“Though it was the first time our pups stayed with Tara&Justin and we went on a pretty lengthy trip, Tara made the experience so comfortable! With almost daily pictures and updates our minds were put at ease. They cared for our pups like their own and I know both dogs cant wait for the next time they’ll be staying with Tara&her family again. Couldn't have asked for a better experience after being reunited with our two very happy and cared for pups!”
“Morgan and her family are very welcoming and Nala had lots of fun with all of her kids. Morgan did a great job keeping me up to date of Nala and sending me pictures and videos. Nala had lots of fun. Thank you Morgan as a first time user of this app, you increase my confidence.”
About: Dogs have always been part of our life and out here on the farm they are family members. We are currently on our own training journey with our newest bloodhound as she is becoming SAR certified. Always movement and activities going on out at the farm. I typically feed the dogs early morning around 7am and again around 7pm. Dogs have over an acre to run with a mini pool and large air conditioned shed outfitted with a couch and dog beds. Less like boarding and more like doggie vacation. Will follow owners requests for care. Photo updates will be provided daily. Large fenced dog specific area. Dog home has camera for 24 hour monitoring. Can crate inside overnight if requested. Dogs are fed separately.
“Thanks Morgan, We are Very happy with the care and attention you provided our pup. Now that he is home he seems a little bit lost as we cannot provide him with all the activity and interactions with other dogs he had while with you. Thank You for the great care you showed our dog Bean!!”
“Marcela was just awesome with Charlie. He is a very active run free kind of dog and she had him running. You could almost see him smiling in the videos she sent us of him! He had the time of his life. Would highly recommend her for your pet. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Cindy and Steve were awesome! Our dog Theo had a great time staying with them, and they were very excited to spend the 5 days with him. We received many photos and updates about our pup, and he was in great spirits when we picked him up. We really appreciated the meet and greet that Cindy and Steve offered us especially since our dog is young and we were a little nervous about leaving him. They were so kind and sensitive to that and made sure that we knew he was having a great stay with them. Thank you Cindy and Steve!!”
“Lori and Jim took wonderful care of our pups. Both were amazing, gentle, and loving with our two dogs. Lori was very responsive and thoughtful to send us frequent updates on our pups. We highly recommend Lori.”
“Paco had an amazing stay with Viktoryia and Coco! I got lots of updates and photos. Would happily leave Paco with them again. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”
“Laurie was a tremendous Rover sitter for our Peaches. Peaches looked happy in all the pictures we received. Laurie was true to her word that she would send multiple photos a day, which is exactly what we loved the most. She is very responsive and caring. I would Highly recommend anyone looking for a Loving Family for their pet to choose Laurie. She will be our #1 chosen sitter from now on!!”
“Linda and Brian cared for our Rue girl for two weeks while we were out of the country. It’s impossible to put into words how much we appreciate the love and care that was extended to our baby. She made fast friends with their sweet dog, Carmi, and Linda sent daily pictures or videos showing them having so much fun together and then napping together from exhaustion. Linda made the time to meet us well in advance of caring for Rue and really listened to what Rue needed, including walks, being brushed, the ability to have her crate to sleep or take breaks in when she wanted, and following her feeding schedule. Linda allowed Rue free rein in her home, and even made time for her to relax on the lanai to people and bird watch; something she loves to do at home. Rue had an amazing time, and this allowed my husband and I to really enjoy our vacation knowing she was having the time of her life too. We wholeheartedly recommend Linda for pet sitting services. I don’t think you’ll find anyone as wonderful as Linda and Brian out there! (Thank you so much for everything, Linda!)”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“I cannot say enough about the FANTASTIC care Floyd provided for my dog. Floyd walked her multiple times per day, sent me updates twice a day & responded to every inquiry I had. Floyd’s home is immaculate, his backyard is fenced & safe for animals. I HIGHLY recommend Floyd for the care of your animals (I won’t use anyone else). All I can say to Floyd & his wife is: “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!””
“We had an excellent experience boarding our senior diabetic Schnoodle, who requires special care and insulin injections twice daily. The care was exceptional. Jewell has a very kind and calm personality and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We highly recommend Jewell for anyone looking for compassionate, attentive, and reliable care!”
“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”
“I’m 100% sure my golden doodle loved her stay with Thelma and her husband! Thelma helped my girl to realize she could swim, and taught her to find the stairs to get out of the pool. It was so nice to get pictures of my doodle while I was out of town, so reassuring that my girl was enjoying her stay. And there were other dogs there for her to play with, good time for an only dog. I am happy to recommend Thelma, and I’m sure I will book with her again.”
“We had a great experience with dana. She was very caring and kind with Zane. We will definitely using her again in the future. We appreciate all her texts and pictures made me really feel it ease while I was away. Thank you so much dana”

“Jasmine watched our cat while we were away for 10 days. She was very attentive and followed all of our instructions. She gave us plenty of updates via the rover card and sent lots of pictures. We felt very comfortable with having her take care of our cat while we were away.”
About: I have had cats throughout my entire life and have cared for many different personalities, ages, and needs. Cats are my favorite animals, and I especially love the process of earning their trust and learning what makes each individual cat feel comfortable and safe. I currently have cats of my own, including a blind cat, and I have also cared for a cat with asthma as well as cats with various illnesses and special care needs. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, gentle, and respectful of a cat’s boundaries. I am comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, companionship, monitoring behavior, and following specific care instructions. I understand that some cats are social while others need more time and space, and I always let them warm up to me at their own pace.
“Thank you Tara. Our 2 dogs were well taken care of. I appreciate booking her last minute. We usually can have family watch our pups, but we will definitely call Tara again if we need a sitter.”

About: Cats have been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve been caring for them since I was just three years old. Having spent a lifetime learning their unique language, I am completely in tune with feline behavior—from the most social, playful kittens to shy, independent seniors. Currently, I am the proud parent of five cats of my own. Managing a five-cat household means I am an absolute pro at reading subtle body language, respecting a cat's boundaries, keeping up with specific feeding schedules, and handling the less-glamorous side of cat ownership, like meticulously keeping litter boxes fresh and clean. Your cat won't just be getting a visitor; they'll be getting a lifelong cat lover who truly understands how to make them feel safe, happy, and loved

I only have class for a few hours in the morning and some afternoons during the week days. I am available for dog walking and for general pet sitting responsibilities If I am caring for a dog then I make sure that they get plenty of exercise with a walk and being let outside. I also follow the directions of the client if they need to be crated or if a portion of the house is off limits to the pet. For cats I will make sure that they are fed and that the litter box is clean and anything additional the client is looking for.
About: I have experience in taking care of the smallest of critters to large beasts. I grew up on multiple acres and had the chance to take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, everything and anything. I am a kind soul who will do anything I can for any furry guests. I have watched dogs and cats all over the states. I watch them in my home and also don't mind being mobile if needed. I am currently working from home. I am able to take care of animals needs throughout the day or night. I am able to engage all hours of the day. I am on an .50 acre. I have a very large front yard. That includes some grass and some shell. I am a street away from the celery fields.` I am open to having animals in my house and traveling to others if needed.
About: Hi! I’m Molly, and cats have been one of the greatest joys of my life. I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats with special medical needs. I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to learn their routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable administering oral tablets and liquid medications, and I keep detailed trackers for feedings, medications, litter box habits, water intake, and any behavioral changes so nothing gets overlooked. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy earning a cat’s trust at their own pace. Whether your cat wants someone to play, cuddle, or simply provide calm companionship, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your kitty is in good hands.
“We can leave our cat Charlie knowing he will receive great care from Alana. She is responsible, always shows up on time and stays and plays with Charlie. She administers medication and is responsive to my concerns. We couldn’t get back due to the hurricane, no worries, Alana just extended her time caring for Charlie . Charlie is a shy cat and is reticent of people outside our family. Alana has built up trust and can easily pet and play with Charlie. A five star rating doesn’t cover her passion or dedication!”

“My pups had an awesome day on the ranch with Morgan! She returned my inquiry text within minutes and set up a meet and greet. She was very thorough with her questions about my dogs and their habits, preferences and rules. She asks about your dogs' play style, if your dog is allowed on furniture, are they allowed to dig, are they allowed to have sticks and treats. My dogs have essentially no rules, but that was fine too! She was sweet and friendly and also professional and knowledgeable. I was very confident leaving my dogs with Morgan for a day of daycare while our usual sitter was out of town. She was flexible with my early morning drop off and flexible with pick up since I didn't know what time exactly I would be done with work. Most importantly, my dogs had a great long day with new friends! They spent time inside (snoozing on the couch in the AC) and outside very long leads so they could sniff and explore. The pups said they had a great day and can't wait to come back! We'll definitely be back when we need a backup and possibly for boarding. Thank you Morgan!”
“Alyssa was great and accommodating!! Our pup was so loved and cared for. She helped us out last minute and our buddy said he had a great time☺️would def recommend!”
“Hudson had such a great time with Sidney and her crew! Hudson enjoyed playing with her other dogs and you can tell Sidney cares a lot for the dogs she takes on! Sidney was kind and responsive, and was very flexible with a short notice booking. We will definitely be re-booking for daycare in the future 😊”
“Amelia was nothing short of amazing!!! She took great care of my little one. She even sent me pictures of my sweet boy and Lolita. I was late for my pick up time due to traffic and she was very understanding and able to accommodate. I would definitely recommend her to everyone!!!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all kinds. I take pride in being a responsible, dependable sitter who treats every pet like family. As a local resident and mom to a sweet 4-year-old daughter who also adores animals, our home is full of love, care, and gentle energy. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in safe, capable hands, and I always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddles, I always make time for animals throughout the day. My daughter and I love spending time with pets, so caring for them fits seamlessly into our family’s rhythm. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and giving plenty of attention and love. Because I work locally and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to devote consistent time and energy to each pet I watch, making sure their needs are always met and they feel safe and happy. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of space to play and relax — I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. I keep to each pet’s usual routine with regular walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. No matter where I’m watching them, I treat every pet like part of the family.
“Morgan was wonderful! My dog was very nervous to be left behind, and Morgan not only took good care of her but sent me pictures throughout the day to let me know she was doing fine.”

“Wonderful day care experience. We are getting ready to board Bingo for the first time later this week and because he had never been boarded, we wanted to get him used to being without us and his upcoming stay with Floyd and Connie. After bonding with him, they sent us some great photos of which immediately put my mind at ease. Bingo seemed happy and not at all fearful, as we thought he’d be. I’m sure the time he will be staying with them will be a good one.”

We both like to stay active whether that is going for a run or long walk, attend local events, explore new areas, play with toys, continuous enrichment and training.

About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. I do not just watch them, I connect with them! I genuinely care for them and treat them like they matter, because they do. You can feel completely at ease knowing their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. As an animal rights advocate, I approach every animal with genuine compassion and awareness, tailoring my care to who they are, not just what they need on paper. Whether they are energetic, shy, playful, or sensitive, I meet them where they are and give them the attention and love that helps them feel truly safe and seen. You can trust me to show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule to allow consistent time for walks, feeding, check-ins, and companionship. I generally maintain a flexible routine, which allows me to adjust based on each pet’s needs and the specific care plan we agree on. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can stay attentive and responsive while pets are in my care. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I prioritize clear communication and planning in advance to ensure expectations are aligned and your pet’s routine is supported as closely as possible. I aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment based on each pet’s routine and personality.

In your home, I keep things consistent with their normal schedule so they feel secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, low-stress space with close supervision and attention to safety and care. I stay mindful during walks and interactions and avoid anything that could feel overwhelming or risky. I also provide regular updates with photos and check in if anything seems off so we can decide what’s best together. **I do not have pets of my own, but my roommates have pets in the other part of the home. They are well-managed, and I take care to ensure safe, controlled interactions. I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred, using multi-barrier safety measures.
About: I've grown up with a large variety of pets my entire life, ranging from dogs (big, medium and small), cats, fish, beared dragons, chinchillas, and hamsters. Therefore I am very comfortable when it comes to handling varying types of pets and their personalities. Currently a full time college student and also looking for a part time job, but all my classes are online so my availability is pretty flexible. I walk 2 of my dogs daily as well as play with them in my backyard for at least 15 minutes a day since they are younger and need the enrichment. I also feed all my pets daily and provide them with clean water and litter boxes for those who use it.
About: I will treat your babies just like mine. I will take them to dog parks, on my boat, or adventures if you'd like and if theyre adventurous. I have lifejackets for all sizes. Also, I'm amazing with senior dogs if they just want to relax at home. Currently, my dog is 13 years old that I've had since she were puppy. The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up in the country, I had the opportunity to care for a wide variety of animals, from beloved family pets to more unique companions. My experience includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, birds, chickens, turkeys, ducks, a degu (yes, they're real!), a tortoise, snakes, and lizards. Today, I share my home with our rescued Lab/Pit Bull mix, whom we've loved since she was just a few months old. We recently said goodbye to our senior dog after a courageous battle with cancer, which only deepened my appreciation for the special bond we share with our pets. I truly love animals of all kinds (with the exception of spiders and cockroaches!). Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I'll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. With my husband serving in law enforcement, safety, trust, and integrity are values we live by every day. You can feel confident knowing I'll treat not only your pets with exceptional care, but your home with the utmost respect, responsibility, and security while you're away. I'm a wife and mom of two teenage boys, and I work as both a paralegal and a real estate agent. Because I work primarily from home and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, I'm able to provide attentive, personalized care for your pets. Whether your furry family member needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or simply someone to keep them company while you're away, I can easily accommodate their routine and give them the time and attention they deserve. I understand that every pet is unique, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. While I'm not currently able to host pets in my own home, I'm happy to care for them in the comfort and familiarity of theirs. I understand how important it is to keep your pet's routine as consistent as possible while you're away. I'll carefully follow all of your instructions—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and bedtime routines—to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care that gives you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy and your home is being treated with the utmost respect while you're away.

My goal is to provide reliable, personalized care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. im currently a working part time mom who is pregnant with a 3 year old as well but my 3 yr old is in school so im available during the day after 1 and at night time i have a fenced yard! but with my 3 year old id prefer if i was able to have your babies in my home to make things easier
About: I have taken care of a dog and cat my whole life and currently I only have 1 cat who is my baby, Falafel. She is 6 months old. I have my degree in marketing and work from home so I can tend to your babies and I am flexible. I work from home so I have a lot of spare time throughout the day. I have my own car and live by a park that I take your babies to. I am pretty flexible when it comes to hours as I do not have any human children or a partner. I would love to spoil your pups! I have tons of grass and areas to go walking in my area and I know exactly what to do to keep your dogs happy and entertained! I have treats here as well.
About: I've grown up my whole life with many, many farm animals including dogs and cats. I always loved the pets the most and I can't wait to meet your's! My current occupation is as a Flight Instructor, so I have a very flexible schedule (since I make my own schedules). I am normally available anytime of the week since I have the flexibility to move things around my schedule. Have you ever met a pilot that's not oriented around safety? Well guess what, I can guarantee that your pet will be left in safe, loving arms.
About: I have experience in taking care of the smallest of critters to large beasts. I grew up on multiple acres and had the chance to take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, everything and anything. I am a kind soul who will do anything I can for any furry guests. I have watched dogs and cats all over the states. I watch them in my home and also don't mind being mobile if needed. I am currently working from home. I am able to take care of animals needs throughout the day or night. I am able to engage all hours of the day. I am on an .50 acre. I have a very large front yard. That includes some grass and some shell. I am a street away from the celery fields.` I am open to having animals in my house and traveling to others if needed.
About: I walk dogs, cat sit, and house sit around my neighborhood and it’s my favorite part of my week. I have fostered around 150+ animals! I once fostered a momma dog and helped her birth her babies and nurse them to health! I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else! I currently work part time as a dance teacher but when I am not teaching I am either dog sitting or house sitting, if there is a family in need of a sitter I can make it work! I easily can follow direction on security of the home and the dogs. The animals are my number one priority and focus when I’m on the job.
About: Hello! My family has had pets (cats and dogs) my entire life. I currently have two cats of my own- Nova and Arrow. I am very responsible and know how important pets are in one's life- they are family too! I enjoy running and would love to take your dog on a run with me! I can also play fetch for hours. I have experience dog-sitting for many of my friends when they are out of town, as I am almost always here during the holidays (my family lives out of state). I'm unable to have a dog of my own right now, so I would love to spend some time with yours! Whatever special needs your pet requires, just let me know I will happily oblige! I can be available on short notice and am around most weekends and holidays! I'm also hoping to meet new people through this that share a similar passion for animals :)

“Though it was the first time our pups stayed with Tara&Justin and we went on a pretty lengthy trip, Tara made the experience so comfortable! With almost daily pictures and updates our minds were put at ease. They cared for our pups like their own and I know both dogs cant wait for the next time they’ll be staying with Tara&her family again. Couldn't have asked for a better experience after being reunited with our two very happy and cared for pups!”
About: Dogs have always been part of our life and out here on the farm they are family members. We are currently on our own training journey with our newest bloodhound as she is becoming SAR certified. Always movement and activities going on out at the farm. I typically feed the dogs early morning around 7am and again around 7pm. Dogs have over an acre to run with a mini pool and large air conditioned shed outfitted with a couch and dog beds. Less like boarding and more like doggie vacation. Will follow owners requests for care. Photo updates will be provided daily. Large fenced dog specific area. Dog home has camera for 24 hour monitoring. Can crate inside overnight if requested. Dogs are fed separately.
“Thanks Morgan, We are Very happy with the care and attention you provided our pup. Now that he is home he seems a little bit lost as we cannot provide him with all the activity and interactions with other dogs he had while with you. Thank You for the great care you showed our dog Bean!!”
“Marcela was just awesome with Charlie. He is a very active run free kind of dog and she had him running. You could almost see him smiling in the videos she sent us of him! He had the time of his life. Would highly recommend her for your pet. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Cindy and Steve were awesome! Our dog Theo had a great time staying with them, and they were very excited to spend the 5 days with him. We received many photos and updates about our pup, and he was in great spirits when we picked him up. We really appreciated the meet and greet that Cindy and Steve offered us especially since our dog is young and we were a little nervous about leaving him. They were so kind and sensitive to that and made sure that we knew he was having a great stay with them. Thank you Cindy and Steve!!”
“Lori and Jim took wonderful care of our pups. Both were amazing, gentle, and loving with our two dogs. Lori was very responsive and thoughtful to send us frequent updates on our pups. We highly recommend Lori.”
“This was our dogs second stay with Britney. Luna loves staying there and Britney is fantastic. She sends pictures and videos along with messages on how everything is going. We have zero concerns leaving our dog there!”
“Mylena is amazing! My dog Tessa has never been around children and let her know I was worried about that and she put me at ease the morning of drop off. This was my first time putting my animal in boarding before. Mylena texted me EVERY day with pics and updates. My heart broke leaving her for 2 weeks, but I knew she was in great hands. I will ALWAYS go back when I need a pet sitter. Thank youuuuu so much for making my girl feel right at home. Highly recommend!!!!!!!”

“Again I’ve had Marlena watch my pup several times and he has so much fun when he comes home, he sleeps for like 2 days lol That even went to the Farmers Market and took my pup with them and had him in dog carriage and he got all the attention and prob loved it lol”
“Jeffrey and Stephanie are fantastic dog sitters — I couldn't recommend them more highly! From the very first meet-and-greet, they were warm, attentive, and clearly dog people through and through. They kept me updated with photos and messages throughout every stay, so I always knew my pup was happy, safe, and having a great time. My dog absolutely adores them. It's such a relief to have sitters I trust completely — they treat my dog like family. Highly recommend booking with them!”
“Jacqueline was amazing to our pups!! She treated them like her own! She kept them on their normal routine. Jacqueline sent pics regularly and stayed in great communication. I will be rebooking when we travel again!”
“Deborah did a fantastic job! She communicated to advise if all was going well. Was very professional and in my opinion, is an expert in dog sitting. She has several dogs and is well equipped to manage a dog. Was pleasantly surprised how easy the process was and how my Lola enjoyed the stay. Great experience and will definitely use her service again!!”
