“Alistair takes great care of my littermate Rotties. He is good about sending pictures and updates on the girls, which gives me comfort that they are being taken care of and are having fun”
“Brooke was fantastic with our two dogs. They stayed with her two nights while we were out of town and we could not be happier with our experience. Brooke was very responsive and answered all of our questions before our dogs stayed. During our stay Brooke was excellent with both our younger, more active dog as well as our older dog who needs a little help getting up sometimes and has daily medications that must be administered. Our dogs were so happy and wonderfully exhausted after their visit and we would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking to leave their dogs in a happy, safe, and caring home while traveling. We expect that we will use Brooke again in the future.”
“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!”
“I am very picky about who takes care of my boy's and I have to say that I was so pleased with Dana. She treated them like they were hers and kept me in the loop with all the awesome pics. I highly recommend her as a top dog sitter you will not be disappointed. Dana thank you so much for your live of dogs we will be back soon..thanks again Mike, Liz Bruiser and Buster”
“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 was extremely nice, our dogs LOVED her and the place! Very spacious and nice. Amanda sent updates regularly and also pictures which made me feel at easy. I will definitely book again!”
“We love Terra and her amazing crew of furry friends! It’s our second time boarding with her and we will keep going to her! Her large yard is a huge plus because our dogs can roam around freely. Lots of pictures and videos everyday and they’re the highlight of our days while we’re away from them! 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!!”
“He was comfortable, content and very well cared for. Susan is delightful and the walks along the riverside path were a bonus for Spartacus. She and her husband treated him like their own! I will definitely book with Susan again! Awesome experience.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Rover! Chris was simply amazing. We were a little nervous leaving our three pups for the first time, but after a meet-and-greet the day before drop-off, we felt completely at ease. Throughout their 5-day stay, Chris sent us regular updates and photos, and it was clear our dogs felt totally at home. When we went to pick them up, they didn’t want to leave—they kept following Chris back into the house! It was such a comforting feeling knowing they were so well cared for and happy. Thank you, Chris! We’ll absolutely be reaching out again next time we need a sitter.”
“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!”

“Brittany was amazing with our dogs. She was prompt, took our big boy for walks and sent us pictures everyday. She was also very understanding with our little old man and his special needs. We will be definitely be using her again.”
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! 💕
About: Someone in my family always had a cat, and I always wanted to be friends because I could never have one. I learned the hard way very young that cat trust is hard earned. Once I was old enough, cats in need of homes fell into my lap and they have taught me more patience than I ever expected, especially when handling introducing new cats to established homes. From fighting flying fur bunnies, to combating the endless litter boxes, cats after surgeries and on meds, I’ve had a lot of experience helping cats feel their most comfortable.
“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 began house sitting in high school for close family friends and neighbors. The first family who trusted me had quite the crew — two birds, a turtle, two senior cats, a dog, and even a couple of fish. Caring for their pets, especially the cats, taught me early on how important consistency and attention to routines can be. Since then, I’ve cared for and walked many dogs while babysitting and nannying, both for short visits and overnight stays. I understand the level of detail it takes to help pets feel comfortable and to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs. My own dog tore his ACL while I was in college, and for months I carried him up and down stairs while managing his recovery. He also had allergies that required daily medicated baths, a special diet, and multiple medications. He was clever enough to try to outsmart me when it came to pills, which taught me patience, creativity, and a sense of humor when caring for animals. I truly believe every pet has a unique personality. I approach pet care with attentiveness, patience, and playfulness so animals feel safe, understood, and well cared for. My goal is always happy pets and complete peace of mind for their owners. I work a full-time schedule during the week, but I’m happy to provide care before and after work and occasionally in the evenings depending on timing and location. With advance notice, I’m also happy to adjust my weekend schedule to fit your pet’s routine. I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible. I treat my pets as family, and I have witnessed my family and friends care for pets as if they are a child. On days I couldn’t bring my dog along, I trusted the people watching him to do the same, and maybe even add a little extra love for missing his family.
“WOW! Monica is amazing. She was available at the last minute and very willing to watch over a kitty who was not feeling well! I had complete confidence in her upon meeting her and I was not disappointed. My cats loved her and she spoiled them with attention. I would 100% recommend having Monica watch your fur family!”
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.
“Leah is amazing with my dogs! She takes them out three times a week for an hour, and they always come back happy and well-exercised. She’s reliable and truly cares. Highly recommend!”
“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 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 have lived with animals my whole life; from chickens, cats, emus, dogs, etc. I can accommodate special needs and will always treat your animals as my own - with love and respect! I am tolerant of behavioral issues, shy animals, and animals with disorders or disabilities. I’ve been taught to take care and provide for animals my whole life. I’ve grown up with a wide variety of dog breeds, from Pit-Bulls, Beagles, Huskies, Shih Tzus, Rat Tarriers, Dachshunds, etc. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! I am available most of the time, and keep my calendar detailed so I can share with you what days I’m available months in advance! I spend most of my time in Alachua, Gainesville, & Branford but can accommodate longer distances with longer stays. Most weekends I am free, and I can easily do drop-in visits nearby! I care for each animal based on the owners needs and requests. I appreciate having a heads up on your pets typical behaviors and habits, and any “rules” you may like them to follow.

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.
“Alejandra took excellent care of our dog while we paddled at Ichetucknee springs. Our girl is shy of other dogs, and Alejandra made sure she had her own comfortable space. Highly recommend.”
“Prior to leaving town, we decided to try day-care at this same facility to gently introduce our two dogs (husky and husky/shepherd) to the location, other dogs, and staff, as this was suggested by Ana to make our dogs more comfortable for boarding. Ana did an hour-long meet&greet with me and both dogs, was wonderful in answering my questions since this is the first time I've ever left them. I dropped my dogs off at 6am, her staff was kind and welcoming, I received updates, pictures, and videos all day long, as well as an update when I picked them up. Everything was wonderful, Ana's place has 6-foot fences, multiple play pens, and large fenced-in areas for dogs to play and be outside independently if they don't feel like interacting. I highly recommend their services, Ana and her staff were so loving to my babies and kind to me with my nervousness leaving them!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Dana is a lovely human being who “gets” dogs and has made her home into a place of comfort and flexibility in response to a dog’s needs. We looked a long time for a caretaker and place that our little Velcro pandemic pup responded to positively and are so happy to have found Dana.”
“Danielle was really nice and Shadow loved her. She had other dogs besides her own, but made sure that everyone was happy and did not get stressed out. Shadow loved the back yard, chasing butterflies, and playing with the Australian Shepherd. She got brushing at the end of the days she was there to get the sand off. She was tired out, which was great. She is still a puppy at 15 months. Thank you.”
“Maria is FABULOUS with both animals and people. She always goes above and beyond in terms of her care of both my dog, Lou, and I. Maria provides daycare to Lou during the week. Lou enjoys playing (and sunbathing) in Maria's big back yard along with her two sweet standard poodles and also enjoys watching television with her children. The moment Lou met Maria he fell in love with her, and he runs straight to her door and to her the moment we arrive at her home (after being welcomed and inspected by her poodles, of course). I am repeatedly using Maria to care for Lou and will continue to do so as long as she is willing to take us in. I tell her often I am so grateful to have found her.”
“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 :)”
“Miranda was great! She took care of my dog and three cats like they were her own. They came back clean and no worse for wear. She worked with my schedule and was very flexible. I appreciated all help and understanding!!”
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. I also build in time for updates, so pet owners always know how their pet is doing. 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 want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and at home. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so I can care for them in the way they’re most comfortable with. 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! 🐾❤️

“Booked Bianca for a walk for my Yorkiepoo, Jasmine, and it was perfect. She showed up on time, asked a couple quick questions, and handled Jasmine like a pro. I got a pic during the walk, and Jaz did that happy-tired nap right after. Easy 5 stars.”
About: I’ve loved animals since being a kid, I have experience with all kinds of pets such as dogs, cats, turtles, fish, birds, other reptiles and more. I’ve personally do not have dogs of my own as of right now, I have a little turtle, a cat, and a fish since I’m in school and cannot pay for a bigger pet :(. I can walk, pet sit, bathe them, take them to them vet, feed them and more. So if you have more than one pet or any kinds of pet I’m more than willing to fit your schedule so I can be there when you can’t, I will also send you funny pictures of your pets. PLEASE NOTE: If you have more than one pet, one will have to be booked under a Standard Rate, all other pets can be an Additional or Extended rate, thank you 😊 I’m currently a part-time student so I basically always have time and what better way to spend it than with a bunch of pets! If you go out for the week and need someone check up on your pets, I’m your girl! I promise to always handle your pets with care and to make sure that your pets needs are always fullfilled and they are comfortable while you are not there. If they have any special needs or certain things that they require, please let me know and I would be more than happy to do anything your pet needs or that you need for your pet.
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: 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 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: 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: 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 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: Hello! I have a lot of experience with taking care of animals! I have been pet sitting cats and dogs since I was a young teenager. In the past few years I have pet sat cows, donkeys, horses, sheep, goats, mules, chickens, and pot bellied pigs!

I’ll treat your babies with the upmost respect and love! I currently have a pretty open schedule and will do whatever necessary for your pets! I am available most days, and will work with you to make the scheduling work! I will follow any and all instructions that you give to me while I take care of your animal! I will respect your space but most importantly your pets! I’m currently not working any other job so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I will make sure to spend the time needed with your babies! I will make sure that I am doing exactly what is asked of me in my clients home. I will provide all the love and care your animal deserves.
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

“Alistair takes great care of my littermate Rotties. He is good about sending pictures and updates on the girls, which gives me comfort that they are being taken care of and are having fun”
“Brooke was fantastic with our two dogs. They stayed with her two nights while we were out of town and we could not be happier with our experience. Brooke was very responsive and answered all of our questions before our dogs stayed. During our stay Brooke was excellent with both our younger, more active dog as well as our older dog who needs a little help getting up sometimes and has daily medications that must be administered. Our dogs were so happy and wonderfully exhausted after their visit and we would highly recommend Brooke to anyone looking to leave their dogs in a happy, safe, and caring home while traveling. We expect that we will use Brooke again in the future.”
“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!”

“We love Terra and her amazing crew of furry friends! It’s our second time boarding with her and we will keep going to her! Her large yard is a huge plus because our dogs can roam around freely. Lots of pictures and videos everyday and they’re the highlight of our days while we’re away from them! 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!!”
“He was comfortable, content and very well cared for. Susan is delightful and the walks along the riverside path were a bonus for Spartacus. She and her husband treated him like their own! I will definitely book with Susan again! Awesome experience.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience with Rover! Chris was simply amazing. We were a little nervous leaving our three pups for the first time, but after a meet-and-greet the day before drop-off, we felt completely at ease. Throughout their 5-day stay, Chris sent us regular updates and photos, and it was clear our dogs felt totally at home. When we went to pick them up, they didn’t want to leave—they kept following Chris back into the house! It was such a comforting feeling knowing they were so well cared for and happy. Thank you, Chris! We’ll absolutely be reaching out again next time we need a sitter.”
“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!”
“Ana is super friendly, caring, and attentive to details.. My dog echo LOVED her stay with Ana. Ana has a big fenced in yard away from any main roads. Ana often hosts doggy day camps as well. Your dog is guaranteed to enjoy their stay and come home tired! 13/10 would highly recommend.”
“Maria ia awesome! We were very happy with Bella"s stay. Bella looked awesome when we picked her up and very excited. I recommend Maria to anyone looking for a great sitter. We will be using her in the future”
