“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”
“Sandra was great. Very easy to arrange everything from pickup to drop off. On the pictures it looks like for the first time our dogs enjoyed their vacation too. Maybe because they had access to the pool or just because they also felt very welcome by Sandra.”
“Randal was an absolute delight to correspond with, and our pup Molly seemed thoroughly delighted. Randal provided multiple updates, pics and videos: keeping us in the loop. We’ll absolutely be checking to see if he’s available on our next trip out of town. Leaving Molly with Randal & Karen will be a no-brainer on our next multi-day excursion.”
“I never give anyone 5 stars, but Karen and her husband are amazing!! Cole had the best time. We received many videos of him playing. He was very well taken care of, and we will definitely be using their services again.”
“Harley loved her stay. Lorie was great with everything. Communication was excellent. She sent a pictures and I'm very thankful that she was able to take me at the last minute. I will definitely book with Lorie again and would recommend her.”
“We had an out-of-state family wedding before we recently got our puppy Scooter. Not being able to take him with us, and having no one to watch him, we searched on Rover.com. We are extremely happy we found Tara. She was willing to meet with us first just to get acquainted with him before our trip. He did wonderfully. Tara took such very, very good care of him. She truly loves what she does and it shows. We trust her 100%. Do not hesitate to leave your family member with her. Tara is the BEST!!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.”
“Honestly this was the best experience we have ever had with a rover sitter. Alain and his wife are so kind, they live in a beautiful and very clean house with a nice fenced in yard. They sent multiple videos daily showing Tater Tot being loved on. I think Alain played more ball with Tater daily than Tater is used to. Would 100% use them again in a heart beat.”
“This was my first time having Thomas and Lyndsay watch my baby Dunkin and had a great experience. I travel for work so finding/having a consistent dog walking/boarding person is incredibly difficult sometimes, but Thomas and Lyndsay were so nice and they even allowed my dog on the couch and bed since he is already allowed on furniture in my home. 🥰 I would 100% reach out to Thomas and Lyndsay again. Thank you so much! ☺️”
“What can I say they were AWESOME! I had a situation where another sitter canceled on us at the last minute and we had a flight in the morning reached out to them and with no hesitation and against their protocol to meet and greet with no hesitation accepted it and believed in us about our beloved pet behavior and ways and accepted to watch her I couldn’t thank him enough as he made our vacation plans great he is definitely our sitter for our pet and we will only use him and his services communication is flawless and our pet had a great time in their care. Thank you.🙏🏼”
“Maggie was taken care of really well. She was played with and loved. I really love the pictures that were sent, and they really ease my anxiety for leaving Maggie May. Only the second time in her five years of living. I would highly recommend any one to use Meltem, as I plan to in the future.”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with this sitter. We had to make last-minute arrangements for our senior dog, Lola, while we were vacationing in Sanibel after discovering that our condo no longer allowed pets. Lola is highly anxious, and leaving her is always stressful for us, so finding someone we could trust was incredibly important. From the very beginning, communication was exceptional. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Lola was in great hands. Not only did she take excellent care of Lola, but she also graciously allowed us to visit and take Lola for walks during the week. She made sure Lola got plenty of exercise, socialization with other dogs, and lots of love and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for her. The biggest testament to the care she provided came on the last day. As we drove away, Lola actually watched her new friend leave and whined for her—a reaction we've never seen before. That told us everything we needed to know about the bond they had formed. If we ever return to Sanibel, she will be our first call. Every Rover sitter should strive to provide this level of care, communication, and compassion. We are beyond grateful for how wonderfully she treated our Lola. Thank you!!!”
“Natasha was amazing! She gave us updates everyday and sent pictures as well. Lulu was so happy in all the pictures. When we picked Lulu up she was trying to take Natasha home with us; making sure she was following us to the car. I will definitely be rebooking with her and everyone should leave their fur babies with her. She is so loving and caring.”
“I'm so glad we found Krista to care for our dog while we were out of town, she took great care of him! My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”
“If you want your furry babies to be loved when you "have to" go on vacation... this is who you need to contact. Absolutely, the best. We had a quick meet and greet before our scheduled date and they were so accommodating. Both Callie and Maverick were so happy to be in their company. Already planning another vacation so our doggies can go to Laura and Evan's house.”
“Vetra was amazing with my girls and I highly recommend her! I have already rebooked for a second stay. Vetra kept my girls on their routine and sent me pictures and messages to let me know they were doing well. I was able to fully enjoy my trip knowing that they were being well loved and cared for while I was gone.”
“Jerald and his wife Sharon took excellent care of my little Schnoodle, June. I could immediately tell they loved dogs when June snuggled up to them during our meet and greet. Jerald also provided me with updates and photos. 100 percent recommended!”
“Cynthia and her family did an amazing job watching AK during our long weekend trip. Cynthia sent daily updates, videos, and photos during AK's stay in their home. Cynthia took the time to ask all important questions to ensure AK was well cared for and adjusted to her know in a comfortable manner. Cynthia was kind to adjust the stay and allow AK to stay another night due to delay in travel plans. When arriving home after picking up AK Cynthia included a sweet picture of AK during his stay in her home. We will definitely be using Cynthia and her family's services again.”
“Definitivamente la mejor Sitter que pudimos encontrar para Lexie. Siempre nos mantuvo informados sobre Lexie, fotos hermosas y todos los miembros de la familia se portaron super cariñosos con nuestra Lexie. Gracias mil Olga.”

“Laura was a blessing to have watch my cat Lilly. She was referred to me by a friend, and I highly recommended her to anyone wanting peace of mind while away from their fur family. I will be using Laura again soon hopefully. Thanks Laura for taking the stress off knowing Lilly was well looked after by you!!”
About: Hi there! I’m 27 years old and have spent the last 12 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have two dogs of my own, so I fully understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with: Daily walks and exercise routines In‑home sitting and overnight stays Drop‑ins for feeding, playtime, and check‑ins Puppies, seniors, and pets with special instructions Administering basic medications and following detailed care plans Whether your pet needs a long walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just a quick check‑in, my goal is to give you total peace of mind and give your pet a safe, fun, and comfortable experience every time. I work full‑time, but I make plenty of room in my schedule for pet care. I’m available every morning before 8am, mid‑day during my lunch break, and in the evenings and nights. I’m also available 7 days a week, so whether you need early walks, drop‑ins, or evening/overnight care, I can reliably fit your pet into my routine. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all of their normal schedules, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime habits, so everything feels consistent for them. I treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, washing bowls, tidying up after pets, and following any house rules you set. I give each pet plenty of attention based on their personality—whether that means playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship—and I’m comfortable handling special instructions like medications, senior care, puppy routines, or specific behavioral needs. I also send regular updates, photos, and quick check‑ins so you always know how your pet is doing. For overnight stays, I maintain their nighttime routine and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for the entire time.
About: As a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide dependable care and give pets the attention they deserve. I’ve cared for dogs & cats for many years and am comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and following each pet’s routine. I enjoy getting to know every dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me a very flexible daytime schedule, allowing me to offer morning, midday, afternoon, and early evening visits. I’m often available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, drop-in visits, and recurring care. I can also accommodate many last-minute requests when my schedule allows. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home. I follow each pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, potty breaks, and playtime. My flexible schedule allows me to be reliable and consistent, and I always provide photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Kat was absolutely amazing with our 3 kitties! She sent lots of photos and provided extremely detailed notes at every visit. I felt so comfortable knowing Kat would be coming over twice a day to take care of them. She gave medicine to one of our cats as well. We can't wait to have her catsit again!”
About: I am so loving! I have dog sat for puppies before. I have potty trained two at a time. I have a cat and have sat for 2 cats in the past. I’ll take real good care of your animals! I treat them like they are my own ❤️ I am currently working full time at a job. The schedule varies from week to week. I usually work 12 hour days with breaks in between people I go to. I am a CNA. I let my dog play on our lanai and in the pool. I let my cat on out on the lanai on cooler days. I take very good care of my animals and the animals I sit for!
About: For six years, my life has been shaped by the energy, intelligence, and affection of my Bengal cat, a breed descended in part from the Asian leopard cat and known for its striking coat and active personality. Bengal cat What began as the simple responsibility of caring for a pet quickly became one of the most rewarding relationships I have ever experienced. When I first brought my Bengal home, I quickly learned that this was not an ordinary cat. Bengals are curious, athletic, and constantly looking for stimulation. From climbing furniture to investigating every corner of the house, my cat turned everyday life into an adventure. I realized early on that caring for a Bengal meant more than providing food and water—it meant creating an environment where intelligence and energy could thrive.
“Jennifer was amazing with my 15 1/2 year old cat that has GI lymphoma. I was super nervous to leave her for two weeks as she’s on many medications and supplements with chemotherapy. However, Jennifer was confident that she could give my Boo her medications and she did! She took great care of my high maintenance kitty and she alerted me as soon as she noticed some blood in my kitty’s vomit and took her to the emergency vet for me. Jennifer was very caring and patient with Boo and we will definitely be using her again!”
“Rebecca took good care of my 2 cats and even administered eye drops without any issues. I appreciate her attention up detail and genuine care for my cats. I would definitely trust Rebecca to cat sit again.”
“My cat is very shy and warmed up to Emma within the first day. I’ve hired her twice for Rover services and each time went perfectly without any problems. She gives updates every visit along with pictures. I definitely recommend her and would give 6 stars if possible!”
About: I have a hyper and amazing cat named Billie. I got her from the Naples humane society. I fell in love with her the moment I got her and gradually started falling in love with other animals as well :) I am working one part time job currently and would love another part-time in something I love. I am passionate about animals and providing them the best care. I adjust to their needs and ensure they are comfortable with me and new environment if needed. I would love to adapt to their schedule.
About: I have taken care of/walked dogs since I was 7. I’ve grown up with dogs and have never lived without one in my home. Many neighbors and friends trust me with their pets to either walk or care for them from either a day at a time or weeks. During the week I have sports and school but weekends are reserved to make sure the care of your pet(s) is received properly and carefully I am more than happy to play with any pet to ensure he/she is happy and healthy while I care for them. If you have special requests, I can make it a priority to fulfill them.

“Erika was the best! This was Coppers first doggy daycare and he loved it ! She paid attention to him, gave him walks, and he enjoyed playing with her dog as well.

About: I've been pet sitting for about 10 years, I have experience with large and small breeds, young and old. I just enjoy helping pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I work part time and have flexible hours in the afternoons and evenings. I am also very flexible with staying at client's homes for pet sitting especially on weekends because I don't work those days. Every pet has their specific routine and needs, I am very detail oriented and will make sure that their routine will carry on just like you would do for them.
About: I have over 40 years’ experience caring for pets. I've often watched friends and family dogs.

I really enjoy watching, walking and playing with pets. See you soon! I'm fully retired and spend most of my time at home. I have plenty of free time and I’ve always enjoyed getting out for a dog walk in the early morning and late afternoon. I'm committed to loving care and safety for my clients' pets. I always enjoy long walks with the energetic fast pace Rovers. I'm always cautious to have them on a proper leash and collar or harness during their walks. I take care not to walk dogs when it's too hot and always keep them off of hot sidewalks and pavement. I also allow plenty of couch and TV time for all dogs especially the less active senior dogs. Tell me your dog's needs and habits and I will do my very best to make them feel right at home.

“Gulcin was very accommodating as our request was last minute. Met here out front where Harley was able to greet her. She kept us updated with pics and messages on how he was doing and took him for a walk while with her. It was only for a few hours but could tell she has a love for dogs! If we need daycare again while here in Ft. Myers while on vacation will definitely use her again!”

“Elisa was absolutely wonderful with our puppy! From the moment we arrived, our pup ran straight into her home without hesitation or barking at all, which immediately showed us how comfortable and safe she felt there. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. Elisa was incredibly kind, accommodating, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which made us feel connected and reassured while we were away. It’s obvious our puppy had an amazing time and was well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with Elisa again. I highly recommend trusting your pup with her, you won’t regret it!”
“Nina provided such great care to our puppy. It was a last minute request and she's been so responsive and positive. We didn't plan to stay without our baby but due to regulations in our rv camping we had to find a place in emergency and Nina covered our baby with all love needed to go through this situation. Thank you again ?”
“WOW Our dog had the best day & so did we! Jennifer was wonderful and so were her 2 adorable dogs. Our dog had play mates and lots of attention, and we received pictures from Jennifer throughout his stay. I already have one longer stay booked & will be booking another day care day.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life and have been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors for 10–15 years to care for their pets in both short- and long-term situations. In my home, I maintain a structured, calm environment with consistent routines for feeding, exercise, and supervision. I currently have two well-trained, fully vaccinated dogs (a Goldendoodle and a Bernedoodle) who are very social and used to interacting with other dogs. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs, understanding behavior, and ensuring a safe, low-stress environment. As a military veteran, I approach pet care professionally—with clear expectations, strong communication, and a focus on safety for all animals in my home. I maintain a flexible schedule and am home frequently throughout the day, which allows for consistent supervision and care. I structure my day around the dogs in my home and can accommodate established feeding, walking, and rest routines as long as they are clearly outlined in advance. My goal is to keep your dog on a schedule they are already comfortable with, while maintaining a calm, structured environment. I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to ensure each dog receives proper attention and consistency. My home is a safe, structured environment with two well-trained, fully vaccinated dogs (a Goldendoodle and a Bernedoodle) who are very social and accustomed to interacting with other dogs. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and will make every effort to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. For safety, I only accept dogs that are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs. Dogs are supervised, and crating can be accommodated if your dog is crate-trained. I prioritize clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing.

“Lori was awesome. She took great care of our 11 year old Shitzu. She gets very sad when we leave so it was great to know someone that was going to spend some time with her to make sure she ate and felt save. Will use her anytime we leave town moving forward!”

“Charlie had a great time walking with Jen! I couldn't take him on the usual walk today, and she was available within a half hour. She must be a power walker because Charlie was tuckered out by the time he got back, just what we both needed!”
“Sorry for the long delay, but back in January Taylor was great with walking our two dogs. She was attentive, gave them lots of love, and kept us updated and anything going on with them. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, not just pets, but family. I grew up around dogs, volunteered with the Humane Society throughout college, and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs needing extra medical care. One of my huskies developed diabetes and eventually went blind, so I became very comfortable administering medications and injections, following strict routines, and giving patient, loving care. I lost my sweet Shih Tzu after 17 amazing years together, and now I have two spoiled pups of my own, Gracie and Lily. I truly understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I treat every animal like they are my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekends, with weekday availability on many days as well. I’m happy to work with pet parents whenever possible and always do my best to accommodate schedules, routines, and special care needs. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, energy levels, and personalities so each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I live in a very dog-friendly area in Fort Myers with plenty of space for walks, playtime, and exercise. I always prioritize safety, supervision, communication, and making sure your pet feels at home.

I maintain a flexible schedule and am home frequently throughout the day, which allows for consistent supervision and care. I structure my day around the dogs in my home and can accommodate established feeding, walking, and rest routines as long as they are clearly outlined in advance. My goal is to keep your dog on a schedule they are already comfortable with, while maintaining a calm, structured environment. I limit the number of dogs I take at one time to ensure each dog receives proper attention and consistency. My home is a safe, structured environment with two well-trained, fully vaccinated dogs (a Goldendoodle and a Bernedoodle) who are very social and accustomed to interacting with other dogs. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and will make every effort to maintain your dog’s normal feeding, walking, and daily routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. For safety, I only accept dogs that are friendly, non-aggressive, and comfortable around other dogs. Dogs are supervised, and crating can be accommodated if your dog is crate-trained. I prioritize clear communication so you always know how your dog is doing.

About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. I currently have one dog and two cats that I absolutely adore, and I truly love spending time with animals of all kinds. Friends, family, and clients often tell me their pets seem to gravitate toward me and quickly become comfortable in my care. Building trust with animals comes naturally to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, or just some extra love and attention while you’re away, you can count on them being cared for with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. I am currently working at a salon studio, as an Esthetician. I would love to do this on the days I’m not working. Even before or after the time I’m going in or getting off. I have a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out, and I love spending time outdoors. I regularly take my own dog on long walks and enjoy visiting pet-friendly parks, trails, and outdoor spots whenever possible. Living near the beach means I spend a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful weather, and I love giving dogs plenty of exercise, enrichment, and attention. Whether your pup prefers a leisurely stroll, an active walk, or simply lots of playtime and affection, I’ll make sure they’re cared for as if they were my own.
About: I've been pet sitting for about 10 years, I have experience with large and small breeds, young and old. I just enjoy helping pets feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I work part time and have flexible hours in the afternoons and evenings. I am also very flexible with staying at client's homes for pet sitting especially on weekends because I don't work those days. Every pet has their specific routine and needs, I am very detail oriented and will make sure that their routine will carry on just like you would do for them.
“Heather is so helpful. As someone with anxiety about leaving my dog with someone she was so comforting and supportive! Bethel loves her ! Would book again if I lived in the area!”
“I cannot recommend Laci enough! She took care of my dog for 11 1/2 days while I was out of state, walking her every morning and afternoon. She went above and beyond, even bringing my dog new toys and sharing daily updates and pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. Communication was seamless and so easy, whether over the phone or through messages. I hope to use her again! Thanks Laci!”

“Carla did an amazing job with our dog Crockett! She provided a daily update with photos which was very much appreciated! They made him part of their family which we loved!”
“Sandra was great. Very easy to arrange everything from pickup to drop off. On the pictures it looks like for the first time our dogs enjoyed their vacation too. Maybe because they had access to the pool or just because they also felt very welcome by Sandra.”
“Harley loved her stay. Lorie was great with everything. Communication was excellent. She sent a pictures and I'm very thankful that she was able to take me at the last minute. I will definitely book with Lorie again and would recommend her.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Erika! She looked after our puppy for five days, showering her with love, keeping her schedule and constantly playing and entertaining her. She created the perfect home environment for her to feel comfortable. Erika kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our puppy. We’re definitely going to use her services again! We encourage everyone to hire her as a pet sitter, she is wonderful.”
“Honestly this was the best experience we have ever had with a rover sitter. Alain and his wife are so kind, they live in a beautiful and very clean house with a nice fenced in yard. They sent multiple videos daily showing Tater Tot being loved on. I think Alain played more ball with Tater daily than Tater is used to. Would 100% use them again in a heart beat.”
“This was my first time having Thomas and Lyndsay watch my baby Dunkin and had a great experience. I travel for work so finding/having a consistent dog walking/boarding person is incredibly difficult sometimes, but Thomas and Lyndsay were so nice and they even allowed my dog on the couch and bed since he is already allowed on furniture in my home. 🥰 I would 100% reach out to Thomas and Lyndsay again. Thank you so much! ☺️”
“What can I say they were AWESOME! I had a situation where another sitter canceled on us at the last minute and we had a flight in the morning reached out to them and with no hesitation and against their protocol to meet and greet with no hesitation accepted it and believed in us about our beloved pet behavior and ways and accepted to watch her I couldn’t thank him enough as he made our vacation plans great he is definitely our sitter for our pet and we will only use him and his services communication is flawless and our pet had a great time in their care. Thank you.🙏🏼”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with this sitter. We had to make last-minute arrangements for our senior dog, Lola, while we were vacationing in Sanibel after discovering that our condo no longer allowed pets. Lola is highly anxious, and leaving her is always stressful for us, so finding someone we could trust was incredibly important. From the very beginning, communication was exceptional. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our vacation knowing Lola was in great hands. Not only did she take excellent care of Lola, but she also graciously allowed us to visit and take Lola for walks during the week. She made sure Lola got plenty of exercise, socialization with other dogs, and lots of love and attention. It was clear that she genuinely cared for her. The biggest testament to the care she provided came on the last day. As we drove away, Lola actually watched her new friend leave and whined for her—a reaction we've never seen before. That told us everything we needed to know about the bond they had formed. If we ever return to Sanibel, she will be our first call. Every Rover sitter should strive to provide this level of care, communication, and compassion. We are beyond grateful for how wonderfully she treated our Lola. Thank you!!!”
“Natasha was amazing! She gave us updates everyday and sent pictures as well. Lulu was so happy in all the pictures. When we picked Lulu up she was trying to take Natasha home with us; making sure she was following us to the car. I will definitely be rebooking with her and everyone should leave their fur babies with her. She is so loving and caring.”
“I'm so glad we found Krista to care for our dog while we were out of town, she took great care of him! My dog usually takes some time to trust people but he warmed up to Krista right away, it was obvious to me too how much she loves and knows about dogs. Her communication was wonderful and she provided me with an update and photos each day, which I really appreciated. She has a very lovely and clean home with a nice fenced yard. I highly recommend Krista to take care of your”
“If you want your furry babies to be loved when you "have to" go on vacation... this is who you need to contact. Absolutely, the best. We had a quick meet and greet before our scheduled date and they were so accommodating. Both Callie and Maverick were so happy to be in their company. Already planning another vacation so our doggies can go to Laura and Evan's house.”
“If you’re looking for the best place to leave your pup, look no further, Diana is the one! I had to go on a last-minute trip, and not only did she come to the rescue, but she also took care of Rocky with so much love and dedication that I felt completely at ease. She kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time, and it was clear that Rocky was happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s rare to find someone so caring and committed to animals. I’ll definitely leave him with her again. Thank you for everything, Diana!”
“Claudia was great!! She sent lots of pics and made Roscoe so comfortable! I tried to board him before I found her and he was too nervous ? I will definitely be using her again and recommending her to anyone who needs a dig sitter ?”
“Destini is everything we could wish for in a sitter for our Olive girl, and we have already booked with her for a trip away next month. Olive just spent an entire week with Destini, and we received many updates each day. We had absolute peace of mind that our pup was in the best hands and truly in a home away from home with lots of love and affection. Destini's house is immaculate with a secure backyard, and her small pup is super friendly. I highly recommend scheduling your pet's stay with Destini!”

“Tia was great with both of my dogs. She sent many pictures and made me feel more at ease while I was out of town. I will definitely feel comfortable leaving my dogs with her again!”
About: All I've ever known since childhood was dogs, they've been a constant part of my time here on earth and helped to foster my love for all animals. Throughout my life I've always helped take care of family members pets as well as my friend's pets and it has always been a source of joy. Over the years I've cared for a variety of animals spanning different amounts of time. Be it my Uncle's dog for a weekend or a family friend's house, dog, cat, 6 chickens, and 4 ducks for a couple months I can help accommodate any need you may have and I can't wait to meet your fur baby! I'm currently back from college and am working part time. I'll have more than enough free time to accommodate your busy schedule and meet whatever needs you and your pets may have! I have a fenced yard, a pool, and a very sweet little dog who loves company. With a very spacious car and a personal fondness for hiking I can take your pet on nature excursions or to vet appointments. If needed, I can easily separate pets for feeding or quiet time to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable in their own space.
