“Extremely knowledgeable about dogs. Such a great find while on vacay and in a jam. Very professional and took awesome care of our sweet boy Remi. Responded quickly and made us feel so comfortable leaving him in another town away from home. Cant give enough PRAISE! ????”

“Destiny was great with my girl Bella. Bella loved her and her dog Sophia. They played so much that by the time it was time for us to pick Bella up they were both tired from playing so much. Bella was scared of thunderstorms and destiny comfort her and made her feel safe and also Bella loved her backyard where she could run and play. She was amazing with our girl and I knew when I picked her up and her being happy and all she took care of our babygirl. The Pics and videos was so wonderful and she sent me them everyday that Bella was there. Thank You for everything you did for Bella. I will be returning to her again . Amazing Dog Person.”

“Patience was incredible to work with this weekend. I always get a little nervous leaving my dog with people but she calmed my nerves right away. She was very communicative, sent pictures and I know my little guy was in great hands! I would recommend her very highly to anyone looking for boarding!”

“Great experience! Jessie took wonderful care of our two dogs, gave one her medication as needed, and made sure they had plenty of time to play. We really appreciated the daily updates while we were away. We couldn’t be happier!”

“Aaron was super! Definitely lived up to his star rating - he was able to take my fur baby on short notice and give me peace of mind to leave on a week long trip. Aaron treated my boy so well, he didn’t want to go home with me at pickup time! I also got daily pictures of my pet that are frame worthy - Aaron has a knack for photo artistry. This was a great experience and I highly recommend Aaron as a caring provider who makes it fun for your pet. Great experience with this sitter!”

“Had a great experience! They even spoiled Zoe by letting her sleep with them…she doesn’t even get that treatment at HOME! She was very willing to let us see her home and did an introduction visit before Zoe’s first stay. I would definitely book with her again. She’s got a great set up for dogs at her home!”

“Anna was wonderful. She kept me updated on how Kona was doing each day. Kona was happy and loved being able to play with the kids on her vacation. I would definitely recommend Anna!!”


“Alissa was amazing with Rue and Remi! She was so sweet, accommodating, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them with her. We really appreciated her taking them on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾🩷🩷”

“I will definitely be boarding with Marina again in the future! She has amazing accommodations for the fur babies she’s house sitting, and I got so many pictures of my dog having an absolute blast. They have a gorgeous fenced in play pen specifically to use as a dog yard, and everything is so nicely kept.”

“Aurora was exceptional. She took great care of my Xena and played with her in the yard. I recommend using this sitter, and I’m grateful she was available for us on short notice.”

“Absolute greatest puppy sitter in the game! Valerie was so sweet, kind and patient with my dachshund. Sent photos & treated him like he was her own! Highly recommended”


“Brittany was amazing! She helped us out last minute and was very responsive. I appreciate her taking her time to get to know my dogs. She sent pictures and videos. The puppies looked and seemed to be comfortable and have lots of fun. Totally recommend Brittany!!”

“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!”

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 prefers 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 ❤️
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 them. 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: 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.

“Breana was amazing with my fur babies! She went above and beyond by maintaining great communication, gave my girls an equal amount of playtime and attention, and even administered medicine to them when needed. And my girls LOVED HER! I have a calico and a cali-tabby, but my calico doesn’t warm up to people very quickly, however, for Breana, she was patient with my Juniper, and juniper seems to love her! I cannot recommend her enough! I will be booking with her again in the future. :) Thanks, Breana!”


“Leona was so great with our Greta while we were away! She made friends with Greta, who is usually strange with people she doesn’t know, putting her at ease till we returned. We highly recommend Leona!”

“Aubrey is an excellent sitter, she went above and beyond. She took amazing care of my cats, cleaning liter perfectly and giving them their wet food. She is a quick responder and really helped me feel my cats were super safe!”


“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!”

“Absolutely fantastic experience! My dogs and I travel a lot for work. I was working a couple of long days and Brianna took care of my dogs while I was away during the day. She stopped in for a meet and greet the night before and was so kind and polite! She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day. I just happened to get back early the last night so I was there when she came to feed them and I got to see how happy the dogs were to see her arriving. That's the ultimate review for me!!! My Charlie loves everyone, but Paisley is HARD to warm up to, and she accomplished that very quickly. If we're back in that area I will definitely be calling her!”


“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!”

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.
“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.”


“Every time we book Tonya to take care of Vandy, it puts my mind at ease. I know that she will be there on time, spend time talking to him and hanging out, and give him his medication. And he loves her, too!”

“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!”


“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 ?”


About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and have experience with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and giving pets plenty of attention. I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine, so I’m happy to follow your instructions and make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also comfortable caring for senior cats and giving them extra patience and attention.

“We really appreciated Abigail's help with taking care of our cat while we were gone over the holidays. She gave great updates every visit with pictures. We will definitely try to use her again when we need someone for our pets.”


“Kristian ("Jade") did a fantastic job with our baby, Alice. She sent us pictures every day, along with a brief report, so we could see how well Alice was doing. We will definitely use Jade again when we travel.”

“Ashton is dependable & I feel very comfortable leaving Louie in her care. She goes beyond the basics & provides a welcoming home-away-from-home for my standard poodle. I feel very fortunate that I found a true gem on River, & I highly recommend Ashton as a pet caregiver for your fur baby(ies).”

“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!”

“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 😍”
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 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!
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: 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!
“Kaylee was wonderful.. we never had to worry.. she provided such good care that we didn't have to, we know our puppy was being cared for and loved.. we got great updates and sweet pics of our pup. Will definitely call on her again if we head back to PC. 5 Stars and all our appreciation. ❤️”

“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!!”

“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: 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 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 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.
“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.”

My hours are very flexible as of right now so I’ll be available at virtually all times. I will follow directions the best I can. While you’re not there, keeping the animals’ schedule is very important to me. If I asked someone to watch my animals, I’d expect them to take as much care as I would.

About: Hi, my name is L, and I’m ready to meet your furbabies!❤️ Not only do I have so much love for animals and babies, I’ve also had many yrs of experience from wildlife rehabilitation to professional walker and fun/loving times with furbabies of different breeds❤️ I have a mad love for furbabies (reptiles, amphibians, birds, etc included) and make memories while sitting or even to just come check on them, while giving them plenty of attention. ❤️ Growing up raising ducks, opossums, raccoons, snakes, squirrels…you name it, I’ve done it and loved every bit of it. I have 5 furbabies (2 dogs and 3 guineas) of my own, one dog whom is an adopted pit mix and the other adopted as well, she’s a catahoula spotted mix ❤️ the guineas were a rescue situation, as I couldn’t leave them in a bad home…but they’re my world, aside of my daughter. So let’s get together and let me share some love to your babies too. I’m currently a stay at home, as I’m taking time away from the work field, so I’m available 24/7! I’m up early mornings by 7/8am til 1/2am. I’m available and flexible. I care for pets to their owners liking and never go out of an owner’s instructions on feedings, play times, crating if need, medicines…etc. I’m constantly sending owners pics/videos of their furbabies, always reassuring that their babies are having fun and enjoying life.

He loves all animals and would like to work with animals as an adult in his future. He will be accompanying me on all visits. I currently work remote from home. This allows a flexible schedule and the ability to meet pet care requirements. I am available every day of the week and weekends. I am available to care for your pet in your home for a variety of services. I can accommodate dog walks, playing, feeding, etc. Just let me know what you need.

About: Hi! I’m Abigail, a reliable animal lover who’s always happy to spend time with new furry friends. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’m currently a veterinary technician student, so your pet’s health, safety, and comfort are always a top priority. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, playing, and administering medications—including oral, ear, and injectable meds—while making sure your pets get plenty of love and attention. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and at home I have a pup named Willow, two rabbits, and two cats, so life is always full of animals! I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they feel happy, safe, and well loved while you’re away! I am currently working at an animal hospital with flexible hours, this allows me to work around my schedule and yours! Let’s set something up! I am currently not offering care in my own home. I am more than willing to come to yours to help out! Hopefully, I can offer that in the future.
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.

“Extremely knowledgeable about dogs. Such a great find while on vacay and in a jam. Very professional and took awesome care of our sweet boy Remi. Responded quickly and made us feel so comfortable leaving him in another town away from home. Cant give enough PRAISE! ????”

“Destiny was great with my girl Bella. Bella loved her and her dog Sophia. They played so much that by the time it was time for us to pick Bella up they were both tired from playing so much. Bella was scared of thunderstorms and destiny comfort her and made her feel safe and also Bella loved her backyard where she could run and play. She was amazing with our girl and I knew when I picked her up and her being happy and all she took care of our babygirl. The Pics and videos was so wonderful and she sent me them everyday that Bella was there. Thank You for everything you did for Bella. I will be returning to her again . Amazing Dog Person.”

“Great experience! Jessie took wonderful care of our two dogs, gave one her medication as needed, and made sure they had plenty of time to play. We really appreciated the daily updates while we were away. We couldn’t be happier!”

“Anna was wonderful. She kept me updated on how Kona was doing each day. Kona was happy and loved being able to play with the kids on her vacation. I would definitely recommend Anna!!”


“Alissa was amazing with Rue and Remi! She was so sweet, accommodating, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving them with her. We really appreciated her taking them on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again! 🐾🩷🩷”

“I will definitely be boarding with Marina again in the future! She has amazing accommodations for the fur babies she’s house sitting, and I got so many pictures of my dog having an absolute blast. They have a gorgeous fenced in play pen specifically to use as a dog yard, and everything is so nicely kept.”

“Aurora was exceptional. She took great care of my Xena and played with her in the yard. I recommend using this sitter, and I’m grateful she was available for us on short notice.”


“Brittany was amazing! She helped us out last minute and was very responsive. I appreciate her taking her time to get to know my dogs. She sent pictures and videos. The puppies looked and seemed to be comfortable and have lots of fun. Totally recommend Brittany!!”

“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!”

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 prefers 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 ❤️
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 them. 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.
“Shannon was absolutely fabulous! My husband and I were in town to have our wedding with all of our friends and family and had planned on keeping our sweet baby with us but decided it would be best to find someone to watch him since we would be so busy over those few days. I was super nervous leaving my buddy but Shannon reassured me and even checked in throughout the few days she had him and she even sent picture updates! She was absolutely wonderful! Thank you for all you did!”

“Cathryn was amazing! She was very communicative, sent pictures all week, and updated us frequently. We would totally recommend her and plan on booking with her again the future.”

“Heather was absolutely fantastic with our pups. No fuss, sent us photos each day. My babies were healthy and happy when we got back. She has my recommendation for sure.”

About: We have lived and cared for dogs for many years and genuinely love and enjoy all animals. Your pet will be in excellent care with us! One or both of us is home for the majority of the day to live and take care of your animals. We are very intentional and with walking and playtime. We have a fenced in yard with a friendly 3 year old golden retriever to keep your dog company. We will make sure they are safe and have lots of fun.
“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%!”
