Kiera feel so much at home! My pup, ok she is 7, but pup at heart, looks absolutely wonderful when I pick her up and just as happy in all the pics that Danielle sends. Thank you so much Danielle for taking such wonderful care of my goofy girl! :)”
“Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“Amanda takes such great care of my girls! She made them (& me!) feel comfortable upon arrival by showing us the room and beds they’d be staying in. My dogs can be very high energy and she was patient and helped them feel right at home!”
“Out of town to visit family in Nashville, unable to take my pups. Contacted Reva 5 days before and she was available, the pups had stayed for a day with her before and enjoyed the backyard. We are grateful for her kindness and patience and time with our anxious, Velcro German Shorthair pointer pups. Thank you and I highly recommend.”
“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”
“Shawna was absolutely amazing with Huggy! She took such great care of him while I was away for a few days, and her daily updates and photo check-ins gave me total peace of mind. Communication was super easy from start to finish, which made the whole boarding process completely stress-free. I’d trust her with Huggy again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”

“So grateful to find Kathleen and her family! Right away my pup ran to them, acclimated very well. Her demeanor was very welcoming and peaceful. She was also very responsive and sent updates throughout the duration of Page’s stay. He had an amazing time with them and came home his happy and normal self. To an individual with a pup this is so very important! I will definitely be sticking to boarding with Kathleen. 10 out of 10 experience! ❤️”
“Hank boarded several nights/days with Ana, and my experience was great! Ana sent me notes, pics, videos frequently. The facility is also beautiful with lots of room to run around and alot of shade. The staff were also very attentive to my requests. I will be using Ana again next time we need her for daytime play or overnight boarding.”

About: ◾️ When people ask if I'm a dog or a cat person, I say, "I'm an animal person!" I have a lifelong passion to care for nature and animals, whether cats, dogs, or other critter friends! I grew up with several pets who were part of the family, including a dog and four cats. Currently, I have a crested gecko named Savoovfy 🦎 and a mixed Jack Russell dog named Taro 🐶 , whom I adore. I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕
“Absolutely great taking care of our two cats. She took the time to play with them in addition to feeding them and taking care of their litter. Provided lots of information and pictures about the daily visits and. 5/5 would definitely recommend if you need someone to watch your fur babies!!”
About: I have a lot of people on my behalf that would recommend me to sit your animals. I have the biggest heart for every animal! Dog sitting fits my schedule very well, with weekday availability after 5 PM for walks, feeding, and care, and flexible, devoted time throughout my weekends. I prefer to watch your animal at your home, ensuring comfort and familiarity for them, unless an emergency happens that requires alternate arrangements for their care.
About: I’ve cared for cats throughout my life and understand how important it is to respect their space and routine. I’m patient, observant, and attentive to each cat’s personality whether they’re playful, shy, or independent. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, and making sure your cat feels comfortable and stress free while you’re away.
About: Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I am hoping to become a trusted caretaker for you & your fur family within the Gainesville community. My whole life, my family has always had a house full of animals- from dogs and cats to lizards, birds, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Now, as an adult, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all with extremely unique and different personalities. I spent 6 years volunteering at my local humane society and have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with any breed of dog and I am also very respectful of cats, I am keen on pets cues for boundaries. I understand all pets are different and I’d be honored to help you and your fur family in your time of need, while on vacation, etc. I’ve used rover in the past as a customer and have had good experiences with the app. I am new to this area but if you give me a chance I promise to take the best care of your pets while building trust in this community. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! I have no problem waking up very early or stopping by very late and any time in between. My schedule is flexible at the moment. Every pet is unique and different in their own way. I have had a lot of experience with my own pets and my time volunteering at the humane society - I understand some dogs try to run out every chance they get or some dogs are food aggressive. I typically like to know your routine, with detailed notes/stopping by and introducing myself so you can show me how to properly care for your pet(s) while you are away. Trust is important and I know it can be scary using an app for pet care. Our pets are our family and I hope to start building a reliable reputation within this community.
“I’m always worried about leaving my cat Addie when I go on trips. Nicole was a terrific find! She was professional, sent daily photos/updates, and took great care of Addie. She even brought in all of my mail. I will definitely use Nicole again for future trips.”
About: *I have been taking care of pets not only on a personal level for over 20 years but on a professional level as well for 10 years. I have prior experience as a veterinary technician assistant and can handle pets no matter what the situation may be. I have prior experience with senior pets or even pets with special needs. I of course have experience with pets that are full of energy and love to play. And we can't forget about the puppies who need help with socializing and potty training. I can also give baths, ear cleaning and nail trims as well just let me know. *All animals are unique in their own special way, they have things they like and things they do not like, while in my care I can promise that their care will be fitted to your fur babies needs while you are away. *I am always available to give your fur baby all the love and attention they need while you are away. I am available for drop ins, daycare, boarding just let me know the dates and times that you are needing and we can get it arranged. *I live in a house on a secluded 1.32 acres of land along with a large fenced yard. I have 2 small children as well but trust me I have experience with spicy animals as well as making sure safety is a priority. I have 5 friendly dogs that would love to have play dates or I can easily crate or separate my own personal pets or your pets (with your permission) if needed. If crating is not an option my house is set up to where I can keep my personal pets and your pets separated from each other without the need of crates. I also have plenty of toys and even a doggy pool to help keep your fur babies happy while you are away. I offer the option of pickup/drop offs being done but only by meeting outside, I do not want the fur babies to feel like I am taking them away from their owner. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have two beautiful children along with 5 very spoiled dogs that I consider my own children as well. I have a fenced yard and crates if you are okay with crating. I also have baby gates as well. If dogs need to have separation time that is understandable or if they need to be separated 100% of the time I can have that set up with no issues. Everyone's safety is 100% important no matter what.

About: Caring for animals is truly part of my family’s everyday life. I’m not just a sitter, i’m a mom raising children with the dream of being future animal rescuers. Pet sitting is the beginning of the journey. Every pet who stays with us gets patience, playtime, and a safe, loving environment. I’m experienced with small breeds, senior pups, and pets who need a little extra running time. We treat every animal like they’re part of our home, and we’re excited to build something great through the care we give. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine because animals are already a big part of our home life. We start our mornings with potty breaks, fresh water, and a little playtime before the day gets going. Throughout the day, I do work full time from home. Being home I am able to give regular attention, snuggles, and check‑ins, and my daughter loves being involved in gentle ways as she works toward her dream of becoming an animal rescuer. Evenings are for winding down, treats, and cozy time. Caring for pets isn’t something we squeeze in it’s something that naturally fits into the rhythm of our home. I’m home full time, so visiting pets get steady attention and reassurance throughout the day. I have three dogs of my own, including two rescues, and they’re all friendly, well‑socialized, and happy to welcome a new friend. A portion of my yard is set up specifically for dogs, giving them a safe place to play and explore. I’m also able to separate pets when needed, both inside and outside. With two buildings on my property and a dedicated run available, I can create calm, individual spaces for dogs who need breaks, slow introductions, or a quieter environment. Whether your pet enjoys being social or prefers a little extra space, I make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for the entire time they’re with us.
“She took such good care of our baby. It was a last minute trip and she was willing to work with us on short notice. Our girl is exhausted and happy after her day with Alejandra. 5 Stars++++”
“Crystal was very sweet with Aiden and great with keeping us updated. Beautiful home with lots of room to run around! It was great knowing our pup was with someone we could trust as we spent the day on the river!”

“Samantha is wonderful! She is flexible, easy going, and shows sincere care and love for my dogs, Teddy and Lou. I found her very helpful in terms of transportation for the dogs too. My dogs enjoyed their time with her and her husband. I am definitely planning to use her services again.”
“I highly recommend Kimberly for all your pet sitting needs! She made me feel at ease leaving my baby for the first time ever. She sent me lots of pictures and videos while my puppy Luna was in her care :)”
About: My brother and I work from home, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, to include caring for senior dogs through end of life care. During the day I’m a special education tutor, so have tons of patience and empathy! I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for hot spots or other treatments to vet orders, and keeping a watchful eye while you’re away! Part time tutor, part time studying for law school, so your pup will get plenty of belly scratches and one on one attention. My dog loves being around other four legged friends, so they will have a built in bestie to run around with (or just sit around with). I either work from home or have two hour sessions with my clients. My brother lives with me, so someone will almost always be around to let the dogs out and give them plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced in backyard, with one playful and sweet young dog who loves everyone she meets. We are a very dog focused household, and are in the process of installing a doggy door so the pups can go in/out as they please (when we are home, it will be locked when out running errands).

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own because I know how much they mean to you. I don’t just “watch” animals I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and little quirks so they feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ve worked with both puppies and senior pets, so I understand how different their needs can be. Whether it’s helping reinforce potty training and leash habits for younger dogs, or giving extra patience, gentle care, and medication support for older pets, I adjust to what your pet needs. You’ll never be left wondering how things are going. I send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: Give your pet a stress free, loving experience and give you total peace of mind. Throughout the week, I stay flexible so I can accommodate different routines, whether it’s early morning visits, evening checkins, or multiple visits per day.

Since I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, it’s not just a task, it’s something I look forward to, making it easy to give each pet the care and attention they deserve. I provide care based on what makes each pet most comfortable, whether that’s in my home or yours. In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship, so they feel safe in their own space. I’m respectful of your home and keep everything clean and consistent.
“Zakary was a wonderful dog sitter. They communicated before my stay as well as during my stay. They took amazing photos of my dogs. They have a wonderful yard in the front of the house with obstacles for your dogs in a very safe gated area. I would absolutely use them again during my next trip in Gainesville. Oh, and they gave my dogs, home-cooked chicken and rice with my permission.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with all kinds of pets, from dogs and cats to bearded dragons, sugar gliders, and parrots, and I’ve always had a huge soft spot for animals of all kinds. 🐾 I worked at Pet Supermarket from the time I was 16 until I was 22, and I also spent a year and a half in vet tech school. Caring for animals has always been something I truly love, and I’m happiest when I’m around them! I know how much our pets mean to us because they’re family, and I treat every pet I care for just like they’re my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away—and to give you plenty of peace of mind along the way! ❤️ I currently work full time remotely so I have plenty of time to walk, feed, bathe and play to make sure your pets needs are fully taken care of while also having fun!

I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re playing, going for a walk, or relaxing at home. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’m respectful of their space and their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while their family is away. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so communication is really important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can see that your fur baby is happy, safe, and being spoiled while you’re gone! 🐾❤️

I'm also looking for a cat to adopt to join the crew soon! 🐈 ◾️ For many years now, I have been pet-sitting for family and friends. Last year I started pet-sitting professionally, and I have loved getting to meet so many incredible pets and spending time with them 😄 ◾️ I have had the joy of caring for a variety of pets of all ages, breeds, medication needs, and energy levels ⚡️, ranging from young to old, from chihuahuas to mastiffs to mixed dogs, from domestic shorthair cats to Maine Coons, and also including reptiles, birds, and fish. I truly look forward to every walk or jog, every drop-in, every moment with the pets. ◾️Outside of pet-sitting, I love hiking, photography, and art (often with my pup by my side! 📷🌳). Can't wait to meet your furbaby! 💕 ◾️ I am a full-time pet-sitter with flexible booking times, so I can accommodate a variety of times to best maintain your pet's/pets' routines! 🗓 ◾️ In-home pet care can work best for many pets, since they are in their most comfortable environment. I am happy to help care for your pet/pets in your home in the best way possible, depending on their needs and personality. I have fun taking dogs for short walks or for longer adventures 🌎, at a slow pace or jogging. I also always enjoy playing with dogs or cats 🎉, or just hanging out with them and checking on them if they're in a more chill mood. I walk dogs rain or shine and will dry their fur afterwards (as long as you and your pup are comfortable with the rain!) I always love getting to see multiple animals at once, and other cute critters like birds, rodents, reptiles, and fish are always welcome too! I am experienced in administering a variety of medications as well, and I am certified in delivering pet CPR and first aid. ◾️ Boarding pets in someone else's home can be a great option as well in some cases. I am unable to offer boarding at this time since I live in a small apartment, but my dream is to board all the animals once I have a house with a backyard! 🏡
About: Since early childhood I have been an animal lover and had the unique hands on experience of raising dogs, cats and rabbits at a young age. I’ve been training dogs since I was a teen and have been professionally training since 2018. I earned my IBPSA certification for pet care, canine behavior and dog training in November of 2022. I’ve had the pleasure of providing senior care, puppy care and medicine administration. I’m currently enrolled in Animal Behavioral College to earn my certification as a dog trainer through them. I’m self employed and can be available for your pet and their needs frequently. My schedule is flexible and allows me more time to care for your pet. I have a fenced yard, large dog run and four large dogs for companionship with your pet at home. I can crate your dog if needed. In your own home I follow your guidance on your preference of care, and am available solely for your pets needs while I am there. Walks, playtime, engagement and companionship are top priority for them while they are in my care. Walks are fun and enriching for your dog as they are encouraged to take time to relieve themselves and interact with their environment. Cats are given love and support as they prefer, my lap is ready for them if they chose to grace it with their presence and my fingers are ready for petting. Kitties are also encouraged to interact and play for some enrichment.
About: My extensive hands on experience with dogs, especially large breeds like American Bulldogs. With over 6 years of showing dogs in AKC and 4-H programs, 3-4 years as a breeder, and a lifetime of dog ownership, I bring a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, and care. I’m well versed in handling the unique needs of large and strong dogs. I’m currently enrolled in college classes that are all online and don’t have a job so I’m available at almost anytime/days I may be needed. I have 4 American bulldogs all different ages that require multiple potty trips all at different times therefore I’m used to going in and out at all times of the day/ night
About: I have been dog sitting on Rover for the past ten years and have loved it always. I give pet owners updates 2-3 times a day with pictures or videos of your pet so you dont have to worry about them when you’re away. I love taking care of all animals, rowdy or calm! I live right across from a huge fenced-in dog park which we can explore anytime. We can run around all day, and when we're all tired, we can lounge on the couch and relax. I take daily walks, which your pet is welcome to join. I take care of pets like they're my own, I just love them so much! My house will be like a home away from home for your pet. I am home working on writing and grading every day so other than a few hours throughout the day, I am on site I am home the entire day to care for your pup. I will play or snuggle with the pets based on their energy and preferences! They will get treats as often as you tell me to give them (I know some pups are on a diet so I will wait for you to say if it’s okay to give any treats). They will go outside as often as they need and spend all winter inside a warm living room with me
About: Hi there! My name is Marissa, and I am hoping to become a trusted caretaker for you & your fur family within the Gainesville community. My whole life, my family has always had a house full of animals- from dogs and cats to lizards, birds, rabbits, hamsters, etc. Now, as an adult, I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, all with extremely unique and different personalities. I spent 6 years volunteering at my local humane society and have experience walking, feeding, bathing, and caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats. I am very comfortable with any breed of dog and I am also very respectful of cats, I am keen on pets cues for boundaries. I understand all pets are different and I’d be honored to help you and your fur family in your time of need, while on vacation, etc. I’ve used rover in the past as a customer and have had good experiences with the app. I am new to this area but if you give me a chance I promise to take the best care of your pets while building trust in this community. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! I have no problem waking up very early or stopping by very late and any time in between. My schedule is flexible at the moment. Every pet is unique and different in their own way. I have had a lot of experience with my own pets and my time volunteering at the humane society - I understand some dogs try to run out every chance they get or some dogs are food aggressive. I typically like to know your routine, with detailed notes/stopping by and introducing myself so you can show me how to properly care for your pet(s) while you are away. Trust is important and I know it can be scary using an app for pet care. Our pets are our family and I hope to start building a reliable reputation within this community.
About: I have spent my whole life with pets and have always struggled with who will watch my pet while I am working or traveling. I want to make sure that people have no worries when it comes to having to leave there pet for work or travel. Open availability and free time spend time with them and the puppies and older dogs walk with them play ball etc give them all the Love Love spending time with my dog giving treats play with them outside and throwing the Ball to them love puppy’s and animals keep them safe
About: I care very much for the well being of animals and want to make sure that the pets waiting for their owners feel safe with me. After work is usually when I will be able to, my work schedule is pretty random so I would work with the pet owners depending on how long they need me for. My backyard is nice and big enough to run around, but not secure enough for me to leave the pet alone back there. My front yard is nice too but needs the front gate fixed.
About: Hey! My name is Dylan, and throughout all my years of life I have always been around dogs. My parents always had one, and as an adult I have owned and trained multiple. Being around them has given me lots of experience on care, play, and training, and I love hanging out with them! I'm currently self employed and am available all days of the week! My schedule is very flexible and can meet your pup's needs I can easily crate your pup when needed, I can administer medications if your dog or cat is currently taking them, and I am more than happy to follow any special instructions you may have!
About: *I have been taking care of pets not only on a personal level for over 20 years but on a professional level as well for 10 years. I have prior experience as a veterinary technician assistant and can handle pets no matter what the situation may be. I have prior experience with senior pets or even pets with special needs. I of course have experience with pets that are full of energy and love to play. And we can't forget about the puppies who need help with socializing and potty training. I can also give baths, ear cleaning and nail trims as well just let me know. *All animals are unique in their own special way, they have things they like and things they do not like, while in my care I can promise that their care will be fitted to your fur babies needs while you are away. *I am always available to give your fur baby all the love and attention they need while you are away. I am available for drop ins, daycare, boarding just let me know the dates and times that you are needing and we can get it arranged. *I live in a house on a secluded 1.32 acres of land along with a large fenced yard. I have 2 small children as well but trust me I have experience with spicy animals as well as making sure safety is a priority. I have 5 friendly dogs that would love to have play dates or I can easily crate or separate my own personal pets or your pets (with your permission) if needed. If crating is not an option my house is set up to where I can keep my personal pets and your pets separated from each other without the need of crates. I also have plenty of toys and even a doggy pool to help keep your fur babies happy while you are away. I offer the option of pickup/drop offs being done but only by meeting outside, I do not want the fur babies to feel like I am taking them away from their owner. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have two beautiful children along with 5 very spoiled dogs that I consider my own children as well. I have a fenced yard and crates if you are okay with crating. I also have baby gates as well. If dogs need to have separation time that is understandable or if they need to be separated 100% of the time I can have that set up with no issues. Everyone's safety is 100% important no matter what.

“Great lil stay with Samantha. For a short notice request, she was available for the time and was also flexible with my drop off and pick up time. Listened to my needs and directions for Bandit to a tea. Would recommend to any body needing a dog sitter for the day!”
“Alistar was absolutely terrific with my fur baby. I went on a cruise and boarded her with popular company, her first time being boarded, they told me she didn’t eat, couldn’t be around other dogs because she was so scared, she had diarrhea vomiting and weight loss.the vet gave me meds for her for boarding , said it was separation anxiety.This cruise I found Alistar, what a treasure! He treated my baby like his own. She ate ( a lot) had zero issues and played with other dogs. I got videos and pics almost daily. Never once did she need calming medication. Not only does Alistar care but he’s knowledgeable in pet care as well. My furs baby had a wagging tail alot.”
“This was the second time we left our girls with Crystal. This time was so we could attend my grandma’s celebration of life, out of town. Knowing our girls were well taken care of was such a relief and one less thing for me to worry about. Thank you, Crystal, for always taking such good care of our girls!”
“Our Black Lab is a little skittish around other dogs so when Brooke said she babysits other dogs were we apprehensive.well...our apprehensions vanished when we met Brooke and her own dog! Duke loved her and the huge yard. He stayed there a week while we were on a cruise and almost daily we sent emails and photos back and forth to each other. Duke seemed at home and we feel very confident he had a great time. We will definitely use Brooke again. She is a kind dog loving sitter and it showed!”
“Thanks again for boarding our 9 month old dog Anya for an entire week during the holidays. Anya had a great time with your dogs as well as the other dogs you were boarding. She came home tired from all her playing, which gave us time to unpack and relax. We really appreciate you taking her on such short notice.”
“Danielle has been just amazing with my Great Dane, Kiera! Danielle and her family make Kiera feel so much at home! My pup, ok she is 7, but pup at heart, looks absolutely wonderful when I pick her up and just as happy in all the pics that Danielle sends. Thank you so much Danielle for taking such wonderful care of my goofy girl! :)”
“Shalom did an amazing job watching my dog, Carti, while I was away for work. From the beginning, she was professional, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent regular updates and pictures throughout his stay, which gave me peace of mind and reassured me that he was having a great time. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Carti and treated him like one of her own. When I picked him up, he was happy, well cared for, and seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed his time with her. I would absolutely trust Shalom to watch Carti again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Shalom!”
“Tatiana and her family were a great fit for Holi. They provided her the lots of love and attention and she had a blast playing with the kids and pups. Tatiana was great with updates throughout the stay and was super responsive to any messages. We will for sure rebook with her in the future.”
“Amanda takes such great care of my girls! She made them (& me!) feel comfortable upon arrival by showing us the room and beds they’d be staying in. My dogs can be very high energy and she was patient and helped them feel right at home!”
“Out of town to visit family in Nashville, unable to take my pups. Contacted Reva 5 days before and she was available, the pups had stayed for a day with her before and enjoyed the backyard. We are grateful for her kindness and patience and time with our anxious, Velcro German Shorthair pointer pups. Thank you and I highly recommend.”
“Ruby had such a great stay with Terra and her sweet pups! We loved getting the daily check-ins, photos and videos — it made us feel so comfortable knowing Ruby was having such a fun time and being so well cared for. It was clear Ruby felt right at home. We’d absolutely book with Terra again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative sitter.”
“Sam is amazing and so responsive! My pup always has an amazing time there with them. I have brought my dog here on a few occasions now and wouldn’t feel good leaving her with anyone else! Will always go back!!”
“Shawna was absolutely amazing with Huggy! She took such great care of him while I was away for a few days, and her daily updates and photo check-ins gave me total peace of mind. Communication was super easy from start to finish, which made the whole boarding process completely stress-free. I’d trust her with Huggy again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and co-workers. Taking them for walks, providing them with attention, and giving them medicine. I am very reliable. I follow the exact instructions that are given. I am home for most of the day. Which means I am available throughout the day to walk, play or just hang with your pet. If you would like me to feed them at a certain time I can do that as well. My dog usually eats at 5am and 5pm. I have a yard for dogs where I can walk dogs outside and where they will be safe. I have a dog of my own, who loves other animals. She also loves playing tug of war. If you need me to go by your home, whatever your instructions are I will follow.
“So grateful to find Kathleen and her family! Right away my pup ran to them, acclimated very well. Her demeanor was very welcoming and peaceful. She was also very responsive and sent updates throughout the duration of Page’s stay. He had an amazing time with them and came home his happy and normal self. To an individual with a pup this is so very important! I will definitely be sticking to boarding with Kathleen. 10 out of 10 experience! ❤️”
“Hank boarded several nights/days with Ana, and my experience was great! Ana sent me notes, pics, videos frequently. The facility is also beautiful with lots of room to run around and alot of shade. The staff were also very attentive to my requests. I will be using Ana again next time we need her for daytime play or overnight boarding.”
