“Kendra was amazing and I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was in wonderful hands.

“Quick to respond to booking requests. Very friendly and caring sitter. I will recommend her service! She cared for my golden doodle and my dog came home happy and tired.”
“I can’t say enough about this amazing person & sitter. My dog simply loves being at her home with her dog Summer. I trust her with my baby. She spoils him and treats him as if he was hers. She keeps me updated which keeps you feeling confident your baby is being taken care of. Kodac can only stay with her, it’s his second home..”

“Our first time using Rover. We moved our son to Jacksonville and then took a cruise for a week. Joe and his wife came up as a possible fit for our small dog. They were very accommodating for several reasons. During the trip they sent pictures and updates. Good connection.”
“Kristall is the absolute best!!!! I've never left any of my pets with a sitter and I was very nervous. Kristall answered all of my questions at our first meeting. I did a day care day to test things out before my trip. Otis had a great time and I no longer had any concerns with leaving him with Kristall. I was able to enjoy my vacation and received frequent updates and pictures. When I went to pick Otis up I don't think he wanted to leave. Thank you so much Kristall for spoiling my little dude!”
“Kenneth was awesome. He provided updates at least twice a day and always sent pictures. He always responded within a few minutes and took great care of Scooby. She loved staying with him!”
About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊
“Amber is great! She took care of my girl for 4 months while I was deployed. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her! Thank you again!”
“My dogs loved her. They came back relaxed and calm. One of my pups gets anxiety and it’s hard to find someone who makes her feel relaxed and at home. We found that with Christian. She sent daily pictures and spoiled them the week they spent with her. I would highly recommend her.”
“I was very grateful that she accepted my last-minute request. My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked him up. She responded quickly to messages, provided updates when I asked, and was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Brenda was wonderful with my senior dog who needs a bit of extra care. My little one was comfortable and safe with her - and seemed very happy as well. My dog stayed at Brenda’s home. Brenda sent photos and text updates throughout the week. I highly recommend Brenda as a dog sitter!”
“Creasida provided excellent care for Cody and went beyond and above the standard care for my pet. This was exemplified by giving him a choice of several filtered waters and giving him breaks every hour.. along with good supervision care. She also sent multiple pictures Throughout the day,to us that showed Cody was active, playful and was joining in socializing with her two dogs that she had, she also has dog TV, which has a theme of pleasant music that helps dogs sleep, I’m thinking about getting that myself, she said it was relatively inexpensive. We are so happy that we found a great sitter for Cody I give her five stars and a big thanks for having Cody enjoyed his stay and will using her again, most likely multiple times. Her two dogs interacted with Cody, very well and we joked that he has two new girlfriends now, lol Thanks again Creasida for being a wonderful pet sitter…”
“Therisa was amazing, even though it was my first time using the app she made sure I felt comfortable and at peace by sending lots of pictures and updates about my dogs everyday.”

“Mia was wonderful! She was able to accommodate me at the last minute and took such great care of my cat, Mia, over the weekend. She kept me updated and even sent me pictures, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“Cecelia was an absolute fantastic, she took very good care of my fur baby, she kept me updated with pictures and when my dog sitter canceled she responded last minute. She’s a complete lifesaver!!”
“There is no one we trust MORE with our pets than Katie. This is the 3rd time we have booked and now our cat excitedly greets her and they have bonded. It's so wonderful to know our cats are in gentle and caring hands while we are away. We always look forward to the daily photos and description of the visit while we are away.”
“Amber was so great. She came by for a meet and greet which really helped us feel good about having her check in on our kitties. When she checked in on them she provided so many pictures of them and their food and litter boxes. Great attention to detail and you can tell she cares. Over all just a great experience. Thank you!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“Liz was great with my two babies! She gave my updates every day and made sure they were being loved and cared for. She followed every specific diet instruction for the cats and communicated with me the whole time. Liz is awesome!!!”
“This turned out to be the best service ever. Erika was amazing and I hope she'll become a regular for Scout. I unintentionally became the sole responsible human to a neighbors cat. I believe she's now needing a permanent home. I hadn't planned for this as we are retired and plan to travel. Finally true empty nesters. We kept Scout inside for our first trip with no clue how she'd do, but daily visits were perfect. We have decided to keep Scout. ☺️”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and I felt so safe and comfortable with her watching my kitties. My apartment unfortunately had a leak while I was away, and she went above and beyond to make sure that it was taken care of. She provided photos every day of my boys and spent time getting to know them and building trust by giving them treats and hanging out with them. 10/10! Thank you, Amanda!”
“Pam C. did an AMAZING job! We live on a boat and she came to the marina each day and took excellent care of our sweet kitty! She sent great daily updates with pictures and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Pam is super nice as well and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter! Thank you, Pam!”
“Kristie is awesome! She followed all the instructions I left, took great care of my shy little cat, and even kept me updated with friendly messages. I felt super confident leaving Mia in her care and would absolutely trust her again!”
“Meredith was wonderful! We needed someone to watch our cat Ollie last minute and she was super responsive and detail oriented. Would def recommend!!”
“Kenneth gave my pup plenty of love, cleaned up after an unfortunate accident (Puppyhood! Gotta love it), and sent lots of cute photos to make us feel comfortable. He took great care of her during his multiple visits today and he shows great care and love for other’s animals!”
“Allyson has been such a great sitter for all my fur babies! Wonderful at communicating schedule changes well in advance. I will continue to use her drop in services as a regular :)”

“Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank you 🙏🏽”
“Cannot say enough good things about Lesly and Josh! They took such special care of my Lily. They were able to work with me and be flexible when I was stuck at work and couldn’t collect her right away. You can tell they truly care about the babies in their care ♥️”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I have spent most of my life caring for pets. I currently own one dog named Mackey. I would love the opportunity to care for your pet and give them the attention they need. Please Note: I do not accept pets that are not crate trained and potty trained. I work from home so my schedule is flexible and I can use that opportunity to provide plenty of walks and breaks as needed for your pet. Our normal walks occur twice a day in the morning and in the evening with intermittent outside breaks throughout the day. My current dog is indoors. All pets staying at my home will be indoors with A/C and access to plenty of water, food and toys.
“We needed someone to care for our puppy while we came to town for a funeral and Beverly provided great care! She was very communicative and reassuring as this was our first time using this service!”

“This was my second time with her! As always, she was attentive and caring. Strangely my fur baby eats well with her despite him being a picky eater. It feels really secured to have a day care where I can trust with confidence. Will continue to use her service going forward!”
“I was looking for day care very last minute and Sheena was so kind to be available for us. My pup had a great experience and brought a nice doggy bag home. Highly recommend!!”
About: Big Star Pet Care was started in memorial of our best friend of nearly 10 years, a rescue pitbull who was our Biggest Star. That’s why we give everyone our Big Star Promise— to treat your animals like they are their own Big Star. I've taken care of many animals, from cats & dogs, to rodents, reptiles, birds and more. This makes my experience in animal care varied and diverse. I am comfortable with all sizes of pet and breed, as well as many different temperaments. We are privately insured with pet care professional insurance (including vet coverage)— for the utmost safety of your loved ones, so that you can rest at ease while away. We are always learning new ways to expand what we can offer to our clients. We strive to follow instructions left by the pet owner and always send plenty of photos and updates. I am comfortable giving baths and can administer oral medication if needed. Thank you for considering Big Star Pet Services, I look forward to meeting you and your best friend(s). As a wife and wife team, your care will be carried out by either of us or both of us— but you can ensure top quality care regardless of who is providing it. Walks and drop ins before 8am and after 5pm are often attended by Gabrielle, while housesits are generally carried out by Mary due to Gabrielle’s full time position. Boarding care is handled by both parties. Most messages are responded to by Mary. Mary does have a standing M-F 3 hour babysitting gig from 1-4, though it often ends early. We try to be flexible and accept most bookings, including emergency last minute bookings. We offer a number of services; however, we do not accepts pets from more than one family at a time during boardings so that we can ensure the utmost attention, care and safety of your furry friends. We live in a large townhouse with a fully fenced backyard, 3 cats who keep mostly to themselves but may befriend gentler dogs and a 6 month old puppy who is generally well behaved and in training. We have no children or other people living in the home. We can create separated spaces if necessary, while still ensuring your furry friend gets the care and attention they deserve, while in a comfortable space for them. Mary is dog and cat CPR/First Aid certified through the American Red Cross. We have experience with animals who have special dietary, medication and medical related needs.
“Amazing dog sitter. My dog receives love and attention with Kristall and she enjoys the company of her dog also. She always has a great time. Thank you for all that you do!”
“Absolutely had to give Chyna 5 stars! Rocky was obviously very well taken care of! Chyna kept us updated with messages, pictures, and videos. Rocky got fed on time, played with, and even watched a movie while getting lots of cuddles! We are so happy with Chyna and her services and will most definitely be booking again! She is the best!”
About: What makes me different from other sitters is the genuine love and care I have for animals. I’ve had pets my entire life, from cats to dogs, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve also rescued several lost animals and helped reunite them with their owners, which shows how deeply I care about their safety and well-being. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for like family. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m home all day and have the time and flexibility to give pets the care and attention they deserve. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love throughout the day. Since I’m home often, pets will have plenty of supervision and won’t be left alone for long periods. When you book with me, you can expect a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where your pet will be treated like family. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. Since I’m home all day, pets will have plenty of supervision, attention, and care throughout the day. I make sure they have regular potty breaks, playtime, fresh water, feeding on their normal schedule, and a calm environment where they can relax. I also understand that every pet is different, so I do my best to follow each owner’s instructions and keep their routine as close to normal as possible. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and cared for like family while you’re away.
About: What sets me apart from many sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and my ability to genuinely connect with them quickly — especially pets who may be anxious, shy, older, highly attached to their owners, or simply used to lots of companionship and attention. Over the years, I’ve helped care for foster litters of puppies and kittens requiring around-the-clock feeding, monitoring, and weight tracking alongside my best friend, who is a veterinarian. I also have veterinary technician and shelter experience, along with hands-on experience caring for senior pets, administering medications, reinforcing basic puppy training, and supporting animals with special routines, anxieties, or medical needs. I’m currently working with one of my own dogs in service dog training, and I’m also a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who previously worked with pre-K children with autism using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. Both experiences have strengthened my understanding of behavioral reinforcement, nonverbal communication, patience, routine, trust-building, and adapting to different personalities and emotional needs. In many ways, both children and animals communicate heavily through energy, body language, consistency, and feeling emotionally safe, and I’ve found those skills help me connect especially well with animals of all temperaments. I’m also an avid walker and love spending time outdoors, taking long walks through the beautiful Riverside and Avondale neighborhoods, local parks, and nearby green spaces — especially when the weather cools down a bit. For more active dogs, I genuinely enjoy playtime, walks, fetch, and engagement throughout the day, while calmer pets usually find me just as happy to provide cuddles, companionship, and a peaceful environment. Because I operate my design company remotely and on my own schedule, I’m often able to spend extended time in the home providing companionship, supervision, structure, affection, and a calming presence throughout the day and overnight — not just quick drop-ins. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and creating an environment where they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. Because I own and operate my own boutique design firm, my schedule is highly flexible and allows me to work remotely from anywhere with a reliable internet connection. I’m also involved in tween mentorship and creative consulting, both of which I manage on my own schedule, making it easy for me to prioritize the needs and routines of the pets in my care. I’m naturally both an early riser and a night owl, so I’m available for early morning feedings and walks, late-night potty breaks, overnight companionship, medication schedules, and pets who simply feel more secure having someone nearby throughout the day and evening. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy the companionship, structure, and calm presence animals bring. Whether I’m working quietly from my laptop while keeping your pet company, taking breaks for walks and playtime, or providing attentive overnight care, I’m able to give pets far more presence and consistency than many traditional sitters with rigid work schedules. Safety, trust, and creating a calm environment are extremely important to me, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home. I have two friendly small dogs and cats of my own, so pets staying in my home should be comfortable around other animals and able to coexist peacefully. Our pets are very much part of the family and are welcome on furniture and beds, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving, home-like environment rather than a kennel atmosphere. I understand that every pet has different comfort levels, routines, and boundaries, and I take introductions, feeding, supervision, and transitions seriously to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. If a pet prefers to be crated or separated at times, I’m happy to accommodate those needs as well. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m highly respectful of routines, security, cleanliness, and household expectations. As a longtime homeowner and business owner myself, I understand the level of trust involved when someone gives access to both their beloved pets and their home. I’m conscientious about alarms, locked doors, medications, feeding schedules, potty routines, cleanliness, and communication. Because I work remotely from home in the Avondale area, I’m also able to provide a high level of flexibility, supervision, companionship, and overnight presence for pets who are used to having someone nearby throughout the day.
“Makenzie was willing to work with me on my short notice and responded promptly. She is a perfect babysitter and I wound recommend her services to anyone who wants a loving home for their fur baby.”
About: I've had dogs in my home as long as I can remember. My dogs are my best friends. I can accommodate more than 1 dog if needed. 3 dogs from the same owner. I work a full-time job. I can board dogs from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I have dogs of my own. They have their own room. Feed them on a schedule and let them play in the backyard on nice days. I have a fenced in back yard. I have dogs. I can separate them from other dogs if needed. Just let me know of any special instructions that I may need to accommodate.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.
“Great communication, very flexible with my crazy schedule. They obviously love the dogs they work with Virgil recognizes their road and is so excited to go to day care! Will recommend to anyone I know needing dog care and will be using them again!”
About: I am a responsible and attentive pet sitter. Ensuring they have plenty of outside breaks, food, and water for the animals. I spend time understanding from the owners what their pets enjoy.?? I retired to Jacksonville to be with my daughter, and my schedule is very flexible. I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was 6 years old. We go for walks in the local park and the building is pet friendly with a pet yard that they can play in. I adhere to my client's rules in their own house. I make sure I understand the meals, medication, and exercise needs of their pets. I work to complete training needs. Providing a loving and fun environment.

“Pam is amazing and trustworthy. I used her because I already knew her and knew she was amazing, and was not disappointed. She communicated well, my dog loved her and she made sure my dog, who is a new rescue known for getting loose previously, was safe, secure and well taken care of. 100% recommend Pam. She is respectful, kind and she is calm and confident with dogs. 😊”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me.

About: Im comfortable with any type of animal. My mom has been rescuing animals since I was born. I have worked with big dogs, small dogs, nervous dogs, energetic dogs- you name it! And I know how to take care of them accordingly. Cats are also my speciality, as I currently have around 20 cats. I do have 2 dogs as well, though. I love animals more than anything, and I promise your pets will be happy and safe in my care. Im generally always available to help! I do not currently have a job, and I haven’t started college yet. My availability is very open. Your pets needs are my top priority whenever I am with them. That means that I am alert and focused when taking care of them. I am kind and gentle, but I am also happy to play and be enthusiastic depending on the pets personality. Every pet is different, with their unique preferences, boundaries, and attitude. I take that into account and get to know your pet so that I can make their care special and personalized.
“Mr. Scott is wonderful with our fur baby, Jojo. Jojo always looks forward to his evening walks and is already waiting at the door when Mr.Scott arrives. It’s clear how much he cares, and we appreciate the attention and kindness he shows every time. We’re grateful to have someone so reliable and caring looking after Jojo.”
About: I am a cat parent of 8. I have experience with cats from birth until years old. I was there for my cat while pregnant and during birth. I also have experience with bottle fed babies. I can give oral medication when needed. Liquid or otherwise. I prefer small and medium dogs. I love their high energy but I also love to just hang out. I have a bit of a flexible work schedule but tend to have plenty of time to work around it if needed. Care for your pets would be top priority. I know cats can be solitary creatures but also know they love to play and cuddle. I will make sure no matter where they are that they feel loved and cared for while their humans are away.
“Amber is the best!!! She always goes above and beyond, and the is the sweetest. Lots of pictures, lots of detailed notes. My little furry family loves her.”
“Amanda was great with my dog Klaus! She included lots of pictures of him during their walks which gave me a piece of mind while I was at work. I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
About: Hi, my name is Margaret and I would love to take care of your furry friend! I grew up with dogs and cats of all different sizes. I have years of experience with a variety of dogs and their unique personalities. I am a teacher, so my schedule allows me to give a lot of attention to your dog, especially on the weekends and during the summer break. My husband and I own a house in Murray Hill. Our house has a fenced in backyard. There is also a park just a block from our house that is perfect for running around and playing fetch. We have a labradoodle, Olive, who loves playing with other doggos. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat, Lola, that tolerates being around dogs, as most cats do. I am an elementary school teacher so my schedule is fairly flexible during the school year. Evenings, weekends, holidays, and summers offer me plenty of time to check in and be with your furry friends! I have a playful labradoodle that will keep your pup busy and entertained as well as a dog door to a fenced in backyard that keeps them safe and allows for all the potty breaks. The dog door can be closed off if needed.
About: First time booking on rover? Use my code to save $40! KENDRR12795 Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and personalities. My journey started with my first pet, Frenchie, a toy poodle, followed by my family’s German Shepherd, Snoopy, and now I’m the proud dog mom to Jazmine, my adorable mini Dachshund and certified cutie patootie! I’m the go to pet sitter for friends and family, whether that means house sitting so pups can stay comfy in their own home, taking long walks, or hosting playdates to help burn off extra energy. Since I work from home, your fur baby will get plenty of attention throughout the day. Jazmine's and my daily routine includes regular walks, outdoor time to keep up with neighborhood happenings, and a few fun dance breaks (yes, really!). I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule to make their stay as stress free as possible. When you book with me, I promise to care for your dog as if they were my own, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and videos along the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Pet care is already a seamless part of my daily routine. Since I work from home, I’m able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day rather than limiting care to mornings and evenings. During work hours, pups are typically with me in my home office or relaxing on the veranda, so they’re never left alone for long periods. Weekend care is just as flexible, allowing time for longer walks, playdates, and extra enrichment as needed. My day naturally includes regular walks, outdoor time to explore and stay engaged with the neighborhood, and interactive play (plus a few fun dance breaks!). I’m very mindful of maintaining each dog’s established routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any special care instructions, to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. With a fenced-in yard and a friendly resident pup, dogs in my care get both companionship and a safe space to play. As an avid Rover user myself, I know how important it is to feel comfortable with your sitter and their home. I’d love to set up a meet and greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.
“Erika was great and so reliable during our vacation. John loved his walks with her, and we really appreciated the updates she sent while he was out on his walks. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands.”
About: I worked in the dog grooming industry for 20 years. I've bathed and walked every kind of dog! I love animals and at my age walking is all I'm up for now lol I'm retired but still need the love of a dog. The variety I had at the grooming shop has left me wanted it again. I have 2 small older dogs whom I've had since they we're puppies. But they sleep a lot and aren't up to walking anymore... So this is a happy alternative for me. I'm a strong 68 yr old woman who would take great care in walking your dog 😊
“Kimberly has been walking our golden retriever twice a week for a few months, and she has been amazing. She is communicative when needed, and Hampton is always excited to see her. Highly recommend.”
“Vizslas are notoriously aloof and skeptical with new people. Moose is also currently in his angsty tween stage. We had a few previous meetings and greets where he decided he wasn’t a good match with the prospective dog walkers. Jordan arrived on time dressed both professionally and appropriately for a first meeting and walk with a high energy dog. She took the time to introduce herself, meet and bond with Moose, and was very easy to get along with and knowledgeable about not only working dogs but also the Rover program itself. She immediately put both myself and moose at ease. She spent time in the back yard playing fetch with him (he tends to make you feel like you’re an automatic tennis ball thrower) and then took him for a nice walk. She quickly learned his hand signals and Dutch and English voice commands. He was very disappointed to see his new friend go and is looking forward to his next adventure with her- as he has been missing his daily runs with me and now has a new awesome exercise buddy! 10/10 would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi there! My name is Kate and my husband's name is Josh. We have both been pet owners our entire lives and absolutely love caring for other pets as well as our own 3 (G + Sadie + Toby — Chihuahua Mix + Rat Terrier + Jack Russel Terrier). We own a home in Jacksonville just off 295 on the west side with a large fenced-in backyard and quiet neighborhood. So lots of walking, running around and play time if you were to have your pet stay here with us and our 3 pups! Our babies are typically social but at the very least tolerant of other dogs as long as the dog is not too hyper or trying to mess with them. My husband and I both work from home so your baby(s) will get non stop attention. We only board small to medium size dogs (less than 30 pounds, some exceptions - feel free to ask). Your dog(s) must get along with other dogs or at least tolerate them. All dogs are separated at feeding times. We are used to serving regular dry, wet, mixtures, raw foods, and administering medications including injectables. With our flexible schedule, we will have plenty of time to walk, play and/or love your pet(s). Our home is extremely safe and doors are always locked (even when we are home). Our neighbors are all extremely nice. Our dogs typically lay on the couch, in their dog beds in our office or on our bed. All get lots of love, pets and treats every day 🙂
“Kenneth followed my instructions and even took my dog for a longer walk than what was scheduled. I would be happy to have him walk Hesed again in the future :)”
“Katie is amazing!! She handled my pups with care and leaves detailed reviews and good pics. She took them for good walks the past two days and gave them snacks afterwards. 10/10 would recommend her!”

“This was our fist time boarding with Chris and his wife and our two pups had a great time! We hope to use them again in the future! Thank you for taking such good care of our babies!”
“Our first time using Rover. We moved our son to Jacksonville and then took a cruise for a week. Joe and his wife came up as a possible fit for our small dog. They were very accommodating for several reasons. During the trip they sent pictures and updates. Good connection.”
“Kristall is the absolute best!!!! I've never left any of my pets with a sitter and I was very nervous. Kristall answered all of my questions at our first meeting. I did a day care day to test things out before my trip. Otis had a great time and I no longer had any concerns with leaving him with Kristall. I was able to enjoy my vacation and received frequent updates and pictures. When I went to pick Otis up I don't think he wanted to leave. Thank you so much Kristall for spoiling my little dude!”
“Kenneth was awesome. He provided updates at least twice a day and always sent pictures. He always responded within a few minutes and took great care of Scooby. She loved staying with him!”
“Amber is great! She took care of my girl for 4 months while I was deployed. She kept me updated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend her! Thank you again!”
“My dogs loved her. They came back relaxed and calm. One of my pups gets anxiety and it’s hard to find someone who makes her feel relaxed and at home. We found that with Christian. She sent daily pictures and spoiled them the week they spent with her. I would highly recommend her.”
“I was very grateful that she accepted my last-minute request. My dog seemed happy and comfortable when I picked him up. She responded quickly to messages, provided updates when I asked, and was easy to communicate with throughout the stay. I would definitely use her services again.”
“Cloey took great care of my Frenchie, Stitch! She kept me updated throughout his stay, and I could tell he was happy and well cared for when I picked him up. She’s reliable, caring, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“We got photos of our pup and lots of updates. She also got along with Cassandra’s pup for play time. Cassandra gave her the attention she needed while we were away. Thank you for taking care of our baby”
“Alyssa was a wonderful sitter! Her home was tidy and set up well for dogs, she sent me tons of pictures each day, and my dog seemed to very relaxed during her stay. Would definitely book with Alyssa again!”
“Fantastic sitter who was able to wonderfully provide for and take care of our brand new puppy. With little experience with a brand new puppy they provided peace of mind and regular updates. I would definitely use them again and would recommend giving them an opportunity to care for your loved four legged friend!”
About: I've had dogs in my home as long as I can remember. My dogs are my best friends. I can accommodate more than 1 dog if needed. 3 dogs from the same owner. I work a full-time job. I can board dogs from Friday night to Sunday afternoon. I have dogs of my own. They have their own room. Feed them on a schedule and let them play in the backyard on nice days. I have a fenced in back yard. I have dogs. I can separate them from other dogs if needed. Just let me know of any special instructions that I may need to accommodate.
“Em was absolutely amazing! She sent many updates through photo and text. Will definitely be using her again. My sweet pup was super happy when I picked him up.”
“Imani was great, to say the least. Due to last minute plans, I needed a sitter for the 4th of July and I'd gone through several inquiries before reaching out to Imani. She was immediately responsive and was available to board my baby. Usually I like to do a meet & greet prior to drop off and while she does offer that, I was so last minute with my plans until time didn't allow us that opportunity. After chatting with Imani and mentioning my concerns about the fireworks with the added complexity that my dog would be in an unfamiliar place for the night, Imani assured me Jinger would be in great hands and that she was prepared to give him the care and any additional attention he may have needed. Although Jinger only stayed for the night, I feel like he now has a 2nd family. Imani sent several photos and I could tell Jinger had made himself right at home. Imani's boys were an added bonus. We have small boys at home and Jinger loves them to pieces. I could tell he took to her family just the same. The boys didn't want him to leave but I promised he'd be back. Thank you tremendously, Imani!”
“Carole and Scott took extreme care of my baby Halo. I was sent lots of pictures throughout my trip that I really appreciated. Halo came back so excited and looked like she was having so much fun with their dog family. She now has a pack!!! I will book again and again. Thank you all so much for taking great care of Halo.”
“Mary and Gabrielle were wonderful with our cat, Tux, while we were on vacation. Since he had never been away from home and can be very skittish, we really appreciated their patience, care, and regular updates as he adjusted to the new space. They stayed communicative throughout the stay and made us feel confident that he was in great hands. Overall, it was a great experience—we’re very happy and would absolutely recommend them! Sources”
