“The sweetest people ever! We will call Tannia anytime we need a sitter. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day! She even gave me dog mom advice on little dogs teeth! I cannot recommend Tannia and Chris more! ☀️❤️”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew were wonderful. They sent us pics of Abby every day while we were on vacation. We could tell Abby was loved and enjoyed her time with them. She also got to make friends with their dog Pancake who kept Abby company while we were away. Recommend 100%”

“Fantastic couple! Made our trip so much more relaxing knowing Cherry was in great hands! They sent so many awesome pics and messages throughout her stay that let me know we’d made the best choice. We will definitely rebook with them!”
“My pup, Goose, is a rescue that I got from a hoarding situation back in November 2021. I think in the time I've had him, I've left him twice with people who I trusted but didn't live in the home. This is the first time I've ever had to leave him with someone he's never met so I was super nervous. Patti did not disappoint at all! She sent me frequent updates on how Goose was adjusting and continued to send pictures all weekend. We definitely will be using Patti again!”

“Wendy is an exceptional sitter!! She took suvh great care of my baby. She sent pics daily and kept me updated and my baby busy. Will definitely use her again. Thank you Wendy!”
“Carolyn was a great help to us when we visited Jacksonville. We desperately needed a sitter for our poodle Sophie on short notice. Carolyn responded and turned out to be a wonderful caregiver to our timid pup. Carolyn gave Sophie personal attention, lots of walking time, and coaxed her to interact with other dogs. She kept us informed with multiple updates and photos. We recommend Carolyn unequivocally.”
“Anna and Nick were WONDERFUL! We felt so at ease our entire trip and I never once had to ask for updates because Anna was on it - she sent me photos and videos everyday. Our dog had such a great time and loved playing with her new best friends Chewey and Libby. Will absolutely rebook in the future.”
“Absolutely love Kristin! She welcomed our dog into her home as her own! Kept us completely updated & even sent lots of pics!! Made us feel so comfortable that Scout was in her care while we were out of town.”
“Ruger had a great time with Briana. He was very well cared for and it was obvious that she treated him like he was family. We received daily updates and pictures. We highly recommend Briana.”

About: Cats have my whole heart. 🐈⬛ I understand that cats can be independent, sensitive, routine-oriented, and sometimes a little suspicious of new people, so I always let them set the pace. Whether your cat wants constant attention, a quiet companion, or prefers to observe me from across the room like I’m an intruder in their kingdom, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I also have personal experience caring for a senior cat with diabetes, which has taught me how important consistency, patience, observation, and attention to detail are when caring for cats with medical or age-related needs. I’m comfortable following specific feeding routines, medication instructions, and other individualized care instructions. I pay close attention to the little things, including eating and drinking habits, litter box changes, energy levels, grooming, and behavior. Most importantly, I want your cat to feel safe and comfortable in their own home while you’re away. I’ll keep their routine as normal as possible, give them affection and enrichment on their terms, and send you regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your baby is being loved and looked after. ⭐️🐾
“Sara did an amazing job watching my 3 cats. There are a lot of specific instructions she had to follow and temperaments she had to cater to. I would absolutely recommend her to watch anyone’s fur babies. She went above and beyond cleaning up after accidents and sending updates every visit. Will definitely reach out again if I leave town and need a sitter!”
“Amber did a great job taking care of my fur babies while I was gone. Food, water, and litter were changed with photos taken for clarity. She was also very responsive to requests. I will definitely use her services the next time I need a cat sitter. Thanks again!”
“Catherine was the best sitter I have ever used! I have never felt comfortable leaving Michu with anyone including family but this time I had no worries at all. I will definitely rebook next time we travel.”
“Aimee took care of our 2 kittens wonderfully and was very responsive with daily updates and photos! Would definitely recommend and book with her again!”
“Lorraine was wonderful with our cat Monica! She was flexible on the drop off time since we were moving from another state the same day that we were dropping our cat off for care. She kept us updated with pictures and information about how Monica was acclimating to her new environment. We would absolutely recommend her and hope to use her again!”
“Christa is amazing with my cats! She takes such great care of them, and they love her! Her communication is awesome, she sends photos every day, and we never have to worry when we’re away.”
“Dawn was great with our two cats! She kept us updated each day and sent photos as well. We really appreciate that she was available especially on short notice. We will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Thank you so much for caring for my little turtle Charles and little old lady cat, Parmesan! Everyone was well fed and happy when I got home! I appreciate your TLC! The pic of you booping Parmi's nose was just precious!”
“Gabbi is the best! She stayed at my place with my dog-like cat for a little over a week. She sent me daily updates and pictures which warmed my heart. It’s hard leaving our fur babies but with Gabbi know they are in great hands.”
“Sharon was so great at communicating and keeping my pup safe and happy while I was away! She provided pictures and videos of him as happy as can be!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’m truly comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—whether that’s a high-energy pup, a shy rescue, or even more exotic companions. I’m not afraid of any animals and approach each one with patience, confidence, and genuine care. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and routine are my top priorities, and I’m always willing to go the extra mile—whether that means extra playtime, longer walks, medication administration, or plenty of cuddles. I treat every animal as if they were my own and strive to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 I am open right now, currently a mother to twins so just wanting to get out of the house, and love up on your sweet babies! I am open to early hours and late evenings into the night to take care of your pets. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space for free roaming and a safe neighborhood to walk around at. I love to go for nature walks around Washington and know the best spots!
“I can't say enough about this dynamic duo! From the very first "meet and greet" with myself and my senior 17 year old pitbull, it was clear to me that my pup would be in GREAT hands. I went out of town and I never felt as at ease knowing that BellaMarie was going to be well looked after, as I had knowing that she was being loved and cared for in the manner I would have. I received videos of her enjoying yard time and play time along with photos. I hands down will be rebooking with Kimberly and Jarred. I would recommend them to anyone who needs care for their animal(s).”

“Tannia and Chris went above and beyond my expectations when caring for my senior girl. They are very accommodating and their knowledge of animals is impressive. They took alot of time listening to my concerns/instructions and followed them carefully. Thank you guys for loving on and caring for my baby.”
About: Hi, we’re Anna and Nick, your neighbors and fellow dog lovers. We have a goldendoodle and three dachshund who love having friends over. They’re all very social and sweet with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Please check out their pet profiles for more info. We offer daycare and overnight stays at our house. Nick and I both work from home and have a flex scheduled. We have plenty of time to give the pups lots of love and attention throughout the day. No kids. We give lots of attention and outside time. Our home is a calm, dog-focused environment. We have a large fenced yard and are outside a lot. We have a pool. While our dogs don’t swim, many of our friends’ dogs love a dip. We don’t mind! We love it. And we won’t leave them unattended.
“Lana was responsive and warm from the start, took care of my baby at the last minute for us and it went great. First time using a dog sitter but we will be repeat customers.”
“Our John absolutely loves Maria, and your pup would be lucky to have her as a sitter! Whether it’s for a quick date night or a long weekend away, Maria is always there with great communication, reliability, and so much love for our guy. We always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands.”
“Yekaterina and her family are amazing! They watched my 8 week old puppy whitney for several days and treated her like family. She sent videos and cute pictures throughout the day and the kids played with my pup and were so good to her. My puppy loved it at their house! 🩷💕”
“As a first-time dog owner, I wasn't sure what to expect from a dog sitter. The moment we walked into Maria's home our dog (who barks at EVERYONE) didn't make a sound, I knew we were in good hands. That alone gave us so much reassurance that he was with the right person. Maria was professional, caring, and clearly has a natural way with dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her, and we'll definitely be using her services again!”

Here are just a sample: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Jennifer was a wonderful caretaker for our dog Kiki. This was the first time we used them and we couldn’t be happier. From the time we first met them and throughout the time Kiki was with them, the communication and care was top notch. We look forward to using them again!" - Stephanie L. (9/18/24) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Jennifer thank you so much for always taking care of my boy, Luke. Thank you, thank you! I am so happy I found you and always recommend you." - Dawn F (9/9/24) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Jennifer was great with our pets, Manning (dog) and Poe (cat). They were so responsive. They sent us pictures the entire time and cute little notes. I felt confident that they were being well cared for. Thank you so much." - Vicki H. (8/29/24) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Jennifer was fantastic. They took such loving care of our sweet girl (Penny) and we so appreciated the frequent photo check-ins. Thank you so much again for giving us such peace of mind while we were out of town!" - Caitlin C. (8/28/24) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Teddy had his first daycare experience and was there all day. He had a blast! Getting pictures and information about his day was comforting too. He’s a puppy and we had never left him with anyone. Your home felt like family. Thank you!" Roberta L.

(12/18/23) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I felt really good about leaving my 11-year-old Benny boy with Jennifer after spending an hour visit with them prior to dropping him off. They are clearly dog (animal) people…… and took him into their home as one of theirs. What more could I ask for?" - Nancy B. (12/11/23) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Superb experience. I trust only a handful of people on Earth with my pets — I now fully trust Jennifer. They took care of my beloved, very elderly cats (Sushi & Libby) as if they were their own, allowing me to take one of my first real vacations in years. ❤️" - Barbara C. (10/24/23) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This was my first time leaving Winifred with someone other than family, so I was a bit nervous. But Jennifer was great. They sent me updates and pictures everyday so that really comforted me. Winnie had a wonderful time; she loved playing with the other dogs and felt like she was at home. Would definitely recommend. They will take great care of your fur baby." - Cristina P. (10/12/23) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Best Rover home we've experienced so far, and we've had a lot of good Rover experiences." - Natalie K. (8/21/23) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Excellent pet sitter. First time boarding a cat in my life and I am so thankful for Jennifer. I have a cat (Livie) who needed meds in her ears twice daily and oral meds daily mixed in food. She is a very skittish cat but they had no trouble in keeping her happy and calm. Will utilize them in again in the future!! Thank you so much your caring, kindness and compassion!!" - Allison W. (8/7/23) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Jennifer is an awesome care taker. I left my Yorkie, Luke, with them for over two weeks, which was the first time in a year he was away from my family. He was so well cared for and loved. He learned so much when staying with them and their crew. It was his first learning experience being with other dogs, becoming part of the pack. They continuously kept me up to date with pictures and videos. I feel so grateful to have found them and I know Luke does too. We will continue to use their services in the future. Thank you both for your kindness! I feel incredibly lucky to have found you!" - Dawn F. (7/20/23) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "On first meeting Jennifer we knew she would look after our boy Lupin extremely well. She’s a very caring person who absolutely loves animals and Lupin took to her straight away which made us feel very confident that he would be happy in her care. Jennifer kept up his grooming routine (being a bearded collie he needs regular grooming) and while we were away she sent us regular updates including pictures which we very much appreciated and found very reassuring. Communication was very good before-hand and during our sit. On our return the house was spotless and Lupin was very happy. It was also lovely to meet Mandy, Jennifer’s sweet little companion. She is the most adorable little dog who is as good as gold and was great company for Lupin. I would not hesitate to recommend Jennifer and Mandy. Thank you Jennifer - you're a 5* house sitter!" - Jeanette S. of Villefagnan, France (10/3/2022, via Trusted Housesitters) NOTE: Please refer to my previous "Hidden Gem Pet Care" Rover profile to read thru all of the 5-star reviews from our very happy 2022-2025 clients: https://www.rover.com/members/jason-s-hidden-gem-pet-care/ Pet care isn't squeezed into my day — it is my day. As a Luxury Travel Advisor, I work 100% remotely from home, which means I'm here with your furbaby around the clock. My own senior pup, Mandy 🐶 absolutely lights up when a new friend arrives — she loves, loves, loves other dogs and helps new guests settle in fast. Between my remote schedule and Mandy's welcoming personality, your pet gets consistent attention, companionship and routine from morning to night. Home is a gated condo community with beautifully landscaped grounds and plenty of green lawn space — a safe, secure setting for walks and sniff-and-explore time. Mandy 🐶 and I love taking our guests out to enjoy the grounds together — always on a secure harness for safety. Indoors, your furbaby becomes part of our everyday routine rather than being left to their own devices. Your pup is welcome on the couch, my queen bed, the numerous dog beds scattered around the house or wherever they're most comfortable. Feedings, medications, and playtime all happen on your pup's usual schedule.
“AMAZING SERVICE! Randy and Mimi took care of our dog like he was their own. He had such a good time and was able to socialize and meet new dogs. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing doggy day care/boarding for their dog!”
“Carolyn took great care of my Dustin boy!! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day! Will definitely be using her again to watch my sweet boy. Thank you!”
“Katya was great! She stayed in contact and progress updates on how Smokey was doing! Smokey came home exhausted from all the fun and in great shape. Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Kaitlyn and Andrew were great with my Dustin boy! They kept me informed all day of his activities and how he was coming along! Highly recommend and I’ll definitely use them again! Thanks for caring for my Dustin!!”
“Wendy was so great with Dustin! She kept me updated with pictures all day. Great communication and highly recommend! I will definitely be using her for my coming up trip! Thanks for taking good care of my Dusty!”
About: I have always grown up and been around dogs and cats. I grew up with big dog breeds and they will always hold my heart, but I currently have a small dog who I love like a human child haha. I’ve been around and helped train puppies and also have experience with older doggies. I accept and love all shapes, sizes, ages, and breeds. I have a full time remote job , so I am always home! I may go to the gym for an hour but I am never more than 20 minutes away from my house. I have time during my day for long walks and even longer cuddle sessions. I have a larger apartment so accommodate any size doggo and my own small pup to offer some company to yours! I also love to be outside and go on walks so there is no shortage of outside time.
“Suilen continues to be so amazing with my Dustin!!! I feel so comfortable knowing he is with her. He loves her home and all the love she gives him! I highly recommend Suilen!! She is super sweet! Thank You for caring for Dustin the way you do!!!”
“Patty was fantastic in caring for my miniature daschund Richard. Patty knows the breed well and was very quick in understanding Richards quirks. She was patient and kind with him and I could see that he loved spending time with her because he would run to her door in the morning to see her. I could not have been happier with Patty, she is amazing. Thank you Patty.”
“Marisa and her family are the best! We felt totally comfortable leaving Zoey in their care. Our anxious dog had a great day. We.look forward to more visits! Thanks, Marisa, for the pictures and videos throughout the day. We appreciate you!”

About: I’ve taken care of my family dog since I was 15! I fully house trained her since she was a puppy and taught her all her tricks (the classic like sit, stay/come, speak, rollover). I have over 10 years experience with small dogs, and a few years of combined experience with larger dogs such as labs, pit-mixes, boxers, and even one giant Akita! I adopted a cat that I had the pleasure of caring for a few years- love snuggles or leaving her be when needed. I am a business owner and create my own schedule. I can make myself available early morning, late night, or any time in between with just a short bit of notice. I have experience and am capable in keeping large dogs apart when needed if you prefer your pup not interact with others while out and about. When working with ACPS, dogs are kept 10ft away from all other animals when outside the shelter. When working with reactive dogs, I do my best to take walking during less busy times around the neighborhood. My precious cat did not enjoy dogs as much as I do, so I know how to keep a calm house when everyone may not be so friendly!
About: Hi everyone! My name is Alyssa. 🤗 What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every pet like family. I’m patient, attentive, adaptable, and especially comfortable with senior pets, anxious animals, and pets who need extra patience or specialized care. I have personal experience caring for a senior cat with diabetes, which has taught me how important consistency, observation, and attention to detail are when caring for an aging pet or one with additional needs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding routines, medication instructions, and individualized care plans. I’m also very calm and capable in a crisis. If something unexpected happens, I don’t panic. I assess the situation, follow the appropriate steps, communicate with the owner, and make sure the pet’s safety comes first. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to stay level-headed when you’re not there. Above all, I pay attention to the little things: changes in appetite, bathroom habits, energy, behavior, and overall mood. I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their person is away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never feel out of the loop. 🐾💛⭐️🤗✨ As an actress and social media content creator, my schedule is very flexible and currently quite open, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m able to work my days around their routines, whether that means walks, feedings, playtime, medication, or simply keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and having a flexible schedule means I’m not constantly rushing off to another commitment. Your pet can get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. Basically, I’m happy to let your pet be my boss. 😂🐾 Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I give pets time to become familiar with the surroundings and neighborhood rather than overwhelming them. I pay close attention to their stress levels, body language, appetite, energy, and behavior so I can adjust their care to what they’re communicating. When house sitting, I treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. Along with caring for your pets, I’m happy to handle everyday things like tending to gardens, taking out the trash, doing dishes, bringing in mail, and keeping the home tidy. I want you to come home to happy pets and a home that feels just as you left it. 🐾
“Elaine is amazing with our Coco! We are so thrilled to have found her. She goes above and beyond on rainy days with our girl making sure her paws are clean when she comes inside. And that she has her rain coat on.”
“Dawn always answers so quickly and is very informative and helpful after every visit, even giving love to my kitties on a dog visit & filling up the water bowl after a walk :) much appreciated”
“Catherine was great! Responsive, attentive and so kind to our pup! She was punctual and very easy to work with, would definitely recommend and use again for future bookings. Billie was a happy and tired girl, she enjoyed the walks and playtime together.”
About: I grew up surrounded by animals on my Granny’s farm, so caring for pets has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In my own home, we had three dogs and four cats, and animals were never just pets, they were family. My mom was a veterinary technician for 15 years, and she regularly brought home injured or recovering animals that needed rehabilitation. Through that experience, I learned how to safely handle pets in all kinds of situations and environments. She passed down extensive hands-on knowledge to me, including how to recognize warning signs, respond calmly in emergencies, and administer medications. I’ve even assisted with IV fluids for a dog when needed. Because of this background, I’m comfortable caring for pets who may need extra patience, medical attention, or routine based care. I bring more experience than the average sitter and take your pet’s safety, comfort, and while still giving them plenty of love, attention, and reassurance I have an open and flexible schedule, so I’m able to give pets plenty of time, attention, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for early mornings, mid-day visits, evenings, and weekends. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can stay in the environment where they feel safest and most comfortable. I follow your pet’s established routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care instructions. I’m attentive to behavior changes, health needs, and comfort levels, especially for pets who may be anxious, senior, or require medical care. I keep the home clean and secure, ensure doors and gates are properly locked, and respect household rules at all times. I prioritize communication and send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is well cared for while you’re away
“Sharon was great! This was our first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but she was so communicative and took good care of our pup while we traveled. We’ll definitely use Rover and request her again.”
About: We are a family of 3 people who really want to add a dog as a family member but unable to take on the financial responsibility at this time so this might be the next best thing, just genuine love for your pets, no special skills at this time. Currently work from home and have the ability to be very present with your dog. My 2 children have been reminding me that I promised them a dog by the time my son turns 10 and my daughter is 8. I'm just not ready to find my forever dog yet- My son is now 11 and daughter is ready to turn 9 right after Christmas and we have loved having your dogs as a part of our family while you're away! In my home, treating them like our own part of the family. We are a playful family and we like getting out of the house on walks and do things like Riverside Arts Market and the beach. In your home, will follow your guidelines and be just as loving and attentive
About: Hi, I'm Lydia, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your pet! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or just need an extra helping hand, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I've cared for and fostered dogs and cats of all ages—from playful puppies and kittens to sweet senior pets. Through that experience, I've become comfortable administering medications, caring for anxious or reactive pets, and adapting to each pet's unique personality, routine, and energy level. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, chasing toys, snuggling on the couch, or simply having a calm companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm also a registered nurse, so providing attentive care, following detailed instructions, and staying calm in unexpected situations are second nature to me. I work three 12-hour shifts each week, which gives me several full days to dedicate to pet care, including walks, runs, drop-in visits, daycare, and overnight stays. My goal is simple: to care for your pet as if they were my own while giving you complete peace of mind. During every visit, I'll send detailed updates along with plenty of photos, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. I pride myself on being punctual, communicative, and reliable, and I would be honored to earn your trust. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule that will allow me to take some last minute requests! I work 3-12 hour shifts a week which provides me with a lot of free days! Need something outside my listed availability? Reach out! While I keep my calendar as accurate as possible, I may be able to accommodate special requests. I will care for your pet like they were my own! I promise to be professional and courteous while entering your space to care for your pet if I'm dropping in. If they are staying with me-I also have a beautiful back yard overlooking a pond for some good supervised sun bathing, fetch, or good sniffs.
“Jen was great to have just down the road. She responded quickly and even popped over for an introduction visit which was very professional. I know my dog was in good hands with Jen. I plan to continue to work with her in the future”
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with family in the countryside in my homecountry, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. I’ve always had dogs, been around them, and I currently have a dog of my own. Because of that, I’m comfortable caring for pets of different personalities and understand how important it is to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet like family and follow your care instructions carefully. I’m a college student who also works part-time, so my availability may vary depending on the day. I’m generally more available on weekdays and would love the opportunity to care for your pet. I’ll do my best to work with your schedule and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have experience pet-sitting for coworkers, often for weekends or even during their full week-long vacations. I do not own a pet at this time in my life because I have a small apartment and an inconsistent schedule, which is why I like to interact with others' dogs in my spare time, and help other dog-owners in this way. I have consistently had dogs in my family since I was about 8 or 9 years old so I am very familiar with the patience,love, and energy needed to take care of a dog in an apropriate manner.

“Carolyn was a great help to us when we visited Jacksonville. We desperately needed a sitter for our poodle Sophie on short notice. Carolyn responded and turned out to be a wonderful caregiver to our timid pup. Carolyn gave Sophie personal attention, lots of walking time, and coaxed her to interact with other dogs. She kept us informed with multiple updates and photos. We recommend Carolyn unequivocally.”
“Anna and Nick were WONDERFUL! We felt so at ease our entire trip and I never once had to ask for updates because Anna was on it - she sent me photos and videos everyday.

About: I've taken care of dogs for over 30 years. I love all breeds, temperaments and ages from puppies to seniors. I have a very large house and big, fenced back yard that is ready for games of catch, relaxing, running and canine fun. I love to go on dog walks and play with my doggie guests. I have an extremely friendly Catahoula that loves company. Dog sitting allows her companionship and me the joy of other dogs without having to adopt another. My dog Paisley is my baby and I treat all other dogs guests as such, sending pictures and updates daily. I work from home so your baby is never left alone and I am animal CPR certified in case there were to ever be an emergency. I work from home and am self employed. Your dog will never be left unsupervised. I take my dog Paisley on morning and evening walks and we welcome the company. I have a large fenced dog friendly yard. It is safe and secure. My neighborhood is quiet and I have a large house with just my Catahoula Paisley and I. We welcome the company to make our days more fun. I offer doggy day care, overnight boarding, dog walking and am happy to check in on your baby at your home.
“Viji was incredibly communicative and provided frequent updates with pictures, which I really appreciated. When we picked up our dog, he seemed a bit sad, which tells me he truly enjoyed his stay and the companionship of the sitter's little kid. It’s comforting to know he had such a good time! Highly recommend Viji!”
“Lorraine was wonderful with our cat Monica! She was flexible on the drop off time since we were moving from another state the same day that we were dropping our cat off for care. She kept us updated with pictures and information about how Monica was acclimating to her new environment. We would absolutely recommend her and hope to use her again!”

“Highly recommend JoAnn! She watched my dog for 7 days while my family stayed a few blocks away. I wanted to bring my dog to the beach so she was close by and not 700 miles away. JoAnn was very accommodating when we wanted to pick her up to play at the beach, sent daily pictures, and had other playful dogs to keep mine company. I’ll definitely use her again!”
