“Ashton has kept our GSD puppy for us twice now, one stay being just one night and the other 9 days long and has done great both times. We will definitely continue to use Ashton and recommend her to friends. Reya is about to stay with her for another week while we go get married and it’s nice knowing our girl will be well taken care of, still be able to have her regular routine, and not be stuck in a kennel all day.”
“Anne is just down right amazing. Over and above for the love of doggies and doggie owners alike! Thank you Anne for being a blessing to us as we brought our first baby boy home!”
“My dog recently had back surgery, he still has special needs and she took him right in. She immediately started sending updates and pictures, I knew right away that he was in good hands. She and her husband are very nice people and treated my babies like they were their own. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“Patches always is happy and healthy whenever she comes back from a weekend with Aaron. I can depend on him to give me updates and deal with her unique set of needs”
“Marina and her family were absolutely incredible. Buddha was treated like the family dog and made me feel at such peace knowing where she was. Our flight home was delayed due to a snow storm and Marina was quick to help and treated us with patience/understanding. Will be using again!”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“Destiny took great care of our 3 dogs! She sent pictures and updates each day and even got my picky eater to eat well. One of my dogs really dislikes being left at sitters but bringing him home, he was happy and playful so I know he was well cared for and enjoyed his stay with Destiny. They all almost seem sad to leave their furiends! Thanks Destiny! We hope to have you care for our pups in the future! 🐾”
“Absolutely awesome family!! Boots had an excellent weekend being loved & cared for while I got away for a Daughter, Moms & grands trip up Savannah, GA way. Angela sent pics & updates every day! I had no worries about my pup while we were away. Rover, this is a fantabulous service to offer!! :) Thanks thanks thanks!!”
“Valerie was amazing! We came to Panama City on vacation to see our grandbaby & Valerie watched our doggie. She is so nice & has the absolute best backyard for the dogs to run around. The yard is totally fenced in & very secure even for the littlest dogs. I talked to her on the phone prior to our visit since an in person meet & greet wasn’t possible. She made me feel very comfortable & showed me a video of where Daisy would be & of her backyard. Valerie’s dogs were very friendly with Daisy & Daisy had a really great time. She was exhausted when we picked her up. I highly recommend Valerie if you want your doggie loved & pampered”
“Tracey was our knight in shining armor for this trip. Our regular sitter at home backed out last minute and we had to bring our dog with us on vacation to a facility that didn’t allow pets. I was a wreck trying to figure out how to navigate the situation when I found Tracey who was only 5 mins away. She graciously took our Sophia in, who had never been away from us before, despite her being very nervous. I was also not 100% sure about the potty training situation since she had not stayed anywhere away from home before, but Tracey reassured me that it would be fine and took her in so we could enjoy our trip; mostly stress free. I was also a little apprehensive as well as my little girl and she sent us pictures and updates so we could have peace of mind during her stay. Sophia seemed to warm up to her quickly which was also reassuring. So grateful we had this option.”
“I would highly recommend Rob and Wendy! They were both incredibly kind and caring to my dog. They kept me up to date on how my dog was doing, which was very fun to see pictures of what he was up to! Lastly, they are great people who love dogs!”
“Shannon made us feel very comfortable about leaving our dog with her. She updated daily with pictures and how she was doing and adjusting. It was so nice to be away and to know she was taken care of and happy. River came home exhausted from a week of fun with Shannon and her pets. If you are hesitant to leave your pet but looking for someone who really cares, I can't recommend Shannon enough and I am really happy we found her listing and were able to use her services.”
“The love and comfort from Kinely’s home and everyone in it goes SO far with my dogs. They absolutely adore her and her husband and I trust them like family!! They treat them as their own and that’s all anyone could ever ask for ❤️”
“This was Dolce's first time staying with Jessie and her pack. We appreciated the daily updates and pics. Dolce came home happy and wiped out! That's always a good sign. We hate leaving her behind, but when we do, it's good to know she will be well taken care of. Thank you Jessie”
About: What sets me apart is my medical background and hands-on animal experience across a wide range of species. I worked veterinarian settings for 6-10 years, so I’m comfortable monitoring health changes, administering basic medications, and recognizing early signs of illness or distress. Safety and attentiveness come naturally to me. I also hold a Bachelors in agriculture, which gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, nutrition, and proper husbandry. I regularly foster puppies and dogs, as well as cats and kittens, so I’m experienced with: • Potty training & crate training • Socialization and basic obedience • Bottle feeding & neonatal care • Senior pet comfort and mobility support Your pets won’t just be watched — they’ll be understood, monitored, and genuinely cared for like family. As a stay-at-home mom, my days are centered around caring for others — which makes pet visits a natural and dedicated part of my routine. I structure my schedule around reliable drop-ins, giving each pet calm, unhurried attention and consistent care throughout the day. I follow feeding schedules closely, refresh water, administer medications if needed, and provide attentive companionship tailored to each pet’s personality — whether that’s playtime, enrichment, quiet company, or extra cuddles. I’m respectful of your home, clean in my habits, and mindful of details. I send consistent updates with photos so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away. My goal is for you to return to a happy, relaxed pet and a home just as you left it.

There are two young children (7&9) at my house who are ready to assist in giving endless amounts of attention and play to your energetic pets in addition to quiet areas for those who are more shy to stay comfortable! 😊 Of course, toys and treats provided 💕

“Breana gave me daily updates on "my babies" and sent me pictures of them. She would call me if she was running late so I would not worry about them. She asked permission to wash out a water fountain. I would have Breana in my home again anytime.”
“This was the longest I’ve ever left the cats before and I could just relax and enjoy my vacation because I knew the cats were all good and she was taking care of them. Thank you again!”
“Brittany was kind and courteous. She came to meet our pets beforehand and was flexible with our schedules. Brittany is very warm and our pets felt comfortable and safe with her. Thank you Brittany!”
“Angela was very communicative while checking on my cat and even went so far as to bring in packages when my mail hold didn't take! Lovely sitter and I'll definitely be using her again.”
“Anne is amazing! She was very communicative, reliable, friendly and trustworthy! Not everybody can handle our six furry ones but she mastered it like a pro! Will be using her from now on any time we need to travel ?”
“Jessie has been absolutely amazing. My dogs are a bit of a handful and I was a little worried about introducing a new person into their routine but it hasn't been an issue at all. It has been such a relief having someone dependable and caring that can drop in on them and I don't have to be concerned about it! Thank you Jessie!”
“Minor home emergency that Taylor really stepped up for above and beyond. Respectful of my home and followed a rather long/detailed feeding instructions for my cat. Hoping to use again for my next travel plans.”
“Tonya is an absolute dream! She is so thorough, made a point to come do a meet and greet with our cat, and sent us updates over the weekend when she stopped by to feed and hang out with him. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of both small and large pets, as well as aggressive breeds. I am also familiar with administering medicine to animals as I grew up with several pets that had medical needs. Additionally, in college, I fostered a dog for the first time. I absolutely loved the experience and it made me more familiar with rescue animals and their tendencies. Please keep in mind that I have a 14 year old Australian Terrier (like Todo from the Wizard of Oz) at home should you request boarding. She is very easy going with other dogs, but I kindly ask that other pets be the same. I am a college student who is currently home for the summer. I have a remote internship online and can be very flexible with my schedule in order to care for your furry friends! I understand that our pets are members of our families and deserve all the attention and care we can possibly give me. I take this to heart and do my best to ensure they are well cared for so that you may enjoy your time away, without worry. With that said, I am respectful of the fact that you are entrusting me with your pet and your home. It is my top priority to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe with the situation.
About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.

About: We own one dog and had two dogs before that. Dogs feel comfortable and loved here. No matter if short or long stays and big or small, old or young dog - there's always room and fun to be had. My husband and I grew up with dogs and can't be without. We have toys and some treats but individual dog-approved is always better. When boarding a dog over a time period that requires feeding I expect food to be provided. While I take any dog and treat it like my own I need to know in advance if there are medical or behavioral issues. I'm a stay-at-home mom of four little ones (10-2yo) We get up early every morning and go to bed rather late. I have a fenced yard, a super friendly dog and my kids grew up with dogs so know how to treat/ not treat dogs. I can also separate dogs if needed. Dogs are always loosely supervised. I am a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling 3 out of 4 kids and so am extremely flexible to all needs of your fur baby. My yard is fenced in for drop-offs that enjoy outside and we have a separate room if a dog requires a calmer environment than the business of a bigger family. I grew up with various dogs and sized dogs. I know how to handle most tempers that are not aggressive. I understand every dog has its own personality and timeline. We have two cars so I am available to drive out for drop-ins and walking.
About: I’m available 24/7, I have several years of experience with animals, I’ve been around them my whole life. I’ve rescued several dogs. All of differen breeds. I’m open to any size or weight. I’m also open to any breed. I have two French bulldogs myself and I love them to death. They are my babies. I’m open any hours of the day and have a flexible schedule to fit you and your dogs needs. Looking forward to getting to meet new pups and spoil them. I am very experienced in bulldogs. English bulldogs to be specific. I am aware that they cannot be outside for very long in the heat because they get hot easy. I think I would be a great fit for your dogs! I’m a full time hair stylist but only live a few minutes away from work so i’m able to come home every couple hours to let the dogs out! I also have a dog that had back surgery so he requires extra care! I’m home every couple hours daily. I have a fenced yard and extra crates if needed! My house is set up to be separated if your animals prefers some alone time. I have tons of toys and treats for your babies as well!
“Jessie was a true godsend. This was my first time ever using Rover.com, so I was a little unsure at first. The moment I reached out to her, she responded right away, and we quickly coordinated schedules. Lucky was able to start daycare the very next day. She was wonderful with him, and I could tell he was safe and comfortable in her care. I was able to relax and truly enjoy my vacation knowing my sweet boy was happy. If I’m ever back in Panama City Beach, Florida, I will absolutely reach out to Jessie again. Highly recommend!”
“Beau had a great visit with Ashton and his new doggy friends. He was fed, given water, had playtime, cute pictures taken, and plenty of exercise. He’ll be visiting again. Thank you, Ashton, for the great care you gave our Beau.”
“We were so lucky to get Tessa to dog sit Max. She spoiled him as much as we do. Max was so happy to go to the next day, so I knew she past the test for a great sitter! We are from out of town, and had to schedule the last minute! What a great experience 😍”
“Ashley did a great job with Bode, this our first experience using Rover and we are very impressed. Ashley kept us informed during the day and sent photos. Best de was very well taken care of for sure!”
About: I’ve cared for and have loved animals of all sizes and kinds since I can remember. I grew up taking care of 20+ horses on a farm and always having multiple dogs. I spent over 2 years working at a dog boarding & day care facility and believe I have allot of experience with fur babies of all kinds and find so much joy in caring for them! I'm a stay at home mama and work evenings at a day care 4-8pm 4 days a week. I can be available for as many let outs and cuddles your pup may need! Any schedule you have for your fur baby I would be more than happy to implement so your pup can feel most at home! If possible, drop off/pick up times would preferably be before 3PM or after 8PM Monday-Thursday and anytime Friday-Sunday. I’m an animal lover and would love to take care of your pup! I have a large fenced yard and a sweet female cockapoodle named Sophia! She loves other pups and doesn't meet a stranger! We would love to welcome your fur baby to stay with us wether it’s for the day or the night!
“Aaron is amazing!! Our girls loved being with him and his family. He went above and beyond by providing super detailed info about their walk breaks and if they peeped or pooped. But the absolute BEST part was his super artistic photos of the girls!!! Works of art!!”
About: We’re a pet-loving couple with three small, spoiled pups of our own, and we’ll treat your fur babies like family too! We have a fully fenced yard for safe playtime and plenty of love and attention to give. After moving from Tennessee and now managing three beachside properties of our own, we’re excited to open our home to more furry friends. We truly love animals, and since my husband won’t let me get another dog (yet!), this is the perfect way for us to share our love of animals. We’re retired and manage our three beach properties, which allows us to be home and available 24/7—unless we’re away visiting family or friends. Our flexible schedule and home based lifestyle make it easy to give your pets constant care, attention, and affection. We’d love to welcome your fur babies into our home and treat them like part of the family! We have three small dogs and two cats who are truly spoiled with lots of love, attention, playtime, and snuggles. That’s exactly how we’ll care for your pets, too. Our home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and pets are welcome to relax indoors just like part of the family.
About: From a young age, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to caring for animals. As a child, I began pet sitting for my neighbors and volunteering at the local Humane Society which eventually led me to the veterinary field. With over three years of experience as a veterinary technician, I later transitioned my focus to animal rescue and rehabilitation, along with pet sitting full time. I have extensive experience with a large variety of different breeds, both dogs and cats, as well as with birds, pocket pets and reptiles. I possess both my K9 CPR and first aid certifications, along with a comprehensive understanding of animal medicine gained from my previous experience as a veterinary technician. The safety and well-being of your pets are my foremost priorities while they are under my care. I am dedicated to providing both you and your pet with peace of mind during your time apart. As a full-time pet sitter with my own business, pet care is the centerpiece of my daily routine. Therefore, I can typically provide care on short notice if necessary. Positive reinforcement and strict safety precautions will be implemented while your pet is in my care. Treats will be offered to help encourage positive behavior, please notify me of any food allergies prior to our session. Nose to nose contact with other dogs and/or people while on walks/in my care will be avoided unless prior consent is granted. (All treats provided are homemade by me using simple, high-quality ingredients. Most are single-ingredient options such as dehydrated chicken, turkey, or duck. Some varieties may include natural additions like egg or oat flour. I prepare my own treats to ensure full transparency of ingredients and to minimize the risk of tummy troubles from unfamiliar additives, preservatives, or unnecessary fillers)
“Aurora was awesome! We didn’t worry about our two boys at all with her watching them while we went snorkeling. 1. She came to pick up our boys at 7am at our hotel. She was on time even though it was really early. She even had an impact crate in her car in case of bad/crazy drivers. 2. She sent us very detailed updates including pictures, number of water breaks, and potty breaks. 3. She brought our boys back to the hotel twice! We missed her the first time, our fault, but she was super sweet about it. 4. Our boys came back looking happy and tired! Their step counter logged crazy numbers! Thank you Aurora! Maybe we will see you again one day!”

“Our puppy enjoyed her time with Destini! This is our first time leaving her in care and Destini made sure to communicate with us and send pictures. We couldn't be more happy! Destini is kind and made the experience so easy. Definitely coming back in the future!”
“Katrina was wonderful! She took such great care of my dog and kept me updated the whole time. I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend her! 💕”
“I highly recommend Valerie. This was my first time using Rover and was apprehensive about leaving our fur baby with someone I didn't know. Not only did she take wonderful care of Brea but she sent multiple pictures showing us how her day was going. When you meet Valerie you can see how passionate she is with the animals she cares for. Valerie is very welcoming, and after meeting her you will feel like shes a good friend you have had most of your life.”

About: With over 30 years of pet care experience, I have dedicated my life to providing compassionate, reliable care for dogs, cats, and other animals.

Known for my ability to connect with even the most timid or challenging pets, I strive to ensure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I offer flexible, reliable care tailored to your pet's individual needs.

About: I was raised in Colorado, spending my summers with all types of animals from dogs, cats, goats, cows, horses, and chickens. I am very comfortable around animals, especially dogs and cats. I have taken care of all ages of both dogs and cats from kittens and puppies to senior pets (Thanks Mom and Dad!). I have experience training basic commands to puppies, working with anxious dogs, and caring for senior dogs and cats. I am comfortable administering medications to puppies, special needs, or senior dogs. I am very reliable and aim to provide the best service to every pet and pet parent. I'm patient, kind and love animals. I recently switched from watching pets full-time back to technical writing with the Navy. I have an early schedule that allows me to spend a good part of the day with your pets. While I am at work, I have Furbo cameras set up so I can keep an eye on everyone and throw them treats if they are feeling restless. I have it set up where my dogs will be kept separate to ensure safety. I live in a 3-bedroom home with a large fenced yard and swimming pool. My entryway has double doors that adds a second layer of security for pets during drop-off and pick-up. I have 3 dogs of my own that are very friendly as we have been doing this for quite some time. The two little dogs keep to themselves as they are older. My golden loves every one and every thing. She makes for the perfect playmate. In case your dog is over-stimulated or just needs a break, I have a way to separate my dogs using baby gates so that we are all still together in the same living area but can rest. I also have four crates here, if needed. Safety is my number one priority!

I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
About: I feel that you need patience’s to take care of any pet. I treat my fur kids like they are my babies. So I will have no problem treating yours like that too. I will make sure your baby gets the attention and love they need when they are with me. I will look after them very carefully. I have been in the animal industry for about 5 years. I was a manager of a boarding kennel before I moved to Lynn Haven. So I have plenty of experience with all the furry babies. I know how scary it is to find a sitter on Rover because of all the horror stories. But I am not one of those sitter your fur babies are my top importance. I used to work for a kennel so I understand how pets can act with strangers. I currently do not have a job so I am at home with my fur babies 24/7. So I will make time to make sure I go over and spend time with your fur babies. Make sure everyone is okay & give daily updates on them. In my clients home I will make sure that every fur baby is good to go with all the essential necessities that they need. I will also be bringing along some appropriate treats just so when they see me they will be happy to see me.
“Ava is awesome!! Takes great care of Bailey and is communicative and super nice! She really cares and takes the time with Bailey and Bailey loved her from the start! Happy to have Ava!”
“Tonya was excellent, my dog can take some time to warm up to new people, she was very patient with her and took the time to win her over. She is very professional and reliable, I have used her several times and will continue to do so.”
About: We own one dog and had two dogs before that. Dogs feel comfortable and loved here. No matter if short or long stays and big or small, old or young dog - there's always room and fun to be had. My husband and I grew up with dogs and can't be without. We have toys and some treats but individual dog-approved is always better. When boarding a dog over a time period that requires feeding I expect food to be provided. While I take any dog and treat it like my own I need to know in advance if there are medical or behavioral issues. I'm a stay-at-home mom of four little ones (10-2yo) We get up early every morning and go to bed rather late. I have a fenced yard, a super friendly dog and my kids grew up with dogs so know how to treat/ not treat dogs. I can also separate dogs if needed. Dogs are always loosely supervised. I am a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling 3 out of 4 kids and so am extremely flexible to all needs of your fur baby. My yard is fenced in for drop-offs that enjoy outside and we have a separate room if a dog requires a calmer environment than the business of a bigger family. I grew up with various dogs and sized dogs. I know how to handle most tempers that are not aggressive. I understand every dog has its own personality and timeline. We have two cars so I am available to drive out for drop-ins and walking.
About: I’ve had and taken care of dogs for 10+ years. I’m the go-to dog sitter for most of my family and I enjoy loving on and taking care of any and all dogs. I work part time, usually at night. I’m available most days for walks and daycare as early as 8am on weekdays and weekends. If given enough of a heads up, I can make almost any care plan work. I’m open to caring for your dog anyway you may need. I’m comfortable hanging out with them one on one as well in public if you want them to spend the day playing with other pups. I have two dogs at home with a fenced in back yard.
“We hired Ashton to walk our baby while we were out of town and she was staying with my elderly grandparents. She was amazing and shared plenty of pictures for every walk. We will definitely use her again next time we need someone.”

“Ashton has kept our GSD puppy for us twice now, one stay being just one night and the other 9 days long and has done great both times. We will definitely continue to use Ashton and recommend her to friends. Reya is about to stay with her for another week while we go get married and it’s nice knowing our girl will be well taken care of, still be able to have her regular routine, and not be stuck in a kennel all day.”
“Anne is just down right amazing. Over and above for the love of doggies and doggie owners alike! Thank you Anne for being a blessing to us as we brought our first baby boy home!”
“Marina and her family were absolutely incredible. Buddha was treated like the family dog and made me feel at such peace knowing where she was. Our flight home was delayed due to a snow storm and Marina was quick to help and treated us with patience/understanding. Will be using again!”
“This was my first time ever using the Rover app and I was nervous to find someone who would treat my dog as if he was home. Rebekah was absolutely amazing. She was kind and really treated my dog as if he was her own. She has 2 dogs of her own and although they are much bigger than my dog, they got along great. I would book her again!”
“Destiny took great care of our 3 dogs! She sent pictures and updates each day and even got my picky eater to eat well. One of my dogs really dislikes being left at sitters but bringing him home, he was happy and playful so I know he was well cared for and enjoyed his stay with Destiny. They all almost seem sad to leave their furiends! Thanks Destiny! We hope to have you care for our pups in the future! 🐾”
“Absolutely awesome family!! Boots had an excellent weekend being loved & cared for while I got away for a Daughter, Moms & grands trip up Savannah, GA way. Angela sent pics & updates every day! I had no worries about my pup while we were away. Rover, this is a fantabulous service to offer!! :) Thanks thanks thanks!!”
“I would highly recommend Rob and Wendy! They were both incredibly kind and caring to my dog. They kept me up to date on how my dog was doing, which was very fun to see pictures of what he was up to! Lastly, they are great people who love dogs!”
“Shannon made us feel very comfortable about leaving our dog with her. She updated daily with pictures and how she was doing and adjusting. It was so nice to be away and to know she was taken care of and happy. River came home exhausted from a week of fun with Shannon and her pets. If you are hesitant to leave your pet but looking for someone who really cares, I can't recommend Shannon enough and I am really happy we found her listing and were able to use her services.”
“This was Dolce's first time staying with Jessie and her pack. We appreciated the daily updates and pics. Dolce came home happy and wiped out! That's always a good sign. We hate leaving her behind, but when we do, it's good to know she will be well taken care of. Thank you Jessie”
About: Yes, I mean all of them! Pet care is my full time hobby and job. I have experience with nearly every kind of pet, from cats and dogs of any size to birds, fish, and exotics like reptiles, amphibians, and inverts! 🐈🐟🦎 I started caregiving when I was 14 and my love for animals has truly shaped who I am today at 20. I feel gifted for each and every 4 or more-legged family member I get to meet! 💗 I'm available any day, any time! If I'm not spending time with someone else's pet for work, then I'm hanging out with my own. This is my life and my passion 💖 I have a large, fenced in yard, a friendly dog and 2 cats for your babies to hang out with! There are two young children (7&9) at my house who are ready to assist in giving endless amounts of attention and play to your energetic pets in addition to quiet areas for those who are more shy to stay comfortable! 😊 Of course, toys and treats provided 💕
“Great communication and frequent pictures to allow you to see your pet while away she also sent videos. As if you were there with your pet. Great sitter will use again definitely. Beach Complete lawn care Stan J”
“Our poodles stayed with Cathryn for 4 days/3 nights and seemed to have enjoyed their stay. Yogi got some big dog playtime in and would be happy to visit again. I usually travel with him but this was a girl’s birthday trip to Vegas, so… Thanks so much Cathryn. I don’t trust just anybody to care for our boys and you did a great job!”
About: Lifelong owner - Great Dane, Pit-bull, Puggle, German Shepherd + cats. I grew up with a Great Dane (gentle giants + large breed care), a Pit-bull (high energy, strong, total love bug – Big on positive reinforcement), a Puggle (small dog sass + sniffy walks), and cats, so I’m comfortable with any size, breed or personality. I currently have a German Shepherd, who is friendly, social, and great with other dogs. He’s up-to-date on vaccines and loves having playmates. Your dog will get a built-in buddy for supervised play in our big fenced backyard, but I always do slow introductions and can keep them separate if needed for meals/naps. If your dog refers people only, just let me know and I’ll manage it. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 11 – boarding, daycare, walks, droppings, puppies to seniors. Very comfortable with basic training: sit, stay, crate, training, potty training, leash, manners, no jumping, and sticking to your routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home all day. Dogs here get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in the backyard, lots of exercise, photo updates, and never left alone for long. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so pet care is my full daily routine and I’m home 24/7. Dogs get potty breaks every 1-2 hours in our big fenced backyard, morning and afternoon play sessions, walks, training practice, and lots of cuddles. I have a friendly German Shepherd who loves play buddies, and we spend most of the day outside. Available for boarding and daycare 7 days a week, including holidays. Safety is my top priority. Big fully fenced backyard with supervised play only – dogs are never outside alone. Small, clean, dog-proofed home, dogs never left alone long. Slow introductions with my friendly German Shepherd, separate feeding/sleeping if needed. Daily photo and video updates, I follow your feeding and crate routine exactly, and happy to do Meet and Greets first. I believe pets are just people with fur ❤️
“Jackie was such a great sitter for our Goldendoodle puppy! She kept in close contact with us and gave us updates throughout our dog's stay. We felt comfort knowing that our lil pup was in good hands. I would recommend Jackie 100%!”
About: I have taken care of both small and large pets, as well as aggressive breeds. I am also familiar with administering medicine to animals as I grew up with several pets that had medical needs. Additionally, in college, I fostered a dog for the first time. I absolutely loved the experience and it made me more familiar with rescue animals and their tendencies. Please keep in mind that I have a 14 year old Australian Terrier (like Todo from the Wizard of Oz) at home should you request boarding. She is very easy going with other dogs, but I kindly ask that other pets be the same. I am a college student who is currently home for the summer. I have a remote internship online and can be very flexible with my schedule in order to care for your furry friends! I understand that our pets are members of our families and deserve all the attention and care we can possibly give me. I take this to heart and do my best to ensure they are well cared for so that you may enjoy your time away, without worry. With that said, I am respectful of the fact that you are entrusting me with your pet and your home. It is my top priority to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe with the situation.
