“Christine was amazing! Accommodated a last minute boarding for my 2 year old pug (Luna) — which was a life saver! She sent frequent updates of her snuggling with Luna, playing with her, and even napping with her. Highly recommend 😊”
“Kenneth was very communicative and checked in with pictures of Timmy! I had Timmy boarded for 10 days and knew he was well taken care and had plenty of fun while I was away. Would absolutely rebook. Very professional and kind.”
“This was our fist time using Rover.com. Our Nessie had a great time with Kristall. In fact I think she was spoiled a wee bit! Will definitely use Kristall & Rover again.”
“Kendra took excellent care of my little dachshund Fergie. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter and Kendra calmed my nerves and assured me that my baby would be safe and cared for. She sent me updates and pictures. Fergie looked calm and relaxed. I would definitely book Kendra again!”
“Christopher was very easy to communicate with and sent photos of my dogs throughout the week. He let me know when one of them didn’t seem to be eating normally and he was confident in handling it. My dogs came back happy and without issues.”
“Lindsey & Jose took great care of my pup! They have a wonderful family who all loved on him and made him feel at home. He enjoyed playing with their dogs and running around outside in their fenced yard. They sent pictures and were very responsive. I highly recommend Lindsey & Jose for your pup!”

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 😊
About: I work fully from home with a relatively flexible schedule so I have the opportunity to spend all day with my doggy and would love to spend time with your dog and even let him or her have a play mate in my dog, Stella! We love to keep our dogs active with playing in the backyard, walks around the neighborhood and to our local park, or even walking on the River Walk. I’m experienced with caring for small - large dogs for both my family and friends! I work fully from home Monday-Friday in which I have plenty of time to give attention, play time, and walks to and for your fur baby! I have a fenced in backyard perfect for playing fetch! Additionally I have a dog of my own who would love to play with your pup all day long! I do have a crate that your pet can stay in if needed.
“Christian has watched my pup 3 times!! She’s picked him and and dropped him off each time and it’s seems like it’s always last min for me.. so I really appreciate here and my pup just seems very happy when I see him again! I have not met Christian personally but she sends me updates often and I just all around appreciate what she has done for me!”
“Creasida and family were fantastic! They came through for me and Sweetness when we were in a crutch - our usual sitter was out of town. Sweetness had such a great time with their 2 girls. They have a great yard with plenty of space for the girls to run and play. Their home is very pet friendly. Creasida shared several pics and updates throughout the stay. Will definitely use them again! Thank you both!!”
“Therisa was kind and super helpful with Penelope. She sent us lots of updates and cute pictures. Penelope had a great time with Therisa’s family.”

“Jamilla was absolutely amazing!!! I can’t recommend her enough. She was incredibly thorough and thoughtful in every aspect of her care, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She truly went above and beyond, making sure my cat was not only cared for, but genuinely comfortable and loved. It’s clear she has a natural kindness and attention to detail that sets her apart. I would trust her again in a heartbeat!”
“I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“Katie was so nice and personable and was great with timing and feeding! Our boy has a special diet but I was confident that Katie would handle it with ease. We received many pictures of playtime!!”
“I felt completely safe leaving my cat and home with Liz while I was out of town. She understands cat personalities and routines and was kind and patient with my kitty during her daily visits. I would hire her again.”
“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.”
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.
“Avery was amazing with my fur baby! She sent updates and even offered to feed my bird as well! I appreciated her so much for that! Very detailed with the updates as well! Will definitely be booking with Avery 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!!”
“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!”
“Ashley took care of our two cats while we were away and ensured that they both had everything they needed! Happy to build a relationship with someone we trust so we can relax while we’re away.”
“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. ☺️”
“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!”
“Left our 2 kitties with Christian and they were very well taken care of! She sent plenty of updates and pictures, and treated them like her own. Would definitely recommend her for your cat sitting needs!”

“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 🙏🏽”
“My fur baby is very clingy and I was initially hesitant after a negative experience at a local boarding business. However, she adapted well to Chyna and I plan to use her services in the future.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I needed someone to keep our very new puppy, without any experience with puppies I didn't want to put her in the little cage. So I searched on Rover and found this very wonderful family. They were very helpful, kind and accommodating especially since she hadn't completed her shots. If you are looking for someone to treat your furry family member like their own family you have found your sitter. They helped tremendously..... Thanks”
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.
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.
“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!”
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.

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.
“Thanos had a great time at doggy daycare with Joseph and Reanaleena! He has a ton of energy and was happy and exhausted when I picked him up. Will definitely book again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs all of my life & LOVE them. I work from home in a professional job, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals during the day and I take my dog out on four walks a day. I also have a good sized, enclosed yard. I am extremely hyper vigilant, so your pet will always be taken care of with me. I treat dogs like children and My Mika is extremely spoiled. She gets along with all other dogs and cats. I currently work from home full-time, so I have plenty of time to care for animals in my home. I take my dog out on four walks a day and I have a good size enclosed yard. I have a fenced yard with sod. I don’t leave my dog out there for long - only to go to the bathroom because she prefers to be inside with me and right now it's too hot. I will accommodate whatever needs your dog has. I have a fenced front yard as well and my dog likes to be on the porch people/dog watching.
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.
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.
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.

“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. 😊”

“Mandy is absolutely phenomenal. I have nothing but great things to say about her and how she cares for my Hazy, always giving love to my cats too! She is incredibly responsive and reliable. I’m really happy to have found her and have a dog walker this great to rely on. 🩷🩷🩷”
“Jada is the only person I trust to watch my pup. I was very nervous to leave him home as a 13 week old puppy; but I felt so much better knowing that Jada was taking care of him. She was very responsive to all of my requests and communicated with me throughout their walk. I could not recommend more!”
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.
About: I am a huge animal lover- I currently have a few cats and dogs (high energy Belgian malinois and huskies), as well as a dozen quail. Previously, I’ve had multiple birds, turtles, fish, and chickens! I am extremely experienced with all types of caregiving and love doing it! I regularly take my dogs to fast cats, any outdoors activity like paddle boarding, runs most mornings, etc! I have extensive experience dealing with dogs with various medical issues. One of my dogs was diagnosed with a severe case of Addison's disease, requiring daily medications. My other elderly dog has frequent seizures, so I am confident in my ability is caring for special case animals. I am available for sitting, walking, or overnight boarding at any time, any day! I have completely open availability including late nights or early mornings. Safety is the most important thing- I carry my own pet insurance that covers more than just rover's. While on walks, I do not allow dogs to meet other strangers or animals in any situation. I always carry spare leashes and an air horn.
“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.”
About: I’ve always had a strong passion for animals, and their welfare and enrichment is extremely important to me. I have multiple years of experience with newborn kittens and puppies, as well as senior animals. I know how to administer medication, and well as emergency procedures such as CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. I’m able to plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship—not just quick visits. I also enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to incorporating into my routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences—so your pet feels comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or just relaxing companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. I’m very mindful of their behavior and will keep an eye out for any changes in mood, appetite, or health. I also respect your home by keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. After visits, I double-check doors, gates, and anything related to your pet’s safety. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and cared for, and for you to feel completely comfortable trusting me in your home.
“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’ve always been around animals since I was little, living on a small farm and growing up taking in four cats of my own! I currently work at home as an artist, so I am very flexible and able to accommodate during the summer until school starts back up for my son. I have plenty of experience with all kinds of animals, knowing how to handle them, play, feed and clean! Very respectful of your pet’s personality.
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.
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.
“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: I’ve been looking after pets my whole life, dogs, cats, chickens, goats, geese, and even a peacock one time! Right now I have two lil kitties of my own that are the light of my life. I am available at anytime to play with your pups and kitties! I can visit at least two- three times a day to look after your babies! I will do my best to send a picture or fun video every visit for you and your families peace of mind. Please give list of instructions for me if you have specific preferences on how to care for them.

About: I work fully from home with a relatively flexible schedule so I have the opportunity to spend all day with my doggy and would love to spend time with your dog and even let him or her have a play mate in my dog, Stella! We love to keep our dogs active with playing in the backyard, walks around the neighborhood and to our local park, or even walking on the River Walk. I’m experienced with caring for small - large dogs for both my family and friends! I work fully from home Monday-Friday in which I have plenty of time to give attention, play time, and walks to and for your fur baby! I have a fenced in backyard perfect for playing fetch! Additionally I have a dog of my own who would love to play with your pup all day long! I do have a crate that your pet can stay in if needed.
“Christian has watched my pup 3 times!! She’s picked him and and dropped him off each time and it’s seems like it’s always last min for me.. so I really appreciate here and my pup just seems very happy when I see him again! I have not met Christian personally but she sends me updates often and I just all around appreciate what she has done for me!”
“Imani was absolutely professional and provided my babies with comfortable accommodations during my 4 day vacation. My dogs are seniors and require a lot of attention and I appreciate how attentive she was to all of their needs. As a dog mom I’m always a bit nervous about leaving my babies behind when I go on vacation, but she put my mind at ease. She sent ample pictures throughout their stay and I’ll definitely be using her again in the future. 5/5 🐾, highly recommended. I would definitely book her now!”
“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!”
“Bogey has stayed with Edward several times now and he always comes home raving about how awesome Edward is. We love the care Bogey receives and feel so blessed to have found someone to watch “our boy” we need to leave him. Highly recommend Edward. He is very responsive and sends daily pictures and updates.”
“My dogs came back HAPPY! Not nervous, angry, shy or desperately trying to get back to me. That never happens. Romi’s is 1000% a place I trust to tell my friends about and I hope more dogs and dog owners get to experience boarding with her.”
“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!”

“Charlie and Madison are wonderful. I have a sole Hal needs dog so I was nervous for his first “sleep away in all his 9 years. He was happy and content in the numerous pictures provided for updates. Even with the stress is a new environment he did not have any complications with his new “nannies”. I was able to enjoy my getaway knowing my baby was safe and well cared for.”
“Sheena was a great sitter for our fuzzball! He enjoyed his time there and was able to get some well deserved rest! Thank you so much for taking care of our dog, we will coming back when we need a sitter the next time!”
