“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”
“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bogey’s New Favorite Human! We’re so thankful to have found Edward B. for our English Lab, Bogey. He can be a bit bougie (especially about his water—filtered only, of course 😄), and Edward embraced his quirks with so much love and patience. We got daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little notes that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust 100% with our pup. Thank you, Edward , for loving Bogey like your own. We’ll absolutely be booking again!!”
“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“My old boy Harley stayed with Nhi for 2 days. Nhi followed all of my instructions concerning Harley's care. She was very loving with her care for him. She really went above and beyond to do her very best for Harley. You will not find a better person to care for beloved family member.”
“I must say this was the first time using a boarding service that was not the ordinary pet boarding organization. So I was a little hesitant using a service through an app no less. I found Shannon and she turned out to be an absolute gem. She's very accommodating, communicates, send pics, and you can see the passion she has for taking care of your pet. Overall, just puts you at ease during the process which is important to me since I travel. Needless to say, would probably not be going back to the old boarding services.”
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic! She cared for my two dogs over the holidays and they had the absolute best week! She was highly communicative and I trusted her completely and knew my dogs were in the best hands. Highly recommend Kelly and her wonderful farm escape for your pups!”
“Megan is a terrific dog-sitter. I normally take Mitzi to her for daycare, but I broke my leg and needed a few overnight stays just so Mitzi could get some exercise playing with Megan's wonderful dogs. Megan stepped right up. 100% highly recommended!”
“Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated regularly and made sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Would 100p recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”
“They were so sweet and took great care of our little guy! Sent pictures and updates of walks -will definitely be our go to sitters if they are available! Thank you so much :)”

“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!”
“I really don’t have the words to explain how amazing my sweet Daisy did with Ms. Alicia and her husband. Ever since adopting Daisy my boyfriend and I have always been really nervous about leaving her with people that she doesn’t know. We did a meet and greet before her stay, she became attached and did very well. They did so much with her (car rides, walks, playtime), sent me pictures and videos throughout our week of being gone. We never once felt nervous or worried that our baby wasn’t loved and cared for. We are so thankful we have found the greatest dog sitter for our sweet baby. If you are looking for a fun, loving, reliable, caring dog sitter, she is the dog sitter for you.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have experience caring for my own Siberian Husky, Bluey. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, active, and on their normal routine. I’ll treat your pet like family by providing plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of love. I know every dog is different, and I’ll follow your care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I only take one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I always supervise dogs while they’re outside and follow each owner’s instructions carefully. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe and having a great time.
“Richard was the best! He went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were a little bit nervous at first because this was our dog’s first stay away from us, but Richard eased all of our nerves! He surpassed all our expectations. Not only did he take amazing care of our dog as if he was his own, but also sent lots of photos/videos throughout the week so that we never felt too far away. He even noticed some allergy hotspots and gave him a soothing bath to help. We would highly recommend Richard!”

“I’m so grateful I found her! She is so great at communicating and always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind. I’m especially thankful that I’m able to use her for the month that I’m here. She has been so kind, reliable, and wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets! 🐾🤍”
“Sara was super sweet and helpful watching our kitties over the winter holiday! She even brought a few toys for them on Christmas! We definitely plan to contact her again for our next pet sitting occasion!”
“★★★★★ Macy was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of both of my dogs while I was away, checking in three times a day and spending quality time walking, feeding, and interacting with them so they felt comfortable and secure. When Khaleesi unexpectedly became sick, Macy went above and beyond and took her to the emergency vet for me, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while I was out of state. She kept me fully informed throughout my entire trip and was dependable, caring, and attentive. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely trust Macy with my girls again and highly recommend her!”
“Bryce and his wife were able to come visit my kitty with only a days notice. They took their time to let him warm up to them and sent me pictures and great updates. Thankful to have some peace of mind that he was doing ok while I was gone.”
“CJ was awesome! I didn’t realize that I was almost out of cat food in the feeder. CJ messaged me, got the food needed (special diet that has to be picked up from the vet), and reloaded the feeder. I called the vet with my card to pay for it but the service was amazing. She sent me pics of my cat and the food, water, and litter. Great service! Above and beyond!”
“Steven did a great job communicating with me before, after and during the visit. He was very patient with my old boy,Domino giving me great peace of mind. Will definitely book Steven again when the need arises.”
“She was wonderful!!! I️ had to leave last minute for a family emergency and she was so communicative and sweet with my cat! My girl loved her and she took good care of her! 10/10 recommend !”
“Tania was straight forward, it was very easy to meet her and hire her. She made constant contact when showing go to my property to check in on my cat while I was away. I would definitely recommend and book her again.”
“Matthew was terrific!! By the second day my shy cat was playing with him and getting pets by the third. Thank you for an excellent job! I will definitely book Matthew for future travel.”
“Brooke was great! Checked in every day in a timely fashion, and sent plenty of pics to let me know my lil gal and lil pal were well taken care of while away. We’ll definitely be using her next time!”
“This is the third time we have hired Lexi in the last six weeks.... and there is a reason she has become our "go-to" sitter -- our kitties love her, and she does a great job. There is not much we can say that has not already been written in prior reviews -- we are very happy having Lexi take care of our home and our cats while we are out of town. :-)”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. My husband and I currently have two cats and one dog and all 3 are rescues. I love seeing our furry family grow and their insecurities from previous homes fade away. I also have experience with dogs who aren’t friendly with other dogs so should your dog need to be kept away from others on our walks I will use the upmost caution as if they were my own dog. Im happy to work with larger dogs and won’t take on more than I can control because the safety of your animals means more to me than just another buck. I’m an expert communicator and would love nothing more than to give you peace of mind that your furry family member is being taken care of.
“Josilyn is wonderful with animals and a lifesaver! She was able to stop by and give me peace of mind during an emergency. I was in a stressful situation and she took some of the pressure off so that I could deal with what was happening in the moment. Priceless!!!”
About: I have taken care of cats since owning my own for the past 4 years. I have administered pills, cut their nails, and have taken proper care of their liter boxes. I have even helped bottle feed small kittens until they are able to eat normal food themselves.

“Kaitland is so amazing. She’s responsive, so gentle, and her communications is always on point. We baby our 10-year old frenchie, and Kailand and her daughters are the most amazing and trusted pals we could have had asked for. 10/10 - would definitely book again”
About: I volunteered at Ana’s Angels for 3 years, I walked the dogs, made them look nice and presentable for people wanting to adopt them, I fed them, gave them water, and cleaned up their poop. I will be able to do the same, if not more for your dog or puppy. I am a big animal lover, and would love to help you out! I have my own animal at home, but able to come during the day or board any cats that are friendly with other cats as needed. I will come to your home and take your pet and whatever they may need…if they need a walk, to be let out, fed/water, or even some love. I am very respectful and will follow whatever rules you oblige upon me, and will show your pet so much love and care!
About: Hi! My name's Gisselle I’m 26, an animal lover, and part of a proud military family. I got into pet boarding as a way to help my family financially while also pursuing something I genuinely love—caring for animals . Growing up with different animals helped develope an understanding that can only come with experience. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. I'm currently unemployed and have a great support system of friends and my spouse who LOVE dogs. Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. Typically only gone to do errands. Which isn't more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days. I understand the concerns that come with leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you may not know. My goal is not only to provide your pup with quality care, but to ensure they are treated with the same love, attention, and compassion I would give my own. A few of the protocols I have in place when your pup boards with me include, but are not limited to: regular photo and video updates, testimonials and reviews from previous clients, and passing my Rover background. For your pet’s safety, I am always physically present when they are outside to help prevent any potential escapes or elopements. I also have cameras on the property to monitor the surroundings, and I keep the contact information and locations of nearby veterinarians and animal hospitals readily available in case of an emergency.
“Anne was amazing!! I honestly was a little nervous leaving my puppy for the first time, but she kept me updated throughout the day! Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“Hunnyhad an amazing day making new friends.. This was the best experience I have ever had being new to the area and I would most definitely recommend Marilyn if you want your baby safe and well taken care of. Hunny will only be going to Marilyn Q.”
About: I’ve always lived with many cats and dogs my whole life. I’ve had a variety of pets of all ages including rabbits, snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters. I’ve also fostered many kittens and puppies and I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats, the majority rescues. I’m a huge animal lover! I am mostly a stay at home mom with 4 pets. We take the dogs on daily walks and sometimes to the park. We are always spending time outdoors in our spacious back yard with our dogs running around and cats climbing trees and roofs and such! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats both very friendly if spending time together! I also have a fenced in yard with a garden. I have a separate indoor petroom stocked with a couple crates (if needed for my big dog), enclosed cat litter boxes, a large cat climbing tree, plenty of pet food and treats, many water bowls and toys for all! And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
“Thank you so much for welcoming my babies into your home and taking good care of them. I can tell they had a great time and felt right at home. I appreciate the pictures and communication about how they’re doing through the day. I definitely plan to book more services with you in the future!”
“Wendy was super awesome to accept my last minute booking for my baby's evening care. I have never left my Squiggle with a pro-sitter, so I was apprehensive about the experience - but I had to try it out, knowing I would probably need sitting services in the future. Wendy was on time picking up my little guy, and even went above and beyond when she went by the pet store to pick up Squiggy's fave brand of food at my request. Thanks, Wendy. She was responsive, quickly answering when I messaged to check on my baby. She even sent me pictures, and although he looked miserable BC he missed me (we are VERY attached), I was comfortable knowing he was well cared for while with Wendy. I had appointments until later that night and Wendy was very accommodating and dropped him off right when I asked, and she gave me a full update via Rover - right down to how many times Squiggy made poo. That is some serious awesome. And although very excited to see me and be home, Squiggy wasn't traumatized I left him with a stranger. Now that he has met Wendy, I wont hesitate to book her again, should we need her. Squiggy made a new friend, and I am now totally cool with Wendy watch my little guy again.”
“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!”
About: I have had the joy of having dogs and cats as my companions my entire life! Including 2 painted turtles and fish. I've always had a love for animals and nature. I absolutely enjoy meeting new pet friends of all kinds. I have been pet sitting here in Jacksonville for 3 years now and have had the pleasure of caring for parrots, fish, cats, and dogs. A client of mine has a cat that needs medication as well as my own dog with allergies. I've done pet sitting for my own veterinarian's small farm with ducks, chickens, mini ponies, and mini donkey's as well. I now basic training as my own dog attended puppy classes at the K9 Obedience Club of Jacksonville. In my younger years, I worked in a veterinarian clinic for 2 years. I took a different path and started a career in the medical field in a sleep lab and am now getting back to what I truly love. Pet care! Either way, I have a nurturing nature and will treat your pets just like my own! I am a stay-at-home mom currently. I pick my daughter up from school weekly and am unavailable from 1pm-2:30pm due to the commute. Otherwise, I'm available to care for or play with your pet any other time during the week. I am available anytime on the weekends. I have a large fenced in yard with two friendly dogs for your pets to play with. I crate my own dogs and can do the same for yours if need be. I give my own dog medication for her allergies and can do the same for your own. I never leave outdoor play unattended as I do have a pool. If feeding time is needed, I separate all so as to not cause issues. I give lots of love and attention!
“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.”
About: My husband and I have cared for dogs our whole lives. We have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages. We also have experience with leash training, teaching commands, and crate training. Between Chad and I, there will almost always be someone at house watching your dog. Our fully fenced in yard allows us to let your dog run around and play at anytime. We typically feed all of our animals 2x a day, but can feed your’s on a different schedule if needed. All dogs are taken out every 4 hours during the day. At night, the last potty break is around midnight, and the first one around 7am. Since we have 4 dogs of our own, we are used to building our time around them. If we are ever gone from the house, we put the dogs in their crates for their safety and comfort. As mentioned above, we have a fully fenced in lot with ample space for dogs to run around and enjoy. We love dogs and any dog that we care for will be treated as if it is our own. We love snuggling with them in bed, throwing the ball outside, and taking them on walks. Our goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and as at home as possible. Due to our schedules, one of us is always home unless we run an errand together, so your dog will always be in great company. We have 4 dogs: 1 fixed female dachshund 4yo, 1 fixed male dachshund 8yo, 1 intact male bloodhound 8yo, 1 intact male hound mix 1yo. All of our dogs are up to date on shots and have ample experience playing with other dogs. The dachshund’s tend to do their own thing, and the hounds love to spend as much time as they can outside. None of our dog’s are aggressive, but we are prepared to separate any of our dogs from the main living space, if ever needed. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat who is up to date on shots, he usually stays in our room, closed off from everyone else when inside. We have a 1.5 year old son who adores all animals and will love your dog. We take precautions to make sure he is never getting into a dog’s space and disturbing their space. Our son’s room is gated off from all animals. We have a fenced off area in the back of our property with chickens.

“Everything went smoothly and Midnight was very happy thank you again for everything and we will see you on the return trip in a couple months. I cannot leave you a tip at this time you know why but I will get you one soon.”
About: I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I naturally connect with animals of all personalities, including shy, anxious, senior, and high energy pets. I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and individual needs. I have experience caring for: • Dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages • Senior pets requiring extra patience and attention • Cats with a variety of personalities and care needs • Rabbits and other small animals • Pets requiring oral medications and routine care • High-energy pets that need exercise and enrichment I also volunteer with the Jacksonville Humane Society on weekends, where I continue learning about animal behavior, handling, and enrichment while helping care for shelter pets. More than simply feeding or walking pets, I focus on building trust and creating a calm, low stress environment so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each visit, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving attentive and compassionate care. As a college student with a flexible schedule, pet care is one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. I enjoy staying active with dogs on walks and spending quiet time with cats and other small animals. My schedule allows me to be available throughout the week, including many evenings and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate last minute requests whenever possible. I’m organized, dependable, and committed to providing consistent, loving care that fits seamlessly into your pet’s routine. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a rewarding part of my day. I live in a spacious apartment that provides plenty of room for pets to relax and feel comfortable during their stay. I also have a friendly pet rabbit who is accustomed to being around people and other animals. For the safety and comfort of all pets, my rabbit stays in his own private room whenever I am boarding or caring for another animal. My apartment community also has a fully fenced dog park where dogs can enjoy supervised off leash playtime and exercise. Safety is always my top priority, and I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to help them feel secure, loved, and at home while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and open communication so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

“Ashley was wonderful! She was prompt, communicative, and took great care of our little Australian Shepherd on his walk. She kept us updated on how he did, including his potty breaks, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

And a very family friendly neighborhood for walks and a spacious (not fenced) park as well.
About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, family friends’ dogs, and other pets. I currently care for three dogs and two pet snakes, so I’m familiar with meeting the needs of different animals and keeping a consistent routine. I’ve helped raise two litters of puppies, giving me experience with dogs from newborns through their senior years. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, cleaning enclosures, playtime, and giving medication when clear instructions are provided. Most of my experience is with small dogs, though I’ve also cared for larger breeds, including a pit bull. I’m comfortable working with dogs of different personalities, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. I believe every dog deserves patient, attentive care and someone who treats them with the same love and respect they give us. This stays truthful while highlighting your experience in a way that helps build trust with potential clients. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available before 9:00 AM and after 1:00 PM on weekdays, and I’m available all day Friday through Sunday. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date and respond promptly so pet parents know they can count on me. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications with clear instructions. I understand that every pet has a different personality, so I adjust my approach to help them feel comfortable, whether they’re energetic, shy, or anxious. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while providing plenty of attention, affection, and care. I’ll also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is safe and happy
“Macy has been a GREAT dog walker for me this week! She consistently walks a mile+ in the 30 minute bookings and gives my girl so much love! I will definitely be reaching back out to her with my future dog walking needs.”
“Matt was AMAZING with our pit/boxer mix, Frank. He was prompt and timely every day and posted lots of photos to help ease my “pet withdrawals” I will definitely use Matt on a regular basis and will recommend him to all of my dog parents. 10 out of 10 fantastic!!!”
About: Hi! I have been a vet assistant, caring for ALL animals professionally for 6 years! I am a student and mom trying to make some extra money! I take care of dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, and farm animals. I have vet medical experience and can handle whatever you need for your pet. I have a full time job but usually available at any time and any day! I’m willing to work around schedules! I am able to get there as early as 6am or as late as 11pm for anything that is needed. I am willing to follow the way you want me to take care of your pet. Usually, I walk the dogs with leashes and clean up their waste right away. I always make sure they have plenty of water and bathroom breaks. I also like to ensure they have a clean spot to lie in, as well as any medications/injections they need.
About: I’ve cared for animals throughout my life, including my own pets and those of clients, friends, and family. As a veterinary technician, I work with cats and dogs every day, providing compassionate care. I’ve worked with pets sized from newborn kittens to Great Danes. I also volunteered as a dog walker and animal enrichment volunteer at the humane society, gaining experience with dogs of many different personalities and medical/behavioral needs. As a foster parent, I’ve raised several neonatal and underage litters in my home, providing the around-the-clock care and attention. Animals are my passion, and caring for them has become a lifelong commitment of mine. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some extra attention, or more specialized care, I treat every animal I meet with the same compassion and dedication I would give my own. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time as a veterinary technician, so my schedule is limited to the weekends and Mondays. I am willing to work around my work duties to provide compassionate pet care! I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each animal and maintaining the routine they’re accustomed to. Before caring for a pet, I take the time to learn about their personality, daily schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions from their owner. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and their space, and I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship while also giving pets the space they need to feel comfortable. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medications and providing moderate-level medical care when appropriate. My veterinary experience also allows me to recognize changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or other signs that something may be wrong. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would want for my own animals.

About: I truly feel that it is my duty to ensure the happiness and safety of each pet in my care. I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind each and every day that I spend with your pet. Because I am aware of how much pets contribute to our lives, it is my responsibility to ensure that your pet receives the same level of affection and care as they do at home. Even though I've been an animal lover all my life, my experience with dogs is much more extensive than that. Because I love dogs so much, making them as happy as possible is second nature to me. I've worked in cat and dog boarding and daycare for more than ten years. I've worked with hundreds of dogs and wouldn't change it for the world! I have loved and cared for all sizes of dogs, animals with special needs and pets in need of injections or oral medications also Seniors and declining. When acquiring a new customer, usually I like to arrange a meet-and-greet. It's a great way to make sure we're all a good match, which is very important to me. Also, it gives us a chance to talk face-to-face about your expectations for your dog's care. Since you know your dog better than anyone else, it's always fun to talk to owners in person about what makes him or her tail wag. Finally. I adore getting to know new dogs and demonstrate I am a welcome presence and I am here to make friends. My everyday availability is twenty- four hours a day and seven days a week unless i update my calendar because i am completely booked with pets. In my home - No pets allowed on beds, fenced yard, non-smoking household, walks every few hours in owners home - walks every few hours, overnight boarding available
About: As the saying goes, we truly do not deserve our pets. Most of us know this already. But our pets do deserve someone who not only recognizes this fact, but actively works to desperately earn that love and affection they shower us with day in and day out. I am that person :) I am currently between jobs with a bit of a financial cushion to keep me steady for a few months. This will fit in perfectly with my schedule because it’s completely free right now. I am in school right now for Human Services but that will not affect my work. My girl (Maggie) has her crate from when she was a puppy and that’s still very roomy for her, but she doesn’t use it really unless she’s pouting before i leave and she knows she’s not going with me. My house is very clean and she always has fresh water, plenty of potty breaks and lots of pets. Maggie is a bit of a ‘petmaxxer’ where she will consistently bother me until she receives enough pets, but let me tell you, there is never enough pets for her! She’s is my life.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of our family, and caring for them is something we truly love. We provide a safe, loving, home-style environment where every pup is treated like one of our own. We have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, and we understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. Whether your pup loves running and playing, going on walks and adventures, or would rather curl up for cuddles, we tailor their stay to what makes them comfortable and happy. We’re comfortable with feeding routines, crate routines, administering basic medications, frequent potty breaks, and providing plenty of exercise and attention. Since this is a family-run home, your pup gets lots of interaction, supervision, love, and updates while you’re away. Our goal is for you to feel comfortable leaving them—and for them to be excited to come back! 🐾 Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and since I’m currently unemployed, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve!

I have a small fenced in area for your fur babies to run and play. I also have two friendly dogs of my own to keep your pet company. If your dog needs a break I can kennel them easily. Your pets are allowed to my home their home while you’re away.
“CJ was amazing in winning the trust of our anxious pup, Lily. She calmly worked through Lily's fears and became her friend over the course of just 2 walks! She is patient, enthusiastic, and clearly loves animals. We highly recommend CJ!”
“2 more walks with Nancy = happy dogs & happy owner. :-) She sends great notes in her Rover card, keeping me abreast of any issues she notices with my dogs. She is a very caring dog walker.”

“Marlena and her husband took care of our puppy as if she was an extended part of their family. We are so thankful that we were able to relax and enjoy our vacation and not worry about whether she was okay. We got many pictures and updates of our baby running around and living her best life. Now she's exhausted from her vacation and snoring on the couch! We will definitely use Marlena anytime we need a sitter.”
“Second time Kaitland takes care of my dogs. Always so kind, nice and patient (my great dane has lots of energy and is strong). Definitely you want Kaitland to petsit your pets!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bogey’s New Favorite Human! We’re so thankful to have found Edward B. for our English Lab, Bogey. He can be a bit bougie (especially about his water—filtered only, of course 😄), and Edward embraced his quirks with so much love and patience. We got daily updates, adorable photos, and sweet little notes that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. When we picked him up, he was calm, happy, and clearly very well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing we have someone we can trust 100% with our pup. Thank you, Edward , for loving Bogey like your own. We’ll absolutely be booking again!!”
“I had such a great experience! My dogs clearly had an amazing time and looked like they were having the time of their lives. Brooke was very attentive and kept me updated throughout their stay, sending pictures every day and letting me know how they were eating and doing. I really appreciated the communication and knowing that they were being well cared for. When they came home, they were completely worn out, which tells me they had a wonderful time! I’m very happy with the care they received and will definitely be using Brooke again. Highly recommend!”
“I must say this was the first time using a boarding service that was not the ordinary pet boarding organization. So I was a little hesitant using a service through an app no less. I found Shannon and she turned out to be an absolute gem. She's very accommodating, communicates, send pics, and you can see the passion she has for taking care of your pet. Overall, just puts you at ease during the process which is important to me since I travel. Needless to say, would probably not be going back to the old boarding services.”
“Kelly was absolutely fantastic! She cared for my two dogs over the holidays and they had the absolute best week! She was highly communicative and I trusted her completely and knew my dogs were in the best hands. Highly recommend Kelly and her wonderful farm escape for your pups!”
“Megan is a terrific dog-sitter. I normally take Mitzi to her for daycare, but I broke my leg and needed a few overnight stays just so Mitzi could get some exercise playing with Megan's wonderful dogs. Megan stepped right up. 100% highly recommended!”
“Reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. She kept me updated regularly and made sure my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the stay. Would 100p recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”
“Josilyn was great! This is my first time having a puppy and she was able to calm my nerves about it. She was more than happy to work on his obedience training while taking care of him and made sure to get him lots of exercise and play! She is also a dog groomer and was patient with Watson during his first grooming session! Excited to use her again to watch my baby.”

“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!”
“I really don’t have the words to explain how amazing my sweet Daisy did with Ms. Alicia and her husband. Ever since adopting Daisy my boyfriend and I have always been really nervous about leaving her with people that she doesn’t know. We did a meet and greet before her stay, she became attached and did very well. They did so much with her (car rides, walks, playtime), sent me pictures and videos throughout our week of being gone. We never once felt nervous or worried that our baby wasn’t loved and cared for. We are so thankful we have found the greatest dog sitter for our sweet baby. If you are looking for a fun, loving, reliable, caring dog sitter, she is the dog sitter for you.”

“Richard was the best! He went above and beyond all of our expectations. We were a little bit nervous at first because this was our dog’s first stay away from us, but Richard eased all of our nerves! He surpassed all our expectations. Not only did he take amazing care of our dog as if he was his own, but also sent lots of photos/videos throughout the week so that we never felt too far away. He even noticed some allergy hotspots and gave him a soothing bath to help. We would highly recommend Richard!”
“Debra did amazing with my pups, I would highly recommend her. She played with them and sent lots of pictures. She was highly communicative and flexible.”
“I appreciate Deandrea for everything ! This was our first time using pet sitting services and she took great care of our baby and kept us up to date on everything. She was awesome !”
